NEGRO DEMOCRATS ATTACK LINCOLN "The Public Be Served" An Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All FIRST YEAR. NO. 44. PAID DEMOS SEEKING TO HARM RACE Tactics of Democrat Hirelings Are Condemned By ERNEST G. TIDIRINGTON Certain paid members of our race are conducting a campaign to deliver the Negro vote over to the Democratic party, by broadcasting false statements in regard to the Republican party's attitude toward the Negro. He is being told that the Republican party has deserted him and that the Democratic party has changed its policy of being a white man's party and is now the Negro's friend. His false propaganda is not making very much headway with the intelligent and thinking Negro, because they know the Democratic party is a "Southern White Man's Party." Certain Negroes, this very minute, are fighting in the courts of Texas and Alabama, trying to get to vote the Democratic ticket, and they are refusing to let them do so. Let us see further about this "New Birth" of the present Democratic party. In every one of the states that is controlled by this Democratic party, we still must ride in his "Jim Crow" railroad trains and street cars. Nearly one hundred per cent of the hideous crimes of lynching our race is done in these Democratic controlled states. Not in a single state where the Republican party is constantly in power do we find a law on our statute books causing Negroes to ride in the little cooped up "Jim Crow" cars. Fenced Delegates The paid workers of the Democratic party must think we are not a reading people. This new Democratic party, they wish you to go with, at the Honouston National Democratic convention, wired and fenced the few Negro delegates off to themselves and in the cage they put them fn, it became so warm, until they had to secure an electric fan to keep them from smothering. This new Democratic party's convention was opened with the lynching of a poor dying defenseless Negro. Why did not this New Democratic party make some kind of statement about taking this poor fellows life? Not one word was openly said in that convention about this hideous crime. Where were the Northern Democrats in that convention? We have always heard, "Silence gives consent." In this same "New Democratic" party convention they refused to permit a colored male quartet to sing before that through. This same "New Democratic" party selected as its vice president candidate, a man by the name of Joseph Robinson, a gentleman from Arkansas. It would be well if these paid Negro Democratic workers would seek in the recourse of this southern gentleman from Arkansas, before they ask thinking Negroes, to cast their vote for Negro. See what his statements were on the 19th Amendment relative to Negro women voting, and see what he said while he was fighting the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill before the United States Senate. We might give some thought to the Negro propagandist, if they could blot from our memory all the unpleasant deeds of the Democrats of the past. We read that "We can only judge a tree by the fruit it has borne, and not what it is going to bear." Drys Shoot Still Operator In Back SUMTER, S. C.-Robt. Johnson, 50, farmer and operator of a moonshine still, was shot and fatally wounded Monday, by state and federal officers, who raided his still. Johnson, who is a husband and father, was shot in the back, the bullet passing through his heart. The officers left the dead body by the still, and did not report to their superiors what they had done. Johnson body was found by the still Tuesday evening by his children, who started a search for his father when he failed to show up. The children notified Sheriff C. M. Hurst, who in turn notified the coroner's office. The sheriff then notified the governor. It was said by the governor's secretary that the commission of one of the state officers, A. D. McKinnon, had been seized September 12 The GARY AMERICAN INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER Copyrighted, 1925, by the National Feature Service.

