Recorder Johnsons Fine Report.

Col, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Of
Georgia, Recorder OF Deeds for the
District of Columbia, has issued his
report for the calendar year of 1911,
and it makes the finest showing OF
any similar period in the history OF
the office, covering a period of over
100 years. Col. Johnson reports that
26,Io7 papers affecting title to local
real estate was offered for record in
the last twelve months. In addition
to this there are 448 incorporation
papers. The total receipts of the
office for 1911 were S45,489.35 The
number of papers filed exceeds by
nearly 1900 the number recorded IL
1910. If Congress will act favOrably
upon a bill inspired by Col. Johnson
there will be a number of salary in
creases in the Recorders Office, and
the force will be reorganized upon
an improved basis. Col. Johnson IS
a power in Georgia and will doubtless
be one of the Big Four to repre-
sent that State at the Chicago con
yention He says Georgia will send
"a solid Taft delegation to the con
vention IN June.

Major General Jones conceived the

The "Lilv-Whites1 Routed.

Much JOY Is expressed IN local po-
litical circles over the news that the
"lily-white' Republicans in Louisiana
were signally routed a few days ago
by the black and tans,' led by the
valiant Walter Y Cohen. By a de
cisiou Of the Supreme Court OF Louis
lana, it is ordered that the candidates
named by Mr. Cohen be placed on the
official ballot The 'lily-whites' op-
posed this recognition. The victory
carried great weight in the political
equation of the South. and the fight
made by Mr. Cohen viii probably be
repeated I'm other States by colOred
leaders. who are determined not to
be eliminated by a faction Of poor
whites. who wish TO make color
prerequisite for party honors. Word
comes from all Of the Southern States
that "lily-whitism must go" If fair
Dlav Is denied in the States, the Ne
gro Republicans intend TO knock at
the door OF the Chicago convention,
with credentials that will open ZIP
something that will not be wanting in

Negroes Opposed 20 Appointment of
Hook.

The colored citizens Of the coun-
pointment of Judge William c. Hook,
who. it IS given out, Is to be named
by the President as an Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. to succeed the late Justice
John Marshall Harlan Protests have
been coming III from various States,
'vOiCing objections at the hands OF
both whites and blacks. The whites
are against him because of certain
decisions touching railroad rates,
deemed to indicate a bias not COnsIs-
tent with the high office of Supreme
Justice The Negroes are opposed
to the Hook appointment on account
of his alleged hostility to the equal
rights OF the race in travelling on the
railroads. 1t Is stated that as Judge
of the Eighth Federal Judicial Dis
trict. Judge Hook rendered a deCis-
ion (IS6 Federal Reports: MCCabe
vs.. Atchison and Santa Fe Railroad)
positively denying Negroes the same
rights in travelling as other AmeTl-
cans, upholding, i'll effect, the Jim

case have been embodied in a letter
of protest against Judge Hook. pre-
pared and sent to the President by
Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean OF the Col
leee of Arts and Sciences, Howard
University. The letter has been given
wide circulation through the press.
The ColOred Ministerial Alliance,
at its weekly meeting Monday at the
Ebenezer NJ. E. Church, unanimously
adopted a resolution calling upon
President Taft not to name Judge
Hook as a member of the Supreme
Court. alleging that his recorded
views on the race question offered
no hope that he would be fair in cases
where the civic status OF the Negro
was in the scale If Judge Hook Is
appointed in spite of the strong pro-
tests that have been filed against him.
