LOUISIANA NEWSPAPER CITES ONE
REASON WHY NEGROES ARE
LEAVING SHREVEPORT

The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People, So
Fifth Avenue, New York, today made
public extracts from an open letter
published September % by the Shreve
port Sun, colOred Louisiana news
paper. citing the beating OF cOlore'i
women by white men as cause Of the
Negro exodus from that section. TIE
Shreveport Sun gives the following
eyewitness stories:
''On Friday morning, September q.
between and 8 o'clock, ] was coming
to town on the Highland Car. Al
one Of the stops in Kings Highway, 1
heard the conductor ask, What did you
SAY" On iioN.Lg around found that
ne was talking to young cOlored we
man--the only one on the car. He
opened the door Of the car, the woman
leaped from the car and began run
nlng. The conductor LETT his car and
chased her nearly block. When ne
overlook her, he struck her severa.
times with his fist, holding his car
key IN the other hand. The woman
showed no tlghJ at All, ner only uu'
tense being an attempt to escape; bu.
this proved insufficient and the bra,>.
heroic conductor gave the defenseiesS
helpless cOlOred woman SOUND beat
ing on the public highway.
Several white men and Il few col; :
ed men were on the car. MOI one word
was said IN the defense of this unpro-
tected, helpless colOred woman. The
white men said nothing because, pos
sibly, they did not care to be mixed up
with the affair, and the colored men
said nothing because they knew that
IL would mean additional trouble in
which they would get the worst of the
deal regardless to the rightness OF
their stand"
TWO WHITE MEN BEAT
COLORED CIR.
"A few weeks ago two white men
beat 15 year old colored girl on
Marshall street in sight OF the Posi-
Office Building IN the presence vi
many people, states another coloI 1u
citizen who was struck in the face by
one OF the ASSISTANTS OF the girl whe.
he attempted to rescue her.

Action this problem has been long under consideration
and during the hacyon days of Quay came near
beng placed into operation The Republican Party has patiently
waited with the hope that the DEMOCRATIC SOUTH would
through EDUCATION and ENVIRONMENT be able To
THINK ABOVE IT'S RACIAL PREJUDICES. But as time
went on that section became deeply ntrenced in it's position
of dsfranchisement and more closely chained idols This
was due to the encouragement aid and allotment rendered bv
the National Democratic Party which would be read entirely
OUT of court but for the electoral obtained from the
South and the Souh denial of the right franchise to its
colored citizens.
1t is for this that Northern not only approve
but openly FOSTER the DISFRANCHISEMENT of the
COLORED VOTER IN THE SOUTH Bv so doino tho
DEMOCRATIC PARTY STARTS into every national election
with the electoral of the SOLID SOUTH as an ACE IN
The HOLE Here lies the indpuable fact that any proes
tao OF friendship for the Negro volunteered the Democrats

RICHARDSON PARK, DEL,
April decomposition, the life
of trade, converted 400 or more
Youngsters into advocates Of
the free-trade doctrine, when
ice cream dealers engaged in a
cut price war that ended when
Willard Seidle, the postmaster,
proceeded to give away the deli
cacy. The dealers, five in all,
handle Wilmington and Phila-
delphia ice cream, and trade be-
gan to pick up with the ap-
proach of spring.
First one dealer and then an
other announced a reduction in
price, when Seidle, who oper-
ates a store along with the
postoffice, distributed free tick
cts, emitting each child holding
one to half pint Of cream. The
supply was soon exhausted, but
the wholesaler kept Seidle sup
piled throughout the day, an
extra truck being pressed into
service to carry the cream from
Wilmington.
Altogether 400 half pints
were presented to as many chill
dren, but the other dealers are
threatening to put on a pro-
gram in retaliation.

Will Increase Farmers Income

Senator Points Out.

written Expressly for Cosmopolitan
News Service.)
The declaration by the United
States Supreme Court that the
grain futures act, which is devised
to prevent gambling in grain on
boards of trade and grain ex'
changes is constitutional, is heart
ening.
/ believe the law will tend to pre-
vent speculation, and whatever does
that, naturally tends to reduce
prices.
AS it has been in the past, the
spread between cost of production.
and the price to consumer has been
considerable and unwarranted, but
with speculation eliminated, the
price of bread, for instance, should
be closer to that Of the producers
price of wheat.
Cooperative Bodies Aided. .
If remember correctly, the law
provides that the markets shall be
open to all, and If so, cooperative
organizations shall be eligible to
membership to grain exchanges,
and this will be decided advan-

bers of cooperative organizations;
provided they decide to become
members of grain exchanges in the
sale Of their products.
It is more likely, however, that
the co-operatives will make sales
to manufacturers or consumers,
which will eliminate all middleman
expenses. ses'-
In other words, the decision of
the Supreme Court is victory for
the farmer, inasmuch, as he can
control his own products through
the marketing; but 1t is only one
link in the great chain.
Farmer and Consumer Saves.
This decision makes possible the
organization Of machinery on the
part of the producers for market
ing, which will enable them to sup
ply their products to the consumer
so that ultimately the cost of bread
will be greatly reduced, at the same
time returning more to the farmer
producer.
If all unnecessary n1iddlemen' g
expenses were done away with, out
of the consumers dollar, where
now 20 cents goes for transportas
ton and middlemen's expenses,
leaving only 80 cents for producer.
it would mean that the farmer
could receive an increase of Is
cents on the dollar and the con-
sumner would be able to purchase
at Is per cent below present costs.
