EDITORIALS.
IN REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

No matter what may have been
the Republican principal in the
past or even now, it is fact now
that there are many leaders of
the party who do not regard or
attempt to live up to its tradit-
ional teaching, as was shown
recently in the United States
senate, when the committee on
commerce would not recommend
the appointment of DR.. Crum
whom the president appointed to
be district revenue collector at
the port in South Carolina; vet
the republicans had majority
on the committee.
There was nothing against DR..
Crum, except his color, and the
southern white men threatened
to kill him is appointed. Jones
of Nevada and Perkins of Cali
fornia were the republican trail
tors, they could offer no reason
for joining with the democrats to
assist in turning down the presi-
dents appointment, but we earn
estly hope that the Senate as u
whole will vote to confirm him,
as the republicans have good
majority. It is an imposition, a
shame, snare to have traitors
in our party. Those men are re-
publicans only for public policy
or for selfish motives and because
it is the leading party, and not
for its principals. There are
many others just like those trail
tors who have been elected to
Office by colored voters. They
are in all classes, from the little
politician to the big politician.
If Fremont, Lincoln Seward,
Garfield and Grant could see the
actions of some so called republic
can leaders they would hide their
heads in shame. If not true
republican, be honest, be fair and
reasonable and give all an equal
opportunity,

FEBRUARY AS A BIRTH

FEBRUARY AS A BIRTH
1t seems a peculiar coincidence
that the month of February has
been noted for the birth of more
distinguished, men and women
than any other one month. Those
honored American citizens have
done more to construct and build
a government than any other in
dividual have. Chief among
those is George Washington, who
was born on the 22 of February,
1881. The great work he done
and the impression is we'll known
to all who read. The next is
Abraham Lincoln, born February
II, 1917; his great and peculiar
work as an emancipation and a
saviour of his country can never
be fully estimated. Then Fred
rick Douglass, born February II,
1917, a slave bought his freedom,
was forced to leave his country,
later returned and with his
power and earnest eloquence as.
sisted in breaking the chains of
slavery from his race. Then
Mrs. Susan B. Anthony Feb. II.
All Of these and many others
of less magnitude that we. might
mention who were born beneath
this month. Those above named
left name that will enrich hui
manity down through coming
