NEGROES WERE MIGHTY IN THEIR VOTES More Determined to be [ARMISTICE Felt. lO IPAITIDO MA TATIDAT NEW YORK CITY, Nov, 18—Thi political master minds have something to thins sbout, Mayor Hylan, Dem ocrat, New York, has been swept in {9 office by more than 400000 plural ity, and the Colored Americans o Harlem added the might of thels votes to the result. In some presincts Mayor Hylan received as many as six votes among Colored to one fot tho Republican nominee, Thtre wer n2ver a more strenuous campaign for votes within the group than was made by Democrat'c Tammany Hall There were clubs by the score; hter. ature by the ton; signs by the acre and enough Hylan tnthusiasm to make high waves in the Atlantic Occan, Mayor Hylan personally spoke sev- eral times in the district, and capped the climax Sunday by reviewing the mammoth civic and miltery parade, and decivering an address at the ground brcaking for the new 15th regiment armory. In Virginia, the “Lily Whites” who hoped to carry the state by their new program eliminating the Negro votes from the Republican perty, were repud‘ated by more than 60,000 votes, The “Lily Black” ticket, head- ed by John Mitzhell for Governor, polled more than 20,000 votes, a most significant achievement. In Riche mond, a lack of organization was shown. It is cleimed only 2,800 Co:- ored voters were registered and Mitchell in his own city, secured only 500 votes. The leaders in Virginia are encouraged by the remarkable showing throughout the state and Plan to redouble their efforts. In Louisville, while the Repub‘i- ean city ticket was successful, the Lincoln Independents polled a large vote, cutting down~the Republican plurality, and the state ticket went Democratic.

WELL RECEIVED. BY WM. PICKENS, (by the Associated Negro rress) | At last that anti-lynching bill hes succeded in getting out of commit tee at Jeaat. Whether it will now gu! Ja favorable vote on the floor of Con gress, depends. Now is the real tim {to work, on your congrissman an your senator,—not those from the South but those from everywhere else. If you “bother the ‘gentleman from Mississippi” sbout this bitl, it will Just only remind him to be sure to tum out and votes against it Don v "waste any stamps or ink or Mississipp! delegations, but wher- ever colored people vote, let the con- gressmen know that you want this bill passed. Moreover, let them know that it must be passed without being emas- iculated, without having its teeth ‘drawn. It wil, be ersy to tako the kick out of this bill and pass it. As it is now written, It is a pretty stiff Proposit’on for the mob-murdeiled, For example, it says that the lyncker [shall be sentenced for Life or for not Jess than Five Years, Now, that min- ‘imum is the really important thing. If it read thet the guilty party may be convicted for life, or must be een- [tensed to serve Not More Than a ‘ife térm, it would not be worth two cents in Mississippi: for if they just had to convict anybody thers for lynching a Negro, they might give him a thirty day, or twenty-four hour, sentence, and then “suspend the sentence.” It is much morte important that this bill should say that ths murderer should receive at letst five years, than to say he may receive a life term. The min- imum is the thing. The maximum is justa threat, and wedonoteare about mere gestures in Mississippi. Even sf this minimum were only One year, ft would bs better than a maximum threat of a hanging. In fact, we would fecl more hopefui if the min- imum bs too high, there will be too much sympathy for the scoundrels who eit before the court-—while if there be no minimum at all, the law will be a joke In Georgia. Colored folk are -so very hopeful, 80 quick to believe, Please do not believe that this anti-lynching law is made yet, or that it will be ef- fective when it js meds, unlcas you work harder for it Now than ever be- fore, So far, so good: the colored folk have spent years of toil and sweat and money working for this bill, and it is now actually to be debated in Congress, and maybe pressed in some shape, One organization, known as The National Association for the Ad- vanccment of Colored People, has spent more than Thirty Thousand Dollars in the ten-year fight for this bill, And in other weys the colored group alone has spent millions: in their newspaper columns, on their platforms, from thelr church ros- yrums, and thry individual and organ- | zed efforts of every kind—to say nothing of the immeasurab’e suffer- | ings and losses. This Must Not Fail. | But it will fail [f we do not work now. | Phe Bill js now up egainst jts most | pazardous experience in attempting | o “run the gauntlet” of this congress, | WELL SPOKEN AND WELL RECEIVED. SPEECIL on the color question at Bamingham accentuates hia growing disposition to deal boldly with the big concerns of contemporary life. The Temark seems litertily true that no president preceding him has dared either in the North or in the South to speak of issues between tho white and colored races, But Mr, Harding spoke ha mind in the South, to both .wh te and black southerners, and yet with a fairness entirely superior to ‘aectiona.iam, for he expressly recog- nized