NATIONAL PARK TO OPEN EARLY Yellowstone National Park Opened Already Says Park's Director National parks will open two weeks earlier than usual this year, because of the mildness of the past season and the absence of heavy snows which would bar the parks from use, according to a bulletin from the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club. This opening date was announced March 30, by the superintendent of Yellowstone park and assistant director of the park service, Horace M. Albright. This will be good news to the automobile tourists, who make up the great majority of the more than 2,000,000 sightseers who yearly visit the parks. There will be new things to see this year. Probably the outstanding feature will be the opening up of the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. For scores of years the tourist has seen the canyon only from the south rim. It has been accessible from the Arizona side only, but now it may be viewed from the north. On that side the cliffs are a thousand feet higher than on the south; the country is wilder; the timber heavier. This year for the first time, tourists may cross the canyon by riding mules down the rugged Kalibah trail, across a swinging bridge, and up on the south side. A number of new roads will be opened up this season, one of them in Zion park, on which $1,300,000 is being spent in eight miles, a mile and a half of which is through tun- NEW YORK, May 3.—In an article on "The Negro's Influence As a Voter," published in the May number of "Current History" Herbert J.

The colored machine politicians in Washington "no longer control the (By Associated Negro Press) JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 3—Demonstration of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and its leadership was the high point of discussion at a reception and banquet held by the Pullman porters of this city in the porters' quarters last week. One hundred eight porters were present, nine of these being outsiders. Porter W. L. Thompson, chairman of the safety committee, presided. Following the banquet and speeches by different porters, Porter S. Harper, secretary of the Pullman Porters Benefit association of America, offered a resolution which called for recognition of the bonds of sympathy and helpfulness between the Pullman porter and the Pullman company and expressing the belief that if the porters were loyal to the company the company would stand by them. The resolution was passed. The Loyal Porters club of this city offered the following resolution which was signed by 302 of the 340 porters in Jacksonville: "We, the undersigned Pullman porters of Jacksonville, realizing the condition that we are placed in by the so-called movement to organize the Pullman porters, and feeling that said movement has lowered the standard of some of the porters of our district, and caused loyal men to be blamed, take this method of showing our loyalty to the company and our appreciation for all that has been done for us. We further denounce this so-called movement of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. We are aware of the fact that quite a few were misted by a false and radical self-styled leader, but we promise and swear to do all in our power to defeat the whole object of this so-called leader." The porters of Jacksonville defrauded the expenses of the meeting, Custodian P. S. Sims lifting the collection. Woman Loses Leg In Trying To Beat Train (BY Associated Negro Press) BIRMINGHAM, May 3.

Even in har away Alaska a road is being cut into Mount McKinley National park, gradually opening up more of the wild scenery of his far northern spot. New hotels are being established. transportation facilities are being increased, and it is estimated that the number of national park visitors will reach 3,000,000 this year. Another easy way for a member of Congress to get a little extra publicity is to think up a crazier Muscle Choals bill. We trust that the reorganized Radio Commission may assign all the static to station which broadcast punk programs. BECOMING MORE OF ALL PARTIES of Publicity Sees New Political Life Among the United States situation among colored voters as it was once supposed they did," says Mr. Seligmann. "An agitation has been going on, widespread and insistent, among Negroes throughout the country in favor of a more independent ballot. . . . Even republican congressmen have been advising Negroes publicly to watch their representatives on specific issues affecting the Negro race and to hold those representatives, whether republican or democrat, strictly to account."

Green, president of the National Hospital association, has issued an announcement calling attention of the Negro hospitals of the country to the observation of "National Hospital Day."

