LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PRESIDENT DECREES THAT ENTIRE PERSONNEL OF EX-SOLDIERS' $2,000,000 HOSPITAL SHALL BE COLORED HARDING CALLS HALT ON WHITES AT TUSKEGEE VETERNS' BUREAU HAD GIVEN 400 WHITES POSITIONS IN COLORED EX-SOLDIERS' HOSPITAL VOL. XXIX. PRESIDENT DECREE PERSONNEL OF $2,000,000 HO BE CO HARDING CALLS H TUSK VETERNS' BUREAU HA POSITIONS IN COLC HOSP THE entire personnel from com- mandant and surgeon-in-chief to clerk and scrub-woman at the government's new two million dollar hospital for colored wounded soldiers at Tuskegee is to be colored. This order, said to have come directly from President Harding, nips in the bud the plan of the Veterans Bureau, the American Legion, under its southern commander, and the leading whites of Alabama to man the entire hospital with whites. Imes Embarrassed Moton The Veterans' Bureau recommended the all-colored hospital at Tuskegee in order to have all colored soldiers removed from white hospitals. It then placed Colonel Imes of North Carolina, a prejudiced white man, in charge as commandant. Imes took charge recently and was in Tuskegee three days before it was known officially to Dr. R. R. Moton, head of the school which donated the 316 acres for the buildings. Then he insulted every teacher or official on the grounds by learning their first names and by addressing them in familiar terms. Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee, was called "Warren," to his face, and Principal Moton was "Moton." Tuskegee Institute was never so embarrassed before, and the new commandant announced that the surgeons, nurses, and all employees except a few minor ones would be white men and women. The Alabama state law which imposes a fine and a year's imprisonment upon white nurses who attend colored patients, was to be avoided by oppointing white women as nurses, but supplying each one with a colored aide who would do the actual work. President Acts When word of what was going on was brought to the President through the Republican National Committee, of which Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia is a member, he ordered Imes to stop at once and announced that the personnel will be all colored. Henry Lincoln Johnson was in the city Tuesday en route from Salisbury, Md., Wilmington, Philadelphia, Havre de Grace to Washington. To a group of physicians and others called hurriedly at the Y. M. C. A. he stated that he had been authorized by the President to recommend an entire colored personnel for the hospital. He flayed the American Legion as the "most compact body organized for prejudice in America." All-White Order Reversed The entire number of employees desired, Colonel Johnson said, was 400, including commandant and chief surgeon, at $9,000 each; 21 assistant surgeons, 4 dentists, 3 pharmacists, electrical engineer, auto drivers and experts, stenographers, clerks, ice plant, State Illist & Nat Illist Society State House THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA ES THAT ENTIRE EX-SOLDIERS' HOSPITAL SHALL LORED ALT ON WHITES AT EGEE AD GIVEN 400 WHITES LORED EX-SOLDIERS' HOSPITAL x-ray expert and many other types of workers. The lowest wage, it was reported, will be $1,000 a year, plus $240 bonus, quarters and subsistence. Collection of the recommendations of persons desiring to fill these positions at Tuskegee have been placed in the hands of Dr. J. C. Stewart, 704 N. Lafayette avenue, who is head of the local medical association. Accompanying Colonel Johnson on his trip here was Melvin J. Chisum of Salisbury, Md., who described the hospital as one of the beauty spots in the country.—Afro-American, Baltimore. Mrs. B. T. Washington Delivers Stirring address to Whites Montgomery, Ala., April 20.—Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute delivered a stirring address before a large audience of prominent white women here, using the Negro as her subject. Her speech marked the first public appearance of a colored woman before a white audience in the history of Montgomery, the cradle of the Confederacy. The occasion for the speech was the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Woman's Presbytery. Mrs. Washington said that only through the co-operation of the Christian white people of the South can the colored people ever be of material service to the county. She said that she, as a Southern born and Southern reared woman realized the Southern people can be real true friends of the Negro and that co-operation is vitally needed especially of white women. Dr. Crossland, Government Official, Seeks Divorce Court Washington, D. C., April 20.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, in charge of the work among Colored soldiers in the World War Veterans' Bureau, has filed suit for divorce against his wife, charging her with "hampering and nagging" him in his work. The suit has caused no end of comment in the capitol city where Mrs. Crossland now resides, and when the case comes up for hearing in St. Joseph, Mo., in May, some interesting revelations are promised. It is reported that Mrs. Crossland will inquire into the identity of one "Baby Doll," said to live in Chicago, from whom numerous letters have come and to whom numerous long distance calls have been made and frequent visits indulged in. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923. X-Ray Operator Is Owner of His Own Laboratory Dr. Clayton Powell, Graduate of Howard Medical New York, April 20.