"what shall I do to be saved7" 1--WE
will fight It out along this line If 1t
takes all summer" and 1--WE don't
know where we're going but we're on
our way" are themes of some Of the
discoarses going on in this garden
spot Of the world.
The Democrats have been consider
Ing the idea. according to grapevine
chatter, of endorsing President Hard
ing for another term, because they
have demonstrated. through the Anti
lynching bill and the ship subsidy
bill, how the minority can run the
country.
In fact, the Democrats have few
kicks coming about the consideration
that has been given them from the
present administration. Republican
though 1t be. Thousands of Wilson
Democrats still hold Office, and, as in
some notable cases. some Democrats
have been appointed to ofice by
President Harding.
Some one has suggested that the
Democrats adopt as their national
song for the present administration:
"He may be your man, but he comes
to see me sometimes" And the walls
of anguish continue to rise and lily
from the throats of the hungry and
thirsty Office seekers, they who are
expected to stand on the stump In
the year of 1924-the year Of jubilee
and sing forth the praises Of the
G. o. p.
National Conference.
Colored America is both up in arms
and very much at sea- On all sides
there is being suggested and prosed a
national conference. For what? To
talk things over. Things are In such
a state that the folks have just got
to talk and get the burden of their
chest or bust.
Dean Kelly Miller of Howard UNI
versity has created considerable COM
ment through the newspapers and
otherwise by his proposal Of a get
together conference. The newspapers
such as the Pittsburgh Courier, st.
Louis Argus, Atlanta Independent,
and others, think the idea timely;
Some group to take the initiative,
seems to be the vital lack now.
It is known that the Lincoln Lea
que, sponsored by R. R. Church, OF
Memphis, aided and urged on, from
time to time, by Roscoe Simmons,
Perry Howard, Henry Ancoln john
son, ct al, proposes grand session
in Chicago some time in late summer.
The last session was held in Chicago
in February 1921, and why the pro-
posal for q summer session has not
been, learned.
From authoritative sources It is
learned that the proposal to have q
heart to heart talk with persons from
the Middle West States, Illinois. Iowa,
Missouri, Michigan. Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, Ohio. Minnesota and Nebraska,
has practically reached the invita-
tional stage. It is stated that there
is no desire to outdo, overcome or de-
throne anyone. but that there Is cer-
tain matters in these vital voting
states. with emphasis on the voting,
that our people themselves should
consider and act upon definitely,
without outside interference. And
upon this basis a few people are to be
called together to consider political
and economic subjects. Among other
