Several prominent colored speakers
met with the colored Republican
women of the southside at the home

ming and discussed the issues of the
political campaign. Every speaker
OF the evening pledged support to
Calvin Coolidge, Charles G. Dawes,
Dwight B. Heard and the entire Re-
publican ticket which will come be
fore the voters November 4.
Each of the speakers condemned
activities being conducted to create
a feeling of race prejudice among the
less well informed colored voters of
the state.
Another meeting has been arrang-
ed for the colored Republican women
at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Nc
Cutcheon, 1915 East Jefferson street
at 8 O'Clock Monday evening. Invi

CHARLES GRISSLER
NLARGER QUARTERS,
SO ". WASHINGTON

A steady and well earned increase
in his patronage since he first estab-
lished tailor shop at IS West Wash
ington Is years ago, has made it
necessary for Charles Grissler to
move into larger quarters at 80 West
Washington in the Walker building
next to the Rialto theater.
Mr. Grissler will occupy the entire
lower floor of the Walker building
and retain workshop on the second
floor where the skylights will afford
his tailors better light to turn out
the fine workmanship which Mr.. Girls
sler's shop has always had the repu-
tation of producing.
Mr.. Grissler said this morning that
he now has eight expert tailors at
work and if business continues to
be as good as it has in the past few
weeks he will find it necessary to
double, and possibly triple his force

on their way to Phoenix from San
Francisco. which he gives credit for
being the best dressed up" city
in the world.
Frisco people dress better, on
whole than the citizens of any other
place in the world" Grissler declared.
Therefore it is naturally to be ex-
pected that Frisco would produce
more tailors than any other city OF
its size: Tailoring concerns from
all part of the United States draw
their tailors from San Francisco.
New York City is next to San Fran
cisco with Chicago third in producing
expert tailors."

DETROIT CHURCH COSTS
QUARTER OF A MILLION

DETROIT, Mich-As a result of
the heavy migration of the colored
people of Detroit, Bethel Church has
had to get new quarters. The people
flocked to hear the young pastor,
Rev. Joseph Romez, in such large
numbers that the old edifice became
ing. Then business interests began
activities in the church grew so great
that it was utterly impossible to pro-
vide for them in the present build
ing. Then business interest Slogan
to enroach. A good opportunity
came to sell the old church for a good
price and to move to a more con-
venient location and to put the kinU
OF church needed for the grow
ing population of Detroit.
The New Bethel A. M. E. church,
Detroit, Mich, when completed will
rank as one of the largest and best
equipped churches Of the connection
and race. The plans call for seat
ing capacity in the main auditorium
of $4,000, with offices for pastor, sec
retary, trustees, stewards, steward
esses and choir.
In the basement there will be a
dining room large enough for 45o
persons, clubs and rest rooms, and
Sunday school departments for pri-
mary and intermediate classes, cloak
room, service room and kitchen,
gymnasium and showers, etc.
The lot on which the church is be-
ing built was purchased only two and
one-half years ago for $4,000 Ad-
joining the new church is also a
double brick house, part of the bar
gain. Rev. Gomez has completed his
fifth year as pastor and all of this
has been accomplished in the last
three years of his administration. He
reported as having raised this year
over $4,000. twice as much as the
amount reported last year.

YUMA
INDIANS WILL
HOLD power
HoItviIIe Editor Sees Important
Angle in Enfranchisement of
New Voters Who Change Pol
itical Line-ups in Imperial
County.

That Yuma Indians, recently en-
franchised, may hold the balance of
poiitical power in Imperial county,
C9lif., IS a fear expressed by the
Holtville Tribune, which, in its cur
rent issue, says:
With the granting of the franchise
to Indians in the United States who
comDl' with the national and state
laws, a new factor has been injected
in Imperial valley politics.
According to L. L. Odle, superin-
tendent of the Indian reservation, To-
Gated in the extreme eastern part of
Imperial county, about 200 indians
will be qualified to vote in the cleo
tion next after the presidential poll
on November 4. Only about twenty
five will be eligible to vote in the
approaching election, since only that
number hastened to register to COM
ply with the state requirements.
Imperial valley elections often
SINCE upon a few hundred votes
And accoring to Superintendent Odle,
the Indians of the Yuma reservation
will hold the balance of power.
Thus, say close observers of the
new situation developing here a
small group of persons, far from
the center of Imperial county af-
fairs, and more closely related to
Yuma than to Imperial valley, will
vote in Imperial valley matters, and
perhaps control them.
What effect this will have in COM
ing political affairs is hard to sur
mise. The Indians have in reality,
it is understood, paid but little at
tention to Imperial county affairs.
How they vote will depend upon who
can gain their good will and their
understanding.
THAT 'they will vote as a man
with scarcely stray, is also an ac-
cepted fact, according to politicians
of the county.
"All agree that the new situation
will create one of the most interest
ing points in coming elections, and
that the Yuma Indian reservation
fifty miles from the county seat, and
separated by an uninhabited desert,
will. be in all probability the battle
ground"

THE PUBLIC PAYS

Railroad valuation work up to the
present time has cost the railroads
and the public approximately $780,
100000 and it is estimated that it will
take S5,000,000 more to complete the
job. After that it will require S4OO,-
900 annually to keep the valuations
up to date. Congress has spent $685.
100000 and the railroads S7O,OO0,-
900 in doing this work.
1t would be really hard to say
wherein the public has actually bene!
fitted from this large expenditure
of money which has not built any new
track, terminal facilities or provided
equipment for the convenience of the
public.
One hundred million dollars has,
however; been taken out of the pockets
of the taxpayers, the traveller and the
freight shipper. The railroads have
had to add the most of this proceed
ing to their rates.
This is merely one of the many
numerous overhead charges which it
is impossible for the carriers to es-
cape under multiple system of re-
gulation by states, nation and labor
organizations. 1t is a marvel that
any business can survive and give de-
cent service with so many bosses.

per hour of a to 16-page newspaper,
or fewer number of 32 page papers,
the Afro-American of this city step

CITY STREETS VS.
COUNTRY ROADS


Anybody who has travelled in an
automobile has seen many miles of
poor paving on country highways.
This is largely due to the fact that
the lessons learned by cities in street
paving have in many instances not
been applied to the country roads.
Hence, the taxpayer pays twice for
learning the same lesson.
Seldom do you see a rigid, non
shock-absorbing type of pavement on
heavily Travelled city street. Instead
you find a.resilient type of pavement
capable of withstanding traffic. 1t
must be water tight to keep the sub
grade dry. Commenting on .775,OO0
square yards of this type of pavement
laid in Portland, Oregon, since 1911,
the Commission of Public Works in a
recent published letter, said:
"The maintenance of these pave
ments has been negligible, requiring
slight repairs along car tracks or for
service cuts. Many of these streets
carry very heavy traffic, yet they are
in very satisfactory condition and
give every indication of good service
in years to come"
Hundreds of miles of Oregon high
ways have been laid in a manner
similar to Portland streets and they
have required little or no maintenance.
With such object lessons to go by all
over the country, it is astonishing to
see tax money wasted in experimental
construction of various kinds on coun-
ty and state roads.
