Again, the other day stepped into
a butchershop and asked for dimes

German butcher asked me il | was
going to eat it there or take it with

in understanding each other. In fact,
there are some people who still think
that the Civil War was "frame-up'
While ina barber shop the other
day getting one OF those 25c shaves,
an old gentleman came in. who
had suffered some injury in trying

Now, if the wife of that prominent

she would not have construed his per-
mission for her to go to a dance to
mean that she could also go to the

missed the severe beating he gave her

In THE POLITICAL
BOILER
By A. N. FIELDS

III the ratification on the Federal
Woman's Suffrage Amendment, re-
Gently passed by the Tennessee Legis-
lature is sustained, it will mean that
our women IN common with other
race groups-that is to say in states
where we have not been robbed OF
the right to vote-will have the equal
right of suffrage and will be given
an opportunity to assist in determin-
ing many of the great questions which
are now confronting our national
government for solution. This is as
il should be and is a step in the
right direction in that the response
bility of obtaining higher civic and
political standard will receive new
impetus.
Determining Factor
II the enactment is sustained by the
Federal Government the women's
vote will be the determining factor
in the presidential election and will
enable us as group Gf properly
directed), to obtain many of the nat
ural rights long denied us by the
party which has SO long claimed our
allegiance. The new voters, because
OF their progressive attitude will de-
1nand real rule of the people and
will give greater safeguard to the
future public welfare of our people.
Their advent into politics will infuse
new blood and new, IDEAS in our. sys,e
fem of government ant. will bring to
the frort new type OF leadership.
Honest Leadership Needed
The entering of intelligent women
in politics will serve to destroy lot
of sinister agencies now operating to
our detriment under the guise of race
leadership. 1t will bring to the front
a type of men and women who pos
sess a special racial morality and
whose motive in politics will be to
serve the common cause OF their
country and their race. Unfortunate

dom Chat is to say, physical free
DOM, we are still burdened with a
type of men who are posing as leaders
and are occupying places of prom
inence who are in fact but political
cancers striking at the very heart oil
the race they claim to lead. We are
compelled to view with concern and
alarm the manifest decadence oil
ethical ideals in the life of a number
OF our leaders who claim to speak

ity, morality sufficiently strong and
vril to determine the beginning oil
number of social and political move
ments calculated to inspire and dom

Our Position Undetermined
Our struggle for political and econ
omic freedom will not be obtained
through the hustling, grating Negro
preacher, lawyer or doctor, who seeks
to crown his efforts with unholy gold,
using the race as his sole political
asset For over fifty years we have
been burdened with that type OF
leadership who have made their pro-
fessions the medium through which
their political collection agencies
would operate. The coming of
women into politics will help to
change these conditions and will
bring the dawn of a new day for
our political freedom much nearer.

TVERY good Elk in Chicago is
either going or has gone to the
Elk's Convention i'll Kansas
City. Nosey was at the train to say
fond farewell last Saturday night
and noticed the wife, and the pretty
wife, too, of that Pullman porter who
had left a few hours before on his
regular nine day trip 10 Los Angeles
get aboard the train. But Nosey's
eyes opened wide when he saw the
prominent business man, politician,
and man of affairs board the same
train and sit in the same compart-
ment of the Pullman car. Nothing
would have been thought Of the Incl
dent if one did not remember that it
was only three weeks ago that this
same gentleman had to leave this
lady's house while she held the door,
preventing her husband from enter
ing on his return from the station
after missing his regular run. Con-
vcntions are great things, CHI?
XIOUNG housewives should be
Y careful about joining the House
wives Union and then going on
a strike. That young real estate
dealers wife who went on strike
up into the Michigan woods will find
that her place has been capably filled
in her absence. Noticing the shadow
OF woman's form fitting back and
forth across the lowered shade, and
knowing that the wife was away,
Nosey inquired as to the why's and
wherefores OF the mystery. He was
politely informed that the young
husband had employed a strikebreak-
er. Oh, you scab labor!

NTOSEY was standing in front of
" one OF those stores that say on
the front. Five and Ten Cent
Store. and where you go in and find
that five and ten cents refer only to
the handle of a tea pot and that the
whole pot costs you dollar. A
truck from Carson, Pirie, Scott drove
up and unloaded a whole lot OF boxes.
The next day Nosey priced some of
the articles and then visited the en-
porium OF Carson. Pirie, Scott at one
of those basement sales and saw
where that store on 35th Street could
make a good profit selling articles at
the prices they did Yet the good
accommodating colored people buy
and buy with no sense of values.
Another case of, How do they do
| it,"
lNN last Monday Nosey was forced
to cat again and pushed his
way into one of those coffee
stands" on State Street that some
time move away to different loca-
ton for the next day and ordered up
some coffee Over the coffee urn was
sign that read. Don't make fun
of the coffee. you may be old and
weak some day" Nosey had TO
smile at the frankness and made copy
OF the sign to present it to that nice
little dirty restaurant on 35th Street
near State. as they need it more thar
the little pig ankle joint.

y their love affairs out of theil

that two mattresses at what used tc

to blows and spilled the perfectly
good blackberry cobbler all oyer the

OUR POLITICAL ARTICLES

For the past few issues the Press
has been running few columns OF
articles furnished US by the State
Campaign Committees of both par
ties. They are run by us so that
our readers may get the views Of the
leaders Of both the great parties,
thus enabling them to vote more in
telligently by knowing both sides Of
the question.
With this end in view we have gone
further in this service to our readers
and opened our columns to the local
committees Of the two major parties
80 that you may be more fully in
formed.
These articles in no way are in
tended to voice the sentiments Of The
Crittenden Press. The paper feels
that owing to the fact that 1t is the
only paper in the county and has
many readers Of different political
faiths, that it is only due them that
the paper be non-partisan.
