VOLUME XLV, NO. 22 Mayor Fulme Disgrunt the Fed Mayor J. Fulmer Bright was nominated in the Democratic primary election last Tuesday by a plurality of 1,018 votes. He was opposed by ex-Mayor George Ainslie and Councilman John Hirschberg. The latter developed much strength, but ran third in the contest. The effort of the Negro Democrats to get into the contest was a feature. Theodore W. Jones, the leader of the movement, made an effort to vote last Tuesday, despite the ruling of Judge Beverly T. Crump, and he was denied that privilege, although the Judge had ruled that the Democratic organization could permit Negro Democrats so to do, if it cared so to do. The judge of election readily gave his name, but the two clerks declined to do so. The police officer also declined to give his name, but it was afterwards readily secured at the Second Police Station. This movement on the part of Mr. Jones was done with a view to perfecting an appeal to the Federal Court. A PECULIAR CASE. Mildred Hinton, age 19 years, 14 West Jackson Street, was in the Police Court last Thursday morning charged with stealing one suit of clothes, one clock, one auto robe. It was alleged that the girl had cut up the suit of clothes. The things alleged to have been stolen by her were tied up in a bundle. Richard Washington, who is well on in years, said that he took the girl in his place of business. When he directed her to leave, she refused to do so, and finally when she did leave she had taken these things. The girl made the statement that she had lived at Richard Washington's place or about two months. He gave her these things and some other things, and that he had led her to believe that he was going to marry her. When she found out that he did not intend to marry her, she left his house. Washington said that as old a man as he was, he had no idea of marrying her. He had given her some trash but not these things. The girl was discharged and the clerk, clothes, etc., were returned to Richard Washington, who thanked Judge Ingram. PRESIDENT L. K. WILLIAMS WRITES ON THE TRAINING SCHOOL EDITORIAL Chicago, Ill., April 3, 1928. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. 311 N. Fourth Street Richmond, Va. My dear Mr. Mitchell: I am writing to say that I have just read your editorial on the Training School discussion. I wish to commend you for the striking fairness of this editorial. I will be glad if you will send me three or four copies of that issue of the paper. I am sending you under separate cover, what appears to me to be a pretty fair set-up of our side of the case. I hope you will read it carefully and then write another editorial in keeping with what you think to be the real case. Hoping you the greatest success, I am. Yours truly. L. K. WILLIAMS. Pres. National Bapt. Convention Funeral Director Price has been very busy of late. It has caused him to lay in another supply of caskets to meet the demands of his patrons.

Denny, wife of the well-known attorney, William F. Denny, left this week for New York to visit her sister, who is indisposed. Shepherds Rally to Welfare Fund. The campaign meeting was alive with interest last Wednesday night. There were a number of competitors for the prizes which were given away to the successful canvassers. Mrs. Lelia A. Wynn outstripped all of the workers by winning the first prize. Mrs. Martha Morris came out with the second prize. Mrs. Annie M. Carrington, Miss Adell Morris, Miss Lucile Lewis, and others deserve special mention for their excellent reports. The Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, was highly elated over the success of this meeting. From all indications the next weekly meeting of the campaign workers promises some very stirring scenes. Three prizes will be given to the three most successful canvassers, and the workers are girding themselves for a hard battle. The interest is growing keener each meeting in this special headquarters membership drive, and it looks like we are going to get one thousand members. Let every loyal Shepherd and Daughter in the city of Richmond and vicinity make this membership drive a success by bringing in our families, friends and neighbors into the Order. The Order is now located in its new home at 512 East Leigh Street. Our Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, is being besieged with congratulations for her good taste and the exercise of excellent business judgment in making this splendid selection for the home of the Shepherds and Daughters of Bethelhem. Beginning the last week in April there will be a ten nights bazaar given in the Shepherd's building for the benefit of Headquarters Fund. Every Shepherd in Richmond is expected to rally to this bazaar. Further announcements of it will be given later. Do not forget the big Easter Monday entertainment which will be given by Daughter Ella M. Thompson at her home in Westhampton. The Westhampton car will take you to Stop No. 31, where you will be met with conveyances to take you to her home. This day promises to be replete with joy and pleasure for everyone who avails himself of the opportunity to attend this affair. Good music will be furnished by the Shepherd's Band. The Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, will speak. Let the whole city of Richmond go out on this occasion. Grand Presiding Shepherd Ora Brown Stokes has been called to set apart and fold there. Many congratulations to Dr. Thomas and Daughter Hall and others who make possible the organization of this new unit to our work in Tidewater section. Secretary-Treasurer a. C. Clark went to Emporia last Thursday night to set apart a branch of our work there. The bringing in of Emporia into the Order adds a new town and a new county to our active jurisdiction. Daughter Lillie E. Baskerville has some very good things in store for the membership campaign. At the proper time we will tell you all about it. Deputy Eliza A. Berkly is planning some more big things for the Order, which promises to materialize in the next few weeks. Keep your ears to the ground and your eyes open, for she is coming through. Deputy Fannie B. Tawton is on the trail. Her last report came from Toronto, Ohio. She stated that she expected to set apart a new Fold there before leaving. The old Buckeye State is gradually but surely yielding to the irresistible appeals of Deputy Tawlton. Keep the good (Continued on page 8) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

