BYRNES TAKES UP
NEGRO QUESTION
South Carolina Representative De-
clares Race Antagonism is Fos-
tered Through Magazines.


P. n. McGown in The State.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Declaring
that he had become convinced that
the race ,antagonism now manifest
ing itself throughout this country is
berg Circulated through negro new5-
papers and magazines and that he
had called for action by the depart
ment of justice, Congressman Byrnes
of South Carolina today addressed
the house on this subject. The fol-
lowing is a part Of his speech, until
stopped by Republican members who
would not let him discuss the matter
further.
The recent race riots in Washing
I. ton and Chicago and many other
similar disturbances throughout the
country have caused the press to
speculate as to the underlying causes
of the conflict between the races. 1t
is manifest that, when sanguinary
conflicts take place in cities so wide
" separated and within so short a
time, the cause is general and not
local. The white man who reads the
newspapers Of the country knows
that nothing has been done to change
the attitude of the white man to-
wards the negro race. On the con-
trary, the very generous support Of
the war by the negro caused the
white people Of the nation to enter
tain for him only the best Of good
feeling. For this sudden change in
our relations then we must look
to negro leadership to ascertain
whether or not efforts have been
made to- disturb the harmonious re-
lations heretofore existing in this
country. 1 recently noticed in the
press statement quoting profes-
sor at Howard university (negro) as
= -
saying that after a trip through the
South he was convinced that there
was imminent danger of the South
becoming a little Russia Coming
from South Carolina, ] think / know
something of the negro, and was
convinced that there was absolutely
no foundation for the opinion Of the,
professor OF this negro university.
In the South today the negro Is pros
pefang as never before IN the history
ofShis race. he IS accumqlating
money; ne Is purchasing land and
Through the assistance OF the white
anan IS daily betterlng hls condition.
Lett TO ourselves there IS no posi-
bhIty OF conditions arising IN the
South which would justify the de-
:scription Of a little Russia
s 81 Attitude Of Negro Pre...
.sBut the statement above quoted
with the general specula-
ton Of the cause Of the riots in
washington and Chicago, has caused
me to INQUIRE into the attitude Of
Ehe negro press. and I have become
scorrinced that the leadership Of
Morton and itself throughout the
country today is due to the incendi-
AIRY utterances of the wonld-be lead
ers Of the race now being circulated
through negro newspapers and maga-
zines. It is evident that the leader
ship Of Motion and others, who fol
lowing IN the steps of Booker Wash
ington, preached conservatism to the
race is nov being challenged by a
crowd of radicals who are annealine
to the passions of the negroes and
melting them to deeds of violence.

defeated Colonel James M. Duffey in
bitter fight in that state including
the election of delegates to the Balti-
more convention.

from the Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania
district and served three terms. He
was the author of the original fed
eral child labor law which was re-
Gently knocked out by the supreme
court.
In 1914 he was Democratic nomi-
nee for the United States senate from
PENNSYLVANIA, but was defeated by
Senator Penrose. President Wilson,

LOSES RIGHT EYE

The many friends of Mr.. N. M.
Morris, will be panied to learn that
he loses his right eye as result of
the accidental scratch of brier,

GRANDEST, SWEETEST
TEMPERED STATESMAN

It is regrettable that practically all
of the wisdom and profoundly OF
craftsmanship Of Georgia should be
encompassed uncompromisingly with
in the bosom and behind the whlske1s
of the Hon. Joe Hill Hall, OF Blop
county.
Not that it matters so much perhaps
while vet he remains among us, 10
regulate us and direct us in the paths
we should go and all that, as that we
shudder to think what WOULD be-
come of us should the Hon. Joe Hill
he snatched hence or suddenly be
stricken dumb.
In a debate before the governor
upon the question of an extra session
of the legislature, to consider the
question of good roads in Georgia,
the Hon. Joe Hill thus eloquently, ele-
pantlv and thunderously delivered
himself:
The press doesn't express pub
lie opinion. And the Rotary
clubs and chambers OF COM
merce are always passing some
fool resolution without knowing
what they are doing. That's all
they are good for. / have never
seen a business man who maze
a good legislator.
Mr. Hall should take a peep into
his defenseless mirror.
Therein he would see reflected the
greatest business man, the greatest
legislator, the greatest orator, the
greatest statesman, the greatest every
thing, whiskers and all, the grand ola
state of Georgia ever produced!
There can be no possible doubt
about it.
He is the one and only super-Ro-
tary Club, the one and only super
chamber of commerce, the one and
only super-business man, the one and
only super-legislator, the one and only
super-everything that ever came down
the pike!
Nobody proclaims this more insist
emily or vociferously than he.
The whole world long since went
mad, crazy, daft, saving and except
ing the Hon. Joe Hill Hall.
Remarkable, is it not?-Atlanta

