POOR PRAISE.
In the July Crisis appears an edi
torial on Lincoln which though In
tended probably as commendatory
1b couched In such language as to
give an almost opposite Impression.
It begins thus: "Abraham Lincoln
was a Southern poor white of 11-"c-rltlmate
birth." It ends y saying
jie was a man a big inconsistent
brave man."
Probably it was the intention of
the author to heighten the effect
of his goodness by contrasting 11
w ith his unfortunate beginning which
is surmised not known however tht
may be the choice was unfortunate.
Lincoln is enHhrined in the hearts
of all Americans as a great
and good man. His contribution to
the welfare of this country and his
-death in its service removes hi:-
name from among ordinnry men.
Why smirch bis memory by drag-
ging into puollc view the unfortu-
nate side of his lire. To argue thus
Is almost to place a premium upon
illegitimacy. To smirch his mem-
ory Is a sacrilege. "
Contrasts often serve good pur-
poses but. this particular one appeals
to us as most unkind ard altogether
unfortunate.

Under the caption of "A Citizen Worth While" the Dalla3
Morning News tells the following story of a Texas Negro farmer:
"John Fields is a Negro. He has no education to speak of.
lie attends strictly to his own business. But JVhn Fields is
"good" for anything he want3 at any merchandising establish-
ment in the tov.-n where he does his buying and selling. He owns
his own home and he has money in bank. And he did it himself
with the help of his wife. .
The explanation is two foil In th first place Fields works.
In the second place he has something to sell every month in the
year. He runs a twelve-month farm instead of a three-month
or six-month farm. He doesn't go into winter quarters nor "lay
by" his crops. He always has a crop of something coming on. If
it isn't apples it's berries and if it isn't berries there are toma-
toes and peaches and fall garden truck. Fields plant. winter tur-
nips on his corn land and fall beans on his cotton land imd makes
his soil bring him in $200 to $300 an acre. And then when crops
of that sort give out Fields sells cordwood.
It isnH all easy sailing for Fields. Fields things he would like
to go fishing. At lea ;t he says that he "laid off" to go fishing
as soon as he got his home paid out. But by that time he had the
habit of working until he couldn't find time for a vacation.
But he found out how to grow a year-round income on a farm.
That is a discovery which a great
learned. He has found too. that
down to the last square foot than to scrath around over a section
or two and have nothing much to show for it. There are lots of
farmers who would profit by that discovery also. Not that Fields
is trying to obtrude his discoveries on anybody. He's too busy.
But as a citizen that doesn't make John Jf ieias any tne less worm
while. If there were more of his race like him it would be a
great thing for both races in this part of the country."
It is true that such men are worth while. They are the back-
bone of our civilization whether they be white or black and at;
least as far as Negroes are concerned the number is increasing
rapidly. And as the number increases the well-being of the com
munities in which they live increases.
Strange it is that the value

which they build up with such painstaking toil cannot be guaran-J

Verily truth m this case is stronger than fiction.
MINISTERS
AND
A few weeks azo during the
in New York a group of ministers formed a clique for the pur-
pose cf "hooting down" Dr. W. E. B. DuBois who was scheduled
to address that body. It is alleged that these ministers had be-
come angered at a criticism of the church ascribed to Dr. Du.-
Bois which appeared- in a recent

ters those who lead in preaching chanty of thought and action
those who are because of their calling expected to be most ready
to practice charity should choose such an undignified way of ex-
pressing their disapproval of a personage is almost unthinkable.
It would appear that if there were any deep seated opposition
to the appearance of any man in their midst knowing before hand
of his coming definite and courteous steps would have been taken
to prevent his speech. Otherwise he should have been courteously
received. ;
The time has passed when any man or movement can be con-
sidered above criticism. Men have opinions and having been

