THH UNDERLYING QUESTION.

The underlying question now pre-
sonting itself to the Republican Party
is whether or not 1t will continue to 10
uhe great organization championiny
human rights or whether or not 1t will
proceed along the lines Of commercial
ism, subordinating oil other considera-
tions to that OF money making. 1t Is
plainly evident that the distinguished
occupant OF tire presidential Office has,
to Il great extent shifted his position
and yielded much to the voice of the
tcmpter.
lie has stopped to listen to tho voic-
es Of tho tempter and thereby lost
much ground in his upward march TO
the high ground occupied by great
men who have gone on before When
man Is elected to office, he must dis.
regard his personal inclinations and
observe his oath of office regardless of
Che consequences to himself and par
ty. Colored men with sense and ability
are conservative enough. They do not
expect dhe impossible, but they do in.
stst upon the exercise OF those funda
mental rights guaranteed by the Con.
sti ntion Of the United States.
Right doing and right living are
practically one and the same. Prcst-
dent Harding has reached the height
of his ambition. He 'is President. Let,
him not forget the devoted colored
reopte, who have supported him and
his Party during all of these years.

We can see no reason in the world
why Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson
should not be renominatcd for the no.
sition of Recorder of Deeds. In fact.
we believe THAT it is essentially neces-
sary that he should be confirmed. Ho
has been backed by the report Of the
subcommittee of the Committee
on the District of Columbia
and his nomination subsequent
ly approved by the Committee itself
His chief opponents have been his poll
dical enemies in his own State ana
these enemies are against him because
he has been lifelong Republican and
an advocate of Republican nominees.
We are frank to say that the right
thinking people everywhere regardless
OF color are watching the Republican
leaders and they hope that there will
DC no faltering as to THE issue.
rms Office is not located in Georgia
and therefore does not come Within
the purview of the Senators from
Georgia. We hope that there shall
need be no further suggestion to the
PRESIDENT relative to this matter, but
that the distinguished occupant Of the
White House will again mamie for the
position one of the most remarkable
leaders, our race has yet produced.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1921-12-17

We have always recognized mo
need OF extremists and radicals in the
advocacy Of all reforms or in the cham
ptoning Of great principles. They often
do much harm, but in the long run,
they do a greater amount OF GOOD,
People as n rule need an arousing
spirit and this class of people will
furnish 1t. You cannot get people to
go the whole limit. They are too con-
serVatiVe and as result, these extrem
ISIS necessarily go much further than
the average man will follow.
This is exemplificd by train, Which
stops at country railway station.
The engine which leads must 20 be-.
yond the station in order to have the
coaches stop at the proper place for
ohe passengers to get off. This Is why
we are not disposed to criticise some
OF our own leaders, who are indiscrect
at times provided we are convinced that
they are actuased by the proper mo-
t1Ves and mean right. There are others
though who make much noise in order
TO attract attention to themselves and
TO gain little cheap notoriety. We re-
FER primarily to those self.sacrificing
individuals, who are devoted to tine
cause whiolh they espouse and who
make sacrifices in support of the prin
oip!es, for which they contend and i'd
vocate.

Jackson on Sunday afternoon at Yes

est hindrnnce to the unity Of our race
was pride. The present public schoo'
system was largely responsible for this
condition in that the curriculum never
Included any study of the history or
literature of the Negro. Every ideal Of
heroisnp, all the beauty Of poetry and
prose were taught our children
through deeds and works Of the Anglo
Saxon. He suggested how teachers,
parents and students may assist In
changing this condition and may ere

studying our authors.
