semi-oficial announcement that col
ored Republican office-holders In
Washington must give way to the
sentiment alleged TO be now existing
in this section of the country. and go
70 the rear. Whether or not. he has
been encouraged so TO do by some
of the disappointed Negro leaders
themselves remains TO be seen. For
our part. we are OF the opinion that
if this is true the distinguished oc-
cupant is making the mistake Of his
life. We expect to oppose him upon
such an issue and while we have
been a rock-ribbed Republican all OF
our life, We expect to carry on the
campaign against such a policy to the
end Of the chapter on earth and if
Gcd will permit OF it. we expect 90
continue the warfare against it in
heaven.

note condition Of premises, he saw
nothing had been done. He made
warrants for the three offenders, and
a fine of SO and costs was imposed in
each case. The defendants we're or
dered by the court to do this or else
another arrest was in prospect.
Occupants of rental property in
many cases are giving the sanitary
inspectors trouble in maintaining
that they are not expected to clean
up their premises. The ordinance
specifically states that occupants are
responsible and must clean up filthy
property. InfractiOns of such a law
Will be punishable by fine or impTis-