Louisville Fights Park Segregation LOUISVILLE, May 3.—A citizens' committee headed by J. R. Ray and I. Willis Cole has recently presented to the city park board and the mayor a protest against the rule forbidding Negroes the use of all parks in the city. The committee reported that little progress was made although the mayor and the members of the board received the committee members cordially. It was represented in the protest that refusal to allow colored citizens the freedom of the parks was not only un-American, but contrary to the principles upon which the city was founded, in that the rights and privileges of loyal, self-respecting, law-sabiding citizens are abridged and curtailed. PRICES LOWER DORING MARCH Small Decrease Noted By Dept. of Labor On Wholesale Prices Last Month general level of prices in March was slightly lowe than in February, according to information collected in representative markets by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor. The bureau's weighted index number, computed on prices in the year 1926 as the base and including 550 commodities or price series, stands at 96.0 for March compared with 96.4 for February, a decrease of nearly one-half of 1 per cent. Compared with March, 1927, with an index number of 94.5, an increase of $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent is shown. Farm Products Decline Farm products as a group declined nearly 1 per cent from the February level, due largely to price decreases for cattle, eggs and tobao. Grains, cotton, hay and potatoes on the other hand were higher than in February. Foods as a whole declined slightly, as did fue and lighting materials, chemicals and drugs, and miscellaneous commodities. Little or no change in the price level was reported for other commodity groups, including hides and leather products, textile products, metals and metal products, building materials and housefurnishing goods. 10f the 50 commodities or price series for which comparable information for February and March was collected, increases were shown in 147 instances and decreases in 110 instances. In 293 instances no change in price was reported. Comparing prices in March with those of a year ago, as measured by changes in the index number, it is seen that farm products and hides and leather products were considerably higher while foods and textile products were somewhat higher. Minor increases were shown for metals and metal products and housefurnishing goods. Fuel and lighting materials, owing to decreases in bituminous coal, coke and petroleum products, were 10 per cent cheaper than in March, 1927. A small decrease is shown for chemicals and drugs, with larger decreases for building materials and miscellaneous commodities.

JUSTICE ASKED FOR NEGRO BY COLLEGE PREXY JUSTICE ASKED FOR NEGRO BY COLLEGE PREXY President James Shepherd of North Carolina College Makes Strong Appeal DURHAM, N. C., May 1. — Speaking before a large gathering of students and faculty members at venerp service, at Duke university Sunday afternoon, Dr. James E. Shepard, president of North Carolina College for Negroes, made an impassioned plea for a square deal for the American Negro. Pointing out the difficulty of the white man placing himself in the position of the Negro and his consequent inability to understand the Negro's viewpoint and needs, Dr. Shepard enumerated some of the rights to which the race believed itself entitled. Justice in the courts of the land he named as a primary need. It was pointed out by the speaker that juries were almost invariably made up of whites, and that thus, rarely did the Negro at the bar of justice have a chance for a fair and impartial trial. That "the Negro will steal" has been repeated so often that it is the common accepted measure of the morals of the race. "Yet," declared Dr. Shepard, "a garrific steal like the Tea Pot Dome, three million railway mail robbery, etc., may take place, in which more is stolen than a similar group of Negroes could or would steal in a life-time, without sigmatting the white race as a race of thieves." The Negro is entitled to a much fairer estimate of his character than those based upon such generalizations as these, was the opinion eloquently expressed by Dr. Shepard. "The Right To Vote" That the right to vote was essential to the Negro's welfare, not only that he might share in political privileges, but that he might share more equitably in civic improvements such as better streets, paving, sewage, etc., was also brought out and stressed by the speaker. "I make this impassioned plea for a square deal for the Negro to the thousands of young white students in this audience because you are now preparing to become the judges, lawyers, ministers, legislators, and employers in this country within the next few years. "The destiny of the race will be in your hands then. I ask of you to consider and handle the questions involving the Negro, not on the basis of special consideration, but on the basis of equitable and fair consideration. Consider the Negro as a citizen; treat him as an American citizen. "I assure you that the Negro will stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the solution of American problems. All he asks is a square deal. Give him an opportunity to share full American citizenship and he will shoulder his responsibilities eagerly and honestly." Aged woman Dragged By Street Car; Is Hurt (By Preston News Service) ATLANTA, May 3.—Mrs. Mary Gardner, aged woman, was painfully bruised when she was dragged several feet by a Buckhead one-man street car, after her clothing had caught in the door of the car Wednesday at Peachtree street and Collier road.