Too often we mistake criticism for enmity. Too often we al
low ourselves to let the personal element get uppermost in our
considerations of men and measures. As long as this is so we
will fail of full development for upon differences of opinion has
the world been founded and because of such differences does it
still make its progress.
In a bygone day high churchmen were above criticism. The
laity realizing its absolute leadership along all lines did not ques
tion its ability to plan well and to do wisely. Such conduct may be
considered to have been a heritage from by gone days when
church and state were one and
But such now is not the case. Diversification of industries

question everything to demand that all men and their measures

Christian doctrines nor does it smack of heresy. It is a product

DEATH RATE AOTJG NEGROES DECLINING.
A remarkable decline in t'u s mortals y of Negroes has taken
place in the last ten years accordirg to tne recoros of the Metro-
politan Insurance Company. This company has more than 1600-
000 policyholders throughout the entire United States. In 1911
the death rate was 17.50 per 1000
1000 a drop o: 25 per cent. Taeia would have been 7000 more
deaths among Negro policyholders than atcually occurred in 1921
if the 1911 death rate had prevailed in that year.
According to the Statical Bulletin :
'This marked decline on analysis can be traced to improve'
ment in the death rates f rom tubercu-osis pneumonia heart dis-
ease Bright? disease malaria typhoid fever and pellagra. .
"The improvement in the mortality of Negroes i3 not localiz-
ed. So far as the experience of the Metropolitan indicates it repre-
sents a very broad mo Tement affecting virtually all ureas. Scarce-
ly a state but shows a decided decline.
"As late as 1916 there were 56 local ai-eas where the Com-
pany's Colored business showed mortalify rates above 17.5 per
1000. The record lor 1921 shows only 15 such localities. In 1916
there wee 30 centers with rates in excess of 19.0 per 1000. Ir.
1921 no such rate was experienced anywhere. It is noteworthy
that tbi public health movement which has" been so successful
with reference to the white people is also making its imprss upon
the Colored. The Negro death rate however is still so high as to
show glaring deficices i& the health provisions for these people.
Thtj'idcts for the last ten years show clearly that the derln rates
of this race can readily be improved. There is all the more neces-
sity for intensification of the services specially applicable to these
people. In this connection much is promised ly the apparent de-
sire of the insurance companies administered by Negroes them-
selves to lead in the development of public-health work and wel-
fcre services amonar iheir ov.n people." -
Gratifying though such stalement3 are they sorve more to
show just how babdly Negroes need improvement in their living
conditions.

' WHITE AUSTRALIA IN. PERIL.
It appera that Australia Is not a unit for excluding the Colored race.
The latest pronouncment on the matter comes from H. N. Barwell Prime
Minister of South Australia who recently visited this country. Mr. Bar-
well states frankly that be and many of his supporters are In favor of mi-
tigating the policy In so far as the Northern Territory Is concerned. Their
plan is to put in force restrictive Immigration of laborers whd ean HVe-
and work In tropical climates so that the world at large cannot say that
Australia Is keeping out of use a vast land of Incalculable value which it
can never hope to develop under the present policy.
It need hardly be said that this policy is In direct conflict not only
with the views of most Australians but with the teachings of history. To
admit Chinese or Japanese to Australia would lead either to a mingling' of
Aiiglo-Sason and Oriental blood or to age long ropugnance and conflict. In
fact It would almost certainly make Australia In time essentially the yel-
low man's land an appendage not of Europe but of Asia. Once the flood
gates were opened It would be impossible to hold back the Asiatic hordes.
More far seeing is the agreement recently concluded between the Ital-
ian and British Governments providing for an extensive emigration of Ital-
ian farmers to Australia. This means that the Governments at London
and Melbourne have abandoned the
favor of a Caucasian Australia but a
promise of racial conflict. And it would have the advantage or ruling up
the waste places' quickly and so relieving the pressure for the admission
of Orientals.

The fault Is partly due to the primitive savage that hides within us

also to the failure of our form ff government through Its wide dispersion

SENATOR LODGE AND
Because Senator Lodge Is urging the passage of the Dyer anti-lynch-ing
bill the New York World sees him in a panle and bidding for the Ne-
gro vote to help him out. Mr. Lodge says the World knows the Conati-
tption and can "repeat it backward forward and sidewlse. He knows that
the Dyer bill is a pure fake for politics only."
Eight Republicans on the Senate Judiciary committee voted to report
th bill favorably. Mr. Borah and five Democrats voted against it. Ac-
cording to the World every one of those eight Republicans except Mr.
Shortridge of California rega 'ds the proposed law as " unconstitutional.
Among them is Mr. Brandegee of Connecticut. In 1916 Mr. Bradsgee op-
posed passage of the chili labor law on the ground that it was unconstitu-
tional. Mr. Brandegee voted against the Leagne of Nations with reserva-
tions and .'Kalnst the ieague without reservations. He didn't change great-
ly after M- Harding came in; he Insisted on t reservation to the four-
power treaty. Even those who detest Mr. Brsndegee's views admit he
fights in the open. Is it likely that he. will support "fake" legislation Just

