MIR. WHITES ADDRESS

Master of Ceremony, Rev. Gaines,
neighbors, I want to thank Hon
John Mitchell for his kind tntroduc-
ton. We further want to extend to
Rev. King and members of the Fifth
street Baptist Church our thanks for
the kind invitation. In representing
the American Woodmen tonight, I
can say that we tried eight times;
seven times we failed but the eighth
time / believe we have made a con-
crete stand. / thought what won
derful and blessed thing it is to us
that Our people are learning the val
ue of cooperation, confidence, bell eff
and love. Do you know that in the
last ten years the Negro has made
more progress than ever because he
has learned the value of cooperation,
confidence, belief and love.
NEGROES JOINING THE RACE.
In the jast ten years we have had
larger number Of people to join the
Negro race than ever before. and
that is the object OF my life. to get
the Negro to join the co1ored race.
We say we hate the segregation law
and jim-crowism, but the segregation
law and jim-crowism WILL never cease
until We have learned to respect each
other and respect ourselves. We have
law prohibiting lynching; we have
law prohibiting peonage, but in
Mississippi there are one million Ne
groes held In slavery. We have the
Eighteenth Amendment in the Con-
stftution, that law which is main
tanned in the Eighteenth Amendment
IS the Constitution itself.

fact that of all the communica tfons
that the board of education received or
the teachers salary bill question there

All the letters were faulttndings
and new suggestions and it was EN-.
barrassing to me to find that the pub

board did not receive one letter OF
thanks for their interest and work,
declared DR.. Ballou.
The school superintendent said tha,
in conversation with the director

torday, won a notable victory. with
majority figures Of 40S to 127 He
thus reversed the minority vote of
270 to 295 given on the same measure
in the chamber last Tuesday, which is
taken as an Indication that Poincare
WieldS as much authority in parrt a
mention questions of internal pol. .cs
as on those Of foreign policy.
The chamber had been .flcundering
in q maze of electoral law plans,
counter plans, amendments and sub
amendments for nine entire sittings,
when suddenly the premier abandoned
his mild remonstrances, arose and ut
tered q few sharp sentences, in which
the word confidence was often re-
peated.
Before parliament realized it. the
ballots were cast and the bill was
passed
The law which will govern the 1924
elections, according to the measure,
reads:
ELECTIONS will take place upon bal
lot1ng for list system. The electoral
-quotient will be dete rnined by di-
viding the number Of votes cast by
the number of deputies to be elected.
The average OF each list will be OBJ
tanned by dividing the number of
votes polled by that list by the num-
Der of deputies to be elected AS
many seats will be allotted each list
as the number of times it contains
the electoral quotient. The splitting
of tickets will be permitted, but no
list not containing as many candi-
dates as there are deputies to be
elected will be admitted"
Charles BERNARD depufy for paris
said after the vote: M Poincare

as Mussolini does Italy's, but with
