Cleveland, June "a letter from
the grave suddenly upset the plans
Of Republican party managers for
cleaning up the long standing fac
,ional fight IN Georgia, and resulted
in the seating again of delegates
headed by Henry Lincoln Johnson,
he negro national committeeman
rom that state, long a stormy petrol
before national conventions.
Just as most Of the old line party
managers on the committee had de
,ided that Johnson and his delegates
aust go to make peace for tho rep
resenting the faction formerly head
I'd by j. l.. Phillips, which had been
recognized by officials of the nation
III committee as representing the
regular organization in the state, a
letter was produced, written by
President Harding to c. Bhscom
Slemp, now secretary to President
Coolidge, saying that in recognizing
the Phillips faction a blunder had
been made. and suggesting that ac-
tion be taken to alter the situation.
Negro Presents Own Case
The Georgia contest, which occu
pied practically all of the session,
vas the only enlivening feature of
he pre- convention period. The
session was alternately noisy bitter,
pathetic and funny.
Johnson had charge of the prssen-
cation of his own case and for nearly
an hour he paced back and forth in
front of the committee members,
combining argument with appeals for
consideration for the people of his
race and frequently was subjected to
II running cross-fire of questions
from committeeman.
The negro committeeman engaged
in sharp exchanges with members OF
the contrasting delegation, in which
personalities figured on severa
occasions. There were frequen
bursts of applause from spectators
members of the committee joined
Harding Letter Trump Card
Charles b. Hilles, committeeman
from New York, practically forced
the production of the Harding let
ter. 1t was Il trump card for John
son and the committee voted, % tt
Ii. to seat his delegates. A substi
tute motion offered by J. B. Healing
committeeman from Indiana, to sea-
the contesting delegation was reject
ed by the same vote. Then the com.
mittee made the vote to seat John
sons delegates unanimous.
Members from four southern
states voted for the Phillips dele
cation. while those from seven other
states voted to seat the johnson
delegates.
Minnesota, South Dakota and Wis
consin voted to seat the Phillip!
delegates and North Dakota voted
to seat the Johnson delegates.

When the kidneys are in need Of a

diuretic stimulant for the kidneys.
They promptly and effectively flush
the kidneys, increase their activity
and bring pleasant relief. Landon

II can truthfully say that FOLEY
PILLS are the best ever. used:

WILSON'S HOLD ON YOUTH

WILSON'S HOLD ON YOUTH
Our attention has been called
to the interesting and hopeful
fact that the speeches of high
school boys are simply saturated
with the idealism of Woodrow
Wilson. In a recent oratoricai
contest at Birmingham, Ala, it
was reported that every one OF
the students voiced in some way
the hope that the world would be
federated after the model of the
American federation of State. It
is also a noticeable fact that the
teachers of youth are enthusiastic
admirers of Mr.. Wilson. Being a
teacher himself, not only in a uni
versal sense but in the larger and
the most inspiring human sense,
Mr.. Wilson has made an appeal
to students and teachers that has
not been equalled by any other
public man since Lincoln, and
Mr. Wilson's appeal is more uni
versal than any other of the
worlds teacher-statesmen.
1t is safe to predict that what
the teachers and youths are
thinking about today, the world
will be doing tomorrow. 1t takes
only about twenty years to change
the ideals and efforts Of the race.
1t is certainly hopeful that the
things the world is in such great
need of are popular with the
teachers and the students, not
only of America but of all for
ward-looking countries.
What all the countries have to
learn is that each of the nation,
is a part Of one humanity.-Ma,
con Telegraph,

The open-shop campaign has hit
the organized labor movement a Sc
we're blow. In 1920 the American
Federation of Labor had member
ship of 4,O78,740. 1t lost 100000
members in 1922 and 269,167 last
year. These are the figures Of the
Labor Research Department of the
Rand School, friendly to labor.
The drop in membership is sur
prising for last year, which was a
widespread period of shortage Of
skilled labor.
Meantime, capitalistic organize
tons have gained power instead of
lost. They are wise enoguh to re-
cognize the power of organization.
And they stick to it through thick
and thin.
.VICTORS
Organized labor last year won
more disputes than employers, for
the first time since 1916, the Rand
School reports.
Over a period Of two and half
years 692 disputes were won by
labor, 1895 by employers and 500
were compromised.
1t is not many years since en-
ployers won all disputes except in
the rare occasions when they mas
concessions out of goodness of
their hearts" The tide is turnirgI
since labor copied capital by organ,
izing.
We wonder how many disputes
were lost by that great third party,
the unorganized public.
SAVAGE
The big game hunter, Carl AXE
ley, says: Cone of my native boys
speared young gorilla. / came to
it as it lay dying. It's mother was
already dead When it saw me, it
stretched out its infant arms in ap-
peal and cried when I touched it."
Some people call this sort of thing
sport.
VALUE
A document bearing the sigma
ture of George Washington and his
wife is sold at auction for 1925. |
Most of US would sign our name
10000 or more times for that much
money.
The big price, however, was paid
far RARITY rather than because of
the Washington signatures. I'll
George and Martha had left a mil
lion signed papers they'd be worth
less than a dollar apiece. That's
why collectors pay fabulous sums
for scarce coins of modern times,
while coins minted 2400 years ago
and still existing in great quantities
are worth next to nothing.
