change because now monthly records of busi-
ness are not exact. The months are not of equal
length; the number of paydays and days beyond
four weeks vary; the weekday names are differ
ent and each day of the week has a different
economic value, and Easter wanders over 35 days
in March and April.
The league of nations has had a committee
studying the question. It Investigated 1876 pro-
posalS of calendar reform and has reached the
conclusion that calendar defects" can be remed-
led by an international conference to decide four
relatively simple questions as follows:
Should the calendar have it's weekday names
perpetually fixed to the same dates every year
by including an extra sabbath in the last week
of each year?
Should quarters of the year be made equal by
alternating two months Of 80 days and one of 81
days, or should there be 13 months of four weeks
each, with the thirteenth month added between
June and July?
Should Casters date be fixed for the Sunday
after April each year?
upon which year shall the simplified calen-
dar begin?"
January 1, 1888, is the first New Years day
to fall on Sunday and that date, therefore is
suggested; but decision must be reached not
later than 1929 to fit into tide, astronomical and
other calculations that must be made years in
advance. Mr.. Eastman points out that many
American and European countries are now oper-
ating on 28-day month for accounting purposes
Church leaders, he says, favor a fixed Easter
on April Is each year. Since the World war
nations with 3OO,OOO,OOO population have changed
their calendars.

AL SMITH AND TAMMANY
From the Dawson County Review

From the Dawson County Review
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. recently made /
speech that reminds us considerably of his illus
trious father He called attention to few things /
in connection with the candidacy of AL Smith that
are important.
That the speech hurt is evidenced by the furious
denunciation from the Democratic press that has
greeted it on all sides.
Usually, in connection with the distinguished !
governor of New York, the questions of religion |
and prohibition have occupied the center of the
stage.
The doughty colonel, however, devoted his re-
marks to the history and accomplishments of
Tammany Hall, that odious Democratic organiza-
tion of New York City.
Tammany has existed for many decades and
always has it been closely connected with graft
and corruption. New York has always been
pointed to the worst-governed city in the world
J because it has nearly always been controlled by
the sinister Tammany Hall which, in the public
mind, has ever stood for the worst graft and
crookedness.
Colonel Roosevelt reminded his hearers that
a leopard cannot change it's spots, nor tiger its
stripes and that the desperate efforts of Governor
Smiths friends to paint Tammany as white and
clean as snow are idle and absurd when Tammany
: today is just as it always has been and always
/ will be.
For the first time in the history Of the nation
the shadow of Tammany Hall lies athwart the
White House. That shadow fnust be dispelled, .
said Roosevelt.
n "A man must be judged by the company he
e keeps, and although we do not question the per
sonal integrity of Governor Smith, he is sponsored
and backed by Tammany Hail. Next to being
corrupt yourself is toleratmg it in your supper
ters"

Democrats in the West and South to think twice

ecy, it can be flatly said that this pro-
gram will fail and Will only bring
fresh disappointment 70 its originat-
Ors.
When Calvin Coolidge laid down
the thought that folks ''who hire
money must expect to pay for it" he.
enunciated the American viewpoint.
This has been accepted by the whole
people. Years ago when this agita-
tion first began, there was a pOssibil-
lty, It the government had been ap-
preached in a fair, open and above
board way, and plea had been made
| asking US to extend a helping hand,
that IN addition to the cancellation we
have already agreed to, we would
have gone still further to tighten the
load.
Instead of appreciating it in this;
way, our friends overseas adopted the
attitude that cancellation was not
even courtesy, but was their right.
With foreign lecturers, propagandists
and tea-hound diplomats they began.
to tell the American people what they
must do with their own American
dollars. 1t was right there that they
killed the goose that aid the golden
egg. AS long as our own farmers are
obliged every six months, to walk to
the local bank and lay down the in
terest on their own farm mortgages
with money they have sweated out of
the soil, the president and the Amer
: lean people will never agree to any
gesture providing for the cancellation
of debts for money loaned by Amer
: lea and raised originally by our own
farmers and our own workmen.

CURTIS CANDIDATE

SENATOR CURttS CAND1DA1E
Washington, D. C.-Senator Curtis
of Kansas today occupies the unique
position of being the Onlv formal and
announced candidate for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. The
president himself has declared that he
does not choose to be a candidate;
Governor Lowden has in no way am
plified his original statement that no
man ever ran away from the presi-
dency, and even the most searching
examination of newspaper files fails
to disclose any statement from
Hoover, Dawes, Hughes or Long
worth. While the farm bloc has dis
cussed Senator Norris, his hat is still
on his head and not IN the ring.
The thought was expressed by a
certain Washington newspaper rep
resentative that the Curtis declara-
tion might stir some of the other
candidates into a legal admission of
their ambition. But a week has now
passed and nothing has happened
The situation is confusing and extra
ordinary, and it is also fraught with
some DANCER. While all these gen.
! tlemen are actuated in part by their
thought that the office should seek
the man, rather than the man seek

