Suburban Constabulary.

~ UTLYING neighborhoods of the District of
Columbia sadly lacking in adequate po-
lice protection
The Metropolitan Police Department is handi-
capped by lack of enough to patrol those wide,
and in some cases, spsrsely settled areas.
Maj. Sullivan has devised excellent plan to
remedy this condition 1t requires seventy-hve
extra policemen to be distributed three
watches. One half of these would patrol definite
number of suburban streets on bicycles, while the
other, half remained at guard boxes, keeping in
touch with the precinct station and ready for call in
emergencies
The plan is not original Other American cit
les which have developed large suburban areas have
encountered the same condition and have turned
to the same remedy. In every it has been
successful
Additions to the police force, however, must be
paid. Their wage is the cost of suburban security.
In Washington Congress must approve appropria-
tions to meet the additional payroll.
Recently the District Commissioners and the
major of police have been given reason to doubt
that Congress will realize the seriousness of the
matter and consent to the enlarge force. In this
respect whatever influence suburban jewellers can
exert will be valuable. Congress must be made to
see the open field left for criminals in these outlying
neighborhoods.
The seventy-hve additional men needed If
Washington suburbs are to be communities whose
inhabitants retire at night with fear in their
hearts except fear of the Lord.

TO STRESS RACE PRIDE.

Columbus, Ca, May 4.-The feature
of the annual meeting of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Education in the State of Georgia
and the Georgia Association of teach
ers in Coiored Schools, which was held
here during the past week. was the
address delivered by DIR. Robert r.
Motion, principal of Tuskegee Insti-
tute. DR.. Motion urged the teachers
to emphasize the Importance of race
of thrift; and to inject the spirit OF
cooperation and faith in humanity into
the lives of the children and adults
in their communities. Among other
things he said;
"One of the essential elements OF
great people is pride in race. The
Negro, in order to take his rightful
place among the other great races OF
the world. must be proud of his race
and believe the possibilities of the
race. 1 know Of no better manner OF
acquiring these necessary attributes
than through the study of books writ
ten by Negroes. In this way the
youth of the race will learn of the
accomplishments of the race and that
or inferior race hut rather to one
which has produced many remarkable
men and who have made many con-
tributions towards the development OF
this country Such knowledge of the
achievements of members of their
race who with limited advantages
have attained eminence along all lines
will inspire faith and pride in race
as well as inject a spirit of belief In
the possibilities of the race, which
is so necessary to the future progress
of the Negro in America

TEXAS CONGRESSMAN CRITICIZED FOR WASHINGTON SPEECH
BOSS OF GEORGIA murder FARM" GETS NEW TRIAL.
NEWARK MAN
WILL RUN FOR
SENATE.

Newark, N. ]. May 4.--For the first
time in history of local politics, a
Negro win seek the office of United
States Senator on the Republican tick
ct in November The Independent Vo-
ters' League arrived at that decision
in the closing hours of its annual
meeting.
The leaders admit they have no
chance of .electing a representatives
but believe It will Interfere with the
chances of the rejection Of Senator
Frelinghuysen.
Negroes from every county in the
state attended the meeting at Roose-
there were 200 present and oniv four
favored Senator Frelinghusen. Reso-
lutions condemning the lilly white
policy of President Harding the in
difference of Senator Frelinghusen to-
ward the Negro, Of the stand of Con-
gresham Parker in opposing the anti
lynching bill were adopted.
Rev. ]. t. w Rountree of Trenton
sought the endorsement for the sena-
torial candidacy but the delegates
agreed that the honor should go To
an Essex county Republican
Rumors that Henry Ford, Mayor
Hugue and others were backing the
INDEPENDENTS were denied John T.
Cheshire. who was a candidate in the
Republican primaries for Assembly,
waiter l)arden, who ran on the labor
legislatuive ticket, and scores of old
line q. o. p workers were present.
The declaration of Rev. Sylvester Cor
rothers that he Is ready to deliver
$4,000 Colored votes to Cove Edwards
as United States Senatorial candidate
and the reports that Rev. I. w. l..
Rountree of Trenton may enter the
race for u. S. Senator to draw votes
away from Senator Frellnghusen
caused DR.. George L. Cannon of Jer
sew City to issue this statement.
Colored men are just like white
men. They get sore when they fail
to land Jobs. While Senator Freling-
huysen has not done all that the
Colored voters asked him to do, he
has done more for the Colored voters
than any other IT, S. Senator that
New Jersey has ever had.
"Then too. there are other people
besides Colored people whose inter
ests must be looked after by the
United States Senator. Those of us
who have supported Mr.. Frelinghusen
feel that he has made a good record.
I do not believe that any right think
ing man is going to be deceived by
any person who parades about the
state claiming that he carries $4,000
votes around in his vest pocket"
DIR. Cannon predicts Frelinghusen
large majority next November.

National Guard in Okla.
hOma NOn-Klux.
(By A. N. P.)

Oklahoma City. OKLA May Gov
ernor Robertson issued a general or
der stating there is no room in the
Oklahoma National Guard for any
officer or man who owes an allegiance
to any power, secret organization or
society that might become arrayed
against the United States or the
State of Oh iahoma and its laws. The
order is aimed against membership in
the KU KluX Khan.
The order sets out that what pur-
ports to be proof has been furnished
the governor and adjutant general
that number of officers of the guard
hold membership in the Klux and
warns against swearing allegiance
to any organization that at any time
may require the services of the guard
to suppress"
Tin such a case" it continues, THE
guardsmen would be crucfied between
the two allegiances. IL there are
either officers or men in the guard
involved In any such organ cation,
they must Immediately forswcar the
organization or get out of the guard"
The order was characterized by Gov
Robertson as a Warning rather
than an outgrowth of ANY particular
condition"
Adj Gen Charles f. Barrett said
that thus far only one officer has
been directly involved in alleged Ku
Klux Khan activities. He has been
relieved from duty.
