President Wilson
and
Federal Jobs

Direct from the lips of Woodrow
Wilson himself it comes that he will
favorably consider those applicants
for federal appointments who have
the endorsement OF county central
committees and state central commit
tee members. That means that he
will respect the Democratic organiza
ton throughout the United States
position that our Republican friendA
have fondly hoped that he would not
take, since it has dawned upon them
with dazzling suddenness that all fed.
eral positions should be held irres
pective OF political affiliations and that
no jobholder should be removed I'M
less incompetent.
BY the attitude he has proposed to
follow President Wilson will give
Democracy that which ii has not re
ceived in over forty years, and it will
be a fair and honorable encourage
ment. The appointing OF persons to
III Tic iCSpOHSlDlC OlliNCs III
the country that must be occupied
by those i'll sympathy with Democratic
principles is delicate and important
work, but by recognizing the endorse
ment Of those in the party who have
contributed directly to its success
the hazards of making unit appoint
ments are lessened A great number
OF people do not recommend the samA
person unless that person possesses
qualities that are worth recommends
ton.
In the past, both in Republican
and Democratic circles, it has been
the practice to hand out jobs to
whomesoever could bring q political
boss, congressman or senator to
give an endorsement--the endorse
ment being for the most part ex-
changed for the promise OF the office
seeker to support the boss, congress
man or senator in all future campaigns
no matter what issues were at stake.

SHALL THE UNITED STATES
BUILD HIGHWAYS?

It is q question which Is slowly but
surely forcing itself upon the National
Legislature. Many Senators and Rep
resentatives now believe that the
building Of system Of National
Highways is Of more economic Inn
portance than any other public work
more vital than the question of q
large navy, more useful than any
river and harbor Improvement, more
necessary than the Panama Canal.
For Highways are built and owned
by the people and are free to all the
people. A few years ago road bills
had short shrift In Congress-at pres
ent there are nearly a hundred bills
before Congress dealing with road
building In one form or another.
Although the "good roads" idea has
been gathering force and Roadway
for many years, it's advocates are
still pulling In many directions. Some
road associations want State High.
ways with National Aid. Others
want State Highways without Ma,
tional Aid. Still others want good
roads paid for by the counties
through which they pass. without
any aid. One, at least, believes firm
ly that the question is not only one
for States, Counties, Cities and
Towns, but for the Nation.
The National Highway Association
believes that the beginning Of a com
prehensive good road system for the
Nation must be made by the Federal
Government.
Such q system-as outlined on the
map published here consists Of fifty
thousand miles Of National Highways.
It is not intended that this map
should represent the entire good road
system needed by the United States.
It IL merely q tentative suggestion Of
the National System Of National
Highways, from which good roads
built by States, by Counties, and By
Cities and Towns. would grow and
multiply.

No! Stand erect and without fear,
And for our foes let this suffice
We've bought rightful sonship hare,
And we have more than paid the
price.
And yet, my brothers, well / know
The tethered feet the pinioned
wings.
The heart grown faint from wounds
The spirit bowed beneath the blow,
and stings;;
The staggering force of british
might,
That strikes and leaves US stunned
and dazed;
The long. vain waiting through the
night.
To hear some voice for Justice
raised.
Full well know the hour when hope
Sinks dead, and round us every.
where
Hangs sitting darkness. and we
grope
With hands uplifted in despair.
Courage! Look out, beyond, and see
The far horizons beckoning span!
Faith in your God-known destiny!
We are part Of some great plan.
Because the tongues OF Garrison
And Phillips are now cold in death,
Think you their work can be undone?
Or quenched the fires Lit by their
breath?
Think you that John Browns spirit
stops2
That Lovejoy was but idly slain?
Or do you think those precious drops
From Lincoln's heart were shed In
vain?
That for which millions prayed and
sighed,
That for which tens of thousands
fought,
For which so many freely died,
God cannot let it come to naught.

THE TERM "NEGRo."
New II 10 Defined by the Statutes q

Now II IL Defined by the Statutes ef

Various states define the term me

CLEANED from the Negro Year Book,
published at. Tuskegee institute under
the direction of Monroe N. Work, In
charge of research and records into
and Of his race.
The statutes Of Kentucky, Maryland,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas assert that "a person of
color" Ia one who Is descended from a
Negro to the third generation, inclu
sive. though one ancestor In each gen
Grafton may have been white. Accord
ing to the law of Alabama one Is "a
person of color" who has had any Ne
gro blood In bis ancestry for Ave gen
erations.
In Michigan. Nebraska and Oregon
one Is not legally Negro who has less
than one-fourth Negro blood In his
veins. In Florida. Georgia. Indiana.
Missouri and South Carolina ~ person
Of color Is one who has as much as
ons-eighth Negro blood In Virginia
. Negro is one who has one-slxteenth
or more Negro blood.
The constitution Of Oklahoma reads
whenever In this constitution or In
the laws Of the state the word or
words 'colored race or Negro or
Negro race are used, the same shall
b construed to mean or to apply to all
persons Of African descent. The term
white shall include all other persons"
In Arkansas persons of color" In.
clude all who have visible and dis,

other states of the Union have no
statutes defining the term Negro"
