The District Recorser,kip.

Editor Of Tn. Washington Herald:
have read q great deal in the public
print of late of Bishop Alexander wal
ters' effort TO have a colored Democrat
appointed TO the office OF Recorder of
Deeds OF the District Of Columbia. or
some other once Of equal Importance.
and Of the Presidents refusal TO sc-
cede TO the bishops wishes
There is no sentiment in practical
TO their ability TO deliver the goods.
1 am very frank to say that there iE
no negro in the Democratic party, eN-
ceptinE the bishop. that measures Ut
to an once OF the sire OF the recorder
Of deeds today that has been a con
sistent and regular Democrat for ten
years. In 1912, a large number Of dis
gruntled Republicans went over TO the
Democrats because the signs of the
times pointed TO a Democratic victory.
and they wanted to be on hand to
share the spoils- As soon as they found
there was nothing doing in the ONCE
getting line they folded their tents
and marched back into the party OF
their ancestry. These men are now
very vitriOlic in their denuncistion Of
the party because its leaders were
wise enough TO appraise these pros
elytes at their true value.

why Not q Referendum yotef
Editor Of The Washington Herald:
From The Herald OF January Il Il sp-
pears that the Anti-ssloon League hss
given six reasons against a referendum
vote on the question OF prohibition in
the District Of Columbia
These reasons amount in substance
to saying that this self-sppointed
guardian OF the morals OF the people
OF the District Of Columbia Is better
qualified to judge what is good for
the interests OF the people Of the Dis
trict than the people are themselves.
While this may be true. the people
OF the District prefer TO manage their
own affairs, and do not wish to en-
trust them to the management OF the
Anti-ssloon League or to be made sub
servient to its will.
The first reason advanced by the
Anti-ssloon League is that referen-
DUN vote would bind no one, and that
the matter would still have TO b.
fought out in Congress.
This is no reason at all because it
the question is ever referred 20 the
vote of the people OF the District OF
Columbia, IL will undoubtedly be upon

Judges
By JOHN ID. BARRY.

reader has protested against my remarks about
judges. He thinks that the law should be invested
with majesty. So judges. representing the law,
ought to be surrounded with dignity greater than
men accord to, ordinary men,.
Many people agree. The only trouble is that
it's SO hard to make man anything better than
a man, or better than what he is inside.

Shortage of Labor
After the War May Give
the Negro His Chance

Conditions which are likely TO prevail
at the close Of the war are being closely
studied by the National Chamber of Com
merce and by many organizations Of
business men.
Most of these agree that two years, a.
least, will elapse after peace is made be-
fore any great reaction will be felt in the
prosperity Of this country.
Another thing upon which they gen
orally agree is that there is going 90 be
great shortage of labor. due to restric-
tions of immigration America taking
strong measures that MANNED or crippled
men shall not enter the country and Eu-
rope taking still stronger measures 10
keep her able-bodiei men at home.
The only solution. many believe. Will be
in bringing the American Negro, in large
numbers, from the south.
1t was tried in Wyandotte, snort
time ago, but resulted in disaster; not on
account of anything the Negro did, bat
thru the animosity shown by the white
man.
This new situation is really the oppor
tunity Of the Negro race if il will only
make good. and il would seem TO be the
thing of all others that their great sa-
vior Booker T. Washington, would have
Welcomed for his people.

never before have been granted them

Highland Park Will Be

But Still Not Part of | ;

A curious situation viii be created ty
the passage Of the annexation proposal
which takes into Detroit territory ot
Greenfield and Hamtramck townships.
completely surrounding The village o.
Highland Park.
This same thing happened with the
Village of Brookline, the fashionable
suburb of Boston. but the character of
the two places is so different that other
comparison is impossible.
Brookline is a wealthy community in
which many Of the fashionable set Of
Boston find their homes. II is Crosse
Poihte on larger scale and its aversion
to annexation is based mostly upon its
desire for exclusiyeness.
Whereas Highland Park, the largest
village in the world, with $4,000 inhabi
tants has come into being largely thru
its being the home Of the world biggest
automobile factory and Of many OF the
10000 workmen employed therein.
Its desire to remain a village, with is
own village government, is due, mainly,
TO wish to keep down taxes and be in
closer touch with its officials than is pos
sible in a great city
Before prohibition carried the village
was ase afraid that it, with It's 10000
worklnen. might become the Mecca Of the
saloon gang were lit part Of the munich
pality Of Detroit
The village is proud Of its fine streets.
its beautiful schools. its purer water,
taken from the lake above Crosse Pointe,
It's thriving population, and it is not anx-
ious TO give this over to be manipulated
by city government, in which il has no
faith, to do unto as it in its benign and
fatherly wisdom should see fit.
II does not see much that il would
gain thereby and it does see much that
il might lose
Therefore when your foot crosses the
line at the northern city limits, you leave
your fatherland. so to speak and are an
alien and a stranger until YOU feel be-