—Located in the heart of Harlem, at 2372 Seventh Ave., is one of the most modern and up-to-date X-ray and pathological laboratories to be found in the city of New York and the only one in the United States owned and operated by one of our race. Dr. Clayton B. Powell is the owner and operator of the laboratory. Born in Newport News, Va., 28 years ago, Dr. Powell, after finishing at Howard Medical School in the class of 1920 entered Bellevue hospital as an interne, serving in that capacity for one year in the department of radiology. This department at Bellevue is the largest and best equipped of its kind in the world. Graduating from that department, the first of his race to even study there, and incidentally the last to enter Bellevue, the young man was appointed to the staff of Bellevue, that honor going to him as the highest student of the year. Although some objection was raised to one of our kind serving in that important department at the largest hospital in the world, he continued to serve through the grace of Dr. I. Seth Hirsh, director of radiology, and was an active member of the staff for six months. In November, 1921, he opened up his own place at 2372 Seventh Ave., and has continued to add to it until today Dr. Powell has his laboratory as finely equipped as any in the city. Apart from Dr. James L. Martin, who is head of the X-ray department at Mercy hospital in Philadelphia, there is no other physician of our race in the country who specializes in the use of the Roentgen rays. Among the instruments to be found in the laboratory is the flouroscope, which enables the doctor to look directly through any part of the anatomy; the steroscope, for photographing simultaneously three dimensions, enabling the location of the exact spot where an injury may exist, and the large transformer. Through the latter machine runs the ordinary electric current of 220 volts, transforming it to the necessary 130,000 volts for the production of X-rays. This powerful machine can produce current up to 230,000 volts. His training in X-ray therapy at Bellevue enables him now to treat many of the difficult cases sent in to him mainly by our physicians, obviating in a number of cases the use of the surgeon's knife. Although peculiarly situated in that he is the possessor of knowledge little known, Dr. Powell is an extremely democratic young man and modest with it alt. Born of poor parents, he represents the self-made man, and may some day be listed as one of the world's most expert radiologists. KLAN INVADES CAPITAL TO AID NEGRO ORPHANAGE Austin, Tex., April 26.—Marching into the Hall of Representatives in the state capitol, approximately seventy Klu Klus Klansman in full regalia tonight presented a purse of money to Lee Campbell, head of the St. John Orphanage for Negroes, which was giving a musical program. There was a large crowd of whites and Negroes in the hall. Negro Farmers Moving North A general movement of southern Negro farmers to northern industrial centers is indicated in a special survey of southern farming districts made by the United States Department of Agriculture. The survey throws additional light on farm population figures recently issued by the department showing a net movement from farms to towns and cities, of 324,000 persons including men, women and children in the South Atlantic States in 1922. High industrial wages is given as the chief reason for the reported migration. Boll-weevil conditions last year which made cotton growing unprofitable for a number of Negro farmers, unrest among returning Negro troops who experienced more attractive living conditions away from farms during and after the war, and breakdown of the contract labor system are given as contributory causes. Approximately 13 per cent or 32,000 persons of the total number of Negro farm hands and laborers in Georgia have moved North during the past 12 months, the report shows. The movement goes on although crops for the present season are already started. A large abandonment of acreage is reported, and the labor shortage is expected to be a major factor in limiting acreage this season. The situation in Georgia is much worse than is generally realized, the report says. The movement from South Carolina since September 15, 1922 is placed at about 22,750 Negro farmers, or about 3 per cent of the total Negro farmer population. The movement from Florida is estimated at about 2 per cent of Negroes living in or near farming communities. From Alabama comes the report that approximately $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of the whole body of Negro farm workers have moved North since the last crop season. Arkansas shows a movement of about 15,000 Negro farmers or about $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of the Negro population. Movement from Kentucky has been very small, and from Missouri, North Carolina and Oklahoma no movement is reported. Louisiana reports an exodus of about 1 per cent the total number of farm hands; Tennessee a movement of about 4,500 Negro farmers since April 7, 1922. The farm labor situation in Texas apparently is not as serious as in the Eastern Cotton States. CHURCH OF ETHIOPIA OLDEST IN CHRISTENDOM According to Prince W. S. J. Challoucheclizise, nephew of Emperor Menelik, son-in-law of the late queen of Madagascar and a graduate of Oxford College of England and the University of Alexandria, Egypt, the Church of Ethiopia (Act 8 26-39) is said to now be the oldest in Christendom. Rome admits the early conversion of the Ethiopians to the Gospel, the Catholic Encyclopedia remarking: "It is certain that ancient Ethiopia was evangelized in apostolic times by the eunuch of Queen Candance, baptized by Philip the Deacon." McClintock and Strong( Methodists) Ireneus, Bishop of Lyons (born 130 A. D.) and Eusebius, who flourished about 321 A. D., likewise give similar testimony. IS HARVARD REPORT PROPA GANDA In the face of Harvard's