Col. Bryan was then Secretary of State, and has since received his walking papers after differences with the President upon other matters, but the policy he inaugurated in the treatment of darker races was so fully accorded with the Democratic ideals, that none of his successors has seen fit to change it in the slightest degree. Poor, struggling, debt-ridden Halti would afford a few skimpy clothes to one Democratic office holding class to fatten on, so the great Democratic party pounced on her like a buzard on a sick chicken, to satisfy its greed. The Democratic party disagreed with Colonel Bryan on some matters, but the administration was one with him when he suggested that the slender income of the custom house at Port au Prince be parcelled out among deserving democrats.* Grabbing the Crumbs of Lazarus It would be hard to find inhistory a parallel of the administration's exploitation of Haiti's discomfiture. The story is kept fresh in the minds of the public because it is being enacted at present. Haiti was represented as owing to certain European and New York bankers sums of money that were overdue, and the administration constituted itself as a constable to collect these dues, by forcibly taking over the customs machinery of the Negro Republic and disbursing the receipts to the creditors. Instead of THE DIFFERENCE By The Negro Associated Press These positions in the United States Government were given to the colord people by the Republican party and taken from them by the Democratic party: Minister to Haiti ..... $10,000 Assistant Attorney General ..... 5,000 Collector Customs, D.

The story of the Democratic administration of the affairs in Haiti is one of greed and intolerance. Native clerks were displaced by deserving Democrats, and all "deserving" Democrats, according to the Democratic curriculum, are white. The few Haitians employees that were retained were held only for the drudgery, and there exists a difference of 60 per cent between the compensation of a native employee in the custom house of his own country and that of a Democratic employee, alien and unauthorized, who had been sent down there to fill his pockets. As a Democratic idea of the self-determination of peoples this is a powerful illustration. Even the poverty of a poor, Nero Republic is not immune in providing places for "deserving Democrats." Engendered Race Hatred Under Republican administration a fine friendly feeling has always obtained between Haiti and the United States. It had been the rule of Republican Presidents, never once violated, to send a representative colored American to represent this government, and by this means every amicable end was served. The United States enjoyed the commercial profits of trade and Haiti fully appreciated having men of nativity similar to deal with. But in the Democratic zeal to provide for "deserving Demerata" this rule has been as constantly broken as it has been observed by the Republicans. are very hostile to the Turks. Many of these troops are Sengalese. They wear bright green uniforms and red fuzzes and their faces are decorated with scars across the cheeks and around the eyes, and although they are Moslems, they get on badly with the Turks, especially in the interior, where much of the feeling against the French is traceabye to the black troops. These Sengalese are imbued with the belief that they are used to carry civilization to the Turks. On The Nedro Associated Press Flushing, N.

Wichita, Kansas, Friday, Aug. 20, 1920 ANNUAL ADDRESS OF MODERATOR Delivered By Rev. J. C. Rogers, To S. W. District Association Dear Brethren and Sisters:— Dear Brotheren and Sisters: I bring to this body of Christian workers, this my eighth annual rereport to give an account of my stewardship as moderator, and the conditions of the work in the District. In August 1919, we held our annual meeting with the Second Baptist Church, Pratt, Kansas, we had a very successful and profitable session, we were entertained royally by the people of Pratt, and the Pastor, Rev. N. J. Stokes. We enjoyed this meeting, and left with good fellowship, and very much pleased and inspired to do more and better work for the Master and the advancement of His Kingdom. In October 1919, we vistied the State Convention that was held at Emporia, Kansas. I along with other representatives of this Association. We took part in the deliberations of the Convention and we played our part in the meeting as best we could. We had a great meeting and we were much inspired to do greater service for God and humanity. The slogan for the Kansas State Convention is:"Ten Thousand Dollars for Kansas this year." This District is asked to give Fifteen Hundred Dollars for the work, which I hope we will do, to carry on the work of Missions and Education. In November 1919, our first Board Meeting convened with the Second Baptist Church, Hutchinson, Kansas. We were well cared for by the Church and Pastor. We had a very good meeting, and a fair representation. The fellowship was good, we did very well financially. We were able to meet our obligations with the State Boards. We left this meeting very much inspired to put into operation, our budget plan. Our second Board Meeting convened at Winfield, Kansas, in Feb. 1920. The representation was fair, our entertainment was royal, the financial side was good, and we were able to meet our obligations to the State Boards. Here we took up the budget plan that we had talked over from time to time, and we put the plan into working order, yet it is a long ways from being perfect but it is much better than we have had heretofore for financing our work, so the outlook for a better system of financing our work is much better and brighter as I see it, and I know it is much better than it has been and I truly hope for good results from the plan we have adopted, and I hope we will carry them out for the good of our work and the extension of Christs Kingdom and to uplift fallen humanity. We were greatly inspired for better things for the future and with greater expectations for better things for the Master's cause and Kingdom. We left with fellowship one with another, and we felt we had a great meeting and the results that would