STUDENTSTO REPEAT PLAY Virginia Street School To Repeat Operatta May 10; Request of Patrons In response to many requests, the operetta, "Pocahontas" will be repeated May 10 at Froebel auditorium by students of Virginia street school, according to an announcement made today by Prof. H. Theo. Tatum, principal. Headed by a cast of well-trained boys and girls, the operetta created considerable comment when it was first presented last month at Virginia street school. Miss Leota Semmes, director of music at Virginia street school, supervised the operetta, which was declared to have been one of the most successful school affairs of the current season. Story Kill in Legend The operetta is based upon the old and familiar story of Pocahontas and Capt. John Smith, for whose life the beautiful Indian madden, immortalized in poem and song, offered herself in cacrifice. Holding a peculiar appeal for children, the story of Pocahontas and Capt. Smith was successfully made into an operetta some years ago, of which the same version will be used by Virginia street school students under the direction of Miss Semmes. Making an appeal for public endorsement, members of the faculty of Virginia street school announced today that everyone is urged to attend the performance of "Pocahontas". An opportunity to hear an entertaining musical program of a rare nature is promised when the operatta is presented here on the date given, it was said.

Man Who Planned Jail Break In Local Jail To Be Presented To Full Extent, Claim A plot to "shoot his way out of jail", where he had been taken on a change of drunkenness, probably will result in a heavier sentence for Elder Johnson, 33, 1621 Jackson street, than he would have been gassed on had not the plot been successfully frustrated by Gary Police Sunday night. Johnson was arrested by Detonitive Sergeants Lama and Kidwell at Pitfitz and Madison on a charge of drunkenness. Taken to the city jail, he was searched and then placed behind the barge to await his trial. In searching him, however, police overtook a .32 revolver which Johnson had in his clothing, and which he planned to use in a plot to "shoot his way out." Confides in Fellow-Prisoner But Johnson talked too much. He told a fellow prisoner of his plan, who notified police that Johnson had a gun in his possession and was planning on shooting his way out of his cell. When informed of the plot, police disarmed Johnson, thus preventing what might have been one of the most daring and fatal jail-breaks in Lake county history. Police regard Johnson as an offender of the worst type. Efforts will be made to prosecute him to the full extent of the law, with the result that Johnson will probably be given a much greater penalty for carrying concealed weapons, and complying to meet arrest than he would have just getting drunk. WOLF HOUND ATTACKS MAN Mob Threatens Driver When Car Runs Wild, Wounds Three; Kills Child (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK. May 3. — Hubert S. Jones, owner of a wolf hound, was the victim of the dog's viciousness last week while driving through 142rd street. Jones, with the dog in the sedan, was on his way to attend to urgent business when suddenly the dog leaped on him and drove his sharp teeth into his master's arm. Suddenly the car swerved, as Jones sought to protect himself from the animal's attack and in swerving from the roadway, ran onto the sidewalk into a group of women and children. Jacqueline Phillips, six, was crushed against a railing and killed. Serene Williams, thirty, was knocked down, cut and bruised, as was another woman whose identity could not be established. A mob gathered quickly and attacked Jones at the scene of the accident and Patrolman Frank Guiselman of the West 126th street station had to hold them at bay with a pistol, shielding Jones in a doorway until reserves arrived to handle the crowd. Jones locked up was charged with homicide, said that while he was nibbling on a cracker the dog attempted to bite him.

FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 MADDEN DEATH CAUSES UNREST IN 'WINDY CITY' Selection Of Successor Cases Confusion In Political Circles (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO. MAG. 3. — The sudden and untimely death of Congressman Martin B. Madden Friday has caused much confusion in political circles here. This is especially true with regard to the selection of a successor of the Republican nominee. Although there is much difference of opinion expressed as to the modus operandi, the general opinion seems to be that the Republican committee of Cook county will appoint the nominee for the party, in the November elections. This committee is dominated by Mayor William Hale Thompson and it is believed that the mayor will seek the appointment of either Bishop Archbold (Jarvey of Oscar DePriest). It is pointed out, however, that the appointment would have to be ratified by the election board, which is controlled by the Dennen wing of the republican party. Congressman Madden died in his office at the Capitol Friday afternoon from a heart attack. His passing was sudden, unexpected and was a distinct shock to Washington and the nation. When the congressman went to his office Friday morning he was apparently in good health. He had attended the meeting of the appropriations committee, of which he was chairman and was in the best of spirits. Representative Madden was elected to the fifty ninth congress and every successive congress thereafter and was candidate for re-election in November. During his tenure of office he established himself as a true friend of the Negro race and was at all times championing the cause of the Negro citizens throughout the country. His interest in the progress of Howard university and Freedman's Hospital was manifested in the continued battle which he waged to increase the annual appropriation. When Representative Madden was elected the institutions were repiving less than $50,000. The last appropriation to Howard university alone, was more than $300,000. Other acts on his part stamped him as a Representative not only of the Negro constituency that was responsible for his election but of the twelve million Negroes in the United States. Leaders Mourn His Loss Political leaders, educators and common folk mourn his loss. Bishop Archibald Carey, who was a close friend of the Congressman, in a statement to the Associated Negro Press declared: "I sincerely regret the passing of Congressman Madden, and consider See How Many Rides You Can Take Sunday On a Pass for 25c on Gary Railways We serve Gary-Hammond Indiana Harbor Hobart the Gary Beach As many trips to these places as you wish to take for a quarter.