recent attitude on the Negro, it would seem, to indicate that this contradiction of existing Biblical and historical records on Egyptian civilization is but a continuation of the white man's propaganda to deprive the Negro of any connection whatsoever with any form of ancient civilization. (Pacific News Bureau, Apr. 21, 1923.) LOUISIANA WOMEN JOIN GOOD WILL MOVEMENT DECLARE ONLY CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES CAN SOLVE SOUTH'S RACE PROBLEM HOLD LYNCHING INEXCUSABLE Will Work for Justice Through State Race Relations Committee REALIZING that the entire world is facing as its most threatening and pressing issue, the solution of the problem of race relations the women of Louisiana declare our belief in the efficacy of the Christian principles as the only means to insure peace and harmony and furnish a method for the final solution. The South is the Testing Ground We recognize the fact that in the order of Providence, the South has become the crucial testing ground of these relations. Inasmuch as the white and colored races must continue to live together in the South, we are convinced that the relations between them should be based on Brotherhood. Both are the children of one God and Father of us all. We should accept this truth and frankly face all its implications. ence and co-operation between all races, which would adjust their differences, thus promoting the welfare of all. It is our purpose to "lift as we climb" to strengthen as we go, and to give. We intend by personal appeal to those in authority, to secure for the Negro race, privileges and conditions to which they are entitled, as citizens such as sanitation, lighting and grading of streets, better housing conditions; also that in the same manner we help them to obtain additional advantages such as play-grounds, libraries, community centers, etc. We are coming to realize more and more, the power of the press to mould thought; therefore, we shall appeal to our editors of all our newspapers to give space to the fine achievements of We purpose to use our influence to secure law enforcement in order that all people, both black and white, may have its protection. We wish to express our conviction that it is the high duty of the more-advantaged race to set an example of good morals and high ideals in private life. Our colored fellow-countrymen are struggling up the steps of civilization. Both races are deeply injured when any member of the race that has so long preceded them on their road, stoops to weaken their morals by his own and bad moral conduct. Common decency, as well as Christian consideration, requires us to remember the ancient motto of our race, "noblesse oblige." The Negro will be in an infinitely better condition if a day shall come when white men cease to lead him into the violation of the laws of both God and man. In behalf of better observance of law, of the attainment of higher standards of ethics in race contacts and especially of a solemn sense on the part of the white people of our state, of their obligations as leaders and teachers we pledge ourselves to do all within our power to make these relations conform more and more to the standards of real civilization and genuine Christianity, co-operating with the Commission on Interracial Co-operation in their splendid plans for carrying out God's will. Lynching We register herewith our protest against the barbaric custom of lynching, which arouses violent and unChristian passions, brings law into disrepute, is inhuman and brutal, and unknown outside of our own land of America. We hold that no circumstance can ever justify such violent disragard of law and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chivalric consideration and honor of womanhood. We wish to assert our belief that Our Father created every race to contribute its own part toward the upbuilding of His Kingdom that the establishment of a civilization in which all peoples may live and grow into His image. We recognize the wisdom of confer- NO.28. ence and co-operation between all races, which would adjust their differences, thus promoting the welfare of all. It is our purpose to "lift as we climb" to strengthen as we go, and to give. We intend by personal appeal to those in authority, to secure for the Negro race, privileges and conditions to which they are entitled, as citizens, such as sanitation, lighting and grading of streets, better housing conditions; also that in the same manner we help them to obtain additional advantages such as play-grounds, libraries, community centers, etc. We are coming to realize more and more, the power of the press to mould thought; therefore, we shall appeal to our editors of all our newspapers to give space to the fine achievements of the Negro, rather than to stories of crime and unworthiness. We recognize that a definite responsibility rests upon us in making right sentiment function in our communities. We further recognize it would be infinitely greater to lead the world in interracial good-will than in international finances. Therefore, we covet leadership in bringing about peace and good-will among the different races of men. The God who hath made of one blood all nations of men is the acknowledged God of both the white and Negro American. With our trust in Him we go forward as Louisiana women to do our share in this task which angels might seek to perform. White and Colored Women Employed In Gary Factory Gary, Ind., April 20.—Numbered among the institutions recently installed in Northern Indiana which show promise for future employment for colored women is the Dellman Waist Company of Gary. This institution recently set their factory in motion. Women of both races are employed and Mrs. C. Lindsay, formerly of Chicago, a talented woman of our group has been made floor lady in charge. This commercial enterprise has been fostered and promoted by the Mid City Realty Company, a concern which has been largely instrumental in building up Gary through its sales throughout the country. It is said that the firm feels it will be an advantage to demonstrate the possibilities of colored women when trained in the garment making industry as well as to add an attractive feature to the bids which they make, for home owners to settle in the steel city. The company announces the success of their new plan; that of constructing and financing homes on a cost plus basis and states that they have erected more than $500,000 worth of houses under this plan.

