National Baptist Keview, >iash. "ville, Tenn. ;jto_d The Palmetto Leader gave "misleading and glaring reports of the National Baptist Congress." Oh, well, ^ what's the use ? Editor Roach is the only one who call pivn a eorrect report, and he still gives it to the tune of three and one-h&lf columns in the last issue of his paper. To disagree with Editor Roach is to be entirely wrong always and forever more. It's rather amusing the way the democrats of the South haul over the coal the republicans of the North in the manner of their nlnnf i'nr\o T\l?i/?L ir. ~~ 1? bib^i/iuiik}. iuutn is nuw utiillg said about the primary elections in Pennsylvania and Illinois, the ?democrats holding?up their 7^1 hands in holy horror.?Should however the republicans dare say one word about the manner and method of elections- in theSouth'at'bncei they wouldlxf ac- j cused of 'hyaving' the bloody - ghik'V Go for 'em, democrats^ ' you have the spineless republican 's goat. H ? -I President Borno and his wife were entertained at the White1 House by^lPrefident and MrsJ Coolidge. . WeV however, have1 . _ l failed to note any outcry in the press about the dirn'ng with col oreu peopie as was tne case when President Roosevelt sat at lun-' cheon with Booker T, Washing-' ton, one of the great Americans. But 'Haiti has something i h-it the whites of the country want,. the American Negro had nothing1 that they did not Already have.\ That's the difference. American whites are the hardest people in the world on their own colored fellow citizens. * ?* are "gtlll trying to enmesH Na-^ lional Republican Committeeman in a scheme whereby official ap-j pointments are made a>t so much per. Of course, Mr. Howard hasj too much sen.se to participate in, any such. But. suppose he did, wherein is the difference in get-j ting so much in cash for a posi-, tion and in getting a position bjn reason of work in electing the" .official who jjecommends~ as is done hv the demnnrafoi i they are in power? A price is price whether it be in money or potatoes. ' * -? ? .

The answer is; t "Vote together for ipen who will f i work for our rights and for no t others.' There are for us no Re- ? publicans and no Democrats? f j There are only friends and op- i ' pOnents. We are tired of pro- I j mises, pleasant wurdy, appeals *\ to our gratitude for the acts of. rdcad men fifty years ago." j?Mr. Storey is -a white man of j National-standing.

B |- ^F BlSHOR-lGREGG REFUSES" f( | Bishop Gregg who was recent- tl fly I'lefted to thfi pirrtirinrv of j Howard University, the largest colored institution in the world, S) lias refused to-acpejjt'-the place. w The Bishop gives as some of his s I reasons:....His promise to the Af- a ricans- to returm tcK them ; being ll bishop for only two years, it ^ might seem like irigratjf ude_Tb~ leave the work of the "Church ; tl fear that some people would tl think he changed positions be- h ctkisc-of the salary, the bishopric 7 having a salary of $3,600 and Howard $10,000 per year. Of course, if the Bishop does not feel himself equal to the task 11 that others thought him eminently fitted for he does- well to _ decline. We do not think much g of that promise to Africans a- c -bottf-returning to them. The fl Bishop -is Tin American "arrd "he" ? owes a duty first bf all to his peo- 1 -pie-in?America. It would seem g that-a man hasapeculiarslant ti on existence who thinks Tie C ought clean up his neighbor's house before giving attention to ^ nis own. remaps, alter jilir-tne]u trustees were mistaken in their p man. f ""'The Bishop was not ordained e for nor dedicated to Africa. He 11 went there because his fellow b Bishops .assigned him there. As ti to leaving the work of the a Church, just why does the good ( Bishop think that he would be leaving the work of the Church? t) After ail, what is the work of t< the Church if it be not the devel- ri oping of humanity in the finer a things of life? As president, a would he not have as great, if e, not greater opportunity to im- ei press the souls of folks, even at H a more impressionable and las- a ting period ? ~Tndeed, as an effec- *r tive president, he could make the ^ work of _Bishop less ardeous and p more satisfactory, The work j? ' ' ,f 1 ' **?*? \ ' THE PALMET ?f a Bishop is indeed high and mportant, hut .there are, more nen who think they can grace he Bishop's bench than can be ound, who are thought able to ake hold of Howard University ts president. The woods are ull of them even now campaignng for the robes of a Bishop. Wto some people thinking he v.ould be trhanging fer^the-dif- l Seneca Junior College Formerly Seneca Institute To those who have been misinormed by a certain writer to The Palnetto Leader and The Recorder-Indiator, we wish to say in behalf of the rustee board and the loyal supporters f our school that at the meeting hat was held on May 4th, 1926 that here was no proposition that was railroaded through the meeting. That _ ie adding of -two years of college ork'to our present course of study as voted without a. dissenting vote; Tat the (.'haiiging of the tmme of the ' hool after being,discussed pro and >n was voted unanimously; that the ay on which we always meet it is an ' US' uuy uul ul twcncy?f?ve. Uteris f 'the trustee board, seventeen were resent. Those who .did not come to ic meeting found it inconvenient enenlly because of. distance or other . usiness, except the writer of the mislformed - article-who sent in -hrs resrnation to be read in this ineeting, hich resignation is in the hands of ic secretary of the board. So you 2e nothing was done in a corner nor as there any "railroading." The writer of the misinformed arli- le who styles himself as one of the sunders, says that as a rule these issociational schools are becoming f little effect., should not the "loyal upporter" weep because of sadness ' this is a fact and he a founder, in- . tead of trying to give publicity to lie failing of what he so nobly rough and protects? _ Again the misinformer says that he oesn't know one of these schools hat is not burdened with debt. We hink that if the writer had been resent in the meeting of the trustee-" oard, instead of having his resignaion present he would have been inarmed that our school, we arethankul to say, , in not burdened yet with ebt, it would be well for him tosee he auditing committee, viz: Rev.