Five hundred persons were present at the conference. his passing as very untimely as well as unfortunate as I know him, working heart and soul for the passage of the bill for flood relief, in which we as a group are so sincerely concerned. "My thirty years acquaintance with him stamps him in my memory as a man of sterling character and absolute identity. I do not think there is another man in the United States congress who will take his place in the outstanding defense he always made for the rights of the Negro." Effords were made to get state,ments from Oscar DePriest, and Alderman Louis B. Anderson, also a formidable possibility for the place. DePriest and Alderman Anderson however, were in West Baden when latest reports have them hurrying home. White Commissioner Edward H.

REPUBLICANISM OR DEMAGOGISM? Republicanism or demagogism? That is the question which the colored people of Gary must decide for themselves in Tuesday's election. Will they be swayed by the insincere appeals of those who are posing as their friends to get their votes? Will they be mislead by those who, in this campaign, have sought to inflame their passions in the advancement of their personal interests? Do you want recognition, protection, and a chance to enjoy greater rights as a taxpayer? Do you want effective representation in Washington and Indianapolis as well as in Crown Point? These are questions for you to decide. They are questions which you MUST decide when you go to the polls Tuesday morning to cast your ballot. By all means, go to the polls and vote. Don't wait for anybody to come along in an automobile to take you. Go early and vote! NEW NOTE HEARD A new note is being heard from many sources among the Negroes of Lake county. At first hearing, it sounds strang and almost like a joke, but investigation shows that there is a rapidly growing feeling of mistrust on the part of the colored people throughout the country as to the sincerity of the promises of leaders of the republican party in Lake county. There is being uttered in no uncertain terms a great deal of doubt as to the fairness of certain political leaders and the value of their promises. Lost confidence in the party means lost support of the race. It is now certain that the nomination of William W. Cooke will be necessary by the republicans of this county to restore confidence and guarantee anything like large support from the colored people this fall especially since it seems that Al Smith will be nominated in Houston on the first ballot. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF VOTING On the face of things, there are indications that many local Negro citizens may not vote in the primary a fortnight hence. Any citizen who fails to use his or her privilege to vote is a contributor to malfeasance in government administration, wherein unscrupulous minorities are allowed the opportunity to control the reins of government, particularly in local affairs. We observe with all its faults or flaws our governmental institutions are the best of any nation on earth. The fallacies are really in the matter of our administrators of government. The people at their discretion have the power to remedy these fallacies. Suffrage—universal in our country (?)—is the concentric base of our political scheme. And the best results or benefits of our government will evolve from a discreet use of the right to vote. The most condemnable condition is one wherein citizens do not vote when or where the opportunity is available. A majority of the people, who do not vote are always ready to condemn harass government officials or administrations. The same individuals could do a lot in a constructive way by urging all citizens to vote, every time and all time. The American citizen with his right of suffrage has a power or responsibility not to be found in any nation or time. All this particularly applies to Negro citizens, who have the opportunity to vote and fail to vote, or use this opportunity in behalf of their interests or rights in governmental affairs. Every now and then Negro people elsewhere, wail in tears of hypocrisy over the fact that Negroes do not vote in various southern states. Most of these same Negro people do not use their vote to protect or promote their best interests in government. And probably one-fourth of the Negro people in the north, who have the opportunity to vote fail to exercise this right and obligation. If every citizen in the land used his right to vote discreetly, we would have good government administration by sound and same officials. When only two or three citizens in three or four are interested enough in politics to "follow through," we cannot have the best in government administration. We can or will have good government administration when a majority of the possible voters, every place, join