DIR. BOOKER WASHINGTON IS
VIEWS ON PROHIBITION.

Booker T. Washington recently
published the result of an extern
sive inquiry into the relation be-
tween prohibition and crime among
Negroes in Alabama. Summarizing
the replies from sheriffs for the
rural districts and from chiefs of
police for the cities, it seems fair
to say that prohibition lessons
crime wherever it is effective-that
is, where the prohibitory law re-
suits in notable decrease in con-
sumption of liquor 1t is also fair
TO say that this condition is rather
rare. One civic officer after an
other reports that there has been
no decrease in crime, because BIZ
bulous Negroes whites-still
obtain liquor with ease. Whisky
is shipped in from Florida. Many
Negroes have resorted to bootleg
ging,'; being tempted by the easy
profits of that industry. The Ii
quor is of the worst quality, and
is drunk by the bottleful instead of
by the glassful. Those arrested for
drunkenness are often completely
stupefied.
The reports of Dr. Washington
tend. to confirm the opinions that
The Colorado Statesman has al
ways expressed that an Intellectual
prohibition law makes for intem-
perance. Unless prohibitory laws
of whatever nature are enforced
they are worse than no laws at all.

And was much surprised recently
when several citizens came upon a

Sooner, marched the invader to the

towed him across to Green county

The Negroes advent in Calhoun

forced to jump from an excursion

Boley, Okla. Oct. 1.-Having re-

Taft and Attorney General Wick
ersham that any attempt to pre-

in November would be thoroughly
investigated, the Negroes of Okla
homa are determined to secure
their suffrage rights next month
and will apply for ballots in large
mum bers. Since the holding of
the Anal Grandfather Clause con-
vention here several days ago quite
a sum has been collected to fight
the Grandfather Clause, and the
best legal talent will be obtained
At the Anti Grandfather Clause
convention Negro voters were pres

j. Coody johnson, of Wewoka,
Okla, was named temporary chair
man. Mr.. johnson made short
speech telling of the object of the
convention, which later went into
permanent organization.
The Executive Committee is
made up of a representatives from
every county in the State, who is
empowered to organize the Ne
groes in this country.
At the convention letters were
read from President Taft and At
torney General Wickersham, which
were written 10 G. Dearman, pledg-
ing their support in the fight of
the Negroes to prevent the Demo-
Gratis from unlawfully preventing
them from voting. Instructions
were given to go to the polls in
November, and report any attempt
on the part of election officials to
stop them from casting their ballots
to the United States Commission
er. Further instructions are that
if the United States COMMISSIONER
fails to do his duty to report him
at Washington.
The next Anti-Grandfather
Clause convention will be held at
Boley between December 20 and
January l.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
PREAMBLE:
Regarding the Bible as the su-
preme law of the Land, given to us
by Almighty God, by Revelation
and inasmuch as it recognizes that
all men are created free and equal
and in conformity to this divine
law the Constitution of these great
United States has so declared that
all men are born free and equal.
We believe it to be sinful, unjust
and unchristan for any man, set
of men or Organization of men
Governmental or otherwise to seek
to destroy these God given rights
or Constitutional guarantees.
WHEREAS in contravention to
the above Pream BILE the great
State of Oklahoma has, through
