ator Harding promises to America ny

curse of lynching, which is blot upon

While it has been the rule among
colored people to look upon the Re

position assumed by Senator Harding
is n long way in advance of anything
that has been said or done in years!
Col. Franklin A. Denison, late of the
Eighth Illinois Regiment, and preseh'
assistant attorney general of that sttte'
commenting upon the attitude of the
Republican candidate for president
said: "Whatever the colored man getS
in the way of recognition or encour

party. hut Senator Harding has gone
all previous aspirants to the pres'-
dency one better by holding out Il
tangible solution of the questions that
are held as a sword of Damocles over
his head. That word of Harding's that
the federal government should get al

"Every colored man and woman VINO

and an even justice to all men should

~HICAGO Senator Warren G..
Harding's conception of the duty
of the federal government to the
loyal colored citizenship of the country
embodied in his speech accepting the
Republican nomination for president,
Mt Marion, Ohio, July %, has over
shadowed all other issues in the minds
of colored Americans. With charac-
teristic concentration Senator Harding
interpreted the fondest hopes and de-
sres of the colored people, proceeded
directly to policy that would bring
about their consummation, and drove
home and clinched an essential truth
which has been tugging for years at
the Just American heart; which has
been denied by lesser breeds without
the law" and relentlessly striven for
by the law-abiding, ambitious and pro-
gressive colOred man.
Senator Harding, in full sympathy
with the race, did not do the common
place thing; just simply condemn
lynching. Everybody does that. We
firmly believe that those who engage
in the disgraceful practice, condemn it,
The candidate for president found Il
remedy for it. He said: Il believe the
federal government should stamp out
iynching and remove that stain from
the fair name of America
From this uneQuivocal stand the
colored people of the country have
taken heart, and the hope and faith
spring eternal that with the election
of Harding there will be new era
of opportunity and endeavor open to
the race. There was no soft pedal EN-
ployed by the statement made by Sen
ator Harding, who went even further
and said 81 believe the Negro citizens
of America should be guaranteed the
endowment of their rights, that they
have earned the full measure OF citi-
zenship bestowed, that their sacrifices
in blood on the battlefields of the re-
public have entitled them TO all OF
freedom and opportunity, all of SYM
pathy and aid that the American spirit
of fairness and Justice demands"

speech is being enthusiastically re-
reived by the colored leaders all over

MISS HALLE @.
BROWN FOR HARDING
Famous Colored Woman Misquoted by
Southern Newspapers and Asso-
ciated Press in Interview

Chicago, Aug 12.-Recently hun
dreds of southern newspapers and as
many Democratic publications in the
north carried an interview purporting
to come from Miss Halle .. Brown,
president of the National Association
of Colored Women, professor at Will
berforce University, brilliant teacher
of expression and famous woman, in
which she is reported to have said that
the "Republican party has been asked
for plank in its platform and has
given splinter"
In letter addressed to Phil Fl.
Brown, publicity director of the Re
publican National committee, Miss
Brown repudiates the interview as
sample of Democratic duplicity, and
announces that she is doing everything
in her power to elect Senator Hard
ing to the presidency.
"DreadfulIy Misquoted."
II have never had any doubts of
our Republican party writes Miss
Brown. Il was dreadfully misquoted
by those southern papers. They did
not print what said about the Demo
cratic party, and that l was returning
home to work for Harding"
The Democratic party offers the col
ored people absolutely nothing Its
activities are all invested to take from
them every civic right and privilege
they secured under the Republican
party, yet its papers do not hesitate
to stoop even to point where they
misquote woman in their zeal to Gre
ate any sort of dissatisfaction in the
Republican party.
Miss Brown is sister of the late
Jere A. Brown, of Cleveland, one of
the pioneer members of the Ohio legis-
Harding and William Mckinley. 1t is
understood that the famous elocution-
list will have big part in the work
of organization among the colored
women of the country. This was prac-
tically arranged for soon after the Ma
tionaI convention had adjourned in
June.

More and more practical training for
the whole life is being recognized.
This means the uplifting of the whole
man by the grace of the Divine and
by every means that human wisdom
can suggest, and then by protecting
him from harm until he is thoroughly
established in well-doing and can aid
himself. To develop the strongest
manhood too much stress should not
be placed on the superficial things of
life. When advice is given concerning
training for life it should not be based
IN intangible dreams, but on real con
ditions that must be met and solved.
The fundamental issue in all educa-
ton for life is between training to
make things and training to make
character. 1t makes very little diff
ference what line of work a man Sc.
lects for his vocation, SO long as his
choice is that for which the world has
need and car use, but it makes much
difference how he performs the task
he selects. ~Carpentering, dressmak.
ing, bookkeeping, etc, are not taught
primarily that a house shall be built,
that a dress shall be made and that
books shall be kept, but that the re.
cipient shall gain intelligence, self.
mastery and skill. All training should
be directed towards perfecting the
mind and will.
The primary object of all vocational
training should be educational hat is,
that the work done should be with the
view to perfect the student in the best
processes and to make him scientific,
ally and practically a first class me,
chanic. The purpose of any of this
training is not to assist numbers OF
young people to support only them
selves, but to enable hundreds of them

ing the school year. Sixty or
OF these young artisans are busy at
this time constructing a building for
the School District the market value
of which will exceed $500 when com
pleted.
Many of the young men of the trade
department have been earning wages
as high as $500 and $500 per day.
Some are contracting for themselves
and doing well. Calls are coming to
me almost daily for mechanics which
l cannot fill because of the limited sup
ply of those who are trained. Many
of the strongest of our trade students
will enter schools to further the work
they have done here within the past
three years. These young men will
use their training to pay their ex-
penses in other institutions.
A man is all the stronger If he is
able to perform some one task well,
regardless as to what his profession
may be. 1t has been we'll said that
work is one of the best educators of
practical character. All that is great
and good in man m through work,

The demand for men with trained
minds and hands in all parts of the
country has caused vocational depart

with school systems generally. The
products of these schools will fail If

A humanized conception of vocation

larger aims there must be intelligence

tinue to emphasize the educative value
of all round training rather than the
money value of the product, and that
the intellectual ability of the student
is increased rather than diminished, in
more trade work.
, The Smith-Hughes Act, now a fed.

schools of special training to be estab.

schools are not being opened for any

Twenty-six years ago C. H. Countee
left Memphis, Tenn, and decided to
locate in Kansas City. After being
here a short time he decided an un-
dertaking business would be a good
business in Kansas City. He made
his thoughts known to his father,
Rev. r. N. Countee, who has since
passed away, and induced him to come
to Kansas City. In the midst of dis
couragement, they decided to make
the venture, so opened and conducted
the first establishment of it's kind in
the state, hence they were the pio-
neers. At that time they had the op-
position of several white firms, who
were burying the colored people. AT
ter several years of bitter struggling,
the people began to understand that
a colored man could do undertaking
as well as a white one. Just at that
stage, others came into the field and
helped gather the harvest. Not being
