are the big Catholic counties? The
other fifty-nine counties in the State,
every one of them, have gone against
him every time he has been candi-
date for Governor.
an the States where the Catholics
control the Democratic organization
the AL Smith leaders are having early
Presidential conventions and pri-
maries for the purpose of influencing
other States that will act later in the
Spring. God help the Democrats OF
Alabama to see the Importance of
going to the polls in the primary on
May 9Th, and voting for delegates who
will vote against and work against
the nomination of Al Smith.
The New York Times, quietly met
this statement by quoting from the
official records as follows:
- Governor Smith in 1926 carried
niae counties of the State when ne
was elected Governor. These coun-
ties were Albany, Bronx. Clinton,
a.fSt
Rensselaer, and Richmond.
In 1924 Governor Smith carried six
counties in his election. These were
Albany, Bronx, Kings, New York
Queens and Richmond.
In 1922, when Governor Smith de:
feated Nathan L. Miller, ne carried
IS counties. These were Albany
Bronx, Erie, Hamilton, Kings, Mon
roe, Montgomery, New York, Oneida
Onondaga, Queens, Rensselaer,, Rich
mond, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenec'
tady, Sullivan and Westminster coun-
ties.
In 1918, running against Charles S;
Whitman, Governor Smith carried
nine counties in the State. These
were Bronx, Hamilton, Kings, Lewis,
New York, Queens, Rensselaer,, Rich
mond and Sullivan counties.
This means that New York state is
normally Republican, that the heavy
Tammany Democratic vot. oYercomes
the Republican majority from up
state and gives this New Yorker his
plurality upon the face Of the returns.
Hon. William G. McAdoo is leading
the movement against Alfred E.
Smith, by supporting Senator Walsh,
a Roman Catholic, in order to def at
him at Houston, Texas. The outlook
is not bright for the success OF this
movement. 1t appears that the fight
will be at the polls in November.
Smith may be beaten for President,
but he will surely give any candidat.
named by the Republicans "a run for
his money"

A CLEAN OF HOPE

That veteran journalist, race leader
and statesman, Harry c. Smith Of
Cleveland, Ohio. and that race de-
yotee, William Monroe Trotter of
Boston, Mass, together with their
associates, including Rev. DR.. ". II.
Jernigan of Washington, and othorS
may we'll congratulate themselves
upon the PRONUNCIATION Of the order
by Hon. Herbert Hoover that there
shall be no segregation in the Bureau
of Census at Washington, d. C.
1t has been a long, bitter fight, the
elimination of which is all that one
coald wish. The comment of Hon.
Cole Blease of South Carolina needs
hardly merit attention as what he
says is mostly for political consumr-
ton. Colored people, who know him in
South Carolina say that personally he
is friendly with the Negroes of his
own. State and will do what h can to
aid them. 1t is the other folks Negroes
in other States, especially those of the
North that he is digging after"
This movement at Washington will
have a most beneficial effect through
out the country. Colored folks are
tired of being treated as pariahs.
They can be trusted to keep their own
distances by their own self-respect
and this is enough. Secretary
Hoover and his associates will suf-
fer no embarrassment in according
to the better class of colored people
the rights to which they are justly
entitled under the law. :,

ADMITTED FACTS.