The murder charge against T. J. (Tack) Reese was dismissed on the motion of the assistant district attorney, who stated the evidence was weakest against Reese and that his trial would weaken the state case. Reese was the only one of the seven arrested lynchers arrested who did not make a statement. Charlie Oldham was acquitted by a jury in Criminal court. Powell was taken from a hospital by a band of unmasked white men following the shaking of a white detective. He was hanged from a bridge on the outskirts of the city Husband Slays Four Then Kills Self AUSTIN, Tex.—A blanket of intense excitement lay over this city Wednesday when Thomas Alexander, 29, while in a jealous rage shot and killed his wife, Rosa, the local chief of police, two other men, one colored, and then committed suicide. Alexander, an employee at the state capitol here, had been suspecting Leroy Hawkins of making love to his wife. Wednesday afternoon he left his job for home. Arriving there, Alexander found Hawkins with his wife. Suddenly Alexander became enraged. He seized his automatic shotgun; Alexander blasted the lives of both his wife and Hawkins. Locking himself in his home, Alexander waited for the inevitable—the police. A few minutes later a squad of policemen, commanded by N. J. Kittlepage, the chief, swooped down upon the murderer's den. Meanwhile, Alexander reloaded his gun. An order by the policemen to surrender was answered by a roaring shotgun. In the wake of the shooting the limp bodies of the police chief and another white man were found. Other officers batted their way into the house and found the lifeless body of Alexander, who had killed himself, upon the floor. Robeson Wins Fight To Stay In London LONDON.—The managers of the Drury Lane production of "Show Boat" heaved a big sigh of relief Thursday when a court thwarted an attempt to take Paul Robeson, the celebrated singer, back to America to appear in a New York revue. The court refuse to grant an injunction sought by Caroline Dudley, an American manager, who alleged she had a prior contract with Robeson. For several months Robeson's singing of "Ole Man River" in "Show Boat" has been one of the sensations in the London theatrical world. How phenomenal Robeson's success has been, is indicated in an affidavit by Sir Alfred Butt, manager of the Drury Lane playhouse. If for any reason Robeson had to leave the company, amid Sir Butt, the whole production might as well cease. KILLS WRONG MAN; REFUSES TO CONFESS TO HER CRIME Grilling By Police Causes Confession of Onlooker The first murder charge of October has been lodged against Mrs. Mary Johnson, 34, of 1601 Adams street, who is alleged to have shot and killed Percy Myles, 35, of 1616 Maryland street, in an attempted slaying of her husband, James Johnson, in the Adams street residence early Sunday morning. Mrs. Johnson, however, protests her innocence, claiming that the victim was shot by some unknown person. It has been impossible, as yet, to get the woman's admission of guilt. The shooting occurred following an all night party at the Johnson residence at which eight persons were present. Near six o'clock Sunday morning the killer opened a door of the house, entered, and began firing a revolver, according to witnesses. One of the bullets grazed Johnson's neck and struck Myles in the temple. Myles died instantly. The house was thrown into an unroar. Guests dashed madly about. Police were called and everyone present was taken into custody on their arrival. Those arrested were: William Gray, 26, 1646 Tyler street; Kenisaw Hughes, 24, 1629 Adams street; Annabelle Bennett, 25, 515 West 22nd place; G. M. Beaman, 44, 1646 Tyler street; Charles Davenport, 28, and Linwood Bowles, 18, roomers of the Johnsons, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. Strong grilling by police brought no satisfactory results. Those captured claimed they did not know who fired the fatal shot. Johnson claimed he did not recognize the killer, was unable to describe him, and knew of no one who would run amuck at the house with murderous intent. "You are shielding some one," said Captain James R. Vodicka. "At least two of you know who killed that man." Officers continued persistent in their grilling. Finally Bowles,a youth who rooms in the Johnson residence, broke down. "Mrs. Johnson did it," the boy said. "Mrs. Johnson did it because she was mad at her husband for having an all night party in our house. She didn't mean to kill the other man—she was shooting at Johnson." When Johnson learned that Bowles had broken down under the strain of the questions, he also confessed that his wife was the "unknown person" who had killed Myles, his guest. Myles and Johnson were then taken to confront the wife. But Mrs. Johnson would not change her tale. She maintained that the murderer was an unknown man. Bowles and her husband repeated their stories and their accusations. Still Mrs. Johnson stuck to her story. She has not confessed as yet. Mytes, who was married and the father of four children, was taken to the Smith mortuary. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Passes U. S. Civil Service Exams William L.