One of the outstanding features was the Sabbath Glee Club, who served us as a selected choir. The principle speaker for the morning and guest for the day was Dr. S. S. Morris, Secretary of the A. C. E. League of the A. M. E. Church. The other two distinguished guests of the occasion were Hon E. H. Wells, judge of the Hustings Court, No. 2, and Prof. R. W.

The Women's Day effort on the fourth Sunday in March, under the leadership of the pastor's mother, Mrs. A. V. Sears, and her associates, was a record day in the church. The speakers of the day were Mrs. Ora B. Stokes and Miss Catherine Hawes. The amount raised on this day was $250.00. Since September, 1927, until the present time, $750.00 has been paid on the bonded debt of the church. The first Sunday in April was the regular Communion day. The service was well attended. At the sentation of a beautiful silver water set was made to the church by the Junior Stewardess Board No. 1. We are looking forward to our Easter exercises on next Sunday.

Colored Folks Object to the Site Chosen. Voice Strong Protest--The End Not Yet THE EDITOR UNVEIL SHAFT TO DR. E. PAYNE Ministers Conference In Charge of Program. The Baptist ministry of Richmond is rich in the memories of its representatives who have gone on. Though dead they yet speak and influence remain to inspire the men who yet labor in the "heat of the day." Among the names honored and respected among the clergy and laity alike is that of the late Dr. E. Payne, for many years president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity. In order that his name may be perpetuated and his memory left green, the Fourth Baptist Church sent a committee to the Conference requesting that the brethren who were Yokefellows with Dr. Payne in the great work of the ministry have charge of the program in unveiling a shaft in honor of this great hero of the Cross. The Conference voted unanimously to accept the invitation and the matter of arranging the program placed in the hands of the program committee, which reported the following order of service: Rev. J. E. Fountain, B. Th., president of the Conference, presiding. Hymn—Fourth Baptist Church Choir. Scripture reading—Rev. W. E. Brown. Prayer—Rev. O. B. Simms, B. Th. Hymn—Fourth Baptist Church Eulogy—Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D. Unveiling of Shaft—Mrs. P. F. Hardy. Remarks—Representatives of the Fourth Baptist Church. Benediction—Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. The unveiling will take place at Evergreen Cemetery, Monday, April 9th at 3 o'clock. Because the 9th will be Easter Monday and because of the hour set for the service in honor of our late president, Dr. Payne, there will be no meeting of the Conference on that date. On Monday, April 16th, the brethren are requested to assemble as usual. O. B. SIMMS, B: TH., Reporter. MT. MORIAH'S ANNIVERSARY. The fourth anniversary exercises of the Mt.

There was genera rejoicing. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. NS appeal to Second. Object Chosen. e End Not Yet A letter was received from Secretary J. S. Collins giving a statement as to the action of the colored people in dealing with the matter of public playgrounds for the colored children. The site recommended and which site was not approved by the Council Committee is located in a tract bounded as follows: Beginning at the northeast corner of Chamberlayne Boulevard and Mitchell Street, extending north on Chamberlayne Boulevard to Fells Street, thence east on Fells Street to the crest of the hill overlooking the site of the former Henrico gas plant, thence south to Mitchell Street and west on Mitchell Street to point of beginning.