follow would be grateful to all, as we had done what we thought was best for the work. Our second meeting convened with the Second Baptist Church, Great Bend, Kansas, May, 1920, here we had a great meeting, we were royally entertained by the Church and Pastor. Our representation was very good. Financially, we did very well, we were able to meet our obligations with the State Boards, of the different departments, while some of the Churches failed to represent; yet, everything was as good as might be expected. We left with good fellowship, and we were very much inspired to do more in the future than we had done in the past. At this meeting each one agreed to try to carry out the budget system, the plan that was agreed upon, or adopted at Winfield, Kansas, in February, 1920. Condition of Work in the District Churches as a whole are doing very well and the outlook for the future is much brighter. There are four Washington, D. C., Has Negro Policewoman Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.—Adelaide Childs, a colored woman of this city, has been appointed a police woman. She took the civil service examination for the place passed with a high percentage. Miss Childs is twenty-five years old and is a college graduate. She will be given work among the Colored population. Orcgon Felt the Power Of W. H. Lewis' Reasoning Portland, Ore., Aug. 20.—William H. Lewis, the noted Negro awyer of Boston, Mass., delivered a notable address at the Lincoln High School last Monday night. Among other things, Mr. Levy declared, "Colored men helped to make the world safe for Democracy in the recent war, and yet nowhere in this country is the Negro safe from mob violence. It appears that everywhere he is made to feel that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States are not for him." Churches in the District without Pastors. At Jetmore, First Baptist, at Larned, Ks., Sec., Baptist, at Hutchinson, Ks., Second Baptist, Tabernacle, Kansas, Second Baptist, Tabernacle, Wichita, Kansas. Our Missionary Pastors are doing all they can, and are doing well, considering the small salaries they are getting, and the high cost of living; but they need better salaries to enable them to do more efficient work and to be able to give more time to their fields of labor. I would urge upon the Churches in the District to pay their Pastors better salaries, if they wish efficient service, the Pastors should have some time to study the word of God, and other things pertaining to his work. The problem of leadership is one of the very grave questions of the day, and more so than they have been in the past. We have new problems to deal with each day in our work for the Master and for the uplift of fallen humanity. The ministers who expect to succeed must give a moral Godly life. He must be consecrated each day, he should be intellectually prepared, and above all, he must have a deep spiritual life. A man called of God to the work of the ministry. We have several new Ministers in the District that seem to be making good, and we gladly welcome them into our fellowship and our love and kindness, as fellow workers with Christ. Our District Missionary in the person of Rev. H. S. Jones, who has done a good work in the District this year, but he has been very greatly hindered in the work, by reason of the fact that a good part of our District is rural without public conveyances that he might reach the people that needed his services and the preaching of the Gospel of the Son of God, his salary has been too small and he has a large family to care for. The mission money is not enough to enable him to do what he could if he were better provided for with better salary. I would ask the District to try to provide a car for the Missionary that he might be able to do a more efficient work in the District another year, as new communities are coming and settling in the District all the time. We need to preach for them from time to time, if we fall somebody else will get them and our church will lose its opportunity to get the people who are rightfully ours, because they have come here from Baptist homes and Churches, this is a missionary age of the Church as never before, and I truly hope we will awake to the great opportunity that is ours, if we fall others will reap, and take the people. We have the right doctrines and faith of the Word of God, and the teaching as a whole is right, but it must be carried to the people. I hope we will have a greater vision of the mission of the Church to give the Gospel to all nations of the world. WELL-KNOWN NEGRO WOMAN,TELLS RACE HARDING MUST WIN Mrs. Marie Crawford Has Strong Commendation for Republican Position Is Distinguished Writer One of Foremost Colored Women of Nation Compares Harding to Abraham Lincoln New York, August 20. Speaking before the North-Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs, at Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, Thursday evening, August 5, Mrs. Marie A. Crawford, L. L. B., forcibly outlined the position of the colored people of the country in this political campaign and warmly praised Senator Harding for his outspoken utterances in behalf of justice to colored people. Mrs. Crawford is one of the foremost colored women of the nation graduate of a university as well as in law, and has distinction as a writer and speaker. She was designated by the Republican National Committee as its representative at the session of the New England Federation and commissioned by the committee to extend greetings. Her speech made a fine impression. Mrs. Crawford spoke as follows: Madame President, Members of the North-Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs: "I extend to you the greetings of the National Republican Committee in your work for self-betterment and I am instructed to say to you, in behalf of the Republican National Committee, that it is the earnest wish of the Committee that the present session of the North-Eastern Federation of Women's Clubs will be a continuance of the splendid work you have done in the past. With us, as a people, we are confronted with questions of graver cern than economic problems or even the all important Wilson League of Nations. This