A Happy New Year To All Senator Charles Curtis and Congressman Tincher presented the name of Dr. C, M. Moates, a leading physician of Leavenworth, Kansas, to President Harding for the diplomatic post of Minister to Haiti. This is a just recognition of brain and ability. Dr. Moates is one of Kansas' most prominent physicians and property holders. He is a dignified, polite and a thorou diplomat. We feel and believe that President Harding will make no mistake in the appointment of Dr. Moates to this position. For a number of years the doctor was a member of the Examining Board of the United States Soldier's Home at Leavenworth, Kansas, one of the largest Government institutions in the country. He has not by any means been idle, and today owns a block of store buildings in that city and several pieces of rental property worth several thousands of dollars, in Kansas City, Mo, and elsewhere. That he can and would make good in this position, goes without saying. This important foreign post was first held by the late Frederick Doug lass and by three other prominent HARDING HONORS COLORED EDITOR CHIHACO. Dec. 26 - Nahum D. Brasher, editor in chief of the Ago related Miro Press, has been covering the Disarmament Conference at Wardington for the 117 color newspapers receiving the service of the association. His credentials place at his disposal every accommodation recorded any press representative. Beyond this enterprise of his or organization in having an accredited correspondent there, has no impressed President Harding that he presents: Mr. Brasher with a large auto-graphed photo of himself upon which he inscribed the caption, "With fraternal greetings from the Fourth Estate to the Miro Press." "WARREN G. HARDING" This, with the recognition accorded Gilpin, constitutes a gracious consideration for the stage and the press, the two most advanced out posts.

Colored men, who made good and commanded the highest respect of the Italian citizenry, and splendid diplomatic relations were maintained between the little black republic and the United States of America, until the inauguration of the Wilson administration, when repulsive white Southern haters of Colored people, who took occasion to mistreat the natives and permitted numerous outrages in that country. Dr. Montes is fully capable to go over there and bring about an amiable relationship between the two countries and straighten all the kinks, so far as our government is concerned. The position is one which belongs to the colored race by inheritance. Further than that, it is no more than proper that members of the race, should be sent to deal with their own color. The American white man says he does not care to deal with them on the square. We hope and trust that the name of Dr. Moates will be sent to the Senate for confirmation, in the very near future. NICK CHILES. Editor CHOSEN STRIKE LEADER; ADVOCATES PEACE; FALLS FROM GRACE. Welghed In Balance; Found Wanting Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 27—George W. Reed, Negro leader of the parking plant strikers here, was arrested at labor headquarters today on a state warrant charging assault with a deadly weapon. According to the authorities, Reed early today boarded a street car crowded with Negro packing plant workers, held a revolver on the motorman and conductor until they stopped the car and then ordered all the passengers to get off. To explicate the proceedings, the police say, Reed fired several shots. The Negro passengers fled in a panic, several of them smashing windows to obtain speedier means of departure. The affair took place just before dawn and, police say, Reed escaped in the darkness. Henry T. Zimmer, chief of police, and a detective, were attracted to the scene by the shooting and made the investigation which resulted in Reed's arrest. Reed later was identified by the motorman and conductor, it was stated at police headquarters. According to the authorities, he admitted having fired one shot and said that he had driven some nonsrikers from a car. The Negro leader has been cooperating with officials in their efforts to prevent trouble in the packing house district and has made numerous speeches in which he counseled his followers to obey the law. He recently announced that he was withdrawing as strike leader, to which he was elected at a mass meeting when the strike began, because radical elements were not in sympathy with his peaceful campaign. The strikers, however refused to accept the resignation --- N A. A. C. P.

SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR HOME PAPER - THE PLAINDEALERS HARD FIGHT AGAINST DYERANTI-LYNCH BILL THE ANTI-LYNCHING MEASURE GOES OVER UNTIL AFTER THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ON ACCOUNT OF FEAR OF STRONG DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION. Aswon of Louisiana Admits They Want to Lynch The Negroes Without Interference on Part of the Federal Government. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23. — The live issue before the colored people of this city for the present is the anti-lynching bill which is now before the House of Representatives. The workers, most of whom are members of the N. A. A. C. P., seemed somewhat disappointed as the members of the House, one by one departed for their respective homes to spend the holidays, thus leaving it hard to get a quorum to transact any kind of business. Hope however, is expressed by the more optimistic, who claim that the postponement, is almost a guarantee, that the bill will be immediately passed after Congress reconvenes, following the holiday recess. It being argued that it will take the for most a party measure dividing according to the strength of each party—the democrats on the one side and the republicans on the other. Hard Fight Expected From all indications at this time, it looks as though a hard fight will be made against the bill by the democrats. Whether this opposition is a "grand stand play" on the part of those who indulge in it, is not just clear for interpretation, but one thing which is noticeable is that some of the republican lenders are quite fearful as if the Democrats by some miraculous means will transform the Republican majority to a democratic majority when Congress re convenes. Want to Lynch Negroes Without Interference. The Negro was made a target for assaults on the part of Representative Aswell of Louisiana during a speech in opposition to the anti-lynching bill. He stated that the white people of the South had a right to lynch a Negro anytime they saw fit without interference on the part of the federal Government. And said that the passage of the bill would not prevent lynching. These words were taken to mean that he himself would lead a mob to lynch a Negro as an expression of contempt for the measure. Most of the Southern representatives looked upon the bill with contempt and so expressed themselves. And while some said they were opposed to lynching, yet they always made it perfectly clear that they want the right to lynch a "ugly" without interference on the part of the Federal Government WHITE WOMEN 'BLACKED-UP' KILL NEIGHBOR; ARE KILLED Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. 3.—That an Oklahoma farmer's wife was murdered last night by two neighbor women, masquerading as Negroes, and that the motive appeared to have been robbery, and the two assailants in turn were shot by a traveling peddler, lodged overnight in a barn, is the story brought to Fort Smith, today by W. S. Wright, a salesman operating out of this city. The scene of the murder and killings, according to Wright, is in a spargely settled country. According to the narrative, as it came to him from several sources, the husbands of the two women shot called Wednesday afternoon after their victim's husband and induced him to join them in an opposum hunt. Later the peddler drove up and requested lodging for the night. Explaining that her husband was away, the farmer's wife told him he might sleep in the barn. The soldier was awakened during the night by the woman's screams. Jumping up with his pistol he ran into the house and found what he took to be two Negro men bending over her body. He promptly shot them, then investigated. He found his hostess' throat cut from ear to ear and discovered that he had killed two women, clad in men's clothing and with their faces and hauds blackened. Wright, who reported the occurrence was unable to ascertain the names of the persons involved. SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR HOME PAPER—THE PLAINDEALER. TO THE AMERICAN NEGRO, Greetings: The race is now standing at the end of one era and the beginning of another. The world war marks the epochal transition. We are marking time, rather than marching forward. Our churches are augmenting in number, rather than gaining in spiritual power. Our schools are gaining in efficiency but waning in moral energy and inspirational appeal. Our political life is retrograde. In business enterprise alone is these endouaging indication of a progressive spirit. The burden of race reclamation is shifting from philanthropy to our own shoulders. The future service of philanthropy will be material, consultive and advisory. It can no longer be intimate and directive. Two generations of philanthropy have wrought in vain unless the Negro has been enabled thereby to walk on his own feet. The only help that is worth while is the help which helps the helpless to help himself. The Negro must henceforward furnish his own leadership and guide his own segregated life which he is forced to live apart. Race cooperation, not race control, is the way for the future. The beat elements of the two must unite in the spirit of mutual respect and good will for the common weal. Ten million Negroes possess all of the potentialities of civilization. But like the wild water power of our mighty rivers they have been going to waste for all of the centuries. Slavery harnessed the Negro's animal and mechanical powers to the crude task of the South's industrial needs. The new task of Negro leadership is to gear up his latent power to the engineery of race uplift and reclamation. There is no "fundamental, eternal, excapable difference" of race which the Negro can recognize in any mood. The Negro must stand, if he stands alone, for the intellectual, moral and spiritual unity of mankind. It must not garrender to race Christianity must not be allowed to compromise with color. The task which desolves upon the New Negro leadership is an great as any which falls upon human should erg. An ideal must be formulated which is sufficiently tangible and definite to appeal to the whole race and quicken and inspire their dormant energies. Whether this ideal will ultimate in America or some kind of continent hosts, but little thought is greater than the doctrine is greater than the goal. A principle is greater than the ideal that endures. Let this be the foreground in which we shall modify the race I would give to the New Negro leadership acquit ourselves. Like most people we make ready the New Way for the New day.

