Racial Solidarity Again.

There appeared in last weeks
issue of the Louisville News, a
paper published by colored men
and women for colored men and
women. a statement to the effect
that last summer, while the heat
ed municipal campaign was in
progress, financial agents of the
Searcy- Chiffon Republican ma
chine sent to all, or nearly all,
of the colored churches of Louis
vile and the pastor of at least
one colored church returned a
check for $4O0, stating that, al
though his church needed money
it did not need that kind of
money.
We would much like to have
this incident verified. If cor
rect, it is as creditable to that
colored church as it is discredita-
BILE to the political machine that
is charged with using political
campaign funds for this purpose.
In any event, the tracing of the
large sums of money that were
spent last year among the colored
people of Louisville by the Re-
publican machine would be a
matter of vital civic interest if
the facts could be obtained.
The Evening Post has again
and again referred to that omi-
nous phenomena of Louisville
politics-racial solidarity. We
make no secret of our conviction
that racial solidarity is unfortu-
nate and dangerous. Of course
it would not be necessary for the
colored vote to split into two
equal divisions: no one expects
that. But last year it was dem
onstrated with mathematical GER
tainty that. while the white peo-
pie divide in local politics, the Re-
public n machine has established

tory to itself, racial solidarity a.

During the period from l7TS To

the United States. Il was agreed
that we were to pay 5 per cent

Franklin got the king to allow Il
years for the payment Of this
sum
The king wrote: "His mai

WARRINGTON LETTER.
WALLACE BAssFoRD.

SnOTCly DeIOre the eiecClOn OI
President Harding, Senator
Lodge, Judge Hughes and some
twenty-nine other men, whose
names were thought sufficiently
impressive to make the people be-
Iieve an otherwise improbable
tale, issued a statement in which
they said that the way to get into
the League of Nations was to
vote for Harding. 1t is far from
the province or the intention of
this writer to fall foul of those
who may have their own views on
that momentous question, but it
is healthful and harmless to
laugh and to rejoice at having
been born a Missourian, with all
of the inborn incredulity of that
race of Disciples of Aristotle.
For was it not that great Greek
philosopher who said that In
credulity is the source of all wis
DOM? How Lodge and Hughes
and the other twenty-nine must
chuckle at the gullibiliry of the
average voter! Thousands fell
for it. Thousands are now fall
ing for that other great piece of
bunkum. the Presidents claim
to great economics in the admins
tration of the government.
When this session of Congress
adjourns along in the Dog Days
of August, or later it will be
found that the appropriations for
the support of the government
will be fully as large as for the
previous year, and that..saturnalia
of extravaganza was also Re-
publican financial debauch.
H. H. Kchlsaat, for many
.. years the editor of Chicago's
great Republican newspaper and
the friend of Mckinley and
Hanna, tells in his autobiography
a little tale of Lodge which, had
it been known in the fall!of 1920,
would have caused the public to
take with grain of salt his prom
ise that Harding would lead the
country into the League of
Nations. Of course his manifes-
to was given out in or der to hold
to Harding those Republicans
who favored the League. Kchl-
saat tells how he urged Hanna to
show to Lodge the draft of the
financial plank on which McKiD-
ley was to run-a plank sawed
out in the Offices of ]. P. M. &
Co., in Wall Street, just opposite
the New York Stock Exchange.
Hanna swore a Mighty oath and
refused, saying that Lodge could
not be trusted to keep it under
his hat. KchIsaat over persuad-
ed him, however, and with Han
mas reluctant permission. show
ed the plank to Lodge, who beg
J ged copy on promise of secrecy.
What was Kchlsaat's chagrin tn
find that he Boston papers had
it next morning with Lodge head
lined as the author of the plank,
and the Associated Press wiring
it to st. Louis under a Boston
. date-line! And thus Lodge slipp-
ed under the canvas and made al
Massachusetts believe that it was
his brain that achieved that mon
umental financial hocus-pocu:
that fooled the people in the year
1896. Now the question naturally
arises, who engineered the hocus
pocus of 1920? No matter wht

