7 EARNED EDITORIALS in big

EARNED EDITORIALS in big
Ametropolitan newspapers, discuss
ing the inferiority complex of farm;
ers as a class, lead to no good re-
suit.
Perhaps this complex is more
marked as a characteristic on the
part of the farm critics, for city
folks show woeful lack in general
knowledge of country" affairs.
A great many farmers" have be-
come experts and prospered in dairy
ing, stock raising, fruit and truck
gardening, in spite of metropolitan
jibes of hicks and rubes.
The people of Our Country, includ-
ing city journalists and syndicate
writers, better conclude that we are
all Americans, with constantly
changing habits and classes of occu-
pations.
The farmers and country-bred peo-
pie may make up the majority of
medium and smaller-sized cities one
day, while the progressive and enter
prising dwellers and tillers of the
soil are coming more and more from
the cities.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

The country has not for many
years approached presidential elec-
ton where the conclusion seemed to
be so nearly assured in advance.
Many of these elections have been
very close, or at least have seemed
as if they were going to be, up to the
last moment.
This year we have the country in
a state of prosperity due to good
business management at Washing
ton. The people are so well satisfied,
that if President Coolidge were will
ing to run again, he ought to get at
least 80 per cent of the convention
delegates, probably more. The coun-
try likes the work that has been
done and would like to continue the
same management.
The only serious murmurs of dis
satisfaction have arisen in several of
the agricultural states, but much of
that feeling has abated, due to i'm
proved farming conditions. The trou-
bles of the farmers are not due to
defects in the laws, but to such con-
ditions as depression in Europe, lack
of scientific methods in production
and marketing, too high prices paid
for land, ETC., which conditions are
never going to be altered by any
changes in government or the laws
The prospects for the election Of
a Republican are still further en-
hanced by the bitter quarrels that
divide the opposing party. The prob
ability is strong that the Democratic
nominee will be "Al" Smith, who en-
counters bitter opposition among
large elements of the Democratic
party.
The Republicans should easily win
on the basis of the general satisfac-
ton CT the country with the existing
administration, plus the bitter quar-
rels among its opponents. But that is
no excuse for nominating any infer
ior candidate, and the party should
pick its very best man, and take as
much pains for success as if the
election promised to be very close.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
From National Editorial Association
ESPECIAL TO cHRoNIcLE1

Washington, October 12-To those
interested in political by-play and
trends, the most fascinating feature
of a days activities in official
Washington is that period when the
men linger over their coffee cups
for a smoke or two. 1t is not un-
usual or shocking to have the wo-
men join in the smoking for times
and codes of conduct have changed.
II the notables present feel assured
that their auditors will observe
ethics of the occasion and not re-
peat, one can listen to absorbing

SoS

SOMETIMES we wonder if the
~ large volumn of writing and lee
turing on business strategy does not
tend to make business enterprise
seem too complicated. Moderate sue
cess in business is really very sim
pie. The first is to spend less than
you take in. If all bills are paid
promptly, and the owner lives on
what's left, he hardly needs to keep
books. Many fail in business be-
cause they are unable to observe
this simple rule of keeping expendi-
lures within income. The next re-
uuirement is a good product or good
service, or perhaps both. The wants
of customers must be anticipated and
met. Honesty, courtesy, cleanliness,
good workmanship, diligence, and
moderate intelligence will insure
success in independent business just
as surely as they will insure the
permanency of job. Large success
may demand other qualities, such as
unusual organizing and executive
ability, a keen financial sense, and
exceptional courage, but this editor
ial is not to elucidate the story, but
to start the line of thought for those
who are ambitious and have ability
to apply themselves to solving prob
lens. Success is simple after all, for
it is simply observing commonsense
rules and acting with earnest and
honest purpose for service.

Nothing pleases a man with a
well developed sense of humor so
much as setting two chronic bores

ADvERTISING'S NEW START

Authorities on advertising say il
got new start through the war ex-
perience. The amazing success in
floating the great war loans encour-
aged the business world to do far
more advertising. The British gov
ernment tried it out first. 1t appro-
priated 100000 pounds for advertis-
ing it's loans. This sum produced
extraordinary results. The expert
ment was so wonderfully successful,
that it was repeated in our country
with still greater results. Liberty
bonds were sold in quantities that
most bankers would have said was
impossible before that time.
The same amazing results produc-
ed in selling loans in that time of
crisis, can be produced every day in
any business.
Milford chronicle., 1927-10-14

