»PEAKING OF THE COLOR LINE
Walter Cohen ia the Federal Col­
lector ot the port of New Orleans.
He ta a Republican, an Afro-Ameri­
can. a man ot education, a man of
wealth and is said to have certain
qualities of leadership AU the Dem
ncratic Senators and four or five ot
♦he LaFollette . following
voted
against Cohen's confirmation. They
had no fault to find with him. except
hts color. It was black and not
shite. This is a white mans conn
•ry and it should be a white man’s
government. according to these high
minded statesmen who fought confir­
mation to the last ditch.
President Warren G, Harding sent
•he nomination of Cohen to the Sen
ate more than two years before he
died. It was rejected two or three
times. President Coolidge repeated
Republican leaders dose to him ad
vised the President to let Cohen slide
and name another. He refused to
budge. Finally a showdown came and
cohen was confirmed by a scant ma
Jority.
This is presidential electon year.
There are two million negro voters
tn the pivotal states and the border
states Their leaders demanded fair
play and a square deal for Cohen
This is a Saint Patrick s Day obser
ration: Where and bow did the Ne­
gro Collector of the Port of New Or
leans get that name? And why not
Abraham Cohen, instead of Walter.
The above editorial from the Austin
American is very significant in sev­
eral respects. It is admitted that
Walter L. Cohen, who was confirmed
as Collector of the Port ot New Or­
leans. La., has both character and
ability, and in fact, is qualified in
every respect with one exception—
HIS COLOR—to fill the position to
which he has been appointed. Mr.
Cohen la not responsible for his
color or his name, but he is responsi­
ble for his character. Character Is
the quality that makes the heaven
gates fly wide and nothing else.
If the people of this country will
give more attention to CHARACTER
and lews to COLOR, we will have
fewer Teapot Dome Oil and other
scandals now engaging the attention
of the world.
People who hare nothing but
COLOR to boast of as a qualification
of fitness to fill high positions, are
like the man who built his house on
a sandy foundation.
Talk about this being a White
Man’s Country. Pray tell us whose
country it was when brave men were
needed to face German shot shell
and gas? Who paid the supreme
price that democracy might be made
safe? Who shed the first blood for
American Independence? Crispus At­
tacks on the plains of Boston.
In fact the Black Man has been
found on the side of right in every
conflict in the world.
Even when
Jesus Christ, the Son of the living
God, was making His way to the sum­
mit of Golgatha. a Black Man in the
person of Simon the Sirenian got un­
der the cross with Him.
In every
conflict since and before the Black
Man haa played his part.
We wonder by what process of rea­
soning does any man place COLOR
above CHARACTER, except that of
prejudice and race hatred. No peo­
ple can permanently advance who
carry prejudice and hatred In thetr
hearts against any other people be­
cause of things they are not responsi­
ble for.
We hope the day will come when
ell men will decide to do unto oth­
ers as they would have others do un­
to them—The People's M outhplece.
