BY AIphonso Robinson


The pastors of the colored churches
and their congregations were invited
to attend services at the Methodist
church (white) on last Sunday. Old
time songs we're sung, such as "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" and others. The
services were very impressive and all
seemed to enjoy them The collec-
ton, which was $78, was equally di-
vided among the colored churches.
The colored people appreciate this
spirit of friendship and desire pub
licly to thank the white citizens of
Mesa for their broad-mindedness and
real Christian attitude.
Mr.. J. H. Carter, our popular con-
tractor and builder, visited friends in
the capital city Sunday, returning to
Mesa Sunday evening.
Messrs Will Brown. Judge Taylor
and Lonnie Taylor, noted hunters and
trappers of this section, have re-
turned from the mountains and will
try city life for awhile. They state
that game is scarce at this season.
The little baby of Mr. Henry Lewis
is reported ill this week.
Mr. Ford is still on the sick list.
Mr.. T. T. Tanner was the guest of
Mrs. Harris Sunday evening.

SCATHLNG ARRAIGNNENT Of
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
FROM The PRESIDENT down
(Hy Associated Negro Press)

Boston, Mass, Jan s21- Chandler
Owen, editor CT the Messenger. as
serted in a speech before the Boston
School of Social Science, that propa-
ganda was spread in France by Ameri-
can agents after the United States
entered the war that the Negro sol
diers who were coming there TO per
form army labor were little more than
monkeys and some even had tails.
He said that many among the 1900
Negro army officers had told him they
had been asked by the French people
if this was true Citing this as an
example, he declared that the demo-
cratic administration, from President
Wilson down, was no friend of the
Negro race. He claimed that the
great ambition of the democrats in
congress was to pass a Jim Grow law
for Washington street cars before they
went out of power and also to make
it illegal for whites and blacks to
intermarry.
1t was especially Irritating, he said.
10 hear college professors apply the
term "darkey" to a Negro. lie pro
tested against southern plantation
melodies and Negro folk songs. Col.
House, adviser of President Wilson,
was a leader of the southern bour-
bons he declared, and his newspaper,
published in Texas. the speaker char
acterized as most vicious, indecent,
undignifed and ridiculous, in its
treatment Of the Negroes.
The 417,OOO Negroes soldiers in the
war expected equal consideration as
free citizens as a reward upon their
rehabilitation, and their failure to
obtain this. he declared. was one of
the causes of the riots. He announced
himself to be a radical, in sympathy
with industrial unionism such as prac-
ticed by the l. w w, but declared the
A. f. of L. to be backward, reaction
airy, narrow-minded and archaic"

Politics and Politicians
Are Now Engaging
Attention of Nation
(Hy Associated Negro Press)


Chicago, Jan. 21-There has been
terrific cyclone in the political world
in recent days, little earthquake in
Chicago, New York and Washington.
and bit of lightning in the west, at
San Francisco. Outside of that, the
weather has been calm, and the situa-
ton peaceful.
Chicago entertained national COM
mitteemen, chairman, women leaders
and political prophets of sundry de-
scriptions from Is states, for two
days. There were two outstanding
features of the gathering: One, the
appearances of Gen. Leonard Wood
and Governor Frank o. Lowden, presi-
Dental possibilities, at a banquet, and
their mutual denunciation of reds;
and the fact that the women are in
the game for equality of action as well
as equality of honor. The gathering
demonstrated that up to date, the most
interesting candidates for the presi-
Dental job are the two named gentle
men, and Senator Warren G. Harding
of Ohio.
There was notable absence at the
banquet, and along Presidential
Row." at the Congress hotel, of "the
brother" but that does not indicate
that he is not thinking "a whole heap"
Peven if he is not being conspicuously
consulted in the big places.
There is nationwide interest with
reference to what action national
chairman, Will H. Hays is going to
take towards representation on the
important committee of platform and
policies" adopted in Washington. That
he will appoint a representative from
! the group seems to be a foregone con-
clusion. Who it will be is another
matter but a prominent citizen said
recently: "In my opinion, it should
be Roscoe ConlSling Simmons of
Louisville He is demonstrating real
leadership, and by his constant and
extensive travel, has full knowledge
of the sentiment of the people"
The Lincoln league, of which Col.
! Simmons is president, and which will
hold its annual convention in Chicago,
Feb. ~, has issued the official call,
and from all indications there will be
large attedance. 1t is to be known
as the labor and political conven-
tion and will deal with the questions
of the day without gloves" but prob
ably there will not be any skin
scratched from the knuckles in the
wallops that will be given to the little
demons of injustice.
1t is interesting to note that there
has been "split" in the management
of Gen. Woods campaign. The Hon
John T. King, who has been field mar
shall for 10, these many months, has
been superseded by Col William Coop
er Proctor of Ohio, who, like the ia
nous soap made by the company of
which he is head, is guaranteed 10 be
100 per cent pure. There has been
set up mighty rumbling hither and
hence by the action, but like John
Browns body, the cause of Wood is
marching on. Albeit, "the brother" is
singing the sweet refrain of the latest
and most popular song: where Dc
We Come In?"
The democrats have boosted the
stock of Senator Hiram Johnson, by
taking their convention to San Fran
cisco, and focusing attention on the
Golden West in a manner never before
thought. Incidentally Senator Poin
dexter will undoubtedly let it be

