Wo worry about little things and
grieve about greater ones.
Some people have a prayiing habit,
but it tlooH not mean anything at all.
This is a world of trouble, aud the
people who livo in this world know it.
Some people are so insulfting thai
they cannot look you in t-ho faco and
sniSlo.

smilp and bo happy in the midst of a<l

Every polite, obliging colored person
in any avocation of life is an asset
to tho race and evorvbody should
know it.

Make friends with the white people
in your locality. When you get in

show thegr friendship.

there are numbers of people endeavoring
to accomplish this impossible

Senator William 10. Borah1'is now
arguing against the Liherian loan ot
five million dollars on the ground that
white men will get some of the
money. This seems to us to be one of
the strongest arguments to induce a
white United States Senate to pass
the measure.

lion. Marcus Garvey insists upon
keeping his project before the world.
It is announced that a delegation from
his recent Woild Wido Negro Con>
gross held during the month of August
in Now York has arrived at Geno

League of Nations to give the Negrooa

lions of tho world something to think
uhout besides the Groco-Turkish war.
Some people are of tho opinion that
being unduly polite to white folks in
tho Southland "implies and Indicates
servility. This is a mistako. A person
well trained can bo polite without Lo
ing unduly .servile. Virginia manners
may. smack ol' servility, but ihey p>w
u. liwavy rate of interest whan you get,
In troubjo and want other folks to
help you. The proper courso to pursue
Js to be polite and obliging to every
body.
When John QuJncy Adams, editor
of tho St. Paul Appeal died, tho race
suffered the lot^is of a leader, who was
a a "truo as steel." He had high ideals
and ho did not foar to express tliom.

a position that was unassai)able.
For more thhn ten years, wo
havo watched liUs uttorances and at

to duty and Ills fealty to tlio raco
wilth which ho was identified. It is un
fortunato that ho should havo passed

We do not believe that Ills own peoplo

Wo cannot understand just why tlw
Prohibition Department of this ptoveminent
should issue a warrant for
tho arrest of Eilward Y. Olarko, Act
ing Imperial Wizard of tho Ku Klu\
Klan and send his namo bro;ud-cast
over the country as being charged
with transporting ardent spirits, when
thoro is absolutely no irrefutablo ev.
donee of his guilt. His bond was filxed
at $?,000. It seoms that some one took
his suit-wise or was suspected of having
taken it.
As a mattor of fact,., it fell from on
automobile in which he was riding and
it broke open and is said to lihvo con
tained in addition to other things.
$500 in currency and a quart bottle o*
whiskey. Just as wo oxpoctcd Mr.
CJlarko denies all knowledge of tho
whiskey, but admiits the ownership or
the money. Just how i;t can be provon
that, he had the whiskey, unless it was
found in his possession will bo a inos.
interesting question. I
Tt seems to \is to be a case of "much,
ado about nothjng," an attompt tu
prove ownership which cannot bn
proven without the testimony of Mr.l
Clarko to establish thnt fact. On tho1
Ku Klux Klan business,, we arc verv
much ngatnst Mr. Clarke. On-tho
whrtskey question it may bo n caso of
"may bo guilty, but not proven." Be-j
foro they net through with this case,
we suspect it will be ascertained that.
Mr. Clarke does not even use ardent
.spirits "except as a medlcrfue."

Political conditions in this Tli;ird
Congressional District, so far as the
colored people aro concerned are grow
ing steadily worse. Wo talco this from
the recent meeting of tho so--c<tlloo
Republican District Convention helrl
in tho auditorium of Murphy's Hotel,
where colored people, except as servants
ot' tho hotel aro not admitted.
Hon. Chaining M. Ward was made
the congressional nominee and the
gentleman nam,ing him stated without',
equivocation that he believed in making
the Republican Party, a white
man's party.
This is not only contrary to (lie fundamental
principles of ihc regular Ito
publican Party of the nation, but in
direct opposition to tho position Talcen
by His Excellency, Warren G. Hard
ing, President of the United Stajes.
It. is understood then that Mr. Ward
is running for patronage and not for
Congress. Opposed to liijn .is a true
blooded Virginian Hon. Andrew Jackson
Montague and we might add that
ho is a gentleman of tho "first water.
no nas matio no racial declarations
and wo fool safe in saying that lie wlli
not make any. 4
The colored people can do to suit
themselves. They have the choice of
nominating their" own candidate,
which will he really a half volo for
the Democratic nom'inco, or they cai.
stay at homo and permit the two candidates
to fight it out among then,
solves. For our part, wo believe in go
ing to t lie polls and vote. Ildn. Chan
ning M. Ward practically openly anI
nounces through his spokesman thru
i
the votes of colored Republicans aro
not wanted, whilo Hon. Andrew Jacly
son Montague, the Democratic nomineo
wants all tho votes that he can
get.
Wo are of tho opinion that this i-*i
planaMon will be of a k!ijnd and charftf
i tor to clarify tlio situation and enable
the citizens of color to dotermino Jus?
