Louisiana in Congress opposed the
appointment of Cohen to act as
Controller at the port which happens
to be second in the amount of bust
ness transacted in the United States
ranking only below New York. 1t is
no secret here that one OF the mis-
sions of Governor John +. Parker to
Washington a few days ago was to
urge the Administration not to name
Cohen.
Cohen's claim to the nomination is
said to rest on the fact that he is
the Republican Negro Leader in New
Orleans and is backed by the Repub-
lican National Committee. Up to this
time the Administration has appoint

New York, Nov. 3O-"Africa, like
every other land of continental pro-
portions, has all types of climates,
due to differences in latitude and
altitude, is a statement embodied
in the report of the African Educa-
ton Commission Just published by
the PhelpsStokes Fund. For in
stance, British South Africa, which
is one half the area of the United
States, Is almost entirely In the
South Temperate zone. All the West
Coast Colonies have some high sec
tons where the tropical heat is
fayorably modified, while the great
Congo Basin has an average alti-
tude of one thousand feet
In further discussion on the sub
ject the report says: Gwen in the
lower levels where mosquitoes and
tsetse flies have been a menace to
health and life missionaries, mer-
chants and government officials are
living with considerable safety and
comfort. Members OF the Education
Commission were repeatedly inn
pressed by the sight of Europeans
and Am ricans who have lived in
these regions for many years. In
one American mission station, Just
where the Congo River crosses the
Equator. the Commission saw four
American families with seven chill
dren, all in good health. In another
station In Lower Congo there were
two American missionaries and
their wives who have served an
average of forty years in that re-
gion, notorious for malaria and
sleeping sickness.

That the prosperity of all peo-
pies is dependent upon cooperative
relations with other peoples, and
that the influence OF the white races
on Africa has so far been, on the
whole, good. are conclusions reach
ed by the commission. Excerpts from
the report on the subject follow:
Some have thought that the in
fluences of Europeans and Ameri-
cans have been more for evil than
for good. Some have thought that
IL would have been better to leave
the African in his natural condi-
ton. Few have realized the import

been started and the changes that
have been wrought. II must be

Joshua ". Miles For
United States Senator

There is a str)EG sentiment among
the Democratic masses-men ana
women. OF the Eastern Shore-ln
favor of the nomination of Hon.
Joshua ". Miles for United States
senator
This sentiment exists indeed per
hans in a less pronounced but no less
significant degree in every section
Of the State. Tie editor OF this
paper has known Mr.. Miles intimate
~. and has closely observed his pri-
yate. professional and public career
almost from its beginning. We are
not advised as to whether or not MI.
Miles is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
Senator. but always assuming, as IS
now generally thought. that III" Old
war horse of the State Democracy,
Hon. John Walter Smith. is not
candidate for Senator, We hope Mr.
Miles will enter the race.
Certain it is if the leaders of the
Democratic Party desire to take no
chances and are looking for a sure
and certain winner. they could make
no mistake in railyin& to the support
of Mr.. Miles. He is man of the
calibre that appeals to the Demo
cratic rank and file.
Although there are few pubic
men more widely known in the pub
lie life of the State, he has held but
few public offices. \ marked char
acterstc of his has been prefer
ence to fight for some political prin-
ciple or policy or to lead in the con-
fripnH 1GSjrino hjoh
honors rather than to fight for Of
fetal positions himself. This out
standing characteristic was first
made manifested in his early days in
the memorable Eastern Shore Con
yention which nominated the late
! Henry Page for Congress. Mr.. Miles
lead in the fight for Judge Pages
nomination over the heads of leading
politicians of the State then support
ing the late Charles II. Gibson; and
Warfeld's campaign when Mr.. Miles

Withdrew his name from consldera-
ton as a candidate for the attorney
Gencralship that he nigh. u, r q to
fight for Wartieid S nomination. re
cognizing that the people of the
State-that is the rank and file OF
the UNDERSTANDING Nix. Warfield for
Governor.
But perhaps the mast striking IN
stance OF this trait in the makeup OF
Mr. Miles political character cropp-
ed out in the Democratic National
Convention at Baltimore in 1912. 1t
will be recalled that Mr. Miles was
the first man in the Maryland dele
cation to see the drift and take ad-
vantage of the situation in coming
out for the real choice of the people
OF Maryland tor President. He
was probably more responsible than
any other man in Maryland for the
attitude finally assumed by the
| Maryland delegation in the Balti-
more Convention in breaking away
| from the Clark column and joining
| the Wilson forces.
! While Mr.. Miles has held few
! public offices, in the several instances

! tablishing for himself a commenda-
