HIGH TRIBUNAL HEARS THE NEWBURY ARGUMENTS. Senate Committee Announces Ford Galus 325 Votes on Senator in Recount. Washington, Jan. 7. — Conviction of Sensor Truman H. Newberry of Michigan and sixteen others of conspiring to violate the corrupt practices act was denounced as a "gross perversion of justice" by counsel for the Sensor, and was uphold by the government as a salutary lesson to those who would purchase an election "by paid propaganda" before the Supreme Court officials today when arguments in the appeal were heard. Charles E. Hughes who headed council for the defense asserted that only through a "grotesque construction of the statues had the government been able to present any case to the jury. He quoted the government brief as showing that it was admitted that no restriction was placed by law or the expenditures of a political committee in behalf of any candidate not on the amount such a committee might raise for a campaign. The defense also attempted to show the court that the corrupt practices act itself, so far as it attempted to limit campaign expenditures for legal objects was unconstitutional. Deposits and withdrawals from banks made in behalf of the campaign aggregated in excess of $200,000 the prosecution asserted. While the fight to determine Senator Newberry's legal right to his seat was in progress the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee continued the recount of votes cast in the Michi gain contest.

LEWIS IS KINDLY REMEMBERED For more than thirty years the members of the Second Baptist Church of this city in large numbers have made it a rule to visit the home of their pastor, especially at Christmas times, bearing tokens of good wif, esteem and regards for him as their Shepherd and leader. These tokens have usually been pressed in the form of hearty congratulations, good cheer and well wishes together with presentations of food, clothing, pursues and other useful articles for himself and family. Illustrated, Dr. Lewis has not been able to persuade for his congregation for more than two years, the love and loyalty of his people have suffered no abdainment, for, indeed their genuine interest in his welfare was never more clearly demonstrated than during the Xmas just passed. On Xmas eve night members and friends of the veteran pastor, like a mighty Niagara poured into the par sonage and remained until late in the night. With hearts aflawe with Xmas joy they came singing and stirring rings; "Let Jesus lead me all the way; 'Joy to the World the Lord has come; 'Silent night, eete.' THE XMAS DINNER.

Washington, Jan. 7.—Conviction of Senator Truman H. Newberry of MI gigan and sixteen others of conspir ius to violate the corrupt practice that was committed as a "gross perver sion of justice" for the Senator and was upholded by the government as a salutary lesson to those who would purchase an election "by paid propaganda" before the Supreme Court officials today when arguments in the appeal were heard. Charles E. Hughes who headed concil for the defense asserted that only through a "grotesque" construc- tion of the statues had the government been able to present any case to the jury. He quoted the government behind that it was admitted that no restructuring was placed by law on the expenditures of a political com- mittee in behalf of any candidate nor on the amount such a committee might raise for a campaign. The defense also attempted to show the court that the corrupt practices it itself, so far as it attempted to limit campaign expenditures for legal objects was unconstitutional. Deposits and withdrawals from banks made in behalf of the campaign aggregated in excess of $200,000 the prosecution asserted. While the fight to determine Senator Newberry's legal right to his seat was in progress the Senate Privileges and Blections Committee continued the recount of votes cast in the Michi gret contest. With 301 of the 2,200 State precincts accounted for Henry Ford had made a not gain of 325 over Mr. Newberry it was announced tonight. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY BRANCH Y. W. C. A.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES per Year ..... $ 2.00 per Months ..... 1.10 per Three Months ..... .28 foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY... JANUARY 15, 1921 Some people love scandal like some other people like pound cake. It looks now like getting married is the prelude to getting a divorce. leasing colored folks is as difficult a task as trying to please some of these white folks. Colored folks belove in disagreeing with and fighting each other. In this respect we are something of "colored folks" ourselves. Being polite and obliging to white people will make you polite and obliging to colored folks and this is a condition of affairs devoutly to be wish od. The lawless, insulting, immoral colored individual is not only making himself a nuisance, but he is injuring self-respecting members of the race in all parts of this country. Some of these people on this earth are not good enough for Heaven and not bad enough for the other place. And still there are people here who do not believe in purgatory. thousands of colored folks went North and West, where they not only disgraced themselves, but those good colored folks, who went with them. Certain sections of this South land knew them no more and those sections are glad of it. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is proceeding to dissect and to dismember the financial, commercial and industrial part of President Marcus Garvey's anatomy and it is a lucky thing that the President is not able to get the aforesaid intellectual individual upon the dissecting table of his tribe in the jungles of Africa. Then there would be no more learned dissertations by that remarkable New York product, who presides over the editorial destinies of the Crisis. ```markdown ``` The death of Editor W. Calvin Chase last week in his office at Washington removes from public life one of the most remarkable characters, the race had ever produced. He was an aggressive character and the name of his journal. The Bee, was appropriate and becoming, both to him and his admirers. He was true to his friends and relentless to his onemiles. We had known him for more than a quarter of a century and were shocked to learn that he had answered the last roll call. AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION A most embarrassing situation for the U. S. Gov. presented itself in the arrival of Danile J. O'Callaghan, Lord Mayor of Cork as stowaway on a vessel entering the port at Newport News, Va. He was placed under arrest by the immigration officials there with a view to his deportation. Then the Department of Labor, which has charge of immigration paroled him pending a decision in the case and he has been permitted to leave for New York. On the other hand, the Department of State has decided against his on- trance into this country, although properly and legally speaking the matter could not come before that Department in regular course until it had been submitted to it by the Department of Labor. This is one of many unique and peculiar situations that present themselves from time to time and emphasizes the fact that, in the selection of his subordinates, President Woodrow Wilson has made many egregious blunders. DR. DUBOIS ON MARCUS GARVEY Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the oldest, if not the ablest citizens of color in this country has seen fit in the January issue of the New York Crisis to give several pages of comment upon that remarkable leader, Mr. Marcus Garvoy, who seems just now to be the central figure in the Negro firmament of successful endeavor. We have read all that he has been unkind enough to say, with a view of ascertaining the purpose of this dissertation and the probable of feet of his caustic comment and criticism. What possible beneficial effect will Dr. Du Bois' analysis have up on Garvoy's leadership? Is there any personal feeling in this effort and is Dr. Du Bois, the historian and theorist the best person in the world to make recommendations relative to the changes necessary in the Garvoy leadership? When these questions are answered then, we shall be able to accept all that this distinguished man of letters says at their true value. It must, not be forgotten, in fact, it should be on phasized that Dr. Du Bois is a theorist, while Mareus Garvey is a practical man. One particular thing that impresses us is the frank statement of Dr. Du Bois that he believed that Mr. Garvey is an honest man. This, it would seem to us should entitle him to our sympathy, our help, our co-operation in one of the most monumental movements ever launched by a black citizen in this or in any other country. He may be, in a measure illiterate but his machine is being operated, his stenometers are plifying between ports, his office force is handling his great mass of correspondence and his agents are collecting money. But it is the money question that causes practically all of this comment. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols says that it would be a calamity to the Negro race should the movement fail and yet no effort or movement or declaration would have a greater tendency to make the movement a failure than that editorial broadside that Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols has launched against him and his associates in one of the most influential and widely read magazines in this country. This is the difference between theory and practice, the difference between the man, who plans inside of a room and a man, who plans and executes outside of the structure. Theoretically speaking and according to Dr. Du Bois argument, Mr. Marcus Harvey is a failure. As a matter of fact, Garvey and his enterprises are paying their way and are collecting more money and doing more business while his critics are declaring that his business life is at an end. It reminds us of the many cases, where in physicians and surgeons have given up patients and as soon as they were given up, the patients recovered and proceeded to eat and walk and walk and eat. Reading what Dr. Du Bols says, we have very little hope for Mr. Marcus Garvey and his associates; reading what Marcus Garvey