it is difficult, say, for these to

1t is for these reasons we be.
lieve that Herbert Eaves declined
to salute the American flag and
when he declared he "Would sa.
lutte nobody Ut nothing but his
God" he unintentionally voiced
feeling that is uaivereal with oul
youth. The feeling of a just and

self in serious way about a ques-
ton of ethical right or principle
It is not, of course the first time
Negroes have demurred at SIM
liar expression of racial loyalty and
patriotism, for we recall that some
years ago there was quite wave
of discussion in many cities hav-
ing any considerable number of
Negro citizens. as to the propriety
of their singing "America. "
This discussion followed some flag
rant violation or infringement of
their rights, and the feeling was
quite general that the indignation
that had so effectively cooled their
patriotic fervor was abundantly
justified.
In view of these facts and the
serious condition as to his rights
and privileges in which the Negro
now finds himself. we are led to
suggest a different reason for the
emphatic position assumed by
eleven year old Hubert Eaves.
He is, we must believe vigor.
Gus. uplooking manly boy, who has
made himself acquainted with the
general history and traditions of
his people. He may not have ex-
perienced much, if any of the hard
ships of racial prejudice. He is
yet of tender years and was Prob
ably born in that golden Wes.
where opportunity grasps each a
hand of courage and ability and
tolls with them patiently. side by
side until success is realized. The
unkind hand Of prejudice and dis.
elimination has touched him but
gently, if at all, and what he
knows of the cruel efforts and eff.
fects of racial antagonism and op.
preston, has been gathered from
the lips of elders or the lines of the
printed page.
Even so, being the lad we as
sumo him TO be, his soul has writh
ed under the cruelties and unmeri-
ted hardships suffered by his peo-
Pile and ia an abandon of angry in
dignation he has found himself un-
able to pay the usual homage to
our national emblem; an emblem
consecrated to the full protection
of their liberties by the blood aud
travail of all classes of her people
Doubtless the are very many
Negro Americans who feel
as bitterly as does Hubert Eaves,
but having had wider experience
and larger contact with the wrongs
of which complaint is justly made,
are enabled to encompass the sit
uation with larger faith in an ul-
innate and oorrert adjustment.
Such faith, we believe is i'm
peratiye, for how olse may we
view the constant, forward trend

THE LOWEST POLITICS IN THE
| CHURCH..
tBy S. }. channeIl, o. D., of New
Orleans, la.)

Tie African Methodist church is
the hotbed of politics., and some of
the nasty kind, that should not exist
in the States. The ministry is guilty
of some of the lowest trio, in poll
tics. This is far beneath the dignity
of the Christian ministry Think of
it. The most of the delegations have
held primaries. The next general
conference will be a pothouse politi-
cal gathering rather than coming
together of general conference of
Christitn character. No other
church under the sun will go SO far as
this Allen will turn over in his grave
witi shame at the pollution of the
general conference in May. All of
the discussions are based on men
and graft. Not one word about the
better morality of the church. Minis
ters are divoreing at every cross road
and graft holds the highest seat in
the church. Will the Bishops say
something about divorce in their
message to the coming general COLI
ference? Will the men take the time
to elect the best type of ministers to
the Bishopric? A cheap elder elect
to the Bishopric makes cheap
Bishop that can be picked up any
where for the lowest tastes in man.
A Bishop who will spoil the moral
status of brother minister's home
is ciieap piece of furniture with a
big label mark immortality in high
places. This is the end of politics of
the low grade. Can the A. M. e.
church survive if the heads of the
church are not moral? l leave this
question to be answered by time.
Down here in Louisiana We are going
up to the general conference with
packed delegation. The Louisiana
conference has an enrolment of one
hundred and fifty ministers and lay
men at most if the roll is properly
forged This would allow about four
OR five delegates at most The North
Louisiana conference, with an enroll
ment of eighty-five ministers and lay
men. This would give by law one
delegate for every thirty preachers
one delegate. The Louisiana confer
ence has eight delegates, and is due
but five. The North Louisiana con-
ference has five delegates when due
but three. These are facts that can
not be refuted. Now tell me where
is this great Negro church going to
land-in hell, or where? Is this
shame for the church, But we are
going to fight it out if it takes all
the summer and see that such rascal
ity meets it's Waterloo.
Where are the college men going
to land the church? The vital things
of the church are left untouched. Give
the laymen equal representation and
this scheming will cease. Why should
the laymen, who give all the means
to support the church, have less than
an equal share of the church's rep
resentation? The A. M e. Church
would lift itself by it's own boot straps
by giving the laymen an equal break.
If the general conference fails to call
a halt. then we must expect judgment.
Prof. John r. Hawkins is the man for
financial secretary; Prof. l. T. Bryan
for the Sunday School Union; Drs.
Allen. and Wright are o. X. But let
us do something to grow moral.
Christ-religious church!

Iowa, who was brought before the
Juvenile Court because he refused
to salute the American flag. The
boy stoutly declared that he

The Independent in comment

thai very probably Huoert had
been led asrfay by wrong course
of reading. Probably this is SO,
for there are many such cases
where strong situations and an ov-
erwrougLt heroic character have
worked upon the minds aud aspir-

lead them to adopt some unusual
or extraordinary means for its ex

just as there have been frequent
illustrations of the pernicious eff

thunder literature, when some
youngster seriously strives as best
he can, to emulate the nervy per-

to take step or two along the tor

incidents an independence of char

custom to which the great masses
of people conform. except there

Where is it possible, without a
too violent dethronement of self
respect, men would much rather
conform to a general observance
or practice, than to invite a ques-

in opposition, when defeat would
seem assured.
There are times and events, how
ever when it has seemed the strong

Washington, ID. C-Tbe treaty
between the United States and the
reL Lubiic of Haiti, ratified by the
Senate may be said to constitute
sequel to the latest of series of
tragic chapters in the history of
the most turbulent island in the
western hemisphere. 1t is the
hope of the element in Haiti that
has been striving for years to crush
out the revolutionary tendency
among the people and to promote
orderly and stable government, as
it is the hope of the United States,
that the sign ny of this convention
will start the little country on the
road to peace and prosperity. The
treaty seems to have been drawn
with the purpose of establishing
in the island a despotism. Per.
haps this is the best that could be
done in the present circumstances.
The conditions were extraordinary,
and doubtless they had to be met
in kind. But the establishment of
benevolent despotism is hardly tire