in and "follow through." The obligation of every citizen to exercise his or her right of suffrage discreetly, is essential to the well-being and continuity of government by the people and for the people. JUSTICE IS NOT RACIAL (New Orleans State) Three recent instances in which justice was done in the courts of Louisiana to members of the colored race, though whites were involved in the troubles, are worth citing in view of the impression which exists in some parts of the north that the Negro gets no show at all. Not long ago in New Orleans a number of white men became involved in a quarrel with a party of colored persons in an automobile. The latter were chased, one of the whites drew a gun and fired and an innocent colored woman was killed. The white culprit was prosecuted before a jury composed of whites and convicted of manslaughter. Recently the board of pardons took up the case of a Negro who had been convicted of murder in a northern parish and was about to be hanged. The board went thoroughly into the testimony, coneluded that the verdict was unjust and recommended commutation of the sentence. Gov. Simpson approved the recommendation and the accused did not hang. This week a colored farmer was found murdered on the levee near his home in East Carroll parish. Sheriff Bass picked up clues that led to the arrest of a white farmer. Under a strong examination the latter confessed, was indicted, pleaded guilty, and in less than forty-eight hours was in the penitentiary beginning a life term. We cannot too highly commend the course of the authorities in these cases. It gives warning that judges and juries and those who hold the pardoning power mean to see that the colored citizen is to be protected in the rights under the law, which is as it should be. EFFICIENCY IN MOBBISM (Pittsburgh Courier) Long the leader in the Lynching League, it was only natural for Mississippi to be the first to introduce efficiency into mobbism. Silas Virgil Negro fireman of the Panama Limited, crack passenger train of the Illinois Central railroad, recently got into an altercation with S. S. Massey station agent at Wiggins, Miss. Virgil failed to catch a dispatch from Massey and that gentleman had to walk 100 feet to carry it to him. Of course the Southern pride of Mr. Massey was hurt. Carry anything to a Negro? Unthinkable! Mr. Virgil must certainly be punished for so humiliating a member of the superior race. Consequently when the Panama Limited pulled into Wiggins next trip, Fireman Virgil found his engine surrounded by a group of chivalrous Nordies who tore him from the cab and clogged him unmercifully. Instead of putting the offending Negro out of commission, however, they shoved him back in his cab, after pummeling him severely, and permitted him to resume his run to Jackson. This is what we call efficiency. Mississippiians are probably coming to believe that business must take precedence over mobbings. Nothing must be done to interfere with train schedules. If a Negro fireman is to be flogged, do it while the engine is taking water. Next on the program will probably be an agreement on the part of Mississippi employers that lynching must only take place on Saturday afternoons and Sundays in order not to impair the efficiency of white labor, and that only a limited number of Negroes can be mobbed so that supply of cheap black labor will not grow scarce. WHY THE SILENCE? (Pittsburgh Courier) For the past few years newspapers all over the country have been writing indignant editorials whenever someone of prominence in Chicago has been bombed, shot or knifed. Tearful pleas were made to the "better element" in Chicago to assert itself and end the reign of crime. Solemn essays were written on the need for better municipal government. Some editors even mentioned need for Federal intervention in Chicago, as in Haiti and Nicaragua. It was the same whether a thug, a policeman or a United States senator was the victim. Such expressions came to be the expected thing. And then a Negro lawyer, Octavus C. Granady, a candidate for Ward Committeeeman, was ruthlessly slain by machine gunners of a rival faction, while a friend occupying his automobile was severely wounded. The principal metropolitan newspapers remained editorially silent, devoting themselves exclusively to long news stories, describe the victory of one group and the defeat of the other. Editorial mention of the primary election results refrained from comment on the fact that Granady had been slaughtered. The silence is probably explained by the fact that Mr. Granady was a Negro, and most of the nation's newspaper editors seem to feel that Negroes are too prominent in politics in Chicago, anyway, and need to be "put in their place." At any rate, silence prevails. "THAT LITTLE GAME" Inter-nat'l Cartoon Co., N.Y.—By B.

