minister to Hayti, conceded to the

race under Republican and Demo

cratic administrations alike. In

deed he had pressed to swell his

list to respectable proportions that

he included colored members of the

Board of Education of the District

of Columbia. It is indeed interest

ing that he seems disposed to play

politics with the public schools.

Ordinarily we expect to keep poli

tics out of education and relgion.

But comparisons are odious. We

are told that Woodrow Wilson

took from the race the register

ship of the Treasury, an assistant

attorney generalship, the auditor

of the Navy and the minister

tlon to Hayti. But why did he not

tell us that the Republican party

has failed to restore these impor

tant posts after ten years’ resto

ration to power? Did Dr. Haw

kins forget that President *Wilson

appointed colored men as special

assistants to the Secretary of War

and Secretary of Labor? Did it

occur to him that’ the last Demo

cratic President issued over six

hundred commissions to coh red

men, a number which transcends j

all of the commissions issued to

Negroes by Republican Presidents

from Abral am Lincoln to Herbert!

Hoover? Dr. Hawkins is adept in

extolling the virtues of his, client j

and denouncing the vices of his

adversary. Some Southern Demo-1

crats introduce in Congress un-!

friendly bills against the Negro.!

Dr. Hawkins knows that no such

bill ever got beyond the congress

ional pigeon hole, even under six

teen years of eDmocratic rule. Hs

probably would not like to be re

minded that the only anti-Negro!
