STATES RIGHTS IN THE LEGION.
The South Proposes TO Handle this
Question in Its Own Way. ].

The following well considered ar
ticle from The Stars and Stripes,
bears directly upon vital issue now
before the American Legion that
of the status of the negro veteran s
Because the American Legion has
grown more rapidly than its ma
chinery has grown, it has become
necessary for some Of the state or
ganizations to take definite action
on vital questions without waiting
for the national convention or con-
sulting the temporary executive
committee. This was. notably true
in the southern states, where the
negro question injected itself into
legion organization almost from the
first.
stAs a result at least two states
have arbitrarily decided not to adj
nit the black ex-soldier to legion
membership. They had no right to
do this under the legion charter, but
they had very good cause for it
nevertheless, and anyone who knows
the south knows that the south is
going to handle the race question
for itself in its own way.
ssIf the Legion, at Minneapolis or
anywhere else, should presume to
dictate to its southern membership
how its southern problems are to be
handled, it will accomplish nothing
except possibly ALLEVIATE the south
from it's present enthusiastic support
Of the legion. Any step toward in
tolerance by those in one section
who have not faced the problem of
another section, can lend no aid TO
the present effort of moulding a great
national body. And the recent ex-
periences of Chicago, Washington
and other cities indicates that med
ding with racial problems at this
time by any but the most fearless,
honest and experienced hands would
be not only imprudent but unpa-
triotic to degree.
'sSuch enemies of the nation as
have been caught red-handed deliver
ing propaganda to the colored popu-
lation of the south must find no COM
fort through any dissensions in a
body so utterly American as the
legion. The southern states will ask
nothing Of the national convention
but the right they have exercised for
many years, of dealing with their
own problems.
1'They should be conceded that
right without question. .

HOME BOYS MAKING GOOD.
Binnings Brothers Score Big Success
in Clarksdale, Miss.

The firm of H. L. Binnings &
Bros, composed of H. L. Binnings.
w. I. Binnings and R. N. Binnings,
sons of Mrs. Clem p. Binnings Of
this city and former residents Of
this place, have. scored a big success
in the electrical contracting busi-
ness, in the city of Clarksdale, Miss,
where they have been located for a
short while, as evidenced by the fol
lowing very interesting article re-
produced from a recent issue OF the
Register, a newspaper published in
that city:
s'In fear Of further curtailment of
the lights, through drastic orders Of
the fuel control board, several firms
of Clarksdale have taken steps TO
provide themselves with lighting
facilities.
'Binnings Bros, electrical dealers,
who are also agents for the Fair
banks Morse type 2, individual light
ing plant, have installed auxiliary
circuits in several business houses,
including Letcher's barbershop and
pool room, the Ellis Drug Co., Goa
homa billiard room and Cartwright
of Clarksdale, and are making plans
for extending this service. The use
of this source Of lighting gives a
constant and steady current at all
hours, day or night, thus preventing
the proprietors who use it from, be-
ing left in darkness, and at the same
time accomplish the ends desired by
the coal committee in conservation.
The light is generated by this engine,
and the use of a storage battery in
connection permits capacity light at
small cost.
"a member of the firm of Bin
nings Bros. stated to Register re-
porter today that they had in stock
several of this type 2, Fairbanks
Morse engine, and were expecting
|another shipment in the near future,
as their territory had been extended,
giving them large field to work.
t'This is one Of the youngest of
Clarksdale's business concerns, but
the hustle and ability of the pre-
prietors, together with the uniform
courtesy and correct business deal
ings, insures Binnings Bros, of a
continued and growing success, and
the installation Of these lighting
systems is but another mark of their
enterprise and energy, and they be-
lieve the time is not far distant when
every plantation home will be
equipped with one of these indivi-
dual lighting plants.
It will be source of pleasure and
qualification to the entire people Of
this community where these enter
prising young men were born and
reared to manhood to learn Of the
splendid progress which they are
making with their electrical business
IN the Wiae-aWake Mississippi city.
The Chief congratulat lates its young
friends upon their success hopes
that their business will increase IN
volume as they become better known
to the people among whom they
have. cast their lot

INFORMATION WANTED.
What Has Mr.. Parker Done to En-
title Him to Democratic Support :?

= =
The Following splendid article, re-
produced from recent issue Of the
EstalWart Monroe News-Star, answers
the question which many Democrat
ie voters of the state are anxious to
know:
ssWill some one kindly inform us
just what Mr.. John M. Parker has
ever accomplished that entities him
to serious consideration at the hands
lof the Democrats of Louisiana? We
/ have not one word of criticism
las to Mr.. Parker's private record or
business conduct. Those things are
mot a part Of this campaign, and we
do not care to inject personal or
private affairs; but the people of
Louisiana are concerned as to his po-
litical record of which he says he is
SO eVerlastingly proud. Therefore,
we repeat, will some one please tell
as what John NJ Parker has done to
entitle him to the votes Of loyal and
| lifelong Democrats?
True, he deserted the Demo-
cratic party many years ago, follow
led after strange party gods, de-
Inouneed the principles of the Demo
cratic party, and did his utmost to
place in power Republicans, Bull
Moose and Progressives. He exerted
himself to the fullest extent, and he
voted for non-Democratic candidates.
However, after doing all within bis
power to defeat and eXcoriate the
Democratic nominee for governor Of
Louisiana, and, after discovering
that he could not accomplish much
personally outside the Democratic
party, changed his party registra
ton, and now declares he is a DEM
ocrat. Yet, in the same BREATH
avows his pride in his past political
|record, though it breathes Of Re-
Epublicanism, Bull-Mooseism and
Progressiveisn
Usually, when a man sincerely
and truly repents and desires to
work out his own salvation, he makes
public a full and free confession of
his sins and declares his contrition
lover past deeds and asks to be al
lowed to prove his sincere repentance
by remaining on the mourners'
bench for a reasonable length Of
time, he does not boldly rush for
ward, demanding the choicest gifts
politically in recognition of his mere
act Of party registration Usually
the repentant man is silent and
anxious to be allowed to be even
meek and lowly follower of those
who have ever been steadfast and
sincere in the faith.
This is not the case with MIR.
John NJ. Parker He is self-centered,
filled with a sense of his own tre-
|mendons Importance, and feels i'm
aeiled to demand as the reward of
his mere condeeension to register as
IA Democrat the highest position Of
stat hi d /. the ,eorIe.

Unless the signs Of the times are
very misleading, the Democrats of
Louisiana are not going to be mis-
led by the noise and glamor and null
titudiuous prediction promises of
Parker and his political cohorts, but
are going to adopt the safe and sane
