^ ^ ,<c ? . ;$> ^gj ^ \ ... . vol.. VII,?NO. 44. AN UNFORTl'NAl CdJifcressman Oscar Depriest and Nfction&l Committeeman- Perry W. Howard have recently become involved in an 'unfortunate public controversy, which has reached the acute stage of accusation and vituperation. It is not unusuol for politicians ana statesmen of high renown. to clash tyith each other over public or personal disagreement or misunderosevelt and Taft furnish classical instance?. In both cases the personal animosities resulted in defeating the political ambitions of both parties 'concerned and of the political party , to* which they belonged. J tho * -SoPriagt-Howard?controversy ] is fraught with great possible evil to the political welfare of the colored , race. Negro leadership today is at; people. These are^the only persons' of color who hold high positions in ^ the management of national affairs ! based directly upon the expressed will of the people whom they represent. I Mr. Howard is the only colored mem ber of the National Republican Com- ! mrctee which place he holds by the choice of the Republican voters of a great sovereign state. ."OtT~the other 1 hand iMr. DePriest is the sole Negro ! representative in Congress for the past thirty years. He holds tliis"j __ : high position hv virtue of the votes of the people of the first congressional district of the great state of Illi. nois.- It does not now seem likely I that the race will have another addi- j tional member of Congress nor of the j National Committee for a? least nvi-i Other deVcde. It is of porv^ount ' conse-,tierce to tlie race 'hat tluse; only representatives in the V-tvirs of j national government should noi em- ; harass the situation over uine'Vi ly ; , wrangling on personal matters i fj trivial imporfance. It waa perfectly naturaly if?not I inevitable that these distinguished j representatives should run across each other and discuss the delicate ! features involved in in invitation to ' a White House function. * When j Booker T. Washington received an j invitation from -president Rousehell, j with his keen foresense .of conse- ' t quence he anxiously discussed with , his host with whom he" was stopping at the time the wisdom of acceptance.1 Frederick Douglass agreed to fprego - the social function of his "office" when j he was appointed Marshall for the [ Difrtrirt. of Columbia. Assistant-At- t . torney General William H. Lewis was ' repeatedly ignored in the purely so- ' cial-courtesies accorded his white as- : sociates. Likewise Mr. Howard has I suffered emh&rrassmenft functioning ai~~a~member of the National Com- j mittee.

That { they did so is asserted by both sides, i The issue of veracity arises only as1 to which of the twain made the sug- i ? geation of foregoing?semi social I courtesies for patronage advantage, j Wherf two gentlemen engage in friendly converse, it is exceedingly 1 difficult to dctermimr aftcrward just? what the one or the other did or did 1 not sa\\ Who said "good norning" j first when you last met your friend on the?street? The?public?ia?per fectly willing to leave the settlement ? of that issue to- the hctterl or woxse 1 verbal recollection of the distinguish- j ed parties in controversy. It would! ? y? be far better?for them to settle iti ' over a bottle of gihgerale than to in- I jflp dulge in endless.. criminations and; criminations as to which tried to he- 1 guile the other. The race is only are of history. Mr. DePriest did ac- j nept the invitation and jliij attend the White House function and did con-^j duct himself with becoming dignity ! . and decorum required by the occasion, j He reflected no discredit upon him- | self, his race nor on the Congress of 1 which he' was a member Further-' more, he established a * percedcntgj which ma^' well free both Uie White ; Housd and the jpolored race from | any .further anticipated embarrass- I ment on this score, a result in which | Mr. Howard, along with the rest will doubtless take satisfaction. It is in-. ?> humiliating spectacle when- | ever leading colored men ..create an unbecoming scene in the eves of the I public, The white race sits back in j supercilious disgust, afld smiles, "Aha! j just look at them destroy each other; X told you so," It is needless to rejoin that white men do the same tKing.

But' with ug the race is the loser. White 1 men are not enamored with the idea j of Negro CongressWri or pauonal j committeemen. They enjoy whatever embarrassment they may throw in each other's way, which! they would ^ gladly utilize to defeat both by p'aying off one against the other. There are 'dlw is to %e^-fou?d-cor-tain narrow ganged partisan Negroes who would rather defeat a persona opponent than to virr t!.e battle f. r tne race and who 1 join with ibe woites to undo a distinguished Negro spokesman out of personal spite and spleen.?Alas, that it is so. By ftU method the white race has lost ' confidence jn all Negro leudefhhl|Y. Such men of little souls rejoice with ghoulosh glee whatever may seem to cmhowraaa- the-antagoniat whom they "* .

Atlanta Ecumenical Conference 1 i (Special to The Leader) ?The Sixth session Ot the Methodist ~ liicumenical Conference Has passed into history. This Conference, meet-l! ing once in ten years, represents ' lwcntv-_two divisions of world-wide ^ Methodism. Five hundred fity delegates and a large number of visitors from all parts of the world were pre- ' sent. The closing exercises were treid in the city auditorium, in the [ presence of six thousand people, on Sunday, October twenty-fifth. The , program consisted of opening, reli- j gious services, followed by an ad.dress setting forth the accomplish- ,J ments of the Conference, and out- ! lining plans for closer cooperation and much more efficient service to all. mankind in the future. After a short musical?interlude?given?by a?eem? pany of students of Emory College, the audience listened in rapt attention to a radio address from President Hoover in Washington. He was followed by a stirring address given, in person by Vice President Charles Curtis. Among the outstanding deolartions I of the Conference, which was composed of 'Bishops, Editors, College President, Ministers and distinguished Laymen were calls for "Wider Hu"roan-^Relationshipsf-World-wide Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic; Universal Peace; Disarmament; Ameri- 1 can support of the League of Na- < tions; Christian Forbearance with Germany, and Methodism's responsibility to the Non-Christian World. ?As a means of closer -arrronr^aTTtb ^ greater efficiency, two large committee were appointed, one for the East and che other for the West, to establish a suitable paper to supply news and publish reports from the .field, and outline larger programs'for th^ early conquest of the world in the name cf Jesus Christ.?All delegates. foreign delegates in particular, were < most henrty in expressions of appreciation of the many courtesies and, t he ncrous. hospitality shown them 1 by. the people of Atlanta, Vice President Curtis and his official associate Dr. James Shera Mont- , feoroery,'- Chaplain of the House of Representatives, were given a royal reception at ;the Atlanta-Biltmore Hotel. Foreign delegates expressed appreciation for the opportunity to meet one of the most distinguished ollicials of?the Government.?The uiegoing outline of the activities of 1 the Conference would not be ; com- ' plete without reference to "Heaven Hound;" a play staged inthe utty auditorium as a contribution of the colored people of Atlanta to the entertainment of the delegates to the Con- = Terence: The play Is a fine "currcep- ' tion of the experiences of people who _J play opens with a very attractive j stage setting.
