Walhalla friends Of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. G. Russell and family, Of Russell,
this county, were shocked and griev-
ed to learn Of the death, on Saturday,
the 4th instant, in Greenville. First
word that was received in Walhalla
was that a brother Of Louis, who
had only the day previous passed
through Walhalla driving a large
truck, had died suddenly, and it was
thought probable that he had met
with some accident on the road or
in Greenville. Later word, however,
brought the information that it was
Louis o. Russell, a resident Of that
city, who had succumbed to a stroke
Of paralysis.

Mr.. Russell was we'll known in
Walhalla, having spent a number Of
years here in his young manhood,
when he was just starting out for
himself, and he had friends wher-
ever he was known. Jovial and al
ways In a good humor, he attracted
to him those with whom he came in
contact, and he held friendships once
made. His death is deeply deplored
here and elsewhere in our county,
and the deepest sympathy goes out
to the bereaved ones.

THE HON. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT

The Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is
running for the vice-presidency on the
Democratic ticket, gained considerable pub
]icity by saying in recent speech that the
United States could outvote Great Britain
in the League Of Nations on account OF the
Latin American republic which it controlled.
He stated that while he was Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy he held two of these
republics and their votes in his vest pocket.
He added in burst of indiscretion that he
himself wrote the constitution of Haiti.
Colored voters will be interested in the
assertion of Mr.. Roosevelt that he was the
author of a new constitution which was
forced upon a neighboring, friendly and
formerly independent republic. But, after
all, Mr.. Roosevelts assertion may be a bit
of boasting. Perhaps he did have a hand
in shaping Haiti's new constitution Per.
haps he only approved what was done. Ma
turally the author of the work did not sign
his name to it; and MIR. Roosevelt is now
denying that he ever made any claims to
the authorship.
However, there 81 another document to
which Mr. Roosevelts official signature is
affixed that will be of greater local interest
to colored American voters than the con-
stitution Of Haiti This document was made
public four years ago. to be exact, August
8, 1916. At the time it was widely COM
mented on by the colored press of the coun-
try, but, naturally no particular Importance
was given to it's official sponsor, for he was
not then asking American voters to make
him vice-president.
Today, this document will have such
new interest for colored citizens that we
reproduce it here in full exactly as it was
issued in official form and promulgated by
Mr. Roosevelt

THE COLORED WOMAN VOTER

we nave more than once stated III these col
umns our belief that the colored women will
be less easily intimidated and kept out Of the
right Of voting than the colored men have
been. This has been realized all along by the
opponents Of Suffrage, especially those in the
South Senator John Sharp Williams said
on the floor of the Senate, ''Negro women
will not be as easily handled as Negro men
have been''
But as courageous and determined as the
colored women may be, they cannot succeed
even as voters unless they have the necessary
information and knowledge. They should be-
gin everywhere at once to learn all the pre-
liminary steps to voting and to get the actual
practice of marking ballot To this end
study classes ought to be formed in every
community. The groups that make up these
classes ought not to be too large. The per-
sons in each community who already have
knowledge of the machinery of gocernment
and politics should get together and begin to
organize these groups
Careful attention should be given to each
section Of the city or the county. The study
classes should rotate from church to church,
from hall to hall and from home to home.
Every colored woman who can possibly be
reached should be brought into these classes.
The work can be made quite interesting ii the
ledOoTS Will P1CpolC ChOIIIoOl'No'
The classes might open with twenty to thirty
minute talks on the structure of our govern
ment, from the town on up through county
and state to the national. There should also
be talks on the machinery Of politics from that
of the precinct up to that of the national con-
vention. However, the leaders OF the classes
ought to avoid any temptation to display how
much they know about these subjects; rather
should they strive to make everything they
say as simple and understandable as possible.
They should get down to the A. B. G. of it:
Then there should come palnstaklng instruc
ton in the requirements and qualifications
for voting in the community and the state.
Information regarding registration and the
places for registration, about marking bal
lot and the proper polling place at which to
vote should be given
It NAV be that those who would like to be-
gin and carry out the work outlined above 40
not feel that they possess the requisite knowl-
edge and information to do it as well as it
should be done. Any such lack may be easily
supplied: The National American Woman
Suffrage Association began the publication of
a. comprehensive course in "The Woman
Citizen'' in the isue Of April 3, 1920. Each
lesson is followed by an amplifcation of the
subject from the program OF lectures deliv-
cred before the School for Political Educa-
ton. conducted under the direction of Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. State laws vary;
party customs and usage vary in the different
st:(gss. In these lessons will be found the laws
and political usages for each state "The
Woman Citizen'' is published monthly in New

Ramsay's determination and then the two of