Seattle, Wash., Dec. 23—The order to show causes in the action brought by the trustees of the First A.M.E. church of this city, against the Rev. J. Logan Craw, and wife was heard Friday afternoon, Dec. 10th, in the Superior Court before Judge Everett Smith. After considering matters the court ruled that it would not interfere with the religious beliefs or religious modus operandi of the church, being an incorporated body, and having its own provisions as to how its articles of incorporation could be amended and how its trustees could be appointed or elected, it would be necessary that anything done toward changing or altering the articles of incorporation or electing or appointing trustees would have to conform with the articles of incorporation and the incorporation laws of the state of Washington. The court further ruled that a religious body had a right under its discipline, to try any individual member for any violation of their belief or rights of the institution The court further in discussing the matter stated that the members of the institution ought to go back to the church, close the doors, and fight out their differences to a final. He advised them that considerable prayer might assist them in his wise judgment the court further remarked that in his best opinion it was necessary for an institution such as a church to have a minister that was able to hold the best wishes of the congregation at large and in view of all the evidence it appeared that the Rev. J. Logan Craw ought to quit, and in view of the fact that the said minister was a public spirted and broad minded man, that he surely would quit. The court in denying the petition and an injunction and dissolving the temporary restraining order then existing, also ruled that, considering that the board of trustees is made up of members of the institution and that to be on the board one had to be a member of the institution, and further considering that J. A. Boston and O. H. Winston had been removed from membership in the institution that they were unauthorized to institute such an action Topeka Morris Plan Bank AN INSTITUTION WHICH IS HELPING THE WORKING MAN AND IS EFFICIENTLY HANDLED UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MR. H. F. GUTHRIE. The laboring people and the poor honest working man and woman of Topoka, are proud of Mr H I P'uthrie, Manager of the Morris Plan Bank, located on East Sixth street. This institution was organized under the plan of Mr Arthur J Morris, of New York City, a few years ago, with combined local capital, with the purpose of relieving the condition of the poor people who needed small loans which the larger banking institutits did not care to handle. Mr. Morris, who is one of the loading attorneys of New York City, unlike most lawyers, put aside the selfish motive and devised this plan for the benefit of his fellowmen who were in dire need of an institution to relieve his financial strain and today, there 97 banks in the United States bearing his name and policy. The local Board of Directors could not have secured a more competent man to manage the affairs of this bank, than Mr. Guthrie, who started in the banking business over thirty years ago with the old Kansai National Bank, of which Mr. Samuel Howe, was president. He went from there to the Central National Bank, where he remained until he organized the Morris bank, of which he has made a growing success. He is a tireless and unrelenting worker and collector, and one of Topeka's best and safest bankers. He grew, up on a farm in Marshall county, having been borp in the state of Connecticut. He came to this state with his parents, having to make his way up the ladder of financial fame by himself. He is one of this city's leading and progressive citizens, who is always doing something to make Topeka grow. He is assisted by Miss Edith M. Pinkey, who is also a financier and the only lady in the city, who can manage a bank. She is an adopt at reading faces and can-size up person about as well as Mr. Guthrie. Mr. Guthrie, recently carried his Morris Plan before the Cooperative Club, one of the leading civic organizations of the city and the following article is from the daily Capital: "II. F. Guthrie, of the Topeka Morris Plan Co, explained the plan of the company to filling the banking field of the industrial worker needing small loans at the regular weekly meeting and dinner of the Cooperative club last night. The Topeka company makes an average of 150 loans a month, he said and in the more than three years of its existence it has suffered losses of only slightly over $360. It has made a total of 4,611 loans, aggregating $603,477. The purpose of the company is to relieve the credit situation by handling loans for industrial workers and others in need of money to pay trade accounts and to handle trade acceptances, also to teach the saving habit as well as loan money. The patent company, which owns 25 per cent of the stock of the Morris plan companies, has more than 50 such banks, he said. The total capitalization of the various companies is over $12,000,000 and the total loans made, $231,000,000. The surplus of the various companies aggregates in excess of $2,000,000, he said.

Associated Negro Press. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 21. Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad have recently taken notice of the unusual career of John J. Jones, veteran employee of the system. Thirty-three years of steady service on the famous "Congressional Limited" one of the finest trains in the United States is his achievement, equalled probably by very few dining car men in the country. He performed very arduous service in connection with the great blizzard of 1888 and the terrible Johnston Flood. While he has occasionally operated in some other trains he is distinctly a "Congressional" man and during his long duty on this coach he has become personally acquainted with, and been called by name, by nearly all the distinguished national characters during the past quarter of a century, having personally served meals, among others to expressants. Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, Rocvelt, also to Congressmen Reed and Cannon; ex-speakers of the House of representatives Jas. O. Bhine. Wm. J. Bryan; Senators Daniels and Tillman; Secretary of State, Hughes; Admirals Dewey, Schley and Perry; General Sickles, Miles, Pershing; Meerss. McAdoo, Daniels, Baker; Lancing of the Wilson administration, as well as distinguished civilians such as J. P. Morgan, Commo- dore Vanderbilt. O. H. Belmont Perry Belmont, Andrew Carnegie, C. M. Schwab, Jay Gould and his son George J. Gould. Mr. Jones' most striking characteristics are his perpetual smile and amiable manner. He says that passengers frequently referred to the fact that he always wears a smile. Recently a lady guest who uses the "Congressional" frequently, inquired of him as to how he was able to keep smiling regardless of the demands made upon him by the passengers. His reply was, "Madam, I am a salesman, I sell service. If I am nice to my passengers, they are good to me." In asking Mr. Jones for a comparison as to the dining car conditions as the present day, with these existing when the first took up this line of work, he says the most striking feature to him is the guest now-a-days does not eat as heavily, probably due to the fact that years ago all dinners BUY A HAND-MAN Xmas from YOU can help keep the Dia- of Tuise Riot Victims this w COMFORTS FROM OUR STO These COMFORTS are made MEN who lost all in the fro- June 1st.

In those days a dining car was something of an innovation, being a step forward from the "twenty-mante" stop for lunch" at terminal stations and passengers were so glad to get away from that delay that they were critical about the dining car service. Nowadays a dining car is taken for granted on all first class roads; passengers are discriminating in their selection of food and critical and exacting as to service. Mr. Jones intimates that during his 35 years experience he served meals to approximately 300,000 people. The Pennsylvania is said to be noted for the long service of its Colored employees.
