Federal Judge Up
holda Primary Law

Ell Paso, Texas (ANP) Despite
the fact that the Supreme Court
of the United States has on an
other occasion rendered a decision
declaring h democratic law
which prevents Negroes from vo-
ting in the Democratic primary in
Texas invalid, Judge CA. Boyn-
ton of the United States District
Court Saturday declared that the
Democratic executive committee
had a right to bar Negroes from
participation in the party prima-
ries.
The case grew out of the appli-
cation of Luther Wiley On San
Antonio for an injunction re-
straining the Boxar County DEM
ocratic executive committee from
barring him from participation in
the primaries which will be held
July &c. In his petition, Wiley de-
clared that the barring of Ne
groes was contrary to the consti-
tuition of the United States and
the former decision of the United
States Supreme Court.
Judge Boynton dismissed the
application, ruling that the dis
qualification of Negroes by the
Democrats was not an action of
the state but of private indiv1d-
uals.
Although the state executive
committee has passed resolutions
denying the Negro citizens the
right to vote in the forthcoming
primaries, county committees of
Val Verde and McClennan coun-
ties have voted to comply with
the ruling, Of the United States
Supreme Court and to permit Ne
gro citizens the right to vote
While no announcement was
made by Wiley Immediately after
the decision was handed down
against him, it is believed that he
will appeal the decision before the
State Supreme Court and if nee
essary carry the case to the high
est tribunal.

break the idols existing. There are
two chiefs idols.
Self is destructive idol. Be-
cause of indulgence by parents and
relatives, the possession of necessi-
ties and comforts and because of
prominence of his family in the COM
munity, often a boy forms too high
an estimate of himself. This leads
TO sefshness and indifference to the
welfare of others. Before he can be
his best and his best, he must shat
ter this idol and see his duty to-
ward others.
Pleasure is another formidable
idol. There are boys who place pleas
ure above everything else-that make
it an idol and subordinate every
thing else to it. =
There S a place for pleasure in
every boys life. There is truth in
that old maxim, Gall work and no
play will make Jack dull boy" But
excess of pleasure is destructive.
Worshipping pleasure a boy neglects
duty, wastes time, and often wrecks
health and character.
Idols in the life of boy, are fra
gile things, easily broken. But al

that in days of youth he should shat

is he. early all Negro lodges were
born in the church. Nearly all Ne
gro professionals were educated in
schools supported by the churches.
A large majority of professionals
have profted by introductions in

almost any business enterprise are
members of churches. A boycott by
the Negro churches of any commun-
ity would spell absolute and irrepar-
able ruin.
Under the conditions it is an act
of grossest ingratitude to insult the
church; and if the church should
show disposition to retaliate, it
would be little less than suicide, to
pursue such course. Of course
ministers and churches should be
charitable but it might be we'll, at

fact that the United States govern

Here is letter, sad one, and it
tells the same old story of mans un-
fairness and the danger of woman's
surrender even to what in her heart
is genuine love. Here is the letter:
Dear Make Miller: You are help
ing many and l wonder if you can
help me. l wonder if it is too late
to salvage this wreck" as I heard
preacher say. My case is one of the
many who as l have read, Loved
not wisely, but too well-and you
know the rest.
But, Make Miller, he was just the
incest, dearest, most affectionate boy
that ever lived. Anybody would have
fallen in love with him and under
the spell of his love, any girl would
have believed him and trusted him.
We were engaged and l am sure he
was sincere. We did not get married
because his ncome was too small to
support two. He loved me; petted
me; and made me crazy. It was
not his fault, for l was wiling to
make the surrender believing that
would tie him to me and hold him
until we could be married.
But that is the tie that will not
bind. He was just the same for a
while, then it seemed his love began
to wane, and while I loved him more
and made no effort at restraint, he
seemed to love me less. He seemed
to tire Of our love exercises; his
visits became less frequent; he was
les sardent; we quarreled; and final
ly he went away. I love this boy
and l believes he loves me, but I can
not understand whe he acted that
way. l can't get him off my mind.
1 am sure 1 can never love another,
but if I did I'd be ashamed to ac-
cept love and marriage, after what
has been between me and this boy.
What shall l do? is my question.
Forsaken.
Dear forsaken: You are just one
of the many Of your kind, and I
suppose there will be many more. I'M
til women learn to place honor and
right above that conglomerate thing
which they mistake for love. You
confess you made willing surrender.
1t had been better to get married tho
you were poor as the fictiona Church
did.
Now, if this boy loves you as you
believe, he will rue what he has done,
come back to you and offer to marry
you, and do his best to make you
happy. 1t not, forget him; let your
heart heal; wait for more worthy
love and then profit by this expert
ence.
AS to being ashamed to accept love
and marriage the chances are that
any man who would love you and
marry you would have had "affairs"
and despite your mistake you'd be as
fit for him as he would be for you.
"Let bygones be bygones;" look to-
ward the future; there is happiness
for you; take it; use it; enjoy it.
Look up! Make Miller.
