CHAIRMAN PARKER oUsTED.
Went Too Far In Declaring For Demo
cratic Mayoralty Candidate.

News recently came from Spokane
Wash, to the effect that Charles Par
ker, who is the publisher of the Spo-
kane Citizen, had been ousted from the
Craftsmanship of the executive commit
tee of the Nonpartisan Improvement
Club of Afro-American Voters because
he publicly declared himself in favor
of n. S. Pratt, who is the Democratic
candidate for mayor of that city. Mr..
Parker is one of the leaders among the
Negro voters and claims to know a
thing or two about what the Negro
ought to do in local politics; but.
strange to say, at meeting of the
committee Mr. Parker was informed
that he had gone too far in announc-
ing his Endorsement of any candidate
without first consulting with the other
members of the committee and was
asked to resign. This he refused to
do, after which the committee remov-
ed him and named in his place o. B.
Clayborne.
While the club has not made an in
dorsement Of either ONO or Pratt, it
is claimed majority of the club are
in favor Of the former candidate.

We make this statement from the fact
that northern white mobs shoot and

Identification and then murder"
Brother Lewey is dead wrong. This
is government Of the people. for the
people and by the people The Negro
Is not so much concerned about fed

THE SOUTH TO PROTECT THE
NEGRO AND LET THE COURTS

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. 24.-Speak-
ing today at the Tennessee state fair,
Secretary of War ]. M. Dickinson
paid high tribute to the executive
ability of President Taft and then
went into the race problem.
Mr.. Dickinson said in part:
"It is idle to talk of settlement
Of the negro question in the sense
that all agitation and controversy
will cease. The courts. and not mobs,
should punish lawbreakers. Negroes
should be protected in their property
rights. settled with justly and gov
erned by the constituted authorities.
The cankering virus of mob rule, no
matter against what evils directed,
destroys all wholesome life in the
body polite and makes it polluted
wreck. swayed by passion and in
capable of the ordinary administra-
tion Of law.
There can be no wholesale control
of the negro question of a perma-
nent character that does not appeal
to the sense of justice of the people
of all the states.
1T is unfortunate for the south
that some of her people irritate the
minds of and repel those who are In
clined our way and are leaders of
public thought, by sanctioning law
less brutality. Some of the most en-
lightened among the negro race coun-
sci their people to abstain from poll
tics and to apply themselves to the
Offices Of good citizenship. They in
dicate willingness to withdraw
from political affiliation, but ask JUS
tice protection and orderly admins
tration of the law.
Men of character and patriotism
throughout the south could not serve
their people better than by making a
peaceful sentiment SO overwhelming
that the lawless will find that they
are regarded as the greatest of enc
mics to the welfare of the SOUTH
