Harding, Republican candidate for president, Hon. Nate Kendall was introduced by Chairman Rawson as the next governor of Iowa who in turn introduced Senator Cummins, Mr. Cummins in a few words made a touching introduction of Mr. Harding. The nominee had his audience with him from the beginning and demonstrated beyond a doubt that he was of presidential caller. The senator was scheduled to reply WARREN. G. HARDING EDMONTON to President Wilson's recent letter on the League of Nations. He said in no uncertain words that he was opposed to the present covenant proposal by President Wilson or any other document which surrendered American rights or left any of its rights uncertain. Senator Harding said Wilson had scrapped his own League of Nations, that he realized the difficult circumstances surrounding him after his election, and that in order to bring about some amicable means of instituting an association of nations he would surround himself with the best brains of the nation. Such questions as "What about the Irish," "Will America be forced to send its abroad should the league be accepted as presented by Wilson?" were suggested all of which he answered in a clear and accurate manner that was pleasing to the audience. The senator urged the re-election of Senator Cummins because he was one of the most useful men in public life today. The meeting was a huge success and undoubtedly demonstrated that Harding would carry Iowa by a safe majority. The senator left at noon for Omaha. The high cost of living still continues to hold a place in big headlines as well as in the news and editorial columns of the daily papers. The Literary Diget "Topics of the Day" is showing on the motion picture screen numerous well-worded editorial comments on this phase of our living, selected from the press of the world. We believe the following paragraphs "hit the nail on the head:" More old fashioned American sweat will mean less Bolshevism and an early funeral for Mr. High Cost of Living—Baltimore American. Some of the cost tags are still ashamed to look an honest consumer in the face—Toledo Blade. Wanted: Something that will sharpen American wits so they will cut the cost of living—Minneapolis Tribune.

McGowen of Water Valley is the chancelor. The case that is attracting most attention is that of the Bille Tim Smith, a wealthy bachelor of this county. Smith in his Democratic Mis- rule in Haiti James WeldonJohn's investigation in Haiti shows that Vice President Candidate Roosevelt spoke the truth in mountains when he said that he wrote the constitution of Haiti and held its League of Nations vote in his pocket. The following report is taken from the Cleveland, (Ohio) Advocate Editor's note: New York City, Sept. 30.—About five years during which the invasion of the island of Haiti by United States marines was shrouded in secrecy, silence has been broken by James Weldon Johnson, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who was sent to Haiti by the president to investigate Mr. Johnson's charges have been reiterated by Senator Warren G. Harding in his campaign for the presidency and the state department has had to reply to numerous editorial attacks made by newspapers to which the N. A. A. C. P. investigation supplied facts. In brief, Mr. Johnson's indictment of the Wilson administration's course in Haiti recites: 1. That the island of Haiti was seized by United States marines and that in five years some 3,000 natives were shot. 2. That the Haitian assembly was dispersed by force at the order of an American officer of marines and that the Haitian republic has been virtually overthrown. 3. That a convention was forced by the United States upon the Haitian government changing the constitution of Haiti, so that Americans could purchase and own land there. 4. That the invasion of Haiti and the conduct of Haitian affairs had been unduly benevolent to the National City Bank of New York, whose vice president, Roger L. Farnham, had represented the state department in Haiti. 5. That the salaries of the president and vice president withheld because the Haitian government refused to turn over the National bank of Haiti to the National City bank, alleging that an agreement previously made had been tampered with. general statements announcing that General Lejeune, commandant of the marines, and Admiral Knapp had been sent to investigate. He also insisted the intentions of the United States in Haiti had been "benevolent." Mr. Johnson thereupon replied asking for a congressional investigation of affairs in Haiti and charging that the investigations by General Lejeune and Admiral Knapp would probably result in an official whitewash. Latest advices to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indicate that a congressional investigation will be held as a consequence of Mr. Johnson's charges.

American Legion Convention at Clevl'd In Session Assembled at Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 27, 28, 1920, September 27, 1920. The annual session of the American Legion opened at Keith's hippodrome, Euclid avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, September 27, with a representation of more than four thousand delegates. The sessions were arranged in program for each day's work as follows: September 27, 1920, reports of National Commander D'Olter, National Adjutant Bolles, National Finance Officer, National Chairman of Post Welfare Work, and the National Committee on By-laws and constitution. Due to composition of proposed amendments to constitution as regards policies and politics, the same tabled to be resumed later. September 28, 1920. Continuation of report of National Committee on By-laws and constitution. In the proposed amendment, there was considerable heated debate on that part of the constitution which promulgated the "Policies, Not Politics," seemingly it was the intent of Past Commander Lindsey and other of his staunch supporters so as to stimulate the idea of infusing politics. This in its entirety was defeated. The afternoon session was devoted to introduction of distinguished visitors, who made inspiraling talks. These distinguished guests were: General Ward of the Justice; Admiral Grant of the Royal British navy; General Ferrari of the French army; General Commander of G 1910 JOHN H. HARRIS M. B. REV. W. E.

To the Editor of the Bystander, Sir: Your news item in last week's Bystander under the caption, "Negroes Must Stop Trading at Grund's" was timely and to the point. Not only should Negroes cease trading at Grund's, but they should rapidly build up different business enterprises and industries of their own as has been done and is being undertaken of the east and south. In so doing he would have no excuse to trade with the other fellow. Grund, the Jew, is no different from any other Jew or business white man, who locates in a colored district. They have no interest in the race save what money they can extract from their pockets. Negro public sentiment ought to forbid white people from succeeding in business in Negro district, and when he permit them to succeed in our neighborhoods, and permit race enterprises of a similar nature in the same neighborhood to die from the lack of support we are exhibiting a pititable lack of race consciousness. Negroes should view it as a religious duty to support their own in every legitimate enterprise; in so doing they must bring them into the hands upon which lasting and enduring superstructure can be built. And the converse is equally true of Negro business men and women, they should make it a point to so conduct their business that criticism would be reduced to a minimum. Samuel Barrett, D. C. arrett, D. C. September 28. 1920 Mrs. Laurence C.