PICKENS FLAYS 'DEMOCRATIC FOOLISHNESS' IN MASS MEET Noted Speaker In Chicago Confab Says It's Parties, Not Individuals That Should Be Considered (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO.—Before nearly three thousand persons in the Eighth Regiment Armory Sunday afternoon, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Girls, Washington, D. C., and William Pickens, field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, defended the record of the Republican party in its relation to the Negro and attacked the record of the Democratic party. The meeting was held under significant auspices. State Senator Adolbert H. Roberts, member of the executive committee of the colored voters' division of the Republican National Committee, being chairman. Seated upon the platform were many national and state celebrities, including United States Senator James E. Watson, and Otis E. Glenn. Republican candidate for the United States senate from Illinois. Mr. Pickens, the first speaker, sought to impress upon the audience that the choice to be made November 6 is not one between Hoover and Smith as individuals, but between the constituencies they represent. "If Smith is elected," declared Mr. Pickens, "tens of thousands of others are elected by the same ballot, and, above all for the Negro, the South is elected to dominance in the national and hegemony in the international atmospheres. The South dominates the Democratic party, and if the south had its way, we should not have to make this appeal to Negro voters, for there would be no Negro voters worth making appeal to." Mr. Pickens ridiculed the idea that Smith was a different sort of man, one who would be able to dominate his party, showing that no Democratic leader, including Woodrow Wilson, had been able to do that and that presidents were but mere cogs in the great political machine which is the party, that they have to move the way the party wants them to move. After paying due respects to the Negro's interests in such national problems, as the tariff, immigration and farm legislation, the N. A. A. C. P. speaker declared that "The Negro must properly subordinate all DEMOCRATIC PRESS' IN MASS MEET Chicago Confab Us, Not Individuals Be Considered other problems to his citizenship rights; if he is not a citizen, neither tariff nor farm relief, nor foreign re- lations will do him any good." "What boots it for the Negro to take the tariff off beans if he cannot get any of the beans in Atlanta?" he inquired. "Will bigger profits for the farmer help a Mississippi Negro peon? As to our foreign relations: our hostility to real democracy in Europe and our dominating attitude toward Haiti and the rest of Latin America got such a fine start under Woodrow Wilson, in the last Democratic administration that the combined liberal and antiimperialist sentiment of both parties has not yet been able to recall us to the Constitution and to our pristine favor for freedom and human brotherhood. But who expects Robinson of Arkansas to be more decent toward Negroes in Little Rock?" Miss Burroughs uttered a clarion warning against electing to the chief executive office of the nation any man who advocated tampering with the United States Constitution. She declared that the present period was somewhat analogous to the period just prior to the Civil War. "The test in that campaign was a test of the preamble to the Constitution, which declares certain inalienable rights for all men, among which is liberty," she asserted. "The test in this 1928 campaign is a test of the strength of the amendments to the Constitution. If the Eighteenth Amendment is not strong enough to stand—we might as well sign the death certificate of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. If prejudice ever has a chance to tear up or tamper with one of the amendments to the Constitution, that same prejudice will take advantage of the glorious opportunity to modify the war amendments. "Do not vote any man into power who proposes to tamper with the Constitution, and do not forget that the party which this man represents did not help to write your rights into the Constitution and it should not therefore be given an opportunity to tamper with them. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. If you vote to weaken the Eighteenth link, you weaken or jeopardize all links." Prejudice Is Denied By Moses (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK.—Senator George H. Moses, in an interview granted colored newspaper men Wednesday morning, declared that the statement attributed to him referring to positions held by colored men in New York is false. Mr. Moses said: "At the time of the luncheon, I was heckled by a southern woman, who said that the Republican party was noted for its attitude of respect to the colored citizen, in which the policy of the party was to place colored men and women in position where they could have supervision over white people, naming Charles W. Anderson, of New York, as an example of this policy on the part of my party." Then Mr. Moses stated he told the women, she could have no fault to find nor criticism to offer, for in her own party, in the city of New York, Tammym had given just such a position to a member of the Democracy, who happens to be a colored man. "I had no idea at the time that the members of the press who were present could fail to see the look of contempt on my face for the lady who was asking such a question and at the same time indicating thereby that she was opposed to the most elemental characteristic of our party of a square deal to all, regardless of color." Free Waiter Held As Gem Thief ATLANTIC CITY. — William Sears, waiter accused of the theft here last August of $120,000 worth of jewelry from Mrs. Henry C. Heinz of Atlanta, Ga., wife of a former president of Kiwanis International, was acquitted by a jury in Quarter Sessions court at Mays Landing. Sears spent three weeks in jail before he was released on bonds of $25,000 by Judge William H. Sathers who presided at the trial. Sears protested his innocence and was acquitted because of lack of evidence. Mrs. Heinz testified the waiter had taken her breakfast to her room in a hotel here when she was in the bathroom, and that she found her wardrobe trunk open and the jewelry gone.

It is believed all his victims will recover. Fairfax and Elise Alexander went to a picture show Sunday night. They had a quarrel, and Elise left the place. She was afraid of Fairfax, she told the police later, and did not go home, going instead to the some of a woman friend for the night. About two a. m., Monday, Ernestine Antonio, the girl's mother, was awakened by Fairfax at the St. Anthony street home. She let him in. "I am going to kill everybody in this house," she reported that Fairfax had said. He shot the woman in the right shoulder and inflicted a dangerous head wound with a second shot. In a second room, Victor Antonio, Elise's stepfather got out of bed at the sound of the shots and was also shot down by Fairfax, a bullet taking effect in the right chest. In another room was Hattie Johnson, a roomer. Fairfax shot her in the left shoulder. Then Fairfax ran from the house and to the house at Johnson and St. Anthony streets, where he lived with his grandmother. He aroused her from bed, removed his shoes, and some articles from his pockets and said: "Grandma, watch me kill myself." He went out in front of the house and shot himself through the head, the bullet entering the right ear. He died instantly. Police found a note written by Fairfax which read: "I love you. I did it." Fifth precinct police summoned a Charity Hospital ambulance. The condition of the Johnson woman is not believed serious, but the mother and step-father of the Fairfax sweet-heart were reported in serious condition. Mrs. Ida L. Garnett, 2300 Adams street, was a delegate to the Women's Christian Temperance Union convention which met in Kokomo on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There were 812 registered delegates to the meeting and nearly 1,200 visitors. Mrs. Garnett was a member of the committee on Sunday services and was an official representative of the organization to services both morning and evening at the Kokomo churches. She says that the meeting was very successful and that Gary was chosen for nort years convention.

