Merely a Good story.

Wars produce many stories Of ne
ton, some of which the oftener they
are told the more they are believed to
he true. The Civil war was no ex-
ception to this rule, and the story Of
the apple tree Is one of these fictions
based on slight f(phdation Of fact.
There was, Indeed! I'm apple orchard
on one side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
ly up the hill was wagon road, which.
at one point, ran very near one of the
trees, so that the wheels Of the We

staff, reported to me that when ne FIRST
met General Lee he was sitting on this
embankment. with his feet In the road

good stories, 1t would besvery good II

communities. Any one who gets an
idea that only the best types Of
houses are erected in the larger
cities is mistaken. Some Of the best
planned and most attractive homes In
the country will be found In the small
er towns and on the farms.
II is equally true that In the smaller
communities more homes are being
erected than In the cities. In the lat.
ter there appears to be contagion
Of buildings with one or two room
units--something that those used to
more room would hardly put up with
Still. necessity Is the mother Of lot
of things in the city that the people
of town would not have.
Home builders everywhere, however,
are getting as much as possible for
their money. There Is no waste
space In any Of the homes that arc
being built under present conditions,
and every method Of cutting costs Is
used. Economical construction does
not mean cheap construction, but II
does mean that every possible saving
is made, both In planning and erecting
the house. This Is done by making
the plans so that the homes will ac-
commodate the space-saving and salts

adays Is available.

Selecting the design for the home
you expect to build should be done
with deliberation. The final decision
should be made only after study of
as many plans as possible, giving due
consideration to the amount Of money
you have to invest and, which is equal
ly important, the number Of persons
the home will be required to accom-
modate.
Much of the disappointment expert
enced by many home builders has
been caused by hurried selection Of
the plans. After the building opera
tons have started ii is both difficult
and costly to change the plans. Archi-
tects and builders have so many good
hoNse designs that this mistake will
not be made, If the home-building
project Is considered with the care
that the expenditure demands.

home-builder, the accompanying de

In exterior appearance this brick

SECRETARY JOHNSON OF N. A. A
C.P. CONFERs WITH PRESIDENT.

Secretary James w. Johnson, Sec
rotary of the National. Association
for the Advancement of the Colored
People, in a recent conference with
President Harding, emphasized s the
important fact that the national as.
ISOLATION was not interested in the
parceling out of petty jobs, but that
it's interest was in the enactment of
measures to relieve oppressive con-
ditions affecting colored people.
The specific points discussed were:
l. Passage of federal anti-lynch-
ing law by Congress.
g A wide and thorough investiga-
ton of peonage conditions in the
Southern states, to be made by the
Department of Justice, followed by
the punishment of the perpetrators
of the peonage system.
3. An investigation of disfran-
chisement in the South and the right
of the Negro to vote under the iden-
tical qualifications required of other
citizens.
a. The appointment of Nation
al 1nter-racial Commission to make a
thorough study Of race relations.
5. Congressional investigation of
both military and civil acts of the
American occupation in Haiti.
6. The appointment of colored as
sistant SECRETARIES in the Departments
OF Labor and Agriculture.
7. The adjustment by executive
order of all race segregation in the
Departments at Washington and the
United States Civil Service.
Some Of the things asked for are
good, but others are bad, as we shall
endeavor to show editorially in our
next issue. We also believe that
point No. should come first, as It
is matter which can be handled by
the President without any discussion
or suggestions from either his cab
met or the Congress, and we have it
on the authority of William Monroe
Trotter and others that the President
when a candidate for the Office prom
ised that he would issue such an or
der. That is the fundamental propo-
sition upon which everything else
rests. Let segregation by the Fed
eral government cease.

right which citizenship in a republic
carries with it. . .'% 80.
Principal Notions dear friends of
the South have denied all of these
rights to the colored people, every
effort for advancement has been
fought, in one way or another, even
if conducted on jimcrow lines. The
purpose of the South always has been
and is now, to segregate the colored
people from other citizens and make
them a pariah class, despised by all
others, and subject to the whims and
caprices of master class. In North
Carolina, where Principal Motion made
his speech, colored people are treat
ed as group apart from the white
citizenship and subject to different
treatment. They have suffered from
all of the inequalities of citizenship.
They have made progress not be-
cause of segregation, but in spite Of
it. If the Southern white people
had not placed hindrances, including
murder, in their path, they would
have ere this reached the plane which
has been attained by the colored
people of Brazil. 49, -.
Some of Principal Motions activi-
ties in the past should not be for
gotten. Shortly after he succeeded
B. Washington as the head of Tuske-
gee, his wife was elected from
Pullman sleeper because she was
colered. According to the associated
press Motion made no attempt to de
fend her, but stated that he had adj
vlsed her not to attempt to ride in
a Pullman. Just after the armistice
in the world war Principal Motion
was sent to France as the special
representative Of President Wilson,
the arch enemy Of the colored race.
The Crisis and other periodicals and
many colored soldiers asserted that
instead of investigating and endeav-.
oring to correct the outrageous treat
ment to which the colored troops
were subjected, he rushed around,
made a few speeches telling the col
ored soldiers to be good" and then
took the first boat for the u. S. Gin
order to attend conference at
Tuskegee." =
For a colored man to laud the
brutal South, which has heaped I'M
speakable wrongs upon his people for
hundreds Of years, is disgusting ex-
hibition of servility., Imagine if you
can, am Irishman approving the aw-
| full murders bv the British sOldierv.
conceive if you can, Jew condoning
the pogronns in Russia, Poland and
the Balkan states; think of an East
Indian lauding the English who blew
many Of his countrymen from the
mouths of cannon. If you can visual
ize these things then you can get a
true picture of what it means for a
colored man to laud the South. s.
