Dr. Morton said that President Coolidge inquired specifically into the situation regardng lynching and mob violence and that he was able to report· that on the basis of present indication the number of lynchings for Dr. Robert R. Moto~ this year would be substanially below those for 1926. President Coolidge also received a report on the Veteran's Hospital located at Tuskegee, which some time ago was placed entirely under the ;upervision of a Negro personnel.

"For the death of my son I hold no malice or ill will toward General Sandino or any of his men, for I think (and I believe 90 per cent of our people agree with me) that they are today fighting for their liberty, as our forefathers fought for our liberty in 1776, and that we as a nation have no legal or moral right to be murdering those liberty-loving people in a war of aggression. What we are doing is nothing less than murder for the sole purpose of keeping in power a puppet president and acting as collector for \Vall Street, which is certainly against the spirit and letter of our Constitution.

Stadter are urging him to enter the race for the "circuit bench of Multnomah county, but as yet the popular jurist has not definitely made up his mind. The primaries are in May and he has several weeks yet in which to come to a conclusion. Judge Stadter is well and favourably known as a friend of the colored people of Portland. He at all times has taken a kindly interest in the misfortunee of the colored men and women who have been forced to appear before him in Municipal <;ourt. The judge always has taken an active part in all civic matters pertaining to the betterment of Portland and for more than nine years was deputy city attorney, stationed at central police headquarters. With the installation of a second Municipal court three years ago, Judge Stadter was appointed to assist the then Municipal Judge W. A. Ekwall ,v'ho since has been elevated to the circuit bench. Among his chief diversions is mountaineering. Judge Stadter is a lover of the great out doors and at present is president of the Mazamas of Portland. It was through his untiring efforts that Mount Hood at last has become a Mecca for winter sports devetees. A toboggan slide as well as two ski runs ltav« been er~cted on the slopes of the old mountain and they are within easy reach of Portland. In speaking of opening up this fine sport, Judge Stadler said: "You know one thing I'm proud of is the opening of Mt. Hood Road to Government Camp. I believe that when the you.ng folk can get out into the great open spaces in the cold, they're alright; they have an outlet for their energy. "I think the finest thing for a young man's health is to play out in the snow, on skiis, etc." The Judge drives up nearly every Sunday and is pleased with the way the people are using the road. He says it is about a two hours' drive from Portland and if one does not care for the skiis or toboggan, they can build snow men; play snow ball or amuse themselves in divers other ways. If Judge Stadler decides on filing his name for appearance on the Republican primary ballot next May, no doubt his support will come from all sections of Portland and from residents in all walks of life.

With this prejudicial attitude on the part of the mayor of Jacksonville, the citizen! informed Mr. Randolph of the attitude of the city adminstration toward him and advised that he should not visit Jacksonville at this time.

They received Mr. Hayes in the usual manRoland Hayes ner, and he was welcomed uproariously at this, his first appeara:1ce of the season, such a welcome eclipsing any given him in America. Mr Hayes' repertoire consisted of English, French and German numbers with a few spirituals. Despite his recent indisposition, his voce seemed clearer and better than ever, This quality was noticed particularly b his German group of love songs, his voice winning instant favor becausl! of his sympathetic interpretation. Mr. Hayes' spirituals "took the house by storm." These numbers were "Done Made My Vow." "It's Me, 0 Lord," "Peter, Go Ring Dem Bells" and "Camp-Mectin'."

DEATH OF TWO YOUNG FOLK In the presence of great grief, words seem futile, poor things at best, when we would have them express the. sympathy and sorrow that fills our hearts they fail. The blow that has been struck at the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. L. Miller and Mr. and Mrs. S. Bagley in the tragic untimely taking of their son and daughter, splendid upstanding young people just in the full promise of useful manhood and womanhood, is one so bitter that there is hardly an adequate method by which to express the mere fact. As the young man and young woman were strong and splendid, worthy and full of great promise, we feel, with their family, the sorrow of their passing. But as the young people left behind them the memory and country it is of paamount importance that Negroes conduct themselves in such manner as to be able to produce a perfect alibi when taken in and questioned as a suspect. Circumspect living and decorous conduct will do much toward stopping so much publicity of the Negro as a criminal. "AS FOR AS I GO" MAYOR BARS RANDOLPH FROM JACKSONVILLE (Continued From Pa&"e One) was responsible for creating this bias and un-American attitude of the mayor toward Randolph who is a native of Florida.

E.D. C. HOW MUCH DO WE WANT PEACE? We are going to have a chance to answer this question, that is, our Congress is. If Congress represents us, we shall know how many of us are sincere and how inany of us are not. France is ready to sign an agreement "publicly to engage itself with the United States to put war as between the two countries outside the pale of law."- It is a "compact for peace as a conservation of the long years of unbroken amity that have existed between the two countries." For no reason, according to this compact, shall war ever be permitted to become possible between the two contracting nations. An impossible agreement, does someone say? But why any more impossible than for two neighbors, both gentlemen, to sign a contract that no matter what ,happened or whose dog trespassed on the other's property, they would never take theit guns and go out to kill one an another? Jacksonville to charge Bennie Smith with circulating inflamatoryy literature. The fact was, Mr. Smith was not circulating any such literature for he was only selling the Messenger Magazine, which has been sold in Jacksonville for the last ten years, during which time, as now, Mr. Randolph was its editor.

