Dental campaigning by the hand

day entered the midwest corn belt to
open his drive for the White House

speech tonight in Omaha on farm re-

The address set for Q o'clock cen

will be the first formal political
speech the democratic presidential
nominee has delivered since his no
tifiction nearly a month ago az Al
bany. IN it he announced he would
treat the agricultural question more
exhaustively than he did in his
speech of acceptance and probably
amplify his position on the surplus
crop problem.
After a noisy celebration in his
honor in the trainyards of West Side
Chicago last night, where several
party leaders took the opportunity
TO report bright prospects for him
in Illinois and Wisconsin in Novem-
Der, Governor Smith listened in on

put the finishing touches on a rough
outline of his farm speech, and re-
tired. The remainder Of the journey

nois and the heart Of Iowa, Herbert

WAS 1T ANTI-NEGRO?

We cannot agree with Chicago colOred Republl-
cans, who profess to see an antinegro sentiment in
Hoovers speech at EliZabethton Tennessee Saturday
Mr.. Hoover's remark that civil service appoint
ments must be filled by those who reserve the conf
dence and respect of the communities they serve, is
the basis for the declaration that the speech is anti
negro.
A Chicago coored political leader-Earl B. Dick
erson-construes this as meaning that the negro is to
be barred from political appointments in the South
In other words Mr.. Dickerson is willing to believe
that the shoe fits the man. He assumes Immediately
that the negro is meant. Why not the white man
Does Mr. Dickerson assume that only negro cannot
deserve the confidence and respect of the community he
serves? If he does he is not very loyal to his
colored citizen, whatever his position, whether
he holds political office not obtain and hold
the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens white
as we'll colored. Frankness compels to state
that because of racial antipahy he may have diff
cult time doing it. but there thousands of negroes
in all parts of the country who held in the highest
respect in their communities
We have them here in Ell Centro-colored men and
women who hard workers in seeking to help those

residents respect them and have full confidence in
them. There are others toward whom this feeling IS
not given. Also there are many whites who do not

man is given or is not given the respect and con-
fdence of his neighbors in accordance with his own
line of conduct. If he is worthy he will be given the
recognition to which he is entitled If he is unworthy
he cannot obtain it at any price The matter of color
is minor consideration among fairminded and inte
gent persons.
We do not believe that the attitude taken by the
Chicago man will find much response among cOlored
voters. 1t savors too much of splitting hairs. Of

PLAY 1T SAFE

Five deaths in two days from automobile accidents
on Imperial county highways, is high figure indeed.
From all accounts of the accidents, there is no
criminal blame attached to anyone connected with
them That there may have been careessness is quite
apparent.
The majority Of us who drive are inclined to
take chance rather than play safe. We not only for
get the other fellow safety, something which common
courtesy should prompt to consider, but also for
get our safety, thereby violating fundamental
law of nature-self- f-preservation
Few of so important that minute or two
of our time is valuable enough to warrant riskng our
necks or the necks Of others, yet do it. Unless
is absolutely matter of life and death speed beyond
the legal limit is utterly foolish
Automobiles made mechanically per-
feet as possible, yet there is great chance for
chanical defect which is quite likely to result in death
if it occurs while travelling at high rate of speed.
There is little danger of fatality matter what
kind of accident may occur if car is travelling at
normal or safe speed.
A car travelling 35 or 40 miles an hour may skid
little in travelling patch of grease on the road
and be rghted without overturning. One travelling
so miles may strike the spot and be overturned
before the driver has chance to attempt to right
it.
No hard and fast rule be set down relative to
accidents but is safe to say that the vast Orty OF
of them caused by excessive and unnecessary speed
