KANSAS EDITOR
DEFENDS NEGRO
Says That Whites Think 1t
Funny to See Colored Peo-
pie Playing Golf and En-
gaging in Other White
Sports.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-William Allen
pee editor of Emporia, Kansas, in a
syndicate article published recently in
number of daily papers, told the
"white people where to get off," so far
concerned. Said Mr.. White:
"At Westfield, n. J., a colored golf
club has been established and nine
hole course laid out A colored colony
there seems to warrant the golf course.
The item that this course is laid out
will cause q million giggles to siZZle
across the country. Cartoonists will
make funny pictures of it. Vaudeville
artists will do sketches about it. Some
thing exquisitely funny seems to ex-
cite the white race when it sees the
colored race doing things which are
ordinary parts of the days work and
thought the elephant should drive an
auto or horse play the piano.
"The reason for this risibility of the
white man at the black mans human
activities is obvious and it is not cred
it to the white man. He thinks it is
funny to see the black man doing
things that normal human beings do,
because the white man does not think
of his dark-skinned fellOw-traveler on
the planet as human companion. The
white man considers any colored man
black, brown, red, yellow, or ma
roon-as an animal. The anthropolog
ical eonceit of the white man is pom
derous, unbelievable, vastly amusing to
the gods.
"Why should not the black man play
golf if his economic status gives him
leisure for golf? Why should he not
have a motor car and a country house
if he can afford it? Why glggle at the
normal activities of men whose skin
differs from our own? Something of
the same psychological reason is be-
ing the fact that we middle-class peo-
pie make merry over the fact that the
worker in the mines or shops or fur
naces wears a silk shirt or rents a
house with a bath or rides to work in
car. Why shouldn't he? Is he an
elephant doing stunts? Is he a horse
playing the piano? What's the joke if
he develops the same desires and aspi-
rations that we do? And who in Gods
name are we anyway"

American Bar AssO-
cations Commit
tee Endorses Anti
Lynching Bill

eve find that further legislation
| should be enacted by the Congress TO
punish and prevent lynching and mob
violence" was the official recon-
mendation of the American Bar Asso-
cations committees on law enforce
ment made at its annual meeting at
San Francisco on Aug. 10, according
to an announcement made by the Ma
| tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People at its office
here today. This action by the Bar
Association followed intensive work
| by the Advancement Association IN
seeking to have such a recommenda-
! ton made on the Dyer Anti-Lynchlng
Bill In March, James Weldon john
son. secretary of the association, went
to Washington at the request OF the
law enforcement committee to appear
at public hearings which were being
held to determine the causes of law
lessness in America. Following this
appearance Mr.. johnson went again to
the second meeting of the committee
on law enforcement held at Chicago
| on April 10. At both of these meet
ings Mr.. Johnson impressed upon
members of the committee the urgent
necessity of federal legislation against
lynching and urged the committee to
| include in it's recommendations to the
Bar Association an official approval
and support of the measure.
| The recommendation quoted above
gives official endorsement to the An
ti-Lynching Bill by the most influen-
tial group of lawyers m America. The
American Bar Association is composed
of the most illustrious lawyers in the
country, including such jurists as Will
liam H. Taft, chief justice of United
States Court Charles Evans Hughes,
secretary of state; Charles S. Whit
man, former governor II New York,
and the most influential members of
the bar in all parts of the country.
Endorsement of the Anti-Lynching
Bill by the American Bar Association
with endorsements that have already
been given to the measure make the
legal opinion of the country over
whelmingly in support of the consti-
tutionality of the measure and re-
moves any and all excuses on the
score of constitutionality which the
Senate and individual senators have
advanced as reason for delay in
passing the measure
This action also marks another for
ward step in the systematic work
which the n. A. A. G. z. has been con-
tinuously carrying on to secure the
enactment of Anti-Lynching legisla-
ton.