Dental nominating machinery in GER

ing his candidacy. This is a phase OF

possibility that an absolutely un

SIMPLIFYING THE CALENDAR

Proposals for calendar sirnplification have oc-
Cured regularly since the adoption of standard
time by an international conference called by
President Arthur in 1884. Standard time became
effective in 1886 and is now so universal that
most people have forgotten that any other system
ever was used. The latest proponent of promin-
ence advocating calendar simpIification is George
Eastman. He presented his views recently befors

MAYOR WALKER

EXTRA WHITE

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-(A.A.N.)-
In more ways than one Mayor
Jimmy Walker of New York
created a sensation abroad accord
ing to returned travellers.
Last weeks Italian papers tell of
the Mayor attempting to draw the
color line in Rome by asking the
proprietor TO exclude colored pa
irons from, the cafe where he dined
He did the same thing in Paris,
the Associated Negro Press was In
formed Tuesday. Here is what hap
pened: Mayor Walker accompanied
by several friends and without Mrs.
Walker entered the Pazale Cabaret.
in Paris late at night Drinking was
continuous. He invited a group of
white girls to sit at his table. Among
them was a fair colored American
girl, but the Mayor did not know it,
The Mayor "did not seem himself
and proceeded to tell his guests
how he despised colored folk. As
he became wilder in his actions
the Mayor called the proprietor and
requested that all colored patrons
in the cabaret be excluded.
The proprietor refused declaring
that the colored folk were his regu-
lar patrons while he did not expect
to see the Mayor again. 1t was
also explained to the Mayor thai.
Paris laws strictly forbid any color
discrimination in public places and
those who violate the laws lose
their license. After this explana-
tion the Mayor cooled down and
made no further complaint Mayor
Walker was drinking champagne
which perhaps accounted for his
muddled condition. At one time
there were sixteen bottles on. his
table.

WHITE STUDENTS
AT GARY SCHOOL
WIN S I RIKE

GARY, Ind, Oct. 9.-(Special) -
Fourteen hundred striking students
of the Emerson High school in
Cary, having won what they consid-
cred a complete victory in their
fight to get rid of colored pupils in
the institution, went quietly back
to their classes Friday.
Preceding the return to their
books massmeeting was held at
which the strike leaders explained
the terms agreed to by the city
council These were approved.
OF the twenty-four colored stu
dents only three will continue at
Emerson. They are seniors and
have taken the full course. The
strikers expressed themselves willing
to allow them to remain The other
twenty-one were transferred to a
temporary junior high school for
Negroes, hastily established after
the council had passed to a third
reading a bill appropriating $4,000
for II.
Emerson he'd had only the three
colored students. When the others,
through a redistricting. were sent
there leaders of the white school"
forces, with the approval of their
parents, walked out. They held
parades in which banners bearing
the legend, I'VE Won't Go Back
Until Emerson is White" were car
ried.
Supt. Writ declared at the start
that he was powerless to transfer
the colored students to another
school, pointing out that while the
Indiana law provided for segrega-
tion under certain circumstances, II
specified that the Negroes must be
given the same facilities If such a
measure was adopted.
The city council, with three Negro
members dissenting, then took a
hand, and on Thursday passed the
bill that resulted in the return of
the strikers to their studies

have discovered that Negroes
who come here in search of work
very soon wish that they were home
again. This is true to no. small ex-
tent also of Negroes who come from
regions other than the United States,
a condition due not to color preju-
dice but to the keener struggle for
existence, the greater competition
for the job.
Perfect Freedom
In Continental Europe the op-
pressed Negro from South Africa or
the United States will find perfect
freedom from color prejudice he
will also find, unless he has money,
that it is one thing to have freedom,
but another to have something
with which to enjoy it. He will be
reminded of the story of the rich
man in the Arabian Nights who took
a hungry beggar to his sumptuous
home, seated him at magnificent
table, and then had him served emp
ty dishes. have told of the hard
ships of Negroes in London, Mar
seilles and other places, and there
Is more to follow.
Musician
The single exception to the above
has been the Negro musician. and
that field is now over-crowded. With
England doing her best to keep out
colored performers. France-and TO
speak ly-Montmartre is really
the only field worth speaking of in

show what is necessary to protect the
whites.
In Your Place
The old Southern plantation own
er. General Darr, believes in and
loves Negroes in their place, and con-
tinues kind to them after the "trou-
Bile" caused by the northern employ

the wormwood and gall of the play
sets in. Young Darr. 3, grandson
Of the old southern aristocrat, has
an affair with Cleo, a beautiful
young mulatta girl. CONSERVATION
reigns and. the spirit of the South is
shown by the author in making the
Elder Darr decide to shoot the young
scion of the Oar family rather than
have their blood tainted Instead
of doing this the play ends with a
happy ending when young Darr dis
cards his colored sweetheart and mar
ries the daughter of the northerner.
Thus this author builds up a gra-
idation of values in flesh and blood,
hearts and souls and human feelings.
Like so much dross the life Of beau
tiful young girl Is whirled between
the passions and loves Of white men
and women. And with cankering
prejudice he adds dash of cocaine
and esensuous yoluptuousness to
screen away the real humanness and
beauty of the colored girl.
Leonard Doyle and Lota Sanders,
both white. play the parts Of 'Ycllcr

play has been hit. this season and
despite It's blatant melodrama hae
attracted unusual interest.
