CRITICISM.
Thinks President Took A Step
Backward.

In his message to Congress, Presi-
dent Coolidge devotes a paragraph ne.-
Ginning: Numbered among our popu-
lafion are some 100000 colored PEG
ple." He goes on to say THAT ION ac-
count Of the migration f1a,large num-
bers into industrial cent? t has been
proposed that commission be created
composed Of members from both races
to formulate a better policy for MI
tual understanding and confidence.
Such an effort is to be commended
But 1T is we'll to recognize that these
difficulties to large extent are local
problems which must be worked out by
the mutual forbearance and human
kindness of each community"
Isn't there an echo or the old debate
lasting for two generations before our
OWL War, regarding the so--called Ne
gro question in President Coolidge's
words? And doesn't he, inadvertently
perhaps, take the position of the slave
holding Southerners who resented the
idea that the question Of human sIav-
cry was national problem? The Dis

this matter, in direct opposition to

sntagonize, and rightly. all Americans
who believe that the status of the Ne.

sectional standpoint.
When General Hancock. the Demo
cratic candidate for President. assert

lost all chance that he had ever had of
election. The country at large ridicul

found in his mind an issue that was
nationwide in its scope from one that
had merely local significance.
1t would prove absolutely disastrous
for the Republican Party to nominate
for President candidate who fails to
realize that in so far as there is today
any problem connected with our Negro
brethren 1t is, and must always be. o
national and not sectional question.