ORGANIZE COLORED
WOMEN PLEA OF
REPUBLICAN LEADERS

Mrs. Louise NJ. Dodson, director of
organization, Republican Women's Ma
tional Executive Committee, address,
ing 1000 delegates at the convention
of the Federation of Colored Womens
Clubs in Richmond, Va, Friday night,
August IL, emphasized the need of po-
litical organization for Colored women.
In speaking of the value of organiza-
tion she pointed out how little can be
accomplished by individuals and how
effective work can only be achieved
through organized effort in the
churches, the government and even in
the homes.
Through organization" said Mrs.
Dodson, 'the Colored women will be
able to educate the individual voters.
1t has been shown that the enfran-
chisement of women has raised the in
telligence of the individual voter.
Through organization the women also
hope to lower the per cent of the non
voters. This per cent at the present
time is a shame to the country. Fig
ures actually show that less than half
the qualified voters take the trouble
to vote.
'Most of us resent the political con-
ditions in Europe where by inheri-
tance certain citizens are the govern
ing class, yet we by our own wills in
this country, which is the freeest in
the world, in our failure to vote con-
fess our ability to be governed by
others than ourselves. This is one of
the problems which the new woman
voter will help to solve. If the time
ever comes when all citizens would
interest themselves in the government,
many of the evils which are now COM
planned of, would be abolished"
Speaking of Republicanism, Mrs.
Dodson said: 81 cannot see why wo-
men with any knowledge of the his
tory of the two parties could be other
than Republican. 1 hope the women
of this convention will not only vote
the Republican ticket themselves, but
will persuade their friends as well TO
support the Republican ticket. 1t
seems like carrying Goals to Newcastle
to talk Republicanism to an audience
of Colored people because they better
than all others, know that the Repub-
lican party has given them the oppor-
tunity for civil, political and almost
physical life itself

Negro Voters Urged
To Defeat Kelley

Declaring that it is the duty of ev-
cry colorea voter in Michigan to vote
against Patrick J. Kelley because of
his stand on the question of anti
lynching legislation when the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill was voted on in
the House of Representatives in JAN
uary, James Weldon Johnson, secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
has written to each of the sixteen
branches of that organization in Mich
igan, urging them to support Senator
Townsend, who has definitely declared
himself in favor of the bill, in prefer
ence to Kelley. Mr.. Johnson points
out in his letter that he is taking
such action and urges colored voters
to consider their votes not as narrow
and partisan political issue but as one
involving the fundamental right of all
persons to protection from mob vio-
lence and lynching.
When the Dyer Bill came up for
vote in the House, he declared, al
though it was clearly shown that the
states had failed to end lynching and
punish lynchers and that it was in
cumbent upon the national govern
ment to take some steps to end mob
outlawry, Mr. Kelley voted against
such remedial legislation, although the
Dyer Bill had been declared constitu-

Finds Places
for Competent
COlOred Men
White House Breaks Long
Spell in Race Appoint
ments = President Sticks
to Policy Promised-Par-
ty Harmony Latest Sal
vation.
(By Ike Murray.)

Washington, d. c., Aug. S.-Last
week an official surprise was sprung
upon Washington, when it became def
initely known that the long silence
maintained by the White House in
failure to reward colored men for serv-
ice rendered during the last Presiden-
tial compaign, was partly broken by
the appointment of three prominent
colored men to important federal posi-
tions.
Those who received assignments
were: Robert Wadsworth, as deputy
collector of revenue for the First dis
trict of New York; Franklin w. Nor
ton, junior assistant accountant, U. S.
Shipping, and j. b. Hawkins, assist
ant counsel, U. S. Shipping Board.
Senator Calder of New York was the
one who turned the trick and landed
these above named jobs.
1t is generally felt that the admins
tration will from time to time appoint
colored men to such places when Gu
pable and the opportunity occurs.
This assurance should at least set
to rest for a while the persistent ru-
NOR that the colored politician is a
"back-door" possibility.
The policy of the President, relating
to colored men holding lucrative
berths under the government, has not
been fully appreciated, and while it is
charged one or two attempts have
been made to keep the ball rolling,
sufficiently to produce a pat on the
shoulder effect, yet it is not a matter
of record that the avenue of hope is
entirely closed against those of color
where merit has been tested and quail
ification found.
Some claim the Handwriting upon
the wall' is plain, and that the Repub-
lican party realizes the "Old Elephant
is being pretty roughly handled.
Old-timers who have weathered the
gale shake their heads and have moth
ing to say.
Other members of the advance
guard (fairly good scouts and not
quite so serious), pin their faith upon
harmonizing all factions and believe
proper adjustment of party affairs can
be brought about only in this way.

