Race Question Debated
AT M. E. Conference


KANSAS CITY.-The attitude of
the great M. f. Church to the 18th
and 18th Amendment came to the
surface Mt the M. +. General Con-
ference here last week.
Following the conference report
on prohibition and the enforcement
of the 18th Amendment, DR.. Ernest
Lyon of Baltimore, and F. H. Butler
of Delaware, wanted to know why
not put in a good word for the en-
forcement of the two amendments
which are supposed to give full fran
chise rights to the Negro.
This proved "Banquo Ghost" to
the Conference, and although the
chairman ruled the consideration of
the 14th and 18th Amendments out
of order during the consideration of
the prohibition question, its propo-
nents are determined that it shall
have full hearing before the ses-
sion closes.
Another marked development at
the conference is the fact that race
delegates are not enthusiastic about
the proposed union Of Southern and
Northern Methodists. Leaders say
they ere skeptical that what has hap-
pened in the state may happen in
the church.
What the conference will do is not
easy to foretell, but it will be con-
fronted by a genuine dilemma. Eth
er It must speak so strongly against
the denial in the South of the fran.
chise to competent Negro citizens,
end so disturb the feelings of the
Southern Methodist church, or il
must speak equivocally and mildly
and so wound the sensitive sensibili.
ties of its 100000 members.

White Women Say
ColOred Girls
Lure Their Hubbies

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Claimlns
that nudity of entertainers In up
town night resorts is robbing them
of the attention of their sons ana
husbands, white women were up IN
protest here, Saturday, carrying lueir
fight to the district attorneys oftlce.
Prominent white women visited
the managers of some Broadway
Theaters paying them their compll-
ments for having discarded shows IN
their houses because of the undue
absence of their husbands and sons
usual affections. ...
Another delegation of white wo-
men were waiting to have tax
with the district attorney regarding
the nudity of girls in Harlem cab
arets, where they said they nave
learned their husbands and sons are
spending unreasonable hours.
The manager of the Gaiety Thea
tre, took it as a matter of course,
until Mrs. Jannett Workman and her
daughter, of SIS West End avenue,
who happened to be present at the
time to renew their subscriptions,
overheard the protests and took a
lively part.
She first addressed the manager,
seizing her daughter by the arm,
and saying to the crowd of other
women inside, "You do not know
what these rascals have done. They
must have shown our husbands and
sons the new roads uptown in Har-
lem to the cabarets where the wo-
men are still appearing in their
shows after they were chased out OF
Broadway.
"There she is. Dorothy, who hasn

Senator Blease
Runs Wild Again;
Raps Howard Prexy

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 29.--
Senator Coleman l.. Blease, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, went on an
other rampage in the Senate Monday
attacking DR.. Mordecai w. Johnson,
president of Howard University and
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, can
didate for the Republican nomina-
tion for President.
The South Carolinian was riled
because of an address delivered by
DR.. Johnson at the centennial con-
ference of the American Peace So
ciety in Cleveland on May 10.
In his address, DR.. Johnson indict-
ed white civilization. He declared
that his race faced the alternative
of following Soviet Russia If the
white man did not deal justly with
the Negro.
Blease cited the example of Aus
tralia, which deported a troupe OF
colored vaudeville performers. He
claimed that they were returned to
the United States because some OF
the men had danced with white girls
in Melbourne.
He charged that Secretary Hooy-
er wants to make white girls asso-
ciate with Negroes on equal terms.
He declared that Hoover would be
the easiest man for the Democrats
to defeat in the November election,
"But l do not want the Republican
party he said. "to disgrace itself
and disgrace the country by nomi-
mating any such man, whether We
can beat him easily or not"
Blease directed the attention OF
the Senate to the bill on the calendar
to authorize annual appropriations
for Howard University. Congress has
been making these annual appropria'
tions although every Senator knows
that they are unconstitutional. he
said. II has no right. he stated, to
take the taxpayers money and give
1t to Howard University.
Here is the president of this col
lege that you are supporting" Bleast
said. paying big salary 10 hin
out of the taxpayers money, and he
is following up that tHoover) order
He is following the example sent hin
by his boss, going around over tn,
country preaching that kind of doc
! trine. All

we mean IN the South, and | know
how we are going to regulate II

I know what will happen.
IF that Negro ever comes int
South Carolina and makes speecl
like that. he will come out---oh, yes
he will come out, and he will neve
bother us any more after he get
out.

Nightmare

nolia skinned Southern bellies.
Nightmare
Intermarriage is a nightmare to
white America. Does it not seem
Just possible that they need to coin
another word? just so long as there
are white men in this country there
will be intermarriage. For the past
200 years they have developed pc
culiar hankering after Negro women.
During the same period white women
secretly cherished a yearning for
Negro men. Intermarriage isn't de-
termined by court or clergy. Since
the whites are in the majority. they
will continue to exploit us. They
howl against intermarriage not be-
cause they are afraid we will want
TO marry them but rather because
then they will be forced to offer hon
est and honorable motives for seek
ing out black women. Then their
women can no longer hide behind
that old rape story to cover up il
licit love affairs with black men.
Suffice it is to say, that hope my
granddaughters will all have hus-
bands before intermarriage becomes
a national institution. Poor things,
think how they'd have to struggle to
get husband with not only all the
colored women after the man she
wanted but the white women giving
chase likewise!
In conclusion, may suggest to
Mr.. Blease, that strong dose of
carbolic would work wonders in re-
moving him from all contact with
black folks. Down below the heat
turns everything and everybody
black so he couldn't tell the black
imps from the white ones.

after the merger a shortage of $780,

bogus checks, false entries on ledg-
ers and bogus collateral had been
used to cover up the shortage.
