KANSAS CRIME EXPERT SAYS
NEGROES ARE LAW-ABlDING.

Extracts from a statement made by
c. c. Ellis, Bertillon Superintendent

ment and published in the Wichita
Beacon Sunday Magazine of February
Is. were quoted today by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, 20 Fifth Avenue. New
York, as showing the experts tabula-
ton that fewer Negroes than white
people were arrested for serious crime
Mr.. Ellis figures show that $50 per
sons were arrested during the year for
serious crimes Of, which only 3S were
Negroes. He is quoted as saying:
"Of course we arrest much larger
proportion of Negroes than that, but
most of them are in for petty crimes
which do not warrant making finger
prints and 'mugging' them. You would
be surprised. however, to find how
law abiding the Negroes of the city
really are. Many people think them a
turbulent element AS a matter OF
fact. we do not have as much trouble
with them as with certain classes OF
whites"

PRESIDENT HARDING'S
POSITION.

u seems that Secretary of State
William Fl. Hughes is being guided by
that prince of diplomats and states
men. Hon. Elihu Root of New York
and in turn President Warren G..
Harding is being influenced by both
of them. We take this view OF the sit
i.ation after noting the presidential
letter upon the subject OF the repre-
sentation of this country on the World
Court. under the Jurisdiction of the
league of Nations. II CONS to us that
some Of our Republican statesmen are
shifting their positions in this matter
of pa rticipating in European affairs.
Conditions on the other side are CT
such kind and character that no one
nation could br 1g order out OF con-
fusion although many representatives
Of the United States have been Undue.
ed to believe that this country is all
important in such a settlement We
settled the war but we have left in
it, wake a condition of affairs almost
IS bad as war itself and it is apparent
that conditions are getting worse in
stead of better. 1t seems to us thnt we
should study the question long time.
before we move from our present en-
trenched position.