The bill was passed, 19 to 7. ‘The attack on Hill was the most dramatic event of the session. Shoup Visits Senate. Denver—Former Goy. Oliver H. Shoup dropped in on the Senate the last day of the session and Lieutenant Governor Rockwell took him up to the chalr where he spoke words of cheer to the senators und congratulated them upon the good work they had done. Replying to him, Senator L. B. Girard, Republican, Boulder, read an original poem polnting out that what- ever good thoughts a senator had of himself would be met with rebuffs by his constituents when he got home.

SCHOOL ELECTION OF VITAL IMPORTANCE ONLY nine days more until the school election, and every lover of educational advancement, every man and women interested in the welfare of the youth, in the acquisition of that which qualifies him or her to lead and guide the actions of a generation, a country, should feel it a duty to record a vote Monday, May 7th, for a board of education consisting of men who will serve the common interests of the people and bring about a successful turn in our educational system. Religious controversies must be dropped, and the new elected not fettered by any political or religious influences would be free to exercise to the best of their ability what they consider most advantageous to our children and our city. THE COLORADO STATESMAN is particularly interested, having experienced the success and failure of our schools under various governing bodies, and being in a position to know that whenever men of backbone are elected to serve in this capacity the best results are obtained—the schools making great progress, friction being set aside, it becomes therefore our duty to advise a careful weighing of the candidates, which will result in a wise selection, who will represent the interest of all the people. Monday, May 7th is the time, and the polls are open from 7 a.m. to Monday, May 7th, is the time, and the polls are open from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. Vote early. BROKEN COLUMNS long city election in Denver presents a secrecy, surpasses any similar condition, and only officials are to be elected, but the will of the office of mayor. There would be an eight or two or three groups could agree as to a semblance of solidarity as to in candidate for mayor today and in the seemingly respectable following today as a sun rise. Broken columns, shattered trees strew the pathway to the city hall, a sorry mess and emphasizes more the white man, while long on advice itself torn into factions and shreds wringly before his gaze. On one or two we shared political ambitions. The fact temerity to have such ambitions was gro could not and would not "get together on was discounted for naught. But did in; a mayorality election is made槄槄 is on. Candidates spring up of the many forces and factions that obscurity. The more we look upon linked to the opinion that there is not between the white and the black, who blooms in the offering. THE approaching city election in Denver presents a situation just now, that for complexity, surpasses any similar condition within our memory. Many city officials are to be elected, but the wild, mad scramble is centered around the office of mayor. There would be a measure of saving grace if any one, two or three groups could agree as to an acceptable candidate or present a semblance of solidarity as to issues involved. A man may be a candidate for mayor today and in the discard tomorrow. He may have a seemingly respectable following today and stand all alone before tomorrow's sun rise. Broken columns, shattered dreams, destroyed ambitions and hopes strew the pathway to the city hall at present. It is a pitiful spectacle, a sorry mess and emphasizes more strongly than we dared hope, that the white man, while long on advice to us to "get together" finds himself torn into factions and shreds when a large, juicy plum hangs temptingly before his gaze. On one or two occasions in recent years Negroes have shared political ambitions. The fact that more than one possessed the temerity to have such ambitions was hailed as an evidence that the Negro could not and would not "get together." The element of human equasion was discounted for naught. But behold the spring of 1923 is ushered in; a mayorality election is made the stakes and instantly a mad scramble is on. Candidates spring up galore as is their right, but what of the many forces and factions that bring them out, some from evident obscurity. The more we look upon the spectacle, the more are we inclined to the opinion that there is not such a great difference after all between the white and the black, when power and position and control looms in the offering. PERSONAL HABITS AND MORALS habits and morals are closely related to you are one and the same thing no one of habits may crystalize into character, but it a public property. To be sure a nurse in a community may give