Reid AUTOCASTER Do Celebrities Like Attention? "Don't Be Silly; It's Great," Says Irvin Cobb New York.—How does it feel to famous? Do celebrities like to point out on the street? Do you like being caricatured, talked out and greeted with recognition people they have never seen more? Irvin S. Cobb's answer to those questions is, "Don't be silly. It's neat stuff!" Mr. Cobb, the most caricatured in America, admits with commute cander in the April issue Smart. Set magazine that he is being before the public eye, that's more, he dismisses with a arty "Pooch!" the affected modity of fellow notables who feign distaste for public attention. Sure. Cobb Likes Spotlight The Kentucky humorist, whose unique features were being exaggerated by the nation's cartoonists when Coolidge was still an obscure lawyer and Babe Ruth a Baltimore school boy, confesses that he still likes the spotlight—and that he doesn't know any public figure who deep down in his heart doesn't like it. "The novelty is gone now and, once in a while, when I'm pervious to tirion or craving a little privacy, or to your little privacy that I am just a trifle bored by such attention, although having been given a compliment I strive to acknowledge it appreciatively and gratefully. "But let me tell you this: If ever you want to see a party who is really bored, yes, bored to the point of being heart-broken and unicidally depressed, you just look me up on the day when they stop doing it. "I mean that. I want to cling fast to my little share of the things you call notoriety. So does every right-minded man or woman who know likewise has had a share of it—and don't let anybody try to make you believe otherwise!" Incidentally, bis Smart Set art- M. cle offers the opinion that the farther west a nationally known figure travels in the United States the more public attention he will receive, from fellow travelers who introduce themselves, from waiters from porters, from hotel clerks and the entire range of society.

