Right Cabinet Is For Justice NEW CABINET IS RIGHT ON THE JOB FOR JUSTICE TO COLORED PEOPLE History is being made. In the words of the immortal Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia: "The sun do move." If you think it "do not," turn your eyes in the direction of Washington. President Harding started the ball rolling by putting humaneness into humanity. The sweet refrain has been taken up by the members of the Cabinet, and it is now being echoed on Capitol Hill. The latest solo in the grand chorus comes from none other than the powerful and mighty Senator Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania, who has startled the Nation in a statement of justice to the Negro. All that Senator Penrose says is truth, and it is bound to have an electrical effect upon other Senators, upon law-making bodies and the people in general throughout the Nation. In the expansion of this idea, it is most interesting to have intimate and unquestioned knowledge of how the President's official family stands on the subject. The Associated Negro Press is in a position to state authoritatively that every member of the new Cabinet can be depended upon to deal squarely with American citizens: There is no disposition to sidestep any of the issues that now confront the people. The issues of race adjustment are being met, and will continue to be met, with frankness and fairness never before equaled. Secretary of State Hughes is giving careful and sympathetic consideration to the problems of Liberia, Haiti and the Dominican Government. His reception to the Liberian Commission was necessarily formal, but nevertheless cordial. Attorney General Daugherty, through the Department of Justice, is delving into the terrible peonage conditions in Georgia and the Mississippi delta. The protests of organizations and citizens generally that are pouring into the President and Attorney General are being given careful consideration, and so far as the Government is concerned, these conditions will be dealt with firmly. Secretary of War Weeks has given assurance to those who have talked with him that there will be nothing but a square deal in his department for all. He is thoroughly interested in disabled soldiers and, in fact, all of those who wore the uniform of the World War and who now uphold the honor of the flag. Secretary of Labor Davis is demonstrating to the world that he believes in justice. In the recent packers' hearing, the Secretary of Labor stood like a stone wall in defense, of treating Negro labor fair. Secretary of the Navy Denby has been in the tropical waters surrounding the West Indies, and his opinions of conditions in Haiti will go a long way toward determining the program of achievement and justice in that republic. Postmaster General Hays is everywhere preaching the gospel of "merit and justice." In denomination the Postmaster General is a Baptist, and is a pastmaster in the ability to deliver the "'rousements" which turn lethargy and injustice topsy-turvy. Secretary of the Interior Fall, without any noise or excitement, dropped Lieutenant Flipper into a berth and gave him the opportunity to look after Alaskan affairs. The "crocodile" tears of certain clerks who formally marched before the Secretary to announce that it would be impossible for them to serve in the department with a colored American as chief, did not move the Secretary. His response was brief and to the point. "This desk of mine," he said, "is large enough to hold all the resignations of those who do not wish to work." . Secretary Mellon Lays Down aw.

PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD. The Oneness of Humanity Is One of the Great Rays from the Sun of Truth. There are many rays from the Sun of Truth which lightens every horizon in this day of God. One of the most powerful and brilliant of these rays is the teaching of the unity of mankind, or the oneness of the world of humanity. Happy and truly illumined is he who sees all the continents of the world as one continent, all nations as one nation, and all races as one race. The essential unity of the human family is a divine creation, while the differences due to appearance, place of habitation, etc., are but superficial and do not touch the reality of humanity. But alas! So long have men lived and vibrated on the animal plane that nothing short of divine power can free them from the idols of prejudice. It is obviously absurd for people to hate each other because some are tall, others short; some are lean, others fat. Is it less so because some are black, other white? Some Europeans, others Asiatic? All the differing types of men have sprung from the same clay, breathe the same air, are warmed by the same sun, and at the dissolution of their bodies the elements out of which they are composed return to similar elemental forms. Those who have discovered their relation to the universe know that they worship the same God, by whatever name they invoke Him. The supreme and one universal God, abiding forever in His own identity, has impressed his oneness and singleness upon all creation. The scientist has never discovered two exact duplicates in the endless forms which mark creation. This diversity is the sign of beauty and perfection in all the universe. Monotony deadens the sense of pleasure, but variety is the spice of life. The changes of seasons, the numberless insects and birds that chirp and sing in divers tones their joy in life, the turning of the leaves in autumn, which blends infinite shades into nature's panorama of beauty, express the divine artist who is the creator of countless images. Endless diversity enters every kingdom known to man. The mineral, vegetable, animal, and human all mirror it