ing in the current number Of the
Atlantic Monthly. The author, the
Rev. Quincy Ewing, has been. &C
coraing to. his own statement, a
dweller in the Southland for forty
years; he is, therefore, qualified to
meet the South's requirement, that
only Southern men should speak or
write about the Negro and the Negro
problem, The Rev. Ewing does not
attempt TO discuss the why's or the
sherefores Of radical antagonism In
this country, but lays bare the meat
OF The cocoanut with a temerity new
er eQualled by one who lives and has
his being so far South as he has his
residence. His is phase touched
upon very lightly, If at all, by but
few of the thousand and one writer's
who have taken their pen in hand to
enlighten the world on this much
discussed, but, seemingly, dnexhaust-
IDLE theme. If you have not read

A BETTER METHOD.
Says the Hot Springs lark,

Says the Hot Springs (Ark) Echo:
"A little less hell fire and a little
more hygiene, little less Of snowy
wings and golden slippers and more
OF the true tenets OF morality would
make the road to heaven much
palmer to the wagering eye Of erring
mankind Cleanliness is next to
Goodness" and true moral life is
what constitutes Christianity. 1t ds
better to lead man into religious
practice inteIligentIy than to scare
him into the church. God is an in
teliigent and all-wise being and to
our mind, is much better pleased
with the persuasive method than the
driving plan"
The Echo voices the sentiments of
a small, but increasing number OF
thoughtful men and women who
would have appeals from the pulpit
made to their reason rather than
to their emotions, who have passed
the period where one accepts with
out question, as the gospel truth
the preachments of another mortal
who wears his collar button behind

MIR HAzLEWOOD'S CANDIDACY
TIE Negro voters Of Charleston, o.
to bo more exact, of the Eighth ware
have an opportunity, such as never
before was presented them, to SHOW
of what stun they are made.
In this issue Of THE ADVOCATE
J. NJ. HazleWood announces his can
didacy for q member Of the city
council, subject to the action Of the
Republican primary to be held Fri
day, March 28th. Mr.. HaSlewood is
In every way competent to fill the
position to which he aspires. The
Charleston Mail says OF him:
Mr.. Lakewood is a large property
owner In the city Of Charleston, is
connected in an Official capacity with
the West Virginia Colored Institute,
is, greatly interested in the future
welfare Of Charleston and has been
one OF the most active Republicans
workers in this section Of the state.
He has been most successful in the
management of his own business at
fairs, has given the state excellent
service and his friends believe he
would make an excellent member Of
the new council
The Mail exaggera;es in no respect
in It's estimate of MI Hazlewood' 8
qualifications. AS chairman of the
Republican Campaign Committee for
this county, he personally collected
over $4,000 for the campaign fund
used in disseminating the party's
doctrine among voters of his race,
and his activity contributed largely
to The party's success at the polls.
Mr.. Lakewood has been treasu-
rer of the Board of Regents for the
West Virginia CoIored Institute for
twelve years, handling during that
time tens of thousands of the states
money. He is treasurer of Grand
Lodge Knights Of Pythias, treasurer
of the National Uniform Rank and a
member Of every civic organization
for the betterment Of the Negro race
in Charleston.
A councilman should, above all
else, be an upright business man,
one acquainted with large projects
and having the best interests of his
city at heart. Mr.. Lakewood is all
this and more and the colored voters
OF the Eighth ward will make no
mistake IT, they give him their un-
divided SUPPORT at the Primary, Fri
day, March 26th.

THE RECORDERSHIP.

Recorder Dancy's talk about being
willing to step down and out from

seven or eight years is fapdoodle,
pure and simple. He says he is will

cumbent.
THE ADVOCATE has nothing
against Mr.. Dancy but fails to see
the Justice OF making him, whose
home state contributes nothing tt
the electoral vote OF the Republican
party, a permanent fixture in one
Jof the most lucrative positions oper

RANDOLPH COUNTY's sBANFE

IN his efforts to apprehend the
Whitmer lynchers, who disgraced
their county and state, Governor
Glasscock has the best wishes of all
law-abiding citizens.
There is no provocation which
will justify the action of the RAT
dolph county mob it its dastardly
work, but the failure of that coun-
tys officials -to-pnnish members of
former mobs was the seed which
bore fruit last week. Every such
unpublished .infraction of the law
makes for the recurrence of a like
crime. 1t inculcates in a community
a disrespect for law and order which
will find expression on every posi-
Bile occasion. Let it be understood
That body of men may wreak venge-
ance with impunity upon one of their
fellows and we overthrow the very
foundations upon which government
rests. Lynch law will not confine
itself to the punishment Of those
guilty of crime, but will be appealed
to, as in Tennessee? for the settle
meat of personal grudge4 The pub
lie will be so stuffed as to have
regard for neither color nor station
and might will be, right and force

LEADER PAR EXCELLENCE.

When any Negro has heaped upon
him such encomiums by a Southern
paper as were paid Booker T. Wash
ington by the Sumter Daily Item,
it seems the heaghth Of folly to deny
longer his leadership or to question
the wisdom of his course. And this
leads to the expression of the opin-
ion long entertained by the writer
that If reason could gain the as
tendency over envy in the minds of
his detractors, there would not be
one discordant note in the PAGAN of
praise now all but universal. "Tis
true, it's pity and pity it's true" that
many of us cherish with q devotion
worthy OF a better cause, the belief
that just in the proportion we re-
tard another's progress, we advance
or own. Some Of us Will not see the
self evident truth that the &d-
vancement OF one Negro is the ad-
yancement OF the whole race. We
have not yet passed the stage where
we are willing to acknowledge that
there are others; that we are not
the only three-ring circus and hip.
podrome, the biggest show en- earth
1t would be folly to hope for IMAM.
Unity on the subject OF DR.. Washing
tons leadership, just as it would be
to expect all pigs to squeal in the
same register. 1t remains, then, fol
those Of us who have seen the light
to keep on hoping and praying tina
our brethren in darkness may, a
some time, be equally blessed.

gro Dance.

Springfield, H.. July 23.-Springfield

the action of the trustees of the park

pavilion for countless social events,

board the greatest indignation was ex-
pressed. Washington park is located
in the aristoeratic residence section of
the city. A large number of negroes
gathered at the pavilion last night in
attendance at the dance and social
function to the officers of the SSsh
regiment. now at Camp Lincoln The
strains of ragtime music rent the air
for several hours.
Society leaders intimate that the
park viii be boycotted in the future
land ii may be that events that have
lbeen planned will be Cancelled.
