LET THE* CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAV." A. Who will celebrate bis Seventh Anniversary as pastor of Unity Baptist Church, Brookport, Ill., March 6, to 12, '22 Colored Political Leaders Have Been Turned Down And Inactives Given The Few Places Dished Out. Administration Listening To The "Still Small Voice" Of White Leaders Rather Than Negro Party Men. (Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.—President Harding has had another "rude awakening." The President has expressed himself as amazed at the avalanche of unfavorable comment that has fallen down the "valley of the shadow" of political death concerning the appointment of A. G. Free for the position of Recorder of Deeds. One of the leaders in political activities made this statement to the Associated Negro Press: "We have nothing against Mr. Freo personally. He may be a man of the highest integrity; but no one knows him. The Recorder of Deeds and the Register of the Treasury are two outstanding positions that we have used heretofore, in calling men of national reputation. The President has denied us the Register, which I think, politically is most unfortunate. As to recorder I am certain the President would not pick an unknown citizen no matter how worthy, to be Secretary of State, Ambassador to England or France." The upshot of the whole situation, according to political observation, strife in the capital, it looks as the the administration, although being a strong advocate of party organization and leadership has decided to listen to the "still small voice" of white leaders rather than Colored leaders even in so far as Negro appointments are concerned. Look at this: Free got his appointment thru Senator Elkins of West Virginia. The Associated Negro Press was the first to learn of this officially in the group. Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, owes his political good fortune to the late Tobe Hert, of Kentucky who was National Committeeeman; Lient. Flipper, in the Interior Department, was appointed, without consultation, by Secretary of the Interior Fall; Solomon P. Hood, owes his success as Minister to Lbieria to Senator Nutter, the acknowledged political leader of New Jersey, was not enthusiastic about the Hood appointment. Dr. W. S. Scarborough, while friendly to the present leadership may be assigned to the credit of Senator Willis of Ohio, and President Harding personally, Charles Cottrill, high exponent of President Harding's virtues at the Chicago convention, and former Collector of Internal Revenue in the port at Honolulu, was sacrificed on the alter of despair by the measured favor accorded the Greek Text book author and former president of Wilbeforce University. Consternation and Dismay There is consternation and dismay amongst the men who handled organization work during the campaign of 1920. It resolves itself to these issues: Either they must re-intrench or their political power is gone. Those who wish political favors will not seek them out, but go straight to their Senators. "This is Subscribe for he Gazette JOB SEEKERS IN DISMAY WASHINGTON not playing the game according to Hoyle," they aver. It is most embarrassing to the program of strategy outlined in executive conference following the inaugmentation last March, and borders on a "Cause for Revolution." It is a bad outlook, with the congressional elections starring the people in the face. Charles Anderson, of New York whom everyone desired to see Collector in the big metropolis, both black and white, has been almost forgotten; Galchrist Stewart, who was willing to go to Haiti, as minister, is suffering with high blood pressure; George Wibecan, who is not generally regarded as a fool, by any means, has mustered up courage and rushed in "where angles fear to tread," and has announced himself for United State Marshal, in the second district thus adding to the sea of troubles through which Senator Calder, up for re-election, is now roughly sailing. Clarence Matthews of Boston, whom the corterie endorse, when it was known definitely Col. Johnson could not land for Recorder, feels worse than a whipped child in school and declares that he shall henceforth be regarded as a "disappointed office seeker" while he only consented to usis name "for the good of the cause." There must be a change of administration attitude in recognizing sun-kissed leadership, or else, how can these same men face the Colored voter next fall and ask for political support? "If the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?" SAYS NEGROES SHOULD BECOME A HARD RACE (Associated Negro Press.) HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 22.