and his associates are doing as published in the Negro World., we are praying God that we may live as long as the organization and its founder are destined to live upon the earth. But we are not appearing in the nature of a orilet of other the distinguished New Yorker, Du Bols or the practical West Indian Garvey. The former called a World Congress and failed; the latter called a World Congress and succeeded. And yet Garvey is not the equal of Du Bols. Du Bois is head and shoulders above any Living American of color in this country. Granting all of this, to our mind, he can make mistakes. He may not have made any mistakes this time, but it sooms to us that he is not altogether fair and just to this master-mind, who out of nothing has organized something and who is admittedly the greatest Negro leader, this country has ever known in the realm of finance and commercial en dovor. It may be well to state here that we do not enjoy the acquaintanceship of Marcus Garvoy, while we are a personal admirer of the dis tinguished gentleman, who has seen fit to criticise him and in his own way point out the mistakes that he thinks that he has made and is now making. It may be well to state too that we do not believe that were he elected to the presidency of this movement, Du Bois could hold the Garvey followers together for six months. It is unfortunate that this is so. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA but it is as "true as preaching." But what did Dr. Du Boss say about this black leader? Here it is: When it comes to Mr. Garvey's industrial and commercial enterprises there is more ground for doubt and misgiving than in the matter of his character. First of all, his enterprises are incorporated in Delaware, where the corporation laws are loose and where no financial statements are required. So far as I can find, and I have searched with care, Mr. Garvey has never published a complete statement of the income and expenditures of the Negro improvement Association or of the Black Star Line or of any of his enterprises, which really revealed his financial situation. A courteous letter of inquiry sent to him July 22, 1920, asking for such financial data as he was willing for the public to know, remains to this day unacknowledged and unanswered. 17 Du Bols comments as follows. Now a refusal to publish a financial statement is no proof of dishonesty, but it is proof that either Garvoy is ill-advised and unnecessarily courting suspicion, or that his indus trial enterprises are not on a sound business basis; otherwise he is too good an advertiser not to use a prom being balance sheet for all it is worth. Is this fair to Mr. Marcus Garvey? Is Dr. Du Lois a stock-holder in the Negro Improvement Association? If he is then he is in a position to demand the information which he says he requested. Being on the outside, is it not natural for President Garvey to consider him a mediator, so to speak and to be auspicious of his movements? When he could not secure information one way, then the disinguished educator proceeded to secure it in another, although, according to his own admissions, this information is inaccurate and misleading. He says: There has been one balance sheet, published July 26, 1920, purporting to give the financial condition of the Black Star Line after one year of operation; neither profit nor loss is shown, there is no way to tell the actual cash receipts or the true condition of the business. Nevertheless it does make some interesting revelations. The total amount of stock subscribed for is $690,860. Of this $118,153.28 it is not paid for, leaving the actual amount of paid-in capital charged against the corporation, $472,706.72. Against this stands only $555,214.59 of assets (viz.: $21,985.21 in cash deposits and loans receivable; $1297.01 in furniture and equipment, $2815.517 which is the alleged value of his boats, $26,000 in real estate and $5,739 of insurance paid in advance). To offset the assets he has $152,641.4 of other liabilities (accrued salaries, $1,539.30; notes and accounts payable, $129,244.84; mortgages due $21,500.) in other words his capital stock of $472,706.72 after a year's business impaired to such extent that he has only $202,950.45 to show for it. Even this does not reveal the precariousness of his actual business condition. Banks before the war in lending their credit refused to recognise any business as safe unless for every dollar of current liabilities there were two dollars of current assets. Today, since the war, they require three dollars of current assets to every one of current liabilities. The Black Star Line had July 26, 1920 $16,485.91 in current assets and $130,764.14 in current liabilities when recognition by any reputable bank called for $390,000 in current assets. Moreover, another minister admission appears in this statement: the cost of loading the Black Star Line to date has been $289,066.27. In other words, it has cost nearly $300,000 to collect a capital of less than half a million. Garvey has, in other words, spent more for advertisement than he has for his boats! But Dr. Du Bois is, in a measure