DEAN OE WASHINGTON LAWYERS gives advice (Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton.) Washington, Sept. 16.—Judge John A. Moss of Anacostia, D. C., dean of the colored lawyers practicing at the bar of the District of Columbia, and former justice of the peace, offers to the reading public some wholesome advice to the voters of the country. The day will surely come in the his tory of this country when the color of a voter’s skin will cease to be an index to his politics, and when the mere nomination of a candidate on a false self-styled democratic ticket will no longer be equivalent to an election. 1 also say that when the political mouths of such men as Cole Blease of South Carolina, Vardaman of Mississippi and Frank Clark of Florida are closed, and the people of this country decide to j Classified Advertising RATES—4 cents a word for single in sertions; 2 cents a word for two or more insertions.

S. follow the leadership of such men as the late Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley and| Theodore Roosevelt, and many others | that I could mention, then, and not un-1 til then, can we expect to enjoy a pei fect democratic form of government. We only ask justice and the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States. 1 insist that men, worn- : en and children who are lynched and j murdered in cold blood without the slightest opportunity to say, ‘‘I am not guilty,” must be stopped. These hor rible offenses are encouraged or at least winked at by the foremost men of a certain section of the United States who claim that they represent the purest democracy on the western continent. We are all watchfully waiting and hoping to hear the death knell of such democracy resounded throughout America next November. Why should there be such a condition existing in this country as a solid South ? What does it mean in good pure English?! A different form of government to that of the North. East and W:est in the United States? I think I can see darkly, as through a glass, that when the people of the country realize the fallacy of a so called solid democratic South, there will be a beneficial breaking up of the j present political situation in that sec-! tion of the most beautiful portion of our common country, and there estab lish that grand old Lincoln-Jefferson American democracy. Then and not until then can we boast of being the freest and most magnanimous people on the civilized earth. 1 am looking forward to see the day come when there will be no North, no South, no East and no West, when ev ery American citizen can feel safe :n the enjoyment of every right guaran teed by the constitution of the United States. Away with such a democracy as we have Ixen living under and pas - ively enduring for the past eight years. Let the women and men of the East, North, South and West vote early and late for Warren G. Harding for president next November. PEOPLE OF NORTH AFRICA Mrs. Mitchell Returns With Many Negatives of Native Scenes and People of Mystic Lands (By the Fortune Syndicate.) New York. Sept. 16.—Mrs. Eliza beth Mitchell, musical director during the past ten years at the West Vir- ■ ginia Collegiate Institute, at Institute, who went to northern Africa and southern Europe last June, for the j purpose of securing negatives in travelogue form, returned to this country on the White Star liner Ced ric, landing in Boston Tuesday of last week, where she was met by her hus band, C. E. Mitchellj presidpnJ of the M utual Savings and Loan Company of Charleston and the financial agent of the West Virginia Collegiate Insti tute. They came immediately to New York, remained two days, and went . direct to Institute, where Mrs. Mitchell j I will rest and recuperate. During her sojourn in northern Africa and southern Europe, Mrs. 1 Mitchell secured four thousand feet of i films, which will be converted into I “movie” purposes at once. When it is ■ ready a presentation of the travelogue i will be privately made in New' York, at which newspaper and theatrical : managers will be invited to view it. Headquarters of the Mitchell Tra : velogue Company have been estab lished in New York, at 2293 Seventh Avenue, with T. Thomas Fortune as j manager. T-uth About Haiti James Weldon Johnson, in the Na | tion and the Crisis, is telling the | American people the truth about Haiti. | He is not talking from hearsay, but : from personal and scrutinizing ob i nervation. The power of truth is no I less today than yesterday. The truth will make Haiti free. However, the truth about the man ! ner in which the present democratic ! administration, under Woodrow Wil I son, has debauched the rights, will, j freedom and morality of that little na 1 tion forms a page in history as black | as night. Mr. Johnson is not a vindictive writ [ er. He does not say mean and ter rible things simply for the purpose of making anker or stirring up strife. He has an established ability, never theless, of making facts plain, and showing them up in their true light. The manner in which he shows up con ditions in Haiti, if there were no lynching and other evils in America going at the present time at the rate of almost two a day, would be enough to ring a stinging protest against those who have been responsible of raping this republic of its glorious rights. The present administration has most beautifully elucidated on the “rights of weaker peoples,” but Haiti would make the savages blush for shame, and labels the propounders of so i called justice as the rankest kind of hypocrites and tyrants. PROMINENT MINISTER ANSWERS SUMMONS (By Associated Negro Press.) Asheville, N. C., Sept. 16.—Kev. Chas.
