Negro Bankers Offer
to Finance Liberian
Loan

Durham, n. C.-In the event that
Congress fails to authorize the Libe-
rian loan of $5,OOO,OOO, which this

African Republic will be able to get
the money from America. The Dur

similar conditions as those which
have already been offered"

years were spent there. When grown
into young womanhood she was sold
to Louisiana planter, and from then
until after the war, lived at and near
New Orleans. Her husband escaped
to the North and entered the "Yan-

A TLANTA, Ga, Nov S.-By the
"A Associated Press.)-The Demo
cratic "solid South" once again is
reality as a result of ballots cast in
Yesterdays general election, according
to returns early today.
The above flaring head line and
brief news item is almost humorous
in the face of the fact that President
Harding made a swing through the
south about year ago for the openly
avowed purpose of pouring oil on the
troubled waters and breaking the
"solid south" politically. He chose
Birmingham as convenient Dattle
ground and in carefully prepared
address he urged the southern white
man to seek higher political ground
and break away from the VICIOUS
habit of voting the Democratic ucKet
in season and out He at the same
fine admonished the Negro voters OF
the country that blindly voting the Re
publican ticket at all times was not
to his best interest The president py
this remarkable palliation hoped TO re-
move the shadowy cause of friction be-
tween the races in the south and Drlng
about an entirely new political allgh-
ment. Evidently the northern Negro
took the president at his word if one
may judge by the election returns
from Ohio, New York, New jersey
Kansas and other states where the
Negro vote appears in an appreclaDle
quantity. But the learning and sense
of discernment of the southern whlte
man is not quite so acute and so ne
went on in his usual blunt way OIL
voting the Democratic ticket. Ihe
moral of the whole thing, however, Is
that the sooner the Republican party
rids itself of the delusion that there Is
a possibility of breaking the politlcal
backbone of the Democratic party py
playing into the hands of southern
racial prejudices the more secure VIII
be their tenure of power throughout
the nation.

son, supreme medical director, Su-
preme Lodge, X. of P, with offices in

wrote Il letter to T. Il. Beacon, vice
president and general manager, Chi

forts to which colored passengers

DIR. Mason's experience, on Septem-
Der last, was, that in Il crowded

was compelled to move from his seat
by the train conductor, who wanted
to use it himself, the command being
given in most discourteous manner,
Il train brakeman being present, ap-
parently to back up the verbal COM
mand with force, if necessary.
DR.. Mason also recited in his letter
the fact that colored passengers are
not provided with any ordinary travel
comforts, including ice water in hot
weather, protection from cinders emit
ted by the engine, or lavatories in
which the CRIME and dirt can be re-
moved. He wrote:

War Department Ar
ranges for Return
of Col. YOung.'s
Body
Permission Secured for Re-
moval From English Ter
ritory and Arrangements
Made for Shipping Re-
mains to the United
States

Speculation as to the probable return
of the body of the late Col. Charles
Young, U. S. A, retired, who died at
Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, last jan
uary, is practically set at rest by a
communication from the office of the
Quartermaster General, War Depart
ment, Washington, to VIM. Service
Bell, first vice-commander, Colonel
Charles Young Post, 39S, American Le-
gion, stating that all preliminary ar
rangements have been made and con-
sent obtained from the English govern
ment for removal of Col. Young's body.
The remains are expected in the
United States within the next few
months.
Col. Young, who was military at
tache to the United States Consulate
at Monrovia, Liberia, died while on
tour of inspection through Nigeria,
which is British territory. He was in
tered at Lagos, 1,500 miles from Mon
rovia. Under English law the body
could not be eXhumed until after six
months had elapsed. The letter from
the War Department advises the Col.
Charles Young Post that:
"This office is in receipt of cable
from the American minister at Monro-
via, Liberia, to the effect that author
ity has been secured of the Nigerian
government for the eXhumIng OF the
remains of Colonel Young, also that
the government of Nigeria has con
sented to take the responsibility of
placing the remains on board ship, and
that he is making necessary arrange
ments with the steamship line at La
gos for transportation of the remains
Inasmuch as the necessary instructions
have been given relative to the pro-
curement of the casket and all details
arranged with the Nigerian govern
ment, it is believed that it will be pos
sible TO get the remains into this
country within a very few months"
