Klux Khan.
1t must be a poltroon party indeed
that hesitates a single second a.
between government by lawfully con-
stituted authority and through the
forms Of law, and government by
hooded midnight providers. The Khan
pretends to lift its voice in the affairs
Of this government, whose proud
boast has been that il is a government
Of laws and not Of men, yet the ac-
tivities are such that its members must
go masked because they are ashamed
to look each other in the face; and
yet the Republican Convention dared
not even denounce them-as cheap as
words are. How have the mighty
TALENT The party Of Lincoln and
Grant and Roosevelt dares not defy a
band Of midnight assassins.
Indeed the Republican party has
lost its old time appeal to the Negro.
The plank on the Anti-Lynch Law
is a joke. For over six months the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been
pigeon-holed by a committee with a
Republican majority and chairman.
This same measure also failed in the
9th Congress, where the G. o. p. had
a preponderant majority.
The Racial Commission also men

journed calling for the appointment Of
such a commission, were vigorously

The Negro race will find no conso-
lation in the Republican platform, in
its councils, or in its Congress. The
only recognition the race win receive
politically, will be that recognition
which it forces by its votes, which
should be given to parties because Of
their performances, and not because OF
promises--The Washington Tribune.

THE HEAD LEADERS OF THE REPUB-
LICAN PARTY AT THE REPUBLI-
CAN NATIONAL CONVENTION AT
CLEVELAND, OHIO, RAN OUT
FROM UNDER THE COL RED PEG
PIE AND LEFT THEM HANGING
HIGH AND DRY.

The Republican Party Of the U. S.
has rich heritage and a history full
Of achievements that the voters can
not and generally do not seek to ig-
more. None more SO than the Negro,
1t was under its banners that the
mighty host marched to the defense Of
the Union and the liberation Of the
slave.
The Freedman and his descendants
have not forgotten this and have I'M
falteringly stood BY their guns in de-
Tense Of the old party long enough
for their gratitude not to be ques-
toned In the face, Of the broken
promises, hopes deferred, indifference
and open hostility within the party,
they have heretofore turned deaf ears
to all who would have them desert.
They would not forget the rock Of
their salvation.
The matches Frederick Douglass
exclaimed that for him the Republican
Party was the ship and all else the
sea. But patience has long since
ceased to be virtue. The indifference
Of the party when in power has be-
gotten Indifference in the Negro. He
ceases to listen to promises that he
knows are made but to be broken.
But when the ship begins to sink,
every passenger boldly trusts himself
to the waves. He prefers to take his
chances even against the raging sea
than 60 down with sinking ship.
At the close of an administration.
which has become a byword for cor
ruption and graft, the Negro Of the
District of Columbia sees the District
so-called representatives boldly claim
seats in the Republican convention be-
cause Of the money that the organiza-
ton which sent them raised in the
past campaign and will raise in the
oncoming. And their plea avaiIed.
The political philosophy seemed to Be:
we will give you the money, you can
buy the votes" and the committee on
credentials listened to the voice Of
the contributors and paid no heed to
those who claimed to represent the
voters. In the face Of this perfor-
nance can We credit the hypocritical
plank Of the platform that deplores

DEF|ES EVIDENCE,
SAYS MAN HER SON
Mother Refuses to Believe
Finger-Print Proof
Against Convict.
Ry the AssOciafe Press

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, October Icon
fident she will emerge victor from
the conflict between mother love and
merciless science, Mrs. F. w. Ber-
geron of Menasha, Wis, has refused
to accept finger-print evidence in
dicating Robert Il. ST. Clair. Atlanta
Federal prison inmate, is not her son,
Urban John Bergeron, reported killed
during the World War, todays At
lanta Constitution says.
The aged woman declares she will
remain here until prison gates re-
lease the mRn she believes her son,
the newspaper says.
Meanwhile the protecting mantle
of the Red Cross has settled about
the woman who refuses to believe
mother love and instinct at fault.
The Red Cross here took charge of
Mrs. Bergeron upon receipt of a let
ter from the secretary of the Red
Cross chapter at Menasha, who wrote
that she had known Urban John Ber-
seron since his childhood and that
there was no doubt that the body of
war victim buried in the family plot
thnre was his.
st. Clair has served two months of
an 1S-month sentence imposed in
New Orleans after convictions for
transporting stolen automobile
from one State to another. He is said
to be wanted in a number of West
ern cities.
The Constitution quoted Red Cross
officials as saying Mrs. Bergeron had
told them ST. Clair had urged her to
turn all the family property into
cash by the time his term in prison
expired SO she. father and he could
go to the far West and start life
anew.
Prison officials said they had been
informed by Mrs. Bergeron, accord
ing to the Constitution story, that
her husband and daughter were en-
route to Atlanta and that she eX-
pected her daughter to substantiate
her belief that st. Clair was her son.
Mrs. Bergeron came to Atlanta
upon receipt of a mysterious letter
from New Orleans signed Mrs Lu-
ellie Oidhorn,' which requested IN
formation regarding young man
named Urban John" and gave other
details which led Mrs. Bergeron to
believe her son lived. She identified
st. Clair as her son when she reach
Ell here.
The War Department a few days
ago officially declared that the finger
prints of St. Clair did not coincide
with those of the man who enlISte ed
as Urban John Bergeron.

BABY POWDER
ENDORSED BY
MEDICAL men
Unite with Mothers and
Nurses in Claiming Silox
Greatest busting Powder"

II have tried your product and
can recommend no other powder
more highly :. ~ writes one prom
inent physician about Silox, the
most remarkable moisture absor-
bent of the day.
Silox keeps the baby dry, clean
and happy, and saves mother a lot
of fussing. Try it tomorrow morn
ing after baby's bath. Sprinkle
soft, fluffy, soothing, cooling SiloX
over that chubby little body. 1t will
absorb all moisture and leave the
skin silken and dry. No need to
worry about Silox caking as talcum
powder may do. Silox remains
filmy powder even in creases and
dimples. Silox is pure and safe.
Then shake Silox over the diapers
before you pin them up. 1t will
help keep baby dry and comfortable
until changing time again. 1t will
positively eliminate chatting and ir-
ritated skin. If baby is warm and
sticky after a nap, use Silox and
watch him laugh again! Just right
for teething rash or prickly heat.
Mothers tell us that Silox is the
greatest discovery that ever came
into the nursery. It's so different
so much more effective than ord
nary dusting powders. 1t is not
just something new in baby comfort
powders-SiloX is truly great
discovery-the last word in baby
comfort powders.
Silox is a scientific preparation
that grew out of the war when
great scientists were seeking a
preparation to save life and in
crease comfort. Now Silox saves
mother a lot of worry and trouble,
and increases the comfort and
health of the little tots. Silox has
many other uses that will save you
many dollars and many hours of
discomfort. Be sure to read the
booklet that comes with the can.

LONDON, October 1.-THE publica-
ton today of the new voters regis
ter showed large increase in the
number Of woman voters, and spurred
political campaign managers to an
increased effort to round up the
feminine vote. The register indicated
that the number of woman voters
exceeded the male electors in South
Kensington, one of London's fashion
able districts, and in Cheltenham and
Hastings.
Considerable interest has been
aroused by the fact, made known in
an official statement by the Liberal
party, that there are only $50 Liberal
candidates in the field SO far. whereas
there were 454 Liberal candidates in
the last election. The chief Liberal
whip has intimated that this falling
