FRENCH DEMAND
RACE EQUALITY
Protest on American Soldiers
Acts to Co|ored Men.

Paris, Augustine government was
interpellated in the chamber of depu-
ties few days ago on the rough treat
ment French colored soldiers are al
legged to have received from the Amer
lean military police in French ports.
The questions were asked by M. Bois-
neuf and M. Lagrosilliere, colored
deputies, respectively from Guade.
lOupe and Martinique.
The debate that ensued ended with
the unanimous adoption of the follow
ing resolution:
1.-THE chamber, faithful to the i'm
mortal principles of the rights of man,
condemning all prejudices of religion,
caste, or race, sOlemnly affirms the
| absolute equality of all men, without
distinction of race or color, and their
right to the benefit and protection of
all the laws of the country. The cham
Der counts upon the government to ap-
ply these laws and see that the neces-
| sary penalties for their infringement
are inflicted"
Expects an Apology.
Jules Pans, minister of the interior
| replying to the colored deputies, said
| that the government had applied pen.
| alties and asked them not to insist
| upon discussion of "the very regret
| table incidents, as France does not
forget the services rendered by her
colored sons"
| The minister of the interior added
that the American government had
not hesitated to express regrets in
terms that did France the greatest
honor.
"High Diplomacy" Problem.
M. Pans asked Deputy Boisneu
for reasons of high diplomacy" tt
drop the subject. The deputy said hi
would not speak of questions that in
volved diplomacy, but he protested
against the completely of the French
military authorities in these incidents
He then read a confidential circular
to French officers attached to tn,
American army, setting forth how
American opinion did not tolerate
Familiarity between whites an6
blacks"
"And it is America that wants &
society of nations" interjected Charles
| Bernard, a deputy from the Seine.
''The circular wasn't signed by Will
son." shouted Deputy Mayeras (Social
list from the Seine) in reply to- M
Bernard.

Not "Nigger"-Not "Nearo."
(From the Washington Bee

tfrom the Washington Bee)
Bishop Wilbur Thirkield, in discus
sing colored Americans in the South
western Christian Advocate, and in
his reply to Irwin S. Cobb, says: "The
writer means we'll, but he does nor
seem to know what the term niger
that has persisted as a relic of slav-
cry and has in it the sting of LIQUID
nre to every self-respecting Negro,
must co."
Yes, and The Bee asserts that not
only the word "nigger" must 20, but
the word Negro" We are American
citizens, the same as you. although
our skin may be dark. The white
man manufactured both terms and
the Government legalizes them ans
colored Americans perpetuate them.
For Gods sake, give both terms a rest

every opportunity to make any obser.
walton he may wish to make.
What did nr Mntnn do Ho

Wnat dld Dr. Motion DO? He
rushed around as fast as possible. He
took with him and had at his elbow
every moment that evil genius Of the
colored race, Thomas Jesse Jones, a
white man. DR.. Motion took no time
to investigate or inquire. He made a
few speeches, of which one is reported
by nearer as follows:
The address delivered by Dr.. Motion
to the men consisted of one or two
jokes by coIored preacher, the as
surance that the people at home were
proud of them and the manner in
which they should act upon their re-
turn to the United States, dwelling al
most entirely upon the phrase "Not to
be arrogant" After he had spoken to
the men the major informed the off,
GERS that DR.. Motion desired to hold a
secret conference with them. All Of
f1cers congregated in the office. After
being presented to the officers, Dr..
Motion stated that he had been sent
to France by President Wilson and
Mr.. Baker for the purpose of speaking
to the colored troops. He also stated
that he had just left Paris where he
had been in conference with President
Wilson and had asked the President
his views as to the practical applica-
ton Of democracy toward the coIored
man in the United States, but ended
by saying: ~ was very much pleased
With his reply but, gentlemen, | can
not quote the President"
After DR.. Motion finished his talk no
opportunity was given to the officers
to inform him of the conditions that
had existed in France, and he did not
seek any information relative to same
from any of the officers after the con-
ference ended.
Dr.. Motion then returned to Paris
and met Colonel House, General Per-
shing and others. Colonel House told
the writer that he urged Dr.. Motion to
remain in Paris and that if he would,
Colonel House would give him an op-
portunity to appear in person before
the Peace Conference to speak for the
black world. Dr.. Motion refused to
stay, but promised to return. He
then went to England and secured an.
audience with Lloyd George, Prime
Minister Of England. The destiny Of
the black race today is in the hands of
England and the destiny of England is
in the hands of Lloyd George. Vet Dr..
Motion did not keep his appointments;
but rushed to catch his boat in order
to be present at the Tuskegee Confer
ence. He sailed with Thomas Jesse
Jones still watching him, and did not
return to Paris or to the Pan-African
Conference, which he said he favored
and promised to support.
No one questions the personal in
tegrity Of Robert r. Motion or his kind
ly disposition, but no one friend or foe,
can look these facts in the face and
not feel bitter disappointment.

