REPUBLICAN PARTY
AGAIN HASFAILED
BLACK Man, AYERS

(By The Associated Negro Press)

by might, nor by power, but by my
spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts" Such
might be the text of sermon for
every bishop and minister of every
Race variety in the United States.
with the Republican party as the
theme.
The Republican party is intoxicated
with power, and by that unusual con-
dition, there are many surprising
things happening and Colored Ameri-
cans are coming in for their just
or unjust-share of disappointment
There seems to be a great poverty of
the human element, of the spirit"
in the things that are happening.
President Harding has developed
into a great preacher of human JUS
tice, and the things he says have a
far different effect on the general
public, than the things said by his
predecessor, Woodrow Wilson, for
the President has the true element
of sincerity in his statements. "But
what difference does it make" said
one citizen to another, "if the Presi-
dent fails to back up his preachments
with action?"
''The Republican party has failed
the Colored people again" This is a
common expression falling on the
ears of hundreds of people as they
walk about among their friends.
What is meant by ''faiied us?" Sim
ply this: there has been wide range
between the things that have happen
ed in the last six months, and the
things that Republican spellbinders
told the people in the campaign last
fall. Colored speakers painted the
glories of the party history, and point
ed to the fact that with the election
of Harding, the dawn of new era
is upon u.s."
1t is a matter of much chagrin to
the aforesaid spellbinders, and ora
tors de luxe, that the developments
have fallen far behind the beautiful
word pictures.

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Denver, Colo, Aug. 18.-More than
1000 representatives were present at
the Fifth Quadrennial session of the
American Woodmen, in this city. The
business session was formally opened
in Shorter A. NJ E. church, Supreme
Commander C. NJ White, presiding.
After the appointment of the usual
committees, welcome addresses were
heard, the enthusiasm of the gather
ing surprising that of any other
meeting ever held.
At the monster welcome demonstra-
ton at the Denver auditorium, the
principal speaker was Dean William
Pickens, who pointed the way 10
racial and national progress in a
masterful address. Mr.. Pickens as
field secretary Of the N. A. A. C. and
contributing editor of The Associated
Negro Press, is one Of the foremost
spokesman of the Negro race, whose
manner of dealing with the subject,
pointed and logical, is eminently ef-
fective.
Other speakers at the session were
Governor Oliver H. Shoup, Mayor
Dewey G. Bailey and Rev. w. H.
Thomas The American Woodmen is
the greatest fraternal insurance socie-
ty of the race, with assets of nearly

New York City, N. Y, Aug. 1S-
Marcus Garvey is pursuing he wrong
track in appealing to race prejudice
and in advocating physical force in
his efforts to secure justice to the
Negro" declares J. Frank Wheaton
when asked to comment upon the
aims of the Second International Con-
vention of Negroes now in session in
New York City. Mr.. Wheaton, who
until last June was assistant district
attorney of New York County, was
the only colored man to sit in the
Minnesota legislature. He was elec-
ted in senatorial district in which
there were not more than fifteen col
ored voters.
"Our folks should be the last to
exploit radicalism," said Mr.. Wheat
on 81 have always advocated the
old adage, vinegar never catches flies
and any effort toward reconciling the
two races should be made thru bring
ing them into contact more frequently
and by cultivating friendship and un-
derstanding.
1--WE need educational propaganda
to do this. Such books as Herbert
J. Seligman's The Negro Faces Amer
lea are splendid educators, and what
we need is more literature of that
type. The public must be educated
on all race problems if serious con-
flict is to be avoided.
There are thousands of white cit
liens who have not the slightest sus-
picion of the conditions that obtain
in certain sections of our country, and
it requires such propaganda as rep
resented by The Negro Faces Amer
ica' to arouse them to a spirited op-
position to these un-American con-
ditions.
"Mr Seligman states that the Ne
gro is still slave. He is right, for
as race, the Negro is not free. Wit
ness the recent exposures of peonage
which is another name for human
slavery. But the way to gain free
dom is not thru violence, which would
just aggravate conditions. The col
ored man should avail himself of the
contents of Mr.. Seligman's book, in
order to appreciate the opportunities
therein portrayed for giving him bet
ter understanding of his duty in the
solution of this problem. 1t will be
by mutual discussion of the rights as
well as the wrongs heaped upon one
group by the other, that conflict will
be avoided.
Questioned as to his attitude to-
ward Mr.. Garvey's policy of Negro
domination in Africa, Mr.. Wheaton
replied:
Africa has no charms for the Am
erican Negro. Liberia has just cele-
brated her seventy-fifth anniversary
and in all that time, she has not
known more than 10000 former Amer
ican citizens.

we know, and the history of our 10y

house of representative recently
voted an amendment to the tax act,
placing $500 year levy on every

The measure will have to pass the

are $4,000 bachelors over 80 in the

The Strike Settlement.

The settlement OF the railroad
strike as an event. and very bis
event, is one thing; the details OF
the terms and conditions Of that set.
tlement are quite another thing.
The hour was so late this morning
when the actual settlement was
reached, the circumstances Of the
agreement were so various and varied
as given out, that thoughtful and
sound conclusions as to the full
meaning of the settlement in its
larger and more important bearings
upon the future OF the public and the
country will wisely wait upon COM
plete information and careful study
of all that it embraces.
This is momentous matter which
demands from serious minds, as THE
New YORK HERALD views it. the closest
scrutiny and the clearest analysis
in the interest of the railroads, the
public and the nation. And this

take to give it later in the light OF

If the new German Cabinet which

possible exception of DR.. WRTn, its

Ing this gigantic total Of dollars into
an equivalent OF normal value. By
this we see we are not poor as a
