TEAMMATES

For some time past the Honorable J. Thomas
Hefln, senior senator from Alabama has been recog-
nzed by the press of the United States as the champion
political ass of the country. Intelligent men would
doubt that the generation could produce another
like him, yet has been DONE and this time also in the
South.
We refer to none other than the Honorable Theo-
dore c. Bilbo governor of Mississippi By his rldcu-
Gus statement made last week, in which he declared
Herbert Hoover while working the Mississippi flood
disaster last year, had danced with negro woman,
the distinguished governor stamped himself as
worthy team-mate of the "Bellowing Behemoth from
Alabama.
He made his statement in asinne attempt to
help the political fortunes of Governor Smith, and in
iure those of Mr.. Hoover. We hate to think that he
accomplished either To have done so would be to
cast serious reflection upon the mentality of the en-
tire people of this country We do not beieVe that
Governor Smith or Mr. Raskob, the most radical
Democrat in the country would want to have his cause
aided by such contemplate e to describe 1t mildly
We do not think the most lukewarm Republican would
give it the slightest credence Mr. Raskob has been asked
give it the slightest credence Mr.. Raskob has been
asked to repudiate it and we believe he will
We will go step further and say that we do not
consider Governor Bilbo is SO dumb as to believe it,
but do think he is jackass for making the state
ment
The greatest negro leaders in the country recog-
nze the truth that the white and negro races do not
mix socially to the extent Of dancing together there
fore there is no reflection upon the coored in
holding Governor Bilbos statement in contempt. As
matter of fact he surred the negro when he de-
clared with reference to Mary Booze she IS as black
as the of spades Perhaps she is, and yet she
may possessed of heart whittier than the governors
Irwin Cobb would dance with member of the negro
race yet none ever paid it a more beautiful tribute
than he when he dedicated one of his books "To my
old colored NANNY, whose heart white as her
skin black" Mr. Cobb is southern gentleman,
towering above the insignificant governor of Misss
sippi as the Woolworth building towers above switch
mans shanty.
We only regret that Mr.. HoOver's office fit to
give the statement the dignity of denial. denial
of statement is made only when there may be some
reason to think that the statement bears sembance
of the truth. There not the slightest shade Of
truth in the Mississippi governors statement.
Governor Bilbo has been given the highest honor
by the people of his state In return he has dragged
the dignity and honor of his state in the dust He
not be politically dead, but future statement he can
make deserves any consideration that the blatant
beowings of his fellow jackass from Alabama. They
make an excellent team to plod along the dull, drab
road to oblivion

No one calls him "John D. down

Rockefeller has not missed a
church service on Sunday morning
in the last five years on his visits
here. On only one Sunday was he
absent from the little union church
across the river from his home.
Then the pastor-Dr. Richmond,
now succeeded by Rev. Guy Stan

preach and Rockefeller went along
too.
People generally agree that
"John D" has seemed to grow H.
older during the last u years.

"He's even younger this year,

professional. "He's never been so
well since I've seen him. His golf