the community or class and thus cause the reputation to be affected. Indeed, this seems present time. If persons of uncertain reputation of the whole community tend all a sharp distinction ought to be, which are purely personal, and the rights of another. While every one worked up in their personal tone, yet no one pass upon our private morals. They are all right in what they allege again call coffee drinkers immoral and sinny who up to date have been considered men and women.ilk is not the same thing as being under this delusion. What we need are necessary to differentiate those c those that simply affect ourselves a SPRING We are having an occasional snow at praaching when we will revel in the truth. Reflecting on the experience of the t when the consensus of opinion was: not of white until May, we cannot but consider climatic conditions, suited to capability to which brings renewed health. ment of an average temperature above and pureness of atmosphere, it necessary ought, spirit and action should be poised with the beautiful strains that proceed to branch heralding the incoming for hope and encouragement for some present state of business. As we go along we notice stores with new stock in the people in their usual manner peering into ampse of spring garments. But of hard times is prevalent throughout season to hope that we will be amply relied on for the test that we have undergone, and one to take time by the forelock, accord obtain what seems to be in store for all of spring are too innumerable to our hearts give praise and thanks to Him comfort and enjoyment of all creation, in the season that brings us good ch THAT personal habits and morals are closely related no one will deny, but that they are one and the same thing no one will affirms. Personal habits may crystallize into character, but character is an individual and not a public property. To be sure a number of persons of similar character in a community may give the community the appearance of a certain type or class and thus cause the reputation or standing of the entire locality to be affected. Indeed, this seems to be the case in Denver at the present time. If persons of uncertain character predominate, then the reputation of the whole community takes on a certain flexibility, but after all a sharp distinction ought to be made between the habits of a people which are purely personal, and the habits which interfere with the rights of another. While every one would be glad to see the community lifted up in their personal tone, yet no one feels like invoking the Law to pass upon our private morals. The wise-acres of Battle Creek may be all right in what they allege against coffee drinking, but when people call coffee drinkers immoral and sinners, they attrack the morals of many who up to date have been considered among our noblest and best men and women. To be a crank is not quite the same thing as being moral, although some cranks labor under this delusion. What we need to discern is that right distinctions are necessary to differentiate those customs that offend good society and those that simply affect ourselves and satisfy our own tastes. SPRING EVEN though we are having an occasional snow at present, yet the time is fast approaching when we will revel in the idea that spring has come again. Reflecting on the experience of the terrible snowstorms of last Sunday, when the consensus of opinion was: no chance of clearing away our mantle of white until May, we cannot but conclude that we live in a country of wonderful climatic conditions, suited to all phases of humanity, the adaptability to which brings renewed health and vigor to suffering ones. In the enjoyment of an average temperature above 50 degrees, brilliant sunshine and pureness of atmosphere, it necessarily follows that an awakening of thought, spirit and action should be possessed by us, and acting in concert with the beautiful strains that proceed from the birds as they fly from branch to branch heralding the incoming of the season, there is every reason for hope and encouragement for some progress and betterment of the present state of business. As we go along the business section of the city we notice stores with new stock in the various lines being installed, and the people in their usual manner peering at the windows to catch the first glimpse of spring garments. The complaint of hard times is prevalent throughout the country, but we have every reason to hope that we will be amply rewarded in this and the next season for the test that we have undergone, and it needs only our energy and backbone to take time by the forelock, accomplishing the task set before us, and obtain what seems to be in store for us. The blessings of spring are too innumerable to mention herein, but we can with all our hearts give praise and thanks to Him who provides the seasons for the comfort and enjoyment of all creation, and with this fact alone will rejoice in the season that brings us good cheer—spring. L. C. DYER. THE MAN No citizens will have an unusual oppo- nent Wednesday night of next week. Leonid Dyer Anti-lynching Bill and champion citizens of Denver at the People's Ta- tle on the subject of the "SHAME OF A lup upon the nature and degree of sha- plunged by a thiry years' record of a human beings surpassing that of a The important thing is for Denver N and pay substantial tribute to the man x-like, defying the elements of Souther- ing relentlessly to put an end to this. DENVER Negro citizens will have an unusual opportunity presented to them on Wednesday night of next week. Leonidas C. Dyer, author of the famed Dyer Anti-lynching Bill and champion of human rights will address the citizens of Denver