ASSERTS GRAHAM BILL
MIGHT BAR NEGRO NEWS

James Weldon Johnson. field secre-
tary of the Association for Advance
ment of the Colored Race, protested
against the Graham bill. because of
provisions which would prohibit
transmission through the mails of any
publication indicating race prejudice
He put into the record a statement
from the association, which contends
that this section could be construed
and interpreted in such manner as
would bar from the mails naarlN
every negro newspaper and magazine
which is being published in the coun-
try today.
THE negro press is opposed TO ap
peals to racial prejudice and one Of
the reasons for the existence of the
negro press is to fight appeals 10
racial prejudice" the statement ex-
plains, but if this section of thu
Graham bill becomes a law the negru
press may be denied the right to voice
the legitimate protest of colored peo-
pie against wrong and injustice. I'm
der such a section mere printing OF
facts and data about lynching might
make a publication non-mailable."

PACT COMPROMISE
REPORTED NEARER

After being on the verge of a final
break, the bipartisan conference On
the peace treaty today appeared near
err a compromise agreement than ever
before, it was reported. While the
conferees are Withholding all details
of their work, it was learned that a
compromise on the reservation on ar
ticle X of the league of nations cove
nant is in fair, way to be had: This
has been regarded as the principal
stumbling block in the way of a set
tlement.
The language of the proposed COM
promise on Article X is not available,
but it is understood that it reads
practically as follows:
The United States assumes no obli-
cation to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of any
other country except the exercise of
the friendly right to use it's good of
fees. or to interfere in controversies
between nations-whether members of
the league or not-under the provisions
of article X, or to employ the military
or naval forces of the United States
under any article of the treaty for any
purpose, unless in any particular case
the Congress, which has the sole power
to declare war or to authorize the en-
ployment OF the military or naval
forces of the United States, shall by
act or joint resolution so provide"
The change in the original reserva-
ton proposed by the compromise lies
in the phrase except the exercise of
the friendly right to use it's good
Offices"
Many Changes Agreed To.
If the controversy over article 10
can be settled it is believed that the
conferences between the opposing fac
tons will be able to accomplish real
results and finally bring in a compro-
mise proposal that two-thirds of the
Senate will accept.
1t is reported that many changes
in the phraseology of the reservations
adopted by the Senate last session
have been agreed to; that there have
been concessions made on both sides.
Intercollegiate Vote Cited Again.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ad-
ministration leader in the treaty fight,
called the Senate's attention again
yesterday to results of the intercol-
legiate vote on treaty questions. He
said that of the $4,000 votes cast
less than one-tenth were in opposition
to ratification and that less than one
fifth were in favor of the Lodge res
ervationS.
Hit es oct' We're r"s said i'd by him to be-
more complete than those previously
published, including results from
eight additional colleges The re-
turns as placed by him in the Con-
gressional Record follow:
For unqualified ratification. 48.232

H STORY.

"Who shall roll away the stone
From the tomb so dark and drear?"
Sigh the loving women come
To anoint that Form so dear.
Lo, an angel robed in white
Guards the place where late he lay;
Powers of Darkness, shades of night,
May not hold the Prince of Day.
aye your risen Lord shall see,
Quickly his disciples tell,
Follow him to Galilee,
Even Peter, thrice who fell"
First to Mary will he come
Seeking where her Lord doth lie,
To his tender weIl-loved tone
"Rabboni," her glad reply.
HE was known of them in breaking
of bread"
Him they'll know in breaking bread,
Though the hands now pierced be
Which the hungry thousands fed
BY the shores of Gaiilee.
Him they'll meet from day to day
AS their earthly tasks they ply,
BY the sea, along the way
"Peace!" and "Fear not, it is II"
Forty days on earth he'll spend,
Still to put his glory by,
Then to heaven to ascend
Unto Gods right hand on high.
Follow him to Bethany,
Haven of his earthly rest,
Meet it is that thou shouldst be
With his presence latest bIest!
larry at Jerusalem,
Mourning not as comfortIess,
Till the Holy Spirit come
Here your waiting hearts to bless.
Though no more on earth, apart,
We may walk by his dear side,
Yet his spirit in each heart
To eternal truth shall guide.

They Walk With God.

Today, why should we seek the liv-
ing among the dead? Our vanished
loved ones are not in the dust of our
cemeteries; they walk with God in
white. AS shone the angel faces and
the angel robes, so shine their faces
and their white-robed forms in light.
We walk alone for a while. There are
empty places in home and church;
there are empty chairs and empty
arms; but there is a light still burning
where they were a light in the mourn
ing mothers arms, a strange, sweet
light in the home; something like a
glory in the very air, as though angels
mad swept past on cleaning wings, and
left a train of light from earth to
heaven. Oh, seek the living among
the living! Lift up your sad faces to-
ward the light, toward the smiles
which are falling from heaven, and let
this Easter time be full of faith and
hope and praise! "Why seek We the
living among the dead?" "Jesus and
his own are alive for evermore."-F.

Big Country Churches

A sick and shivering drunkafd
wandered into the old Bowery Mis-
sion in New York City n winter
night twenty-three years ago. He
left it to take the better road. To-day
that same man is n of the most sue
cessful country preachers in America.
His community church at Kasbeer, ILL.,,
is known far and wide for it's free
C~hautauqua, it's farmers institute, its
work for better schools, better farms,
better village life and its wholesome
spiritual influence that permeates an
entire county. -.
The story of the transformation OF
Frederick Baylis and the great work
of his community church is told by
A. B. Macdonald in the Country Cen
tleman of April 3rd. Though there
are only ninety persons in kasbeer the
church has 1872 members and 1t puts
on an annual Chautauqua that has
drawn 5000 people in one day. 1t
is back of a farmers institute that
has grown into proportions OF a county
fair. Thru it a modern high school
with a wide rural patronage, is re-
placing the old grade school IN the
Village. Amusements hitherto una
valuable in this little community have
been brought by the church and the
standard of living UNNECESSARILY lifted.
s.The same thing a be done i n any
community that has only n church"
saws Mr.. Baylis. 81 will take this pro-
era | I'M using here, this program
of interesting the farmers and helping
them, and with it | will rescue any
1allen, down-and-out country church
THE salvation of any country church is
in doing just what we are doing here.

light of local conditions. Many towns
that could not do It, could at least hire
enough detail work done so that the
leaders OF the movement could put n
all the time necessary for the big
issues.
Bua even paid workers do not solve
the problern. The big men OF a town,
the men who are looked up to for lead
ership, must put Their shoulder to h
wheel. Without pay, save such re-
wards as they get from the advantage
to their own business and their own
civic pride, they must put their n
thusiasm into the movement. II they

that have sprung up in every city IN
New Jersey in the past few years have
done SO without proper supervision,
With the result that there is now act

There has been little effort TO limit
the iitneys to certain routes. Inc op-
orators are obliged to give a certain
percentage of profits to the city ana
they must obey the general rules gov
erning traffic. Outside OF that, IN
Elizabeth as everywhere else, they
have been pretty free to do what they
choose in chasing the elusive nickel.
Such petty tricks as blocking street
cars by running in the tracks and the
overlooking with passengers have beer

The banning of buses from thor
oughfares upon which trolley lines
run and the restricting of freedom
along similar lines is not the best way
to improve the situation. The jltney
problem is local in it's aspect and eX-
lists in different phases in every COM

can be made to result in better service
to the public all around if closer atten-
ton is first given to preventing con-
gestion that has been brought about
