METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. GIVE NEGRO A FAIR CHANCE HARDING ASKS Pesident at Birmingham Pleads Social Equality Be Forgotton Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 26—President Harding pleaded for harmony between white and black with the question of social equality forgotten be both in a speech today at the city's semi-centennial celebration. He urged absolute equality for for both races in education, business and politics, particularly in education. The President and his party ar 9 30 a.m. and were given tremendous ovation by a large crowd. Twenty one guns boon el salute as he stepped from the train. Accompanying the President were Mrs. Harding, Senator Oscar Underwood, Secretry of Wr Weeks, Secretary of the Interior Fall and the President's aids. 67 Gi is on Committee The flower of Alabama beauty greeted the party, with sixty-seven girls representing the sixty-seven counties of the state drawn up as a reception committee. After his reception the President was driven to the Tuwller hotel for a few minutes' rest before taking his place in a civic parade. The President moved with the parade until it reached the Southern Club, where he took his place in the reviewing stand. "Men of both race may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. It would be helpful to have that word 'equally' elicited; or have it accepted on both sides that this is a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we recognize this difference. Take first the political aspect, I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote, prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. Appeal to Negro. Especially would I appeal the self-respect of the colored race to improve its if as a distinct race, with a hered ty, a set of traditions an array of aspirations all his own. Out of such racial ambition and pride will come natural segregations, without narrowing any rights, satisfying natural inclination, and adding notably to happiness and contentment. "I would insist upon equal educational opportunity for both. This does not mean that become equally educated. "Men of the same race do not accomplish such an equality as that Mey never will. "The Providence that endowed men widely unequal capacities and capabilities and energies did not intend any such thing. But there must be such education that the colored people will understand and sympathize with the differentiation between the races and develop leaders who will inspire race pride national pride, and participation in the universal effort for advancement of humanity as a whole. Racial amalgamation there cannot be Partnership the of races, in developing the highest ai as of humanity, there must be if humanity is to achieve the ends set for it. "I can say to you people of the South, both white and black, that the time has passed when you can assume this problem is your problem. "More and more it is becoming a problem of the North; and more more it is the problem of Africa, of South America, of the Pacific, of the South Seas, of the world. "It is the problem of democracy everywhere, if we mean the things we say about democracy. "Coming from many origins of race, tradition, language, color, institutions and heredity and engaged in the huge effort to work an honorable national destiny from so many different elements, the one thing we must sedulously avoid is group and class organizations in this county. Frowns on Class "We have heard too much about the labor vote, the business vote, the Irish vote, the Italian vote, Scandinavian vote and so on, "But demagogues who would array class against class have fortunately found little to reward their efforts. That is because the idea of our oneness as Americans has risen superior to every appeal to mere class and group. "And so I wish it might be in this matter of our national problem of races. "I would accept that a black man cannot be a white man, and that he does not need to be like a white man to accomplish the best in him. "He should seek to, and should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man, and not the best possible imitation of a white man. "It is a matter of keenest national concern that the South shall not make its colored population a vast reservoir of ignorance, to be drained away by migration into all other sections. "That has been going on in recent years at a rate so accentuated that it has caused this question of races to be no longer one of a particular section. "I do not wish the South and to be politically of one party, I believe that it is bad for the South and for the rest of the country as well. I do not want the colored people to entirely of one party. "I wish that both the tradition of of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up "Neither political sectionalism, nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. "I want to see the time come when black men will regard themselves as full participants in the benefits and duties of American citizenship; when they will vote for Democratic candidates. If they prefer the Democratic policy on tariff or taxation, or foreign relations, or what not; and when they will vote the Republican ticket only for like reasons. "We cannot go on, as have for more than a half century, with section of our population numbering as many people as the entire tire population of some significant countries of Europe, set off from real contribution to the solving of national issues, because of a dison race lines.

To the members composing the Executive Board of the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention.

Olive Baptist Association of Southern Illinois The Way We See It The address of President Haring, delivered on Oct. 29, at Birmingham, Ala., and ranks as a masterpiece of logic and sound advice. It was a clear cut address made of whole cloth and a yard wide. He spoke from the fullness of his heart, without mincing or juggling with words or meaningless sentences or playing to the galleries on the Race question. His words were so timely and filled with bristles as to cause a number of Southern Senators to put up the cry of Negro domination and what not. He clearly defined his position his position on the Race question and it was the most manly stand taken by any president since the days of President Grant, to our way of thinking. Every Negro should read the address carefully and preve it f r fu ure reference, because it is worth its weight in gold and should be kept for the perusal of unborn generations. The Negroes need to take fresh courage and endeavor to bring out the very best that is in them. President Harding, is the only Baptist ever elected to the presidential chair and we have a reason to feel proud of him. Let the Statesmen, the Governor the politicians get busy in helping to carry out urgent request of President Harding.

Springfield, Ill., Oct. 31.-More t an 1801 miles of road paving have been awarded since Illinois began its program of highway construction, according to figures just made available by highway officials. Of this, 1539 miles, or 82 per cent of the mileage under contract have been completed. The mileage awarded under Gov. Small was 435. Nearly all the federal and state aid highways under contract have been completed, according to the report. Completed federal aid roads amount to 618 miles, while the finished mileage built by state aid is 403 miles. In addition to these roads are 450 miles of high way built by counties. Until recently Illinois has devoted its road-building to the construction of federal and state aid roads. Only sixty-seven miles of the bond issue system have been completed, al though nearly 350 miles are under contract. The state has exhausted all federal funds appropriated for road building in Illinois. The state aid system has been dropped. Gov. Small's future road-building program calls for work on the bond-issue routes, which cover 4800 miles. Metropolis Gazetie PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY | THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO. METROPOLIS, - - ih. MRE.M.

Attorney General Brundage no doubt thought if he could put Gov. Small. out of the running that he would have a clear sail to the governor's chair. But “believe me, he will not have a look in.” Gov. Small, holds the key to the situation. Senator w. A. Spence, will be acandidate to succeed himselm ‘in the Slst Senatorial district. There is some talk of several aspirants for his Senatorial toga, from the imformation we now have Hon: (Corn Bread) Elwood Barker, of McLeansboro, says that he would like to have the honor of defeating the Senator, but we predict that it will be harder this .time to defeat the Senator than it was four years ago wher Senator Spence defeat- ed Mr. Barker in every county in {the district except his own and came in an ace of defeating him in his own county- The people of the 5ist’ district have tried Senator Spence, out and he was not found’ wanting. He was a busy man, always at his post, working not only for his own district but unselfishly for the good. of.,the entire State. He championed thegeause of Ed- ucation and secured splendid re- sults in the way of legislation for for the teachers and poor school districts of Southern Illi- nois. Senator Spence, ranked as one of" the ‘leading Senators and was styled an honest and conscientious member {of the law making body, and every one had the highest-respect for him and his stand on. every proprosi- sition that he championed.. No doubt he will succeed himself without any opposition as he de- serves to do, as it usually requir- es from’ two to three terms to become acquainted with the re- quirements ‘of district and how to secure sound legislation.

It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little coughnesses, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and glum. The happy girl makes the happy and contented wife, who will bring her girlhood's endearing qualities to make fresh sunshine in her new home.—Home Notes. A Crime Self-Punished.

Notice Sisters, and I must say Brethren of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Family. As-State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God it's spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year, for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Martha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

Money Long in Use Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterised by a sort of dry mist or hardiness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so.