at the People's Tabernacle, 20th and Lawrence Streets on the subject of the "SHAME OF AMERICA." Needless is it to dwell upon the nature and degree of shame into which this country has been plunged by a thirty years' record of lynchings, burnings and torturing of human beings surpassing that of any other civilized nation on earth. The important thing is for Denver Negroes to turn out overwhelmingly and pay substantial tribute to the man who has stood in the forefront, Ajax-like, defying the elements of Southern abuse and continually, and battling relentlessly to put an end to this shame. It is said that the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is making arrangements to give him a large and representative meeting. But the movement should go farther. Every Negro organization of any character, churches, lodges, clubs, etc., should vie with each other in a space consuming plan to pay deserved tribute to Mr. Dyer. He has fought our battles, he has pleaded for a righteous cause, he has raised his voice against a monstrous, constantly growing evil. By his persistence, he has aroused the public conscience and held before the American people, a mirror that all may behold in the reflex, the hideous, self-condemning shame that this country can only escape through federal intervention. Denver Negroes boast of their gratitude; let it be evident Wednesday night by an ovation to L. C. Dyer, the Man, second to none in the history of Denver.

HART Main 3365 PAPER HANGING Denver, Colorado Champa 8648 REEVES MEL AND FEED Denver, Colorado By FRANK W. MONDELL, Majority Leader in House. DESIRE to keep within the proper limits of debate in discussing the failure of the senate to pass upon tremendously important legislation which has been considered by the house. This failure arises, as everyone knows, out of the fact that a majority of the senate cannot bring debate to an end and compel a vote on pending legislation. It ought to be in order in the house to discuss rules or lack of rules in the senate under which a minority, and frequently a small minority of the senate, can prevent action on highly important legislation which the house has considered. It would not be proper to indulge in criticism on the judgment expressed by the senate touching legislation, originating in either the house or the senate. But it is quite a different matter when the rules of one of the branches of a legislative body, or the lack of rule, prevents consideration and final judgment by one body of the legislation originating in the other. Furthermore, if I am not trespassing on forbidden ground, may I call attention to the fact that a condition of chronic filibuster in the senate renders it exceedingly difficult, if not entirely impossible, to give proper consideration in that body to many measures, which thus reach the house from the senate in very different form than they would be likely to present had the senate, free from the presence of a filibuster, had abundant opportunity for their consideration. People Must Be Given a Chance to Say "Yes" or "No" to Amendments By JAMES W. WADSWORTH, JR., Senator From New York. It matters not what any one of us thinks of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth amendments. That is not the point. The point is that we have reached a step in the development of our Constitution where something must be done to restore to the people the power which every one thought they possessed. We must see to it that amendments proposed from this time on shall be submitted in such fashion as to give the people themselves a chance to say "yes" or "no" to them. We cannot afford to have some future amendment, destructive of our whole theory of government, manipulated through the requisite number of legislatures with the people standing by helpless to prevent it. The issue is too great for us to take any chances with the propagandas which today are seeking to undermine the Constitution. The modern propagandist has just commenced to work. He is tireless always, he has an organization and that organization is very often generously supplied with funds; it has facilities for widespread publicity; often its leadership is adroit and skilled politically. The pressure of organized propaganda upon legislative bodies is terrific, well-nigh compelling. I can say that advisedly because I have seen and experienced it during fourteen years of legislative service. If in the future organized propaganda succeeds in amending the Constitution, that amendment, though it is wretchedly bad, is there to stay. To perfect it, to change it or to repeal it will require, under the present practice, the affirmative action of two-thirds of each house of congress and thirty-six legislatures. I doubt if you can amend or repeal an amendment, once it is adopted. It is practically impossible. Nothing in the Science of Today Incompatible With Truly Religious Faith By JAMES BISSETT PRATT, in Yale Review. The younger generation have already launched upon their course, and we older ones can do little for them now. They must work out their own salvation with diligence. That Christendom will ever return to the old creeds and to the old attitude to the letter of Scripture is out of the question—our fundamentalist friends may as well make up their minds to that once for all. New forms of faith, new attitudes toward the Determiner of Destiny must be worked out, must grow by a continuous process out of the old. And I do not think these new forms will be the work of any one or two or three religious geniuses. The days of the founders of new religions and of great reformers of the old are probably over. The social group as a whole must feel its way together