Longing for the land of cotton and watermelons proved greater than fear of punishment for crime so George Collier, a Negro, walked into the Southern police station and informed officers that he is wanted for murder in Lexington, Kv. Thinking his story a ruse to get transportation home, police investigated the story and found it true. He is being held for the Lexington police.

ADVERTISE IN THE OLDEST PAPER ON THE PACIFIC COAST TO GET RESULTS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 1928 EDITORIAL PAGE Some time ago this paper called attention to an editorial appearing in the searing Eagle, which when read between the lines put Brother Bass in the running for the seat now occupied by Fred Roberts, Assemblyman from the 74th district. Now comes a local paper announcing the candidacy of a new Richmond. Gentlemen, choose your weapons, but let us hope that the race will not suffer as their interest is pen mount to any individual's ambition. The several commercial organizations of the State are being lined up in opposition to the bill pending in the U.S. Senate, to place Mexico under the immigration quota law. These objectors are using the methods that were used when the labor element of the Pacific coast was endeavoring to restrict Chinese immigration. Their argument is that the industries of the State will suffer as there is no desirable labor to harvest the fruit crop, and there seems to be fear that the Negro from the South might be brought into the State in large numbers thus creating a social problem, as one of these leaders expressed it. While we do not believe in making this a race issue, we cannot remain silent while our group is traduced. These gentlemen seem to lose sight of the fact that the Negro is an American citizen and in time of national peril he has never been found wanting. But it seems that he is not good enough to gather fruit because he will create a 'social problem.' The fact of the matter is that certain interests care little for American standards if they can secure cheap labor. This bill should become a law, not because it is aimed at a certain race, but because all aliens should be treated alike, and the country should be rid of undesirable labor The Pan-American conference now holding forth in Cuba where representatives of 21 countries are discussing the questions that affect this hemisphere, is giving the people of this country something to think about and the fact that President Coolidge journeyed 1200 miles to be present at the opening is significant. Of course our government is anxious to have these Latin countries believe that our intentions are entirely peaceful, though a few years ago eleven of these Latin States' North American officials were directing the financial policies, in six of them armed forces of the United States were backing up financial agents. At the present time, parliamentary government is still suspended in Haiti, and the American high commissioner virtually runs the government. Our marines, sent to Nicaragua to preserve the peace pending an election, are killing and being killed by Nicaraguan insurgents who do not relish the arrange- ment. Is there any wonder that these conditions breed discontent and hostility toward this country? The Western Outlook, published at San Francisco, has a deal to say about the patronage situation, and cites the two concessions on the water-front at San Francisco. To our mind, however, this situation fails to figure, entirelv so, as political recognition worth while for the group....Los Angeles Eagle. We are not so unsophisticated as to think that the two concessions on the water-front are worth-while political recognition from the Young administration. But so long as the brand of rule leaders are sati-fied with a boot-black stand and a hot-dog concession, the colored brother will fail to figure. We have often told small-brained busybodies who go around talking about the "Little Union" has nothing in it, that literary values are rarely regulated by the size of the production. Any old diamond is worth more than a load of coal, and some worth as much as a skyscraper Many newspapers of 8, 12, 16 or 24 pages do not carry a single article worth reading or preserving. But that is another story. This week, on Monday, if you please, on the editorial page of the Enquirer among articles from leading dailies of the country, appears what the Union had to say about the Remas case. Just think of that, if you please-Comment of a Negro paper about a matter concerning which there is no phase of the race question published in one of the group's dailies in the world. Now with you people who do not know a good thing when you see it be good. Editor Dabney displays enough originality at times in his first-page comments to command reproduction in any daily.—New York Age. That the best of goods come in small parcels is an old saying and this is applicable to newspapers. But why discuss this? Brother Dabney is right. REAPING Lynching is an abomination to the nation. It is a blot and a curse to our civilization. It cures no evil, redresses no wrong. It is never justifiable. It is more harmful to the living than to the dead. From De Quincy, La., comes a story of a small group of white boys who sought to amuse themselves by engaging in the pastime of lynching one of their number, "like they do biggers." A rope was suspended from a tree nine men in the city were a peek of Garlan Gillis, J. 10, and he was of all roun. The rest of the cave was a closet. Their shining ability on their com- to speak alarmed them. vince Gillis as now in the tree he was dead a time not to preserve a new life. The day of God are awarded."—S. A. L.

A recent essayist divides people into minns and plus people. The minus people are those who leave us poorer, and the plus are those who leave us richer. Among the latter, in the common wavs of life, where there is little applause and many a weary hour, are those who have appreciating grace. It helps folks wonderfully when things are difficult, to know that somebody appreciates. It is always easier to march to music. A word of appreciation now and then would make all the difference to thousands, whose dav's round is very largely drudgery. Just as everybody years for love so everybody years to be appreciated. The drudgeries of life are always lightened when somebody understands. There are few nobler heroisms in the world than that of those who have to toil for years without a single appreciative word. This gift of appreciation is always a mark of a noble, generous nature just as constant habit of depreciating is the sign manual of littleness. To depreciate is not to criticise, for true criticism has an eve for beauty. To depreciate is to betray an uneasy feeling of inferiority. But generous natures are always forgetful and are touched with certain sweet serenity and so have the heart at leisure from itself. Nothing is harder than to appreciate richly the men who are doing the same work as we are. Little souls delight in fault-finding big ones in appreciating. Mean folk are always minus folk; great hearts are the plus ones. They add to life and make it richer; they call out all that is best within us by the sunshine of their appreciation. NEGRO BANK IS SUCCESS Lexington, Miss.—Another year of success has been concluded by Lexington's Colored National Farm Association, when 100 members attended the annual meeting for the review of business and election of officers.

THE NATIONAL FARM NEWS gives the farmer and the rural town man an all-agricultural survey of the week's news, with a leaning toward the economics of production and marketing. The editorial staff is in close touch with the marketing machinery of the Agricultural Department and all the heads of the various cooperative marketing associations that are located in Washington. WASHINGTON is the great clearing house of farm news. Every day brings the National Government into more intimate relationship with the country's basic industry—farming. Congress is just at the beginning of its real farm legislation. The wild scramble of blooms and panaceas that marked the past few years has subsided. But from now on there will be a steady, constructive program developed for the permanent improvement of farming. Washington is the headquarters of the United States Department of Agriculture. This vast governmental agency is constantly at work on farm problems. It concerns itself not only with production, but with the business side of agriculture. Washington, too, is the headquarters of many other branches of the Federal Government whose work touches in many vital ways the business of the farmers. Most of the big farmers' organizations recognize the strategic advantage of being close to the governmental wheels. They maintain headquarters at the National Capital. Washington is the center of farm news. In addition to its news, The National Farm News Carries some carefully conducted departments. For the housewife there is the women's page, where interests and matters pertaining to the household are discussed. In addition to these features is an excellent legal department. Advice on knotty problems may be had for the asking, given by competent lawyers engaged in daily practice. Then, too, there is a "Question and Answer" department for agricultural information. You may send in any question and it will be answered as quickly as space will permit. The Congressional Library is here and it has the largest collection of books in America. The National Farm News is equipped to perform a real service for the farmer and to meet a real need in his business. The subscription price is only $1.00 per year.