forth. But strange it is that man does not know its true meaning. That diversity which God intended as the cause of beauty and attraction man makes the occasion of dispersion and avoidance. When discord reigns among the lower elements of creation, fires, storms, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions follow. Discord among the higher elements bring cataclysms like the great war, with its awful toll of treasure and blood. Even the wars among the lower elements grow out of the spiritual dissensions of men. The law of correspondence controls the realms. When peace and love reign over the hearts of humanity, even the natural elements will respond to these higher vibrations of men. In the new day that has dawned, so clear will be the light of knowledge and so great the power of love that men will count it the highest honor to serve their fellows. Equally the greatest hurt that one may feel will be the harm one does himself in causing grief to his brothers. The one color which never fades is that of service. Those who are kind, wisely, sincerely, helpfully, for the sake of God, exalt their stations—in all the worlds. Although prejudices visibly cause great hardship and difficulties, their greatest tragedies are subjective and within. Hate prevents refreshing sleep, impairs the digestion, dwarfs the mind, cankers the soul, disturbs the family, alienates friends and increases foes. The training of the real educator awakens to the real danger of prejudice. Those who know will aim to avoid it as they would a pestilential disease. But when men are unaware of this subjective harm it is more difficult for them to abandon their prejudices than to sacrifice possessions or even life. The reward, however, of overcoming so unhappy a condition is on a par with is difficulty. Freedom from this unhappy state is the true nobility of man. Instead of being the slave of nature and the captive of the earth, the spirit may soar through the boundless worlds of God on wings of light. He may be the companions of those who dwell in celestial worlds. But this freedom depends upon the discovery of the mystery of creation and obedience to heavenly laws, unfolding a joy beyond one's wildest dream. The gentlest, the greatest, the happiest spirits of the world today are those who have a clear vision of human brotherhood. This is the reality of humanity. "It is that universal unity which is the oneness of the kingdom of the human race, the basic harmony of the world, and the appearance fo the bounty of the Almighty." "God is the creator of all. Before God all are but servants of the one God, and God is compassionate toward them all. Therefore we must act in the utmost kindness and affection toward all the nations of the world. We must set aside all fanaticism and religious prejudices. We must forget all national prejudices. We must forget all native prejudices. This earth is but one part, one sphere, one nativity, and all mankind are but the descendants of one Father. All are created by God, and God is compassionate unto all. Therefore, if one offends another, indeed, he offends God. God wishes all hearts to be rejoiced; that all mankind live in the utmost happiness; that every individual member of human society shall live in the utmost felicity and joy. But that which prevents men from being happy together is racial prejudice, sectional and sectarian prejudice, struggle for existence, unkindness of one to another. * * * * " "Your efforts must be lofty! Exert yourselves with heart and soul, so that perciance through your efforts the light of universal peace may shine and this darkness of estrangement and enmity may be dispelled from amongst men; so that all men may become as one family and be kind to one another." U. S. TREASURY PETITION. Mrs. Virginia White Speel not a Party To It. The Bee, having concluded its invesaigaaion, is now ready to give its readers the truth concerning the petition which was framed by the employees of the Treasury Department. The following letter, from Mrs. Virginia White Speel, in reply to the one which follows it from Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, furnishes conclusive proof that she is not a party to it. She states in unmistakable terms that she has neither seen nor signed such a petition: The Republican State Committee In and for the District of Columbia. 1628 19th Street Northwest. Washington, D. C., April 7, 1921. The Hon. Martin C. Ansorge. My Dear Sir: Up to date no petition has been presented to me regarding the appointment of Registrar of the Treasury of the United States. I have no jurisdiction in this matter whatever; my chairmanship is in and for the District of Columbia. This position of Registrar is wholly within the National scope and must thus be considered. The colored people of the District of Columbia perfectly understand my position. I have explained it to them. They know I am just and fair and try to deal just with all my fellowmen, and also that when I give my word I keep it. I have signed or seen no such petition as the one to which you refer. Yours very truly, VIRGINIA WHITE SPEEL, Chairman Woman's Republican Committee in and for the District of Columbia. Mrs. Virginia White Speel, Chairman National Woman's Republican Committee, District of Columbia, 1516 K Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. Dear Madam: The petition addressed to you and forwarded to members of Congress, opposing the appointment of a Registrar of the United States Treasury solely because of color, is a step backward fifty years, and is in violation of the spirit and letter of the United States Constitution. The petition does not attack the character or ability of the proposed appointee, and admits that