CENSORED BY U. S.
Washington, D. C.—Drastic censor

other European government has ever
imposed, has been established by the
United States navy over the Colored
natives of Santo Domingo. The ex
act text of the order is as follows:
Censorship
“With the declaration of Occupa
tion and military government in San
to Domingo, censorship is hereby es
tablished, the existence of which will
be immediately notified to the press.
Any comment that is intended to
be published upon the attitude of the
United States government, or upon
anything connected with the occupa
tion and military government of San
to Domingo must first be submitted
to the local censor for approval; and
no such comment shall be permitted
to be printed without having passed
upon favorably by the censor.
The publication is forbidden of ex
pressions of a violent or inflammable
nature tend’ng to inciting hostility or
resistance to the military government.
The publication of any newspaper
or other periodical that offends
against this order will be suspended;
and responsible persons—owners, ed
itors or others—will further be lia
ble to punishment by the military
government.
The printing and distributing of
posters, handbills, or similar means
of propaganda in order to dissemi
nate views unfavorable to the United
States government or to the military
government in Santo Domingo is for
biden, as is the distribution in Santo
Domingo of such matter in papers
and periodicals published in foreign
countries. Offenders against this
regulation will be liable to punish
ment by the military government.
The officer (general) commanding
or shore will appoint censors and put
this order into effect.”
CHICAGO DAILY STUDIES
CITY NEGRO
The Chicago Daily News has just
finished publishing a series of arti
cles pertaining to the Negroes of that
city. It is one of the most exhaustive
studies of the kind ever published in
this country and covers every phase
of the race’s life. These articles not
only relate the progress which the
race is making in business, profes
sions, religion, wealth, art, literature,
music, amusements, education, and
labor, but also shows up the lures and
pitfalls which are continually beset
ting the race in the big city. It is to
be hoped that the whole series will
be published in one volume, for they
are well worth reading and study.

I'EORIA COLORED MAN
DIES AT AGE OF 103 YEARS
_
Records of Coroner’s Office Showed
Henry Harper to Be Past
Century Mark.
Peoria, January 3.—Records of the
coroner’s office, place at 103 years
the age of Henry Harper, who died
recently, supposedly of pneumonia.
Coroner Elliott is investigating the
case, but expects to receive a certifi
cate from Dr. Askew, who has been
attending the decedent for some time.
Harper was bom in Georgia and
had lived in Peoria for 50 years. His
daughter, Mrs. Stella Schuman, with
whom he made his home, 109 Lincoln

THE FIRST COLORED
WOMAN “POLICEMAN”
Los Angeles, Cal.—In the person of
M[rs. Georgia A. Robinson, Los An
geles boasts of having the first “Col
ored Policewoman” in the country.
Mrs. Robinson is assigned to duty
with the uvenile Bureau, and has
proven herself to be a good angel to
the delinquent children of this city.
Her ability as a linguist, speaking
fluently German, French, Spaiish and
English, enables her to reach all class
es of the city’s population, and she has
little trouble in winning the confi
dence of the children and their par
ents.
Mrs. Robinson’s success as a po
lice officer has won for her the com
mendation of the city officials and
it is not at all improbable that there
will be other Colored women appoint
ed to fill similar positions in this and
other cities.

SOCIALISM AND THE NEGRO
The Negro will be greatly aided
by Socialism. He doesn’t want to
force himself into the company of
white people—he merely wants an
equal chance to make a living. So
cialism will give the Negro the right
to a good job, and he will get the full
social value of his labor. In other
words Socialism will give the Negro
economic equality. It is to the in
terest of the white workers to have
their black shop neighbors getting
good wages and good conditions. If
the black man were to get less, the
white man’s standard would be drag
ged dowm. By keeping the Negro’s
standard up, the the white man's bur
den is lightened and his economic po
sition is made more secure. For that
reason, it is a matter of plain common
sense for the whites to give the blacks
a square deal.—Appeal to Reason.
CONGRESS TRIES TO DIS
FRANCHISE PORTO RICANS
Washington, D. C.—The proposed
disfranchisement of 165,000 Porto
Ricans by a property and literary test
failed through the efforts of a single
representative, Meyer London, Social
ist representative of New York. Both
Republicans and Democrats were
ready to pass the bill when Mr. Lon
don made a most vicious attack upon
it. So bitter was the bill assailed
that Congressman Mann wanted Lon
don “disciplined" by the House. But
London persisted and forced a reso
lution to grant the Porto Ricans ten
years in which to either acquire prop
erty or to learn to read and write.
