BRADLEY WINS
School Board Ignores
The Citizens
COMMITTEE
The citizens
committee was ignored
and denied a heaiing before the
School Boaid. They had been
led to expect when they filed
their complaint with the Secy
of the Board
they would have a hearing af-
ter the teachers had filled their
answers. We don't know
whether the Supt. ever permit
ted the complaint to reach
the Board
but we do know that the old
Board would at least give the
people a hearing whether they
granted their request or not.
(The Board had the might to
deny a hearing). We think the
people were entitled to a hear
ing even though their request
were denied. We undei stand
a report was carried to the
Board that the committee desir-
ed to dictate appointments.
The report is made of whole
cloth. The opposition to the
people's committee were defeat
ed until they got the big boss
Bradley in the game and then
the little fellows were compelled
to play onthe edges.
It was the fellows that ped-
dled the lies on the -street and
elsewhere Some of the lies
carried to the white folks by the
small guy were that the com
mittee desired to have mixed
schools that they were against
Booker T. and favored Duboise
(as a matter of fact both of
these race leader had partisans
on the committee)that it was a
fight between Northern and
Southern Negroes a lie as false
as hell The final statement
mittee is lesponsible for this
article except editor. The Com-
mittee took its defeat philosop-
hically theo were up against a
crowd "who would bend the
pregranthinges of the knee that
ihYift might follow fawing" Is
the fight ovei? Let the pjoplo
say.
They say the children of the
Rebels well catch h next
session.
The Victors should be mag-
nanimous not vicious and reye-
ngful. They should be satisfied
with victo.iy and di tating.
was so we are are infoi m d that
the committee was teaching the
children they were as good and
better than than white children
The little president of the
local league is reported to have
made the statement and in the
presence of Boss Elliott that two
teachers should be eliminated
they failed us to the lady but
the man Mr. Robinson was not
elected. Did Hooker mail car-
riea dictate this and he was too
weak to defeat the lady. Is it
the policy of the Post. Office
Dept. to hay.e mail carriers dab
bjing in matteis to the deter
mined of the sei vice. Has the
rule of ''offensive partisanship
been abolislud? What crime
Robinson committed against the
bosses? The only crime we
know of Is tli.it he purchased a
pair oj shoes from Elliott when
he first struck town trying to
carry tlie Washington idea
Another cuss says the Board
turned him down because he
was a friend of Twine bah!
Tine never asked the Board to
appoint anyone. The little cuss
wants credit but the real cause
is Rob wanted 75 plucks per
month.
Bradley was too big too stoop
to these little tilings. It was
small fry who did the dirty
work. When Barb ley went to
call on the School Board one of
the little fellows a Mr. Walker
desired to go with him but the
Boss said NO and the little at-
torney subsided.
The Committee will report its
defeat to the people and the
causes. No member of the com-
Negro
Graduates
Twenty two negro high school
graduates received diplomas at
the Kin ton theater last night
after heaiii g commencement
address by Joseph A. Biykr
president of the Arkansas Bapt
college. The diplomas were pre-
sented by W. P. Moffat t. ex-
meinber of the Muskogee public
school ho ird.
The need for intelligent in-
dustrious educated Negiomon
and women in the United States
today wasponttd out by Prof
Booker He outlined at length
the opportunity for the educat
ed Negro of today telling the
audience as well as the twenty-
two graduates who sat upon the
stage that the condition of the
Negro in the past and his inferior
place in the world today is and
has keen because of lack of ed-
ucation. The n'moval of the bars
gaainst a Negio's education has
opened the door to opportunity
he told them.
The program for the evening
exercises was.

Mr. E. Arlington Wilson
Muskogee Oklahoma.
My Dear Brother Wilson:
I am simply writing this letter to
thank you for the manly defense you
made in the Ministerial Voice. I
had not been the compliment paid
mo by tho Editor of tho Union Re-
view. I shall try to go hold of a
copy so as to be enlightened.
It the editor can give mo ono
bettor than Slabtown the job is
opened. Tho people are writing mo
daily for something just as good
as Slabtown and 1 am sure if ho
can give something better they
will rise up and call his blessed. I
am writing a play and since I have
begun to think about it I guess I
had better send it to. tho editor to
be criticized before I put it on tho
market. 1 did not write tho "little
nonsense" to make money but our
Organization gets about ono hundred
dollars a year off of it. I could
mako more If r pushed tho play. It
has simply been selling itself. The
first year I sold it for fifteen cents
per copy and I did not soil five dol-
lars worth. During the past three
years I have sold it for ilfty cents
per copy and have iealized tho neat
stun jubt mentioned. Every penny
of the money from tho things I got
out goes to tho Woman's Convention.
Wo would like to have some of our
critics get out something that will
net a hundred dollars per year to
the convention. Then as you slatn
in your paper the llttlo old unpre-
tentious play was written for a pur-
pose and I think it is serving tho
purpose fairly well.
Let mo again thank you and as-
sure you that I have planned a largo
program for mysolf and with God's
help I am going to play tho last
number that I have on It before
I waste any of my time with peo
pie who talk much and do little.
With best wishes I am yours
for tho highest development of
Christian womanhood.