the Senate yesterday ratified withou
| reservation or amendments the treat,
with Japan confirming American CABLE
and radio rights on the island of zap
| The final vote was 81 to %, repre-
senting a margin of seven over the nee
essary two thirds. The 81 Democrats
present divided. 10 for ratification and
10 against, while only three Republi-
cans voted in the negative.
Ratification Of the zap treaty fol-
lowed an all-day battle over reserya-
tions and amendments, during which
dissatisfied senators on the Democratic
side, Joined by few Republicans,
sought msuccessfully to attach qualifi-
cation to the ratification resolution. A
half dozen prospects, all presented by
Democratic senators, were voted down
successfully by overwhelming majori-
ties.
The reservationists made their prin-
cipal fight and reached the high wa
ter mark of their strength in favor of
an amendment which would have de-
clared that the United States should
be the sole judge as to whether Amer

p6nents of the amendment argued that
a controversy might arise over the
question whether Japanese facilities
are adequate. On the roll call, 20
votes, including those Of four Repuh-
leans, were mustered for the proposal,
while 81 senators, including five Dem
ocrats, voted against IL.
In opposing the radio amendment,
Senator Lodge, the Republican leader.
and Senator Underwood, leader of the
both of them members of

in any controversy over the

that to attach either reservations or

opened to negotiation.

TRY MAGNESIA FOR
STOMACH TROUBLE
1t Neutralizes Stomach Acidity, Pre-.
vents Food Fermentation, Sour
Classy Stomach and Acid
Indigestion.

Doubtless if you are sufferer from
indigestion, you have already tried pep
sin, pancreatin, charcoal, drugs and
various digestive aids and you know
these things will not cure your trou-
ble-in some eases do not even give
relief.
But before giving up hope and de-
Gliding you are a chronic dyspeptic just
try the effect OF little Bisurated Mag
nesia--not the ordinary commercial
carbonate, citrate, or milk, but the
pure Bisurated Magnesia which you
can obtain from practically any drug
gist in either powdered or tablet form.
Take teaspoonful of the powder or
two compressed tablets with little
water after your next meal, and see
what difference this makes. 1t will
instantly neutralize the dangerous,
harmful acid in the stomach which
now causes your food to ferment and
sour, making gas, wind, hatulence,
heartburn and the bloated or heavy,
lumpy feeling that seems TO follow
most everything you eat.
You will find that provided you take
a little Bisurated Magnesia immediate
ly after a meal, you can eat almost
anything and enjoy ii without any
danger of pain or discomfort to follow
and moreover, the continued use of the
bisurated magnesia cannot injure the
stomach in any way so long as there
are any symptoms of acid Indigestion.

To Protect the Status Quo.

Quite az significant as the protec-
tion accorded TO France is the agree
ment between Lloyd George and poin-
care for similar protection TO Poland.
! The Times correspondent refers to this
arrangement as "a considerable victory
gained by France for her protege.v II
is more than a considerable victory. 1t
is a settlement that goes TO the heart
Of the European problem. As far as the
security of French soil is concerned, a
written alliance might possibly have
been dispensed with. Great Britain
certainly would not have regarded
with equanimity a new German attack
on France. and even the United States
would have been far from Indifferent.
But with regard to Poland il was made
quite obvious during tse discussions
about Genoa that a considerable por-
ton of public opinion expected a re-
writing of the treaties. The frontiers
of 1919 were 10 60 into the melting
pot. The references was to Poland.
But once You say Poland, you also
imply Czeeho- Slovakia, Roumania
and Jugoslsvia.
This would only have meant TO
wrench the lid off Pandora's box in
central Europe. People spoke of Genoa
as a conference for reconstruction. But
in a good many instances people did
not mean reconstruction but destruc-
tion-the destruction Of the Europe Of
1919 as determined by a catastrophe
war and a difficult peace. Some who 80
spoke many or may not have realized
