WASHINGTON COMMENT.
"The meanest man" story is forever
:eing retold in the daily press. Washington,
at the moment, is included to
award the palm to those responsible
for the threatened "picketing" of the
White House by the wives and children
of political prisoners, with the
avowed entf and aim of forcing President
Harding to extend pardons to
these offenders.
Without discussing the question of
the rights and wrongs of the sentences
given the one hundred and fourteen
men who are now in jail in this country
for political offenses, it can be
noted that the law is the law. Generations
of experience have proved
that the way to eliminate a bad law is
tc enforce it, and that a law unenforced
is worse than no law. These
offenders were jailed after due trial
for proved offenses against existing
laws.
It may well be that pardons may be
given some or all of them. But if
such a course is pursued, it will be
because, in the judgment of the Department
of Justice, the ends of justice
will thus be Lest served, and not
because progandists use women and
children in an attempt to play upon
the sympathies of the public. Hardly
the murderer, the absconder, the robber,
the train-wrecker, the bandit, who
. o??io mAmon tn wppn. and
ICIlilUI' 11I1U n \ .. ?.r,
some child to cry after him; but there
are no reasons why he should not
suffer that society be protected.
The president has indicated very
plainly that he is not to be moved by
spectacular means of this kind; that
every case must be decided upon its
merits. He has the support of all
right-thinking citizens ii. his stand.
Meanwhle, Washington regards as
likely candidates for the "meanest
rren" crowns these individuals who
organize and use helpless children,
and their child-love for the fathers
in whom they loyally believe, to embarrass
the president and attempt to
fcrcc him to Jo for sentimental reasons
that which his oath of office prevents
his doing for any reason other
than to serve the best interest of the
country. ^

It is not quite sixty years since
the Emancipation Proclamation was
signed. Well within the lifetime of
many now living tne negro race w<u
pi acticolly totally ignorant, its activities
confined entirely to day labor in
the fields, its ideals represented by a
place to sleep and something to eat,
its ambitions nothing beyond creature
comfort.
in $he nation's capital the seventh
annual negro race cOngreSs has just
Come to an end. This congress, organized
itt September, 1916, has for
its main purpose the uplifting of the
colored race. Through iti channels
have been spread doctrines and ideals
lcr the inspiration of the colored people.
Prominent negro educators, lawyers,
physicians, and business men
attended. Questions affecting the social,
economic, civic, intellectual, and
moral life of the colored race were
discussed and a declaration of principles
for .the American negro adopted.
Prof. Kelly Milier, of Howard University,
chairman of the commission
which drafted the principles, said that
it is the aim of the congress tc make
them the aims and ideals of the race.
Is it not a wonderful record for less
than sixty years? Is it not a great
tribute to the means which has raised
a race, but a few hundred years removed
from African savagery and but
fifty-nine from slavery, to a position
in which li can noia a race tuugicss,
formulate ideals, look with pride upon
several universities, whicli can muster
in its ranks an educator a president
was proud to entertain, a poet read
by all the world, and solid citizens of
worth and property?
If ever a country had a race problem
on its hands, these United States
had it after Appomatox. If ever
education had a triumph, it is in the
work the schools have done in promoting
the welfare of the negro race,
md thus the welfare of all Americans,
who have found in the negro
school, the negro college, the negro
university, the means for making
those who were slaves and chattels,
useful citizens.
There will be music in the air over
South Carilina according to the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce tfhich

and professional men. The campaign

the state will be brought in direct
touch with Columbia daily.
FORMER GOVERNOR
CATTS WINS CASE.
Political Persecution is Term Applied
to Affair by Ex-Chief Executive
of Florida.
Lake Butler, Ela., May 15.?
Charges of accepting a bride during
his term of office against former
Governor Sidney J. Catts, of Florida,
contained in a grand jury indictment
returned more than a yerfr ago, was
dismissed here today when Circuit
Judge Long sustained a defense motion
that the indictment be quashed.
Today's action cleared the former
executive of any malfeasance in office
growing out of his alleged acceptance
of money to influence his
vote &r the pardon of a life tern
convict, J. J. Coleman. While governor
he was ex-officio chairman ol
the pardon board.
Still pending against him is a
federal indictment charging peonage
in that he is alleged to have held
two negroes on his farm in West
Florida to work out a debt.

pains," says Mrs. DuBose. "I became
nervous and dizzy and at times speck*
came before my eyes. My kidney*
didn't act rigbl and I felt badly al'
over. I went to the Kirgstree Drug
Store and got a box of Doan's Kidnej
Pills and after taking them I waf
relieved. When I had finished tak
ing a box of Doan's the trouble wa*
gone. I can highly recommend Doan's
for they cured me " (Statement giv
en January 21, 1918.)
On February 23, 1922 Mrs DuBose
said: "It has been some time since
I have had need for a kidney medi
cine. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
and I gladly confirm all I said ii