Some women are getting so common that most men do not even stop to look at them. Modesty atracts; brazenness distracts. It used to be: “I’ll beat you up.” Now, it is: “I’ll kill you,” and then they proceed to do it. Human life is no more than chicken life. The use of profane, obscene language by some men and women has become something more than a habit. Even membership in a church does not seem to affect the habit. When you see a mother with a chin, black as the D- do not be surprised. Both are of the same color, only the mother is using lipsticks and rouge and the child has not been subjected to this treatment you a while. Some of these colored folks are working for the undertakers and the superintendent of the penitentiary just as faithfully as though they were being paid for the service. It is about time for the insurance folks to "kick" against this innovation. AND OTHER VIEW OF AN INTERESTING SITUATION Whether or not there will be a Federal review of the decision of the Law and Equity Court with reference to the barring of Negro Democrats from participating in Democratic primaries remains to be seen. It is evident that granting that Judge Crump was right in his construction of the law, there remains still another point, which was not fully covered by his opinion and it will surely merit attention. As the Democratic managers and officials themselves have a right to provide the roster of the members of the Democratic Party, whether that roster was prepared upon a basis of race or color or what not may be generally conceded without materially affecting another point of issue. The Democrats themselves have provided that any of the electorate may qualify and vote in the Democratic primary even though such a person is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, provided he has paid three preceding poll taxes and he declares his intentions and pledges himself to vote the Democratic ticket at the next general election. He makes this affirmation, not before the officials of the Democratic party alone, but before the authorized legal election officers of the State, for they became so, when they were named by the electorate board, to took the regular oath of office. Now, here comes the "rub". A Neo voter comes from the electorate and announces himself ready and willing to make the affirmation relative to supporting the regular nominees of the Democratic party under this special provision of that Party. When he is refused the right to vote, it is done by a legalized agent of the State in violation of the laws of the State of Virginia and of the 15th Amendments of the Constitution of the U. S. and is based upon the race and color of the elector. By what species of legal reasoning can it be granted that this course can be followed and the elector disfranchised in a legally constituted Democratic primary, where the election is being held under the control and auspices of the State for the benefit of the Democratic Party? Certainly, it would be well for the Federal courts to define this stage of the proceedings and to let the black men of the Southland and the women, too, for that matter, know their rights in the premises. It seems, too, to us that a petition should be addressed to the chairman of the Democratic Party of the State asking that the party managers eliminate this resolution so that the organization can meet new conditions and adapt itself to modern courses of political procedure. But why should we interest ourselves in this matter? The Republican Party of this State has adopted much of the uniform and practices of the bourbon Democrats and it may be that we shall be required to move North, where other conditions prevail and where the colored brother, who wishes to support Republicans may be at liberty so to do without experiencing such embarrassments as confront him in this State. The Negro Democrats are having rough sledding. Certainly if they can stand it, we can. Selah. THE NEGRO DEMOCRATS PREDICAMENT Judge Beverly T. Crump, who declined to grant the request of James O. West for a writ of mandamus to compel the election judges in his precinct to permit him to vote in the Democratic primary election last Tuesday is one of the abstentious jurists in this State. Although he is judge of the Law and Equity Court of this city, he has been honored with an appointment upon the Special Court of Appeals and similarly recognized by his associates and named President of that temporary judicial body. He is devout of race prejudice and it is a pleasure for the colored members of the bar to appear before him. His decision in this matter, for this reason, possesses more than passing interest and makes it practically certain that any appeal from his ruling in this matter to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia is doomed to failure. It is also manifest that the efforts of the Negro Democrats hereabouts have caused much concern and a general alarm among certain Democratic leaders and they are taking steps to prepare for a further attack upon the bedrock antiNegro principle of the Democratic Party in this State. Can Negroes get into the Democratic Party by any other route than by knocking at the front door of that organization, sending in their application for membership and then be duly balloted for and accepted through the regular channels? Judge Beverly T. Crump answers in the negative and so does the local Democratic Committee. This party has a list of its accredited membership and when Brother Theodore W. Jones requested information as to whether his name was written there, he received a courteous reply in the negative. It seems reasonably certain that had his name been on the roster of the Party and this fact had been shown to be so to the satisfaction of His Honor, Judge Beverly T. Crump, and that he was not permitted to vote on account of his race and color, he would have upheld the contention of counsel for the plaintiff. The point was made that the qualification to vote in the primary included West. Jones et al. save for the impossible bar that no person not a white person could or would be accepted. Jones West and their associates have been boosting one or the other of the Democratic candidates for Mayor or Richmond City. They expected to go in with the white folks and at the last minute, they are unceremoniously denied admission. Judge Crump's ruling, in effect is that the admission to the primary election rests in the hands of the officials composing the Democratic electorate. Application should be made to them rather than, to the Court. It reminds us of a story told more than a quarter of a century ago, when General William Mahone, who was affectionately called by his followers, "Billy Mahone" was in the zenith of his glory. A campaign orator got off the story and it went over the State like wildfire at that time. It was told as a dream. General Mahone went up to the gates of Heaven and knocked. St. Peter looked out and asked who was there. When told, he asked. "Are you walking or are you mounted?" He replied that he was walking. "You cannot enter here." was the response. He was dejected and crest fallen and as he made his way down the road, he saw a Negro coming. "It is no use, Sambo, to go up there. You cannot get in unless you are mounted. I'll tell you what we can do. You be my horse and we can go up there and both of us can get in at the same time'. Sambo readily agreed to this and General Mahone hopped astride of his back and the Negro pranced up to the mighty gates, where General Mahone knocked. In reply to the enquiry of St. Peter, General Mahone cried out, General William Mahone of Virginia. He comes mounted'. 'All right. General, hitch your horse on the outside and come in'. This seems to be the present plight of the Negro Democrats in Virginia. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA "THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE VIRGINIA NEGRO". The Richmond, Va., News Leader, under the caption, "The Democratic Party and the Virginia Negro", indulges in a soliloquy upon the Negroes in general and the Democratic Negro in particular. It diplomatically and shrewdly puts its remarks in the form of interrogations and the question mark could have been properly placed after each sentence of its highly illuminating editorial. It says: The News Leader does not know whether the Negroes who wish to participate in the Democratic primary will appeal from Judge Crump's decision of Friday and carry their case upward to the Supreme Court of the United States. As the Negroes will get no financial support, naturally, from either political party, the expense will have to be borne by private individuals, and as comparatively few Negroes are interested in this move, the cost may be greater than Negro Democrats in Richmond can carry. The above is absolutely correct, for we have on file a communication dealing with that phase of the question. It continues: Whatever the immediate outcome a situation is developing that will call for the wisest public counsel and for matured action by the Democratic party. Nobody is prepared to give the answer today nobody can deny it must be given tomorrow. The above statement needs no comment. It is axiomatic. And again: Many Negroes are frankly disillusioned by their dealings with the Republican party. They know they have been cast out from the ranks of the "Lily Whites." At the same time, the Negroes are developing a new pride in their State and a special interest in their city. They are told by their leaders that they can never hope to get better streets and more municipal improvements in their districts unless they can vote. They realize that it is quite futile to put up an opposition councilmanic ticket. Consequently, they reason that the only way open to them of acquiring any political influence is by participating in the primary as Democrats. As the News Leader analyzes it, this is the judgment of some of the Negro leaders, preachers, teachers and business-men, a small but influential group. The average Negro is not interested, because he is not politically-minded. More than half the Negro population of Richmond has never exercised the franchise and therefore is not conscious of the loss of political power which the Negroes of 1902 felt keenly. Yes, this is their dream. It is closely akin to that of the Negro Democrats and the Negro Republicans of this city and State. Such improvements as have been cited can only be secured through the City Government, known as its Board of Aldermen and Common Council. We should go out in the wards and put up councilmanic candidates and have the displeasure for the next ten years or forever of seeing them "knocked down" politically, so to speak and finally we shall realize that the statement is true that a continuing drop of water will wear away the hardest stone. A story is told of a white man, who lived in Jackson Ward nearly half a century ago. He attacked another white man, who was his master in the fistic arena and he promptly knocked him down and out. John Divine took the beating and remained in bed for some time as a result of the encounter. He came back and met this same man again and again with the same result. Finally, the white man got tired beating him and a friend whispered to him that the only way to end the combat was to let this slightly demented John Divine beat him. Being disgusted and worn out, he submitted to the inevitable, and after that morning John Divine never pestered him again. The inference is obvious. Colored people will not get colored folks improvements until they get representative colored people in the Council either a.icans.incrats or Independents. A hint to the wise is sufficient, but this brog statement is more than sufficient. For our part, after years of observation and experience, we have noticed that Southerners have so jockeyed the political and the legal situation that Northerners wait for a nod from the Southerners themselves before they render a decision. If we are not mistaken we are of the opinion that Democratic jurists on the Supreme Court of the United States concurred in that famous Texas primary law decision. That is why we said nearly twenty years ago that the justice that we could not secure from the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, we would content ourselves and go without. Time has verified this conclusion. The News Leader continues: While there are those who insist vigorously that the Democratic party must be kept a "white man's party," under all circumstances, and that no Negroes must ever be admitted to it, there is at least a possibility that one element would not be averse to the registration of qualified Negroes in small numbers within the Democratic party. At a guess the News Leader would surmise that the party would not vote Moore St. Bapt. Church, West Leigh, St., between Kinney and Bowe Sts Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, PASTOR. 11:30 A.