We have received from President
l. K. Williams, of the National Bap-
list Convention, Inc, a copy OF the
Nashville, Tenn, National Baptist
Voice of February IS, 1928, in which
appears an article by Attorney Chas.
NJ. Robertson. under the caption Of
Feelings and Fallacies Versus Facts
in the National Training School Dis
cussion." We have noted carefully
the facts or alleged facts therein set
forth.
It is clear statement of the po-
sition of the National Baptist Con-
vention and its very able president.
We are frank to say that on the
face Of the returns, President Will
liams has proven his case, that if the
letter-head carries the following,
"Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to
the National Baptist Convention, Or
ganized September, 1900, Owns and
Controls the National Training
School for Women and Girls" and
this is true, then the Woman's Con-
vention, if so disposed, should have
the power and Authority to name its
trustees.
But, legally speaking, under the
charter of the National Training
School, it has legally delegated this
pswer to the trustees OF the Ma
tional Training School, and this is q
perpetual right. But what, is worry
ing us is, if the WomsS's Ccpysn-
ton owns and controls the National
Training School for Women and
Girls, where do the Baptist men
come in. even though this female
body is jauxiliary to tSsm?. 90.
If it is women's affair, why clog
the wheels of the National Baptist
Convention with controversy,
which belongs almost exclusively to
one of its subordinate branches?
There must be q "bug under the
chip" somewhere, and what kind Of
e one is it? The National Training
School was organized when the Ma
tional Baptist Convention was an I'M
incorporated body and had no incor-
porated existence. 1t was in a large
measure irresponsible. Itecould not
sue and be sued.
This child has grown into woman
hood with crooked limbs so TO
speak. The time to sstraighten them
out without mortal injury to the in
dividual has passed. In this connec-
ton we might remark that the Ma
tional Baptist Convention has power.
Will it pay to exercise it? One has
said, GAIL things lawful are not ex-
pedient." Grover Cleveland was
made famous by his, declaration, "It
is condition and not theory that
confronts u.s." while Shakespeare in
the Merchant OF Venice" pictured
Shylock as demanding his "peund'of
fesh,"' to which he was entitled IN
der the law. al, III -
Miss Mamie H. Burroughs has
given her reasons for the naming of
trustees. She s,.hasl sscrifeed vital
energies and laid 8 LIES endeavors
upon the sacrifeial altar for this
"child of hers" It's welfare Is the
thing nearest her heart She has
been permitted liberties and given
power, the like, of which will never
be vouchsafed to any ether person
again. >: 1t seems to US that from a
sentimental standpoint, from aicom-
nonsense vantage, it would be best

HUBBARD PARTY BACK FROM TRIP TO TAKU

With the exception of Roderick Chisholm, who remained at the Twin Glacier camp at Taku, the party which accompanied the Rev. B. R. Hubbard down on Thurs day, returned last night with Di H. c. Devighne. :
 As result of the interview with Jack Koby, which was .he purpose of Father Hubbard's trip to Taku. it has been decided for the party to leave here on June ? for the trip to the westward when some time will be spent ex- ploring Kodiak Island, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" and the Alaska Peninsula. The party will be made up of Father Hub bard, MT. Chisholm, Jack Ko5y and Koby's three dogs, the same that made the trip from Menden- hall Glacier to Taku Glacier last summer.
 The trip to Taku was made per feet for MT. Chisholm, whose first trip to Alaska this is, by seeing two brown bears, one on Bishops Point, and the other on an ice field near Taku Glacier, Father Hubbard declared. MT. Chisholm chased both with his gun but did not succeed in getting either. IF was so entranced with tho coun- try and the camp at Twin Glacier camp that he is going to remain there until Tuesday or Wednes- day, returning in ample time to prepare for the trip to the west ward.
 The Twin Glacier lake is frozen solid, according to Father Hub bard, who climbed the mountain behind Dr. De Vighne's camp yes terday, for the purpose Of exer- else and taking pictures. q have never seen the moultains and glaciers in a more majestic mood than they were yesterday" he said.