"The mayor attempted to hide behind a smoke screen," says Randolph, "in pretending if the Brotherhood was affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, he would permit the General Organizer to speak in Jacksonville. This is indeed a highhanded, autocratic attitude for a public official to take of a so-called civilzed city. Whether the Brotherhood is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor or not has nothing to do with me speaking in Jackso:1· ville or anywhere else in America", says Randolph. "Of course, I w9uld have gone dn down to Jackson'vlle and spoken to the citizens if they had not disapproved of my coming because of the position of the mayor." Randolph says he wrote the mayor a personal letter telling him of his proposed visit and requesting protection n view of his statement to the Negro ctizens, and tte former attitude of the police toward Bennie Smith, but he received no reply. He has placed the case in the hands of the American Civil Liberties Union and also referred it to Mr. Green, president of the American Federation of Labor.

E.D.C. The man or woman who is doing something worthwhile for himself or the community, welcomes honest, intelligent and constructive criticism. It's the one who isn't doing anything worth while and who is little mentally and otherwise who hollers the loudest when anyone says anything abo11t what he or she is doing. E. D. C. How many names once flung with contempt at a few men and women ahead of their times, have become words spoken with praise and deserved honor. It W9.s a reproach to be called a leader or a discoverer or a promoter of big things. Several years ago the name of Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, J o h n Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, were mentioned in derision by many who did not have their broad vision; some of them were even beaten and publicly mobbed by pro-slaveryists. But today those names are spoken with the greatest reverence, honor and praise. E. D. C. CRIME PRESS AND THE NEGRO The white press of the country is filled with lurid stories of the most dastardly crimes imaginable. Fortunately, few Negroes have been found guilty of such brutal atrocities against humanity, although daily papers carry big headlined stories of Negro attackers of white women, etc. A significant thing about these bestal outbreaks against humanity and civilization is that attempts are first made to fasten them on some Negro. The kidnapping, brutal manglingmurder craze that is sweeping i.e country in most instances is first laid to a Negro. There seems to be a disposition 01 the part of whites-both police and newspaper reporters- first to suspect Negroes of these unspeakable crimes. As soon as a crime is committed the papers carry a story telling of the arrest and questioning of Negro suspects by thepolice. Fortunately, in practically a11 of the most henious and fiendish crimes the actual perpetrator has been white. Under the existing conditions and prevaling attitude of the police and newspaprcs (white) toward colored people in nearly every part of the the military gentlemen of the country tell us how they long for peace. Well, let us then join enthusiastically in supporting this fne measure. We wonder whether Senator Capper will I be called a pacifist. Quite likely. We would to Heaven there were 100, I 000, 000, pacifist in the United States, at least enough to insure the passing of Senator Capper's measure.

The Pastor despite his very strenous day chose to throw his whole self into the service. Using the subject "God and the Sinner," he preached a sermo1 such as never been heard in Olivet. Every aestige of justification was removed from sin,ers and the pointed question "Why will ye die?" pierced men and women thru and thru. The Holy Spirit broke loose and while the church prayed, being led by the Pastor and Rev. Gardner, many persons 1·ejoiced in the God of their salvation.

TO SUP- Bir ELKS LODGE SECURES PLY ALL DEMANDS FOR FUEL IN THE FUTURE High pressure distribution of gas in mains from three to five hun· dred miles in length to supply small towns surrouRding the larger centers of population and intervening rural districts, such as is now done by super-power facilities of central station electric companies, is a certainty of the near future, Walter C. Beckjord, vice president of the American Light and Traction Company, New York, declares, , , .. 1 Natural as has been transmitted upwards of 300 miles and there is .10 reason why manfactured gas cannot be handled in similar way if the economics of the situation permit, be says. •"An eight-inch transmission main can be laid in the ground for about $8,000 per mile," Mr. Beckjord says. "This isn't much more than the cost of some electric transmission lines. Wooden pole transmission lines can be built for $4,000 or $5,000 per mile and the larger steel transmission lines cost from $12,000 to $15,000 per mile. "Gas as a fuel can be supplied much cheaper than electrical energy be· cause the thermal efficiency of gas producing equipment is around seventy-five to eighty per cent while in the case of electrical equipment it is slightly more than twenty per cent and the investment cost is much higher. The investment cost of an electrical system is about twice that of the gas system per million B. T. U. so that it is easy to see that in most places where it is necessary to supply heat, gas bas a greater advantage." Former Garvey Home For Home Temple At the regular meeting of the Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. 0. E. c,f W., on Monday evening, January 9, unanimous approval was given to the purchase of Liberty Hall, former headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (the Garveyorganization) as a site for a temple and home. The property is being purchased from Casper Holstein past Exalted Ruler of Monarch Lodge, and one of' the most prominent Elks in New York. Mr. Holstien has refu~ed several offers to sell the property to white builders at a substantial profit and is letting the Lodge have it for what it cost him, simply because he is ambitious to have his lodge own and occupy the largest and finest temple in Elkdom. Bourht At Forecloser The property was secured from Garvey organization by Mr. Holstien at a forecloser sale nearly two years ago. His purpose in buying it was misunderstood and he was charged with being the agent for white brokers who ~re anxious to get the plot as a site for new apartment houses. Although he had befriended the U. N. I. A. by several loans, this organization made all kinds of charges. against him, going so far ·as to take the matter to court and having the first sale voided because the auctioneer was alleged to have refused to accept the money due from the Association. When the resale was held, Mr. Holstien was again the high bidder but showed a remarkable spirit of forgiveness by allowing the U. N. I. A. to continue using the hall for their meetings. There is one fundmental difference Officers Installed in the problem of the super-power No jnformation was given out as electric generating station al'ld the to the details of the Elks building super gas works, he explains.
