ATLANTA CELEBRATES.

Atlanta, the barbarous capital of
murderous Georgia, is to celebrate
May "a. The affair to be pulled off
in the capital city of the more or
less grand old commonwealth is in
honor of Henry w. Grady. ~
Who was Grady?
Grady was the real father of the
segregation propaganda movement
which was carried into the North.
He was one of the most bitter and
unrelenting foes of the colored peo-
pie the country has ever produced;
but his hostility was cloaked under a
"Christian interest in the welfare of
the negro" He did not hesitate to
go to Boston in the state of Car
rison and Sumner, and at a public
dinner advocate segregation for COL
ored citizens. He said the South
would provide equal but separate &C
commodations on railroads and in
public places. Of course the South
ern people had no intention of pro-
viding any kind of equality for COL
ored people even along segregated
lines, because the whites are taught
from the cradle up that colored peo-
pie are inferior. The South does not
believe that colored person is a
human being in the same sense that
white person is.
Just now there is great hullaba-
loo about treating the negro with
justice' because "outsiders," that is,
the u. S. Department of Justice
came into the state and unearthed
the peonage murders. Now the Geor-
gia governor and few other whites
are afraid that Northern capital will
be diverted from the state, so
cleanup has been started. Let US
hope there will be sincere effort to
punish those guilty of atrocities.

"OF ONE BLOOD"

We have frequently read of certain
tests being employed to determine
the presence of Negro blood in in
dividuals who were so fair and eau
casianlike in appearance that such
tests were deemed necessary by per-
sons who for some reason wished to
know without doubt. III
All great scientists who have in
vestigated the matter have decided
that such tests are not reliable and
of no value whatever; and, now,
comes DR.. Brady, an eminent author
ity. who edits column i'll a number
of daily papers who answers a ques-
tioner by saying: :''NO SUCH TESTS
ARE KNOWN" .
And the Bible told us long ago
that God made all men of one blood.

MINNESOTA'S ~ANTELYNCHING
r. LAW, VI. e-

The colored people of Minnesota
are much elated over the passage of
what is known as the "Anti- Lynching
Law" this week; which provides that
as much as $500 may be recovered
by the kin Of a person lynched by a
mob; and, that the sheriff of any
county in which a lynching occurs,
may be suspended from office if he
does not fully protect prisoners from
mobs.
Thus the great state Of Minnesota
falls in line with the states Of Ala
bama, Louisiana, Kentucky, South
Carolina, Kansas, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, California, Maine, New
Hampshire, Illinois, New Jersey and
Wisconsin, which have laws involv-

have all state laws modified where
they exist to the discriminating of
women.
This is quite different from the ma
tional colored organizations which,
without exception, compromise on
some fundamental point and while in
some cases pretend to be working to
abolish segregation, are actually seek
ing to establish it in one form or
another. -. ~. .z....-
\ The jimcrow colored leaders ought
to wash their dirty hands and "come
clean," and then join their brothers

all legal hindrances, by asking Con
gress to pass a blanket bill removing
all racial determinations with which
it has the power to deal. =. :.

THE RACE QUESTION.

In his first message to Congress
President Harding said:
Congress. ought to wipe the stain
of barbaric lynching from the ban
ners of free and orderly, repre-.
sentative democracy. We face the
fact that many millions of people OF
African descent are numbered among
our population and that in a number
OF the states they constitute a very
large proportion of the total popu-
lation. >>~s.
1T IS unnecessary to recount the
difficulties incident to this condition
nor to emphasize the fact that it is
a condition which cannot be removed
There has been a suggestion, how.
ever, that some of it's difficulties
might be ameliorated by humane
and enlightened consideration of it.
a study of its many aspects and an
effort to formulate, if not a policy,
at least a national attitude of mind
calculated to bring about the most
satisfactory possible adjustment of
relations between the races, and of
each race to the national life. ~
Zone proposal is the creation of a
commission embracing representatives
of both races, to study and report
on the entire subject. The proposal
has real merit. I am convinced in
mutual tolerance, understanding, char
ity, recognition of interdependence of
the races and the maintenance of the
rights of citizenship lies the road to
righteous adjustment .

EXPECT RESULTS FROM CLUBS

Beautiful Sections Are Hailed
With Much Enthusiasm.

The beautiful mile" idea, we un-
derstand, originated in the mind Of
Billie Maltby, the manager of the
club, who Is actively engaged in work
ing out the details Of the club. In
our opinion he has conceived an idea
which is going to result in great good
in the building of better roads, better
homes, and the making Of better cit
izenship. The idea is taking root In
other sections, and we would not be
surprised to see beautiful mile"
clubs organized all over Alabama with
In the next IL months. The idea will
be carried into the towns and cities
and beautiful street" clubs will be
organized. Everybody will want to
live on a beautiful mile" road or a
beautiful street." And, in the lam
guage of the Birmingham News, Billie
Maltby has started something which
Is going to keep the eyes of the public
on the original beautiful mile" club.
They are going to see what it does
and how it does 1t. Here's hoping
that they come up to the full expec-
tations Of those who are looking on

COMPARES WELL WITH CITY
Average American Small Town, In
Fact, Is Definitely More PIeasur-
able Abiding Place.

