BISHOP WALTERS.

There is something that appeals to
pathos in the attitude of Bishop
Alexander Walters, who, after mis-.
leading many of his race into the
Democrats party with the hope of
redemption, fingers around the back
door of the White House begging in
vain for some consideration for his
misguided people.
We doubt if there is one among us
who does not pity Bishop Walters,
inasmuch as his errors of 1912 were
of the head and not of the heart.
There was never a man in any walk of
life who possessed more sincerity
that the good bishop, who actually
thought he could look to the party
of Tillman and Vardaman for succor
for his people. Further and in due
justicev to Bishop Walters it should
be said that he had the assurances
from Candidate Wilson that every
consideration would be shown to the
Negro. He had this assurance in
writing-in a letter that Prof. Wilson
in the high bloom of his candidacy,
had lndited to the Bishop, who formed
a triumvirate between William e. B.
Dubois and William Monroe Trotter,
for the purpose of accomplishing the
apostasy of the colored voter from the
Republican party into the Democratic
party.
OF course President Wilson never
redeemed the promise made him by
Professor Wilson. Instead of giving
to the Negro extended recognition, he
discharged every one of them that oc.
cupied any sort of decent job. Here
is a partial list of those whom Presi.
dent Wilson's administration caused
TO walk the plank:
William H.. Lewis, assistant attor-
ney general, $4,000 J. G. Napier. reg.
lister of the treasury, $4,000; Charles