and work out its new solutions. The task must be performed collectively. This, of course, will be done under the guidance of its leaders; but these leaders will be many and will work in collaboration with one another. It follows that Christendom will very likely never again have the unity of belief that once it had. But this independence and divergence of individual thinking need not prevent a very real religious unity. The new faiths thus achieved must be in harmony with science; though, if they are to contribute much to the life of the spirit, they can hardly be in servile subjection to a naturalistic philosophy. But there is nothing in the science of today—and not likely will there be anything in the science of tomorrow—incompatible with a truly religious faith, nor with a reverent attitude toward an intimate use of the great Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The Prussians are the only people who have ever really hardened their hearts to God and man, with fear only as their code of authority. It was not the poor square-headed old Germans, but the Prussian system. If that had come out victor, the result would have been nightmare. The only thing that can be said is that it would have been so bad it could not have lasted long. Bolshevism is mere schoolboy skylarking compared with what that would have been. It was a good feature of the war that America was introduced to Europe. But I doubt if the introduction was very complete. America is too great a thing to be understood by Europe yet. It is difficult to say how far the war did affect the understanding. I have heard many people in England complain that the Americans were inclined to brag that they had won the war, but my experience is that the danger rather lies in their sniveling and saying that there never should have been any war. Having an enormous peaceable population, without frontiers and not threatened, like Europeans, with drastic divisions of territory that affect their entire existence, America does not understand the emotion of frontier. SECRETARY WEEKS SAYS THEY MAY WRITE AND TALK ON PROFESSIONAL SUBJECTS. HIS REPLY TO THE PACIFISTS Hits at Organizations That, Being Really the Foes of National Preparedness, He Considers Menace to the Country's Welfare. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Various organizations with memberships composed of persons of various kinds of endeavor have petitioned Secretary of War Weeks to issue an order preventing army officers from saying or writing anything in behalf of national defense. The secretary has made answer to the effect that the activities of certain kinds of organizations in the United States are a menace to the welfare of the country, and that army officers cannot be prohibited from doing their duty by talking and writing upon professional subjects, a duty to which they are bound by their oath of allegiance to the republic. It is doubtful if the public generally realizes all that is being done in Washington by the representatives of various groups to prevent the armed services of the country from functioning properly in the field in which they are directed by specific acts of congress to conduct their operations. The organizations which are most active in trying to prevent the peace-time functioning of the army and navy are naturally those which call themselves anti-war groups, but their propaganda matter, which comes through the mails every day, shows that they are really anti-preparedness groups. They are not only trying to prevent any activities of the United States under the national defense act but are opposed to having the army and navy officers declare themselves as to the necessity of strengthening this branch and that branch of either service. There are several organizations represented in Washington which, while also against war, stand strongly opposed to the efforts of these other organizations which are trying to secure the country's total disarmament without any regard to what may be happening elsewhere in the world, or apparently without any regard to the lessons of the past. Pacifists Are Most Militant. Now, curiously enough, the organized groups which believe in sane preparedness and that the army and navy should continue its peace-time functions are nothing like so militant in their endeavors as are the groups whose endevor is against everything which savors of militancy. Because of this condition the anti-war, anti-preparedness bodies are writing and speaking fifty words to every one that is written or spoken by the organizations which stand in opposition to their campaign. One effort has been to prevent the War department from carrying through on anything like an adequate scale its plans for summer camps at which the officers and men of the reserve corps are to be given opportunity to get two weeks' outing, and the chance to brush up a little on the lessons which they learned in the war, but which since then they may partly have forgotten. Congress appropriated money for these camps and the secretary of war directed, as was his duty, that within the limits of the appropriations the camps should meet all the requirements in the case. Before congress sanctioned the appropriations the various organizations which desire that the United States shall totally disarm itself, and be unprepared to repel any invader if he shall come, tried to induce senators and representatives to negative the camp appropriation which was requested. Falling in this effort, they turned their attention to the activities of the War department, which was acting under the law, and turned then also to the people of the country who have been told in voluminous articles that the camps are