groes but had sought to form a

Negro from the, polls. In the docu-
son was a letter written by Linney
as chairman of the Republican State
Committee. to the Democratic State
CHAIRMAN, in which he had made il
plaln he was not only opposed to Ne
groes voting, but wanted to enter into
a coalition with the Democrats to keep
them away from the polls for years
to come.

documents Senator Boarh declared he
would vote for "a yellow dog before

DESIRED RESULTS.
PETTY DISCRIMINATION is
FOUND IN MANY DEPART
MENTS. POSTMASTER GEN.
ERAL HAYS ACTS,

Washington, May 26,-"More Busi-
ness in Politics; More Politics in
Business" is the new slogan Of the
day, Letters are pouring into heads
men and editors of newspapers these
days commenting on steps being taxi
en- in behalf of justice for all Ameri-
can citizens; and an equal number OF
tion. against segregation and discrim-
ination.
The Associated Negro Press expo
sure of conditions has created a stir
in the extreme, has been taken not
to saddle present conditions on the
Harding administration. 1t has been
pointed out that the terrible state of
affairs is a legacy of the discounten-
anced Wilson regime However, Re-
publicans are cautioned to Beware
the Ides Of March," for the reason
that discovery has been made that
some appOintees are slipping in who
are scared to the soul with the segre-
gated notions of American citizenship.
In story a short time ago, it was
stated that certain conditions had
been discovered in one of the cabi-
net departments. The matter was
taken up by correspondence with the
members of the cabinets and it has
been amazingly discovered that the
member of the cabinet has never been
permitted to stc the communication.
His secretary, who is southerner,
has kept the information from him;
This secretary, when Informed of
certain conditions by The Associated
Negro Press. said that it was "a
matter for the departments to handle
within. and not the newspapers and
outside public He was told that there
still exists in that department GER
tain segregation conditions, and this
secretary stated that he could not
see why there should be any obJec-
ton! While the matter further
thrashed out the name of the partic-
ular department is not given.
Postmaster General Acts.
A fragrant case is that OF Miss Eel
ma A. Robinson, a young woman who
was certified for position in the
postoffice department. At the time
She was in Philadelphia, and was
telegraphed. She came Immediately to
Washington and reported for duty.
When she reported, she was told, in
the same old way that the place had
been filled Returning to the Com
mission, she was told that there were
at least twenty-five places that had
not been filled. The matter was TAX
en- up with the legislative Relief, and
women They in turn took the sub
iect up direct with Postmaster Cen
eral Hays He stated that he had
heard of certain discrimination in the
department, but had not had an oppor-
tunity to go at the bottom. But, he
assured the Committee. there must be
no discrimination in Post Office Civil
Service. He personally investigated
Miss Roblnson's case. and she was re-
assigned to the place that had been
filled, and is now working.

SAYS THE PRESENCE OF BLACK
TROOPS is NOT A MENACE.

New York May 19.-"It is impos-
sible to study ... the Negro occupa-
tion, and believe that the presence
of black troops constitutes a constant
terror and a horror to the Germans
The crime is rather against the black
troops themselves than against the
Germans. They are virtually slaves
forcedy to military service in a
cause in which they have no interest
and which they do not understand"
Thus wrote Lewis Gannett from
Maine. Germany, after careful first
hand study His article appears in
The Nation for May %. About the
horror on the Rhine" German officials
told Mr. Janett that this propagan-
da was commercial enterprise con-
Quoted for profit" The article CEN
sures the conditions of the occupa-
ton. and describes in detail not only
the conduct of the black troops on
the Rhine but that of the white
troops as well.

MANY NEGROES HAVE
BEEN PROMINENT IN HIS
TORY OF BRAZIL.
CBy A. N. P.)

Rio Janeiro, Brazil, May 19,-Bra-
lillian students of the history of the
country are bringing TO light the
very important part that the Negro
has played in the life and struggles
Of the Republic to tH a high place
among the great nations of the earth.
Their studies have brought forth
the facts that several of the Presi-
prominence distinguish men of let
ters; musicians of note; artists; emf :
nent publicists; jurists and merchant
princes have been and are active in
the affairs of the country today who
possess more than a mere fraction of
Negro blood.
II is Interesting to note that Matto
Crosse. the State where the govern
ment is putting forth special efforts
TO encourage Negroes from the United
States to settle has produced more
than it share Of persons of promi-
nonCe in the history of the country
who are TO be classed as Negroes.
This historical fact is pointed out
as good and sufficient reason why
Negroes from the States should settle
in this part of Brazil The cl mate,
the government claims, is especially
suited to the American Negroes nature.
1t is semtropic and compares most
favorably with the climatic conditions
i'm the southern part of the United
States This coupled with the free
hand for development makes the state
of Matto Crosse, the government
AYERS. an ideal place for Negroes to
settle In.

"And that Is why want TO tell
everyone something. When Santa
Claus takes his rest some might say
he was taking his holidays or his vaca-
tIun.
but do you know what Santa Claus
calls Il?
"He says II Is his rest but he doesn't
say that he Is taking his holidays or
his vacation.
mo. he doesn't say that And why?
Because Santa Claus considers 1t his
holiday when Christmas time Is around
Just as everyone considers the Christ
mas holidays the real holidays,
"Others may he going TO parties and
others may be going 10 great celebra-
lions and concerts and sleighlng and
coastlng parties, and though Santa
isn't on any Of these parties he IS on
his holidays.
Gle loves the Christmas holidays,
for he Is the one who helps TO make
Christmas what It Is"
Santa Claus took pull at his long
white beard as he stopped and thought
for a moment and then he continued:
"Ah, the Christmas holidays are my
holidays, too Yes, for | am happiest
then. When | am SO busy | hardly
know whit to do and when | am just
working as hard rs | can possibly
work | am the happiest man in the
world for | know what JOY | am 90
ing to bring into so many thousands
of homes.
"Just think of the chances old Santa
Claus has to be happy. Just think Of
that!
ale can't help really but be happy
for he has every chance to make him
happy.
You wonder what all his chances
are, perhaps. But as soon as | ex-
plain and tell you, you will under
stand.
santa Claus is given the great big
honor Of making children happy on
Christmas day and the JOY of Christ
mas day lasts longer than one day.
"He Is given the chance to make the
toys and to give the presents to the
children.
"IIe Is the one who can find their
stockings and see them as they are
sleeping.
HE can make them joyous and glad
and gay with his presents.
"And during the Christmas holidays
and before the Christmas holidays he
gets letters from the children and they
tell him of their secrets, of what they
want for presents and of how they've
been all through the year.
"And" Santa Claus continued to
himself, "they tell him how they love
him. All, Santa Claus Is a lucky old
fellow. Yes, / am to be congratulated,
for am Santa Claus, the King of the
Children.
For years and years | have had
this honor and | will always have this