YOU ARE WELCOME. to admit any Negroes, but that if a court decision forbade the party to exclude them, there would be no serious distress or concern with the party if a few Negroes of intelligence and public spirit participated in the primary. Nothing won is lost; Every good deed, nobly done, Will repay the cost. Leave to Heaven in humble trust, All you will to do; But, if you succeed you must, Paddle your own canoe. The leaven is working. And again: The question that politicians are asking is: How far would this infiltration go? If a few Negroes were admitted, would not a multitude seek to get the ballot? Undoubtedly, the process would be progressive, but only those could participate in the primary, of course, who could qualify for the general election. And as the requirements for voters as now imposed, very few Negroes could pass the gauntlet. The prospect of any large influx of Negroes into the decision party under any court decision is accordingly remote. But what of tomorrow? Looking down the years, Democrats who have eyes to see the trend of the times must realize that as education is spread, more and more Negroes can qualify under any reasonable administration of the educational tests. Illiteracy among the Negroes is diminishing rapidly. At least twice as many as could do so in 1904 are now able to qualify, given only the tests applied to white voters. He Ritmilum, for example, 14.9 per cent of the Negroes illiterate in 1920, as compared with 19.0 in 1910. Twenty years hence, illiteracy among Negroes will be no higher than the present white rate. What will be done then? When the parties no longer can bar the Negro because he is illiterate, will they continue to bar him because he is a Negro? Where or how intelligent, thinking manly beings in this country could get any such idea and entertain it until it has become a belief has always been a puzzle to us. No city or State in this country affords any such example. Manly action, courageous efforts supervised and controlled by politeness, but with a persistent force of character to back it up has ever won for an electorate any permanent results in this or in any other country. Servility breeds contempt. "To bend the supple hinges of the knee that favor follow fawning" emphasizes and proves that such a person or persons are inferior and are rightly excluded from the exercise of those great privileges, which have made the United States of America and its leading citizens great. You must enter the Democratic party, through the front door and not by way of the alley or the back gate. Those persons who doubt the correctness of this conclusion have been reading history with their eyes open, but with their minds closed to its lessons and teachings. The only way to secure the benefits to which a reference is made is to secure them like every other race has had to obtain them and that is down the avenue of political independence fighting politically with energy and respect every foot of the way. When Negroes organize in this city and expend their money upon such an organization, this organization will become sufficiently strong financially in time to conduct the fight in the courts. This is why the "Lily-White Democrats" 'the the "Lily-White Republicans" are looking at the Negroes with "goo-oo eyes, and are making faces at them. This is a masterly conclusion. But above if all is the God of the Universe, the onward march of time, the final triph of right and elimination of these petty prejudices, in some form or the other in all parts of this country. It is to be regretted that this effort to get into the Democratic primary in this city is based on mercenary grounds, the securing of street improvements, etc. The motive should be higher than that. It may be that we shall deal with a further discussion of this all important question. We can contend for rights, we must beg for favors. Along the road way of the former, thousands will be found pressing for success. Along the roadway of the latter, camp-followers will be pressing forward, with the certainty of defeat in the offing. Nothing great is lightly won, JUDGE CRUMP MEETS THE ISSUE It was admitted that the demurrer filed by that brilliant representative of the legal department of Virginia, Leon M. Bazile, Assistant Attorney-General of Virginia, in the Law and Equity Court, Friday, March 30th, would cause the case to "go off", so to speak, without going into the merits of the contention. Evidently, Judge Beverly T. Crump, before whom the suit was pending brushed aside all technicalities and delved into the merits of the case, settling for all time, so far as he was concerned the issues involved. One of the points raise by the defense was that the judges, against whom action was sought, are not formally sworn in and do not enter upon their duties as officers of the State until the morning of the election. Accordingly, a writ of mandamus against them would not lie. Judge Crump said. "This petition is based upon the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the National Constitution, which provide there shall be no discrimination against a citizen on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The application of these amendments in general as to the franchise rights of colored citizens is well established. The results are that these amendments must be given full effect and where State officers make such discrimination, relief can be used. "This case, however, relates to the primary election, and it is well known that while primaries are regulated to some extent by law, primary elections differ materially from general elections. This was established in the Nowberry case". This means that thi jurist had delved into the Federal law upon the subject. One side quoted the Texas case and the other the Newberry case. Both constituted ruling upon this embarrassing primary law. It tends too to show that the action of the United States Senate in dealing with the Smith case from Illinois and the Vare certificate of election from Pennsylvania was revolutionary and unlawful. In dealing with the Virginia primary law, he says: "But to come down to our primary plan, it is well known that political parties formerly used conventions to a great extent. Later when private primaries were resorted to, they were conducted, prvately within the parties. Frequently there was disorder, and hence the States established a primary law. The primary law does not interfere with the rights of a party to hold a primary or convention. It directs that the officers of primary elections shall be officers of the law, but it does not restrict parties to prescribe party rules. It is clear that parties conducting primaries under this law have the same rights as to making laws as they had before the law was adopted. They may say who may vote in the primary". The order issued is as follows: "Th's day came James O. West and fled his petition praying for a writ of mandamus in accordance with laws, and thereupon the respondents answered by their attorney and fled their joint demurrier to the petition, and I lawfully their answer thereto, whereupon the petitioner joined in the said demurrier and the same was argued before and submitted to the court. And the court being of opinion that the denial of the right to vote at the primary election mentioned in the petition is not a discrimination against the petitioner on account of color nor a denial to him of the exercise of the elective franchise, within the entitlement of either the fourteenth or fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, both sustain the defendant's demurrier on the first ground assigned therein. "It is accordingly ordered that the said petition be dismissed with costs" What are the facts and what is the law? The statute reads: Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit or circumscribe the power of any political party to prescribe the rules and regulations for its own government and to determine its own methods of making DO YOU LOVE HEALTH?