national campaign confronts us at this time when not only is our liberty denied in a large section of this Republic, but the lives of our people are without valuation in the consideration of the Southern Democracy. We, therefore, unlike other more fortunate American citizens, are not permitted to merely concern ourselves in such issues as finance and foreign affairs, for we are now compelled to face the most serious condition which is one involving the very fundamental principles of human liberty. That the great leadership of the Republican party is now conscious of this situation confronting the colored people of the nation there can be no doubt. The man of the hour is here as the man of the hour has always come. Not since Lincoln has colored Americans heard such a message as has come from Harding. In his acceptance speech of the nomination for President, at Marion, Ohio, July 22, 1920, this great leader of the Republican party, without exception, assumed the mantle of Lincoln. We as a people suffer keenly because the American Constitution is We have established a school in Topka, Kansas, in connection with the Industrial Institute for the Ministers of the state, that they might from time to time have an opportunity to get instruction in pastoral work, and better systems of Christian work in a general way that we might be better prepared to do more efficient work among the people along all lines. We had a very good session in June and we enjoyed it, and were much benefited by the instruction from the various teachers lona different lines and subjects taught about the work, beildes the social fellowship we enjoyed. Prof. Bridgeforth and his corps of teachers made it so very pleasant for us --- Price: 5c not upheld in its letter and in its spirit, and because the law is not enforced. Listen to these words of Senator Harding from his speech of acceptance, on this subject: "I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional President, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every committal is to orderly government. Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of Congress must harmonize with the constitution, else they soon are adjudged to be void; Congress enacts the laws, and the executive branch of the government is charged with enforcement. We can not nullify because of divided opinion, we can not jeopardize orderly government with contempt and enforcement. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment commands, but perversion and evasion mark the paths to future of government itself. "I know, Women of the Federation, that you have, at every session of this body petitioned the leaders of this nation in the behalf of law and order. Time and again you have sent telegrams of protest against the inhuman butchery and mob murder of our people. I have been with you in your sessions prayer for deliverance from this great wrong. During all these long and trying years of the persecution of our people it has seemed to us that no great and powerful voice would rise up in our behalf. In the midst of our seeming hopelessness, however, God has raised up Warren G. Harding. In answer to the prayers of mothers and fathers of slavery days chattel slavery was overthrown. The prayers of their sons and daughters of today are being heard and political slavery will as inevitably end. Mob murder will go down with mob government. At the last, after all our waiting, thank God we have a statesman who has the courage and the conscience to declare, in the language of Senator Harding, these words: "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair names of America." This is not all Senator Harding has said. His creed of political beliefs, he emphatically proclaims: "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." "No such assurance as this from the heal of the Republican party has ever come to us before. The outspoken utterances of Senator Harding, as the party standard bearer, become the commitment of the Republican party. Our very all is involved in the success of the Republican party in the coming election. I shudder to think what would befall our people in the South in the event of Republican defeat." all while we were there. We were very much inspired for greater service. Rev. J. H. Van Leu was the director and leader of the project. It is our school, and it depends upon us to how it shall succeed. I hope this District will play its part in this work because it is a worthy object, that will help to build up the Church, and will help fallen humanity, and it will help our Ministry and the denomination, and we all some day will be proud of the accomplishments for the good of ourselves and our children, and to the glory of our God and the generations to follow. ...

Says the News: . “Secretary Baker has definitely re- Sected the appeal of colored soldiers for race equality in the army, His reasons for that offensive decision he rives ina letter published In the Cris- Is for this month. He says that it Is the pohey of the War Department ‘to assign rational guard units recruited from colored men to duty that will not incorporate them in a division com- posed of white organizations” For this reason It has been decided that colored troops in national guard ser- vice shall be organized into pioneer infantry units that can be assigned to duty, under command of corps head- quarters, Mr Baker professes the belief that “dispassionate thought” will vindicate the wisdom of this poli- cy. He closes the letter with, the as- surance that ‘the war department ful- ly appreciates the very creditable qualty of service rendered by our colored organizations during the world wer, and that, in arriving at our de» elsion concerning the future employ- ment of colored national guard units, we were guided solely by considera- tions bearing upon military efficiency, and with no Intentions, whatever of discrimination between the races that go to make up our country’s popula- tion? “Ts it possible that Secretary Ba- ker can suppose that his last state. ment can be credited by any consider- able number of the people? It is pat- ent to every observer that there is a sharp discrimination between the black and white races.

