GOVERNMENT DEFENDS
COHEN in CUSTER SUIT
FILED BY DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Unit
ed States attorney at New Orleans
has been instructed by the Depart
ment of Justice to proceed with the
defence of the suit brought by II.
Edwin Bolte, who seeks to enjoin
Walter L. Cohen, colored comptroller
Of customs at New Orleans, from dis
charging the duties of that office.
There was conference here to-
day between Comptroller Cohen and
Perry w. Howard, special assistant
to the attorney general, who consult
ed with Bascom Slemp, secretary
to President Coolidge and officials of
the Treasury Department and the
Department of Justice. The result
was that the government assumed
the defence of the suit with Mr..
Howard in charge of the Washington
proceedings.
This action of the administration, !"
Comptroller Cohen said, shows con-
clusively the attitude of President
Coolidge toward the colored citizenry,
for the suit is not against me per-
sonally but has as its aim the dis
en- francisement of every colored
person in the United States. l now,
as always, call upon the colored vot-
ers of the country to vote the Re-
publican ticket for Coolidge and
Dawes"
Mr.. Howard believes that the suit
will be dismissed upon the ground
that Bolte is not such an interested
party as might maintain such suit
and the courts will not permit
public Office to be harrassed by per-
son whose interest is not above that
of the general public.

CHILDREN WHIPPED WITH
HOSE IN N. Y. SCHOOL,

ELMSFORD, N. Y.-Up to last
week it was the custom of How
ard L. Holden, white, and 16 of his
teachers to use a rubber hose in dis.
ciplining the children.
Today all that has been changed.
Principal Holden has been ordered to
obtain consent OF the parents before
rubber hosing the children. The
parents who object to the rubber
hosing OF their children by Holden
will be requested to punish their
children at home for misdeeds in
school
II came about when Helen and
Walter Lewis, two colored children
were rubber hosed by Holden.
Mrs. Lewis took the matter up with
the School Board and Holden, two
members of the BOARD and several
OF his teachers threatened to resign
Mrs. Lewis took ii into the courts
and police justice Scott ruled teach.
ers could not punish children with
a rubber hose.
Now that compromise has heen
effected the whole town is at peace

would be soft pickings in the role OF
evangelist"
Jacks plans were alright but they
just wouldn't work. Just as the
heavyweight fighter was about to
make his debut as minister the
little church split into two opposing
factions. Mrs. Eugene Evens, wife
of the pastor who is out of the city,
refused to sanction Jack being in his
pulpit until he, Jack, reforms She al
so said the invitation was to put Jack
in good with the church people so
they would not attempt to stop him if
he wants to fight.
Half of the members of the little
church declare Jack has reformed
and is plenty good enough to preach
in any pulpit.
So Jack finds himself with half a
congregation on his hands and with
the alternative of taking his flock
under his wings and building a house
of worship or deserting them and
giving up his minstrel ambitions.
Close friends of the ex-champ say
it is most likely that Jack will fol,
low the path of least resistance as
winter is comping on and it is a
hard matter to get support out of a
whole congregation and it wasn't his
intention to start church anyway

TARIFF PROTECTS
COTTON GROWERS
SAY REPUBLICANS

In a statement issued at Republi-
can committee headquarters here to-
day attention was called to the fact
that the Houston Post-Dispatch, one
of the leading newspapers of Demo
cratic Texas, wants to know why
Texas should produce 100000 bales
of cotton annually and ship practical
ly all of it from 1000 to 1000 miles
to be manufactured and returned to
the Lone Star state in finished form,
the conclusion being that Texas
should manufacture its own cotton
products.
"This is exactly the attitude the
Republican party assumes nationally, .
the statement declares. "Why should
American cotton growers ship their
cotton to England and Europe to
have it returned in manufactured
form? That is exactly what happens
under a Democratic free trade tariff
law, but the Republican tariff pro-
tects both cotton grower and cotton
manufacturer by putting a duty on
imported cotton goods, thus prevent
ing the flooding of this country with
imported cotton cloths.
"The result is that American labor
is assured continued employment in
the cotton mills; American cotton
growers are assured a home market.
and the consumer is certainly not
injured since, despite this tariff
protection, there was shipped into
this country 4OO,OOO,OOO yards of cot
ton cloth made in Europe in the
last fiscal year. nearly five times as
much as was shipped in during 1918.
"If this policy would be good for
Texas, as indicated in the Texas
newspaper article, why is it not
equally good for the entire country ?
The many former Texans now resi-
dent in Arizona can easily answer
this question, and will doubtless
render their answer at the ballot box
next November"