PITTSBURGH, May 2S-Ward T. Van Orman, who has won the P. W. Litchfield trophy two years in succession at the national elimination balloon race, will at, tempt to gain permanent possess sion of it this year in the race starting from Bettis field, May 30
 Van Orman, victor in 1926 and 1927, was the first pilot to enter the 1928 race, in which 15 bags will participate.
 The winners of the first three places in the Memorial day race will represent the United States m the Gordon Bennett interna- tionel balloon race starting at De- trolt, June 30.
 Winners are decided by distance travelled. In past events entrants have ended up in various sections of the country. Van Orman and his aide, Walter w. Norton. who will accompany him again this year, landed in northern Maine in 1927. They could have continued to a greater distance, but the un- inviting Atlantic ocean interfered. The entrants do not necessarily all travel in one direction, that indicated by ground currents, bal loon experts say, because at=yary- ing attitudes the air currents arc unlike and move toward different points of the compass. It is all a question of maneuvering. into the strongest air currents, z as a balloonist can control only his vertical position.
 Detroit and the Army with three bags each head the list of entries. The Navy will have two balloons in the contest. Pitts burgh, Cleveland and Akron, O., will be among the cities repre- scented.
 The race from Bettis field will be in charge of Lieutenant Frank McKie, commandant at Norton Field, Columbus, Ohio. MeI<ie is an old-time balloon pilot who has taken to heavier-than-air craft. He will be assisted by officials of the National Aeronautical associa- ton, under auspices of which the race will be held.
 Maj. Gen. James A. Fechet, chief of the Army Air corps, and Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy, probably will attend, and Orville Wright of Dayton, chairman of the N. A. A. contest committee, Las been invited.
 The only adverse atmospheric element that might interfere with the takeoff, officials say, is a se- we're electrical storm, and then postponement could be taken. only by a majority vote of pilots en- tered.
 Bettis Field, in suburban Pitts burgh, is an air mail center. Entries include.
 Detroit 3-Pilot, k. c. Hill; aide, A. c. Schlosser. American Business Club of Ak ron-Pilot, Clarence A. Palmer; aide, J. w. Nell.

SPICY MODERN STORY
 SHOWING AT PALACE

Something new in spicy modern pictures is offered at the Palace, where Butterflies in the Rain" is the current feature.
 This picture opened to we'll merlted capacity audience and Miss Laura La Plante and James Kirkwood kept the crowd gripped from fadein to fadeout.
 This couple was well-chosen to bear the histrfonic burden of the picture and Edward Sloman was the ideal man to direct. A good story rounds out the trio of es- sentials for the best picture of the month";
 Miss La Piahte glides through the picture like a beautiful comet throwing an aura of fascinating sheen about herself. The petite blonde, bedimpled star has never appeared more beautiful or shown herself to be a better actress than in Butterflies in the Rain"
 James Kirkwood gives an ad. mirable portrayal of an aristo. cratic Englishman, unaffected by the modern upsetting of conven. tions. He mades the perfect idealist and carried out his part with the perfection of technique that one has come to expect of Kirkwood. 'ss'7 =

"DANClNG MOTHERS" N NOW AT COLISEUM

What is faithful adaptation of a Broadway play opened at the Coliseum last night in Dancing Mothers" adapted by Forrest Halsey from the Selwyn-Goulding stage success.
 Herbert Brenon directed, and he had fine group of players with which to work. Conway Eearle is seen as Jerry Naughton, the man who started all the trouble. Alice Joyce is the wo- man who decided to become one. of the Dancing Mothers" and Clara Bow is seen to advantage. in her first part in a Paramount picture, as the troublesome young daughter. And it is not fair to omit mentioning the splendid work done by Norman Trevor as the father, and Donald Keith as the daughters fiancee. Not to forget characterizations by Doro- thy Cumming and Elsie Lawson.
 It's not fair to tell much of the story. as it would spoil your en- j6yment of the film on seeing it.. Suffice it to say that we are shown a family who are part of the New York fast set: That is, they all are except the mother, who stays at home.
 In this role, Alice Joyce makes one forget anything else she may have done in the past. Waiting at home for a mad-cap daughter, and a wandering husband. she de cides to play a part herself in the whirlpool that threatens to ehgulf thetn all. Then comes a twist which, while perfectly iogi- cal. is one of the queerest things that has been seen in many day. Dancing Mothers" is fine enter tainment for all audiences.
