WHITE METHODISTS SPEAK
PLAINLY.

The Tuskegee incident. where the
ku Klux, Khan paraded. through the
streets OF Tuskegee. Alabama as q
protest against the assignment Of
Negro physicians over a Negro hospi-
tail is having its effect and the dor
mant feeling amongst the better class
of white people of the Southland has
been aroused. These white people
have been silent with reference to
many Of these outrages, but obey are
realizing at last that the GOSH is too
great to the section OF the country
that they love 80 well.
The following report from Lake
Juanaluska North Carolina will he
read with interest:
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Of Viz
gin'a, today made public a resolution
adopUed by the social service commits
sion Of. the Methodist Episcopal
Church South in international session
here. Endorsing the Institute at Tus-
kegee, Alabama, and declaring any
invasion OF its rights or interference
with its lawful labors "wouh be a
calamity to the institution and a
lasting disgrace to our Southern civ.
ilization."
"Inasmuch as there has come to
u.s." the resolution said, Through
reliable newspaper reports and pri-
vate sources of undOubHed reliability
that the interests of that great insti-
tution for our codored people at
Tuskegee. Alabama, are seriously
menaced by threats of organized in
Preferences;
Resolved, that this commission
put on record our appreciation of the
incalculable value of that institution
for the training Of our colOred fellow
citizens. and declare our unalterable
conviction that any invasion. or
threatened invasion, of its rights or
interference with the orderly pursuit
of its lawful and benevolent labors
would be calamity to the institution
and lasting disgrace to our South
ern civilization"
The commission is composed of
prominent leaders of the Southern
Method;at Church, being made up of
the heads of the departments. The
church has a membership of over
100000 white people throughout the
South.
The most gratifying part of this
publication is that Virginian
Bishop James Cannon, Jr. led the
movement. The Negro hating ele-
ments OF the Southland must be kept
under control and the better class OF
white and cJlored people must con-
tinue to cooperate.
There can be no possible excuse
for this outbreak of race prejudice at
Tuskegee, Alabama DR.. Robert r.
Motion Of this State is one of the most
conservative citizens of color in this
country. He has made a remark able
record during his period OF control
at Tuskegee Institute and we note
with pleasure that he is being backed
up by such powerful white organi.
eaton as the Methodist EPISCOPAL
Church. South

In Its issue of the 9Th inst, under
the caption Of, 'Befriending' Major
Notion" says:
The common sense that has carried
Tuskegee Institute through a thous-
and difficulties doubtless Will suffice
to prevent a clash over the personnel
OF the Federal hospital there. But
the display OF common sense is not
stimulated by the appeal to the Pres.
ndent the National Association for
The Advancement of Colored People
has made. This organization, which
yesterday asked that federal troops
be sent to Alabama. has been ex-
tremely critical of Major Motion. the
pr ncipal of Tuskegee, and has been
bitterly hostile to the policy of con-
Citation he has advocated. Major
Motion is entirely too much of man.
100 courageous and too level-headed
to ask for United States troops; those
who urge federal interference, osten-
sibly for his safety, simply are max
ing his task more difiicult.
We must admit that we have been
disappointed at the failure OF this
influential journal to condemn the
action Of The Ku Klux Khan Of Ala
bama to coerce the President of the
United States and the offcials asso.
GATED with him into having white
ofiicials in charge of a hospital as
signed exclusively for Negroes.
This attitude cannot be defended
upon the basis Of rules in vogue N
Southern States. The Ku Nlux Khan
gave the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People an
opportunity and 1t did not fail to
take advantage Of it The separation
of the races in the Southern States
has been a pet hobby of the Southern
people for more than a decade. To
now advocate the intermixture of
these same dlass Of people is an In.
consistence unparalleled in the his
tory OF this southern country.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
no love for Major R. R. Motion or
for leaders of his type. Certainly,
the organization has accumulated it's
opposition to the policy Of this class
OF leaders and shown the manifest
Inconsistency of the South in dealing
even with his kind Of leaders.
The Editor of the Richmond, Va
News-Leader may know best, but we
are at loss to understand its posi-
ton in failing to condemn this most
absurd manifestation of race preju-
dice in dealing with the most conser-
vative Negro leader to be found any,
where in this country.

The future policy of the Veterans
bureau in regard, to the operation of
the Tuskegee, Ala. veterans hospital
with Negro personnel rests on o de

II the Federal Government is in

today on returning from personal
inspection at Tuskegee.
For the present. Director Hines

tors and Negro nurses, but the pro

ready to put them in when a definite
policy is decided, will continue.
Director Hines announces that for
the present, the staff of white ply.
sicians will not be disturbed The
good faith of the government is
pledged. Here in the "heart" of the
South, so to speak, where Negro
teachers are demanded for Negro
schools and where, in many instances
"hite northern teachers are not al
lowed to be on the faculty, where
colored instructors are employed, a
demand is made to have white physi.
clans in charge of Negro hospital.
The very idea is absurd. Pres;-
dent Harding has committed himself
and In so doing, he is backed by the
most rabid sentiment in the Southern
States. Any change now would be
disastrous. There are hundreds of
Negro physicians as ready now to
serve in Alabama as they were ready
to see service and to risk their dives
IN Europe. 1t is being published, too
that there is dearth OF Negro ply
sicians.

PLAYING IT SQUARE

Oh, life is a game that we all
must play and play it the best we
can; we should meet the troubles
that come our way with a heart
that tells the man. We should not
cheat and we should not howl if
somebody spills the play; and from
our lips there should come no growl
if we do not win each day. Life
isn't all in the winning mate, tho
winning is sweet know; you'd better
lose by shooting straight than to win
by a crooked throw. When the sun
goes down at eventide and the work
of the day is done, and you cross
right over the great divide-for your
earthly race is run-you'll not be
queried about your wins nor the
prizes you copied on earth; such
things won't equal row of pins,
you'll be valued at what you're
worth. If you crooked and cheated
your way along and won by some
shady plays, the books will show up
your balance wrong and you'll herd
with the mournful jays. But
you'll get your crown if you played
it square-tho you lost in many a
fight-it isn't the winning but fight
ing fair that viii win you halo
bright.