intended to rouse a spirit of militarism in the United States and indirectly to produce war. Gas Service Especially Attacked. The chemical warfare service or, as it is briefly called, the gas service, has been a chief target of attack by the members of a dozen organizations ever since congress authorized the continuance of that branch of the service with Brig. Gen. Amos A. Fries as its chief. For some reason or other gas more than high explosives, more than submarines, more than airplanes, and more than any other implement or material of warfare, has claimed the attention of the organizations which, in brief, want the army and navy abolished. Perhaps the most outspoken officer in defense of this particular service has been the chief of the chemical warfare service, General Fries. Nothing that he has written shows that he is an advocate of the use of gas in warfare for offensive purposes, but virtually everything he has said and written has been in behalf of the necessity of being prepared to use gas in case an enemy should break faith and bring the stuff into service. One thing today is seemingly fixed in the determination of the secretary of war—the army and navy officers are to be allowed to present their views on professional subjects. Watching Johnson and Moses. Every Republican and every Democrat in Washington, and the active politicians particularly, are showing interest today in the cabled details concerning the European pilgrimage of Senator Johnson of California and Senator Moses of New Hampshire. It might be said that the Republicans are anxiously interested, while the Democrats are hoping that for their part they may become jubilantly interested as the results of the journeyings of the two senators become known. Why the interest? The answer is easy. President Harding, it is understood, expects to lay before the country in his forthcoming speechmaking journey his reasons for believing it will be a good thing for the United States to have official representation in the International Court of Justice. It is known, of course, already that Senator Johnson and Senator Moses are opposed to such American membership in the court. The administration forces have been hoping that the opponents of the court plan could be won over before the senate takes up the question next winter, and they have been hoping also that the European trip might convert the two senators to the President's plan. The Democrats' interest, of course, may be looked upon as selfish, but naturally they will say that it is a constructive selfishness. Seemingly a majority of the Democrats in the senate are in favor of the world court membership plan, but the party as a party probably will not be sorry to see the party of the administration divided on this matter on the eve of a presidential election. Hope for Full Party Approval. There is a seeming belief in Washington that the senate next winter will approve of the presidential proposition but the strong desire of the Republicans is to have it approved by the full Republican membership of the senate, and thus avoid the necessity of making the approval dependent on Democratic votes, although, of course, Democratic votes to add to the votes of all the Republicans would be welcome. There was a half belief in the ranks of the Republicans here, some of them connected with the work of campaign directing, that Senator Johnson might find while abroad something to give him a reason for resisting his initial impulse to combat the membership proposal. There are other Republicans here who fear and seemingly believe that the California senator will come back more strongly opposed than ever to the plan for entrance into the court, and that his strength of purpose may have as a companion the strength of purpose of Senator Moses. One of the best informed of the European correspondents, a man who knows the two traveling senators personally and intimately, states it is his belief that the Californian is increasing his store of ammunition with new arguments against entrance into the world court. Republicans here say it is possible, perhaps probable, that this foreign correspondent has failed to interpret rightly the senator's words and actions. It will take some little time yet for the truth in the case to develop, but the general feeling in Washington seems to be that Mr. Johnson will not be diverted from his course of opposition by anything which he is likely to learn in Europe. Johnson Might Be Candidate. In every column that has been written from Washington or from the places which President Harding has been visiting, there has been the flat statement that the President intends to plead strongly for International court membership on his speaking trip through the country. Now political gossip has it that if the response to the President's pleas is not what the Republicans believe it will be, Senator Johnson may feel that he will be justified from the public point of view in entering the field as a candidate for the Republican nomination in opposition to President Harding. Republican thought in the case prior to this time had it that there would be only one candidate against President Harding for the nomination—Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. The Republicans again are considering the possibility that the California senator may be a candidate upon a platform which declares against everything which even by indirection appears to be an approach to a mixing in the affairs of Europe. It must be said, however, in spite of all the gossip, the guessing, and even the reasoning in the case, that the majority of Republican opinion here is that Senator Johnson will stay out of the nomination contest.
