SAYS NEGROES
SHOULD BECOME.
A HARD RACE
(Associated Negro Press.)

HAMPTON, Va, Feb. 22.-That
Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong; s
ideal for Negroes was the kind Of
education which would enable Col
ored men and women to live success
fully in the same world of mind and
spirit that the white man inherits
was the opinion expressed by Mrs.
Edith Armstrong Talbot, daughter
of Gen. Armstrong in a recent adj
dress on Armstrong and His ldeals'
delivered here.
Among other things. Mrs. Talbot
declared that the white mans world
is ruled by mind, not by feelings
and emotions, and that the people
who allowed themselves to be gov
erned by their feelings can never
succeed in it.
Negroes should become hard
race--not hard like rock, but hard
like the sugar-maple tree, which is
wounded every year and loses its
life blood, but heals its wound
overnight and is too busy growing
to dwell on them.
Certain kinds Of education help
- man to gain. the rule Of mind over
feeling. Industrial and technical
education, artistic and business
training, which require both prac-
tical application and abstract know
ledge, help most. Classical educa-
ton cnlarges the scope of action Of
the man who has learned how TO
rule himself with his own mind,
but does not help him gain such
rale."

as a fool, by any means, has mus

"where angles fear to tread" and
has announced himself for United
State Marshal, in the second district
thus adding to the sea of troubles
through which Senator Calder, up

Colored Political Leaders
Have Been Turned Down
And Inactives Given The Few
Places Dished Out.
Party Reyerses Itself
Administration Listening To The
"Still Small Voice" OF White
Leaders Rather Than Negro
Party Men.
(Associas.d Negro Prsss.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 22.--
President Harding has had another
rude awakening" The President
has expressed himself as amazed
at the avalanche of unfavorable
comment that has fallen down the
valley OF the shadow of political
death concerning the appointment
OF A. G. Free for the position OF
Recorder Of Deeds.
One of the leaders in political ac-
tivitics made this statement to the
Associated Negro Press: I'VE have
nothing against Mr.. Froe personally.
He may be man of the highest in
tegrity; but no one knows him. The
Recorder Of Deeds and the Register
OF the Treasury are two outstanding
positions that we have used hereto
fore, in calling men of national repu-
tation. The President has denied us
the Register, which | think, polite
ally is most unfortunate. As to re-
corder | am. certain the President
would not pick an unknown. citizen
no matter how worthy, to be Secre-
tary OF State, Ambassador to Eng
land or France"
The upshot of the whole situation,
according to political observation,
strife in the capital, it looks as tho
the administration, although being
a strong advocate of party organi-
zation and leadership has decided to
listen to the "stiil small voice" of
white leaders rather than Colored
leaders even in so far as Negro ap-
pointments are concerned.
Look at this: Froe got his ap-
.pointmcnt thru Senator Elkins OF
West Virginia. The Associated Ne
gro Press was the first to learn OF
this officially in the group. Phil H.
Brown, Commissioner of Concilia-
ton, owes his political good fortune
to the late Tobe Hert, of Kentucky
who was National Committeeman
Lieut.. tlippcr, in the Interior De-
partnent, was appointed, without
consultation, by Secretary of the In
terror Fall; Solomon P. Hood, owes
his success as Minister to Liberia to
Senator Nutter,e the acknowledged
political leader Of New Jersey, was
not enthusiastic about the Hood APP
pointmcnt.
DIR. ". S Scarborough, while
friendly to the present leadership
may be assigned to the credit of Sem
ator Willis Of Ohio, and President
Harding personally, Charles Cot
trili, high exponent of President
Harding's virtues at the Chicago
convention, and former Collector al
Internal Revenue in the port at
Honolulu, was sacrificed on the alter

corded the Greek Text book author

BRITON AWAITING
CHANCE TO HEAVE
BRICK 1T THE KING

LONDON. September 15.-The mo-
ment ex-Police Inspector Syme gets
out of jail he starts for Buckingham
Palace with brick and hangs around
waiting for chance to throw it at
the king or some member of the royal
family.
Syme was dismissed from the police
force some thirteen years ago, and
at once developed into crank with
a grievance. He has been agitatinS
against the authorities ever since and
has been imprisoned repeatedly for
trying to create disturbance. When
he Is locked up he starts hunger
striking. When the prison doctors
think he has gone hungry as long
as he can do SO safely, he is released.
Recently he made a speech in Ira
falgar Square and threatened to do
for the king IL the authorities did
not right his wrongs. On failing to
furnish securities for his good be-
havior he was again sent to prison
for three months, and at once de-
clined to eat.
King George is interested in Syme
and axious that he should not starve
himself to death. So his majesty
asked that he be released before he
got too weak. So he is again at lib
erty, but the authorities are watch
ing him closely.
