The telephone is an indispensable element in it. The Bell System is building ahead of the growth of this civilization. In 19:9 the telephone budget for land and buildings is 54 million dollars, with new build ings rising in 200 cities. New equipment for central offices will cost 142 millions; exchange lines 120 mil lions; toll lines 119 millions. The Bell System’s total expenditure for plant and service improvements this year will be 559 mil lion dollars. This outlay is required because the telephone is a universal servant of this democracy. Business uses it to create more prosperity. Homes use it for com fort and protection, for keeping friendships alivs and enriching life. Its general use enables each per sonality to extend itself without regard to distance. The telephone ideal is that anyone, anywhere, shall be able to talk quickly and at reasonable coat with anyone, anywhere else. There is no standing still in tne Bell System.

When spoken by Manons, the word “Einnamuel” sound ed as “Eimmanon.” The last syllable of Snoqualmie is the word “Eim” re versed, and means “Individual, or Small Portion.” The remainder of Snoqualmie reversed forms the word “Lauqone,” and is the name that was applied to skin and skull collecting cannibals with whom tropical America and Manon were at war. The letter “W” originates from the use of the double “UU” and the original pronuciation of “Lauqons” is “Law- qons.” t • • - The Lawqons are sometimes referred to as the “Kitchen Midden Indians." Kitchen Midden means "Glutton, or Stomach Worship.” The name “Negro” that is now applied to Manons, is derived from the appellation "Knee Goers,” meaning people who go to their knees when seeking Divine favor. Before the Revolutionary War, what is now Rogue River was known as Rough River. That name was too rad ical to suit some of the new arrivals, and they called it Rude River, which the Indians pronounced "Rod” and the stream was known as “Rod River” for a number of years. But the thieves soon gained the majority and the present name “Rogue” was applied, which is less desirable than the {i,arne • *^at was applied to the stream by the French Missionaries, whose line of communication was cut by the Revolutionary War.

Sixth and Salmon BRondway 7611 J M e rc h a n d ise O f M e rit O n l (Continued from I*agt I) Negro than nothing of as a white man I" Hon. Ik Priest urged the Negro to be loyal to those who make il possible for him to live. In this connection, he said "\\ e are loo prone lo neglect our places of employment. Sometimes we forget to return to work after a pay day. The wheels of commerce must turn six days a week If they cannot turn with black labor, they will turn without il. Wheie ever you are employed, be loyal to your employer. If you will not be loyal to the man who makes its possible for you to j I'»*, you will not be loyal to yourselves We are losing ground economically. We are too prune to lay oft and go to a picnic or a funeral. Advise* Race "A* I go about over the country, 1 see so many men doing the work you used to do—men who are mg citizens men who wilt not defend our govern ment in time of war. Object* to Foreigner* "When I return to Congress, I shall take up with Republican leaders, the qiiestnai of mlrmlncing in C o n g r e s s a hill requiring every foreigner to pay an occupational tax, unless he declares— within a five year |>rnnd-—his intention of becoming a citizen No man or woman has a right to come to America earn a living—educate their children m our public schools ami not assume the rc- sponsibitity of citizenship. When this country needs men to defend it. only American citizens can he listed. No Chinese. Japanese, Italian, Swrtles, Nor urgiant. West Indian, et al, should stay in our country and not assume the re spontibility of supporting our govern merit During the world war, there were hundreds of thousands of them who could tug l>e sent over there because they were not American citizens You have your alien land laws out here on the Coast, which afford some protection —but there are thousands of American citizens unemployed while the non-citi zens are employes). Summarise* I’oliUeal Advanermrnt "Many of you may be interested to know how 1 got to Congress. I shall give you a brief summary of how it came about: In l»04, I was elected as County Commissioner; in 1VIJ. I broke the ice and was the first Negro to lie elected to the City Conns'll. An alder man in Chicago means something I do not know what one gels outs here, but in Chicago an alderman gets $3000 per year, and works about two days per week. There are 50 wards in Chicago - there are two Negro aldermen now In the State legislature, are five Negro members in the lower house, and seven in the upper The Negro has a chatfrr, providing he lives the part. There are 300 Negro school teachers in Chicago. 