SENATOR STIRS
RACE HATRED IN
SENATE SPEECH
Fear Negro Influence in
World Affairs

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10-Con-
siderable dicussion has been aroused
thru the Negro press over the speech
of Senator Blease of South Carolina
in the senate last week, exposing all
the hatred and venom Of racial pre-
JUDGE to such an extent that even
the senator's colleagues refrained
from comment or applause.
In his argument against the world
court, Senator Blease, who owes his
election only to the corrupt disfran-
chisement Of the Negro voters in his
state, did not show up the world court
as only another measure to facilitate
the robbery and exploitation of world
labor. He based his objection only on
the grounds of the presence of the
Negro in its organization.
stirsi Race Prejudice.
Il notice that Haiti has a voice in
the election of judges declared the
senator appealing to the prejudice of
the senators from the south.
Il call attention to the senators
from the south, while they are voting
on this reservation, to the fact that
we are voting for a court where we
are to sit by side with a full-blooded
Niger who has as much right as
we have in the election of the judges
of this court. l ask them if they real
lie the fact that there may be, and
very probably will be, a representa-
tive of Haiti as a judge on this court,
SO that the southern senator's are vot-
ing to throw the destinies of south
ern women and southern men into the
laps of black men? Haiti has Joined
the league of nations and has rep
preventative in the assembly of the
league who will vote for the judges of
the court.
Fears Negro Influence.
$50 has Liberia, as my friend from
Missouri (Senator Reed suggests.
Haiti being a member Of the league,
while America is not member of
the league, would, in all probability,
have more power in one sense than
the American nation"
Concerned more with his filthy at
tack on the Negro than in his argu-
ment on the merits or demerits of the
world court, the senator continued:
why is the United States of Anne
RIGA to have one Judge to sit on this
court, when niger can, at any
time, cast his ballot in opposition to
that vote and negative it? Why
should not my state of South Carolina
have equal vote with a niger repub-
lican government as to who shall sit
upon that court? Why should not
the states Of Georgia, North Carolina,
Mississippi or any other state, or
especially the great states of New
York and Illinois and Pennsylvania
have a right to say who shall be
judges of that court, as much as you
give that right to a niger republic ?"
Harangue Dumfounds Senators.
This harangue of Senator Blease
dumfounded even the most bitter foes
of the Negro worker in the senate,
who are usually careful not to expose
their own feelings on this subject so
openly and showed fully how much the
Negro worker can expect from their
supposed representatives In the
leading governmental body.

We may be misjudging the peacock
and rooster when we call them vain
birds. For DR.. 81. Erhard of Munich,
who has been experimenting with the
eyesight of birds, says that the SHIN
mering colors in plumage probably
mean nothing to the feathered crea.
lures. At least they do not appre-
ciate colors as we do, If, indeed, they
even distinguish one color from an
other.
Birds that fly by day, Doctor Err
hard says, see everything in a bright
red-orange light, being very slightly
sensitive to the short waves that make
up blue and violet. Night birds, on
the ether hand, never see red, but do
see blues and violet. Tiny globules
of oil in the retina Of the eyes act as
color screens and determine the birds

the following letter:
81 am perfectly willing to let the
bill out of committee and vote ia
vorably on the same as l have told
your Mr.. Nutter, but I cannot get
two other members of my committee
to sign it out. If the colored citi-

Flight" by Walter f. White.
Published by Alfred A. Knopf, 730
Fifth Avenue, New York.
Announcement.
March 26, Flight" the second
novel of Walter F. White, will be
published. According to a state
ment from the publisher, it is one of
the most important books upon the
spring list and gives every evidence
that it will be one of the most sig
nificant novels to appear this year.
The heroine of Mr.. Whites story
is highly cultured girl of Creole
descent who, through series of I'M
fortunate experiences, is forced to
leave her own race and Ego white"
After some years in Fifth Avenue
modiste's shop, she achieves great
success in business and later makes
brilliant marriage. Nevertheless,
she has vague warnings for the life
she has deserted, and in a sudden
perception of her real destiny, she
leaves her husband and the white
world and returns to her own people.
This is not a propagandist novel,
but a truthful and immensely sig
nificant study of Negro life in Amer
lea. The action takes place in the
Negro sections of New Orleans, At
lanta, Philadelphia and New York,
so that the picture presented is
comprehensive one.

Whites first novel, "The Fire in the

ECHO BASEBALL TEAM
BY Johnny Walton

There has been an exchange of
correspondence through the safety
valve column of the Echo between
an Echo booster and Mr.. Cyrus L.
Lewis, general manager of the col
ored weekly.
The boosters" letter was in form
of suggestion that baseball team
be organized as representative and
progressive feature to stimulate more
interest in athletic sports among our
people. 1t was also suggested that
such team be managed by the Echo
staff, which may be considered quite
logical, and was commented on with
favor by Mr.. Lewis, who also men
toned several errors made by man
ayers of teams of the past few years
which may be the making of good
team, as it is a proven fact that no
organization can succeed without
mental power of good management.
In another point of criticism he
mentioned the lack of interest of the
colored public. To this we may say
it is like anything else; it must be
cultivated, and this responsibility
falls upon the colored newspapers.
We must partly blame our local pa
pers of the past for their failure to
develop the proper interest in
athletics among our children, as it
does, without question, play an es-
sential part in the growth, health and
clean mental development of better
men and women.
The public can be sure that this
paper will do it's part to bring about
some results in this respect if it can
depend upon the cooperation of it's
people.
Baseball time is near at hand and
a hasty decision is necessary in Or
der to perfect plans and condition
men for the opening of the baseball
season.
