interest in connection with the hopes. desires,
md rights Of America Negro population. The
thoughtful organizer did not neglect to give
attention to Liberia, which has long since
needed satesmanlike and financial assistance
from The American Government. And, the adj
vocacy of an actual sharing in the credits Of
Tie Farm Loan Board emphasizes crying
need on the part Of the struggling Negro farm
ers of America.
The only thing the organizer did not include
ii his program, which we think he might well
have included, is warning to the American
Government to beware of alien organizations
and advocates who, under the guise of up
..iif,ers and proponents Of Negro welfare. seek
to entice black America to migrate to Africa
or otherwise to a peace-at-any-pnce" policy.
Mr. Matthews program calls for strong
coalition Of our leadership. 1t calls for the
scrapping' Of personal interests and the build
ing up Of the same movement within our own
ranks that has made the American pioneer a
historic celebrity.
There is no reason why the program cannot
be consummated. There is every reason why
it should be made reality. The time for in
terracial chickering's is past. The time for gen.
uiine frankness and the thoughtful consideration
Of really improving America for all the people
is at hand. MIR. Matthews program puts that
proposition squarely up to the country. and to
the effort We volunteer our humble services.

diplomacy arise, to representation on the Rail

REVIEW

ITO the Editor of The Planet:
Dear Sir:-The political Dattle
of 1924 is now over and the VICTORY
is where the writer would have 1t
to be. Those gentlemen and ladies'
of the colored race who advocated
and voted for the success Of the Dem
ocratic Party are now left to medi-
tate over the waste Of speech and the
loss Of time In the great campaign
lust closed, the writer observed that
there was no breach of concord in
the main ranks of the Republican
Party. - =.
When that is fact, with a united
effort on part of the whole party,
they are sure of success at the pallot
box. 1t is, as you know, Impossible
toy nominate man to be president
pleasing to every one. Hence, there
fore. the Democrats had much fault
to find with Mr. Coolidge, partlcu-
1arly his silence. But now 1T is
proved by his unparalleled maJorly
that he was stronger in silence than
they who made great eloquent
speeches.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE TO
EMMETT J. SCOTT

MY dear DR.. Scott: My thanks are due
to you not only for this splendid message Of
generalization, but for the part you have had
IL making the great victory possible. My
acknowledgment would not be complete if |
should omit assurance Of my desire to render
Ii. sort Of service that will justify your gener-
Gus judgment.
Thus wired the Nations chief executive to
Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary Treasurer of
Howard University, and member of dhe Adj
yisory Committee of the Republican Campaign
in answer to telegram of congratulations sent
forward by Dr. Scott, which had as its keynote
the acknowledgment Of America Negro pop
ulation Of the Presidents eager willingness to
defend the consitutionally guaranteed rights of
all citizens Of the Republic, without regard to
race, creed, or color"
The Presidents reply is full of nutriment.
Nor does he stop with the expression of his
desire to render service. He acknowledges
valuable assistance and pledges himself to JUS
tify the high regard in which he is held by the
Negroes Of this country.
Reading between the lines, we are
sure we see an era Of indispensable execu-
tive justice in the White House. We feel that
the Constitution is resting more safely than ever
before in the hands of reverent officials of our
Government. We are confident thas cross
currents will not be permitted to disturb the
sea of equanimity in America. We believe
that the wrongs will be rghted, and we rejoice
with DR.. Scott in such frank and far-reaching
pledge as he received from the victorious can
didage. Our leadership is safe and our des-
TIMES call for high degree of optimism.

FORGETTING THE MARINE.

"Over There and 'Over Here, as SYM
tolized by the Amistce Day hopes and de-
sres Of celebrants in the office of the Register
of the Treasury, are VIGOROUSLY incompatible,
when applied to memorial purportng to pay
a tribute to five dead soldiers who had given
their last full measure of devotion on the Mame

seems that among the five deceased Americans
there were two noble sons Of Africa, whom the
office of the Register Of the Treasury had
yielded up to the German hosts of battle. On
Armistice Day, however. when tablet was to
be tearfu}ly unveiled as silent ode to the he
roes whose bones are bleaching somewhere in
France, the unwilling ceremony revealed two
tablets, upon one Of which were artishcally IN
scribed the names of the white soldiers, while
a separate tablet had been geographically hon
ored with inscriptions Of the names of the black
patriots.
Their blood flowed together down the

before German bullets tore the bodies from the
souls Of the valiants over there" they had

But those who remain are unwilling to see

a deck which has In it the most darksome jo-
ker'' ever dealt. 1t is shame shat they should
thus continue to cheat their souls out OF the es-
sencc of true American PATRIOTISM which, to
them, seems to be locked up in a marble vault,
to which death is the only combination
The Negro soidery Of America, however,
need nda fear the ultimate outcome OF Their
patriotism through all the wars. Their names
are inscribed more deeply elsewhere than they
could ever be inscribed in cold marble lover

Jim" WATERS VS..

Jim" Waters, Secretary of the Howard

and here is proof Of our allegation. "Jim",
who is lawyer of extraordinary ability, is
going up against the Pullman Company in Et-
igation which will determine whether or not
the surcharge imposed by the wealthy car COM
pany for Pullman accommodations is legally
applicable to weary travellers. Jim started his
suit in the Municipal Court, which is the court
of lowest jurisdiction in the Districts of Colum-

defendant appealed to the District Court Of
Appeals, from whence the htigants are going
Ito the y. S. Supreme Court Four able white
attorneys have given battle to Jim all along the
way; but that means nothing to the Howard
Professor, who has dug up such an array of
legal precedents that the Bench has taken con-

Some how or other we feel that Jim is going
to win out. Anyhow, he's the most fighting

INDUSTRIAL MENACES

The recent intenacial disorder at Harrods-

was The laying off" of hundreds Of Negro

as in many others, the venom Of turbulent
whites was aimed at innocent Negroes whose
principal aims were to engage in peaceful in
dustrial pursuits, safeguard growing Christian
families, and otherwise to form part and par

Of terrorism is to jeopardize him and those de-

menace to peaceful industry is menace to

he been running for President wnen
he sent his first message to- Congress
viewing the favorable sentiment IL
made he would have carried the
whole country. Many of our we'll
informed colored leaders went over
TO the support of the Democratic
Party. Their reason for so doing
was the non-recognition of the Negro
by the Republicans, when it is in
their power so to do. True, in some
respects. But there was more recog-
milton of the Negro by the Republi
can Party in the years from 1868
to 1913, than there was by the Dem
ocratic Party in the time from 1918
to 1921.
