Washington Society
Washington s greatest affliction is its social life. It
lui- long been alleged that more legislators are bought
l>\ dr;iwiiif.' tiit.*ii wives and daughters into social chat)
nels than by the gifts of stocks and bonds.
This year has been an extreme season in Washing
ton. We have seen the foreign embassies full of
American officials, who were there principally to'drinV
real champagne.
; The next disgrace came wlu-n Mrs. Gann got to
kicking up around'the Capital t ity and causing the
world and all its business to stagger for a while, while
Washington was trying to find a seat for Mrs. Gann.
Fortunately for the country, time was healing
things over, and people were beginning to come t f
their senses, when all at once, and without warning,
the DePriests were drinking tea at the Presidents
house. And then the old race yuestion boiled up
again
If Mr. Hoover will not attempt to break down the
social color line, it will be much better for the Negro
Race. If Mrs. Gann will stay with her husband more
;.nrl stop cavorting so much around \\ ashington. her
husband would doubtless like it better And it our
Congressmen would keep away from those wine cel
lars around Washington, they could represent us bet
ter. J —'—
The race question is already fairly well settled, n
fact it is better understood now than at any time
since the Civil War. The relationships between the
white and' colored races are well understood by both
races, and are satisfactory. We have the same gov
ernment all of our official rights are the same. The
Negro has the same rights as the whites in religion
and in politics.
But one vast difference exists, and always will
and that » the social question. The white race wiU

maintain his society on the blood basis. The Negro
is entitled to the same privilege, and is capable of
creating and enjoying i social atmosphere that is sat
isfying, enjoyable, and honorable.
No President, nor President's wife, can force so
cial equality between the races; and any attempt to
do so will bring serious embarrassment to both races.
Washington society is not only troublesome, it is
dangerous to the best interests of the country.
Canada (jives her people electricity tor an average
cost of 2 cents j»er kilowatt hour. The electric power
trusts are getting an average of 7 cents from the peo
ple of the United States for the same service. The
[»ower system of Canada is handled by the govern
ment. The valuable electric power of[ the United
States has l>een turned over by politicians to their
"\
The reason that the power trust is trying to get
the newspapers of the country under control is to
keep tlu> truth from the people They do not like
for the news to get out, for instance, that Canadians
are paying 2 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity
on the north side of the Niagara, while the people on
the south side are paying 7 cents to the trust. Hie
jKiwer on the north side comes from the waters of the
Niagara River, ami that on the south side also comes
from the Niagara. The machines that generate the
(urrent on both sides are made in the same factory.
The unly explanation is that on the Canadian side
electricity is handled as a public utility by the gov
ernment. on the American side it is a private mo
nopoly. . .
Bishop Cannon and the Stock Market
bishop Jaines Cannon, jr., lost a lot of his power
when he gambled on the New York stock market.
Any other man will do the same.
What he did may not 1* so badly wrong, but the
bishop knew l>etter. He should have abstained from
even the-very apin-arance of evil.
Since gambling is one of the big crimes of this coun
try, he should have kept his hands clean. Gambling
in stocks is doing more damage today than poker.
lhe fact that he has been caught gambling in stocks
will change the opinion of everybody—his friends will
lose faith in him. and his enemies will lose respect
for him. " * , /
He is a great man and stands (or good government.
But. ala4, he has not kept his hands clean. Ihe splen
did principles he advocates can not march on as they
should under such leadership.
An Action To Be Commended
The New Jersey and Massachusetts school boards
take a o.mmwuiable stand when they bar girl stu
dents who do not wear hose but go to school with
socks down to the ankles and bare legs up to and
above the knees. It is a fine thing to see men with
a sense of duty which impels them-to demand decency
in dress. . . •
Perhaps no more glaring impudence is being prac
