A MAJORS PROTEST WINS.

Major West A. Hamilton, Commander
of James E. Walker Post of the American
Legion, Ex-world War Veteran, and use
full citizen extraordinary, has put genuine
leadership into his organization, which, by
cohesion, ethical protest, and sustained effort
has been instrumental in having segregating
tablets in the office of the Register Of the
Treasury replaced by scroll which sets forth
the names Of its heroic defenders of Amer
lean liberty. white and black, alphabetically
instead Of segegahonaIy.
President Coolidge. gracefully and SIN
cerey. gave sympathetic attention to the
Legion's protest, which he referred to the
Secretary Of the Treasury, who, in turn. took
the matter up with the office Of the Register,
with Inc above-noted result; but the fact re-
mains that the veteran Major Hamilton
guided his organization in such way that
its protest was made ethically; it was re-
ceived in the same spirit; and its form and
substance were So nearly perfect that favor
able action was promptly forthcoming.
In its infancy, the American Legion, as
a whole, was viewed with some degree OF
doubt. This was because at the outset there
was question as to what share the colored
bows would have in its programs. One OF
the ways to help others is to help yourself;
and this is what Major Hamilton and his
associates have been doing, so far as James
E. Walker Post in concerned.
Here is lesson in leadership and in or
sanization, which, when honest and sincere,
and in closed rank, can perform wonders.
Quiet, concentrated effort is always to be
preferred to the hue and cry system OF
RICH ing wrongs. Every colored Legion post
VIII, for many years, have duties to perform
which besides being curative Of ills. will offer
the opportunity for cohesive cooperation.
One blow thus struck is worth dozen

CHEER UP
1T NIGHT BE WORSE.

That the BROTHER is better off than
the Jew, So far as racial antipathies in Amer
ca are concerned, is strongly commended by
William T. Ellis, in his International Sunday
School Lesson for November 80, 1924.
Says the Sunday School teacher:
: ''None of the racial and religious anti
pathies which mar our present-day life are
comparable in bitterness with the animosity
which the Jew of our Lords day felt for
his half brother, the Samaritan. who had
iintermarried with the heather. The simplest
statement Of this chasm is the Gospel record,
Now the Jews have no dealings with the
Samaritans'. Yet here was the daring Jesus
holding up a Samaritan to an audience of
Jews as The model neighbor".
The learned Sunday School information
alist continues. however, by saying:
Our current cult of the 'Nordic' is mostly
ignorance and insular Jesus was not Nor
die; neither were most Of the other great
teachers and leaders Of mankind. Before
we can revert to Nordic Phansaism we shall
have to dispense with thai non-Nordic book,
the Bible, and its lesson Of the Good Sa-
marian. Most Of us are lodging the race
question, which is today possibly the worlds
greatest problem. Some are merely senti-
mentalizing about it. and contributing to its
difficulties by ill-advised zeal for other races
than their own. We have long. hard road
