Sen. Laney's Platform
Greenwood Index-Journal.

Greenwood 1ndeX-Journai.
State Senator George X. Laney has
announced his platform and as the
first candidate for governor to do so,
he is entitled to notice.
His platform is the one he has
been standing on in the general assem-
bly, for the past nineteen years, to
wit: economy. 1t may be that he has
been running instead of standing on
it for nineteen years but it is certain
that he has not shifted with wind and
water. He has been consistent. First
as college youth in the legislature
he was in college and in the legi6la-
ture at the same time-and later as
one of the elder statesmen of the
senate he has preached in season and
out of season, at all times, economy.
Before this campaign is over we
should like to see some one make a
study of Sen. Laney, sort of psy-
choanalysis as it were. That is pro-
vided he develops any strength on the
stumpp.
There is this about him to compel
attention and credit. He seems to be
a type of man who determined early
in life TO pet an education and though
it was no easy task he never wavered
until he had accomplished his ambi-
ton. Now 2 man like that may be
narrow, may be afflicted with ast;g-
matism when looking at so big and
broad an object as the state at large,
may be stunted in development so
far as the needs Of all classes are
concerned, but one cannot blot out
the fact that he is man who has

Causes Deep Depression in Plateau.


When the railway was opened from
a point near Luxor into the Libyan
desert there was rendered easy the
approach of the oasis Of Khargeh,

ample of these isolated centers Of

ist and explorer made study of this
oasis. observing the phenomena Of
springs, moving sands, weNs, etc.
The Libyan oases are deep de-
pressions in a lofty plateau which has
q maximum elevation of nearly 1900
feet, hut the bottoms of the GASES
are only from 100 to 500 feet above
sea level. They are underlain by beds
of sandstone, which are the sources
Of the water supply. Artesian wells
900 feet deep form practically mex
haustible means of irrigation and such
deep wells Rave been used from
ancient times. The depressions were
on2e the beds of lakes, and the water
in the sandstone probably has -
sources in the Abyssinian highlands.

William Eaton Chandler, who re-
Gently passed away at his home IN
New Hampshire, was an extraordl-
nary man and had long and extra
ordinary career. For over hall a
century ne was active in affairs OF
state and nation. He saw ten ad-
r7inistrations come and go at Wash
;noton-Lincoln's, Grants, Hayes ,
Garfeld's, Arthur's, Cleveland's, Har-
rison's. McKinley's, Roosevelt's and
Taft's-and was identified directly or
indirectly, with all of them, save
Cleveland's. And as an octogenarlan
he saw Woodrow Wilson come upon
the scene and attain worldwide pres

An extreme partisan in the 10

An extreme partisan in the '70's
and early '80's, when in the political
philosophy Of both parties the end
justified the means, when North and
South still hated each other and the
bloody shirt was not yet inferred,
when the .spoils system prevailed and
civil service reform was a byword and
hiss, when purchasable voters were
corralled in blocks of five and crisp
new two-dollar bills came fresh from

Chandler was shining product Of
the sorry times.
But he was not so set in his ways
as to be beyond political redemption.
He had ideals. He was high-minded.
Inherently clean, full of courage and
personally incorruptible, his vision
did not remain awry. In time he saw
the light-began to see and under
stand. Wearing the senatorial toga
he became senatorial iconoclast. He
punctured sham and mocked political
pretense. The system he had once
championed or condoned, he came 10
despise and finally to attack. Nothing
pleased him more than to "stir ID the
animals" in the senate. Still 4 rcgu-
lar, he lost respect for outworn party
tradition and did not hesitate to prod
the G. O. P. when it needed il. He
was oftentimes unsDaEing. In the
Granite state he waged Wa upon So
called vested rights. There was
Rooseveltian virility in everything he
did and Roosevelt liked him. Had

tAssocinted Negro Press,

Washington, ID. c.. March l6.-
Honorable Arthur c. Froe, Recorder
of Deeds, Is entitled TO membership
in the favored six foot" class, and
is comfortably above 200 pounds in
weight.
Mr.. Froe was a law student of
Howard University, more than twen-
ty years ago, and has some interest
ing experiences of his college days,
but he shall remember Wednesday,
March 1, 1922. as one of the big
and busy days of his life. II was
on this date that he assumed charge
of the recorders office.
The Office of Recorder of Deeds
stands out in racial history in Amer
lea, as an outpost of leadership. AS
presidential appointment, the Off
cial is not only regarded as an ad-
ministration spokesman, but what
he says politically is supposed to
largely reflect the sentiments of the
group with which he is identified.
With eight years of Democratic
administration, with a minimum of
Negro Office holders, with open and
secret propaganda to prevent Color
ed Americans from holding outstand-
ing positions, it is quite natural that
the people are interested in the be-
ginning of the Froe administration.
and, also, in knowing some of the
policies of the incumbent.
Admitted to Court Practice
Mr.. Froe went first to the offices
of Congressman Wells Goodykoontz,
of the Fifth West Virginia district,
where he lives. There he was greet
ed by former Congressman Cooper

by Congressman Goodykoontz to the

The quiet speaker was DR.. Leon

on native peoples of Africa. "The

DR.. Van Den Berg was the first
white man to penetrate to the viii
lagos of the Mambuti, or pygmies,

white men had seen them in the for
ests. This race, too, he said, is dy-

per cent of their numbers in the

They have no physical endur-

people, who average four feet in
height. "They live entirely in the
forests, eating only what the forest
provides, cultivating no lands, NOV
ing from one village to another az
they deplete the natural foods of
