PARAGRAPHICS CURRENT NEWS AND OPINION (By X. Mabie Wright) Mrs. Haynes. The Y.W.C.A. Indiana's Hybrid Party. Mixed Schools. What Is Orthodox? Our teaching fruits later than it should because we do too much of it by theory and command and far too little of it by example and practce.i The appointment of Mrs. George Haynes as a member of the executive board of the Y.M.C.A. is a very befitting recognition of her ability and worth. Additionally, it gives the race the attention and representation that it deserves in the organization in which race women are doing splendid work. The Y.W.C.A. is entitled to life, sympathy and support. Its mission is noble. A more judicious selection of local executives and a real interest in and a constant effort to touch and help the ordinary and the neglected girls and women would make it a more popular and powerful institution. Indiana has focused the eyes of the whole country upon herself. She holds teh center of the political stage because of her liaison with the Ku Kluxs. It is dongerous company that she has chosen. The shameful surrender of the G.O.P. to the Knights of the Invisible Empire puts the test squarely to all real patriots within the party. The true blue Americans must either purge the ranks of the incubus or desert the old party for more decent company. We must first of all have a united country. It is as true now as it was in the days of Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Given control and sway, the Invisible Empire would divide this country by arousing racial and religious animosity and strife. America has paid for union and peace in the most precious coin of the realm - the lives of loved ones. May the forces of union and accord prevail. The ideal conditions would be mixed schools. But until conditions change in this country the best thing is, some schools mixed and some separate. A careful study of the real facts - the real facts - would perhaps cool the ardor of those who are having spams about separate schools. Mixed school minus so many things that Negro children should have are perhaps worse than separate schools plus so many things that Negro boys and girls should have. That was a unique answer which Bishop Brown gave to his Episcopal Brethren at Cleveland the other day. On trial for heresy, the aged prelate said that he believed every word in the Bible from cover to cover. Then where could the hesesy come in? Right here. "But," said the accused Bishop. "I place my own interpretation on the Bible." And Bishop Brown's interpretation did not agree with that enjoined by the Episcopal Church. The nineteenth century does not differ so much from the fourteenth in its attitude toward intellectual freedom. What is Right? Who are Orthodox? What is the Final Authority? Not even the Bible so long as men cannot agree as to what it means.

RAY WILLIAMS. The young man whose likeness appears above, a student at Simmons University from out in the State. Williams made his way through the term just closed by making part time in the office of the Leader, and little jobs here and there. Williams is ambitious and energetic and should be encouraged in his effort to make a real worth while man of himself. The Leader management is giving hom a permanent position during the vacation days that he may be able to get through the next term at Simmons much easier than the last. Williams is connected with the circulation department and is to look after the collecting from those of the city whose renewal subscriptions became due during the month of January ary, February, March, April, May and June and from those whose subscriptions are long past due. We know our readers will be courteous to this young man when he calls, and will pay him without having him make so many visits. All should feel it a pleasure to pay a young colored boy who has charge of the collecting by one of their own newspapers, and more encouraged because of the fact that they are helping the young fellow get an education to help himself, his race, his community, his nation.
