The Negro in Politics

A negro, Harry Smith, is run
ming for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor of Ohio.
Another negro is running for
Lieutenant Governor of a far
Western State. In New York
State still another negro is &C
lively campaigning for a seat in
Congress. Georgia Republicans,
white and black, must bend the
knee at their pie counter
to a negro man and a negro
woman, the national commit
teeman and committeewoman
Of the Empire State.
Republican success at the
polls means more negroes lift
ed to political high places. The
South is and always will be able
to take care of itself, but all this
sort Of thing is unfair to the ne
gro.
From day to day his political
aspirations become higher and
more acute. He is demanding
absolute political equality, some
thing that never has been and
never will be his. The black
man 5 newspapers are filled with
such expressions as this:
"America cannot be a democ-
racy until all of these 10 million
people think it as fair for a black
man or a black woman to hold
any office, from the presidency
of the United States down to the
pettiest position in our tiniest
hamlet, as it is for the
best Anglo-Saxon in the world"
The miserable duplicity of the
Republican party is shameful

OR WORSE

If the Georgia Legislature sees
fit to pass a law providing that
no institution of learning re-
ceiving financial aid from the
state shall teach evolution, either
as a theory or a fact, of course, it
has the right to do so. 1t would be
ridiculous, to be sure; but there is
no Constitutional guarantee
against the Legislature making it.

4 Deep Plunge Into
Economies

What counts IS not the num-
Der of dollars you are paid, but
what your dollar will buy. If
eggs sold for a cent dozen,
and other commodities similar
ly low, most Of us would work
for dime a day.
Your pocketbook's contents
fool you more than you imagine.
To realize this fully, we must
take a deep plunge into eco
Monies. So, taking a deep
breath, let's go.
The electrical industry is
pleased as Punch because it ex-
ported 20 million dollars worth
of machinery and apparatus
from the United States last year,
compared with only Is million
dollars worth in 1914.
On the surface this looks as
if exports are nearly three times
as much as before the war.
But the gain is largely a hoax,
for this reason; Everything
costs more than it did in pre-
war days. A dollar now buys
less than it used to. IF we meas
ure gains in dollars, there
fore, we're apt to get fooled
because the buying power of
the dollar has shrunk.
Reduce electrical exports
or any other activity of Ameri-
can business-to terms Of pre-
war buying power-and the &C
tual physical amount hash t
gained much. It's a price hoax.
Another case is foreign trade.
We didn't build up a big foreign
trade during the war. We Just
kidded ourselves into believing
we did.
The financial figures, repre-
senting the total of our exports,
certainly did move ahead by
leaps and bounds. But this was
just because prices were high
er. If you measured our export
trade in physical units (bush-
els, bales, tons, etc. the situa-
ton was this; During the war
and the boom that followed, ex-
ports PHYSICALLY nevcc av-
eTaged higher than 10 per cent
more than before the war.
The most important things oil
lite are SO obvious hat few PEG
pie see them. There's an old
saying, that fishing is ALWAYS
better FIVE miles farther on. An.
other old saying, about not be
ing able to see a mountain il
you're too close to it.
1t is perilous for people to ig.
more these truths. Take a dol
lar out of your pocnet. 1t is still
a dollar, but it buys no more
than half, at most, of what il
bought before the war. We still
call it a dollar, though we shoulc
by all rules Of common sens,
call it SO cents or less.
But there's another side t.
this question, too. That dolla
that's worth only 50 cents to
day if SAVED will buy twice a
much a few years from now -
provided, of course, we slip bacl
to the so-called pre-war level
Nor is that all, either. Place
that SAVED dollar in the banl
at compound interest and wher
you are ready to invest you'll
find that dollar has been work
ing and accommodating for you
So after all, it's the dollar
saved or wisely invested tha
counts in Lies race toward ole
age.

BETTER

Times are improving elsewhere
than on the farms, though soaring
grain prices have been getting most
of the attention-quite naturally,
since the average man has gotten
accustomed to regard rising prices
as the sure sign of prosperity's ap-
proach. GAS soon as times get good,
they" get ready to take our money
from US. The more we get, the more
we have to pay.)
Railroad freight traffic continues
climbing steadily. If the upward
movement isn't checked, another
month viii find the roads moving as
much freight as year ago when
times were booming. This either re.
fleets confidence in the outcome of
the presidential election-or indif-

Senator Reed of Missouri makes

'goose-step' day program. lie
ridicules all pacifists.
Since when did Senator Reeds
voice turn to the side of war?
He did not even want defense
when the country was going to
war against a foreign power, He
was a pacifist at that critical
time and, as everybody remem-
bers, gave the Wilson administra-
ton great trouble. He was
thoroughly set against the con-
duct of the war.

EVERYBODY SHOULD VOTE

Some magazines like Golfers and The Homiletic Review and
some organizations, are making an earnest effort to stimulate
interest in the exercise of the suffrage.
According to some careful observers there is a gradual lessen
ing of the sense of civic responsibility that augurs ill for the
republic.
Golfers states editOriany:
SIN each national election since 1896 the proportion of voters
has dwindled. In 1896, 80 per cent O. those qualified to vote did
vote; in 1900, 70 per cent; in 1908, &c per cent; in 1912, 62 per
cent; in 1920, less than so per cent. Four years ago 54,421 1892
Americans could have voted, but only 1916, 753 did so.
"Such is the descending curve of American democracy. I'm
scrupulous politicians get where they want by herding their masses
of unthinking voters to the polls. Isn't it time more thinking
voters were heard from?
Instead of being a parlor patriot, a rockingham Paul
Revere, let each American prove his right to citizenship"
The following pledge which each citizen makes to himself and
fulfills as a matter of personal honor and selfrespect is suggested
pledge myself to vote at the coming election. But l can't
vote if | don't register. Therefore, I pledge myself to register
and to make that registration good with my vote
There is no doubt that the ~wel-being of the nation is de-
pendent wholly upon enlightened, conscientious citizenship, and
the recognition of the duty of registration and voting is the first
step in good citizenship.

OHIO LABOR LAW
 POINTED OUT AS MODEL FOR STATE

Miss Mary C. Welles, general secre tary of the Consumers league of Conn ecticut has issued the following state ment on the education of children in this state.
 Very significant is the statement of Governor Vic Donahey of Ohio in his proclamation of Child Labor Week, is sued last January: He says: Ohio is proud of its child labor laws and its compu1sorys chool attendance laws. They are the result of a social con sciousness that the success of our de- mocracy depends upon the fitness of the individual, because i'll our country each individual is an active member of the government The excellence of our nation can rise no higher than the social and economic standards of its component units. After we i'll our state protect our own children we do not want to be confronted with the prob lem of dealing with the unit that mi grate to Ohio from other states where there is lack of proper legislation 
 Ohio requires every child to attend school up to the age of 10 years, with no exceptions, and makes provision for the special groups of children affected by this regulation. It requires children who have not completed the seventh grade by the time they are 1o years of age to attend school up to the age of IS years, unless they are mentally incapable of doing the work or their earnings are needed at home
 The success and popularity of this law IS attested by the fact that a spe- cia1 report on Child Labor week was sponsored by the business men of Co., lumbus under Joseph C. Goodman as chairman.
 Has Connecticut no pride that we are willing to have our half-educated children move into surrounding states with higher requirements than our own to be regarded as a nuisance and a menace? Or are we so niggardly as to be unwilling to admit that ex- periments tried out in other states have proved successful?