on four former occasions the Register of the Treasury has been a colored citizen. It is not claimed that any of these men served without credit and distinction. It is now claimed that the appointment of a colored Registrar would be "intolerable." In the World War just won, Americans of all races, creeds and colors fought side by side on the battlefields of France for the preservation of liberty, and as sharers of the common burles of citizenship, should share equally the protection and enjoyment of every right conferred upon them by the Constitution. What better way to show the admiration of the American people for the gallantry and bravery of our colored soldiers in Mexico and in the World War than to reward a representative citizen of their race to this appointive office. The Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, pleaded for enlightened social justice. To now oppose an appointment because of race, creed, or color is in direct violation of that platform, and is contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The Twenty-first Congressional District of New York, which elected me to Congress, comprises over one hundred thousand registered voters, and a half million people, and about twenty per cent of these are colored. On their behalf and as an American citizen, it is my duty and my privilege to protest against this appeal to race prejudice. On behalf of the eleven million colored people throughout the United States, and in the interest of a United America, I give notice that I shall, during my term of office, protest against any appeals to race prejudice, and to any discrimination based solely upon race, creed or color. Very truly yours, MARTIN C. ANSORE. Of the petition itself, which seems to have originated among some of the hold-over employees of the outgoing administration, the leading officials of the Treasury Department and the administration in general seem to know nothing except such information as has been furnished them through their friends. Owing to the exceedingly great humanity which has been manifested by the administration to date, The Bee feels that it neither favors nor sanctions any such high-handed procedure. Mrs. Speel's policy toward the colored American, as published in The Bee of November 13, 1920, when the late W. Calvin Chase, Sr., was editing The Bee, is as follows Successful Campaign. The people of this city heartily congratulate Mrs. Virginia White Speel, chairman of the woman's campaign in and for the District, and her associates, Mrs. Logan Tucker, daughter of the late John A. Logan; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, a member of the State committee for the District, and others for the successful campaign work done under their leadership for the women of the District in the interest of our President-elect and Vice-President-elect, Harding and Coolidge. At Republican headquarters, 1412 H street, Mrs. Speel and her associates, although as busy and industrious as bees, were courteous and helpful to all who sought information. These broad-minded women who work untiringly for their country's good, know no race not creed, but faithfully serve all who enter their headquarters. These women worked hard in the neighborhoring States with women who had a vote. With such women as these for leaders in District affairs, it should mark the dawn of a new and better era for all peoples. Long may they live! While 19.33 per cent of unskilled colored American labor in the country joined the army of unemployed during the last three months of industrial depression, only 2.63 per cent of the skilled labor was thus affected. This is a most interesting deduction from an emergency survey of selected industries made by the Department of Labor. "This fact," summarizes the report, "is strong evidence of the growing inclusion and retention of colored workers and should act as an encouraging sign to colored labor, that gained a foothold in the skilled group." Disposition to apply themselves to early road construction and repairing and to return to agricultural pursuits has had an effect to reduce in some measure the number of colored unemployed. Reports from Richmond, Va., say that a revival of the building industry of that place has reduced the number of involuntary unemployed people among colored workers to practically zero. The Calumet district, of which Chicago is the center, leads in the number of colored unemployed, with an approximation of 15,000. In Michigan the unemployment of colored people is given as having been decreased by 2,530. In the Pittsburgh district estimates indicate that the average unemployed colored labor is 4,500. On March 31, 1921, in that district, there were 2,000 of these workers "absolutely unemployed." MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE. The Bee is very much gratified to know that Sylvester L. McLaurin is being considered as one of the two colored-Americans for appointment as Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. He is in every way qualified for the position. There are eight judicial positions in the District of Columbia below the Supreme Court. There is one vacancy to be filled. If President Harding sees fit to apooint Mr. McLaurin it will be very gratifying to the colored people of the District. MISS MILLER DEAD. Miss. Elsie Miller (Mrs. Brown), of the six musical Millers, who played so beautifully on the organ chimes bells, died at her parents' residence, 1816 Eleventh street northwest, April 26th, at 1.50 a. m. eer St THE WORLD OF MUSIC By.

The Zihlman bill is for the purpose of providing one day of rest in. sever for certain factory and mercantile em: ployes in private ethployment withit the, District of Columbia. Me,.

