VOTE DOWN BILL FOR
COLORED BISHOPS
Philadelphia, Pa., March 31.—By a
vote of 157 to 69 the Philadelphia Con
ference of the M. E. chaurch, March
18, defeated the amendment to the or
ganic law of the denomination, paving
the way for the elcetion of i\egtu
bishops.
The amendment, known as the
“Bishops for Races and Languages”
proposal, has already been adopted by
a number of white conferences, as well
as all Colored ones that have met so
far this year. It is expected that the
Washington Conference at its session
in Richmond, Va., and the Delaware
Conference, which meets in this city
this week, will vote for its ratification.
The discussion at the Philadelphia
Conference was a long and animated
one. “Do we draw the color line?”
asked the Rev. Dr. Frank F. Parkin,
in voicing his opposition. “Yes, we do
draw the color line. We want no ‘Jim
Crow’ bishop, a term that has fre
quently been used in such discussions
as this in the last few years.
“I am a friend of the Colored man,
but we cannot deny or conceal that
cial prejudice exists. We know that
there is no possibility of a Colored
man’s being elected a bishop by our
General Conference, nor of a Colored
bishop presiding over the deliberations
of our own conference. I say, let’s
stop playing the hypocrite, let’s stop
playing double and tell our Colored
brethren the truth. If there comes a
day when we can find a Colored man
big and broad enough to become the
equal of a white man, then let’s have a
Colored bishop, but not until then.”
He also said that the time must come
when the Colored churches must form
an organization of their own.
“We are satisfied with white super
vision,” said the Rev. George H. Bick
ey,” and we assume that the Colored
people are also satisfied with it. But
just as we have racial ambitions and
pride, so has the Colored man. 1 am
in favor of waiting until a man of suf
ficient calibre to lead his race is found,
and then making him a leader of his
awn kind.” The Revs. David Lord,
Cornelius Hudson and Mr. Bickey
were among those who favored the
proposed amendment as a step to
wards church democracy.
KILL JIM CROW BILL

Louisville, Ky., March 31.—The leg - j
;slature adjourned, and the infamous

two of Louisville's strogest white pa
pers, the Courier-Journal and the
Evening Post. The mayor spoke
against the bill but a number ot the
commercial organizations favored it.
