LAUNCH DRIVE TO SAVE
CHURCH 100 YEARS OLD

New Orleans, La.-(By the A. N.
Placed with a financial obliga-
ton amounting to $4,000 which falls
due on December 9, extensive efforts
are being made by the congregation
of the First African Baptist church,
one of the oldest colored congrega-
tions in the country, to raise the
amount in a financial drive to be
launched on November / and to con-
tinue for one week. "Old Baptist, I"
as the church is also known, is
one of the landmarks in the re-
ligious life of the population of New
Orleans and Louisiana. 1t is more
than 100 years old and is said to be
the mother church of all Baptist
churches in the state.

The people of Omaha did a
wise thing in voting for the
street railway franchise and
for new county hospital. The
street car company can nov go
ahead planning for efficient
and satisfactory transportation
service which we believe it is
DESTROYS to give to meet the de-
mands of our growing city.
The county hospital can be

"VOX POPULI, VOX DEF
(The Voice of the People Is the Voice

And That's That
By C. II. w. Bullock

Gus party will not begrudge. Nor
will they say to them nay.
The net results of this election are
that Hoover and Curtis carried all
the states in the Union except eight
all the electoral votes in the college
except SO; gained over dozen seats
in the house and six seats in the SEN
ate. In a word, the new president
will have working majority Of his
own faith in both houses of congress.
The most significant feature about it
the one that brings most pride to
the candidates. that Mr.. Hoover
not only carried his own home state
but also the home state of his OPP
ponent. This is no mean feat in this
election owing to the fact that Mr..
Smith was born and reared and spent
all of his private and official life in
that state, that he had been elected
four times as governor of that state
and is now chief executive of that
state.
There were, however, some very
unfortunate aspects to this campaign
which will be construed as settled by
the results. The religious issue was
most unfortunately made the goat of
combat. This fact will leave bitter
ness between Roman Catholics and
Protestants that will not soon go
away. 1t will be the first step in the
direction of religious or denomina-
tional war which may result in the

anty that their good work is not &C
cidental.
Besides Dorothy Vests story, "An
Unimportant Man." and Eugene Cor
don's two stories, "Coldblooded" and
"Alien," the "Black Madness" of Ger
trude Schalk was also selected by Mr..
O'Brien.
The fact that these writer's are

ties) is also a good augury.

The roar of the campaign cannon
has died away. The battlecry of the
propaganda has ceased. The politi-
cal warriors have stacked their arms
and broken camp. The smoke and
smell of the most furious battle ever
waged in this nation have cleared
away and we now look over the field
to pay homage to our successful
heroes and eulogy to our dead Upon
the sepulcher of cur unfortunate bel
ligerents we place this epitaph: 'You
fought good fight; you have kept
the faith" But the voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of God.
Now we return to normally in
mind and vocation. AS we weigh our
victories and lament our defeats, we
take surcease in the inevitable dictum
of the people who have spoken out
loudly and in a language that admits
of no doubt or argument. We accept
their decision as final
At this writing it is absolutely sure
that Herbert Hoover and the republi-
can ticket, both national and state,
have carried by volume and decis-
iveness unequalled by any American
president. He has broken down more
precedents and tradiaions than any
other presidential candidate in the
r.
Like a great and capricious hurri-
cane, this political storm started in
the northeasternmost tip of the At
lantic seaboard and travelled at ter
rifle speed down the Atlantic coast,
skipping Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets, and spreading four ways, it
swept on in it's fury, leaving only the
six deep Southern states of South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louis
ianf., Alabama and Arkansas without
complete wreck and these only after
damaging them so that hasty repairs
will have to be made to save them.
Many surprises were furnished by
these results to the most optimistic
and pessimistic partisan. For in
stance, the most optimistic republican
did not confidently expect New York,
Texas, Florida, Virginia and North
Carolina going to the Hoover col
umn any more than the most extra
VACANT democrat expected Rhode
Island and Massachusetts going to the
Smith column. Few Of either expect
ed New York going other than to it's
native son. In word, nobody con-
fidently entertained the idea that
40 of the 48 states would go to the
republican cause in the face of the
popularity of the democratic candi-
date. But the electorate thought diff
ferently. They acted differently.
And we must accept their decision as
final. "The voice of the people is
the voice of Cod"
The inevitable aftermath win be
forthcoming in the form of various
excuses and explanations as to why
this or that thing happened, but with
no avail to change the result. One
thing was absolutely assured: That
the nations satisfaction with the
Coolidge administration and their
confidence in the ability of Herbert
Hoover to continue those policies
were Endorsed beyond a shadow of
doubt.
Whatever consolation the advo-
Gates of the wet cause, or the dry

displacement of the present farm
bloc, industrial bloc, western, eastern
and southern blocs by Roman Cath
Ole and Pretstant blocs. This would
be most unfortunate.
In this campaign some very strange
aEgnments were made. The Jew and
Roman Catholic were joined in one
cause to elect Smith. The Roman
Catholics endeavored to establish for
ever the idea that a Roman Catholic
is just as fit to be the chief executive
of this nation as a Protestant. They
were put on the defensive as a church
and they fought valiantly and united
ly to break this prejudice down. The
Protesants, on the other hand, saw
that it was a showdown for them and
they unitedly fought to hold their
own. The Jew had no particular in
terest in either of these controversies,
but feared that if it were established
that a Roman Catholic could not be
president a Jew could not. He, too,
Joined in with the Roman Catholic to
establish that if a Roman Catholic
can be president, Jew can also. For
this reason alone both Roman Cath
Ole and Jew feel rather downcast at
what they construe a disastrous de-
feat to their cause. This is unfortu-
nate for the added reason that the
Protestant world feels kind of false
chestiness because they interpret the
result as an establishment of their
lief in their cause. This is false. This
is not why the victory was won. This
election was won on the strength of
the soundness of the economic policy
embodied in the republican platform
and the superiority of the republican
candidates experience and prepare
ton to administer the affairs of the
nation. They merely put their o. K.
on the way the republican party
promises to deal with the farm re-
lief, the tariff, and business of the
nation.
In the state election, we have some
very interesting aspects. The repub-
lican state ticket was almost to a man
elected. The state went to Hoover by
almost as large a majority as its
previous average of what its last vote
has been. This was surprising. We
account for this result by the defec-
ton of Norris. We confidently be-
lieve that the course of Norris did
more than any other one thing to
cement the regular republican forces
together in a common, united deter
mination to demonstrate that it could
get along very well not only without
Mr.. Norris help, but despite his I'M
timely opposition. We now return
to him our grateful thanks.
Most of the other candidates elect
ed were our choice. We should have
been very glad to have had "Dick"
Metcalfe sent to the senate instead
of Howell. Our choice for supreme
judge was Frank Howell. Our choice
for state representative from the
Tenth was Barnett, and we should
have been very glad to have returned
him there. But the voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of God, and we bow
to their will. 1t seems assured from
the returns that DIR. Mcmillan is
elected to the state legislature from
the Ninth. He was not our choice.
