Washington. d, c.. Jan. 12.-The
death of Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania, and the passing of viii II.
Hays from the position of Postmaster
eneral to high executive position in
the motion picture world, at a salary
of $4,000 per years, have absorbed
sip at the beginning of the new year.
Senator Penrose will be remember
ed for his notable interview, given
last Spring, with reference to Civil
Rights. as the Negro is affected. The
standing declarations for justice ever
uttered by a public man. 1t is true
that some of the Pennsylvania lead
ers claim that the late senator "at his
words" prior to the failure OF the
bill, but IL is known that the Sena-

thing to cause the defeat of the bill.
He was very much affected by the
criticism that followed and told a
representative of the Associated Ne
gro Press that he hoped the people
would not hold him responsible.
Senator Penrose was practical in his
political friendships. There were a
number of men "close" to him in

Philadelphia There are those who
wonder what effect the death will
have on the political fortunes of
'Hays" and 'BOb" Church.

viii II. Hays has always accepted
Robert r. Church strictly on his merit

Hays out of the cabinet, however, 1t
will be necessary for Mr.. Church to
form new political alliances. Attorney
General Daugherty has very eXalt-

while Howard and Church work hand
in hand" Church is of the type who
believes in dealing direct. Therefore
President Harding himself Is the best
bet for the crafty and earnest Ten

New Richmond to Front.
To succeed Will H. Hays, Senator
Spencer has recommended Walter y.
Dickey, manufacturer, newspaper own
err and multimillionaire of Kansas
city. Mr. Dickey is an unquestioned
friend of the Colored people, and
knows them from "a to lizard" He
is a master of the political game
and very practical in his plan of
operation. He believes in big things,