that In some aspects et least the interraciai problem is rwre te- rious North than South. And his recommendations to both races were the essence of good sense, fair Amer- icanism and sound Christianity. An honest open chance for the black race to get on tmd get up and contribute all which it can fit itself to contribute to the common welfare of a democratic nation; a hearty, self- respecting race-pride determined to maintain an unmixed atrein of Negro blood, and @ spirit of Christian con- sideraion governing both races as fel ow citizens in this mighty land of opportunity—this is a summary of. the President’s sensible proposals for | interracitd concord. It is a partcalar sign of Harding’s penetration that he shyewdly ci.ticises the fnappropri- | ateness of the common phrase “Social : equaltty.” The thing which both races in the person of their win leaders deprecate is really social co- mingling. But es the President's whole address waa designed to make plain, democratic {deals demand ct least the chance for “equality” in every department of life. When equi-| abrium is finally reached in America, on this color problem, some circles at enst of Negro society will stand on a; level cultura ly with the highest cir-| sles of white society, And mutual re- spect will affect them equally in both lirectiors. But tlizy wil not be com- mingling elrcles then any more than 10W, 1 The reception of the remarks of Mr, Iarding is clso encouraging.’ The applause of his colored hearers hould be entire reassurance to doubt- rs who have supposed that colored nen and women aro ambitious to at, ain whit is now called “soclai equal. ty.” On the other hand the calm see] eptance of the President's observa. fons by tho vast majority of the vh'te people of the South js an evi- lence that even where the bittercst | rejudice against the black rece was ormerly supposed to center, there as already arisen a prevailing se {| ‘ment in favor of a just and friend. || y attitude, cn-ourrging the capabe 1 Yegro to make of himself, for his! wn sake and the sake of his people, | he best man he can be, morally, so- | lally and economically.

Believe It to be Prejudice. (by Pte Associated Negro Press) | CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 18—Colored Post Office circles ere up in arms over a report on the Chicago Post- office, made at a htaring held in Washington, October Sth, before the Joint Postal Commission. The re- jlort declared that Colored clerks and [uzers were inefficient as compartd with whites and that 900 whites could do the same work which 1400 Colored employees now perform. The chirge came as a blow because Chicago's Federa: group has been re- garded as of unusually high eslibre and it has been a common opinion that they outclassed most of the white employtes in every way. Por- tions of the report follow:— | “The s'tuation in respert to the ‘growing numbers of Colored employ eca in the Chicago Postal service is la very acrious one. When it comes to the practical hand ing of mail the [co ored employees are inferior to the whites. This refers of course to the ener avirage. When the impor- tance of the Postal service to the |whole business and social hfe of the nation is considered the subject be- comes worthy of discussion. “The Administretion of that Chi- eags Post Cfice is not making those Negroes turn out the work that the wh te men do turn out, and they could save 600 employees In that Post Office if they applied the standards of effi- citncy in every day work to those Negroes that they require of the whites. That has @ very demoraliz- ing cffect on the White employee, net to mention the contect features of it which of course, cannot be help- ed, and that is a thing which [ think deserves very considerable adminia- trative attention in that post office, if they ever want to get the Postal Service up right. Tt was aso observed that lack of proper supervision of those employ- ecs of the facing table results in very slow work on this operation. This is especially noticeable with those Colored female employees who are employ:d on the facing table. %from our observation, which is cenfirmed by the supervisory officials sud station superintendents, the work of the 1400 coored employees of the Chicago Post Office could be jone by 900 average white employ- res, This mckes a possible saving of (G00 x 1400) $700,000 per year. “The enforcement of efficiency standards on the daily work will aa- jomatically eliminate the bulk of hese 1400 Negroes and wili effect a saving of $700,000, per ycar.” Postmaster Lender when interview- “1 by & representative of the Asso- ‘ated Negro Preas (declayd there ‘as nothing to worry about in the eport. He sald: “The report was sked for during the Democratic Ad- ninistration at Washington and was ompiled after an investigction by a ew York Firm of Efficiency experts ind postal officials from New York. he Colored employecs of this office ank well and they will be assured f a square deal in any investigation rhich comes up.” In the meantime, the Colored c'erks nd carriers who number 1400 out of 009 employees, regard the atteck as acial and are preparing to guard heir interests, MEET.

