Mr.. Brodhead's letter last week
relative to the presidency of the
Pierce County Republican Clubs, OF
which both Mr. Brodhead and Mr..
'. A. G. Washington claim the honor,
is an example of the inconsistent
way our local leaders act. The Ia
coma Editor takes sides in no per-
sonal affairs, but will give each
equal publicity. 1t appears that Mr..
Brodhead was present and took par>
rs member at the meeting called by
Mr.. Washington at the home of Mrs.
Asberry. Mr. Brodhead claims he Is
nresident. If so, why did he allow
Washington to preside over the meey-
ing? If this meeting was a meeting
of the Pierce County Republican
Club why did Mr.. Brodhead attend?
We are not taking sides. but for the
benefit of the public it should b.
made clear which is the Pierce
County Republican Club, who its
president is and which is recognized
as such by the State Republican
Club.

Washington Teachers
Get IL Years Back Paw

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Liberal-
ism prevailed in the House at an eve
ming session last Friday and two
Democratic members from the South,
Representative Thomas L. Blanton
of Texas, and Ross A. Collins of
Mississippi withdrew their objections
and allowed the lone Colored mem
Der, Representative Oscar DePriest,
of Illinois, and Representative AL
bert R. Hall of Indiana, Republicans,
to obtain unanimous consent for the
passage of bill providing back pay
to 10 directors in the Colored pub
lie schools of the District of CO.
lumbia.
Mr.. DePriest explained that from
1906 to 1924 Colored directors were
paid one salary and the white di-
rectors another. "Under the law"
he said, "they are entitled to equal
salaries. This bill equalizes the sal
aries as they should have been dur
ing that time. Upon the hearings
the District Committee made every
investigation and reported the bill
favorably. | am sure the gentleman
Mr.. Collins) would not keep these
people from their just pay"
Mr.. Hall added that it was never
the intention of Congress when the
bill was passed that there should be
any difference in the salaries paid
to .Colored teachers and to white
teachers doing exactly the same kind
of work, but when the law was
changed it was found that those who
were designated as assistant direct
ors" were the Colored teachers and
those who were designated as "di-
rectors of the schools" were the
white teachers and the basis of the
salary was different.

|SPEAKEASY THAT NOBODY OWNED

Located in Theatrical Dis- trict in New York-Been Raided on Very Many Occasions

New York, June 11-(UP)-A paddock finally is on the door of "The Speakeasy Nobody owns" a favorite resort of the theatrical dis trict mentioned in the Wickersham report as illustrating the difficulty of prohibition enforcement, because 40 raids in the past five years have failed to reveal anyone who would admit a proprietary interest in the place.
 The difficulty in sealing the re- sort hinged on the point that in a paddock proceeding someone who has a financial interest in the prem ises must be served personally with notice of the proceedings. But de- spite their numerous invasions fed eral agents never found anyone. on either side of the bar, to confess ownership. The government, how ever, issued the paddock after pro agent testified the club was known as "Owen Lawlor's place" and that L.awlor, a racetrack book maker, had confessed to him that he was the real owner.
