"NONE so BLIND AS THOSE WHO
WONT SEE"

Representative Clark of Florida,
speaking before the House census
committee, denounced the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People as an organization
composed of "Meddling, fussing" per-
sons who "are working on IGNORANT
Negroes of the South to keep them
selves in good positions" Mr.. Clark
needs a lot of information about the
N. A. A. C. P. which he seems not to
have, and his denunciation certainly
shows his ignorance and color preju-
dice-another evidence of ignorance.
Mr.. Clark is, however, wise enough
to see that if the object sought by the
N. A. A. c. P. in it's contention before
the committee is obtained, his chances
for polishing the seat of his pants on
a seat in Congress will be mighty un.
sartin. Hence his objection.

Viewed from every angle the pres
entation last Saturday night, by
Everywoman Progressive Council, at
Union Hall, of The Deacon's Awak-

augmented by Mrs. w. T. Francis,
proved to be most alspicious open

The hall was comfortably filled
when the performance began, owing
to the "Be On Time" movement adj

Another striking feature was the
presentation of the Copley Print of
the 72nd Mass. Regiment by Mrs. w.

WOULD "coNvERT" THE JEWS.

Some members Of the Episcopal
board of missions favor the raising Of
a fund of $1,OOO,O00 for the purpose
of converting the Jews, because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be
coming atheistic:
This move brought quick retor1
from many of the rabbis, three Of
whom we quote: a. ..
Attempts to convert the Jew
have never been successful" said
Rabbi Joseph stolz Of Isaiah Temple
land the thronged synagogues refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith" "
Rabbi Stolz said that reports that
the Episcopal Church might be in
duced to appropriate large sums fol
Christianizing the Jew were too ri
diculous to discuss. - H.. ..--- g.
Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Tenn
pie Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than it had eyer been
and that the American Jew was one
of it's greatest factors.
In Europe they have had for hun
dreds of years, great way Of econ
verting" the Jews by surrounding the
ghettos and numbering men, women
and children. In Hungary, recently,
hundreds Of Jews have professed
Christianity to save the lives Of them.
selves and families, but all Of the Ger.
tifcates of baptism were overprinted
in red, "Not good in case Of pogroms
(massacres)." ..-
The Jews Of the United States will
not rush to Christianity because they
know that American Christians would
then segregate them and compel them
to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch
them just as they have their colored
brethren.

Southerners, opened fire with machine
guns from airplanes upon defenseless
Haitian villages, killing men, women
and children in the open market
places; how natives were slain for
sport by hoodlnm element among
these same 'Southefners, and how the
ancient corvee system of enforced Ia
Dor was revived and ruthlessly exc
cuted, increasing, through retaliation,
the banditry in Haiti and Santo Do
mingo, was told by Harry A. Franck,
the noted traveller land authority on
the West Indies. Mr.. Franck was in
Haiti in January of this year on tour
OF the Caribbeans5s for the Century
Magazine.
The natives were armed largely
with obsolete and ]. useless firearms,
some even with scythes, according to
Mr.. Franck, and it is to this fact
rather than to the bOasted marksman-
ship of the marines that he attributes
the deaths of 5000 blacks and Of only
twelve whites. 81. :
Wilson Is Blamed. d.
Mr.. Franck blames Secretary Dan
iels and President Wilson for failing
to control the situation in the black
republic or to take steps to change
the prevailing low value placed on the
lives OF the natives by the forces Of
occupation :
Il do not know these things of my
| own knowledge" said Mr.. Franck.
But heard of them from many re-
liable sources, including sources
friendly to the Americans, and am
certain in my own mind that they are
true. g.
while some killing was necessary,
good deal of it was uncalled for.
One of the factors which 1 found re-
sponsible for conditions was that the
| marines stationed there were COM
posed very largely of young Southern
ers, who looked down on the Haitian
population, which is nearly 100 per
cent black, and held native lives very
cheaply. There was also great pre-
dominance Of officers from the South.
Il found many earnest young South
ern officers, who were undoubtedly
doing their duty to the best of their
ability, but they took harsh view of
their duty and placed too small value
on the lives Of black people. Further
than that, there was a hoodlum ele-
ment Of young Southerners among the
enlisted men who killed, the blacks for
sport. These were mainly men who
did not get into the great war and
were anxious to have military feats to
their credit"

Many Colored Men In tho American
War for Independence. -

The employment of co1ored men be.
came a. subject of much importance at
an early stage of the American War
OF Independence. The British natur.
ally regarded slavery as an element
OF weakness in the condition of the
colonies, in which the slaves were
numerous, and laid their plans to gain
the colOred men and induce them to
take up arms against their masters
by promising them liberty on this con
dition. - :
The situation was looked upon by
the public men Of the colonies as
alarming, and several of them urged
the Congress to adopt the policy OF
emancipation. But while the general
question of emancipation was de-
feated, the exigencies of the contest
again and again brought up the prac
tical one of employment for colored
men. whether bond or free.
Only Freemen Wanted In Army.
In May, 1775, Hancock and War
ren's committee of safety introduced
the following formal resolution: IRE

committee, as the contest now be
tween Great Britain and the colonies
respects the liberties and privileges
of the latter, which the colonies are
determined to maintain. that the adj

1.-THE PROMISING NEGRO"

Under the above heading the Min
neapolis Journal recently had the
following editorial, which shows that
the colored people of this country
not only are worthy but that their
white brothers are sitting up and
taking notice:
Recent years have witnessed some
remarkable transformations among
nations. But no racial group has
shown more remarkable promise or
revealed more power of adjustment
to modern conditions than the ten
million Negroes of this Country.
In fifty years illiteracy among them
has decreased from 80 to 80 per cent
One-fourth of the ten million own
their own farms. Forty Thousand
have won places in business or the
professions.
One hundred banks are owned by
colored men. One million eight hun
dred thousand colored children are in
public schools, and five hundred high
err institutions of learning minister
to the needs of colored youth. Dur
ing the war American Negroes in
vested two hundred and twenty-five
million dollars i'm Liberty Bonds.
More significant than all, perhaps,
is the fact that these Americans
have shown the power to produce
their leaders from their own ranks.
They count orators, painters, authors,
sculptors, lawyers, scientists and
bankers among their number.
Booker T. Washington believed
that the Negroes best interest lay in
perfecting himself along industrial
lines and in becoming first of all a
direct producer. Other leaders like
w. E. B. Dubois favor wider sphere
of activity and feel that he should
enter into the councils of State and
Nation. Whatever line may be fol-
lowed by this folk, the fact remains
that already they have proved them
selves to have great capacity for
progress"