meridious, he oven holttles the pride of the Negroes of this country, when he attacks the Yarmouth, the only vessel on the high seas that is owned, manned and financed by the Negroes of this country. Here is what he says: This is a serious situation, and even this does not tell the whole story: the real estate, furniture, etc., listed above are probably valued correctly. But how about the boats? The Yarmouth is a wooden steamer of 1.452 gross tons, built in 1887. It is old and ausseworthy; it came near sinking a year ago and it has cost a great deal for repairs. It is said that it is now laid up for repairs with a large bill due. Without doubt the inexperienced purchasers of this vessel paid far more than it is worth and it will soon be utterly worthless unless rebuilt at a very high cost. But enough for this week. Dr. Du Bois may admire President Marcus Garvey and his work, but he has a poor way of showing it. As for us, we do not own a dollar's worth of the stock of the Negro Improvement Association and we are not acquainted with any one who has been either fortunate or unfortunate enough to secure any of it. We can truthfully say then that we occupy an unprejudiced position and that we are discussing a subject in a manner that is judicial and impartial. We admit though that we are puzzled to understand how Dr. Du Bois can fail to see and understand that he is doing all that he can to cripple this great institution and absolutely nothing to help it. The reforms of which he speaks must come from within. But, finance moves in quiet waters and agitators will tend to drive away capital and to stop the flow of money to the offices of the concern at New York. It may be that next week, we shall discuss this interesting subject further. We have been deeply impressed by the argument advanced by The Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide in its issue of the 25uit., in which it questions the wisdom of enforcing the provision of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution providing for the reduction of representation from those States which distrancise any proportion of its citizens. We question, how ever the wisdom of the discussion of this phase of the situation in the open. It seems to us that this kind of argument should be advanced "behind closed doors," so to speak and after an exhaustive discussion the question should be decided. If the majority is in favor of demanding the enforcement of this pro mission, we should all subordinate our individual opinions for the good of the people, with whom we are identified. As the matter now stands, we are in the position of attacking our friends in the rear, white they are contending for our rights at the front. The position of the Journal and Guide is the position of the individual, who has had his money stolen from him. The chief is caught and she court fines him fifty dollars, which fifty dollars, the court goes, while the man, who was robbed gets only the satisfaction of seeing the individual, who stole the money punished. We take it that the Journal and Guide want affirmative action, that is some action, by which the citizens of color, who are now being denied the right to vote will be guaranteed and protected in that right. It argues that the reduction of representation would be in effect a movement to legalize the taking away the right to vote for the reason that after the reduction of representation had become an actual fact, no proper plea could be set up for the guaranteeing to the citizens who had been disfranchised the right to become enfranchised. But would this reduction of representation legalize the disfranchisement laws as claimed by our contemporary? But the Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide exposes some secret his tory. It says: The writer was instrumental in killing the movement in the Roosevelt Administration when it was fathomed by Congressman Crumpacker of Indiana, and had a good chance of becoming law, by converting Dr. Booker T. Washington against it who in turn convinced President Roosevelt that it was a dangerous measure. President Roosevelt promptly notified Mr. Crumpacker that if the bill should become a law, he would veto it. That killed the movement. It may be that many of the mistakes made by the celebrated Roosevelt in his dealings with the colored people were the direct results of these under-handed methods to accomplish what could not be brought about in the open. Dr. Booker T. Washington meant well, but he had no experience in politics and there are accumulating evidences that in dabbling in it, he made a mess of it. What is handlecp ping the colored people of this country is this individualism as against united action in the premises. This able journal comments further: During the recent Republican National Convention sessions efforts were made by representative Afro-Americans, headed by Henry Lincoln John son of Georgia, Isaac H. Nutter of New Jersey and many others to commit the Republican party to a declaration in the platform in favor of reduction of Southern representation, but the platform committee refused to do so. How can we win, if the men, who lead us are handicapped and embarrassed in their efforts by other colored leaders, who see or think that they see a better method of accomplishing beneficial results for us as a people? Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson comes direct from the Republican voters in the heart of the Southland and he is qualified to speak for us all. Hon. Isaac H. Nutter has just been elected to the legislature of West Virginia. Both are in a better position to represent the colored people of the country than we can possibly be and it may be that we do not entirely agree with all that they say or do, but it seems to us that there are times, when "silence is golden." This is why during the recent movement in this State, we advised the colored people to support the colored Republican movement although we did not agree with all of the modes and methods advanced by those who advanced them. Stall, the Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide has the right to say exactly what it has said and to take the position which it has taken. Much that it has said in the matter of the reduction of representation should "furnish food for thought." It seems to us through that our esteemed contemporary has proven too much. It declares that the reduction of representation under the Federal Constitution would legalize disfranchisement and then advances, this unanswerable argument which goes to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that such a reduction of representation would not legalize disfranchisement. Horo is what it says: The right to vote, to be citizens of the United States was not given the Afro-American people by act of Congress, but by a majority vote of all of the States of the Federal Union. The Congress has no power, therefore, to legalize the right of any State to disfranchise a part of its citizen ship under the provision of the fourteenth amendment, although a clause in the article gives it power to do so. The Supremo Court, we believe, would hold our view of the matter, that a qualifying clause should not be so construed as to destroy the constitutional guarantee of specific rights. If one State has the right to do it all the States have a right to do it. We hold that none of them has the right to do it. Once it should be done, and the Supreme Court should uphold the law and it has shown in construing the Civil war amendments to the Constitution that it is disposed in every instance to interpret it against the rights and interests of the Afro-American people, when those prejudiced the rights and interests of white persons. Pursuing a man for dealing from another man, does not take from the loser, the right to prosecute this same man again should he again steal from him. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution does not provide that where the representation has been reduced on account of this denial of the right of suffrage to any proportion of the legal citizens, that such a reduction takes from those citizens the right to vote. It means that this reduction of representation will continue for ten years or loss that is, until the next census, when, should the returns show that the people who were disfranchised are then enfranchised, the Congressional representation, which had been reduced would be restored. But, our good friend does not spare others in his general condemnation: Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts has introduced a bill in the present Congress legalizing the right of the South to disfranchise its Afro American citizenship and to be penalized only by a reduction of their representation in Congress and the elec torial colleges. The National Equal Rights League, whose headquarters are in Boston, and has for president Rev. M. A. N. Shaw and for Secretary W. Monroe Trottor neither of whom is learned in the law of the Constitution, or knows what he is do ing in this grave matter have addressed a letter to Representative Tinkham, endorsing his bill and offering any assistance they can give in help ing to make it a law. Does the Norfolk, Journal and Guide propose to continue a general onslaught upon the men, who have been selected to take charge of this department of the work? Is there not some way, by which this discussion of method and means can take place "behind closed doors," so to speak? It may be that we, ourselves have not been altogether without fault in this manner of attack, but it seems to us that in the light of reason and in the face of experience, we should profit by past history and make some new moves for the future.

He must have paid all taxes required of him since tho constitution of the State of Georgia of 1878, down to the dato of his application for registration to the tox collector. Under what wo call the Hoke Smith amondment to the suffrage laws of Georgia there were other quallfica- tions added, among thom being that & porson wo himself or hia ancestors, prior to 1868, had the right to vote, was iit encumbered by any. of the aumlitleations exacted therein. ‘The Chairman. ‘Frat makes a vits- sLnctlon between the white voto and ‘the colored: vote?