Hates the Term "Neuro."

Il hate the term Negro because 1t
is being used in terms of hatred. It
is the cause of the segregation Of the
Negro; it is being used in contempt
In public places; it is an excuse for
disfranchising him; and it is an ex-
cuse for lynching him. Only one
tenth Of one per cent of the colored
people in America can trace their
descent to Africa, and there is no
more right to call all colored people
Negroes than to call all white people

To be possessed of g head of heavy.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,

a matter Of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots Of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
--Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair--taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

plars, an order of total abstainers or
ganized In 1851 at Utica, N. Y, were
also working to this end.
The call for the Chicago convention
originated May 20, 1869, in the grand
lodge OF the Good Templars ut Oswe-
go, N. Y. which appointed a committee
to convene a national gathering to
organize a political party favorable to
prohibition legislation. This commit
tee consisted of John Russell, Detroit,
Mich. Daniel Wilkins, Bloomington;
Ill. j. A. Spencer, Cleveland, o.; John
N. Stearns, New York, and James
Black. Lancaster Pa. At this conven-
ton the party was organized, plat
form was adopted and national COM
mittee was appointed, with John Rus
sell chairman.
The first national nominating con-
vention assembled in Columbus, O., on
Washington's birthday, 1872. 1t
named James Black for president and
John Russell for vice president. Black
was one of the founders of the Ma
tional Temperance Society and Pub
lication house, an organizer Of the ia
nous Ocean Grove IN. j. Camp
Meeting association and prominent
Good Templar. Upon his death, in
1893 he left his Temperance library"
of 1000 volumes to the National Tenn
perance society. Russell, the "Father
of the Prohibition party" was a Meth
odist minister and leading Good
Templar. His newspaper, the PENN
sular Herald, was the first to advocate
the formation Of separate political
party for prohibition.
Notwithstanding the worthiness of
the cause and the candidates, the pub
lie support at the election Of 1872 was
not enthusiastic. The total Of the
votes received by Black and Russell
was but 5,607.
In 1876 Green Clay Smith of Ken
lucky and Gideon T. Stewart of Ohio
were the candidates. They polled
9.737 votes. In 1880 Neal Dow OF
Maine. with III. A. Thompson of Ohio
as running mate, appealed to the
country. General Dow was widely
known as the author Of the Maine pro-
hibition law, but he succeeded in get
ting only 1896 votes.
Candidates and Their Vote.
The Prohibition convention Of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The Stree silver" minor
ity formed a Liberal party, with Bent
lev Of Nebraska and Southgate of
Illinois as it's acknowledgements. They
polled about $4,000 votes.
The feature Of the Prohibition cam
paign of 1900 was tour of the coun-
try by the candidates and corps of
speakers by special train. In 1912
the Prohibition convention renom-
mated the candidates Of 1908. The
candidates since 1884 and their vote
are as follows:
1888. Clinton B. Fisk, New Jersey,
and ]. A. Brooks. Missouri, 249,945
