(Lincoln News Service)

Washington, April l, 1924.-Chair-
man John I. Adams of the Republican
national committee has made an ap-
peal for fuller participation of voters
in party activities. In a current
statement, he says: American citi-
zens are responsible for the character
of their government, whether it be
federal, state or local. Our public Of
ficials are nominated and elected by
the people. 1t should be kept in mind
that the work of getting good public
officials is not all done on election
day. 1t begins in the party primaries
and conventions. This preliminary
work for the coming presidential cleo
ton is now well under way. In many
states the dates of the primaries and
conventions for selection of candi-
dates have been set.
1T is the duty of every good citizen
who wishes good government to be-
long to~a party and to participate in
his party primaries. 1t is his duty to
see that the candidates nominated are
party men who represent the party
principles and who are pledged to
support its policies and cooperate
with it's organization. Only in this
manner can we have responsible party
government, which is the most sue
cessful form of representative govern
ment yet devised.
During the last few years." Chair
man Adams goes on to say, there has
been a great deal of propaganda de-
crying party activity. There has been
an attempt to make virtue of So
called non-partisanship. Instead Of
non-partisanship being virtue, it is
Il menace 1t tends to break down

of the hour is not for less party ac-
tivity, but for more of it. The UNDER
wing cause of most political evils to-
day is the Indifference of our citizens
to their right of suffrage. Even the

keep quiet for a minute, the public
spirited colored residents of this city
would like to rise as one and comment
on the query as to whether the Negro
as a race is Tearing, or has learned, to
look after his own-to give, even to
the danger point, in support of worthy
institutions dedicated to his benef1t.
st. Louis wants to get a word in be-
fore a final vote is taken.
This city believes the world may
have heard in an off-hand way of how
it's Negroes rallied and subscribed
100000 toward the $4,000 building
for the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation up on Pine street. But the town
is fearful that outsiders will think
that grand work was drowning-man
effort, the last, fatal tug.
IFS citizens are now offering for
consideration and comment (and for
emulation by other Negro commum-
ties) another 100000 subscription they
have made toward the establishment
of the Colored Orphans Home. Sixty
thousand dollars were subscribed IN
seven-day drive and over $3S,OOO have
been paid in already The public spirit
of colored residents of st. LOUIS mas
thus made possible an institution val
ned at $1,000 designed to fill a char
liable purpose, the taking care OIL the
orphans of this city and vicinity.
