vention now in session at Baton Rouge
had little tussle over a trace puri-
ty' ordinance a few days ago.
1t read: "The legislature shall en-
act necessary legislation to guard and
preserve race purity"
The women defeated the PROPOSE
ton by large vote. The principal
reason given by the female opposi-
ton was that it would be bad ad-
vertisement for the state and make
it appear to non-residents that it
was troublesome question and that
it was difficult to prevent white
women from marrying black men
There may have been other reasons
which the ladies did not care tc
divulge-perhaps some of them were
colored and knew it.
Louisiana is a state in which there
faint no SIGH animal" as race purity
! Those who are familiar with the
facts says that probably three-fourths
of the native born so-called white
people have more or less Negro BLOOD
in their veins. The mixing has beer
going on for more than 300 years
and it still continues in spite of laws
to prevent it.
On the day that the ordinance was
considered by the constitutional con.
vention a blood controversy case was
being tried in one of the courts in
New Orleans, and when the plaintiff
demanded a ''blood test" the sage
judge suggested that it would "be
better to submit the matter to the
ouija board.'

CARRAWAYS LITTLE JOKE.

One Carraway, a Democratic Unit
ed States Senator from Arkansas, one
of the states in the Southern murder
tier, unconsciously perpetrated lit
tie joke when he introduced bill to
prohibit enlistment of colored men
in the army or navy.
Of course Carraway did not mean
to be funny he put the bill in to
please the red necks of "Rackensack.'
He knows it can not pass. But the
joke is there just the same, because
colored Americans are already barred
from both army mad navy except on
jimcrow basis.
Although resident Of one of the
states, a colored man can not enter
the militia Of that state on the same
basis as other citizens. He must get
into a segregated unit and then into
the U. S. army through the jimcrow
division of the Federalized National
Guard. If he wishes to enter the
regular army he must go into seq
regated regiment.
If young colored man happens tc
read one of the lying advertisements
published by the navy, calling atten
ton to the enlistment Ito travel anc
see the world" or honorable ad
vancement," or "chance, for great
career" and with loyalty and pa
triotism in his breast he endeavor:
to enlist, he is informed by the moi
Invariably polite enlistment Officer
that his only chance is as mess at
tendant, which translated means
servant.
This is the way loyal colored citi
zens are treated by a lying natio1
which boasts of its democracy, hu
mainly and Christianity.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.

Representative L. C. Dyer, Repub-
lican of Missouri, has introduced a
bill in Congress providing that per-
sons accused Of lynching shall be
tried in Federal instead of State
courts, and that those found guilty
Of participating in lynchings shall
suffer the death penalty. Every one
ought to get behind this bill and
push its passage. It is infinitely bet
ter than the Mccormick bill which
| authorizes a commission to ''study''
lynching. No study is necessary; the
facts are patent. Minnesota has done
her part by enacting an anti-lynch-
ing law. Now give us national law.

The 700 aviators who fought in the
world war have organized fraternal

The petition to Col. Simmons was

THE JIMCROW ARMY.

Even under present conditions, the
United States Army, SO far as it re-
lates to the colored people, is jim
crow affair. Colored' men are COM
PEELED to enlist in the four "colored"
regiments - two infantry and two
cavalry-in the regular army.
What this segregation meant was
shown during the world war when
colored men were rushed through the
country in jimcrow cars, trained in
jimcrow camps, all the while being
subjected to indignities and insults.
This treatment reached it's acme when
they were in France, even on the
firing line. Their treatment forms
one of the blacklist pages in the his
tory of that famous conflict to make
the world safe for democracy"
1t is now said that the War De-
partment intends to further jimcrow-
izc its valiant colored soldiers and
humiliate and degrade it's citizenry
by taking the colored regiments of
New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and
put them into a separate division of
the Federalized National Guard.
If this is true, it will be the worst
blow ever aimed at the rights of col
ored citizens, because it takes colored
men out Of their proper places as
citizens of their respective states anc
forces them into an inferior status
which does not apply to other groups
Of Americans, such as Germans, Irish
Russians, Poles, Greeks, Lithuanians
Serbians, Scotch, Italians, Austrians
French, Spanish, etc. and not even tt
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians
Filipinos, South Sea ISLANDERS ant
other colored races. It would be al
insult to the loyalty and patriotism
Of the colored people.
The colored people of the Unitet
States ought to protest through tn
n. A. A. c.. P, the National Equa
Rights League, the National Rae
Congress and every other organiza
ton which stands for justice, an.
every individual ought to make a. pro
test to the President, the Secretar,
Of War and to his Senator and Con
gresham, to prevent, if possible, tn,
contamination of this wrong.

A religious paper published in
London "deplores the visit of Crown
Prince Hirohito of Japan, because of
its harmful effects on u. S. opinion
and because Of the Japanese hatred
of our religion" Can you beat that?
Certainly there is no reason why the
Japanese should love Christianity
The colored people of the U. S. have
accepted Christianity, but Caucasian
Christianity has done far more to de-
grade them than to uplift the race.

