Sometimes the road was a twisted riddle
Where one might stray for a crooked mile'
But O. she danced to the pipes and fiddle
Most of the WHILE most of the While.
sometimes the wind and the rain together
Blurred the hill that she needs must cllmp,
But o, she tripped it In primrose weather
Most of the time. most of the time.
Who may say that the journey tried her?
Never a Romany went as gay,
Seeing that true love wa ked beside her
All of the way, all of the way.

body upon the basis of the voters per-
mitted- to participate in elections in
the several states, rather than upon
mere population, in Presidential and
Congressional elections. -...--
Congressman George H. Tinkham,
of Massachusetts, has introduced a
resolution based upon the provisions
of the 18th and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution and showing that the
representation from several states is
not in keeping with those provisions.
Notably in the Southern states, glar-
ing ignoring of these constitutional
amendments has been practiced for
many years, giving eleven of these
states 1926 votes in the electoral COL
lege and 104 representatives in Con-
gress on total vote of all presidential
candidates of 100000. The state Of
New York, alone, cast total vote of
1,706,354 but has only 43 representa-
tives in Congress and 20 votes in the
electoral college.
On account of this fragrant ignoring
Of the 18th and 18th Amendments we
have had the infection of Wilson and
wisconsin for the past seven years
and ten months, and we most sin
cerely hope that the present Congress
will make such condition impossible
for the future.

"'NONE so BLIND AS THOSE WHO

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 fare 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 preiu-
dice-another evidence of ignorance.
Mr.. Clark is, however. wise enough
to see that if the object sought by the
N. A. A. G. 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.

Mr.. Franck, and it is to this fact

Mr.. Franck blames Secretary Dan

the prevailing low value placed on the
lives of the natives by the forces of
occupation.

WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS.

Some members of the Episcopal
board of missions favor the raising of
a fund of $1;000,00O for the purpose
of converting the Jews, "because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be:
coming atheistic.
This move brought quick retort
from many of the rabbis, three OF
whom we quote:
attempts to convert the Jew
have never been successful" said
Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple
and the thronged synagogues refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith"
Rabbi 4Stolz 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.
Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Tenn
pie Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than it had ever 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 ICON
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
tificates 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.

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 iliteracy 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 in 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
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"

Many Colored Men in tho American

The employment of colored men be.
came 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.
teal one of employment for colored
men. whether bond or free.