The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed so that the will of the electors may not be defeated by an informality. There is no doubt in the world, but what Judge Crump has liberally construed this law in favor of the Party. He evidently takes the position that the list of party voters is in accordance with the constitutional command that a legislative body shall be the judge of the qualifications of its own membership, and after the committee on credentials has reported and that report has been adopted, it becomes the official roster. No one has a right to force any other names on it. The judges of the Democratic Party become official judges, being named by the electoral board. These judges enter upon their duties on the morning of the primary election and they take the following oath: I. A. B., judge (or clerk) of the election (as the case may be) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will perform the duties of judge (or clerk) of the election (as the case may be) according to law and the best of my ability, and that I will studiously endeavor to prevent fraud, deceit and abuse in conducting this election. So help me God. This would be all right when it comes to the roster of the Party, but there is a provision by which other persons, aside from those on the official list may vote in the every morning.

The question of race and color comes to the forefront and members of the Democratic Party organization, acting as the legal officers of the State deny the right of suffrage to Negro Democrats on account of race and color, which denial is not in accord with the statutes of Virginia or those of the United States. Are these legalized officers agents of the State or has the State become the agent of the Democratic Party? With the proper answer to these questions will come the solution of this harassment. We take it that the citation of police powers means that the power will be "liberally construed" to the detriment of the Negroes, who are most anxious to get inside of that Party that is most desirous of not having them inside of the Party lines. The hint has gone forth that you can do what you please so long as you do not insert it in the written rules and regulations. This will constitute a valid retreat for the Negro-haters. Texas has nullified its Primary statute on paper, but that Negroes in that State are voting in Democratic primaries there has not as yet been heralded over this country. John Old Scout!