known also, that he is from the place
where Horace Greedy told the young
men to go and grow up with the coun-
try And then William Jennings Bry-
an, who has been in the public presi-
Dental eye for so long that since first
he made his famous speech of gold
and thorns' the baby who was born
that year has been able to vote for two
years, and possibly has won war
cross over in France-the eternal
Bryan, and the distinguished Profess
sor Wilson have probably come to the
final parting of the ways on the
League of Nations issue. This hap
pened in Washington. All of which
places our group in the position of
the child that was rescued from the
flood: High and Dry. The democrats
are not worried about us, not even
in conscience, apparently (and they
ought to be in sackcloth and ashes for
the shell game they have been playing
so long) but they are worried about
the threatening new parties that prom
Use to be born amid the turmoil and
strife" The "yellow peril and it's
prospective possibilities has the ma
jority of the favored race shaking
their heads and whispering low, for
from yellow, to brown, to black as
some view it, is 'only little WHILE"
They are seeing 'red" now, and it
does seem that some folks get very
much excited when colors are dis
cussed In the meantime Postmaster
General Burleson is endeavoring to
place himself in a position of arb
power that bears the closest scrutiny.
All of which means, according to the
highest authority: "This is no time
for idle dreaming, but direct action,

BLACK DEMOCRAT BELIEVES
PRESIDENT wilson best FRIEND
COLORED AMERICANS EVER HAD
(By Associated Negro Press)


Washington, D. c., Jan. PA plea
for the creation of a Negro industrial
commission Of five members to study
the economic problems of the Colored
race in the United States is made in
brief submitted to President Wilson
today by Giles B. Jackson, lawyer
and politician from Richmond, Va.
Jackson, who was a republican during
the Roosevelt and Taft administra-
tions, was head of the Wilson commit
tee in New York during the last two
presidential campaigns.
81 simply believe that President VIII
son is the salvation of the Colored
race-that's why I flopped," he said,
at the White House when he called
to urge his plan. "Mr. Wilson has
done more for the Colored race than
any other president and l believe he
is the right man to put forward our
movement"
The object of the commission would
be to stimulate and encourage thrift
and industry among the Negroes of
this country, according to the brief
filed by Jackson. 1t is urged that
there is no official representation of
the Negro in the government at the
present time. An appropriation of
$200,OO is sought to meet the ex-
penses of the inquiry.

that will stop speeding is to make it

Your issue cf September 2, carried
an article or the above subject by
Mr.. Oln F. Crow which l have read
with pleasure and interest. Mr..
Crow quotes a sentence from set OF
resolutions | an, Offering at the as
scciatiors a~d says that he fears it
= liable to misunderstanding. Tke
sentence IS as follows: ct is re-
p2-ted that the lsst legislature ap-
r-opriated from the public treasury
n ore than twice aS much money Tor
TIE state institutions of higher edu-
cation than it did for the common
schools" 1t will be, seen that this
statement does not say that state ap-
n.opriations are the only sources OF
il come for the COMMON schools nor IS
svch implied in the statement When
I wrcte it l thought that every man
IN The state was familiar with local
elections for school taxes, for we
hove all had to vote on such PROPOSE
tons several times in a life time.
However. II the statement is liable
r such misunderstanding, l thank
Mr.. Crow for calling attention to 1t.
For we are rot after deceiving any
o1e.
, Of course, the common schools de-
rive their funds from the constltu-
t;onal tax, local taxes and contrlou-
tons which, as Mr.. Grow says, as IN
the main in the form of some sort OF
bonus to stimulate local interest.
Further, l suppose every school dis
trict in the state has voted local
lcvies, many have voted al the law
will allow, and some few districts
have even asked the legislature Tor
s3ecial laws enabling them 20 go be-
vcnd the ordinary legal limit. Ard
vet. in spite Of ali this, it is manifest
] thfnk TO every friend Of pubic edu-
cation that there is need ior greatly
enlarged state appropriations fer our
comron schools. For instance, the
legislature las in recent years en-
acted three laws Offering certain
lo9,iSes % the common schools on
condition that the various comnlunl-
ties do 50 much. The interest IN
education among the people is so
great AID SO many communities have
met the conditions laid down by the
legislature that the state superln-
tondert Of education was able to pay
ooiv Il cents on The dollar to re-
deem the states pledges. l have II
g, GOOD, authority that it will take
something like 100000 this school
wear to meet the calls made by the
communities il the state under two
tens Ct the appropriation that car
r:ed the past school year only S'4o'-
600. If the state superintendent OF
education il; enabled to meet the
calls under these two acts and the
roYmal increases under other acts
previously passed by the legislature
I am. reliably Informed that an ap-
preparation approximately $4,000
600 will be required this school
year. whereas less than s1,OOO,OOO
