OkUMA PLEADS FOR END OF BAN
AGAINST RACE.

Marquis Okuma, who has twice been
premier of Japan, contributes to the
Taikan (Outlook) a strong article on
the desirability of obtaining the aboli-
ton of discrimination against his race.
Among other things he says:
"Despite all the talk of Justice and
equality for all people, small or great,
colored or white, there still persists a.
strong prejudice against our race. It
is prejudice which we cannot toler-
ate for a moment.
There is no need for Japan to be
afraid of insisting on what all justice
loving people adjudge to be right.
Japan s present development did not
originate in the desire to conquer
others. If she insists on being ac-
corded equal treatment with the west
ern powers, it is because she wishes
to lead the rest Of the oriental nations
to light and civilization. =

The Urban League.
(FrOm the Boston Guardian

J.
The Guardian has noticed the sneak
thief method that the Urban League
has taken to get a foot hold in Bos,
ton. We set trap and all the mice
walked in. AS long as the Boston
Urban League maintains the standard
OF New England and fights for liberty
and justice in all things and sees to
1t that when our young girls are given
jobs they are to be real jobs and not
to- become the playthings of a certain
type of white men we will saw MOTH
ing.
1t seems that many people are of
the opinion that because Trotter is in
,, France trying to give them a mans
chance instead of dogs chance that
anything can be put over. The young
fellows left in charge are just as well
educated and have had the necessary
experience to write and fight as ef-
: tectlvely as he. We wish to be broad.
minded hence We may appear easy,
don't fool yOurse1ves-We understand
the Urban League and it's sinister,
curry favor, dog like attitude. We
also understand these white philan-
throp1sts that pet black people as
they would French poodle. If these
same white people would see to it
that in the many corporations in
which they hold shares that colored
men (and I mean as Trotter said,
those of discernible African extrac-
tion) be given a decent job instead
of porter's job they would indeed
be real Americans.
We want to warn young colored
girls of ambition that before leaping
at job in "a sweat shop please see
first that the shop is clean, airy and
a decent place to work in Better to
maintain your womanhood and health,
working at an inferior job rather than
risk it in a sweat shop. Re-.
Do not forget that the white Ia
borer is after the capitalist, To dodge
the issue these capitalists are anxious
to use you.
Good jobs for colored Americans will
come just as soon as Americans get
sense enough to do real farming, rea!
business and real thinking. Running
a. restaurant is not business, running
shoe shop is. If our ambitious girls
and boys would go to the library and
read Loughs Corporation Finance and
books of like character you will come
to very different conclusions about
jobs. 1t is nerve and push that our
race needs not Urban Leagues

Now isn't it disgusting to think that
great nation like Japan, with a great
army and powerful navy is continually
fighting determinations, while GER
tain groups of negroes are doing
their best to segregate themselves in
the United States and deprive them
selves of the advantages of full Ameri-

is NOT A WAR
ON RUSSIA
Struggle Against Bolsheviki
Is Only a Pacifying
Influence
STEPHEN PICHON
OFNFRANCE SAID
1t Is Necessary to Prevent
Russia Becoming Ally
of Germany

Paris, Wednesday, March 26.--Stephen
Pichon, foreign minister, said this aft
ernoon in the Chamber Of Deputies that
the struggle against the boIsheviki was
not declaration of war against Russia.
His address, which was made in reply to
interpretations made on Tuesday by Mar
eel Cachin and Ernest Lafont, was bitter
ly criticized by socialist deputies and for
a time the greatest disorder prevailed in
the chamber.
After pointing out that the allied poll
icy in Russia was not a war" but a
"pacifying" policy, NJ. Pichon said:
"The Russian question is vital, as it is
necessary in the interest of peace to bar
the westward route of bolsheyism. If we
do not act, the day Russia reawskens she
viii find herself the ally of Germany"
The session was suspended from 5;35
to G o'clock, when The socialists re-
newed their attacks on the speaker. Dur
ing NJ. Pichon's address, Premier Gle
menceau entered the chamber for the
first time since he was wounded by Emile
Coffin on Feb. 10.
M. Moutet, a socialist, one of the at
torneys for Joseph Caillaux, who is I'M
der charges of treason, suggested during
the socialist attack on NJ. Pichon that
ut was necessary to oppose one ideal
or another and not to dodge that of
President Wilson"
He was charged by Georges Bonuefous
of lacking respect FOR Mr.. Wilson, but
President Deschanel INTERCEPTED: NO one
here lacks respect for President Will
SON"
Turbulent scenes continued until the
close Of the session at 1920 o'clock.

Why Druggists Recommend
SWanp-ROOt

For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the remark
able record maintained by Br. kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp. Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of
years. 1t is sold by all druggists on its
merit and 1t should help you. No other
kidney medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first 10 test this

in vain to keep her in repair, but the
matron who reaches middle age in com

dered beautiful by perfect health" To
attain such health in middle life a wom-

drag her down and produce nervousness,
headache, backaehes, sleeplessness and

such conditions is Lydia E. Pinkhams