The churches in nearly every small
town are centers of wholesome activ-
ity, nor Is society In any Of them like
insipid gaucherie pictured to US as
typical in an imaginary town Of best
seller" Small talk may predominant
at any gathering, but that Is true In
the city, and there may be lack OF
the super-refiAements of manner and
Of dress, but whether that Is to the
credit or the discredit OF the small
town is at least debatable. AS for
brains and enterprise and energy, why,
the small town In America Is their
breeding ground. 1t Is from the small
towns and the farms that the cities
Of America draw their vitality. How
many Of the men and women whose
names are found In who's Who In
America" are or were small-town
people? Most Of them. And those
who left the small town for the city
did so, as rule, not because there
was lack of beauty, Of refinement or
of taste at home, but because they
sought larger opportunity. The small
town is not gross, nor unlOvely. II,
speaking collectively, is the cherished
abiding place of millions Of Ameri-
cans who compare In every worthy
attribute with the inhabitants Of cities,
and whose faults and virtues are In
herently the faults and virtues OF
America itself.-Exchange.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TOWN
Matters on Which Prospective Citizen
Will Do Well to Satisfy Him
self Before Locating.

In the opinion of one who has given
much thought to the question Of civic
betterment along various lines, the
following points should be settled to
his satisfaction before decision to
make home In any town Is definitely
arrived at:
Living-Can we live reasonably and
well in that town? Are the best of
modern c0nveniences available for It's
residents electricity, gas, telephone,
etc.? Are the housing and shopping
conditions favorable? Rents, taxes,
and prices fair? Hotels good? Home
and truck gardens and dairy products
plentiful?
Accessibility-Can we go and come
easily2 Does the town have adequate
railroad connections and train serv-
Ice? Street car lines? Interurban
lines? Well-marked automobile routes
and hard-surface roads?
Business-Can make good use of
capital In that town? Are there bank
ing facilities? Manufacturing inter-
ests? Up IL date stores? Good ship
ping facilities? Favorable labor cor
ditions? A prosperous farming ter
ritory? Active cooperation among
business interests?
EmplOyment-Can / get a job In
that town at fair pay and with good
prospects for the future? Can Tcount
on cooperation from organizations
making it their business to help In
trOduce and establish new commercial
interests and to welcome new cit
liens?
Progressiveness-Shall I find that
am in a town having progressive
city government, active civic organ
ization, modern fire protection, and
pull-together spirit In everything

5. Many other forms OF assistance
which will suggest themselves as the
service grows, will be required.
The success of the great humanitar-
ian and economic movement will be
measured by the kind and extent of CO.
operation secured from the industrial
and business world, from social work
ers, from Wisconsin citizens in gener-
al. It is urgent that the people interest
themselves in this law for it is to their
advantage to do 10.
In extreme instances, the ntate is
prepared to advance funds to haEdi-
cap to enable him to buy the needed
appliance. That amount may be repaid
to the state ins small installments
when the handicapped person is again
employed at the remunerative occupa-
ton.
What is Reeducation
By reeducation il meant training for
new job. For example lathe"
worker having lost his arm, may en-
counter difficulties in resuming work
with the aid of an artificial arm. In
such cases. it may be possible to train
him for ''lay OUT ofan inspection"
job. In all cases, training will be close
ly related to the former occupation, If
it is physically possible to do SO. Some
times accidents incapacitate work
man completely. Some other form of
reeducation then is obviously necessary.
Training may be furnished in any of
the following ways, depending upon
which type proves the most suitable
for the individual needs:
~ Training ''on the job" with per-
sonal instruction from an employee,
foreman, or superintendent.
(2) Attending vocational or trade
school.
(3) instruction by private tutor.
"a Training through correspondence
courses.
In all cases the state furnishes this
training without cost to the trainee.
After the period of training, when
the trainee has become proficient in
his new occupation, our agent will Sc
cure satisfactory employment for the
handicapped if possible. This is what is
contemplated by placement.
obviously, with our present small
staff, the program outlined above will
involve more personal attention to
each case than our staff can give and
at the same time cover the entire state
adequately.

Industrial Plants In Small Towns.
The small town as potential In
dustrial asset has already been util-
tied to some extent by manufacturers,
chiefly those seeking relief from labor
troubles in the cities. In some indus
tries, where there Is an enormous pro-
duction of standardized parts, the only
difficulty to be met is transportation,
and it is reasonable to believe that
good roads and motor trucks will solve
that problem. If so, the small town
may again become the backbone of