SENATORS AT DINNER
WITH THE PRESIDENT
A Free and General Talk About the
League of Nations Was the
Nature of Discussion

Washington, Feb. 27-Renewed dis
cussion of the league of nations today
in capitol cloak rooms and corridors
followed the White House dinner con-
ference last night at which President
Wilson outlined the reasons upon
which he predicates his belief that the
future peace of the world rests upon
such an organization.
Republicans opposed to the league
plan, however, apparently had not
changed their views and they Will
continue to voice their opposition IN
the senate until congress adjourns
next Tuesday. There will be replies
from the Democratic side, Senator
Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign
relations, planning to speak briefly
late today. Senator Lodge, Che Re
publican floor leader, who will speak
tomorrow, had completed prepare
ton of his address and given confiden-
tial copies to newspaper correspond
ents before last nights conference.
The discussion at the White House
was free and frank. The president
told the senator's and representatives
that unless America joined the league
the whole plan would fall and that
utter chaos would result in Europe.
He pointed out that half a dozen new
nations had come from the crucible
of the great war and said the strong
er countries must combine to help and
guide them until thye were able to
stand alone.
Details of the presidents confer
ence continued to develop today in
the discussions between the White
House guests and other members of
congress. One of the developments
was the apparent certainty that the
president does not wish and admins
tration leaders in the senate will not
endeavor to secure any formal ex-
pressin at this time on the tentative
draft. No resolutions of Endorsement
therefore, is expected now to be
brought before the senate.
Some Republicans who were at the
conference stated today that the pres
ident's discussion emphasized the
need for amendment of the tentative
draft to establish precisely many I'M
portant principles beyond controversy
or question.
President Wilson, it was under
stood, did not venture any predictions
as to when peace would eventually
be established, but informed the COM
mittee members he was straining every
nerve toward the conclusion of peace,
adding that every day of delay in
creased the danger of complications,
especially in Germany.
Some of the committeeman left the
conference with, the impression that
the president was willing to accept
specific amendment of the proposed
constitution to guarantee mainten-
ance of the Monroe doctrine.
President Wilson today accepted
an invitation to speak in New York
next Tuesday night on the eve of his
sailing again for France.
Former President Taft is expected
to be speaker at the same meeting,
which will be held under the auspices
of non-partisan committee of repre-
sentatives of various societies advo-
eating formation of a league of ma
tions. President Wilson is said to
be very anxious to have Mr.. Taft on
the program with him.

expects to accomplish. We have had
some of it's literature and we were

The meeting of large number OF
people from various parts of the state
at the capitol on Tuesday in the in
terest of good roads seems to have
been in vain. The Hon. Joe Hill Hall,
of Bibb, was there to obstruct, OBJ
iect and recite the unconstitutionality
of doing anything that the people
want done. Judge T. E. Patterson,
Prison Commissioner, and member
of our present so-called Highway
Commission, was also there as an OBJ
hector, and between them they seem
to have gotten the governors poor
brain so muddled that he thinks doing
nothing the only safe thing to do, and
although we have seen no statement
from him to that effect, we under
stand he will not call an extra SEES
sion. AS the governor is the only one
authorized to call an extra session, 1T
will have to go at that. We are fast
osing our confidence in the governors
good judgment.

Premier Clemenceau is fast recoV-
arine from the wounds inflicted by an
assassin ten days ago. He has neen
able to attend to business and made
an auto trip to Versailles on. We'd
nesday. We have not seen anything
of the disposition of his assailant, but
we assume he will at least get SUN
sentence in the French courts, Tor,
had he accomplished his object, his
sentence would have been death.
Tho monarchists of Germany are
still plotting to restore the ex-kalser
to his throne. The present German
government is aware of these plots
and it is believed will suppress them'
although they do not seem to be IN
clined to punish the plotters, or pos
sibly they have not the power 10 40
so. It may be that they are afraid
to punish them, but at any rate the
disposition to lean to royalty stlll
seems popular in Germany.
There is small doubt that the rank
and file of the people of Europe, as
well as most of the leaders, have ac-
cepted Mr.. Wilson exactly at his word'
and confidence in him and his policies
continues to grow, if we are to believe
all reports, reaching this country He
has evidently impressed them as be-
ing thoroughly unselfsh in all his
plans and they seem willing to accept
him and back his plans. Perhaps after
all matters are nearer a reasonable
and lasting settlement over there than
we had been lead to believe, at least,
we are willing to hope SO.