Another common form of COM
munity thoughtlessness and forget
fulness is known as lack Of fore
sight" Cities and towns are build
ing too much for the present with
out thought for the future. Millions
are being spent for roads, public
buildings, sewers schools and water
service which a few years hence
will be obsolete and inadequate.
These mistakes cannot be charged
to incompetency, unless foresight is
a concomitant of competency.
Milford chronicle., 1927-10-14
ENTHUSIASM

Where you find bright and grow
ing business, or an advancing COM
munity, you almost always find some
enthusiastic people. They are san
guine, hopeful, and confident. They
speak in warm terms of their hcme
community. They see its fine achiev-
ements, and its admirable people.
They praise its advantages, and ut
ter no words of detraction.
They are confident and hopeful
about prospects in their own bust
ness. They see everything in bright
colors. While that spirit can be over
done and may be exemplified with
lack of judgment. it is one that pro-
notes support and cooperation. Peo-
pie buy goods of a salesman of that
type. They like to move into a town
that is full of that kind of folks.
Things go ahead faster in that kind
of a town.

HIGH COURT REFUSES TO
ANNUL MARRIAGE OF KIP
RHINELANDER

Albany, N. Y.-Leonard Kip Rhine
iander's marriage to Alice Jones
Rhinelander again was held valid here
March o, when the Court of Appeals
affirmed the decision of lower courts
denying an annuIment. The decision
was given without an accompanying
opinion.
Shortly after the decision was an
nounced, counsel for Mrs. Rhineland-
er announced she probably would be-
gin a suit. 1t was said she would
charge cruelty and abandonment.
Isaac N. Mills, counsel for Rhine
lander, when informed that the court
had refused to annul his clients mar
riage, said that no appeal would be
taken.
Rhinelander, member of a wealthy
and socially prominent New York
family, married Miss Alice Jones, OF
colored parentage, at New Rochelle,
on Oct. IA, 1924.
Today's decision ends the last chap
ter Of efforts Of Rhine1ander to free
himself from Alice Jones, whom he
insists he married in ignorance Of the
fact that she was partly colored.
It is too bad. that Col. Leonard Kip
Rhinelander kept his eyes closed tight
and his ignorant mouth wide open
while he was engaged in counting or
sparkling Miss Alice Jones, who was
the beautiful red apple of his eye.
It was brought out at the trial that
Col. Rhinelander slept at the home of
his intended blushing bride, routing
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones from their bed in
order to make room for him and his
lady. At that time he had a splendid
chance to note that some Of the mem
bers of the family of Miss Jones were
rather dark in their faces, but he was
deeply in love with her and love is

cHIcAGo's HEALTH
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
Of Health
Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.,
Commissioner

Every year 100000 persons are
killed or injured in the United States
Every minute q persons are hurtl
Every FIVE minutes one person is &C
cidentalIy killed!
"As a result, every year 100000
women are left to shift for themselves
and their children, many Of whom are
left in absolute poverty because hus-
bands have failed to provide for their
future by means of insurance or saw
ingsl Records of the Chicago Depart
Of Health show that i'll health of
the husband is followed by needy
vdlwhood and that fatherless chill
dVen and high child mortality 60
a. IA IN hand" says DR.. Herman N.
Bgndesen in his latest bulletin entitled
"If 7 Should Die Tonight"
Think of the effects on the health of
the children for whom no provision
has been made! Poorly fed, under
nourished, inadequately clothed, living
in dark, airless rooms and deprived Of
happiness, clean amusement and edu-
cation, this army of unprotected chill
dren loses its normal childhood and
chances for successful adult life con-
tinues the Commissioner.
Insurance is the one great saving
investment that insures health and
education, home and happiness to your
children. Responsibility does not end
with merely having children. You owe
them the great duty of fitting them
for life and and health. Let your duty
continue through insurance, so that if
you should die tonight your loving
care goes on" states DR.. Bundesen.

A Far Reaching and Burning
Article Which Is Full of Solid
Reading Matter. The Contest
for Mayor of Chicago Is Re-
viewed in a Fair and Reason
able Manner.