F- Street, Northwest : TO INVESTIGATE THE SUBJECT OF EYNCHING Bill to Create a Commission, in Ac- cordance ‘with President's Rec- ommendation Introduced by Congressman Ansgore. - A bill hag been introduced in the House of Representatives by, Con- gressman Martin C. Ansgore, of the Twenty-first Congressional District, creating a commission to’ be called “The Joint Commission on Lnching,” to embrace representatives of the white and colored races to investigate the subject of lynching, and to report to Congress on or before. January 1, 1922, ‘legislative measures. -intended and designed to’ prevent, -discourage, and to punish lynching. Congressman Ansgorge introduced the bill in accordance with President '‘Harding’s. Tecommendation to the joint’ session of Congtess on April 12, 1921, approving the proposal for the creation of a commission embracing representatives of the white and Af- rican racés, to study and report on the: subject of lynching. _ The ‘bill- of Congressman provides that the commission shall be known as the Joint Commission on Lynch- ing, and shall consist of five members appointed by’ the President, by and with ‘the advicé and, consent of the Senate, as soon after the enactment of .the law as is practicable. The members of the corfmission shall sérve without salary’ except that one of the commissioners, to be desig- nated by the President, shall act as sectetary and shall receive a salary at the rate of $5,000 per annum, The commission may employ such secretaries, stenographers, and other assistants, and may rent such: offices, purchase such books, stationery, and other supplies, and have such” print- ing and binding done as the gommis- sion may deem necessary to \accom- plish the purposes for which it is created. The commission may au- thorize* its. members or employes to trayel in the United States on the business of the commission. The meimbers of the commission shall be paid’ their actual traveling and -other necessary expenses incurred in con- nection with the work of the commis- sion. ‘The commission may, as.a whole ‘or by subcommittees of the.commis- sion duly appointed, hold hearings anywhere in the United States, may send for persons and papers, admin- ister oaths, sumnion and compel the attendance of witnesses, and compel testimony. a : The commission may, from time to time, report to the President its fiid- ings and recommendations, and not later than, January Ist, 1922, -shall’ make a final report including its rec-| ommendations and the testimony taken by it, and the term of the com- mission shall thereupon expire.: ‘The commission . shall conduct a general inuiry into the subject of lynching in the United States, and the causese thereof. ‘The: commis- sion shall also consider and report its conclusions .with respect to the adequacy of the means now employed for the prevention of lynchings, the remedies availible for théir avoid- ance, and’ shall recommend to Con- gress legislative measures intended and designed to: prevent and dis- courage lynching and to punish: its commission. ‘The bill also provides for an ap- propriation of $100,000 for use. of the comtnission, to be available imnie- diately upon its appointment. “The crime of lynching is a blot upon the, escutchcon of America,” said Congressman Ansorge. “Every man, irrespective of race, creed, or color, is entitled to the due protec- tion of the law. ‘The Constitution guarantees this. Respect for law and order cannot be had when certain -of our citizens themselves’ discourage such respect. President Harding in te joint session’ of Congress, said Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly, representative democracy, and called for a humane and enlightened consideration of the uestion. He stated that the proposal for the creation of a joint commis- sion of both races has real merit, and T have‘ no.doubt that the Howse and Senate will pass the law appointing the joint, corimission. The’, joint commission, as provided for in my bill, provides for a report to thé Congress recommending legislative medsures intended and designed to prevent and discourage lynching and to punish’ its commission.” — - To Prevent Old Age ° Coming too Soon! “Toxins (poisons) in the blood are thrown out by the kidneys, The: kid- neys act as filters for such poisons, If you wish to prevent old age coming too soon and increase your chances for a long life, you should drink plenty of pure-water and take a little ‘An-uric,'"” says the famous Dr, Pierce of Buffalo, N, ¥. ‘When suffering from backache, fre- quent or scanty. urine, rheumatic pains here or tifere, or that constant tired,- worn-out feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain a little .“Anuric” from your nearest druggist and you will quickly notice the grand results.

