Tenn, Oct. G.
IN Especially That the Negro
leadership of America stands
squarely for the maintenance and en-
forcement of the federal prohibition
amendment is clearly evidenced by the
big National Conference on Temper
ance, Public Morals and Law Enforce
ment which is in session mere unis
week Delegates to the number of
several hundred are gathered from all
addressed by scores of representative
Negro leaders of all professions and
denominations. Every speech sounds
the unmistakable note of loyalty to
the constitution and the laws of the
land, and calls the race to stand like
flint against all who would set them
at naught. Special emphasis is laid
upon the duty of the pulpit, the schools
and the press to pass the challenge on
to every citizen.
AS expressive of the mind of the
conference on the subject of prohibit
ton, the following telegram was, by
unanimous vote, ordered sent to Hon.
Roy Haynes, the federal prohibition
commissioner: "This conference, rep
resenting every section of the Negro
population, is committed to the high
resolve of helping in every way pos
sible the effective enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol
stead law"
Education, juvenile delinquency, the
cigarette habit, the use of drugs, vice
prevention, lynching and other topics
of vital Importance are being vigor-
ously treated also. The audiences,
running often to a thousand or more,
are giving the closest attention, sitting
through the long sessions daily and
evidencing constantly their hearty ap-
proval. The conference, while thor
oughly er-denominational, was
planned by the Methodist Board of
Morals, and was promoted and ar
ranged by DIR. ]. n. C. Coggin of that
board
This is the first national law CON
ference of Negroes ever held, and is
expected to have far-reaching conse-
quences as the beginning of a general
crusade among the race in the interest
of sobriety, good citizenship and
righteous government.

Compares
Lynching Horrors
to Turkish Atroc-
tiles.

Declaring that Turkish atrocities
were no worse than eXcesses commit
ted by the lynching mobs in America,
james Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, ad-
dressed the Law Enforcement Confer
ence, being held October 3rd to 9th,
under the auspices of the Board of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in Nashville, Tenn.
'1n horror there is nothing to choose
between the worst eXcesses attributed
to the Turk and the torture of the
victims of lynching mobs in America"
said Mr.. Johnson. Have not 81
women been lynched in the Christian
United States between the years 1889
and 1921? Have not 3,436 known
lynchings taken place in our country
from 1889 to January 1, 1922? And
what is the alleged excuse for these
horrors? 1t is that the Negro is a
rapist Certainly that charge is not
justified against the SO women who
were murdered by mobs. OF the 3,436
known lynchings to which l have re-
ferred, only $40 or 16.5 per cent were
even attributed to the crime of rape,
and it should be borne in mind that
accusing a man of rape is far from
establishing his guilt | have with me
figures showing that in one year, in
one of the five counties comprising
greater New York more white persons
were indicted for rape in the first de-
gree than there were Negroes accused
of it and lynched for it throughout the
United States in n five-year period in
Guiding that year. The year is 1917,
in which 81 white persons were in
dicted for rape in the first degree in
New York county. In the five-year
period, 1914-191S, only % Negroes out
of 264 lynched were accused of rape,
and these figures are exclusive of the
deaths in the East st. Louis riot of
1917.
at is very largely in the hands of
the church as a moulder of public
opinion to correct the malicious SIAN
der which gives rise to the abominable
crimes of mob murder that make our
protests about Turkish atrocities seem
the veriest hypocrisy"