DENVER COLORADO. SATURDAY. AUGUST 10 1922
THE DENVER G. RIO GRANDE
WESTERN RAILROAD
SYSTEM.

Commenting on seniority
rights and pensions, Receiver
Young of the Denver & Rio
Grande Western railroad said:
In recent public discussions of
the shipments strike, the erro-
neous statement has been made
repeatedly that loss of seniority
by returning men involves forfei-
ture of pension privileges. Sc
niority rights and pension priv
ileges are entirely separate and
distinct.
"a mans seniority is deter
mined by the position his name
occupies on a roster kept for
his particular craft at the point,
or for the division, where he is
employed. If he leaves the serv-
ice and returns, his name goes to
the bottom of the roster as of
the date on which he is re-em-
ployed. The Importance of Sc
niority is that it entities a man
to the choice of shifts-day or
highland to priority in bidding
IOE VI ollltl NAot ihOAS w
sirable positions as such oppor-
tunities occur; also that it gives
him preference over junior en-
ployes in holding his work when
it is necessary to lay men Off.
Seniority depends upon continu-
ity of employment.
pensions are based upon to-
tai years of service. Under the
Denver & Rio Grande Western
plan every employe, regardless of
grade or rank, must retire at the
age of 20 years. If incapacitat-
ed he may be retired at 90 years
or over if he has been in the
service twenty-five years or
more. He receives a pension or
l per cent of his average month
ly earnings for the last ten years
of work, multiplied by his total
number of years of service.
therefore, If shopman now
on strike seeks unemployment
and is accepted within one year
from date of leaving the service,
he loses seniority-that is, his
name goes at the bottom of the
seniority roster at the point
where he is re-employed, but he
does not necessarily lose any of
his pension privileges. The rail-
roads position on the seniority
issue does not impair or lessen
the pension privileges of its for
mer employees who are now out
of service, providing they seek
unemployment and are accepted.
"Another error which has been
circulated generally is that the
pensions of railroad employees
are paid in whole or in part by
contributions from the men them
selves. This is not the case on
the Denver & Rio Grande West
ern, nor as far as 1 know, on
other American railroads. Pen
sions are paid entirely out of the
funds of the railroad as a volun-
tary gift in recognition of long
and faithful service, and to as
sist old employees who have
passed the period of active work.
The railroad pays the pensions
and bears the entire cost or OPP
Grating the pension department.
1.-THE pension system on the
Denver & Rio Grande Western
was inaugurated July 1, 1917. At
the present time eighty-six en-
ployes are carried on the pension
roll, and annual payments are
now being made at the rate Of

tional by the attorney general OF the
United States, by the House commit
tee on the judiciary, by Moorfleld
Storey. former president of the Amer
lean Bar Association, and many other
eminent jurists. Mr.. Johnson empha-
sized that it was not the desire of the
Advancement Association to influence
the honest Judgment of any man in
public office but that on so funda-
mental an isue as that of protecting
American citizens from mob violence
and lynching, colored voters should
not and must not support any man
who did not by his vote show VIII
lingness to take some step to end the
reign of the mob in America, the prin-
cipal sufferers from whose deeds are
Negroes.
Mr. Johnson emphasized finally that
since colored voters had said that
they would defeat, if possible, any
man who voted against the Dyer Bill
that failure to defeat Mr.. Kelley
would mean that colored voters might
just as well in the future keep their
mouths shut on the subject of reward
ing friends and Furnishing enemies po-
litically.