WILSON. PLAN TO "FORGET" YOUR ICE BOX When You Build Your New Home A finished out- turing ar- ture is known below. It can only a few dollars more to include it in your home, when the building is under construction. The modern method of outside icing permits the housewife to forget all about her ice box, says refrigeration expert. Yet it safeguards the family food budget by being always on the job. "IN planning and building that new home of yours, or in selecting a new apartment, be sure to demand the convenience of outside icing," advises Dr. Martha Manning, home refrigeration expert. "This new method of placing ice directly into the ice chamber from a door that opens on the outside of the building, brings with it a host of little conveniences and comforts to the housewife, who requires her to be a builder to include in the plans. The additional cost, while the house is under construction, is almost negligible, while the many conveniences it oranges result directly in the turning of worktime into playtime, and helping along the family food budget. The woman who thoughtfully arranges for this system becomes a business executive in her home. She need only issue an order to the local ice company to keep her ice box will fill and it becomes the iceman's duty instead of hers. The housewife can proceed to forget all about her refrigerator except to pay her bill from month to month, and to give it a quick cleaning occasionally. Yet she will have the comfort, and the convenience of automatically cleaning the food-stuffs in the refrigerator or a small, low, constant temperature which is absolutely necessary in the future are to be safely guarded. o r auty n'sam Co. of Gladys actress in from Ala- the finds most de- using she For hair beauty Gladys May of Shufflin' Sam Co.

Practical Recording- The Records without Scratch "Ice, of course, is the natural, sure, and economical refrigerant. It costs only a few cents per day, and involves no machinery whatever to maintain and keep in repair. Ice refrigeration is automatic and has the distinct advantage of purifying as well as keeping food cold. The circulating air about the ice cake and through the food chambers keeps the food constantly fresh, by taking the odors and impurities out of the ice film and oven drain. With the outside icing system, this modern, safe, healthful, sure system of preserving foodstuffs becomes as automatic as the reading of your gas or electric meter in the basement.

From the first announcement of Alabama's choice, to final howling when the winner is announced, everything will be heard.

Speaking of slush funds, bribes, ete, you should read the book written by Judge Kavanaugh, of Chicago, after thirty-three years on the bench. Three hundred and fifty-thousand individuals make their living, partly or entirely, by crime in our happy country, he says. Last year they contributed 12,000 murders to the nation's news items. Public indifference is to blame, says the Judge. Each country gets as much crime as its indifference deserves. Judge Kavanaugh favors use of the whip because: "No crime leader retains the respect of his gang after he has winned under the lash.

The doll-size authoress of "Gentemen Prefer Blondes" makes an important modification to that dogmatic title in an interview by Dorothy Holm published in the April issue of Smart Set magazine. She still holds it true that the male element will pick blondes for playmates and brunettes for wives, but that is only because the physical quality gentlemen really prefer something rarely found nowadays—good, old-fashioned, full-blooming curves! "The flat-chested, hipless figure that now passes for the form of a woman is anathema to the average man. A clothes rack intrigues him just as much!" So asserts Miss Loos in a broadside that sweeps or whole modish sisterhood. The flat, thin modish figure ought by girls today is woman's wn creation, she opines. Women have created in happier ways of other women and take on a nuisance whatever of gentle-ness' preferences. Loses Charm with Curves "But there is more to the loss of feminine curves than physical appeal," according to Miss Loos. When a woman changes her figs, she changes her disposition and outlook on life. When she raises up her heels, she welt the feminine qualities gentleness love in women. When a man thinks of woman he visualizes a feminine woman, soft of speech, restful in nature and deep in unfulstanding.