The only explanation for this attempt to destroy the mayor of Cilum-

city manager had a narrow escape from violent death recently as ft pre-
liminary probably to the murder of the mayor.
But the explanation is enough. It is not dissimilar to the reasons
which southern mobs usually give for violating the law. Certain lawless in-

BEAUTY TALKS BY A NILE QUEEN
" 1
Greetlngs Oh Keekers of beauty!
TblB July sun beats warmly down

Is it natural or is it a smear?
A good complexion is above all
things' to be desired. Rosseau said
"No woman can be ugly who has
good teeth" and we add from long
observation and experience she is'nt
hard on the eyes when she has that
clear unblotched skin and firm soft
flesh that we're all struggling to
achieve. And right now. let me say
that while good creams -cannot be
surpassed yet we never heard that
they could do a physician's work.
If you are ruining your complexion
as a result of your unwise choice
of foods get your stomach right while
you are attempting to get the pimples
and blackheads out with creams and
lotions. No wise person will ry to

The Mind In The Making."
By James Harey KoMnson.
Published by Harper & Brothers New
York City. Price $2.50. Postage lOcts
Creative intelligence. In Its various
forms and activities Is what makes
man." So says" one of the wisest writ-
ers of today in his book "The Mind
In The Making" a book which has
the great asset of making us use our
minds when we read It.
There is nothing In Professor Robin
son's book directly on race ques-
tion but his whole argument is a crit-f-Msm
of prejudice and a demand for
intelligent thought. We have he tells
ui: first "revery" that spontaneous
formof thinking when we allow our
mind to trave where it will. Next

It Is the effort to make everything
square with our ready-mar's little
thought out conclusions. Much ra-
tionalizing "consists in finding argu-
ments for going on b"liavi.g as we al
nady do." And lastly we Lave crea-
tive thinking the highest form of
though the thought which has trans-
formed the world.
To the creative thinker nothing Is
sacred that is nothing is right just is
cause it has been. "That an idea is
undent and that it has been widely
received Is agument in Its favor
should immediately suggest the nec-
ceuslty of carefully testing It as a
probable Instance of rationalization."
The creative thinker Is the one who Is
ready to chage his mind. .
Professor Robinson fills his book
with interesting examples of creative
thinkers who have shown their great-
ness by quectioning the past and
thinking new thoughts for the future.
He reviews Greek history poitlng cut
that the Greeks were great because
of their lnquisitiveness their readi-
nest to accept new thingR. They had
mass of precedent bach 'f them and
were thus better able thai the church
men of the middle Ages or the poli-
tician of today to look keenly Into
life and to tell honestly whrt they
found. Their weakntr-s lay In their
potion of aristontcy which prevented
their Btuding mechanics or mechanical

tleman and left to the slave. That

' Knowledge became altogether ratlon-
allzing. Men started with the proposi-
.tlon of Aristotle and work from them.
The eternal postulates were always
there. And now we are in an age when
along the lines of scienco men think
creatively but when along the lines
latlon of man to man "men sllll large-
ly rationalize.
Professor Robinson docs not use
the South an illustration but It
would be an excellent one. The South
assumes that' a certain attitude to-
ward the Negro the assumption that
he Is Inferior that black and white
must noe Intermingle is a absolute
truth. It 1b a eternal proposition not
to.be question but always to be de-
feated. Starting out with this proposi-
tion stops creative thinking and the
South becomes as menken Jibs said
a desert of Sahara. And what is true
of the Southern attitude on the race
question is true of. us all in various
ways. Unless we have an open mind
ready to search for the truth no mat-
ter what It cost us we do not live tho

have recently come. "Believing Is far