Bethea, M.D. Health Editor of The American HOME SWEET HOME Ever since Father Adam left his home in Eden and went to the wide, wide world world in search of a job, men have toil. After they have toiled they have tired and hungered. One has fulfilled the requirements for rest, sleep and food; home is worthy of the name, unless there is a woman in it. It is said that all women are divided into two classes: one can make cherry-pie and those who cannot. If the hemeasure up to man's needs, the housewife should not owe to make cherry-pie, but chicken pie also, and any dislike tickle the palate of her spouse. We come in home to rest and to refresh ourselves forasks of tomorrow. It takes all this to make us strong. For millions of disease germs stalking in our way which men overcome, as well as the worries that come to us out on the job, can stand to be cuffed and buffed about a great deal with work, and bear up famously, when he meets a hearty wife and a congenial atmosphere at home. But no man can stand under a continual fire without and also within the house. Knowing as we do that our health depends so much and home surroundings, we cannot be too careful about sufforts. We all cannot live "mid pleasures and palaces" when a banish strife from our "ever so humble" homes. Our premises should be so well kept that a stranger would now that you were colored unless he heard you laugh or saw the window straightening your hair! It is a mighty fine thing to beautify your face, for even could try to make himself easy to look at; yet you must select to do the same for the house. It is unfortunate that the home should be torn asunder with trivial things. For instance a husband got a divorce there because his wife would not cook his eggs straight up. An became furiously angry because his wife did not bad juices as fluffy as he thought they should be. He threw him at her, but the sweet little woman ducked her head andcuit went out the window. It hit a mule on the head and as dead as a door nail. Much of the misunderstanding in the home could be hoped if there was a little more humor around the fires; that many people spend all their good humor away, so when the back to their own families they have none left. Somebody has said: "The place to take the true measure is not in the forum or field or market place or the Amor, but his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask, and by judge whether he is an imp or an angel, a king or a dog or a humbug." Ever since Father Adam left his home in Eden and went out in the wide, wide world world in search of a job, men have had to toil. After they have toiled they have tired and hungered. The home has fulfilled the requirements for rest, sleep and food. But no home is worthy of the name, unless there is a woman in it. It is said that all women are divided into two classes: those who can make cherry-pie and those who cannot. If the home is to measure up to man's needs, the housewife should not only be able to make cherry-pie, but chicken pie also, and any dish that will tickle the palate of her spouse. We come in home to rest and to refresh ourselves for the tasks of tomorrow. It takes all this to make us strong. for there are millions of disease germs stalking in our way which must be overcome, as well as the worries that come to us out on the job. A man can stand to be cuffed and buffed about a great deal while at his work, and bear up famously, when he meets a hearty welcome and a congenial atmosphere at home. But no man can stand up under a continual fire from without and also within the family circle. Knowing as we do that our health depends so much upon good home surroundings, we cannot be too careful about these comforts. We all cannot live "mid pleasures and palaces" but we can banish strife from our "ever so humble" homes. Then too, your premises should be so well kept that a stranger would not know that you were colored unless he heard you laugh or saw you at the window straightening your hair! It is a mighty fine thing to beautify your face, for everyone should try to make himself easy to look at; yet you must not neglect to do the same for the house. It is unfortunate that the home should be torn asunder by such trivial things. For instance a husband got a divorce the other day because his wife would not cook his eggs straight up. Another man became furiously angry because his wife did not bake her biscuits as fluffy as he thought they should. He threw one of them at her, but the sweet little woman ducked her head and the biscuit went out the window. It hit a mule on the head and killed him as dead as a door nail. Much of the misunderstanding in the home could be side-stepped if there was a little more humor around the fireside. A great many people spend all their good humor away, so when they come back to their own families they have none left. Somebody has said: "The place to take the true measure of a man is not in the forum or field or market place or the Amen corner, but his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask, and you may judge whether he is an imp or an angel, a king or a cur, a hero or a humbug." TODAY'S TALK MOST OF US carry secrets around with us. And I can think of nothing more beautiful—so long as the red and true. No one has ever been able to fathom the secret of the stems the flowers, or of the colors of the rainbow. All nature is a world of secrets. Man has been able but the crevices into the hidden chambers of this world—and we told him next to nothing. Love is one of the greatest of all secrets. The most be- taught in the Bible is this: "God is love." No one can be, any more than anyone has ever been able to explain the secret of electricity. No one knows from whence love comes. All we know is that it makes the world more beautiful. Apple kinder. And I can think of nothing more beautiful—so long as they are sacred and true. No one has ever been able to fathom the secret of the stars, or of the flowers, or of the colors of the rainbow. All nature is a world of secrets. Man has been able but to open little crevices into the hidden chambers of this world—and they have told him next to nothing. Love is one of the greatest of all secrets. The most beautiful thought in the Bible is this: "God is love." No one can explain love, any more than anyone has ever been able to explain the real secret of electricity. No one knows from whence love comes. Or why. All we know is that it makes the world more beautiful and people kinder. All secrets are sacred. Mothers are great carriers of secrets. They have written hearts—long years ahead—the careers of presidents, writers, builders, musicians, as well as future mothers of the Power is a secret. Only he who possesses it, knows it.

