deavoring to hold colored personnel
away from the hospital.
The Associated Negro Press car
state with absolute knowledge that
the crux of the entire opposition is
not the mere matter Of a coIored per-
sonnet; nor is IL the holding of the
government to so-called promise;
nor Is Ii the fear of the power that
colored people may acquire by man.
ming the institution; the whole trou-
bic is the insane desire Of this small
group of Alabama politicians TO have
absolute control of the more than
81 ,25O, 900 annually required to run
the hospital. That, American cid-
zens, Is the answer to all of the agi-
tation.
The Program Won't Work.
The Associated Negro Press can
state on the highest and most reli-
able authority that the program Of
the little group of Alabama politi-
clans Is due to failure-it won't work.
There are many reasons why it will
not work. President Harding is the
first; and Director Hines is the sec
ond. The President and Director
Hines have determined to give o coll
ored personnel trial at the Veterans
hospital; and there is no sign of
either of them weakening. The op-
position has produced no argument
against it that Is worth a tinker's
dam! On the other hand, their at
titude has disgusted the administra-
tion officials into a determination to
the limit with their program, backed
up with all governmental resources
to achieve success.
Taking the other side of the argu-
ment: II there should develop such
a state of affairs that it is thought
unwise to place a colored personnel
in charge, there will be no Veterans
hospital I'm Tuskegee, SO far as pa
tients are concerned, except such in
valid patients who may be taken
there by force, or those who may be
insane.
Colored nurses, a number of whom
are already on the ground, coming
from the best institutions of the
land, and Of large experience, cannot
be expected to continue their serv-
ices in the institution; and the en-
tire proposition will die of dry rot,
according to the best information OBJ
tainable, gathered from sources that
cannot be questioned.
Colored public speakers and col
ored newspapers of the country will
practically be unanimous in discour-
aging attendance at the hospital un-
der the circumstances advocated by
the little group of Southern white
politicians. Their threats and venge-
ance will be met by cold indifference,
according to general opinion.
The colored people of America will
then go before the government in the
most gigantic publicity campaign
ever conducted, and seek a hospital
in location where people will be
treated with some degree of justice.
In this event, Alabama, which has
for years been regarded as one of the
outstanding states in the South CIV
ing better deal to her hundreds of
thousands of colored people than
many of her sister states, will fall to
state of degradation that may wipe
out the last vestige of her splendid,
law-abiding and progressive colored
population. Finally, again, it re-
mains to be seen which is the more
powerful, the Ku KIux of Alabama or
the United States government?

Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World succeeded in organizing and fl

in 1876 when John Wanamaker form.
ulated his principles for his organiza.
ton. His work. Mr.. Tompkins said
was that of a pioneer and the general
adoption Of his ideas has been slow.
Mr.. Tompkins also told of the re-
suits accomplished By the organization
of the national vigilance committee
formed In 1911. and later the forma
ton Of local vigilance organizations
This later led to the formation of Bet

REDS BUY u. S. COTTON
First Time American Staple Has Been
Bought Since Soviet Revolution.

Berlin. March 24.--The first cargo
Of American cotton bought on Rus
sim account since the Soviet revolu-
ton, is reported TO have left Bre-
men for Russia in the shape of a con-
signment of 5000 bales.
The shipment was made on a Rus
sian steamer, which is said to have
been set aside exclusively for the car
rying Of such cargoes. The purchase
was the first made by Russia through
the Bremen Cotton Exchange since
the war.
Trade circles call attention to the
fact that Russia's textile plants have
been abel to increase their produc-
ton to such an extent during the last
year that the cotton yield in Turke-
stan. although now greater than ever,
is proving insufficient TO meet the
Russian demand.