Luther stole the car because he wanted to take a joyride. He was apprehended in Marion, Indiana Sunday and brought back to Gary. --- Is Delegate To W. C. T. U. Meet Sentence Boy As Auto Thief meeting at Croatian hall Monday night. Atty. Henry's talk followed one made by Pardinand Q. Morton, Tammany Hall's dark protege, who perspired and prattled for a good half hour in an unsuccessful attempt to convince his listeners that they should vote Democratic in November. He talked but said nothing. Most of his applause came at the end of his speech. Didn't Blush If Morten perspired, Atty. Henry sweaked. Naturally a very dark man, his color was accentuated by the exertion he was put to in his talk. At the conclusion of his speech, he resembled a freshly shined patent leather shoe. There were times, however, when he seemed ready to blush because of the charges he was making against Lincoln. But he remembered the Democratic dollars and regained his composure. It seems as if the big trouble with Abraham Lincoln was the fact that he was a Republican, he said. It seems further that Atty. Henry might have forgiven the emancipator if he had been a Democrat in good standing—with the probability of a log cabin full of Atty. Henry's race as slaves. "Old Abe Lincoln was a Republican," the learned lawyer informed the assemblage. "He also hated to free us colored folks but he jus' naturally had to. He did it 'cause they was all helpin' the south, an' it made the conferred soldiers jus' that much harder to lick. But don't think he did it 'cause he liked us black folks." "Amen!" shouted a woman. It was learned later that she was on a spree and had mistaken the political meeting for a Holy Roller church service. Atty. Henry grinned, wiped his face with the last clean corner of his handkerchief, took a glass of water, and continued: "He tol' somebody right after the war was over that if he could done anything else, he wouldn't have taken away slavery from the South." he continued, in these words contributing much to the history of the United States. "Lincoln wasn' your friend, he didn't do nothin' for no black man. Besides, he was a Repubican." White Folk Appland There was much applause during Henry's anti-Lincoln speech. In fact, it seemed as if the perspiring barrister was making quite a hit. Only it happened that most of the applause was given by the two or three hundred whites who came out expecting a circus and went away happy. The colored members of the audience sat motionless. "An' right now," continued Lincoln's Simon Legree. "Lincoln is talkin' right through Hoovah an' Senator Moses. If they want a lily-white Republican party, it's because they're following after Lincoln. The Republicans ain't doin' nothin' that ain't the policy of old Abe Lincoln." Atty. Henry grinned again, found a fairly clean spot on his hankle, wiped his face, then prepared to do some sitting. Morton Talks The Hon. Mr. Morton, who were a suit that had a slight slept-in air, told the audience that he had intended to make a few remarks in Gary and make his speech in Chicago, but that after more consideration he had decided to save his remarks for Chicago and make his speech here. "If that was his speech, God save the Chicagoans from his remarks," somebody said after Mr. Morton finished. "He can say nothing better than any man I ever heard." Mr. Morton spoke of Harlem and prohibition. Three present sought in vain to find some reason in Morton's talk that would show them just why they should be for Al Smith and Arkansas Joe Robinson. They were still hunting a reason. "Smith may not be able to change prohibition himself, but if he goes in, somebody will find somewhere to do something about it" definitely promised Mr. Morton. He further added, "Prohibition has had a 100% evil effect upon Harlem." Smith's Appointments Morton admitted that Al Smith had made any Negro appointment. However, he attempted to explain this by saying, "Al Smith never investigated the race of the men he appointed. He didn't know whether they were black or white." Realizing that the logic of his statement did not impress hiss hearers and might cause them to have serious doubts concerning the soundness of his mind, the speaker hastened to another topic. "The Democratic party is a working man's party," he said. "Yeah—they work us colored people to death down South," a man said to his companion. "Furthermore, the Republican party has certain jim-crow jobs that it reserves for Negroes." Mr. Morton continued. "We Democrats don't do that. We give everybody jobs that they can do. We don't jim-crow any jobs." Mr. Morton resumed his seat. Then he remembered that he should have told his listeners to vote for Al Smith in the election. He had seemingly overlooked that. He started to get up but Att'y Murray, the assistant toastmaster, beat him to it. So Mr. Morton got mad and went back to Chicago to make his remarks at Wendell Phillips high school. For some reason, nobody mentioned Arkansas Joe Robinson, the Negro hating Senator from the home of razor back hogs and lynchings, who is Al Smith's buddy on the Democratic ticket. Nobody mentioned anything of any importance. In fact, so indefinite was the whole meeting, with the exception of Henry's ravings which nearly necessitated the calling of experts from the state insane asylum, that one listener who sat intensely interested throughout the whole meeting approached a fellow sufferer and asked: "Say, friend, were those guys Republican or Democrat?"