Rulevards of Seventh street, Four- NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. The W. A. A. C. P. is doing a noble work for the social uplift of the 'colored-American. Without any disposition whatever to take from it one thing that properly belongs to it for any service it performs in its agitation for human rights. The Bee thinks that it would be wise in some of its branches not to go too far in antagonizing the Republican administration and Republicans in general. Noted Republicans have been interesting themselves for years back on all of the problems for the betterment of the colored-American. It was Congresman Tinkham who has been for a long while interesting himself on the subject of disfranchisement. The Bee gives Congressman Tinkham himself full credit for his work and his attitude. It also gives credit to Attorney General Dougherty as regards the peonage prosecutions. His record in Ohio proves him to be a man of law enforcement regardless of color. He has asserted that he is going to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The real commendation, however. The Bee gives to the present Republican administration for pulling these constitutional laws which have been in existence for years back under other administrations over the top. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was functioning when some of its foremost officials and leaders helped to put Mr. Wilson in office, and yet this association could point to little or nothing that was put across under the former -President. The Bee was all the while with Frederick Douglass who declared that "the Republican party is, the ship and all else the sea." For years The Bee has been printing truths about peonage and disfranchisement and has been asserting that relief must come through the Republican party. The Bee believed that the hour would arrive when the Republican party would face and meet the Southern question. The Bee did not believe that the unselfish work of Republican leaders, who stood for justice, would be in vain. The Bee also believed in men like Blaine, Reed, Clarkson and Foraker, and that their good work would live. The Bee has believed in men like George Holden, Tinkham, Joseph C. Manning, Editor George B. Lockwood, Senator George H. Moses, and others, who have kept the issue of human justice at the forefront in the Republican party. The Bee looks to the Republican administration and to the leaders of the Republican party for the results to come. The Bee is also regardful of the fact that, for many long years, under trying circumstances and often great hardship and sacrifice, there have been other weekly papers besides The Bee standing for the welfare of the colored people; and to the colored men who have edited and who have published these papers, there must come unstinted praise for their great labor in upholding the rights and in upholding the Republican party. Colored people will not forget this service and will not underestimate their leadership. The Bee is unwilling to yield all leadership in the past and present to the N. A. A. C. P. or to rely solely upon them as directing matters of political policy affecting colored people. It is the Republican administration that must stop lynching. The National Association can not do it. The correction of all these wrongs will be the resultant of years of appeal and of sacrifice of every leader and of many forces that have appealed for the right. It will date back to where John Brown had his day in court. It will be because "his soul goes marching on," together with the souls of Garrison, Sumner, Lincoln and all those like them. Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson, president of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention, with headquarters at Philadelphia, Pa., and Dr. J. T. King, president of the Virginia Baptist Missionary Convention, with headquarters at Richmond, Va., made great speeches before the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, president, and Dr. J. I. Loving, secretary. In their addresses were many wholesome and instructive things said for the good of the church and the race in general. Both speakers dwelt at length upon the importance and work of their respective conventions.

Thoroughfare: Best of Photoplaya Seventh Street Owned by a Lee Man h CAUSES TROUBLE IN HARLEM. What is apparently the most flagrant and outrageous case of Woodrow Wilsonism that has affected Greater New York, is the wholesale persecution, dismissal, arrest and imprisonment of colored American civil service employees at the army base in Brooklyn. More than four hundred colored Americans have been dismissed, while any number have been arrested and imprisoned on what you might term as frame-up charges. Every colored American since the reign of terror carried on by Colonel Hart, caught wearing either an army shoe or discarded army cap or sweater, has been arrested or dismissed. A large number of these employees waited last Saturday evening for Alderman Harris and laid their case before him. The alderman has taken the matter up with Secretary Weeks of this city and sent him the following telegram: "Secretary of War John Weeks, "War Dept., Washington, D. C. "Colonel Hart, Woodrow Wilson hangover at army base, Brooklyn, is creating a reign of terror among the civil service employees under him by their wholesale arrest and dismissal on pretext. Am getting full particulars for your information, but ask you in the meanwhile to stop this rustless persecution of colored men. "Alderman George W. Harris, "135 W. 135th street." Every colored American who has been treated unjust and dismissed or arrested is asked to communicate at once with Secretary of War Weeks, who will be asked to make a complete investigation, restore the outraged employees, and punish those responsible in any way for their persecution. THE STATE HOTEL