IHis aignirfcaiico lies in the fact that 'ho embodies and directs a new spirit of independence among the Negroes.

IIo is nil American citizen of tho highost typo, lie is of Airicnn dosconi, no doubl, but every ge.sturo and movement mark him aa a gentleman of lotterd and a man, who would "fit in well"! on an income of fifty thousand del i, , j iars per year. j Dr. Du Hois ia' not an orator, it ia more what ho says than how lie says it that holds his nearcrs from the first sentence he utters until the con elusion of ilia lecture, for ho la more than anything* i>lsc, a lecturer.

Ho docs not appeal to the galleries aiul ho speaks what he bi! jioves to ho tho truth, regardless or its effect upon his reputation or up on tho receipts ?t tho box ofllco. Hut what about Marcus Oarvoy? So fur as tho fundamental principles of the plan and the aoliomo, which he is foa taring are concerned, ho is unclmngc able, but in his appeals to tho masses ho Ims olarned "to speak tQie language of tho tribo" and ho portrays tho prospects and hopes in vivid Jiving colors, 80 as io work up the Negroe? of tho country to the* highest pitch o* excitement, to tho end that they may furnish enough money to finance the r.iomnncntnl schemes and plana, which can only be put. into operation by huge sums of money, the llko of which have never boon raised in this .country before by colored poople. Shjould these two lead or a form a com bination, when they both are agreed as to the feasibility of tho Marcus Garvoy plan or should they ongage in a destructive war-faro, which will blast or tend to blast tho reputation of ono great leader and ruin tho life hopo and plans of ,tho other great | central figuro, who admittedly leads more colored pooplo In this country than any other individual has been able to claim since tho foundation of this government?

Tho Sophomore Olrss of the Medi cal College of Virginia seems io have made Hr. Margaret Hoskins the "storm centra of an unenviable notor iety, charging her with hav ing glvfcMi voloo to the opinion that sho would prefor marrying an injtoh lectin I citizen of color, commonly known in this section as a Negro to an /ignorant member of Iter own raco. That the underlying animus in this charge was .largely duo to tho fact that Miss Hoskjns 'hallctd from Now h/iigland and could be rogardod as a "yankeo" largely explains the reasons for this mofjt unreasonable and un justifiable attack. No sane person, ' unimpregnntod with prcjudico towards eilther the Nogro or tho northerner could pre sume tbat Miss Margaret Hoskins, an accomplished white lady would pre fer a member of tho desples roce to the fellowship of the handsome, high ly intelligent white men for whom Virginia is notod. Tho whole affair | flooms to have lxsen conceived for tlio, purpose of injuring and humiliating h^r. colorod men prefer (the nmtr'nriovJWl cmipnnionshllp of tholr own people. Tliey are opposed too to ft/ho mixing of tho races. If a Chliyvao wall could bo built in the Southland to lcoop tho races apart, t.lioy would favor f-vrfh a proji<ct. Thanks to tho whito men's foresight, col Ar< vi men are able to marry white women wjAouft going on tho WhJtA fide of Khe lino bo io do. By some InBcrutable but qithor explainable method, wo hnvo white rn.cn and wo men, c hissed iu) NXigroos, who hnvo Koman noses. straight hair, well formed teeth mid hair thnt will rival thnt of the pumit Anglo-Saxon. They did not get thCf>o characteristics olth or by virtue of lawful wedlock, al though It would havto boon lionornblo for thorn rio to do. Somo of the poo plo responsible for those conditions nre constantly suffering from night mares less tho result of this union Khali in time be legalized. But thore are tons of thousands ot other white people and Negroes, who nre not concerned about (thin gliost of social equality and legal racial amalgamation. Young niftn, who wero born vlrtu nlly yesterday do not either know or understand and it is gratifying to know /that the sober-second sense of the oflicdnls of this great oodloglato institution exercised itself in a man nor to end tho discussion and to drop out of sight this agitation which could only do harm to everything and jto everybody, who 'had any connection with it. Tho colored popplo, tho Negroes nre glad that tfiio matter la endod nnd they hope that a cflaBS in ethics j and common sense WJJI be added to tho curriculum of this npted institu tion where tho hot headed young sters in this Sopliomoro Class may '.earn their last lesson iu getting along and succeeding In the Southland with out racial friertion or northorn antag on ism.

It ap pen red from the text of the resolu Hon that Mr. McClure had prioyeous ly offended the state control commit tee by his actions as chairman of tho ways and means committee. Henry Lincoln Johnson, tho Negro Republican nat ional committeeman for Georgia, made li'ls appearance at the meeting shortly after t'10 session open ed at 12 o'clock. His attendance was unexpected and when he walked Into the hall tho session was susponded wlille tho committeemen, white and black Joined in giving him an ovatilon. After n few moments, during which the dcilogates swarmed around him to shake his hand, Henry Lincoln took a a:\it beside tho chairman, participat ing in the proceedings to tho extent of two JDicry speeches and several inter polatioii8 on various questions as thoy came up Cor consideration. His first speech wli'cb was in the nature of a response to the greeting he had received from tho committee, conuijined a bitter denunciation of tse ?Ku Klux Klan pnst rnd preoent .

Johnson also discussed the propos ed antl-lynch law, saying that the :ln coming Republican congress Is pledged to the passage of such an act and that the Democratic members of tho nation al 'legislative body will not oppose it .
