SPEAKER HITS FOES
OF PROHIBITION LAW
c. N. Howard Challenges Right of
Congress to Seat Members Who
Advocate Modification.

Clinton y. Howard, chairman of the
united committee for prohibition en-
forcement, addressing a law enforce
ment mass meeting in Calvary Baptist
Church, Eighth and Fl streets. yester-
day afternoon challenged the right of
Congress to seat any member who
seeks election on platform that
would modify the Volstead act. Meet
ing with the committee was the Inter
national Reform Federation.
I'VE deny the right of any politi-
cian,' declared Mr.. Howard in the
midst of an attack upon William s.
Ware, Senatorelect from Pennsyl-
Nania, ito take his seat in the Con-
Eress of the United States who. during
his campaign, promises those who are
violating the law that he will nullify
and disregard the Constitution by pro-
viding them intoXicants, knowing that
he must solemnly swear to defend the
Constitution and all the amendments :"
Mr.. Howard called upon the Senate
to have a look" into the ballot boxes
holding the votes that elected Ware.
Representative Thomas l.. Blanton
of Texas presided. He made a short
address. but did not mention the Penn
sylvania election controversy. DR..

spokesman, pleaders. fighters" Sena-
tor Walsh declared, and added: Your
work, that of uniting the church to
the negro problem, is great honor
and a privilege. / wish to express my
profound and sincere appreciation of
that devotion which has brought you
to make the sacrifices you are making
to let the church know more about
you
The Senator said that through the
meeting of negroes of great ability
here he has become stirred by the
great possibilities of growth and spread
of Catholicism among the people of
this race"
Mr.. Walsh was introduced by Eu-
tendent Of public schools. Rev. Rob-
ert f. Froelich was celebrant of the
high mass which opened the conven-
ton, while Rev. Norman E. Duckett,
colored priest of Detroit. and former
altar boy at St. Augustine's, preached
the sermon. T. w. Turner of Hamp-
ton Institute presided as chairman of
the session, which was welcomed by
Rev. j. e. Olds.
DR.. Albert Ridgeley, in a. brief ad-
dress, declared that the aims of the
are the devisement of

the negro in the Catholic Church, and
to assist in the propagation of the
faith among the 100000 American
negroes reported to be without church
connection of any denomination.

CATHOLICS URGED
TO AVOID ANGER
Kind Replies to Critics Ad-
vised at Convention of
C0Iored Federation.

Attacks upon the Catholic Church
should be answered in kindly and
sane tone in the secular press, Rev.
John La Fargo, associate editor OF
America, the official organ of the
Jesuit Order. declared this morning,
addressing the second annual conven-
ton of the Federated Colored Cath
olics of the United States in two
day convention at st. Augustine's
Church.
To answer with bitterness such
denunciations as might be di-
rected at the church, Father LaFarge
said, is folly. Where the church re-
ceives commentator or praise from
an outside source, he said, Catholics
should be even more prompt in ex-
pressing their gratitude. Such meas
ures, he hopes, will bring about a. bet
ter understanding and harmony be-
tween Catholics and members of other
faiths.
Name Officers Today.
Several resolutions are being adopt
ed this afternoon and these include
the expression of fealty to country
and church. The annual election of
officers will take place this Afternoon,
after which the convention will ad-
journ to allow it's delegates, who are
representative of colored Catholics of
all parts of the country, to make
sightseeing tour of Washington.
The convention opened yesterday
morning with a high mass at St.
Augustine's Church, and although the
official registration of delegates is 100,
the church was crowded.
Walsh Expresses Appreciation.
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
who was today sworn in as the sue
cessor of Senator Butler, in address
ing the convention at the opening ses-
sion yesterday expressed his personal
interest in Catholic negroes and con-
graduated the members of the conven-
ton on assuming the duties of lead
ership and in banding together, that
your strength, your solidarity and
your religious fervor may be made

OYALTY

Loyalty is that quality which
prompts a person to be true TO the
thing he undertakes.
Loyalty supplies power, poise, pur-
pose, ballast and works for health and
success.
Nature helps the loyal man.
If you are careless, Slipshod, IN
different, nature assumes that you wish
to be nobody and grants your
prayer.
Loyalty, in one sense, is love, for it
is form of attraction.
A vacilating mind is "A sick mind
in sick body. Vacillation is lack of
loyalty-and it is a disease.
Loyalty is not a mere matter of
brain capacity; success does not go TO
those who know the most-it gravl-
tates to those who are true to the
cause they undertake. This one thing
/ do"
There are lawyers who deceive
clients, public and court when oppor-
tunity offers, yet who are loyal to the
interests of their families. Yet a
lawyer may be true to his profession
and false to his wife.
Every man who succeeds in any.
thing wins through his unninching
unfailing, tireless loyalty.
Success hinges on loyalty. Be tru,
to your art, your business, your EN-
ployer, your "house." Dalliance il
defeat.
"All is fair in love and war" is I
maxim that may be true as regards
war, but never as to love.
III ga l.,

nature and wrecks the venture
Loyalty is for one who is loyal.
