THE CASE OF DR.. cRUM

The Monrovia, Liberia Register,
the official mouthpiece Of the govern
ment says that there have been many
many anathemas thrown in our face
by hostile and malicious people and
merciless editors. Many of these have
stuck with the discontinue and un-
pleasantness of grimy mud. But the
most CALLING of all, by reason OF the
unexpected source, was that Of the
American Minister, w. D. Crum, at
the luncheon following the annual
message of President Barclay, when
the Minister expressed the hope that
the time would soon come when
Liberia would become more than
a name" Such a statement clearly
implies that ever since our birth as
a republic up to the present that
what we so proudly and periodically
boast of as the Republic Of Liberia"
is merely a understanding brass
and a tinkling cymbal." We would
not be so simple as to accuse the
American Government of holding
such an opinion of this government,
for the manifestations Of interest and
goodwill that nation has given US re-
moves all such doubt from the mind
of the most skeptical. But We would
like to remind the Minister that he
is here representing this great ma
tional friend, and ought to realize
that every time he utters speech In
public he does so with the authority
and power vested in him by his gov
eminent. Moreover, he on this &C.
casion was speaking in behalf Of the
entire Diplomatic and Consular
Corps near this government. Does he
mean to incriminate these represen-
tatives and say they too regard
Liberia as a name only?"
DIR. Crum has not given any reason
for his remarks. But we feel that he
should. Speak up! Crum, an 'spress
yo'sef.

ROOT AND BACON CLASH.

May Annul the Grandfather Clause.
Through the injection Of the Negro
question into discussion into the
Senate of the Borah resolution, which
provides for senators by direct vote,
two senators, Root Of New York and
Bacon of Georgia clashed in contro-
versy. Root says THAT the National
Government could not afford to bear
away the privileges Of supervising
senatorial election in the South, also,
in speaking of the 14th and 18th
Amendments, said things happen in
the Southern States, which should not
be permitted by the states, and which
should be corrected, IL not, by the
states themselves. then, by the Ma.
tional Government"
Sen. Bacon, requested desire for
specifications regarding things which
happened in the South, Sen. Root was
evidently awaiting the call and Sen.
Bacon addressed himself directly to
Mr.. Root, and asked:
What are the things to which the
senator refers?"
Mr.. Roots response was in no wise
evasive or indirect. Recalling the sub
stance Of his previous remarks he
said that he had reference to the
voluntary surrender by the govern.
ment of the power to enforce the pro-
lection of the suffrage privileges of
the Southern negroes. Facing Senator
Bacon and speaking with great de-
liberation, Mr.. Root enumerated the
peonage system, the lynching of ne
groes and the DISTINGUISHING provi-
sions, such as the grandfather's
clauses in the constitutions of many
of the Southern states, as some of the
things calculated to deprive the black
man of that equal protection which
the constitution guarantees.
Does the senator contend for the
power of congress to annul laws now
on the statute books of the states,
such as the grandgather's clause?"
asked Mr.. Bacon.
without the slightest doubt" said
the New Yorker.
WELL" returned the Georgian, 'the
senator has certainly put us on no.
tice."
Il mean to put you and also the
country on notice." replied Mr.. Root,
speaking with force.

that honor conferred upon him by
two presidents. The second is John
@. Napier Of Nashville, Tenn, who
will assume the duties of that Office In
February. 1911.
Out Of that small group Of Negro
students that gathered in Oberlin In
the twilight Of Negro freedom under
the guidance Of the learned John Mer.
Ger Langston have come some noted
men. Bruce became United States
senator, was twice register Of the
treasury and was also recorder of
deeds for the District Of Columbia.
Settle went into the law and has at
tanned distinction as a splendid law
yer and brilliant orator.
Napier also took up the legal pro-
fession. In which he made good; then
he became a f1nancier. He founded
and Is at present the cashier Of one of
the strongest banks conducted by Ne
groes In this country.
When he goes to Washington in
February he will be amply prepared
to take up the duties that await him.
Finance is indeed the strong forte of
John G. Napier, and in this new field
Of labor he will be given greater OPP
portunities for the display Of his finan-
cial skill.
In Tennessee the name Of Napier Is
q passport Of business integrity and
confidence. His rating in Dun's and
Bradstreet's is most creditable. and his
success as a financier Is attested by
his comfortable circumstances and the
possession Of goodly portion of
worldly goods"
While his companions were in poll.
tics he was In business, and now when
his business is In such excellent shape
he turns aside to political diversion
more as a call Of duty than one of
necessity.
Mr.. Napier is no stranger to Wash
ingtonians. There he studied law In
Howard University Law school, and
there he led one Of the accomplished
daughters Of Hon. John NJ. Langston
to the altar to become his wife.
His political record is clean and
above reproach. He has been a favor
lite with both factions Of the Repub-
lican party In his state for years. In
the campaign leading up to the nomi-
nation Of candidate for president Mr..
Napier was an ardent supporter of
Judge Taft, and he contributed much
to the success Of the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Napier Is member Of the
Jeanes fund board, member Of the
board Of trustees Of Howard uni.
versity, chairman Of the executive
committee of the National Negro Bust.
ness league and is also member Of
fraternal and religious organizations.
The position Of register Of the treas.
ury Is most responsible one. The
signature Of that official must be az
fixed to the currency Of this nation.
The position has been held by three
colored men besides Mr.. Napier-B. X.
Bruce, Judson w. Lyons and William
7. Vernon.
The country's Duty to Afro Americans
Instead of asserting that 1t was a
mistake to give the Afro-American
the rights of citizenship we should
devote all our thoughts and energies to
raising him to the point to qualify him
to exercise his precious right" says
United States Senator Shelby NJ. Gull
lom. 1--WE should educate him and do
everything in our power to make a
good citizen of him. He needs encour-
agement. and we owe Il to ourselves
to do all In our power to elevate him."

WHERE MAJOR lEA0UERs
WILL DO SPRING WORK.
AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Managers Of the various pennant
chasing clubs are giving nearly all
their attention to plans for the spring
training Of their teams. With the ex-
ception of the Boston Red Sox long
training trips have been abandoned.
It has often, though not invariably,
been the case that good training trip
meant q great deal to q team. The
Chicago Cubs. for instance, won four
championships in five years and train
ed each spring at different place. In
1905 they did practically no training
at all. President Charley Murphy had
the idea that Champaign. ILL.,. would
be the proper place.
Snow drove the team out Of the col.
lege town after week Of idleness
They hurried to Vicksburg, where rain
allowed only day or so Of work.
They went to Atlanta and again were
prevented from working by rain. All
the real work the team got was in ex.
hibition games north of the Ohio river
Yet they won the peElant hands down.
Within few weeks reports will
come from the training camps lauding
the youngsters being tried out. Few
players get regular Jobs on the strength
Of the work done in the training sea-
son. They must make good In a real
bali game before they can lay any
claim to having upheld their end.

that you throw the broad mantle of

There was considerable feeling in
some quarters because Of the McKen-

finding the Toozes ready to play with
them. The fact of the matter Is that
the Toozes were notified by number
of Mckenzie players that they would
not come up. Mckenzie was notified
that If they finally decided to come up
they were to call the Toozes up on
the phone. No phone message was re-
ceived, however, and most Of the
Toozes went to Mandan to see the
big game there. However, Mckenzie
came up on it's own account and al
though they felt little sore and made
several uncomplimentary remarks
about the Toozes, the fault was their
own for not telling anyone they had
changed their minds and we're coming
to play. A game between the two
teams may be scheduled at later
date.