International Port
 At Tsing- Tau To Be EstablishedBy Japs

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Estab- lishment of an international port at Tsing Tau is contemplated by the Japanese government as soon as it can induce the government of China to undertake negotiations for the re- linquishmeut of Japanese control over the entire province of Shantung, il was explained today in Japanese quarters here.
 Internationalizaiton of the port is insisted upon by Japan, 1t was eX- plained because maintenance of distinctive Japanese settlement at Tsing- Tau might invite demands from the other maritime powers for simi lar concessions. It was said that it would be impossible to assign sepa- rate quarters in Tsing- Tau to the half dozen maritime powers. core spending to their holdings in such open ports as Shanghai, for instance for the reason that the port of Tsing-T Tau is entirely too small to admit of such compounds. The Japa- nese propose to settle the question Of control over this mixed settlement by inviting the Chinese government to establish Gendarmerie with suffi- cient strength to insure their ability to keep off the bands of bandits which swarm in Shantung province.

SPOTS LIN SUN CAUSE AURORA
 BOREAL|S. SAY
 ASTRONOMERS
Electrical Disturbance Will Pass Within AS Hours Effects Still Noted In East
IRepubIican A. p. Leased d'wirel

WASHINGTON, May f5.-Inter- ruption of telegraphic communica- tions by electrical influences, if due to the presence of spots on the sun, will pass away within 4S hours in the belief of naval observatory officials.
 The present spot or group of spots, estimated by naval observatory of ficials at 94,000 miles in length and 21,O00 in latitude, was nearest the earth last night and today, through rotation of the sun was moving away.
 These officials said that leaving out of considera ton the decreasing effect of the spots on electrical cur rents on the earth through the usual breaking up of the spots, the regular rotation of the sun would soon carry the spots so far from earth as to make their influence negligible.
 The theory that the aurora borealis or northern lights result from sun spots was advanced by D1. J. A. Bra shear, late Pittsburg astronomer. The theory has never been definitely accepted, navaly observatory officials asserted, but the fact that spots on the sun usually are accompanied by electrical disturbance has resulted in almost general acceptance of the theory.
 The spots now present on the sun and which were visible to the naked eye today with a smoked glass were first photographed at the naval ob- servatory last Monday The spots. according to Dr. G. H. Peters, were about one and a half to two days old. The following day the photo graphs showed the spots to be much agitated, the gaseous vapors of which they are composed resembling a cyclonic storm. Dr. Peters said Yes terday's photogra Rh, taken about noon. showed the spots to be near the solar meridian. Naval observatory officials said the presence of such a large group of spols at this time was most unusual.

 ID ARCHITECTURE
IRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, May 15-"The city with the ornamental front door" is the newest sobriquet pinned on Chicago. It dates largely from the erection, athwart the new Michigan boulevard link" bridge, of great. ornamental white office building of 35 stories, nicknamed because of its eccentric lines and qual-angled appearance the ''shimmy'' building.
 The "shimnly" building is the key stone in the arch of the city's orna- mental front door. Visible for many miles, both from the harbor and from the north, south and west, it marks the conveyance of the Chicago river, the water gateway to Chicago where Fort Dearborn once stood, and the famous boulevard that now connects the north and south sides of the city.
 Fifty thousand automobiles, il is conservatively estimated, pass the ''shimmy" building daily. It is not to be wondered, then, that the plans of the Chicago plan commission un- dertake to make the spot, favorored by traffic of land and water, the mu nicipal beauty spot of the world. Elm bellishment of the bridgeheads, with l treatment in historical style. is the i first step authorized in this develop ment Identification of the surround l ing property and of the river front itself will follow

HEIR APPARENT TO
 JAPANESE THRONE
 ENGLISH VISITOR
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 LONDON. May 15-Crown Prince Hirohito of Japan has enjoyed week in London crowded with experiences such as none of his ancestors ever knew. He has shaken hands with many people, posed before cameras, driven about crowded streets with out an escort, and inspected museums and art galleries with the public. Outside Windsor castle on Wednes- day, he and the Prince of Wales were surrounded by a crowd and could not move until the police pushed the people away. Both took the incident cheerfully.
 After three day state visit in Buckingham palace Prince Hirohito moved to Chesterfield house. The Japanese court sent word that the princes visit was principally for study, intimating his father would appreciate it if there should be no more formal functions than neces- Sary.
 The princes constant attendant is Niscount Chinda, Japanese minister of foreign affairs. He is responsible for the princes welfare. According to old time Japanese traditions it would be Niscount Chinda's duty to commit hari kari should any misfor- tune befall his charge.
 At the close of the lord mayors luncheon to the prince, the lord mayor announced there would be no speeches. Hirohito promptly rose and said he could notNeave without expressing his thanks, delivering his speech in Japanese.
 Some persons commented 1t was the first time a Japanese heir to the throne htsd been seen in a silk hat and frocL coat