Lanier, who several weeks ago was dropped at Panama, was laying careful plans Friday to catch up with Byrd, at New Zealand, and explain why he was cast off. Although determined to join the commander, Lanier was not so certain about how he will get to New Zealand. It is believed here that he plans to work his way on steamer from New York City. This, however, Lanier neither would affirm nor deny. He attributed his rejection to stories circulated here by persons who hated to see him succeed. "I am a lad that's always been righteous," Lanier said Friday. "They are jealous of my upcoming and don't want to see me get ahead." seated Lose Jim Crow School Move BUTTE.

Scott presented the proposal that the legislation provide separate schools for white children, with Negro and Mexican children housed in separate rooms. Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey of Los Angeles attacked the proposal. "It is pretty late in the history of the human race to bring up a problem of this kind," said Mrs. Dorsey. Dr. W. W. Kemp, dean of the school of education of the University of California advanced the argument that such procedure might cause international complications with Mexico, and after further debate the motion was tabled.

ARREST GANG OF 8; RECOVER $35,000 LOOT Annonymous Letter Gives Cops Clue To Theft Ring INDIANAPOLIS—A theft gang composed of eight men who are all legged to have committed more than 35 local burglaries taking loot estimated to be $35,000, has been unearthed here by Police Chief Claude Worley as the result of an anonymous letter received by him at head quarters. The men arrested by a special squad detailed to their detection after the letter was received are: Leonard David, 31; Charles L Brown, 33; Herbert Johnson, 31; Harold Newbolt, 30; Willard Newbolt, 33; Carl Hobson, 19; Joseph Clark, 18; and Walter Davis, 16. Brown and Davis were charged with vagrancy when arrested. The others were charged with burglary and grand larceny. Admits Burglary Thirty-five burglaries were confessed to by Davis, eliged leader of the gang, according to reports. A large automobile was stolen by the ring before each robbery for the purpose of hauling the loot. After that, each car was abandoned. The loot itself was found by police in six different places about the city. Several trips were required to carry the goods to police headquarters. Clothing, eight radio sets, revolvers, shotguns, tools, lawnmowers, clocks, etc., were included in the recovered property. The letter which lead to the gang's undoing listed nine of the gang's robberies, gave the names of four members of the gang and the names of four of the men who have been arrested. It is said the wife of a member of the ring wrote the unsigned letter which informed police of the affairs of the group.

