Where Wood Stands
In Characteristic, Frank Manner Leonard Wood
Speaks Out on Principles and Policies
of Our Government.
“Our government musr be put
on a budget system. Only by
carefully estimating our expen
ditures and seeing to it that all
departments keep within their
appropriations can we hope to
curb the criminally insand waste
of atty administration. Washing
ton must cease to be the spigot
from which flows all the foolish
expenditures of the nation.
"I firmly believe that the irk
some war taxes which retard
trade and prosperity and make
life a burden for the small busi
ness man, farmer and household
er should be spread over a long
er term of years. It Is not fair
that the people who worked and
fought to save America for pos
terity should have to pay all the
- bills, too.
“America's most precious trust
—Its children—are In the hands
of woefully underpaid group of
high-souled citizens, our teach
ers. The educators of our coun
try, highly trained for their
work, hold at their disposal the
greatest asset we have against
bolshevism and the red menace.
They mold the makeup of our
next generation. We must see
to It that they are paid a better
wage.
“Relations between capital and
labor—between those who work
and those who direct—must be
on tha baals of a square deal to
labor and a square deal to cap
ital ; a wage which, with thrift
and Industry, will enable a man
to live and aave. We must pro
vide the necessary machinery
promptly to Investigate condi
tions at Issue In strikes and for
making tho asms public. Wo can
largely control these conditions
through sound public opinion;
but sound public opinion cannot
be created without intelligent
and frank publicity. We must
strive to increase the human ele
ment In the relations between
employers and employees. We
must see that labor has suliable
working conditions. We must
abolish child labor. We must give
an honest day’s wage for an
honeat day's work, and In turn
labor must give an honest day’s
work. VVe must not only let live
but help to live.
"I believe in developing a de
partment of agriculture that ful
ly and intelligently co-operates
with the farmer and the great
farm organizations, with one at
the head who knows and ap
preciates the farm needs from
experience.
‘‘The nation must be made to
realize the importance of the
farmer; and the government you
establish In Washington must
know what the hard-working
producers of our country need.
“I have no apologies to make
for the American uniform. If I
had, It would be an Insult to
every soldier who died In France
or In any previous war we have
waged.
“Let us build op an Intense
American spirit .— selfish but
helpful to a world in trouble,
backed by the right kind of an
American conscience. Fight
loose flbered internationalism as
you would death, for It means
national death. America has •
great mission in the world, one
which she can only perform by
being a strong, united people.”
The Nation Needs Such a Man

For
Public Defender
Republican
The colored people more than any
other are interested in the selection
of a Public Defender. It often hap
pens that one is arrested charged
with violation of the law, but he has
no funds or friends who can come to
his aid. He is nevertheless entitled to
a fair trial and a conscieutious prepa
ration for trial and defense. If nom
inated and elected I shall give each
case my honest, sympathetic and con
scientious attention and effort. You
can rely upon me. Primaries April

PRISONERS MUTINY AT
TREATMENT OF WOMEN
(Continued From Page One.)
screams and cries and loud weeping
from the Negro women's quarters.
Thereafter, he says, he was told by
other prisoners that Deputy John
Demmings had struck Louise Smith,
Negress, \ ith a big jail key, and that
another deputy had kicked a Negress
named Salina.
Men Resent “Beatings.*'
"We boys made it up that we
wouldn’t work so long as they treat
ed the women thatway,” said John
son. "We wanted to talk with Cap’n
Dick about it so he’d stop those dep
uties. We didn’t aim to do the cap’n
anything. The he came into the yard
with a gun. Donnelly was with him.
He had a gun, too. We all got scared
and started to run. Then Cap“t»
Dick shot. Payne never hit him. He
was turnin' to run when he was shot.
We’d raised hell in Jail all night,
hollerin’ an’ heatin' on the bars.”
This same story was told by Alex
McCoy, Negro, in jail for breaking
and entering; by Henry Bradley,
Negro, of 120 Glrod, in Jail for having
stolen property; by Charles Francis,
Negro, of 2317 Aubrey street, in jail
for petty larceny., and Peter Taylor,
Negro, of 1014 Philip street.
f Deputy Dan Donnelly asserts that
he was struck from behind by a stick
and his back seriously hurt. He, too,
was carrying a gun, he says, “but I
didn’t know whether it was loaded
or not.”