Sometimes power comes late in life, but it always the secret is big enough. God is a secret—but those who know Him, know that secret to them! Mothers are great carriers of secrets. They have written in their hearts—long years ahead—the careers of presidents, artists, writers, builders, musicians, as well as future mothers of the race. Power is a secret. Only he who possesses it, knows it. And he will not reveal is until time has ripened his heart and mellowed his mind—and made him fit. This is the fact that makes the world wonder when a man rises from comparative obscurity to high fame and honor. Sometimes power comes late in life, but it always comes if the secret is big enough. God is a secret—but those who know Him, know that He is no secret to them! (Copyright, 1928 by George Matthew Adams.) It is just as well that women don't occupy the back s church.

Confab OPPOSES BISHOP HURST (By Associated Negro Press) TAMPA, Fla., May 3.—Answering a telegram sent by the Florida Sentinel, inquiring why he opposed the return of Bishop John Hurst to Florida, M.

UNITY OF RACE race solidarity seems to be the natural outgrowth of the history of racial life; it seeks its own association; it finds its neighborhood; it sympathizes most keenly with the affliction of people, it has a large sense of comfort and ease in its situation.

Race solidarity seems to be the natural outgrowth of the very tendency of racial life; it seeks its own association; it finds its own neighborhood; it sympathizes most keenly with the affliction of its own people, it has a large sense of comfort and ease in its own association. If this is true, why should there be division and strife in the Negro race? These are the reasons: The Negro has been taught 250 years in America that every other Negro is against him. This was done for the purpose of keeping him divided and reducing his strength and making it easier to enslave and control him. He has been ignorant, and his ignorance has blinded him to the fact that his strength depended upon the strength of his race. He has been selfish, and in his selfishness he has forgotten that he was dependent upon the balance of his group. The Negro seems to be very much divided and he is too far apart for the accomplishment of any practical, far-reaching good so far as his own planning and purposes are concerned, but the blame for this division cannot be laid to the masses. The teaching of mistrust, on the part of the slave master, is fast banishing and the great mass of Negroes are praying, longing, seeking and demanding unity with the hope of finding efficient, worth-while, trustworthy leadership. Ignorant and selfish, social and political would-be leaders are taking advantage of religious denominations, occupational and educational groups to selfishly promote themselves as leaders and thus create differences within the race. This makes impossible a great, strong dominant, united race with fixed purposes, accumulated resources and well-directed political and economical plans. The Christian church among Negroes must not fail to recognize its task in the promotion of racial unity. The spirit of the lodge, the social group, the Negro business organization and the political faction all indicate that the Negro is tired of petty leadership, built on envy, selfishness, ignorance or bigotry. The true longings and demands of a people never cost too much of what they have, be it ever costly or sacred and it is within the power of the laity and the masses to rise up and demand a decent, respectable, honest, intelligent and efficient leadership. They alone must find and recognize the values and acclaim the true leader and forsake all that is selfish, narrow and unworthy. (Copyright: 1928: by The Gary American, Inc.) I Arise To Remark By CHARLES B. DRISCOLL There are many kinds of loyalty, of course. The word abused. Like the word patriotism. Patriotism means definite thing to Nathan Hale when he faced date of his country's enemies. It means a very different and equally definite, to a man who has flags for sale and once you to buy them. loyalty, likewise, means different things to different people; the coal miners and the railroad men were on strikes, in the troublous days of the industrial court register that the words loyalty and loyal were used to describe person in the state. The railroads and the mine operated to the workers who stayed with them as the loyal men. The union chiefs, union men and union sympathizers recognize who walked out as the loyal men, and to those who so did job as—well, as something altogether different. Not long ago I was talking to a Canadian government man in Scotland. He was telling me about points of interest in neighborhood. He said that in this vicinity settled many of Americans who fled from the Thirteen colonies during the American Revolution, in order to avoid fighting against the king. "You know," he said, "there were many of them. You loyalists." I beg your pardon," I interjected, "we call them traitors it's in the point of view, like so many other things. But I've been reading "Splendor," by Ben Ames William Novel about newspaper folk. Mr. Williams senses and picks loyalty of the typical newspaper man to his paper. No understand that kind of loyalty. I have spent most of its atmosphere. There is nothing quite like it. Williams gives you a picture of a hero, who has just become a reporter.

