Haitian Editor jailed
for PrOte ting
Against Force d
O2n '..s. f~''

J.. Jolibois, of POurt-au-Prince, Hal
IT, editor of lie Courier Haitien, lead
ing newspaper of Haiti, was twice ar
rested and confined to Jail during the
month of June, for protesting against
certain financial powers in the United
States forcing a loan of $40,000,000 on
the Haitian government, according to
n letter received and made public to-
day by James Weldon Johnson, secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People. NJ.
Jolibois has been one of the most out
spoken of Haitian leaders in denounc-
ing the acts of the American Occupa
tion.
In commenting on the arrest of Nj.
Jolibois and the causes of his having
been imprisoned, Mr.. Johnson said:
"It is obvious that the efforts now
being made to force this loan of $40,-
100000 on the Haitian government,
which the Haitians declare they do not
need and do not want, is for the pur-
pose of future justification of contin-
uance of the occupation of Haiti by the
United States government. When un
pleasantly direct demands are made
on the American government in the fu
ture to end the occupation of this re-
public, the obvious retort will be that
such a step would be impracticable un-
til money loaned by American banking
houses is repaid.
1.-The arrest and Imprisonment of NJ
JoIibois for daring to speak out on
matter regarding which there should
be the utmost freedom of speech and
press is simply another incident in
what is already a record of imperial
despotism. In spite of the recent re-
port by the Senate committee, headed
by Senator Mccormick of Illinois,
which almost completely absolves the
occupation of all blame, the case of NJ.
Jolibois is Indicative of just what our
neighbors to the south are undergoing
in the process of benevolent tutelage'
by the American government. -

Negro Newspapers
In United States
Statistical Inquiry of Occupa-
tions, Personal, Etc.

Approximately one thousand one
hundred and ninety-eight Negroes, in
virtually every trade and occupation,
and sixty-one white workers, form the
working personnel of 113 newspapers
and fourteen magazines owned and di-
rected by Negro proprietors in thirty
states and the District of Columbia.
The grand total of 2,259, which also in
cludes approximately 1S5 Negro female
workers, is made up of the following
trade increments : Proprietors or man.
ayers, 204; editorial and clerical work
ers, 1893; foremen, 50; compositors,
1O3; linotype operators, 70; machin-
lists, 81; admen, 80; makeup men. 3S :;
floormen, 16 proof-readers, Al; stereo-
typers, q electrotypers, 2; pressmen,
"a; bookbinders, SO; mailers, 104, and
all other tradesmen, 3S.
The 61 white workers, aside from 4
of their number who exclusively COM
prise the electrotyping and stereotyp-
ing occupations of the 127 publications
studied, are sparsely distributed from
linotype operators to mailers, and 9TH
er slSilled-to- unskilled occupations.
The 127 papers and periodicals are
further classified as 90 secular, % re-
ligious and fraternal publications, of
whose number 9S, % and 3 are pub
lished weekly, monthly and daily, re-
spectively. Two are bi-monthly issues
and of the remaining two, one is BIZ
weekly and one is quarterly publica-
ton.
Sixty-three of the above publications
maintain and operate their own press
es, and an additional seven conduct a
general printing and publishing busi-
ness for contract work of a book or
Job nature. The composing work of
seventy of the publications is done at
the plants by skilled Negro compost
tors and their associates.
These statistics are taken from n
summary of the newspaper and pub
fishing industry prepared by Phil H.
Brown of the U. S. Department of La
Dor. who conducted an inquiry among
the $50 publications listed with the de-
partment as of 1918. OF this number,
42 have suspended publication since
that year and ISL of the smaller pa
pers failed to respond.