—That Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong's ideal for Negroes was the kind of education which would enable Colored men and women to live successfully in the same world of mind and spirit that the white man inherits was the opinion expressed by Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbot, daughter of Gen. Armstrong in a recent address on "Armstrong and His Ideals" delivered here. Among other things, Mrs. Talbot declared that the white man's world is ruled by mind, not by feelings and emotions, and that the people who allowed themselves to be governed by their feelings can never succeed in it. "Negroes should become a hard race—not hard like a rock, but hard like the sugar-maple tree, which is wounded every year and loses its life blood, but heals its wound overnight and is too busy growing to dwell on them. "Certain kinds of education help a man to gain the rule of mind over feeling. Industrial and technical education, artistic and business training, which require both practical application and abstract knowledge, help most. Classical education enlarges the scope of action of the man who has learned how to rule himself with his own mind, but does not help him gain such rule." Two Negroes Ground to Death Accidentally Poplar Bluff, Mo., January, 22. Henry Thomas and Frank Curry, negroes, were accidently ground to death beneath the wheels of a saw carriage in the Galloway Peace Lumber mill here Saturday, according to an announcement of a Coroner's jury here today. The negroes were scuffling and bumped into the release lever of the saw carriage, which killed them witnesses said. Pay Your Subscriptions UNDERTAKING A SPECIALTY NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

DEMOGRATS AND MOB VIOLENGE The Post Dispatch has a fit over the dangers confronting the "sovereign states" because of "the Dyer anti-lynching bill." "It is a proposal," shrikes the Post-Dispatch, "to subject any county in which a lynching occurs and any county through which the victim is transported, to a forfeiture of $10,000." It seems not to have occurred to the appoletic Post-Dispatch that any county can be wholly free of danger of such a penalty by not permitting mob murders within its boundaries. Only a few sections of the country are marked by frequent lynchings. These permit the law to be flaunted and only sharp penalizing of their course will cause regard for law to succeed the rule of passion. Common sense is necessary in considering a plan for removing the stain of lynchings from the name of this country. The Post-Dispatch disregards common sense and truth in its outburst. Its course typifies the wild passion which invokes mob rule, but demonstrations of that sort are not wise as efforts at proving anti-lynching legislation is unnecessary. So long as officers may with safety and popularity release prisoners to mobs to be hanged or burned without being given their constitutional right to a trial by jury, and so long as lynchers suffer no greater hazard than the mummery of an inquiry by a grand jury, often composed of members of the mob, with a finding of homicide at "the hands of a person or persons unknown," that long will lynch flourish. It is regrettable that the states and counties have been generally so negligent that federal enforcement of the constitutional guarantees seems necessary. Even under the Dyer bill, there is no provision for federal relief where state law is adequate and is vigorously enforced.—St. Louis Times. Law Breaks Down Before a Mob. Ellaville, Ga., Feb. 21.—Will Jones a colored man, was lynched near here last Monday after he had been suspected of shooting two white farmers the night before. He was tound with his body ridded with bullets. TENNESSEE WHITE WOMEN TO FIGHT MOB VIOLENCE NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 22. Declaring that "unless lawlessness and mob violence can be checked, the very foundation of our civilization is threatened," a large company of representative Tennessee women, white, from all sections of the state, in session at McKendree church here, pledged themselves to cultivate a Christian attitude with regard to inter-racial questions and organized the woman's section of the Tennessee Inter-Racial Committee. The meeting which was called by Mrs. Luke G. Johnson of Atlanta, representing the Southern Commission was attended by about seventy-five women prominent in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the south. Mrs. Johnson presided and addresses were made by Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Bishop Troy Beatty of Tennessee, Mrs. R. R. Moton of Tuskogee, Ala., Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Southern College, Prof. L. M. Faverot of Louisiana and Prof. S. L. Smith of Nashville. Dr. Alexander who is the Executive Secretary of the Inter-Racial Commission outlined its genesis and purpose and made a strong appeal for the application of Christian principles in inter-racial relations, instead of leaving the whole question alone, or seeking to solve it by force. Mrs. Moton, the wife of Major R. R. Moton, who succeeded Booker T. Washington as head of Tuskegee Institute, made a brief talk, dignified and in fine spirit, expressing confidence in the friendship and co-operation of the white race and pleading for the sympathy and help of the white women of the south in the development of better Negro homes and schools. Among the declarations of the meeting were these: We appreciate the chivalry of white men, but deplore the fact that a Colored man must suffer violence in seeking the protection of the women of their race. We therefore pledge ourselves to cultivate the Christian attitude of mind in every day contact by discouraging the use of these terms both in conversation and in the press that arouse resentment and convey a sense of inferiority or contempt; by using our influence against ridicness on the part of all public officials, and employees of public utilities; by standing for justice and opportunity and the fullest possible development to which every individual of the race can attain. Not even is her certain proof of identity in most lynching cases. This works the double injury of murdering the innocent and letting the offender go unhunted.

Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Colored Student Leads Mixed Class Of 300 In All Classes For 4 Years. Wins Scholarship. At Columbia U. And Aspires to Rhodes Schol- arship at Oxford Colle- lege, England. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Counsege P. Cullen, 18 year old son of Rev. F. A. Cullen of Salem M. E. Church here, has won a scholarship to Columbia University by winning pren- cidentally every honor of his class at DeWitt Clinton High school. The class of which young Cullen was a member numbered three hundred, he and two others being the only Col- ored members. Countie Cullen made an average of 93 per cent through the whole of his 4 years high school course graduated as valedictorian and won the Douglas Fairbanks oratory contest with his original poem "I Have a Rendezvous With Life." His Caleditory address was in the poem of fifty-seven lines, "Any Senior to his Friend," which was agreed with tumultuous applause by the large audience which filled DeWitt Clinton auditorium on graduation day. admission on graduation day. New York and Columbia Universities offered, the brilliant young colored man scholarships because of his wonderful high school record but it appeared that Columbia was the first one with the offer. Young Cullen has ambitions leading to a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford College, England, and it is quite probable that he will succeed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23. The Senate has moved into action on the Dyer Bill. The judiciary committee, which, after investigation, will render a report. Senator Wm. Borah of Idaho, is chairman of the committee, and the other members are Wm. P. Dillingham, Leharon B. Colt, Rhode Island; Lee S. Overman, N. Carolina, and John K. Shields, Tennessee. Every church, club, lodge or organization of every description as well as every individual is urged to write each of these Senators at once, addressing him at Washington, D. C as well as the Senator from their home states urging favorable action upon the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The House has passed the measure which spells the death of lynching. It had active supporters there. The Senate is dangerous ground and leaders here are certaint that only a concerted effort which will make the Senators realize that every one Subscribe For Gazette Now of ten million negroes are watching their action, will cause the papssage of the bill. This is the big opportunity to show the power of public opinion among our group. There is influential opposition to the bill. The South is solid against it and such important organs as the New York World and Chicago Tribune have carried editorials doubting its efficiency and constitutionality. Race leaders, however, counsel every liberty-loving negro to do his part. JUSTIGE HAS FLED A Colored Boy Gets Ten Years For Stealing Bread. New York, N. Y. Feb. 22-10 years in Sing Sing prison for stealing 50 cents worth of bread was the sentence meted out by County Judge Hackel to William Burke an 18 year old Colored boy. Ex. The Judge was certainly angry because, the Negro stole so little. If the Negroes just must steal he should steal like the white man, steal enough so as not to disgrace the profession. The professionals steals thousands and then some and they go scott free, and often take life and they fare better by some Judges than Burke did for stealing the bread. Jusctice has surely fled from that court. Storm Kills Negro Boy. Enterprise, Ala., Feb. 22. Sam Jones, a Negro boy, was killed, several white persons and five Negroes injured in a storm which destroyed 41 houses here. The storm resembling a tornado, came from the southwest and swept a suburb of this town, d2maging everything in its wake for a width of 300 feet. Arthur G. Froe Appointed Recorder of Deeds Washington, Feb. 21.—Arthur G. Froe of Welcah, W. Va. was confined Wednesday as Recorder for the District of Columbia. Mr. Free had the support of the entire West Virginia Congressional delegation and the personal backing of Senator Elkins. There was little difficulty in confirming him. It was reported that Mr. Froe was ambitious to be Assistant District Attorney in West Virginia, but that through the suggestion of Attorney General Daugherty he was persuaded to accept the Recordership for which position Henry Lincoln Johnson had been turned down. Mr. Froe is an able and brilliant attorney and will undoubtedly fill the office with credit to himself and the race. Mr Chas E. Mithell, the prominent banker of Charleston, was also a candidate for Recorder. He is understood to have refused a medicore job in the agricultural department which was offered him.

Because things were different we foster the de- lusion that everything was better.

Madeira’s experience with the first model he bought, a replica of the American eipper ship Southern Cross, was an_ interesting ‘one, according to the New York Sun. ‘This miniature ship, 30 Inches long, the coal operator obtained | recently through an agent at Nantucket. who considered the purchaser lucky in getting @ genuine model at a reason- able figure, ‘The model, with all masts and other spars in place and) with rigging, blocks, boats, ete, as they should be, was a handsome pleture when it was packed for shipment at Nantucket. But when the fragie niodel reached Madeira's home it came out of the packing case nearly wrecked. It had heen pourly packed and roughly han- ded on the trip.” Madeira looked at the mass of broken spars and wreckage and said things about the packer and also the agent at Nantucket. He fig- ured the model little better than matehwood und that it never could be repelred. He reckoned, however, without the United States navy. He happened to tell his troubles to a naval officer sta- tioned at League fsland and soon afterward the officer rang the coal magnate up and sald he thought he had 2 man who could repair the wreck, GET LINE ON HIS CHARACTER New Fad Among the Girls Is to Have Man Friend's Handwriting Read by Grapholegiat. ‘The lotest Car of the girls is to huve the bandwriting of their favorite man friend read by a graphologist.
