For Shame!

Chief of Police O'Neil has caused
colored citizen to be subjected to
the third degree not only of his de-
partment, but of all the people, by
his emphatic statement that he be-
lieved Featherstone guilty of the muir
der of the Harman music teacher. He
did this before he had made full in
quiry into the alibi set up by Feath-
erstine. We find no fault with the
chief for his desperate efforts to ap-
prehend the murderer, but of the
thirty suspects arrested this negro
alone has had to suffer the public
humiliation of being branded as de-
generate, an evident criminal, an un-
desirable citizen with a bad record
and the like. O'Neil owes it to the
dignity of his office to refrain from
brandiI men as guilty until his de-
partment has ample evidence to prove
them so, even though the accused are
Negroes. 1t savors largely of preju-
dice that this one man alone has un-
dergone this experience. 1t is the
more shameless that he was SO treat
ed because the very facts he set up in
his defense were easily capable of
investigation.

REV. THOS-HAZELL'S
POSITION ON POLITICS

Mr.. Edltor:-
Apparently one of the most difficult
things to make some people under
stand is that | am not a politician.
Some time ago | had occasion to eX-
press myself relative to my position
on all public questions. Politics is a
public issue. Whenever | make a
deliverance on politics, like my ex-
pressed sentiments last fall on the
commission form of government, the
Arnold manifesto for the mayoralty
last spring and the Bull Moose party
and the Negro Sunday week, it is to
inform the hearers of my race and
especially the members of the Peo-
pies Presbyterian Church that they
may act intelligently at the polls.
Whenever the minister of the Gospel
fails to do his whole duty to all of
the people committed to his trust
as he sees that duty he is misfit
to his profession and a false prophet
of God. / was very much surprised
to observe in the columns of the
Times last Saturday that was NOM
mated by Mr.. Charles Pitschke as a
candidate for the legislature on the
state and county ticket as proposed
by the Platform or Arnold Democrats
tndI Helu lnelT convention at the
Adams hotel. 1t was not at the con-
vention. / authorized no one to NOM
mate me for the legislature or any
other political berth. Neither am
an aspirant for a political office. The
Christian ministry as profession
provides for me a greater field for
usefulness for mankind than anythin
else. l intend to remain in the pulpit
and fight politics and everything else
that is crooked and unrighteous. 1t
is for this very reason why ! relin-
quished the study of law and turned
my back on medicine some years ago.
Whilst / am willing and ready to help
a cause for righteousness sake, yet
want to be understood by the people
at large that | am d minister of the
Gospel, consecrated to the exalted
profession of the Christian ministry
and not politician. In consequence
of which | cannot under any circum-
stances accept any nomination for the
legislature or anything else that will
divorce my activities from the work
OF the ministry.

PLAIN TALK TO WORKMEN.
Hold Your Jobs-6uild Better Homes
and Churches, Says Washington.

Hold Your Jobs-6uIid Better Homes
and Churches, Says Washington.
Newport News. Va.-With rare tact
and force DR.. Booker T. Washington.
who is a master in handling men and
solving difficult problems, recently
spoke to large group of colosed men
and boys who are employed at good
wages by the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock company. DR.. Wash
ington spoke very plainly on the SUBJ
ject of colored men and boys attending
more strictly to their work.
There is distinct need OF having the
$3.50 colored men and boys cooperate
with the general manager, Homer L.
Ferguson, and other officers of the
great shipbuilding plant, who have
clearly shown. even under the most
trying conditions. their desire to give
the colored workers a square deal. The
question to be settled has not been one
of hours and wages, but of getting
them to work regularly.
A group of colored men from New
port News, headed by Walter X. Jones,
who has the respect and confidence of
white and colored people alike. brought
the matter before Major r. R. Motion
of Hampton institute, and he in turn
secured the good offices Of DR.. Wash
ington in bringing the problem fairly
and squarely before the colored work
ers in the shipyard and those who
could bring unusual influence to bear
upon them.
DIR. Washington outlined the condi-
ton of workingmen in southern Eu-
rope He told graphically the story
Of his trip through Europe and his ex-
perience with men and women who
were poorly fed, poorly clothed, poorly
housed and poorly paid for their la
borious services. He showed by con-
trast how much better Off are the Ne
groes of America, who do not have to
seek work and who with thrift can i'm
prove their economic condition.
The Newport News shipyard pays
weekly to colored workers $25, 600.
This fact shows the important eco
nomic reason for DR.. Washington en-
couraging the colored workers to stick
to their jobs and. instead of recklessly
and foolishly spending their good
wages, build better homes and
churches. An eloquent appeal was
made by DIR. Washington. who through
actual experience knows the hardships
of an uphill struggle
He urged the colored people to do
their full duty and more than they
were being paid for, to keep their
word, to put heart and conscience into
their work. to cooperate heartily with
those in authority and to cultivate
civic pride. He called upon the white
people to exercise more patience with
the colored people with whom they
deal. for after all the American Negro
is loyal. Christian American citizen.
he asked that the colored men and
boys of the shipyard be given the op
portunity of making new start The
eyes of the colored people Throughout
the United States are turned upon the
men and boys who have in their grasp
the success or failure of many Of their
fellows in Industrial life.