H.N. RODENBRAUG ST. AUGUSTINE—Many here and elsewhere in Florida are interested in land edificial which appeared in recent which pays tribute to H.N. Rodenbaugh, vice president of the Florida Coast Railway. It is as follows: Rodenbaugh a Great Bullder. Back of the progress and development of every great community is the town of builders and initiative of practical men. The Hills, the Harrisons and railroad builders of their school made a vast contribution of the Western Westen. Their vision, their courage, their pluck and their initiative gave the West its chance. The same thing of Florida. Flagler and Plant and Warfield visioned a great community with blessed with a marvelous beautiful climate and supported by the development of its own natural resources. They had the practical ability to make their dreams come true and before death called them each had caught a glimpse of the Florida, in the creation of which they devoted their lives and their fortunes. With the death of these valiant new leaders appeared to carry on the active management of the flood system was placed in the hands of H N Rodenbach, who was the title of vice president am THE MUSICIAN Rumors that Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion, and Miss Carolyn Bishop of Beverly Hills, Cal., shown in photo above, are engaged to be married were neither-confirmed nor denied when newspaper men plied Mr. Tunney with questions. Miss Bishop, a film actress, said she found the champion "one of the most admirable men of our age." AUTOCASTER executive manager. He brought to the Florida East Coast Railroad years of experience and successful training, a keen appreciation of the importance of transportation, communication, understanding, realizing problems, and a vision of the transforming power of a modern railway system on a new community. Had Faith in Florida. Fortunately for this the stockholder and business owners the Flagler State and faith in Florida and full confidence in Rodenbaugh. They promptly financed a $60,000,000 improvement program which Mr. Rodenbaugh personally organized and directed. The Flagler System was converted into a modern, double-track railroad with an electric block signal system. Oil burning engines were installed, shops were built, freight yards were provided, passenger stations were erected, many modern facilities employed to increase safety and convenience in both passenger and freight service Today the Florida East Coast Railroad is the model railroad of the nation. No transportation system anywhere in the world excels it in either equipment or service. The very accessibility and convenience of its service has been a tremendous factor in developing new business and industry along the East Coast. So wisely has Rodenbaugh built and so comprehensive have been its extension plans that his railroad is now equipped to adequately handle the passenger and freight traffic over a period of ten years without additional capital investments. In other words the Flagler System its AUTOCASTER Johnny Risko, pictured above, became the logical contender for the heavyweight championship when he scored a decision over Jack Sharkey in a fifteen-round bout held in New York. 1925 1926 1927 2193000 1900000 1978000 From Farms to Cities 1374000 133000 1044000 From Cities to Farms ```markdown ``` own development is far enough ahead of development in Florida that it can now encourage and stimulate immediate progress in the area of lack of transportation facilities. That is a highly significant and an important advantage. Along with the development of a modern railroad Rodenbough also has built up a feeling of good will between the communities served by his railroad and its officials and employees. Where in the old days there was hostility and suspicion on the part of these communities there is now frank understanding and confidence. The results achieved by the public relations department of the railroad have been little short of miraculous. Which only emphasizes the broadness of Rodenbough's vision, and reveals the practicability of his program. Full equipment without good will of the communities served would avail little in the way of success; good will equipment could not endure. But Rodenbough in his wisdom has provided the equipment and built up the good will. He to Henry Flagger and the East Coast railroad what John D. Jr. is to his venerable father and the oil industry. His methods are modern and clean and progressive. And now as Florida begins the upward swing from the depressing effects of readjustment the high vision and practical business judgment of H. N. Rodenbach loom large in the minds of East Coast people, a reckoning has begun. The deep apperation for what this truly great builder has done for Florida AUTOCASTER Martha Norelius of New York, who broke four world's swimming records and equalled another at the New England swimming championship meet held at Brookline, Mass. Her time in the four events were: 600 yards in 7 minutes, 59 seconds; 500 meters in 7 minutes, 19 3/5 seconds; 400 meters in 5 minutes, 51 1/5 seconds; 440 meters in 5 minutes, 51 2/5 seconds.

Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are symbol of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Mess would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome" THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stewardess and Laberers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLONIZED PROPEL This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrilling, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the torrents of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his fidelity, his bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own crosses.

Freeman is very restless, and that we may expect most any day to learn that this deputy among deputies has spoken a number of Folds into existence. Plans are gradually being and for our annual excursion, which will go to Bay Shore on the 17th of July. This excursion promises to be the biggest in the history of our Order. The second Sunday in June will be the red letter day for the Shepherds of Richmond and vicinity. The annual sermon will be preached on this date at Mosby memorial Baptist Church. On this date the Shepherds and the public will see what they have never seen in Richmond before. A big mass meeting of the Folds of the West End will be held on the fifth Sunday in April at the Fifth Baptist Church, Rev. A. D. Daly. pastor. Every member of the Order in Richmond is asked to attend this meeting, especially the members of the Folds of the West End. A parade through some of the principal streets of this section will precede the program. Welfare Department Honor Roll continues. Philadelphia Zion Traveler's Fold pushed Clark's Invincible Fold in second place and now holds for itself the honor of having related the appropriate payment. Fold to the Welfare Department.
