ride "tho veto. Both bodies had a major!
ty in favor of tho measure, but it required
a two-third vote in tho Sennto
and tho vote showed that tho mottibn

and expensive attempts over made

TII|M BONUS BIIjIJ VMTO.
PresidentWarren G. Harding saw
fit, from a sense of public duty to veto
the Bonus Bi|ll as framed and passed
by the House of Reprosentativos and
t.ho United States Senate. He announces
that, ho is in favor of tho principle
but opposed to tho financing methods
adopted by those, who engineered tho
measure. Ho was frank enough to givo
tho advocates of the bill due notico of
his Intentions. Thero Us but ono conclusion
to draw and that is that tho
Amoilican Region promoters were logi
cally sure that, enough votos could no.
be obtained at this session to pass th.V
measure., if a sales tax, which would
carry hoavy direct burdens upon the
people had been included in its provis
ions.
They were apparently "between too
devil and the deep blue sea." They pre
ferred to get credit for having tho
legislation passed by tho Congress at
this session, even though it met w?th
a presidential vqto. After the Fall el?J
tions, conditions will be different. Thv.
statesmen and the politicians will
J have hoard from the people and they
will Know oxactly what, course to pn.
sue in the ptomises. People want work
and (hey want l'air pay for this work.

The League of Nations has proven
itself to he a huge Joke, just as we
thought it would ho the intesttna.
jealousies in the Old World have mado
it logically impossible to carry out it:
provisions. The whole super- structure
seems to have hecn buijt upon deception
and hypocrisy.
Tho Greeks attacked the Turks In
Asia Minor and met with temporary
succsscs, hut they overlooked the fact
that tho war would he a long one and
that the cost incident, to the same
would exhaust the resources of trim
poverty striken country. But tho po;>uface
was carried away with conquest
ihfi possibility of success without
counting the terrible cost of failures.
Now that country is about to lose a
greater part of its foot-hold in Thrace
and it has lost. i>01 of its belongings in
Asia Minor. Tho Turks arc natural
diplomats. Their leaders arc thoroughly
trained and organized. They lose
today but come back again tomoiro'v.
The foV-owers of Mahomet are never
disconcerted. They boliove in the Koran
and they have unbounded faith in
the final success of Isman. Tho Turks

seems to havp been dominated by Col.
Henry W. Amlorson, who dollverul
tho koy-noto speech. Ilo is an admlrublo

Tl*o disaffoctlon among the Democrats
Is presumed to b? of a sufficient
magnitude to Justify a spirited cam

WHAT SHAIili Til 10 CO I,OHIO 1)
VOTERS DO?
The alMmportant <|uestion now presenting
itself is "What Shall the Colorod
Voters Do?". Tho Republican organization
in this Stato has taken the
position that tho more of tho c<f.oro<?
people, who go over to tho Domocratic
nomineea, the better it will bo for the
Republican Party in this commonwen
Ith. For this reason, they are not
making any bid whatsoever for tho
colored vote. They do not care whetn
or their candidates are elected or no*.
Thoy are running for Foil oral patron
ago. W*itli Ithis secured, thoy are well
satisfied.
An for tine colore<l people themselves
they are of the opinion that they aro
hopelessly divided and that they aro
not i,n pasoition to do any material
uaiuiigo 10 miner j'any. it scorns U
US that tlio proper thing to do Is to
build up a Negro organization of sufficient
size and importance to mveet
tills condition. Wo sfliould see to It
thnt our p'eoplo pay their poll taxes
and register and bo prepared to vote.
Wo should carry this organization In
to nil of our various other organizations,
in order that we may bo in a position
to stato just how many votes we
have on tho poll-books.
Wo can then say to this party o?
tbat just what political strength wo
control. A colored organisation with
twenty-five thousand or more voters,
Which voters will act as a unit will a\
tract tho attention of any political
party and will command respect. Wo
have a good organization at tho top. I
ijcr \is extend tills Rood organization
to the bottofin, to the end that, the colored
people of Virginia may tako their
place among the other poliMcail organ*
zations of the commonwealth. .