A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. The Teacher Training Department The Grammar School The Divinity School The Academy The Commercial Department The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Home Economics The Department of Music The Department of Social Service PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA It was the Fifteenth New York Colored Regiment that originated the slogan "Let's Gol" during the war. Now, would it not be a good idea if the brethren of sombre hue complexion who gathered here from various parts of the country and who are here in this old town yet, doing a watchful waiting stunt for appointment to office by the President, just to add "Home" to that slogan and say, "Let's Go Honeil" and really put it in practice? I think so. You see, a President gets a very poor notion concerning the fellow who has nothing more to do than to leave his home and hang around Washington for weeks and months, hoping for a political appointment. He just naturally does not reckon that such fellows are the timber he is looking for to build up a strong administration. And, also, don't you know it is a matter of record, that during the three preceding Republican administrations the sombre hue complexion brethren that copped out an appointment were those who just remained, away back home, attending to their knitting, who got the appointments? Just reflect on this, you brethren who have foregathered here from various sections, and who are here yet hoping for presidential lightning to strike you. You all, before your finances run too low, had better solemnly say, "Let's go home," and after you have said it, pack up your little portmanteau and hie yourself to the Union Station and catch the first rattler that goes in the direction of your home. There isn't going to be any hurry appointments and the first snow may be falling next fall before Warren H. gets around to Ham's quarters. My good and esteemed fellow townsman, James A. Cobb, who whooped things up for General Wood around these diggings before the national convention, keeps a weather eye open every morning for the postman, hoping he will bring him a little billet deux from the Department of Justice, saying: "Cobbie, old boy, it gives us pleasure to inform you that you have this day been appointed assistant United States district attorney for this little old District of Columbia." Now, when, and we say "when," Cobbie receives such a letter it will be a case of a swell feed given by this talented though confirmed bachelor, to his many friends around this here balliwick, and it is hinted that Armand Scott has already tentatively been selected as the toastmaster. Now, Cobbie may have made a good record when he held that office a decade ago, but did it ever occur to you that when he was appointed before, Charley Bonepart, of French descent, and therefore somewhat partia to Hamites, was Attorney General and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who recognized the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as the chief recommender, was holding down that presidential chair? The "Booker Wash inptites" were strong in them days—took everything in sight—always held a royal flush; but since then that mighty oliarchy has become sort of disintegrated and scattered, and ain't so powerful-like as they used to be. But here's hoping that Jeems lands the job, and that Armand Scott does the toastmaster stunt at the feed Cobbie will give in honor of his appointment. The wordy war between Mrs. Randolph, of New Jersey, and our own Mrs. Mary, Church Terrell constitutes another exhibit that women, in politics, will wrangle and jangle just like men. Mrs. Randolph said Mrs. Terrell "didn't," and Mrs. Terrell said "I did," and there you are—just a case of veracity, and no competent judge to decide "which is which and which is tother." When men and women begin to air their personal differences in the public-press, passing the buck right and left, and calling each other, in the most refined terms, a prevaricator, in just naturally makes you recall that little bit of poetry in McGuffey's old time Fourth Reader: "Oh, how one ugly trick has spoiled the sweetest and the best." A fearful spectre was removed from the vision of many of the Hamite applicants for big offices when Dr. Emmett J. Scott, LL. B., D. D., etc., took his pen in hand and announced that he was not a candidate for any office our old college chum. Warren G., had at his bestowal. So long as dear old Emmett occupied the stage as a reported receptive candidate, the rest of the bunch who have their eyes "sot" on the ministership to Haiti were afraid to bet a German mark on their own hand, and you know a German mark ain't worth two hurrahs in hades. Now that Emmett has "took hisself" voluntarily out of the scrimmage and announces that he is satisfied with that $4,500 he gets from Howard University, and the royalties from his history of the Negro in the war, the rest of the clan, even including James Weldon Johnson, are breathing a little easier. And Bill Lewis, also, from down Bostonward, says he has sufficient divorce cases and petty larceny cases on hand to make him respectable a living as to make him impervious to that little $5,000 he used to draw as Assistant Attorney General. And now comes another entry from out there in Ohio, a fellow by the name of Peter McGowan, for the ministership to Liberia. McGowan, contrary to any suggestion his patronymic might raise, is a Simon-pure Afro-American, with emphasis on "Afro." But he writes to his Congressman here at Washington, saying: "Personally, I do not desire or even care for this appointment, but my wife, whom I promised about twenty-five years ago to do everything I could to make her happy, demands that I take her over to the Liberian, court to have her crowned queen of the "Hoodoos." Now, can you beat it? Ohio presents another world-beater