Catholic School
COnfers Degree
On COlOred Man

Washington, July 23.-Prof. George
Morton Lightfoot, well-known scholar,
educator and editor, of the Howard
University Faculty, has satisfied the
sity of America for the Masters De-
gree in Classical Philology. In partial
fulfillment of the requirements for the
degree he presented 4S-page thesis
on "Ihe Question of the Origin of Ro-
man Satire" in which discussion he
makes survey of the lengthy and in
geniOus debate which has continued al
most without cessation for over half a
century. After thoro investigation
of the various claims of priority in
producing satire, Professor Lightfoot
establishes his conclusion that 'the Ro-
mans were the first to produce and to
develop the satire as n separate and
distinct type of literary expression"
Professor Lightfoot is a product of
the Preparatory Department of How
ard University. His college career was
spent at Williams College. His sue
cessful scholarship at Williams won
him n leadership in the Preparatory
Department at Howard University and
later he was given teaching place in
the college, where he has been en-
ployed ever since as Professor of Latin
Language and Literature.

Florida Party Would
Bar Negro From
Politics
Will Test Power by Espousing
Cause of Candidates for Unit
ed States Senate-Promoters
Claim Negro Exercising too
Much Power.

Orlando, Fla, July 22-The Inde-
pendent Republican party of the state
of Florida is the name of the newly
formed political organization which
announces as its avowed purpose the
elimination of the Negro from Repub-
lican politics in the South.
In order to test the strength of the
principles of the new party, the pro-
moters announced that in the election
next November, w. c. Lawson of this
city would be it's candidate for the
United States Senate against regular
Republican candidate, should one be
nominated.
"The Negro is demanding too much
and is exercising entirely too much
power" said the chairman of the new
party at the meeting. held in the court
house last night, "and in doing so he is
encroaching on the rights of the white
South 1t will be satisfactory to mi
nority of southern Republicans to have
the Negro voter entirely eliminated
from politics.
The comment of many prominent
Negro leaders of the state, when told
of the announcement of the new party
having been launched, was that moth
ing at all is to be feared due to the
acts of few disappointed office seek
ers who have been defeated at the
polls, not only due to their selfishness,
but due to a thoroughly antagonistic
spirit toward the Negro which is un-
just and unwarranted.

FRANK FRUEAUFF, PRESIDENT
OF DENVER GAS G. ELECTRIC
LIGHT COMPANY, DIES SUDDEN
LY IN NEW YORK, MONDAY,
JULY 81,

The Grim Monster has again in
vaded the ranks of the business
world, and snatched one of it's mem
bers who during a period of fifteen
to twenty years rose from a humble
position to one of eminence and fame
in Denver and New York great busi-
ness circles.
Mr.. Frueauff has occupied, it is
stated, every position in the Denver
Gas & Electric Light Company up to
the presidency, and his ability for fl
nancial constructive operations result
ing in wonderful success for the many
companies he was associated with,
won for him a distinction which few
men of his age achieved in the COM
parative few years of his existence
The internationally known firm of
Henry Doherty Company was not
slow to recognize the great business
acumen of Mr.. Frueauff, who can
well be called Colorado product, as
he was first educated in the graded
and high schools of LeadviIle and
Denver, Colorado, and distinguished
himself with such honors as to win
the attention of critical educationists
of the West. The deceased had a
warm spot in his heart for Denver,
and as he often expressed, felt at
home whenever he returned on visit
to his relatives or on business. For
the past few years he resided in
New York He was stricken in his Of
flee last Monday, returning home and
dying shortly afterwards from an at
tack of acute Indigestion.
But 4S years old, and this man be-
yond doubt has established the fact
of what cen be achieved by the youth
with perseverance, ability and that
assiduousness to duty which is merit
orious of success. Such characters of
the world never die" as their
achievements and contribution to
good government cannot but compel
a perpetual life in the memory of the
human family. Denver has lost
worthy citizen; the business world an
invaluable asset; the nation A MAN,
and so by way of consolation we can
only remind ourselves of the poetic
lines:
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of
power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth
e'er gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour;
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave"

Mr.. Frueauff for several years, and
having had an opportunity of receiv-
ing on more than one occasion the
benefits of his wise business counsel,
