legend OF the inferiority Of the

advocacy OF the causes Ct the
blacks, following the winning the
Goncourt literary prize by the
Matinque writer Rene Maran.
Mangin is the great champion
OF the black army theory, holding
that only by training and srming
her colonial subjects can France
redress the balance in face OF more
populous Germany. Their fight

When this tube inflamed you have a

The biggest appointment OF an
able colored citizen that has ever
been made by New York may OF
was that OF Ferdinand Q. Morton.
to be civil service commissioner
OF New York City. The appoint
ment was a partial recognition oil
the tremendous black vote which
Mr.. Morton as chief OF the United
States Colored-Demo had led
into Tammany Hall at the last
election and secondly by a deserv-
ed recognition OF one OF the most
able and popular democrats regard

The appointment OF Morton
was to the place on the commits
sion OF the three guardians oil the
the civil service held by Com
missioner killiea. The commits
sion now consist OF Commissioners
kablap, Morton and brennan,
the last, named Republican. His
appointment means great step
forward for the colored citizens Of
New York, and larger place for
the colored citizen in the city
employe 1t is generally believed
that Morton would have been
named a magistrate to succeed
Judge Mancuso but the alternative
was given him after another was
named as the commission portfolio
Mr.. Morton was born in Missis-
slppi in 1882 and moved with his
family at an early age to Washing
ton where he attended and gradu.
ated from the public and high
schools.
He entered Harvard College al
ter graduation and later finished
Boston University Law school
He came to New York and entei-
ed actively in the practice of law
and plunged into politics. His
rise has been meteoric and deserv-
ed.