EX NEON DEOTIEC NR NRC NEESCOSEEX New Opportunities for The New Negro. (By The Associated Negro Press) ENCENADA, LOWER CALIF. Nov. 18-A Negro State in this section of Lower California is among the probabilities of the near future. At least this is the prediction of a group of enterprising Colored men who recently organized The Lower California Mexican land and development Company. 21,300 acres of land have been purchased by this company near here. It is a rich, dark soil land highly suitable for agricultural purposes and the climate is the most salubrious in the Western Hemisphere. In fact, according to the best known authorities in this section this Negro Company has been more than fortunate in the selection of the site they have made for ttheir project. No winter, an average temperature of not more than 79 degrees the year round, make the proposed colony an ideal proposition from the very start. The scheme as announced by Hugh E. Macbeth, well known Negro Attorney, is to place at least 200 families of industrious Negroes on a big block of agricu.tural land below the border and permit them to acquire possessions of their farms on long-term payments. The company was incorporated for $250,000 and Mr. McBeth states that virtually the entire issue of stock was taken up by wealthy Negroes in this city. The colonization company has already sent several families to "Little Libtria," he says and an active campaign for colonists will be made during the next six months. The colony lies sixty-eight miles South of San Diego, thirty-seven miles northeast of hers and five miles inland from the coast. It is believed that 70% of the tract is irrigable. It is flanked by Mountains of the coast range. Negroes Buy Land. This tract of farm land was purchased by Los Angeles Negroes in 1918 and since that time has been used largely for wheat growing. Complete soil and water tests have been made and the company is now ready to break the land up into units of forty acres and multiples thereof for the benefit of homeseekers. In the opinion of Mr. Troy, who leads the company, the oil outlook is quite, as promising as the agricultural future of the district in question. He declares that wells of good water can be secured at a depth of from six to twenty feet, and that the supply seems inexhaustible. The lands lie alonggsde the Mexican highway leading to San Diego. Roads are not good but the company hopes to improve them when colonists arrive in large numbers. The land is too near the coast for good cotton culture.. The best results will be secured by growing live stock and such crops as walnuts, deciduous and citrus fruits, alfalfa, potatoe and melons. Next spring, officers of the company, with several prominent Mexicans from this section will make a tour of the United States, visiting many cities, where wealthy Negroes reside, to lay the facts before them and secure their moral and financial support for the undertaking. "It is not our purpose to establish this colony as a retreat for, poverty-stricken Negroes," says Mr. McBeth. "The country is raw and undeveloped and it will take cracker-jack farmers to bring out that best that is in it, but there are wonderful possibilities hidden there for the man who has a little livestock and a little machinery and a great deal of determination. "Probably as many as fifty Negro families will go from southern California to the colony, but our present aim is to go into the southern states and take from there to Mexico the best Colored farmers the South has produced." Mr. MacBeth thinks the Negro colony of Lower California will serve as an entering wedge for the White man in Mexico. He holds the opinion that as the Negro gains foothold there and proves his value as a citizen, the Mexican will be more friendly to American capital. "That's why I am giving my best efforts to this colonization plan. It appeals to me as being a wonderful opportunity for Colored people." Tuskegee Remembered In a Will. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. Nov. 18—Principal Moton announced today that he had received notice that the late Mrs. Betty Williams of Flemington, New Jersey has recently died leaving a will which provided for Tuskegee Institute to receive from her estate approximately $2500.