It means a very different thing, but equally definite, to a man who has flags for sale and wants to force you to buy them. Loyalty, likewise, means different things to different people. When the coal miners and the railroad men were on strike in Kansas, in the troublous days of the industrial court regime, I remember that the words loyalty and loyal were used to describe every person in the state. The railroads and the mine operators referred to the workers who stayed with them as the loyal workers. The union chiefs, union men and union sympathizers referred to those who walked out as the loyal men, and to those who stayed on the job as—well, as something altogether different. Not long ago I was talking to a Canadian government man in Nova Scotia. He was telling me about points of interest in the neighborhood. He said that in this vicinity settled many of those Americans who fled from the Thirteen colonies during the American revolution, in order to avoid fighting against the king. "You know," he said, "there were many of them. You call them loyalists." "I beg your pardon." I interjected, "we call them traitors!" It's in the point of view, like so many other things. But I've been reading "Splendor," by Ben Ames Williams. It is a novel about newspaper folk. Mr. Williams senses and pictures the loyalty of the typical newspaper man to his paper. Now, I can understand that kind of loyalty. I have spent most of my life in its atmosphere. There is nothing quite like it. Williams gives you a picture of his hero, who has just become a reporter. He is reading, with mighty personal pride, about the great new presses just installed by "his" paper. He is as proud as though he had resigned and built the presses. Every newspaper man, young and old, will recognize that picture. The loyalty of the newspaper worker to his "sheet" is one of the strongest and most mysterious forces I have ever observed at work in the human animal. It is one of the ingredients that goes into the making of the soul of a newspaper. Do Hats Make the Man?

It just occurred to me last week that I had a perfectly good one somewhere on the top shelf of the closet which had been laid almost before it had come into vogue. When I looked for it I found that it had been made part of a rummage sale in which Nancy had been interested for the benefit of Cirle No. 3 or the League of Women Voters of the Collegiate Alumnae association or Alpha Phi or some other social, charitable or political organization with which she is connected. It gave me a sense of loss. The president of Smith college, whose opinion on sartorial matters should be given due weight, is quoted as saying that increasing popularity of the derby hat spells a return to the old Victorian formal manners. It is a hopeful omen. It goes without saying that we have developed a distressing informality of manners during the last ten year. We are franker, ruder, less given to courtesy and show less respect for age and women and law than we once did. We have certainly been slipping, so far as manners are concerned. My friend Murray was in a serious automobile accident a few days ago. The car in which he was riding, skidded and turned over, and Murray went through the windshield. The derby hat he was wearing saved his life. It was considerably damaged from the impact which it received but it brought Murray through unscathed and unsearred. He advises its adoption by all motorists. If the derby hat augurs the return of good manners and insures safety from automobile accidents, it may well be generally adopted and the soft hat should go.