City ALICE AND KIP RENEW THEIR BATTLE; START $300,000 SUIT (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK—Leonard Klp Rhinelander, descendant of Hugenot settlers, may be forced to throw aside the smoke screen of mystery that has veiled his whereabouts for the past two years and appear in court to defend the latest move of his colored wife, the former Alice Jones, to seize his property, valued at $300,000. Disinherited by his father, Major Philip Rhinelander, the present head of the aristocratic family, Klip would be entirely out of funds if this action was successful. The amount named in the suit represents the last of the inheritance bequeathed him by his mother when he was a small child. Since the failure of the sensational annulment suit brought in his behalf, young Rhinelander, who was barely twenty-one at the time of his marriage, has travelled extensively for four years, under an assumed name, not only to dodge his wife's process servers, but to hid as well. it is alleged, the grief caused by the SEGREGATION IN BUREAUS FOU SEGREGATION IN GOVERNMENT BUREAUS FOUGHT SINCE 1913 NEW YORK CITY.—A brief history of the fight against segregation in Washington government bureaues, carried on since 1913 by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was made public recently. When the policy of segregating government employees was extended and fortified under President Wilson, the N. A. A. C. P. at once protested vigorously against "racial departure." A letter signed for the N. A. A. C. P. by Moorfield Storey, president, and by Dr. Du Bois and Oswald G. Villard, pointed out the fallacy of the defense of segregation on the ground that Negroes would be safer in the possession of their jobs in all-Negro bureaues or sections; and showed both the humiliation and the limitation in opportunity inflicted by the practice. In November of 1913, Mary Childs Nerney, then secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. made a report on an investigation of segregation which she had undertaken in which she wrote: "Segregation is no new thing in Washington and the present administration cannot be said to have inaugurated it. The past few months of Democratic party control, however, have given segregation impetus and have been marked by more than a beginning of systematic enforcement. It is becoming known as a policy of the present government. "The effect is startling. Those segregated are regarded as a people set apart, almost as lepers. Instead of allaying race prejudice, as some of the advocates of segregation would have us believe, segregation has emphasized it. In fact, government approval in some cases has aroused it where it did not ex- Miss Nerney found segregation to exist in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, in the Post Office Department, and in the Treasury Department, and reported upon it in detail.

Mrs. Rhinelander expressed confidence he would return to her as soon as he was able to shake off the constant companions hired by his family to try and divert the young man's thoughts away from his wife. Not until early this year when investigators retained by Mrs. Rhinelander's counsel, former Judge Samuel P. Swineburne of New Rochaille, convinced her that Kip no longer cared for her and that he had been friendly with other women, would she consent to sign separation papers. The first legal move will be made Monday before Justice Joseph V. Morschauser, who heard the case. The papers in the action will be presented so that Justice Morschauser may pass on their application for service by publication. Although Kip has not seen his wife nor communicated with her since he deserted her five weeks after their marriage four years ago, he has regularly paid $300 monthly to her counsel for her support. GOVERNMENT RIGHT SINCE 1913 intrusted in January, 1925, to Miss Rebecca Drucker. One flagrant case unarrested by Miss Drucker concerned a colored woman employed and paid as a charwoman, who was doing the delicate and difficult work of a laboratory assistant and who was refused appointment despite the recommendation of three doctors in her department. In the meantime, under the leadership of the District of Columbia Branch and its president, Neval H. Thomas, the N. A. A. C. P. was carrying the fight against segregation before public opinion. As a step in this context the N. A. A. C. P. sent its special legal assistant, William T. Andrews, and the assistant secretary, Walter White, to make as complete a survey as possible of the prevalence of the evil. These two investigators visited every government department and listed every ascertainable case of segregation. The N. A. A. C. P. then wrote to all department heads pointing out the specific instances of segregation thus secured. The N. A. A. C. P. is now in correspondence with heads of the various Washington departments, seeking to have existing segregation, as revealed by these latest reports, abolished. Four Injured In Auto Accident Four persons were injured Tuesday evening when a car driven by Henry Jenkins of 2415 Jefferson street was struck by a truck and overturned on Dunes highway one mile east of Miller. Herman Turner, 23, 2203 Adams street, was the most seriously hurt, suffering a severe cut on his right arm and possible internal injuries. Sylvanus Loyd, 21, 2176 Adams street, and George Dickerson, 2213 Massachusetts street, were shaken up and bruised. Jenkins escaped uninjured.

Dr. Carver, who gained distinction through experiments with the peanut, pecan and sweet potato, has succeeded in making three grades of insulating boards, black paint and unusual quality and several wood stains from the root of the palmetto plant, which grows in wild abundance in southern Georgia and northern Florida. Sodium and potassium were also taken in appreciable amounts from the plant, which has extremely large roots. A number of other alkaloidal properties promise further products, Dr. Carver says. A few green persimmons yielded the scientist some of the richest dyes he has been able to produce in experiments with various vegetable matters. The colors produced from the persimmons range from jet black to midnight and English blue. SATINS PATENTS VELVETS WOMEN'S Patent Leather Cut-Out Step-in Pump, trimmed with Black Mesh. Cuban Heel.

C.—Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential candidate, was thanked again Friday for abolishing racial segregation, last March, in the Department of Commerce. Thanks this time came from Dean Kelly Miller of Howard university, who assured Mr. Hoover of his support on November 6. "The colored race is grateful to you," began Dean Miller's letter, "for abolishing racial segregation in the department over which you presided, even though it did not come until near the end of your administration. Great pressure is being brought to bear by your ill white proselytes to have you deny, disavow, or explain away this noble, manly, American and Republican act."

