The expected efforts to lead dis
cussion on the Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill in the United States Senate by
Senators from Southern States. into
the realm Of sectional and racial
prejudice have already begun, ac-
Cording to Il statement released by
the National Association for the Adj
vancement Of Colored People at its
National Office, 70 Fifth Avenue,
New York.
On July /, two colored boys, Joe
Jordan and James Harvey, were
lynched at Lanes Bridge, Georgia,
aftor Governor Hardwick Of Georgia
had granted them respite Of thirty
days. This action followed the
gathering Of evidence by the N. A
n. G. p. and presentation of that
evidence to the Governor by attor-
neys employed by. the, N. A. A. G. P.
On July 10, the New York Times
carried an account of sermon by
Rev. p. II. Holloway, Of Jesup, Ga.
in WHICH this. white minister ar
raigned officers Of the law for neglect
Of their duty and accused them di-
rectly Of aiding the lynching party.

copy Of the Times clipping. Sen
ator William NJ. Calder, Of New
York inserted the clipping without
comment in the Congressional Re-
cord Of July 10. On the following
day Senator Calder was viciously
assailed by Senators Harris Of Geor-
gia, Shields Of Tennessee. and Dial
of South Carolina. These Senators
fnl
that "the South should be left alone
to settle the Negro question "*"**"

and pointed to newspaper accounts
Of crime in New York City as evil

attacked for lynching.
Nothing was said by any Of the

the sermon. which aroused the ire Of
Senators Harris, Dial and Shields,
charged that officers of the law prac-
ideally invited the lynchings.. In the
course Of his remarks he said:
THE morning after the unlawful
execution I heard two men talking
about a lynching, and one OF them
was an officer who took charge Of
the victims purpoBcly to take them
to Savannah. The general public
wants to know why they should have
been taken away from JeSup, and
especially why they should have been
taken away in Ford car, when there
were fast passenger trains going
straight through to Savannah making
no stop. We demand TO know how

REGISTER OF THE TREASURY.
(Chiaago Defender.)

| President Harding has at last AT.
nounced the appointment Of Register
. or tho Treasury. The man selected is
; an obscure white man said to be froI.l
Marietta, Ohio. We doubt very much
; II he's known outside OF the county in
! which he lives. But he is a white man
! upon the retirement OF Hon. B. X
! Bruce from the United States Senate
IN 1881 he was appointed Register OF
the Treasury by President Garfield.
Every Republican President since that
time-including Taft-has appointed
member OF our group to that position
except President Harrison.
When Mr.. Harrison was inaugurated
hc found Gen. w. S. Rosccrans-an ap.
pointee OF Cleveland-in that position,
and he was permitted to remain But
we were given other positions equally
rs dignified, important and lucrative.
Prior to the election Of Mr.. Taft We
uniformly voted for the Republican
candidate for President, because provi-
Gus Republican administrations justifi-
ed us in the belief that we would get
appropriate and satisfactory recognit-
ion, officially and otherwise, under any
Republican administration

that faith. When Mr.. Harding was nom
mated we found nothing in his career
upon which to base our faith that we
would not have in him a repetition Of
TAFT. This brings us to tho case Of
Charles A. Cottrell Of Toledo, Ohio.
His relations with Candidate Harding
were cordial and intimate. He was put
forth rs the spokesman, and the med.
ium through whom members OF our
group were to receive satisfactory as.
sllrances that Candidate Harding was
sound to the core in all questions vital
to us.
His Relations with Candidate Hard
ing were so intimate that he was affen.
tionntely referred to as "Charlie."
When he was written to he was doubt
less addressed as Dear Charlie" But
Dear Charlie" has evidently discover.
cd that Candidate Harding and Prosi-
dent Harding are two separate and dis
tinct persons. It was thought by many
OF Mr.. Cottrell's friends that he was to
be Register Of the Treasury--and he
fully deserved this or something bet
tor. But some Of the white clerks in
that bureau protested against the ap.
pointment Of any Colored man as head
thereof. These clerks represent a pro-
1asenda which the President evidently
lis disipel1nsd to aAtesoniss.

prescription and official segregation are
to be recognized, sanctioned and en-.
forced. 1t matters not what qualifica-
tons one OF our group may have, his
facial identity Is to be bar to his
ofncial recognition. Fortunately for US
and FOR the country, some OF the Presi
dents Cabinet ministers are not only
ablerbut fair and just men and are dis
pdsed to appropriately recognize wor-
thy and eritorious members OF our
group.
In this way several have secured
very good subordinate positions at the
hands OF Cabinet ministers. So far as
the chief executive is concerned we
need not expect any recognition.

AN EVANGELIST Or THE FIRST

Church, J. p. Gregory, Pastor We
have been in the midst of our an

with us tho worlds national and in

Skipwith. Although at this writing
our brother has been done one week
the spiritual lido is still running
high, so much SO. until at our SER
vice last Sunday hight when I was
ready to deliver the message, a tidal
wave Of religious enthusiasm swept
over our congregation, lifting men
and women off their feet. Cries OF
"Fhank God" could be heard. sim
ners were converted, while others
could BIO heard saying, Save me,
Lord"
All OF this is an index to the pres
ent power and reaching infu-
cnce Of DR.. Skipwith as a preacher,
singer. and reyivalist. We have
baptized sixty-five, given the hand Of
fellowship to one hundred and thirty
more, are waiting to be received.
No one Is held in higher est Gem
In Atlantic City than Brother Skip
with. Every year when he comes a
special sermon is requested to be
delivered to the hotel fraternity. This
was once his home, for years as a
hotel man and chOrister Of Second

He is preacher, singer and ready
thinker. He doesn't sock to excite
you with q noise and harangue,
but deep thoughts, and yet simple
The spirit and enthusiasm remains
as he goes, for We arc now singing
