THE THREE LEADERS

The three central figures in the
political arena of national po!l>lcs,
so far as the Republican Parry Is
concerned. are Benjamin }. DAVIS
Republican National Committeeman
from Georgia; Perry W. Howard,
Assistant U. S. Acknowledgement
and Republican National Cemml;tee-
man from Mississippi, and ~R97ert
r. Church, the Republican leader
of Tennessee. As we see 1t. 1nese
three men hold the future political
recognition of the "brotheY IN
black" in the hollow of their hands,
so far as the recognition LOT
nolitical office by the future he
nnblican administration is con-
cerned. This is, of course pre-
dictated upon the defeat OF the
Democratic candidate for President
It is essentially necessary, though
that there be teamwork on the part
Of these astute politicians anu
statesmen. "Bob" Church is mas
fer at the game and he knows when
"Slence is golden" The same may
he said of Perry W: Howard, but as
TO ssBen" Davis, he can stand just
so much prodding and if goaded TOO
much and too often is liable 10
'throw discretion to the WINDS
He loves a fight, like war-horse
does a battle and he is at his best
in the midst of strife.
Standing easily in the forefront
of the ablest, best and most hyp-
nothing orators in this country TO-
day, he is as dangerous to his friends
ar times as he is irresistible IN a
fight with his enemies. 1t may De
we'll to state that if he is allowed
TO plead his own case, he Will al
most inevitably win it. He is a
born leader of men and in this
respect greatly resembles Henry
Lixcoln Johnson, who was as dis
Greet as he was able. Still, great
change has recently come over this
Henry of Navarro" of Georgia,
and we have been led to wonder
if this brilliant Southerner has not
been subjecting himself to a train
ing in self-restraint, which may lead
TO his elevation to the pinnacle pre-
Tously occupied by some Of the
leading statesmen in this country.
Davis, Church, Howard. These
are the names with which to bring
success. This combine will secure
for the citizens of color many, if
not all, of the official recognition
previously bestowed upon our race,
if they sing the same song together
and unite in making the same de-
mands.-Selah.

SENATOR REEDS GREAT ORA

"a man is strictly and properly
inconsistent, whose opinions and
practices are at any one time at var
lance with each other; in short, who
holds at once proposition and it's
contradictory, that is-who incurs a
great expense in feasting or equip
age with a view to the display Of
carelessness about money, yet ex-
poses himself to ridicule through
sSinginess in the conduct of those
very things; who censures and abhors

ve$1ed religion, yet acts as II It were

zen of America to be placed on &C
count of his religion under the pan.
Impair that doctrine to the slight
est degree and you tear from ths
temple of liberty its central sup
porting pillar.
tOf almost Equal Importance
indeed, interlocked in principle Win
the foregoing-is the doctrine o.
liberty of speech, Of the press, and
the right of peaceable assemblage:
mo careful student of the events
of modern years can fail TO recognize
that at times of passion and preju'
dice these great constitutional rights
have at times almost vanished In
thin air.
1--WE have at times very nearly &C.
cepted Inc doctrine that fhe right OF
free speech is to be construed as the
right 10 speak only that which is
popular at the hour. And, yet, every
person who reasons must know tina!
such a construction destroys entirely
the doctrine of free speech, for Shere
is no necessity Of protecting man
in his right to utter that which
jumps with the majority opinion OF
The hour" MM
These declarations are as true as
Holy Writ. But Senator Reed did
.ot go far enough, although he COW
cred the ground as far as he went.
Why did he not say: "To all men
&c ell creeds, Of all races of all
color3 in this country exact, equality
i to be accorded and neither in
private life nor in public office is
the free citizen of America to be
paced on account of his religion,
race or color under the ban!" he
would then have assembled into the
upper atmosphere of the highest
craftsmanship and stood on the
pedestal of the greatest philosophers
of other days. There may be
reason for this, in that none OF
these expounders of eternal prin-
ciples were candidates for presi-
Dental office as Senator Reed now
seems to be. ,-5
This distinguished American ex-
pounds another great fundamental
right when he says
"The man with an enormous Tor
tune and the man possessing bat
few dollars are entitled TO exact and
equal protection before the law and
under the law.
But why discuss Senator James
A. Reed further? His words, SO
far as he utters them are all right.
His actions so far as he practices
them are all wrong. The statesman,
who voted to put man out OF the
United States Senate before he had
gotten into that body, or who
barred him from legal hearing as
provided in the Constitution of the
United States, when this man held
the senatorial warrant from
sovereign State designating him as
its representative is hardly quail
fed, justified or entitled to dis
course upon the sovereign rights OF
States and to lead the crusade for
the full recognition of them.
A member o. a lynching party
might as we'll argue in favor OF the
majesty and the observance of the
law.
"There is no favourite child OF
nature, who may hold the fire-ball
in the hollow of his hand and trifle
with it without being burnt; there
is no selected child of grace. who
can live an irregular life without
unrest; or be proud, and at the
same time have peace; or indolent,
and receive fresh inspiration; or
remain unloving and colo, and yet
see and hear and feel the things
which God hath prepared for them
that love him" -F. W, Robertson.

distinguished statesman at the Jack

-. 1928, in Washington, D. c. We
have read with interest and admira-
ton this remarkable deliverance,
which bears the ear-marks Of true,
ringing, highly idealistic statesman
ship in every line.
We felt like throwing our hat in
the air and yelling for the brilliant
Missourian who delivered it, until
we remembered the recent record
in the United States Senate of this
truly remarkable man, when it came
to individual liberty and States
sovereignty. He was as ruthless in
dealing with the rich man, for
whom he in measure pleads as he
has been all of his life in his atti-
tude towards the colored one, who
has for centuries constituted the
2,'bone and sinew of this South
land of ours in particular and the
country at large in general.
He said:
"The principles of justice, like
the rules of mathematics, live thru
the ages. They belong to the etern-
ity". ~

The Negro is a citizen. Why not
under your oath of office stand up to
protect his liberties along with that
of the white man? But this master
of oratory, this peerless expounder
of fundamental constitutional prin-
ciples has this to say
AT the very head and front /

of conscience not in the narrow sense
that a man may worship without
punishment by the authorities but In
broad implication that no man Is
