SIN" At BRADLEY

The photoplay entitled "Sin," which
was written and produced by Herbert
Brenon for William Fox, and in which
the famous French actress, Theda
Bara, the Vampire Woman, is starred,
is an unusually powerful and convinc-
ing work Astounding in strong dra-
matte climaXes, growing out of the
clash of elemental human passions.
Luigi (played by William e. Shay,
is a woodcutter living with his mother,
Marietta, played by Louise Rial. Luigi
is in love with Rosa (Theda Bara), a
lovely daughter of the passionate
Italian soil. Comes to the village
.Pietro (Warner Oland), a dapper
Americanized Italian, who has made
some money in the United States and
has returned 10 his native village to

RoosEvRLTs ATTITUDE.

There are few political observers
at the Capitol who contend that Col.
Roosevelt, II he cannot secure the
nomination himself, win give his as
sistance to those supporting Hughes,
but the majority opinion seems to be
that nothing would disgruntle the Col
onel more than to see another citizen
OF his own state get the nomination
and that he would throw his influence
against Hughes Immediately he dis
plays alarming strength,
That both Roosevelt and Hughes
viii have a substantial following in
the convention appears to be certain,
but none OF their supporters has as
yet undertaken to point out Just which
of the 375 delegates recently chosen
are dependable, Hughes or Roosevelt
supporters, preferring to make only
general claims Of support on each of
the delegations not formally pledged
to "favorite son" candidate. Thus
In Maine and New Hampshire, both
the Hughes and Roosevelt supporters
say they have a preponderance of sup
port, but those who are supporting
Senator Weeks contradict this and
make the condensation that out of
the twenty delegates chosen in these
two states, fourteen will vote for
Weeks on the initial ballots. and will

1t is hardly necessary to state that
the Negro vote will go to Mr..
Hughes, because Negroes have been
consistent Republicans. They cannot
support Mr.. Wilson. because of his
Segregation of Negro employees"
and his catering to Southern senti-
ment, which is anti-Negro. But
there are many good men in the DEM
ocratic party who are our friends.
Some are in office and their record on
Negro questions stands on par with
their Republican colleagues. 1t is
more q matter of sectionalism than
partisanism. The Northern Demo-
crat is often preferred to the South
ern Republican. Notwithstanding
that we want to increase our Repub-
lican strength in both branches OF
Congress; we should not follow the
label and. vote for a candidate, who
is tagged as Republican and repudi-
ate present office holder, tho a
Democrat, who is on record as being
for equal rights for all Americans. DR..

Taft, said that "if Mr.. Wilson proves
to be good president, he would sup

TO VOTE FOR HUGHES.
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law.

''I favor the election Of Mr.. Hughes
to the Presidency for entirely different
reasons than those held by most Of his
supporters. 1t Is not because Of the
Mexican policy nor the foreign policy
Of the administration nor by reason Of
its domestic policies. 1t il because Of
the apparent indifference of the admin
istration Of President Wilson to the
cause Of pure foods and drugs. Prac
tcally all Of the abuses which were
injected into the pure food law by the
preceding ADMINISTRATIONS are still In
force. Benzoate of soda is still reg
nant. The fumes Of burning sulphur
are marching along undisturbed. There

No attempt. has been made to enforce

"Mr. Hughes In his activities on the
supreme court has stood like stone
wall for the proper administration Of

would see a radical change In the atti-
tude Of the government towards pure
food and pure drugs. so vital to the
welfare of our people. For this reason
sincerely hope that Mr.. Hughes may
be chosen az our next president
II should expect Mr.. Hughes as pres
ident to have the same attitude toward
the pure food and drug law that he had
as judge on the bench and to appoint
a secretary Of agriculture with subor

Of the pure food law for the benefit OF

It is encouraging to notice tnat SO
many Negro laborers are employed
on contract work. They are work
ing on buildings, laying asphalt and
digging sewers. They are holding
responsible positions as janitors and
porters. chauffeurs and teamsters
Many avenues Of employment are
open, and it is a certainty that Ne
groes can and yill do other work
than, "wait on table" or run on the
railroad" The women are also max
ing opportunities for themselves.
They are willing workers and are
classed as preferred help. A great
portion of these menial laborers are
wearing ''the ragged jacket" but
they are buying homes and rearing
children, earning an honest living and
contributing to posterity. They are
the moulders of the future and the
makers of the race.
