He was one of those who are said to have been instrumental in getting the reappointment of Judge Robert H. Terrill confirmed by the United States Senate. He did not succeed in landing any big position for a Colored democrat, however, as President Wilson reconsidered his de termination to appoint a Colored man as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. THE COUNTRY IN BRIEF Colored teachers, along with whites, have petitioned the school board of Norfolk, Va., for a salary raise. The school board of Sadlertown, Pa., is considering the advisability of establishing a night school for Col ored adults. Prominent Colored citizens of At lanta met recently to consider plans for helping Colored soldiers fighting with the French army. The annual report of the Chicago Colored Y. M. C. A. shows 1,814 mem bers. It has a flourishing automobile school, and was presented a new Studebaker car during the year. Jul ius Rosenwald also gave $1,000. Mrs. R. E. Jones, of New Orleans, wife of the editor of the Southwest ern Chr’Stian Advocate, died recent ly, following a long illness. The annual session of the National Negro Press Association was hel dat Nashville last week. The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, of Memphis, Tenn., observed “Thrift Day” Saturday, Feb. 3, and many persons opened accounts. THE SPIRIT OF L’OVERTURE STn.L LIVES The news comes from the little Re public San Domingo that the peo ple are still defying the United States. They are more than suspicious of the brand of justice offered under any kind of arrangement with this coun try. They are descendants of the great general, Toussant L’Overture, who did not hesitate to lead his sol diers against the “Legions of France” under Napoleon, and who was only conquered through treachery. The spirit of their great leader still flows in their veins and they demand free dom in its highest sense. They point with scorn to the so-called justice ac corded the other Colored citizens of the great United States, and say the great republic had better learn how to treat the loyal Colored men of their own land before they seek to add more Colored men to their so-called burden.
