THE CoLonrD MAN AND DEMOCRACY

".
rhe Tulsa star. weekly paper published by
and in The interest OF colored citizens carries in
its last weeks issue n story Of what It char
acterizes as the greatest political meeting ever
held In the coiored section OF the city The
event, It appears. the meeting of the Colored
Democratic club. before which Mayor Hubbard
and his secretary appeared asking the endorse
ment OF tho organization, which was given amid
eloquent enthusiasm.
The event may or may not be properly ac-
cepted as part OF the political evolution going
on all over the country But It In intensely in
teresting TO those who have participated In okla
homa politics from the beginning. 1t will seem
strange II not impossible. to some to read of
colorod democratic club under tho patronage of
"a colored democratic paper, dispensing absolu-
tion to democratic oIaily
in oklahoma.
But that spectacle is neither more surprising
nor amusing, than to see "A democratic official
who is seeking reelection, appearing both by
proxy and In person before a black tribunal OF
sovereign voters and from such authority solicit
ing the favor OF political approval and absolu-
ton
We say such 4 spectacle Is strange indeed To-
those of us who came through the first cam
palgnS In the imperial commonwealth of okla
Roma, which were won by triumphant dcmoc-
racy led by statesmon who vociferously and TO
hunderous applause enuncated tho doctrine
that that the "nigger has rights except TO
black my boots" in the case OF the gentleman
who aspired to the United States senate; and
wrote into their platforms the solemn pledge
later redeemed let II be said in all candor, to
segregatc. dsfranchise and ignore their cx-
slaves and their descendants.
We appear in this matter not to criticise not
10 point moral. but to marvel And TO applaud
the certainty of not only gaming the franchise
and voice in the direction of affairs. but more
than a modicum Of subservency from their
enemy by the mere and easy subterfuge OF
changing their party allegiancel
what mean to say is that wo can follow
the philosophy OF the colored statesmen, but
find 1t exceedingly difficult 20 trace the thread
of consistency in the action OF the democratic
candidates or to account for an Oklahoma
clientele that will condone it.
Politics does indeed make strange bedfeIiows
But who, we ask in all sincerity. ever imagined
the day when representatives OF the white
mans party in Oklahoma" would covertly seek
% common political bed with their colored com
patriots?
Verify "the world do move" And A rant
admiration for the established fact that Okla
homa moves with II, we pause to pay belated
uioute TO the growing democracy of both the
democratic party and the Afro-American voter
of oklahoma! The race war OF the Haskell
era has been happily concluded by an armistce.

ABOLISH THE WAR BOARDS

The World has on sundry occasions urged the
abandonment Of all war boards and organlza-
tons just az fast as possible. In the universal
need for rigid economy and the reacceptanca OF
old rules OF thrift 1t has insisted that plain duty
required the government to not only point the
way but lead the procession. There were bless
,ngs that came to America q result OF the
war. One OF the courses is the popular habit Of
thinking In terms OF millions and billions, and
the disposition to conduct our daily life on the
assumption that the period Of initiation will go
on forever,
Yet few II any OF the governmental war boards
have been abolished. This matter is again called
TO our attention by a letter from Helen Titz
