Colonel G. V. Raby is one of the

He has been very successful and Is

He was born in Louisiana about fifty

Although young and not long out OF
slavery, he felt that he should put forth
an effort to help his parents In life:
hence his education was limited. but
what he did get was thorough. and he
has been able to use it to good ad-
vantage. Thus he is numbered with

pointed Consul at Cognac,
France by President McKin-
ley. The post has always been
regarded as the best position
held by a colored man in the
Consular Service. The posi-
ton carries with it a salary of
$4,000 a year. Cognac is
known for its brandies and
wines, and is looked upon as
most desirable place to live
owing to its climatic advan-
tages. On the same day the
Senate confirmed the appoint
ment of a whise man to sue
ceed George Jackson, A. T.
HaeberIe of Missouri, was
confirmed as consul to St.
Michaels. Azores, to succeed
James w. Johnson, resigned.
MIR. Johnson resigned as con-
sui to Azores because the
Democrats of the Senate re-
fuse to confirm him. Mr..
Johnson was appointed consul
at Azores by President Taft
while stationed at Corinto,
Nicaragua. Some months ago
Mr., Johnson called on Secre-
tary of State Bryan and learn
ed that it was useless for him
to aspire to be confirmed con :
sui at Azores. So he tender
ed his resignation.
The uncalled for dismissal
from the Consular Service of
George H. Jackson and the
fiat refusal of the Democratic
Senators confirm Mr.. Taft's
appointment Of James w.
Johnson as Consul to Azores
clearly indicate the position
President Wilson and his ad-
visors have taken toward the
colored citizens. There is
every reason to believe that
similar treatment will be
meted out to other Negroes
in the Consular Service.
1t is charged that the pre-
sentation of a list to President
Wilson by colored Democrats,
showing what positions we're
held by colored Republicans
is responsible for the dismis- :
sal of Consul. Jackson. The
administration did not know
Jackson was colored until the
colored pointed out what po-
sitions should he filed by col
ored Democrats.
And the pathetic feature of
the dismissal of Negroes hold

Consul at Cognac France.
Although Consul Jackscn's
position was supposed to have
been protected by Civil Ser
vice, a white man has been
selected to succeed him. From
all accounts the taking of his
lob from him savors of high
way robbery methods. For
no good reason has Mr.. Jack
son been dismissed from the
Consular Service. The chief
chaage against him seems to
be that he has a dark skin.
h. 1t was only a short time ago
that the Administration gave
out the information that the
efficiency of the Consular Ser
vice would not be weakened
by making wholesale changes
and that merit, not politics,
would be the determining fac
tor in the retention Or promo
ton of a consul. The reno
val of George II. Jackson as
Consul at Cognac, France,
shows how faithfully this rule
is being observed.
The simple statement ap-
pearing several days ago in
the Congressional Record
that Kenneth f. Patton of
of Virginia, assistant consul
at Liverpool. had been ap-
pointed consul at Cognac,
France, to succeed George H. !.
Jackson. was the only obituary
to show that Consul Jackson
had been politically decapi-
tated. This announcement
appeared in the long list of
consular appointments. con-
firmed by the Senate on Nov.

cord in other instaeces either
impaired the information that
the new appointee was sue
ceeding consul who had re-

ment had been occasioned by
! reason of a transfer or promo
tion. Just how Jockson was
