REPUBLICAN PAP THROWERS.

In pursuance of the traditional
policy of the Republican party to Sc
lect a few public posts and appoint
negroes to fill them, in that way set
thing political obligations, the presi-
dent has named Henry Lincoln John
son, a Georgia negro lawyer, to be
register of deeds of the District of
Columbia. A few years ago Republi-
cans further appeased the negro vot-
ers of the North by appointing ne
groes to office in the South, but that
custom seems TO be falling into decay
1t will be observed that, notwth-
standing the migration in the last
four years of half million Southern
negroes to Northern states, where
they now live and vote the Republic
can ticket, no negro has been elected
to the United States senate or to the
lower house of Congress. Between
1876 and 1886, negro Democrats re-
ceived more political recognition in
South Carolina than Republican ne
groes have ever had in any Northern
state in the same length of time.
At one time the Office of register
of deeds in the District of Columbia
was tacitly regarded as negro prop
erty during a Republican administra-
ton and, if it be the Republican idea
to pay political debts to negro voters
by assigning to them three of four
or a half dozen posts of this char
acter, one must doubt the wisdom of
the protest of Senator Pat Harrison /
and other Democrats against the
appointment /!
The white women employed in the
Palatka daily news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1919-1994, 1921-07-05

not abandon their religion OF the
Injuries that they enjoy even for
politics. So long as they must COM
pete against a solid array of white
voters, they know that the compe-
tition is hopeless.
Hence, the only chance for negro
Republican party in the South to
exist lies in the financial assistance
from Northern rich men. That means
that it will be small party and in
evitably corrupt. 1t would be well
nigh impossible for any negro politi-
clan to receive $11, 900 and spend it
in political activities in this state
without spending it more OF less cor
cuptly. This President Harding and
every other intelligent politician
must understand and it follows that
when Lincoln johnson, who handles
the funds of Governor Lowden in
Georgia, is appointed to an office, the
system by which skeleton Republi-
can states organizations are main
tanned in the South is recognized as
legitimate and good. Were all ne
groes qualified for the suffrage regis
tered in the, South, they would have
not the slightest chance to win in
elections against a solid white mans
party. Fraud and intimation has long
since ceased to be even useful in
maintaining white supremacy south
of the Mason and Dixon line.
The negroes are too poor as we'll
as too ignorant to hope for success
against white solidarity and this is
fact that ought to be plain to OBJ
servers of political affairs.
1t is no present concern of ours
whether the Republican party sue
coed in organizing healthy state
party organizations in the South or
not, but it will never organize them
until the white people divide and the
white people will never permanently
divide so long as division implies
equality in political partnership with
the negroes.
Palatka daily news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1919-1994, 1921-07-05

Office of the register of deeds feel
that they should not be compelled to
work under = negro's direction, but
these women come from all sections
of the country and no distinctly
Southern" question is involved. If
the Republican administration can
ignore the objections of white wo-
men Of its own party, perhaps the
South can stand it, too. So long as
the Northern negroes are content to
accept the appointment of half "a
dozen Lincoln Johnsons in fRll salts
faction of their claims on the Re-
publican party and that party is
equally pleased with the bargain, it
might be as well for the country to
forget the whole matter. As the
WARS pass the Republicans may find
in Liberia and Haiti and other ne
gro lands a sufficient number of Jobs
for the more pestferous and OBJ
streperous colored statesmen with
whom they make up so snugly once
in four years.
The objection of Senator Harrison
to the appointment of Johnson, that
he received $11 900 of Governor Low
den's campaign fund last year, has
a sounder basis. Receivers and dis
tributors of the money or rich men
for political purposes ought to be the
last to be rewarded with public of
fees.
Meanwhile, the want of money goes
far to explain the want of a re-
spectacle Republican party in Geor-
gia and other Southern states. The
white people are nearly all enlisted
in the Democratic party and, great
as has been the gains of the negroes
in acquiring property, they are as a
mass poor people by comparison with
the whites. Without funds, in these
days, a political party cannot OPP
crate. The Southern negroes are pre-
pOnderantly race of peasant farm
ers, the great majority of them land
less, or day laborers. Even those who
own farms are as rule small farm
ers and poor Their relative poverty
is itself a sufficient explanation of
the continuing failure to erect and
maintain negro party in the South
ernstates.
In South Carolina, for example, we
suppose that Democratic campaign,
if the expenditures of candidates, the
value of time given by party workers
and all contributions be included,
costs some hundreds of thousands of
dollars, perhaps half a million. The
negroes, in their present condition,

POLAND HAS A CHANCE.

Although much publicity has been
given to the Victory of Germany in
the submission to the people as to the
fate of Upper Silesia, it seems quite
possible that the end is not yet.
The Plebiscite Commission will rem
der its report on the vote and its
recommendations as to boundaries
shortly. but the Supreme Council Of
the League of Nations has the final
say as to those boundaries.
1t seems that the Poles. despite the
fact that they were outnumbered in
votes in much of the disputed terri
tory. had pluralities in such rich dis
tricts as the coal basin of Rybnik.
1t is quite possible, according to the
latest reports, that concessions will be
made to the Germans in these dis
tricts in return for concessions made
to the Poles in other places. The AL
lied Powers still hold the fate of that
country in their hands.
And for the comfort of Poland be
ii said that the Supreme Council is
composed of human beings who, try
as they may to be impartial. cannot
fail to keep in remembrance the
contrast between Poland and Ger
many. While hoping that just deci-
sion will be made in this matter, one
is compelled to believe that the Polish
side of fhe matter, especially. will be
considered from all viewpoints and
that such consideration will rebound
to the advantage of that country.

before. There is nothing to be gained
by deprecating the new forms of
amusement. They. many of them, are
as deserving and perhaps more so
than the old-fashioned methods of
diversion.

Lawes has said. that criminals hold
life a cheap gamble. So much the
worse for the criminals and so much
the worse for those whose spirit in

one more argument for those who
hold that life means something only
to those who take and enjoy what is
best i'm it-best in work-best in play!
Let criminals. and the criminally or

LIGHTS and Shadows
By John J. DAILY

TIME ~
Time is the giver of gifts
And Time is the taker away:
Watch. Through his fingers he Sits
The raven locks, turning them gray.
Slowly and surely he grinds,
Polishing life's precious gems:
Frightening geniuses' minds,
Cutting off buds at the stems;
Blossoming maidens with love,
Sparkling their eyes with a kiss,
Holding the sinners above,
Crowding the saints in abyss;
Brushing a tear from the cheek,
Causing a sorrow to stay,
Bringing a casket a week,
Stealing a diamond a day.
Time is thief and churl
Mixing the pure with alloy,
Chilling the heart Of a girl,
Killing the hopes of boy.
Within the palms of his hands,
Glist'ning like gold in the sun,
Time holds Eternity's sands
Marking the grains as they run;
Smiling, he watches the drifts
Flooding the Valley of Clay;
For Time is a giver of gifts,
And Time is a taker-away.
