It IS as much trouble for a colored per-
son to get work, even dishwashers
place. as it is to get a Government po-
sition. The Mayor should establish here
in Washington, like they have in Bos-
ton, a free intelligence Ocffie, where these
idle colored people could secure work.
A great many places formerly filled by
colored people are now filled by the
white people A heap see, but a few
know.
We understand that the members Of
the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ma
sons are kicking like FIVE hundred about
the trouble here in Washington in Ma
sonic circles. We don't blame them for
the reasons that the fight has unearthed
facts that it would have been policy to
have kept covered also caused unnec-
essary troubles and hard feelings that
could have been avoided. We simply re-
advise: close up and cease firing, and in
this very day and time II is uuwise for
colored people to keep up the knifng
act. Love of Office has been the bone
of contention in Masonry among the
race ever since they have had it.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
From the American Economist.
He shall take care that the laws are
faithfully executed" says the Constitu-
ton Of the United States in defining
the duties and obligations attached to
the presidential office. Nowhere does he
Constitution empower the chief eNecu-
tive to alter the language, the intent or
the effect of a law OF Congress. Yet
this, in the opinion of many eminent
legal authorities is precisely what was
done in setting aside the plain require
ments OF the law prescribing the meth
DDS by which the dutiable value of i'm
ported merchandise shall be ascertained.
The law says one thing but the German
tariff trade agreement says another and
a wholly different thing. This is the
plain truth of the matter What will
Congress do about II?

Its great value to the entire state.
economically and educationally is so
great as to make it essentially a pub
lie exposition, which every good citi-
zen should support with the assurance
that ne is promoting a most worthy
enterprise and the general welfare of
the state.
1t was my privilege and great plea
sure as soon as the object and scope
of the corn exposition was presented
in connection with the high character
of it's management to appoint commis-
sionaIs in each county of the state
heartily to cooperate in the endeavor

creditable to the grower and the soil
producing the same.
The corn commissioners so appoint

endeavor to grow more and better

Governor Deneen has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation in connection
with the coming Illinois corn eXposi-
ton.
The Illinois corn exposition will be
held in the state armory. Springfield,
H., Nov. 1928. Illinois stands for all
that is progressive and aggressive III
the development of the resources OF
the state and the uplift of its people.
This is especially true of all that
pertains 10 the promotion of the agri
curtural and industrial interests of the
state.
Agriculture is the foundation upon
which the prosperity of this state has
been constructed. The prosperity OF
the state and nation depends more
largely upon corn than it does on any
other single product of the earth. Hi
nois still continues to lead as great
corn producing state.
The work, the wealth and the vel
fare of very large portion of ouI
people are and must continue to be
vitality dependent upon this great crop
that is so marvelously adapted TO oul
soil and climate. 80 lsHJIX
Every effort to create an Intelligent
interest in corn and corn culture in
the minds of our people should receive
the earnest support and hearty en-
enlargement of every resident of Hi
nois.

spirited citizens of Illinois have or

On Six-day misunderstanding to-
day, the Moline Wagon company will
operate its force on siX-days-a-week
basis, eight hours day. This well
come announcement brought joy to
the 400 employees of the plant who for
almost a year have been employed
only four days a week as result of
the financial depression and falling
off in business volume. When the de-
ipression struck the country last fall ii
found the dealers well stocked with
wagons Hard times affected sales to
such an extent that it was not till late
in the present year that the stock was
sold off, and dealers would not order
till they were satisfied that the outlook
| was hopeful One of the strange feat
ures of the financial depression was
the almost complete stagnation of the
wagon market while buggies and au
tomobiles enjoyed substantial trade.