White SOutherner
Praises Negro
Character

A white Southerner, Archibald Rut-
ledge, writing in the August 23rd num-
ber of "The Outlook" published at 3S1
Fourth Avenue, New York. gives one
of the most encouraging and friendly
pictures of Negro home life that has
appeared in recent years, according to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
Under the title, "By the Black
Hearthstone," Mr.. Rutledge tells of
visits to an old colored man, a friend
with whom he had hunted in boyhood.
81 want to bear testimony" says Mr..
Rutledge, that the Negro has the
grace of heart to be as genuinely cour-
teous as any man who walks the earth.
And by courteous 1 do not mean
that he can sense the fitness of things
and that he knows something of the
reticences and the Differences of the
heart. 1 take it that courtesy of this
sort is an excitingly authentic sign of
character; and 1 know that 1 have
found high and gentle courtesy in the
Negro
Mr.. Rutledge further, after con-
vincing description of his Negro friend
and the charming house in which he
lives, assails the caricature of the race
spread in motion pictures and maga-
zines: Inevitably he will be shown to
be cowardly, absurd, pilfering, schenl-
ing, credulous, preposterous. If the
characterizations were true, they
might be ludicrous; but nearly all of
them are shamelessly false. Long
have been amazed that the American
public should be for so great a length
of time so deeply deluded. The
popular idea of the Negro is as men,
acing to his and to the country's well
fare as it is essentially false"

REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL TRIUMPH IN
NOVEMBER
NATION NOT READY TO FOLLOW DEMO-
CRATIC LEADERSHIP.

that it may justly be held responsible
for producing efficient results, it
should be given a fair trial. In order
that it may have fair trial, the in
tricate machinery must be manned and
equipped by its friends and not by its
enemies. President Harding is the
master mechanic The Senate and
House of Representatives must be CO.
ordinated with his plans. To produce
efficiency in government, these two
branches of Congress must be in COM
plete harmony with the Executive.
The House of Representatives must be
Republican in order that the Republi-
can party may be held responsible for
the results of the Harding administra-
ton at the end of its term of office.
To elect q Democratic House of Rep
resentatives would be to swap horses
while crossing the raging stream. 1t
would effectually block the operation
of the governmental machine and null
lify the high purpose which the ad-
ministration has in mind. No doubt a
great many Republicans have differed
with the administration and with Con-
gress upon particular measures, Dut
because a Republican may not have
had his way upon some particular
measure which Congress has enacted,
or for which President Harding stands
sponsor, is that a sufficient reason for
putting the Democratic party in power,
with which party such Republican
could not agree on anything?
We do not object to criticism. We
realize that this government must be
conducted by parties and parties must
be held together by compact and eff
fective organization. Government by
political party means continuous
fight to command the confidence of a
majority of the electors. The Demo-
cratic party is bound to attack the
record of the Republican party or else
make no contest. The largest part of
the criticism which is leveled at the
splendid achievements of the Republic
can party is mere captious criticism.
1t is not made in good faith. 1t is
hollow sound and fury. 1t does not
ring true. 1t is made for political eff
feet only. 1t is an attempt, kept up
by the continuous roar of many voices,
to confuse the minds of the American
voters. The Republican party has per-
formed an Herculean task. The struc-
ture it took over when it elected the
Democratic party from power resem-
bled a great Industrial plant after
conflagration.
The Democratic party is issueless
and leaderless. There was once a mil
liant, virile Democratic party, stand
ing for something definite even If
mostly destructive, which might have
been able to take advantage OF the
present situation to its own advan-
tage But under existing conditions
Democratic prospects are looking up
only in the sense that the Democratic
party is flat on it's back and gazing
straight up into the clouds. The Maine
result foreshadows what VIII happen
on November 7th. The American peo-
ple will bid the administration go for
ward to the completion of the work
in which it is engaged-that OF get
ting the country on its feet after eight
wears of an administration that left
the nation PROSTATE.

from the islands occasiOned much dis
appointment there. The soldiers had
entered into the life of the Filipinos to
such an extent that the inhabitants
called them brothers. Many of the
men when their service with the army
was ended went into business on the
other side. Thus quite a flourishing
community of former service men was
built up in Manila.

