Mace Has Long Been
Symbol of Authority

An interesting bit of ceremony takes
place each day he house of rep
reSentativeS cOnTeneS A distin-
guished-looking individual enters the
chamber and walks slowly to the
front bearing aloft the mace, which
the house maintains as its symbol OF
power. At the speakers stand he
turns to the right and fastens the
staff on that side of the platform. 1t
is an official announcement that the
house of representatives is now in ses-
sion and vested with the power to
transact legislative business.
The mace resembles a fagpole
capped by a cleaning metal eagle.
Its keepers sole duty is to appear
twice on the floor of the house on
days when it is in session. bringing
the mace in when the body convenes.
and when 1t adjourns. carrying it
back to the office of the sergeant-at-
arms with the same deliberate step
The only time during a day of bust
ness when the mace s removed be-
fore adjournment is when the house
goes into committee of the whole to
consider some piece of specific legis-
lation When it is officially in legis-
iafive session again the mace is re-
turned.

PapaI Claim Still Stands

In 1871 the Italian government alb
sorbed as part of the territory of Italy
much of the property over which the
pope of Rome had exercised and
claimed Jurisdiction and possession
The Italian government placed TO the
credit of the Vatican sum OF money
and certain guarantees which have
not been accepted by the Roman au
thorities. It is said that the italian
government is anxious to adjust the
matter, but so far the papal claim
has not been diminished, which is
temporal power or Jurisdiction over
the disputed territory.

FEATURE IN 3 NEW YORK
SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS

New York, n. Y.-Three leading
daily newspapers of New York City,
the New York Times, the Herald
Tribune and the World, featured the
Negro in their literary and dramatic
columns of Sunday, March II, ac-
cording to compilation made by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Coiored People which
shows the following items:
New York Times: Illustration in
the dramatic section showing Messrs.
Miller and Lyles, librettista and COM
edians of Keep Shufflin'," and other
members of the cast.
Extended review in the literary
section of Home to Harlem" a new
novel by the colored poet and writer,
Claude Mckay, just published by
Harper & Brothers, New York.
New York Herald Tribune: Two
reviews in the literary section writ
ten by colored writers. One of the
reviews is by Eric Walrond, author of
"Tropic Death" and comments on
Rainbow Round Ny Shoulder" a
book written about Negro wanderer
by Howard w. Odum, a Southern
white man. The other review by a
colored writer in the Herald Tribune
literary section, is written by Gwen
dolyn B. Bennett, of the staff of "Op-
portunity," who also reviews Claude
McKay's Home to Harlem" calling
it "blue-bIack symphony"
New York World: In the literary
section of the New York World ap-
peared the third review of McKay's
book, written by Able Niles, who
compares it with Odum's Rainbow
Round My Shoulder"
In the dramatic section of the
World is a large portrait head of
Paul Robson, who has just joined the
cast of "Porgy." And in the color
gravure section is a picture showing

entitled ''Noted Southern Writer Dis
covers Real Harlem" written by T..
S. Stribling, author of "Black and

and co-author of the play Rope, I"
based on his novel.
In citing the various illustrations
and articles printed in the leading
daily newspapers of New York City
and of the north; the N. A. A. c. P.
pointed to the fact, that in all of them
the Negro, whether as actor, writer,
or reviewer, was being treated on
exactly the same basis as his white
equals.

Ministerial Alliance Arguments Legion
Membership

The beneficient effect of the city
wide publicity given to the Legion
membership drive by members of the
Ministerial Alliance, from their re-
spective pulpits, has already resulted
in steady influx of applicants at
Legion headquarters.
Roosevelt Post No. 80 is indeed
fortunate in having for it's chaplain
the Rev. Charles H. Trusty, whose
valuable suggestion was responsible
for our enlistment of the services and
cooperation of the Alliance.
The Alliance shares equally with
the Legion the distinction of being a
powerful and influential factor in the
civic life of this city and certainly
deserves the hearty cooperation and
support of all kindred organizations.
These broad visioned racial enthusi-
asts function on basis of unselfish-
ness, having for their objective ''the
common good of ALL" The remark
ably efficient manner in which the
Alliance "opened new avenues of en-
ployment" for our group, is worthy
Of the highest commentator.
Day by day, "the principles of Lee
gionism" are becoming more deeply
imbedded in the minds and hearts of
the intelligent American public. The
reason of this unparalleled popularity
is that I'm PEACE, AS IN WAR
WE SERVE"

FARMER RECEIVES LOW
SHARE OF BREAD PRICE

Washington-(FP)-In its long de-
layed report on the bread and flour
industries in the United States-forc-
ed by the LaFOllette- Norris fight
against the bread trust-the federal
trade commission has admitted that
the Ward, Continental and General
baking corporations control "close to
loo baking establishments with an es-
timated total bread output of almost
2O%o of the total commercial bread
production of the United States.
Fifty-seven companies, the report
shows, operate 278 bakery plants that
produce 800 of the commercial bread
output. Besides the Ward Continent
al-General combine there is a fourth
big concern which has more than 80
plants. The commission finds that
the tendency toward consolidation of
the industry cannot be ignored, even
though the recent attempt at bread
trust was abandoned when prosecu-
ton was proposed.
Profits of wholesale bakers were
comparatively high in the six years,
192O-1925. Even on the basis of the
companies own claims of investment
it was 1890 on total investment
Figures made public by progressive
senators two years ago placed the
profits of the Ward Continental Gen
eral baking promoters as measured
in market value of their holdings, al
1,1O0%o in Is years, due largely to
mergers and price-boosting
American consumers, says the re.
port, paw an average of 8.55c for g
pound loaf of bread. Of this sum, II
the past three years, the farmer ha.
received 1.15c, the miller 0.41c, tn,
baker 5.11c, the grocer 1.28c and tn,
railroads and other handlers O.60c.
Since the federal trade commission
is now stacked in favor of big bust
ness, this report is to be taken as tn,