By virtue of dividing our votes, the
Democratic party has favored us with
members Of the School Board, Coun-
cilmen in the City Council, members Of
the State Legislature, supported by
Democrats and Republicans a1ik e.
Never in the history of Chicago has
any Republican ever given US a mem
Der of the School Board. We have
false promises by the Republican
party, but no one has been big enough
to carry out the promises, yet the
Democrats saw the wisdom of giving
us such recognition in the State of
New York and that from the very fact
that our people split their votes for
the Democratic party and they kept
their word.
IN the present campaign some OF
our false leaders are arousing race
hatred themselves, yet they are charg-
ing it to the Democratic party. 1t is
said that circular is being sent out
on the north side by the Thompson
crowd as follows: "The white people
should pay no attention to the Demo
cratic proganda about the 'Niggers.'
That Thompson is using the Negroes
only to insure his election. That
Thompson stands for America first.
and his circular is signed tx. K. K"
Yet they come on the south side with
a different story. They take our babies
in their arms and caress them and go
back on the north side and criticise
US. The Democratic party has not done
anything like this. On the other hand,
they have sent out hundreds Of our
women and men into the respective
precincts giving them an opportunity
to make an honest days labor for an
honest days pay. Let us not be fooled.
Let us not be misled by ignorant pas
sion, because it is not destined that
William Hale Thompson will be the
next mayor. The people Of Chicago
are awakened to the false ballabooing
that is now going on. Hon. William
E. Dever is predicted to be elected the
next mayor Of the City Of Chicago and
when he is elected mayor no man will
have to run out of Chicago, or to
leave, as we all we'll know that he
has been mayor of Chicago for four
years and instead Of any of our people
having to leave by virtue Of his stew
ardship tens of thousands have come
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1927-04-02

into our city from the far southland
for freedom and liberty.
Hon. George Z. Brennan in a state
ment to reporter Of The Broad Ak
said that "The colored people were
seriously mistaken when they say that
he is unfriendly to them" That he is
the western representative Of the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company, southern company, and the
only company in this city that will
bond Negroes. And that this COM
pany now carries the indemnity for
both Of our Negro banks, the Douglass
National and the Binga State banks.
That at one time the Republican
Managing Committee came to him for
the purpose of having him turn down
the name Of Edward H. Morris as
candidate for judge Of the Circuit
Court on a coalition ticket. When the
plan was put to him, he stated to them
that he would stand for Mr.. Morris
because he knew Mr.. Morris to be an
able lawyer, but when the Republicans
got his vision of the matter, they told
him that they expected him to refuse
and since he had accepted their pro-
position the Republicans would have to
turn it down, and Mr.. Morris was not
put on the Republican ticket.
During the Thompson administra-
ton they had FIVE lawyers in the Cor
poration Counsel's office; under the
Dever administration they had three
colored women and three colored men
investigators, one assistant librarian
and four lawyers. It is hoped that our
people, before they 60 to the polls
next Tuesday, will take the matter Of
their votes seriously and use it not
by passion, but they will use their best
and not vote for Thompson
because he is Republican-not for
Dever because he is a Democrat-not
for Robertson because he IS an In
dependent Republican, but stand for a
and vote for the best man
man who will not promise YOU the
world and give you nothing. Vote for
the man, not for the party. The latest
betting now favors Dever, and we
should not all be with any loser. II
makes no difference what the politi-
clans whose only hope is for self tell
you don't put all Of our eggs in one
basket. y
From the Man on the Corner
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1927-04-02

Honorable William E. Dever, Mayor
Of. the City Of Chicago, declares that
he never in any way intimated through
any statement whereby it could have
been construed that he was not a
friend of the colored people of Chi
cago during his entire administration
as mayor of our city. On the other
hand, the records will show that I'M
der his administration, that there have
been nine more colored men and
women employed throughout the de-
partments Of the city government
than were ever employed during either
term Of Honorable William Hale
Thompson. Do you know that Mavor
Dever has put every opportunity in
the hands of Louis B. Anderson Of
the End Ward and Robert R. Jack
son OF the 3rd Ward, even to the detri-
ment of many Of our good, law-abidine
citizens?
1t is too bad that the colored people
OF Chicago allow themselves to become
enraged by the false propaganda that
is being spread among our people. ex-
citing them to position that thew
are losing their reasoning during this
campaign. Our people are told that
the Democratic party does not want
our votes. This statement is not true
The Democrats not only want orr
votes, but they have made every
endeavor possible to gain the friend
ship Of the well-thinking, law-abidinp
decent and respectable citizens of our
race.
There is no race of people under
the sun who would attempt to out all
OF their eggs in one basket. For sixtv
odd years Our people have voted for
the Republican party. We say that 4
yellow dog is better than the best
Democrat, but if we would stop to
think and reason for ourselves. we
would soon come to the conclusion
that It IS much better for the black
people Of America to divide their
votes with all parties than to aIIv
themselves to any one party
In the City of New York IN the
Borough Of Harlem where hundreds of
thousands Of our people live, you will
find that we have divided our votes
