GENERAL WOOD CHAMPIONS
CAUSE OF COLOREO
AMERICANS.
(By Edgar G. Brown.)

Indianapolis Ind, March 1, 1920.
"HE immortal Lincoln was the
first great American to deal
- Justly with the black man. He
set us free, but the assassin's bullet
pierced his brain before he could give
to us all the instrumentalities for our
advancement as full fledged American
citizens.
In our generation the late Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the
door of equality to his colored brother
when he stood for square deal to all
men regardless of race or color. Book
er L. Washington dined with him even
though the whole country put up
howl. But now he has been taken
from our midst
God in His wise providence, how
ever, has not left us without cham
pion. He has raised up General Leon
ard Wood, the greatest living Ameri-
can, to lead His people. You know we
need never be disheartened for we are
Gods children.
Leonard Wood publicly addressed us
at the Lincoln League, saying: TO
day the important thing is Law and
Order. There is no group that stands
for Law and Order more than you col
ored people. You should be protected
from mob violence. You should--have
equal rights. There should be no class
legislation we should have free and
untrammeled United States"
Not since the days of Lincoln have
such words been uttered by man
seeking presidential honors. He tells
us where he stands and any candidate
for President who does not publicly
state his position on the race question
cannot expect the colored vote.
General Wood will be the next great
Republican leader if two million of
colored voters have anything to say
about it, "a second Teddy, folks A
second Teddy"
Any man or woman twenty-one years
old can organize local Wood club by
writing first to the National Colored
Peoples Wood-for-Presldent Club, In
dianapOlis, Ind, for literature, buttons
and other free Instructions. This is
an opportunity for colOred men and
women to prove to General Wood that
they want man for President who
will give every American, black or
white, Square Deal.

BAR CHINESE CHILDREN
FROM WHITE SCHOOLS

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 27.-According
to ruling made public by Attorney
General Frank Robertson, Chinese
children in Mississippi will not be per
mitted to attend schools with white
children. He interpreted the consti-
tutional reference to "colored race" to
include all excepting the Caucasian
race, and that if Chinese children at
tend school in Mississippi, they must
go to school with members of the Ne
gro race"

ty, made up entirely of colored people,

Leonard Woods qualifications for