as applicant for the Mouravian post, an itinerant private detective who can't spell "diplomacy" without raising a question as to old Noah Webster's fallibility, who roams around under the name of Thomas Vance. But, of course, they can't all go to Liberia. And another Thomas—Thomas Fleming, of Cleveland—contrary to a reported agreement with Charley Cottrill, is beating down the bushes, scaling fences, and leaping over bogs and morasses in an effort to land the job of Minister to Haiti. As yet neither of the Thames, or Peter McGowan, either, for that matter, have landed, and as long as there is anxiety there is doubt. That's my own coinage, and is as logical as the old saying that "As long as there is life, there is hope." If Prexy Harding appoints referees to advise him as to appointments to Georgia, then our esteemed brother, Henry Lincoln Johnson, as national committeeman for Tom Watson's State, will be like the fellow that was "all dressed up, but no place to go." If the report is true, the only thing Link can do is to hang around until the next national convention. He says he won't resign—not for any office—and I hope he means it. As a lawyer, he ought to be able to get a few divorce cases, breach of promise cases, and a few "fornicapoop" cases to make him a living without bothering about any office. Tom Jones, Bill Houston, and Armand Scott could give him all the cases they are too busy to handle, and Tom Clarke could put him next to a few million-dollar schemes out of which he could get a good "commish." Stick it out Brother Link! THOUSANDS LEAVE SOUTH; EXODUS FELT IN GEORGIA (By the Continental Press.) Atlanta, Ga., April 26.—The testimony brought out at the trial of Planter Williams, who was convicted of murder of farm hands last week at Covington, Ga., has caused untold thousands to prepare to leave this section of the country. It is hard for any one to estimate the shortage of farm labor that Georgia will see in the course of the next few months. Realizing this, pressure has been brought to bear on the authorities here and elsewhere in the State to do something to offset this exodus. No matter what effort is made to bring the guilty white men to the bar of justice the exodus will continue. Farm hands, will take their chances in the North and the West rather than suffer the fate of the men on Williams' plantation. The peonage system, although unbelievable to the most skeptical white people in the North, is in full swing down here. This was brought out in the trial of Williams and admitted by the prisoners on the witness stand that "most Georgia farmers were guilty." The only remedy of this is new peonage laws for the State and a thorough investigation by the Federal authorities. Unsuspecting men, and women have been arrested on the streets of this city and Macon as well as smaller cities, lodged in jail and kept confined, there without the possible chance of getting in communication with either relatives, friends or lawyers. Brought before the supposed bar of justice they are fined for disorderly conduct and placed in the stockade owing to their inability to get to friends to pay their fine. From the stockade white farmers get their labor by "bonding" out these prisoners. They are taken to plantations, where they work out their fine. As there is no accounting made, fines of twenty-five and fifty dollars often take years to work out. This system is made rather easy because clothing, eatables (such as they are) are distributed from a general store, owned by the planter, who always sees that these meager necessities in life are kept high enough to keep his farm hands always in his debt. There is always a close watch kept on the laborers for fear they might escape. Those having a bit of knowledge of what to do or a tendency to demand a fair treatment meet with the same fate as those killed on the Williams farm. It is an easy matter here for a white man to convince the authorities that they were attacked or that his wife or daughter had been attacked and he was forced to kill in self-defense. A white man's word is never questioned here. Williams Verdict Unpopular. The verdict of the jurors in the Williams case is met with disapproval by those of color here and about this section of the country. They feel the world at large knew Williams was guilty and should have hanged, yet he was given a life sentence—a possible chance to escape altogether, as his lawyers will go before the Newton county bar and ask for a retrial on the 30th of the month. Should the expected happen and Judge Hutcheson refuse to grant him another trial, the case will be taken before the Georgia Supreme Court. There is no telling what the outcome will be. Thousands will not wait to see. Georgia's past history has been of such it would be unwise to wait. They feel it would be far better to freeze or die in the North than to be drowned or killed like dogs in the South. dogs in the South. And not only Georgia; but in Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and practically all the Southern States does this system of peonage and death run rampant. The Elaine riot of last summer was only one case where farm hands had banded together for a fair deal. The activities of the Ku Klux Klan has been of such a nature that in many cases men have been afraid to raise their hats to women of their own race when certain white men have been near. The sole thought of the South seems to be the "purity of the white race" and "debauchery of Negro womanhood." The ministers, who have been advising their congregations to remain quiet and pray for the salvation of their souls, are growing into disfavor. The race is stirred to action and from now on their song is: "From Georgia's stormy banks I go. I told the South goodbye; I bid the North winds I'm going where the North winds Young Ladies' Immediate Relief Society Honors Its Organizer and President.