of the regiment will be sent to Fort

Washington, Oct. 10.-Stirred to
action by repeated outrages of the
Ku KluX Klan in Texas, the Hard
ing administration has determined
to force ii showdown on the issue
of the Klan's 'invisible govern
ment."
This decision reveals Il situation
unique in the annals of American
political history.
1t will mean that Il Republican
administration will support the
candidacy of an independent Dem
ocrat for the United States Sen
ate. He is George e. B. Peddy of
Houston, anti-Ku Klux Klan can
didate. Peddy is out to end the
''hooded horror of the Klan in
Texas, where repeated outrages,
including the tarring and feather
ing of women, are regarded us
threatening the sovereignty of the
federal government.
The decision to support Peddy
was reached at White House
conference Saturday night, between
President Harding, Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty, Secretary of War
Weeks and II. B. Creager of
Brownsville, Texas, Republican
state chairman and close friend of
the President.
More than 100 recent outrages
on the part OF the Klan and its
women auxiliary, known as the
"Invisible Eye" moved Chairman
Creager and other Republican
leaders to come to Washington to
appeal for support in opposing the
Senate candidacy of Earle r. May
field. The latter is the acknOwl
edged Ku Klux candidate for the
Senate seat.
In indorsing the candidacy of
Peddy, Republican leaders here be-
lieve that Mayfield's support will
be split, permitting Peddy to cap
ture the elections.
Chairman Creager, it is under
stood, will return to Texas with
letters of Endorsement for Peddy
from John II. Adams, chairman of
the Republican national committee,
cabinet members and others of the
highest officials in the Harding
administration. Whether President
Harding will personally indorse
Peddy is matter for further con-
sideration by the White House.
The Klan's open defiance of the
law in Texas may move the Pres
ident to write letter of indorse-
ment, it is understood
That the issue transcends Texas
state politics and has reached the
proportions of IL national menace,
is the belief Of officials here.
They demand Il showdown and to
bring it about are willing to. over
step party lines completely in sup
port of an Independent Democrat.
The Colorado statesman., 1922-10-14

T HIS is the time of the year in
every political campaign when
II the Democratic party wins its
victories. Strong claims are being
flashed from all parts of the country
that the American people are already
weary of the rule of the Harding ad-
ministration and are eagerly awaiting
the arrival of Nov. Z when a return to
the rule of the Democratic party is in
evitable. Certainly there is nothing
upon the political horizon at present
to lend the slightest justification to
such a claim, nor is there possibility
of its fulfillment on election day. The
American voting public still possesses
a degree of common sense as well as
convenient memories, and the disas-
trous effects of the last Democratic
administration are all too present
with us to even think of a repetition.
1t is natural that the Republican
party, being in power nationally,
should today be the target OF much
of this dissatisfaction, and that the
national administration and Congress
should be subjected to much criticism.
That would be true no matter what
had been done or left undone since
the Inauguration of President Harding.
When the Republican party came into
.power it inherited governmental con-
dition so chaotic that the removal of
the wreckage and the reconstruction
of the national economic fabric has
been task so gigantic that in the
nature of things it could not be COM
pleted to the satisfaction of everybody
at time when the spirit of criticism
is so generally rampant.
The Republican victory of 1920 was
so overwhelming that it was not to be
expected the sixteen million voters
who cast Republican ballots would be
as well united in a remedy for the
wrongs and abuses of the Wilson ad-
ministration as in the condemnation
of these evils. To expect that the
program worked out by the new ad-
ministration would in all respects suit
everyone, was to anticipate miracles
and the day of miracles is over, de-
snite the profession of some political
leaders who assure the people that IL
only given an opportunity they couio
so adjust the laws as to make every
body happy. The politicians who deal
in bunk of this kind, who blame all
the ills that flesh is heir to on govern
Ii. hot
vented governmental reforms that Will
superinduce the millennium, are elther
fanatics or crooks-and some OF them
are a combination of both. Russia is
Just now going through an experience
with political confidence men OF TINS
breed that is the best possible anti
dote for unreasoning radicalism.
The Republican party came INTO
power in 1920 after eight years Oh
Democratic misrule, the last four OF
which embraced the war period with
all of it's dastardly mal-administratlon'
The governmental machinery was
warped and twisted to an extent whlch
made efficient operation an impossi-
bility. IT had to be readjusted, re-
newed, and co-ordinated. The wreck
age has been removed as fast as pos
sible, the machinery is now worklhs
smoothly, and the plant is on the poih'
of enormous and profitable proouc-
tion. The Harding administrator Is
