VIE FOR NEGRO
VOTE IN VA.

The coalition of anti-Smith Demo.
Gratis and the Republican party for
the prosecution of the gubernatorial
campaign in Virginia this year will
afford Negroes an opportunity to be-
come and remain a political factor
in the State, it is believed.
The alliance constitutes the most
serious threat against Democratic
control of the Stats machinery of
Virginia since the campaign OF 1882.
and it is expected that both the coali.
tion and the Democratic party will
seek the negro vote covertly II not
openly.
1t is said that the administration
of Gov. Henry F. Byrd has been
popular with the negroes of the
State and that many of them will
support the Democratic ticket in the
election. The number of negro vot.
ers in the State is comparatively
low. 1t is estimated that about 10, 900
are qualified to vote. There are ap-
proximately $4,000 negroes of vot.
ing age in the State.

WRIGHT ENGINE
At MUSEUM

The last accession Of the fiscal
year ended June 80, by the divi-
sions Of mineral and mechanical
technology Of the Smithsonian In
stitution, was a Wright "Whirl.
wind" airplans engine, taken from
the Army's tri-motored Fckker
plane Question Mark. which at one
time held the world record for sus-
tained flight. The engine is being
exhibited in the Aircraft Building.
The engine given to the institu'
tion was the center engine. which,
with its mates, stayed aloft for $50
hours, 40 minutes and is seconds,
taking the air on New Year Day
and landing on the afternoon Of
January 7. Five men were carried
throughout the flight and the plane
was refueIed and received supplies
from another plane while both were
in flight.
Worn rocker arms on the engine
caused the diaconeinuance of the
flight, for when 1t was ended the
left engine had quit, the right en-
gine was streaming oil and the CEN
ter engine had slowed down to
1900 revolutions n minute.
During the time the plane was
aloft 21 tons of supplies were taken
aboard in So contacts with supply
ships. The engines burned up
$500 gallons Of gasoline and the
plane flew about 1880 miles, al
most halfway around the world.

NEW YORK, July Q.N.s).--

attack on big business" at the In
dependence Day celebration and
dedication Of the new Tamniany Hall
Building in Union Square.
Hailed al ''the next President of
the United States" the States
chief executive reviewed the strug-
gle between popular government
and special privilege. This strug-
gle, he asserted, was just as real
today as IL ever was.
The governor explained that ag-
gregations of capital such as the
recent Morgan power merger pre-
sented dangers to the liberties of
the people, Without wishing to
prejudice the interests of aRy legiti-
mate economic group, he said, it
was his intention to protect the
peoples rights and, above all, to
fight for the separation of business
and government,
The governors warnings were
supported by former Governor Al
Smith and Mayor James ]. Walker.
Smith devoted his remarks to
what he termed encroachment on
personal liberties by the prohibition
law and the general tendencies to
Regulation and RECOMMENDATION OF the
masses. He warned that it would
soon be against the law to smoke
on the street.
An added feature Of the Tammany
celebration was a eulogy Of the

His name is George d, Strayer,

attained the position OF chief statis-
tician for the public schools OF the
District of Columbia.
An import from New York city,
strayer is q graduate Of Princeton
University. DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent Of schools here, en-
countered the youthful mathe.
matician when he recently secured
the country in search Of new school
officials.
Took Teachers Course
At that time, strayer had, been
assistant to the superintendent Of
schools at Great Neck. L. l., for a
year. Before that, he had taken
a course at the Teachers College,
Columbia University, where his
father is q professor.
Contrary to the popular idea,
statisticians, i. e., Strayer, are
interested not only in addition and
subtraction and multiplication and
division. Strayer was on the junior
varsity crew at Princeton. While
rowing is his favorite outdoor sport
he likes tennis, too, and when he
stops being mathematical for the
day, he goes to his home at 1924
Newton st. N. W., and reads.
Strayer looms large on the school
horizon at present. He will head
the new statistics department, with
two or three. assistants. Besides.
he Is fully six feet tall.

school official in the city. and one
of the youngest in the country.

