Nash Cars Popular
With Colored Folk

The popularity of Nash cars
among our colored friends is still
growing, as evidenced by the de-
liveries of Nash cars during the last
few days by the Green Nash Cor
poration, distributors of Nash cars
and merchandisers Of Used Green
Backed Cars.
Mr.. James Jones of 229 oath Ave
nue. North has just taken delivery
of model 268 Nash sedan, one of
the finest Used Green-Backed cars
sold this year.
While Mr.. John Young. who re-
sides just across Lake Washington
at Kirkland. just took delivery of a
new model 1923 Nash standard six
sedan.
Mr.. Jones has been Nash owner
for eight years, and after looking at
various cars for some time, decided
that he just had to have another
Nash. And Mr.. Young was just as
enthusiastic in his praise of the
Nash car after making his COMPARE
sons. .-.-,s
The Green Nash Corporation is
proud of the good will of its patrons
from the colored population Of this
city, and welcomes the opportunity
of serving them in their transporta-
ton problems at any time.

A Few Questions

To the Editor:
A few weeks ago | read in the
church column of The Enterprise the
following statement: "The Bible is
the greatest book known--we are
certain that Christianity has been Wit
al in preserving civilization" Which
is equivalent TO saying that straight
line is circle.
Now let's see. Are we to believe
that an all-wise, all-powerful, merci-
full and loving God Gle sent His Son
to die for us,) ever threw rocks at
man? Are we to believe that God
was experimenting when He created
man? That il didn't pan out as He
thought, so He drowned them all and
tried His hand again.? Have you
any idea why God drowned the lower
animals, the reptiles and fowls?
How could the fish live in so much
water? Is man any better today than
before the Flood?-. 49,
What! With robbery, murder,
rape, stealing, lynching and burnings
at the stake? Have men quit the art
of war? Isn't that hydraheaded
monster (prejudice) running RAM
pant over all the world? Is that what
you call civilization? Is there a man
(just one) who lives the life of the
Bible? Do you notice King James
or any of the Tevisers of the Bible
taking the medicine prescribed for
you? How did His Majesty, King
James and the other forgers come in
to possession of the greater portion
of the world? What will mankind
do for money? Judas betrayed
Christ Himself for thirty pieces of
silver" would the Judas betray you
for more? How are we as a Race,
spending our money?
Are we investing more in churches
than commercial enterprises?
Are you jim-crowed in King James
church? Will they jim-crow you in
Heaven?

Former Seattleites

Editor of The Enterprise:
Keeping my promise to send YOU
news items, from time to time, | sub
nit these of former Seattleites:
Clyde Coleman, graduate frori
the University of Washington Phar-
macy Department, is employed with
the Economical Drug Laboratory Of
Chicago as a pharmaceutical chemist.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Coleman
is making wonderful Roadway in his
professional line. After accumulat-
ing sufficient amount of capital, he
plans to enter business for himself:
though he is somewhat undecided
Just what section in which to locate.
He speaks very favorably of Seat
tie. the metropolis of the Northwest,
IL he does not come to that section,
he says he will locate in some south
ern city. Mr.. Coleman does not think
that Chicago is a good city in which
to begin. We hope that Mr.. Coleman
will decide to locate in the North
west because we feel that success will
come to him if he settles in field
where he is well known among his
many loyal friends.
Young George Lee, former resi-
dent of Wenatchee and Seattle, star
forward on the Seattle A. NJ. +. bas-
ketball team, is living in Chicago.
This winter he played on the Chica-
20 Y. NJ. c. A. junior championship
team with wonderful success. Young
Lee, though fond of the game, is do
ing greater things than playing bas-
ketball. He has entered the field of
commercial designing with great
degree of success: he has drawn for
some of the leading news papers Of
the city and for Overton Manufac-
turing Company, work has been high
" praised. Lee is now considering a
proposition that will bring renown
and financial remuneration. He has
the talent, therefore. with his deter
mination success is the only thing in
store for him.

student Of the University of Wash

the University of Paris in France. J
have lust received letter from him
in which he states that he is very
pleased as well as impressed by the

IS no prejudice. in fact, the Ameri-

than the American white man. He
further stated that he plans to visit

not return to America. Because il

Refuse to Answer

None Of the aspirsnts for the
presidency of the United States
think the Negro vote of sufficient
importance to reply to a question
naire sent to them by the Associated
Negro Press. The QUESTIONABLE re-
quested the attitude of the respec-
tive candidates on the protection of
lives and property in accordance
with the Federal Constitution, segre-
cation in civil service, interstate
travel and the unequal distribution
of Federal funds for education, the
appointment of Negroes for examin-
alton to the military and naval
academies.

Negroes deserve some of the cred

able segregation practice. They
raised Cain about it. Mr.. Hoover
yielded to their pleas, not because
he loves them but because he needs
votes to become. President of the

WHEELER URGES ER|CKSONS ELECTION
To ADVANCE BEST INTERESTS Of STATE
Senator Declares Governor Is cable, Honest,
Independent" and Praises Splendid
Progressive Record.

Declaring that John E. Erickson is able, honest, independ-
ent and has most emphatically made a splendid record as gov
ernor of Montana United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler
today urged all of his friends to intellectually support the
governors campaign for reelection.
Senator Wheeler praised Governor Ericksons constructive
and economic administration Of state affairs and asserted that
no corporation-controned man possibly could advocate the pro-
gressfve measures sponsored by Governor Erickson in his recent
address before the Democratic convention.
Senator Wheelers statement follows in full:
Governor Erickson faced a difficult task upon his inaugu-
ration as governor of Montana on January l, 1925. The Dixon
administration, in the saddle for four years previous, had in
creased state obligations at the rate of approximately $5OO,OOO
a year. Governor Erickson's job was to hold a tight rein on ex-
penditures of state and at the same time encourage in every
way possible, all legitimate industry, so that the people might
win their way back out of a period of semi-panc and despair,
caused partly by the drastic farm initiation following the war
but also in part by the quarrelsome and extravagant Dixon ad-
rninictration

Montana has prospered.
by labor. Incidentally, it was a part
of the Democratic program in 1920,
defeated when Mr.. Dixon was elected
governor.
Governor Erickson pointed out the
weakness of the child labor law and
the eight-hour law for He
urged strengthening of the eight-hour
law for men engaged on state and
municipal contracts, the establishment
of free state employment offices-in
fact, he pressed forward the claims
Of the State Federation of Labor as
shown by resolutions adopted annually
at their convention for eight years.
Certainly no governor controlled by
the corporation would advocate such
measures.
at is high time that the Repub-
licans come out in the open, meet the
real issues of the campaign, and stop
peddling bunk about the corporations
controlling the governor of Montana.
1t appears to me that the working
men of Montana, the liberal-minded
men and women, will make no mistake
in voting for the reelection of Gov
ernor Erickson and | am wholeheart-
eddy urging all my friends to give him
their support"

was the same Joseph M. Dixon, who
now challenges my seat in the senate.
Governor Erickson was chairman OF
the Democratic state central commit

supported Mr.. Dixon. Governor Erick-
son stood with me four-square and
unafraid. Again in 1922, Governor
Erickson was chairman of the Demo-
cratic party and managed my success
full campaign for the senate.
Having stood at the head of the
state government during the last
three trying years of reconstruction
and having seen Montana return to a
normal condition of prosperity, Gov
ernor Erickson is now ready for con-
structive legislation on behalf of the
workers in Montana. That is demon
strated by his address before the state
convention on September s. In that
address he advocated striking changes
in the state compensation law, short
ening of the waiting period, increasing
the payments made, etc. 1t is an
amendment that long has been urged
