Hon. Frederick NJ. Roberts, tho
brilliant young leader of Los Angeles
Cal. was elected 10 tho Assembly OF
California from the list District. The
gratifying part Of it is that he had
white support in landing the job. The
colorcd folks are coming unto their
own again.
Hon. Ii. c. Smith scored again re.
Gently. 1t seems that tho promoters
OF THE Birth Of Nation" are deter
mined TO do all in their power to
mjurc the colorcd people Of Ohio in
particular and the colored people OF
this Country in general. They went
TO Cleveland to display this discreuit
able play. Mr. Smith took the mat
tor up with Gov. James NJ. Cox, Il
Democrat of Ohio and with President
Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat in tho
White House of the Nation The lat
ter claimed that he was without pow
CT to act and the former proceeded
to notify Hon. II. G. Smith Of tho
Cleveland Gazette that the play would
be withdrawn from that State.
AS result, this devoted and bril-
liant race leader is happy. 1t may be
many years after he has gone from
this earth, but the colorcd people Of
this country have never had a moro
faithful advocate of their rights and
privileges than This tireless OAioan,
who during more than a quarter Of a
century has battled against the hydra
headed monster OF race prejudice in
behalf of Il race that at times has
treated him coldly and other times
has vouchsafed him their most 10y
al support. We congratulate him up
on his success in this instance

TROUBLE IN BOSTON.

The Boston Chronicle is RESPONSE
bic for the statement Oh the authori-
~ Of J. w. Youngblood that the po-
licemcn. Of Boston arc beating color
ed people and resorting to 4 systemat
ic metlod of mistreating members
Of the race that rivals the worst at
tacks in southern cities. Corporal J.
McDugal Of Company D., Reserve
Labor Battalion was roughly handled
by these policemen. We suggest that
it Is about time that coIored folks
should come back home. Conditions
have changed down here and south
ern white folks who a few years ago
were regarding us with disdain arc
now looking at us with admiration.
The wounded colored heroes from
France have arrived in Richmond
and are being treated to tho best in
the State, living on the "fat Of the
land" and with no sign Of any dis
elimination on account Of trace,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude." Colored folks up North, come
on back home. -"

his foet." lie certainly keeps moy-
ing and he is looking after the in
tcrests of his Clients" tho colorcd
folks. If we arc to judge by the num-
Dor OF letters ho is sending out to all
of the officials in tho country, where
wrong-doing occurs in connection
with the race OF people that ho re.
presents. lie now alleges that Region
al Director II. IL. Ashton, who is
Federal official has sent out an
order to tho Northwestern railroads
in which he says:
"Thc conditions underwhich Nc
groes arc employed as fircmen, host
lers. sw;tchmen, brakcmcn etc. are
not to be extended beyond the prac-
ticc heretofore existing, and you arc
cautioned against employing Negroes
for this class Of service or in any ser
wee not heretofore open to them nor
tc take the places c. white men,"
This goes to show that whenever
northern white men attempt to handle
the race question they make Il mess
of it." We have not heard of any
such order being ISSUED in tho South
land. We have not as yet heard from
either Secretary Nc Adoo or from
President Woodrow Wilson, to whom
n similar telegram was addressed.
1t would be we'll though to have q
copy Of this order read at tho Peace
Table In Franco. 1t might serve to
emphasize the need Of making this
part OF tho world safe for democracy.
while they are over there trying to
make tho other part Of the world
safe for The same kind Of people.

Tho National baptist Convention as

ING oL that organization Ill Washing

the John Wesley a. NJ. L.. Churcn,
i4th and Corcoran Sts., Washington.
ID. c., Tor the purpose OIL cloctlng
ENJOYS to tho Peace Council in
Europe and to present demand for
full democracy in this country as
u part Of tho new world program and
adjustment. The meeting will be
wide OPEN SO to speak and any
organization is permitted TO SEND
delegates to attend this meeting.
Rev. e. Moore, ID. D., of Column
bus, Ohio one of the ablcst and one
OF the most eloquent divines in this
country is President and William
Monroe Trotter, the brilliant editor
oil tae Boston Guardian is Corro.-
sponarrg Secretary, while that queen
Of race agllators. Mrs. Ida Wells
Barnett oil Cnicago is Chairman OF
the Publicity Committee. With these
leaders i'll charge there will undoubr
cdly be warm times" in Washing
ton for few days ut least.
The proposal TO send delegates to
France has met With Il hearty re-
sponsc on the part of the colorcd
folks, who seem to be determined to
be i'll at the meeting when President
Wilson's plea that the world be made
safe for democracy is taken up for
discussion at its face value Evil
IDENTITY, tho distinguished Jcrscyman
and Virginian did not fully comprc
hcnd The Widespread and liberal in
depreciation Of his plea, or realize
that he was handling "weapon"
that would shoot at the brcech as
we'll as at the muzzlc.
Regardless of the outcome, it is
Il foregone conclusion that there will
he large attendance at Washington
next week and that the leaders of
the movement will be happy for a
few days at least. Preparing TO go
to Europe is one thing and getting
there is another. We see no reason
why both Of these fcats should not
be accomplished unless the Admins
tratiOn decides to squelch the move
ment and deny to these earnest peo,
pie the right to be heard in the
French Republic either officially or
unollicially. 1t is an embarrassing
situation for the Administration.
BY the way, what has become OF
Hon. Emmett j. Scott these days
Will he attend the Moore-Trotter-B Bar
nett meeting at Washington and
should he attend it, what can he say
in the premises? Certainly, these CO.
ored folks have q right to express
their opinion and they have the right
to make a direct appeal to the Assem-
bled delegates in France.
! TO deny them this right would BIZ
: to fail TO accord them part in this
