THE QUESTION OF MANDATES"
BY Jonathan Cover.

In view of the efforts of Master
Minds" to dictate and control tie at
titude, affinities and destinies of peo-
pies and nations, the thoughtful citizen
whether white or black, has doubtless
asked himself many times, "What Is
the world coming to, and whittier are
we drifting"
The answer has been satisfactory or
discouraging; optimistic or the re-
verse, according to the education. tcni-
nerament or environment of the indi-
vidual.
IT should be remembered, however,
that on account of the peculiar status
of the group of ten million Americans
known as Negroes. status tina. is
most cruelty and unjustly imposed, the
viewpoint is very likely one-sided and
personal, rather than general and all
inclusive.
Accustomed as he is to the jarring
antagonisms engendered through the
bitterness of tradition; the studied de-
fense and promotion of racial preju-
dice and fast shut up in the lions jaw
of caste prescription, it is but natural
that this should be so.
He has been seeking the best way
out for more than a half-century, ard
much as a trapped and winged-tirei

COPS EXPOSE FAKE ASSAULT
STORY.
White Man Gained His Wife Had Been
Assaulted and Cut by Yellow Negro
Wife Admits Husband Stabbed
Her Three Times After Quarrel
over Work

Raleigh, N. O., Oct. 4.-Here is a
story told by Charles Evans to the
police:
Il and my wife were lying in bed.
A yellow Negro entered, attacked me.
knocking me unconscious, and stole n
sum of money variously estimated at
from $75 to $3.50. While l was un-
conscious, he attempted to assault my
wife, and in the struggle stabbed her
three times with knife. When L re-
covered both of them had gone"
Such report to local police was
enough to start rumors of posse, and
a lynching to the guilty man when ap-
pretended. 1t is the kind of occur
renee that usually precedes mob vio-
lence in this section.
Meantime the wife had been carried
10 the Rex hospital suffering with Sc
we're gashes in her head and body, from
which blood flowed profusely. Her
clothing was disarranged. This is her
story:
"My husband and I were lying on
the bed in our room. We had quar-
relied on account of his idleness avid
heavy drinking when out of work.
Without warning he reached for 4
dirk, stabbed me in the head and in
the neck and third time in the back.
l rushed out of the house and called
for help"
The dirk penetrated the womaa's
lung and she may die. Evans, eviden,-
ly, attempted to commit suicide, bur at
the last moment lacked the nerve. The
bullet entered his left shoulder.

AMERICAN LEGION RECOGNIZES
COLORED VETERANS

Cleveland Ohio-The American Le-
gion National Convention, which re-
Gently adjourned in this city, was
forced to declare itself in favor of the
Negro soldier being given the right in
every state to organize posts as pro-
vided in the national constitution of
the legion.
The matter did not come up on the
floor of the convention, but was set
tied in the committee hearings.
The issue was brought up by Attor-
ney Robert Owens of st. Louis, who
was given ten minutes to present argu-
ments in favor of his comrades in the
southern states. The representatives
from Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina took exception to their states
being singled out for criticism and
stated that their recent state conven-
ton had decided that the colored sol
diers would be admitted under the
same conditions that governed the
white soldiers.
Eleven Negroes were delegates to
the convention, representing Missouri,
Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois,
Washington, d. c., and New Jersey.
They We're treated with the same re-
spect by the local posts as accorded
other delegates The most of them
stopped at the Hollenden Hotel, but
Colonel Denison, of Chicago, was as
signed room ut the Statler.
The Missouri delegation had selected
the Statler as the headuarters, but
refused to back Attorney Owens In his
demands that he be given a room
there. The hotel management claimed
that they had no rooms left.
In discussing the Japanese uestion,
the California representatives referred
to "unassimable people" and pleaded
for support from the different states
pledged to aid them in excluding the
Japanese. South Carolina quickly came
TO the aid of the California delegation,
which was asking for immediate action
on the matter, and one of the dele
gates said his sympathies went to the
Pacific coast states, because the south
faced the same problem with the
Negro. Attorney owens, under a ques-
tion of personal privilege, challenged
tho statements made derogatory to the
colored people, and the Californian an
swered him by saying that If their re-
marks were susceptible of any inter-
pretation that reflected on the Ne
proes opologies were forthcoming.
hot-headed delegate from South ouro-
lima in an incorporate speech saiu
that If the legion desired him to apolo-
gize to any colored man for his mar
row views, that he should no longer
be considered member of the legion
This provoked laughter. The discus
sion had come up at the time Oh liie
election of officers and on point Oh
order the chair directed that the elec-
tion proceed.
Kansas City was selected as the
next meeting place. Mahs VI '
ern delegation claimed Missouri hau
failed them at every critical moment
especially when the Missouri deieea-
ton failed to support in whole the OPP
position to the bonus measure. A''
measure was opposed by the southern
delegation because they claimed too
much money would go to the Negro eA-
soldiers.

for boys.
Joe Williams, n colored boy at IS
years of age, living in Greensville
county, learned how to secure a large
yield of corn from a well-made seed
bed, into which he had put carefully
selected seed and on which he had ex-
pended careful cultivation.
During two years Joe Williams was
the champion of the local colored Farm
Makers Club.

''The war did 1t all, too. We'repay-
ing Just ten times more to Uncle Sam
In internal revenue this year than we
did In 1914. We paid so little then
one-tenth Of TX cents a day-and we
paid it so indirectly that few Of Us
realized that there really was such a

Sam. At last the old party has
found us. Since then a lot Of US have
fought and died for him. And If he's
worth dying for he's worth support