273 Negro police officers; 3000 in the postal department, and a total of 4000 under civil service rule. You are not in office in these Western towns because you do not take the civil service exaini nations. Negro Must Stand on Merit "The days of sympathy for the Negro are over with—and they ought to go I.et the black man stand on his merit— or fall He has no right to ask for sym pathy. We do not ask for justice. But yourself on the same Istsis that all other American citizens stand on. The Negro must be self respecting if he expects all others to respect him ” Speaking of the Negro’s educational advancement, the Congressman pointed out: "Right after the civil war. there were 150,000 Negro children in school; today, there are 3,000,000 Negro children m school. It is impossible to educate the white children without educating the Negro children.” He expressed pride in the rapid advancement of his race. He urged his hearers to cultivate friendly relations with the white people, declar ing : 1 here is no other way, because you are in the hopeless minority.” Eulogize* Madden The speaker paid a glowing tribute to the late Congressman Madden, whom he succeeded, stating that had Mr. Madden lived, he (D ei’riest) never would have gone to Congress. Mr DeBriest handled Congressman Madden’s campaign for 10 years, he said, and added: "On every question where human rights were in volved, Madden voted like we asked him to vote. We have such few outstanding white men in politics, let’s stand by them when they have the courage to stand by us. I have nude some enemies by stand ing by Madden, but I am not sorry for what I did. I am in Congress and it was the vote of the hard working, com mon, honest Negro, that did the job. Mr. DeBriest said he deplored the ig norance of the public generally and his race especially, of the constitution of the United States. Urge* Study of Conxtitution "When I went to Congress I found that I was allowed only four copies of the U. S. Constitution. I had 20,000 copies printed at my own expense to give away to any one who wanted them. We must first understand the Constitu tion before we can know what our rights are. He urged careful study of the doc ument by the people and their support in the enforcement of its provisions. A humorous note was injected when Mr. DeBriest said: "Many people seem to think I am the only man in Congress. I get lots of mail and all kinds of re quests. Mail addressed to the ’Colored’ Congressman, the ’Negro Congressman’ and often to the ’Nigger Congressman’ comes to me. I accept it all No one can insult me. I don’t go about with a chip on my shoulder but J advise anyone not to step on my feet. The speaker stated that ’every courtesy’ had been accorded him since he had been in Congress, con trary to newspaper reports. Would Equalise Value of llallot Remarks addressed directly to the few whites in the audience: "Equalize Ainer ica’t voting »lieugth If the Republicans had the nerve to eulurce the cunstitu lion, they could reduce the Congression al vote by 33, which would also reduce the electoral vote 35, then we could never live l<*tg enough to see a Demo crat president cleitcd Should the vote of one section of the country have a greater value thin another? Oregon cast 320,1**1 votes in the last election; Ore gou has three Congress men It took an avetagv of loo.oixi votes to elect a Con gressmin Sooth Carolina cast a total of 6*,«o3 votes, and South Carolina lias seven Congressmen elected on an aver age of tntoo votes In other words, a vote in Soul*’ Cl minus has ten timrs the value of a vote In Oregon If it is radi cal to ask the American government to enforce the Constitution, then I am radical." "U you diai’t file your complaint, pro plr will think you arc satisfied with con ditions 1 shall never k satisfied until I enjoy every right guaranteed to me under the Constitution The Irish agiiat rd 700 years before they got their tree ■ lorn I'lie Negro has just liegnu to .igi tale, lie must light with his head and the ballot. Urge* Enforcement of Conatiliition " I he government ia spending milhune to enforce the tHth amendment Isn’t it light to spend a few millions to enforce the Fourteenth? One says a man shall not drink and the other says lie shall vote 1 would rather spend a million to rnforce the Fourteenth Amendment than 14 to enforce the lrighternthf I he first deprives millions of their only weapon of defense." The Tea I’arty” I he speaker made brief reference lo the White House ’Tea Batty" which Mr- I k l ’rg-st attended on invitation . I Mrs Hoover, stating that a great deal of unnecessary publicity had hern given the incident, lie added: "II the incident will drive the I kuna'rats hark to their party, as the agitators believe it will, it also will serve to drive some foolish Negroes luck to the Republic .'11 party It was not the love for the K-publican party that caused the Democrat 1 to vote the Republican ticket in the la -,1 election, but it was fear lliat the |V-pe of Rome would move to Washington and into the White House He urged the colored voters not lo semi Democrats to Congress, no mattrr how good they were to the race back home He said that when they got to Congress, they were won over by the Democrats from the South who had been kept ill Congrrvv from year to year and under the seniority rule had suc ceeded m holding important committee places. , Commissioner Diglow welcomed the distinguished guest 011 Ivehalf of the city; Rev Daniel G Hill, Jr , offered the in vocation; Mrs. G.
