O. The United States was appreciated
by Perry W. Towards white col
leagues. who often proudly men
toned him as living example OF
What the much abused Sta'e hae
done for this class aud type OF
Negroes, who knew how to appreciate
Southern rules and ';ustoms and to
accord credit to the liberal-mfnded
wnite elements in this section OF ths
country, who had made such an
achievement possible.
As a result when the carpet
Dagger" Hon. George l.. Sheldon
went up against Perry W. Howard
ard his southern white Republican
friends in the Courts of Mississippl
Howard and his friends won out.
This was later confirmed by the ~
publican National Committee and
later still by the Committee on Cfs'
dentials and finally by the Republic
can National Convention itself. This
would logicallyxhave ended the con-
troversy. But Sheldon was not nat
iofied. He had whispered into the
ear of the distinguished Californian,
Hon. Herbert Hoover and he in turn
left the matter to one of his mana
gers, It being understood that Shell
don was "a friend of the family"
Berry W. Howard was entefed up
on the roster of the Republican M
tional Committee. This gave HIN
control of the campaign IN Missis-

Governor Sheldon, not being able to
win by fair means proceeded to ap-
peal to the court Of unfair means.
Tie blow was aimed, so to speak,
"below the belt". A hasty decision
was not wanted despite the positive
command Of Article vi Of the Con-
situion of the United States.

The defeat of Bates and Carter
was a signal victory for Grand Ex-
allied Ruler Wilson. Ever since his
election in 1922 there has been a
continual fight between Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Bates and Mr.. Carter. At
this session the plea was made for
Grand Lodge officers who would sup
port the policies and program of the
grand exalted ruler.
The first move in the strategy to
beat Bates and Carter came when
George W. Lee on the opening day
of the convention moved that the
rules be suspended and Mr.. Wilson
elected to succeed himself by accla-

THAT PLEA OF INNOCENCE.

"The more you NOW US down, the
more thicklv we grow; the blood OF
Christians Is fresh seed."-Tertuiiian
It has been a common saying among
white southerners that whenever
northerners attempt to deal with
the Negro question in the Southland,
thew almost invariably make a mess
of it. This seems to have been veri'
fed in the case of Hon. george l..
Sheldon, former Governor OF Ne
|braska. who seems to have tired OF
residing within the State, which had
rewarded him with high office, He
preferred to occupy the southern
designation of "carpet.bagger" and
he moved into Perry W. Howard
State Of Mississippi to make trouble
for him and the rest Of tho able col
ored men of that far Southern State.
As a rule, with the exception OF
the poor whites, thousands OF
southerners, who are against tho
Negroes are against the other fel-
lows Negroes and he is 'gloriously"
in favor Of his own Negroes, those,
who possess family ties coming down
tho line from slavery. many Of whom
row trace their lineage to the black
r:ammies of other days and TO the
"big house" Negroes, who werc
buffers, hostlers Wallets and the like.
This class Of southerners have q
bitter antipathy to Negroes from the
North. =:
They dislike that nasal twang and
they despise everything pertaining
20 this class of the brothers in
black who aspire to civil rights and
social privileges. The Hon. George
L. Sheldon evidently did not know
this when he went up against that
Negro Mississippian, who hailed from
the State of Hon. John Sharp Will
Hams and whose appointment as

MODEM DEPORTATION

Modern art and it's sources and
its influences in all phases of mod
ern life from portraits to bathroom
! fixtures is found in the progress of
Z the present age of industry, accord
ing to r. e. T. Half, who finds in
this movement "the expression of
life as it is lived today" Mr.. Half
relates that Lord and Taylor have
completed five rooms in their great
New York store, which has been
designed by their own decorating
staff in the modern spirit. These
are a bedroom, a -dining-room, a
smoking room and two living rooms.
Some of the furniture was imported
but in three of the rooms, the fur
niture was designed by the firm, and
made in New York. RayOn stands
out in this practical display. In the
dining-room, for instance, a beauti-
full room with lemon colored walls
and black and silver furniture, the
chairs are covered with orange fab
ric of which the cleaning threads
leave no doubt of it's origin.
In several of the rooms, the glass
curtains are of what is known as
avon and cotton Rodier Fabrics.
They are hung like this in conjunc-
ton with complete ensemble,
walls, rugs, furniture and Access |
series, and they serve to emphasize !
distinct place in the new
school of the art of home decora-
ton.
And now comes the question
What's to be done about it?' Here,
merchant princes of the world, I
nave made a most successful effort
to show America a comprehensive
outline of this really serious move
ment, and they have brought to-
gether magnificent collection of
beautiful objects. France is by no
means the only nation producing
this new art, but France to- quote
Miss Dorothy Shaver, who selected
he exhibits, has put "a unity of
eHort behind this movement. To
emphasize the work of French ar
lists is sufficiently logical when one
'ealizes the vigor and power behind
he work that is being executed in
france"
The New York merchants believe :
his exhibit will serve to show the
american manufacturers that Am
rlcan people are genuinely inter-
sted in beauty and that there is a
market for fine work only made
ossible by cooperation between
rtist and maker.

Do NOT USE POOR SEED

J The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is constantly urging
the farmers to watch their seeds,
and if anyone will write to the De-
partment they may secure pamphlets
and publications telling them how
to detect poor seeds, and how to
treat their seeds at a very small
cost so as to make them healthy
before they are put in the ground.
There is very simple and inexpen-
sive mercury preparation that is
known as semesan, which Govern
ment tests show has increased the
acreage of sweet corn by fully one
third, and which has been used in
similarly effective tests in growing
potatoes, cotton and root crops.
Remarkable results are reported in
preventing what is known as tree
cancer" in the root grating apple
nursery business. Semesan is a
word derived from two Latin roots,
and it means healthy Seeds"