SOVIET RUSSIA IN THE NEWS

With the rapid development of Socialist econo-
my in Russia and the consequent growth of pros
perity among the masses of that country, the Am
erican press is giving more and more space to
news about the Soviet Union.
The great feat of the Soviet filters who flew
from Moscow to New York has attracted wide

hired propagandists is dying fast and the convic-
ton is rapidly growing among the people of this
country that the sooner the Hoover administration
enters into regular diplomatic relations with the
Workers and Farmers government, the better for
all concerned.
Professor NJ L. Wilson, agricultural economist
of Montana state college, who has just returned
from visit to Russia, declares that the Soviet
Union is making great progress in large scale
farming but will not become a competitor of the
United States in the world wheat market but will
in few years import tremendous quantities of
American tractors and farming machinery The

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1929
COLLINS VIEWS WITH ALARM

1t is reported that Mr.. Oscar Collins, our ener-
getic Chief of Police views with alarm the low
state into which law enforcement has fallen In
Sheridan County. Mr. Collins, who won't to
point with pride to the way he and his pal Cor
poral Winters of the border patrol kept the little
Plentywood piggers in their places, deplores
the impunity with which an atrocious murder can
be committed in around the city.
Collins has been going the rounds recently tell
ing anybody willing to listen that the inactivity of
the sheriff's office in the apprehension of the
suspected of numbering Raymond Logan is get
ting on his Hoosier nerves. Jack Smith, alias An
derson, the murder-suspect, some of whose gar
ments are in the hands of the sheriff, is said to
have been seen wandering aimlessly around Medi-
cine Lake several days after the murder was COM
mitted People say that he stayed for few days
in coal mine near Joe Dolin's stronghold and that
the mine owners routed him from his quarters
only with difficulty. When he left the mine he is
alleged to have taken the road to Brockton with
his rifle on his shoulder.
Perhaps Jack Smith, alias Anderson, is no more
guilty of the murder of Raymond Logan than
Hans Madsen himself. Under the law is
supposed to be innocent of crime until he is prov
en- guilty But since the sheriff has cast suspicion
on Smith it appears to be his duty to arrest him
and subject him to examination Of course the
sheriff may be of the opinion that Raymond Logan
was scapegrace and therefore that the county is
well rid of him. But nobody, even those who are
suspected of having less respect for the law than
Mr. Madsen manifested before his election to of
flee, will agree that this is the proper official at
titude to take. A man who would kill fellow
man in cold blood is a menace to society and
should not be at large. A who would murder
a Raymond Logan would not hesitate to STAY
more useful and respected member Of society.
Burley Bowler says that Frank French and
Grant Blackwell have ordered the sheriff to stay
away from Medicine Lake, lest he might be at
tempted 10 interfere with the alleged slot machine
racket of Joe Doln. But surely French and Bake
well could have no Interior motive in obstructing
the sheriff in the pursuit of suspected murderer,
even tho the criminal picked Joe's bailiwck for
temporary hiding place. Surely Joe would not
feel any too comfortable in the thot that the man
who is suspected of killing Raymond Logan might
take it into his head to hold him up for some of
the proceeds from the county printing and his al
legged slot machine racket
We believe that Burley Bowler's paper and the
local whistle" will join US in urging the sheriff
to get busy on the Logan murder mystery. It may
be ga job for Burns detective" as the sheriff is
alleged to have observed, but in justice to Mr..
Madsen we are of the opinion that the mental fac
ulties of our sheriff are at least on par with
those of the average Burns stoolpigeon-

THE STOCK MARKET CRASH

The stock market crash, in which so billion dol
lars of paper values estimated as wiped out at
the markets lowest ebb, is the biggest labor news
of the week in the east. Efforts of spokesman for
Hoover and Mellon to depreciate the seriousness of
the shock with assertions that only 10 of the
public is affected and that business will continue
as usual, are ridiculed by so conservative COM
mentator as Editor Parker Willis of the New York
Journal of Commerce.