And unless these two improbable things Its owners have committed journalistic peace. It seems as if the Gary Sun is setting. It is highly probable that after Nov. 6 those who look to the Sun for their light will gaze into utter darkness. A newspaper that has the respect of Republican officials finds its lot hard when it sells out completely and unquestionably to the interests of the Democrats. Especially is thi true of a Negro newspaper that has no stable finances. Of course, we realize that unstable finance caused the bolting of the estimable Sun. Gold is a powerful lure—and when the Democrats flashed that at the proper time and place, the Sun stopped rising in the east and bobbed up in the west against all laws of self-preservation. The Gary Sun came out flatfooted a few weeks ago and declared itself editorially in favor of Al Smith. Incidentally the Sun hasn't missed an issue since embracing the Democratic faith! But at what a sacrifice! The Sun has broken faith with the Negro race. Whatever the policy in state and city elections, no Negro newspaper can as yet support the Democratic presidential ticket without committing an act of treason. Such a paper is a modern Judas. It would betray the race and deliver it into the hands of its natural enemies. The Sun has broken faith with Lake county Republicans. Heretofore it has held the respect and confidence of city and county officials who have aided it materially. It is highly probable that such a friendship would have continued. But cash in hand—or promise—seems to have impressed the Sun owners more than the friendship of the Lake county heads. For a dollar, it has killed itself. There are some who regard it as an imposition for a Negro newspaper to advocate Al Smith and Arkansas Joe Robinson who represent a party that sanctions lynchings and disfranchisement. With these folk, the Gary Sun is dead. Lake county is Republican. Officials here brand it an outrage for the Gary Sun to bolt. And they will not forget it in the future. There is little chance of Lake county changing its mind and going Democratic. Nor do we look for the victory of Al Smith in November. And unless these two improbable things happen, the Sun will set. Its owners have committed journalistic suicide. May they rest in peace. IN DARKEST MISSISSIPPI (From The Chicago Defender) who wonder why Mississippi is the most United States; those who wonder why that is degrading to a nation, the Defender, signed by R. H. McDaniels, 1301 B., and published recently in the Jackson itself: doing what the Equal Rights league hoover is elected president has surely made the Negro is not so much to blame as To those who wonder why Mississippi is the most backward state in the United States; those who wonder why that state leads in everything that is degrading to a nation, the Defender gives the following letter, signed by R. H. McDaniels, 1301 Bailey avenue, Jackson, Miss., and published recently in the Jackson Daily News. It speaks for itself: After reading what the Equal Rights league hope to accomplish if Mr. Hoover is elected president has surely made my blood boil, but I guess the Negro is not so much to blame as Mr. Hoover. Mr. Hoover has made the Negro believe that he is as good as Mr. Hoover is, and for all we know, he might be. If Mr. Hoover wants to do away with the color line and put himself on equality with the Negro, we can't help that, but we Democrats will never tolerate such because we are white men and have too much red blood in our veins to want to lower ourselves to such depths. I've never had the pleasure of going on a lynching party, but I know of anything that would afford me a greater pleasure than to have a chance to help lynch the Negro or Negroes that wrote the letter that was published in the News August 10, 1928, signed Equal Rights league—any man that calls himself a Democrat and then votes for Hoover instead of Smith for president on account of his religious belief, and especially a man with such a clean record as Smith has, is a bald face liar. He is not a Democrat. He has been a Republican all the time. A true Democrat hasn't a yellow streak down his back like that, even a skunk has a white streak. The only way to keep Democracy clean and fit is to keep the Negro in the cotton patch, and the Republicans out of office. If they steal as much this time if Hoover is elected as they stole before there won't be anything left but the White House and the capital, and somebody will have a deed of trust on them. And furthermore, any state that will allow a low-down black, stinking, white-eyed, thick-lipped, low-browed Negro to make such statements and then let him live, isn't a fit state to be used for skunk farm. And I also don't believe there are very many white people in Boston, if so, they are a bunch of low-down cowards or Negro lovers, or perhaps both, to allow them to make such statements as were published in the Jackson Daily News August 10, 1928 If Perry Howard and his gang were to make such statements in Mississippi they wouldn't last as long as a snowball in HELL. And then to think of some of our so-called Democrats bolting the Democratic party to vote for Hoover, the man that is trying to do away with the color lime, to put the Negro on equality with the white people, a man that would stoop to such a damnable act is not a fit subject for the insane asylum. So if you want to keep Democracy clean and fit, vote for Smith and Robinson. Of such stuff as this is Mississippi made. It is such vermin as the author of this letter that infests the tate and maintains the reins of authority. Is there any wonder that so many people leave the South to avoid an atmosphere polluted by these vaporings? Anyway, a lot of black Democrats got a chance to sit in the same place as white Democrats without a fence between them. The South has decided to let Arkansas have the first lynching if Smith wins. Latest market reports from Candidate Joe Robinson's state indicate a high rate paid for very dark Negroes. It is rumored that Atty. Henry plans to go to Maine if Hoover loses.