It costs something to en- roll in this school One must deny himself, take up his cross and fol- low Jesus daily, §f he enters. To make progress in this school -and really become a complete man, wilt require development, physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. The perfeotion of our education is obtalned through Christ, This is the school which teaches the perfection of the human race—It is the Church of Christ. One cannot enroll except he will acknowledge the supremacy of Jesus Christ and declare all else inferior. Interest fn the study of Christ’s teaching discloses the simplicity of His transcendent instructlon, Remember that Jesus began his teaching in the outermost part of Galllee—which was called the land of darkness—the Gallilee of the Gen- tiles, There is a wonderful beauty in the simplicity of His teaching. See the great Teacher ascending the mountains, followed by a great mul- twudet After being seated, He taught. He met men on their own level as he taught. This sermon on the mount, I com- mend to you. It is too great to be called a sermon. It might be call- ed the Great Charter of the King- dom of Heaven. It is greater than our most profound philosophy. He taught the character of the Kingdom of Heaven—a kingdom in which character predominates. We should respect the letter, also the spirit of the law, We enter into the spirit of the law when we carry it out in our lives, This in- clades character and duty of citizen. ship, | Jesus, in His humility transcends every teacher. He humbled Himself to death, even,to the death of the cross. He opens to you the teach. ing which will give you a right to the Kingdom if you accept the terms, Be His Disciple, follow Him daily. | Then when all seems dark and drear you may hear Him say—“Fear not; | for I am with thee; be not dismayed; | for E am thy God; I will strengthen | thé; yea I will help thee; yedI will uphold.thee with the right hand | if my righteousness,” 4 The B.

I hope we will do our whole duty in help ing to make that school what it should be for our people, where your boys an dgirls can learn trades of almost any kind, if he or sho so desires, so théy can become useful to themselves and others, as this in an age of trades and profes- sions, of men and women, It is ad- visable to learn a trade if he or she can, + I stul urge our peop to buy homes and farms and get fixed for life. The man that has nothing is the oth- er man's servant or slave, Get something that you can master, and use as yours, homes land and busi- ness, will cause any people’to be re- spected, the poor must take what he gets, but the man who gets something will be independent, I. urge young men and women to have something, don’t waste all you earn with foolish things, the boys and girls of today, must be the men and women of to. morrow, A Tribute to the work, life and char. acter of Brother John E.

Lewis did, but I hope someone will TE Teh ye pee be sound that wilh be acceptable to all to fill his place in our hearts, and the service that he was so willing tnd ready to do at all times. I feel thet the Lord will’ provide someone to take his place made vacant by his untimely death, and that «whoever that man or woman be, he or she will be able to give the efficient ser- vice that John E, Lewis se kindly and willingly gave for these many years, to the work of this District, and to the State among the Baptist, we mourn his*untimely death, and we can only say: “The will of God be done, we miss his presence, his ser- vice and his kind words.” We can truthfully ssy, here was ® man whose life was one of service, with bowed heads and sad hearts, we can only say: “Thy will be done.” Our loss ia Heaven’s gain. We mourn his loss, Dear Brethren:— As your Moderator for these eight years, I have tried as best I could to live a Godly and upright life, and I have tried to represent you and the District as best I could. I have not done all I would like to have done, but I have dona what I could under the circumstances, I have tried to live in fellowship with all the peo- ple. I have visited the Churches as often as I could, and helped the dif- ferent churches and the pastors in every way I could. I have tried to build up our District, I have been very faithful in trying to be in har- mony with all departments of our work and the leaders. I can say truthfully that I have really tried to be honest with God and my Brother. I have written a great many letters fo the Brethren from time to time, fo assure them of my friendship, kindness and my brotherly love, Some things have been pleasant, and it other times not so pleasant, There ire some things I have been espec- ally interested about, in the eleva- lon of the people to a higher ideal of eal worship of God and the mission yt the Church, and holding of the - roung people in our Church. There re many things I could say, but time vill not permit. ‘Thanking you for the honors that ou have reposed in me, and whoever his body sees in their judgment to elect for a leader will be my choice, nd pleasure.
