BURLESON APPOINTS
WRONG COLORED MAN
POSTMASTER

Oklahoma City, Ok, March 27.
Postmaster General Burlesou owes
an apology to L. D. Simmons. an
Oklahoma City man. for an error
he made in the selection of color
ed man for postmaster at Boley,
Ok, one of the important Colored
towns of the state.
When Burlescn recommended
that President Wilson appoint
Caesar Simmons for the Bcley
postoffice, he honestly thought that
ne was appointing l., d. Simmons.
He thought he was doing a favor
to man who was one of his warm
est and most ardent supporters for
Congress in the Ninth District of
Texas, in several campaigns, and
one of the leading Colored educa-
tors of Texas for 20years. But he
appointed Simmons whom he
had never known and who had
never done favor for the post
master general.
L. D. Simmons sent his appli-
cation to Washington. The story
goes that Caesar Simmons had a
friend in Dorset Carter, lawyer
of Purcell, and that recently when
Carter was in Washington, he call
ed on Burleson in behalf of this
Simmons.
Il have already made up my
mind to appoint Simmons" said
Burleson, speaking. of course, of
the Texas Simmons who had been
his political friend. That ended
Carter's mission. The appoint
ment was made that day, and in
due time confirmed by the Senate.

For number of years the public
has been guided by election results
in the states of New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois, which seem to be
the indication of the trend of public
opinion for national elections, ETC.,
and in the majority of cases they are
the forerunner of the success antici-
pated.
Reviewing the recent elections of
these three states in particular, We
can readily observe how the people,
firing of superficial roles, delusion
and deception have resolved to get
away from the order of experimental
lists and return to a government of
solidity, vitality and integrity, which
will scatter sunshine through the
darkened clouds that have been over
hanging us for upwards of two years
fering humanity If we take the Chi
cago election of Tuesday last as an
exhibition of true, faithful and loyal
Republican spirit, well may we join
the wise and thoughtful ones in argu-
ing that this is another indication of
the American peoples intention for
1916 Presidential election, when they
will place a man at the helm sup
ported by bodyguard that will think
OF the interests OF the people and the
welfare of the nation as their only OBJ
legation and leaving insignificant
things alone which neither benefit or
foster any cause for the progress of a
country. In the Chicago election VIM.
Hale Thompson, Republican, was
elected mayor by plurality of 139 ,3S9
and on the same ticket was Oscar De
Priest, a member of our race, who
was elected alderman of the Second
ward By degrees We are being re-
established to our position all over
the country and Republicans must be-
gin to garrison themselves for the
most important combat to come off
November, 1916. In Colorado we can
clearly see that the time has come
when politics has taken an improved
form as our Democratic opponents
would be glad to introduce, but from
our experience of the friendly turn
apparently and the CALLING hate pri-
vately, we are in full accord with the
action of our legislators in making
their reforms, and the fellows who
play the game of heads | win tails
you lose" must learn their new lesson
of PROFIT with their party when
they are victorious and LOSS when
they are defeated "a burnt child
breads the fire"

At the request of Censor John
F. Casey the moving picture based
on Sheldon's "Nigger" recently ex-

MIR. Casey notified the exhibitors
that the name was changed by the
Natl board of censors to the New
Governor and saw that all print
ing read correctly. He also had
many of the Objectionable features

that there is an impossible gulf

and the scones suggested the rape
of the white child by the drunken
Colored man and the burning at

Ovation For DR.. Washington
DIR. Washington was greeted
with quite a demonstration. He
referred to what the colored man
has done for himself and in his adj
dress he encouraged him to DO still
bigger and greater things for his
advancement. In part he said ::
Il am glad of this movement that
it emphasizes the matter of health,
the matter of cleanliness, the mat
ter of better sanitary conditions,
throughout Maryland. In this
both races can cooperate. When
food is being prepared. the Negro
woman touches the white man S
life; when children are being nurs-
ed. the Negro woman touches the
white mans life; when cloths are
being Numbered, the Negro touch
es the white mans life 1t is
mighty important in the interest
of our race, as we'll as in the inter
est of the white race, that the Ne
gro woman be taught, cleanliness
and the laws of health. Disease
draws no color line. If by reason
of filth and unsanitary conditions
in Baltimore growing out of ignor-
ance, consumption, smallpox or
any contagious diseases reach the
black community, it is likely to
strike from this community to the
mansion of the richest white per.
son in Baltimore.
In the future [ am sure there is
going to be more racial co opera
tion more friendship, more peace.
more harmony, more prosperity.
Our race is improving in the mat
ter of health. Some 10 or 15 years
ago the death rate was about 30
per thousand; at the present time,
through such movements as we are
now participating in the death rate
has been decreased to from "a to
20 ger thousand.
We of the black and white race
are going to present to the world
a great object lesson, showing how
two races different in history, diff
ferent in collar, may live side by
side on the same soil in peace and
in harmony. neither hindering the
other, but each helping the other
toward higher and more useful
civilization.
W. E. B. Dubois, was the priu-
cipal speaker at the closing session,
He said that the death of the Ne.
gro was not abnormally high when
compared tc some European coun-
tries. He asserted that the coun.
try death rate was much lower, and
that the of 255 as given In the
census of 1910, was incorrect,
! about 20 in a thousand being the
corrent one.
A health exhibit was held in the
chapel of the church.

H. j. EDMUNDS
Hebrew Governor.


Idaho will have the distinction next
year of being the only state in the
Union to have a Hebrew governor.
Moses Alexander, who won by an
overwhelming plurality at the Novem-
Der election, was born of poor parents,
immigrated from Europe. and had
scant schooling in childhood. AS boy
he started to work his way up in the
world, and despite his early handi-
caps, he has succeeded wonderfully.
Twice chosen mayor of Boise, he en-
joys the reputation of having given
that city the best administration it
ever had.
Many Hebrews have attained posi-
lions of high honor in this land of OPP
portunity, which they have filled with
credit to themselves and to their
race, but Mr.. Moses Alexander, it is
said, is the first one to be elected gov
ernor of an American state.