Fet- ump only of Harlem a MODERN A Marshall There is a great deal of the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" in every one of us. That is to say, each one of us has that selfish instinct that leads downward, and that altruistic or ideal that leads upward. All through our lives there is a battle-royal going on within us between these two forces. In some of us the evil seems to be the stronger, and takes possession; while in others, the good has the right of way. There is a conflict in society as well as in the individual. Those of us who are guided by our better selves are battling against those who are directed by their lower instincts. Sometimes those who stand out boldly for the ideal, have some narrow escapes, but like the hero in the story, they come out all right in the end. In the human body there is some sort of indescribable something we call vitality. This force is at work at all times warding off the blows from without and within. We come in contact with the most deadly germs every day of our lives, but this force stands up and takes our part. One man may get wet, get angry, get drunk or get married, and seem to go through it all without any mishap, but if another man just gets his feet a little damp he will have a cold all winter. Then there are some men who are strong, will waste their strength in high living, so when they need it to tide them over a spell of sickness they are all spent out like a dead firecracker or a woman who has been to a Dollar-day sale. If you would win out in the battle for health or heaven you must not be too easy with yourself. What would you think of a dentist who would pull your jaw tooth half-way out and then stop and shed tears in sympathy for you, then again pull a little more on the tooth? If you know that you are smoking too much or eating too much candy and nick-nacks, why keep on at it? It would seem that this is the place for a little will-power. But people will say, "Oh Doctor, I can stop any thing that is against me if I want to do so." Yes, it is said that a woman can keep a secret if she wants to do so, but the great trouble is to find the woman that wants to do it. It is rumored that the Democrats intended to serve free barbecue to the Negro meeting at Croatian hall Monday night. But somebody remembered that it might remind the colored brethren of the other kind of Democratic barbecues in the south. Judging from the talk of the Hon. Ferdinand Q. Morton, the United States is made up only of Harlem and New York. THE MODERN AESOP By F. Marshall Davis MUCH TOO TIGHT Lucius was a guy who really held onto the pennies. Two-bit pieces were as hard to separate from him as Broadway chorus girls from sugar-daddies. Whenever he had a pair of trousers new to him he would take out all of the pockets. Pockets were as useful to him as a gear shift on a lamp post. He would squeeze nickles so tight that the Indian straddled the buffalo. The dress the woman wears on a big silver dollar would be ragged before he turned it loose. He had no use for money at all except to stack it up and hide it. He had his own method of doing things. He never paid any new bills until they got old, and he never paid any old bills at all. He was so tight that when he bent --- ♠ ♡ STAY OFF THE SOUTH AL!

The proverbial Scotchman, King Midas, and all of those babies spent money as freely as Paul Ash sprinkles jazz, compared to Lucius. He went all over town once trying to get two cent stamps for a penny each. Had free-heartedness been worth three cents a gallon, then this guy could not have purchased enough liquid for a hummingbird's meal. He was too stingy to even give an argument. He was afraid to put his money in a bank and afraid to keep it with him. What could a man do in a case like that? A gold-digger had as much chance of getting money out of him as ... his had of meeting Dempsey. He kept his money so close that THE AMERICAN TIC BUNK IN you think of a and then stop ill a little more SPEED MER --- + + + when he did take it out for a little air, there was a regular show. The eagle flapped its wings and stretched, the Indian did a war dance with the lady of the dollar, the buffalo left for a bite of grass, and Lincoln made a speech. In fact, he held a dime and a penny so close that when he did take them out of his sack he found that the Indian head had been transferred to the ten cent piece. The only time he ever spent money foolishly was the time he got extravagant and paid two-bits for a red necktie. He never did lose any money on investments because he never placed pennies in a slot machine. But he made his mistake when he tried to raise little Ones into big Tens. The government has him now trying to reduce big Ones into little Ones. Moral: (There's one somewhere) If a guy gets too tight, the only remedy is to send him up for a long stretch.
