CANADA Did WELL

Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid,

Further evidence. if any were needed.
of the friendly relations between Can
ada and the United States might
have been found by a visit to the In
ternational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American
were TO be found side by side in the

were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points Of great interest and here
Canada did wen, securing many
prizes.
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
in the oats class Canada carried
away - of them A sample OF oats

W. Lucas of Cayley, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were - first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % of
them.
The greatest interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships were awarded TO a number, and
first prizes were common. The same
may be said of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently, there
were many entries, and this old-time
popular breed had an unusual num-
Der of admirers. This was especially

done at the Live Stock show. In
Clydesdales Canada won places in
every class in which entries were
made
The same story could be repeated In
sheep ana hogs, honors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important Is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks,
Alberta, Ia competition with 40 en-
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry, which is
always linked with it-a further Inn

in prison for mayhem, after a trial
behind closed doors in the Jefferson
circuit court, will be given another
trial before the public in an open

supreme court Thursday which de-
MED the application for rehearing
filed by the SKATE.
When wade's case was called all
persons except witnesses, attorneys
and relatives of the defendant and
the complaining witness were ex-
cluded from the court room. Wade's
attorneys made no protest. but when
the jury convicted him they filed an
application for another trial on the
ground that his rights guaranteed by
the constitution were invaded when
the public was excluded. The court
of appeals affirmed the lower court,
announcing that Wade had not made
his motion for a public trial within
the proper time. but had waived it.
The supreme court reversed the de-

c. 0. P. MOTIVE IN
KNIT ING" JOHNSON
IS A DEEP MYSTERY
Harding Double Crossed by
Senate, In Opinion of Ne
gro Nominated by
President
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS


500 Davidson Building.
Washington, November 25.-(Spe-
cial.)-The motive of the republican
party in silently but effectively
knitting" Henry Lincoln Johnson, ma
tional committeeman from Georgia,
constitutes an apparently unsolvable
mystery. When the Senate declined
to confirm him as register of deeds
of the District of Columbia, 70 which
post President Harding assigned him
as reward for his efforts in the
campaign last fall, and in which post
he served. as an appointee of former
President Taft, the republicans
double crossed" him, in the opinion
of the negro himself.
The republicans declare that their
action was based on the fact that
Johnson was personally obnoxious to
the senators from Georgia, both of
whom are democrats But such de-
tense cannot apply when the office to
which an appontee has been named
is not concerned with the state from
which the senators come. Under Taft
johnson was obnoxious TO the SEN
ators who then represented Georgia.
But johnson was confirmed.
Wanted the Job
The rejection of johnson by the re-
publicans of the Senate will have eff
feet on the situation in several states
of the union where the negro is
strong numerically. There are many
districts and several states wherein
the negro constitutes the balance of
power The negro vote in Ohio is

johnson, during the last campaign,
was effective among the negroes of
the United States. He boasts, and
there is no dispute of his assertion.
that the republican party lost no ne
gro vote last fall. When the fight
was over, johnson asked for reward.
The President offered him the office
in which he had formerly served. that
of register of deeds in the District of
Columbia.
When he was given this office he
was deprived of the patronage of
Georgia new republican executive
committee was raised Johnson was
apparently satisfied to be thus shorn
of authority He wanted the job.
And then the republicans turned him
down.
Cleared of Charges
There were charges filed against
johnson. But a subcommittee of the
committee of the District of Column
bia cleared him of all such charges.
When the Senate in executive session
considered his appointment the two
Georgia senators declared him obnox-
ious. He was rejected.
1t is understood that while ma
jority of the negroes of the United
States insisted that Johnson be given
the office, a minority opposed him.
This minority feared, 1t is under
stood, that Johnson would be recog-
nized as the" negro in the United
States. That this minority convinced
the republicans that they might re-
ject johnson in safety is possible, but
it Is disputed.
There is satisfaction among demo-
Gratis that Johnson Is rejected II
was held to be obnoxious that this
negro should lord it over an office
the working force in the main of
which consisted of white girls. But
such consideration in the past had
given the republicans no pause.

Japan Instructs Her
Delegates to Work for
a Higher Naval Ratio

Toxic, November 25.-A cabinet
council held yesterday, according to
the newspapers, resulted in a de-
cison TO instruct the Japanese dele
gates to the Washington conference
to do their utmost to maintain a 10
per cent ratio with regard to naval
armament.
1t appears to have been the atti-
tude Cf the ministers that less than
10 per cent ratio would be insult
fcient for the national defense.
The Asahi Shimbun says 1t also was
decided by the ministers to instruct
the delegates to press the question
of dismantling Pacific Qualifications,
alleging that these Qualifications
cannot be considered apart from the
question of naval reduction.

This message is a clarion call to

policy for the reduction of the ma

Hughes. Realizing that the presen

is danger of reaction, church leaders
are continuing with increased eff
forts their campaign of education in
behalf of a mutual reduction of arm

world.
Knowing that America alone can
not act, they are actively co-operat-

countries in an effort to create world
wide public opinion. not only for the
adoption of the Hughes proposals and
a mutual reduction in armament, but
also for the creation of international
justice and good will and the estah-
