i. S. BOND ISSUES
MAINTAIN ADVANCE
Other Parts of List React
Following Recent
Gains.
BY F. III. RICHARDSON.

NEW YORK, March 11.-While the
general bond list reacted today, follow
ing the maintenance of the New York
Federal Reserve rediscount rate when a
cut had been expected, United States
Government bonds continued their i'm
provement. Trading was slower than
on Thursday.
The market had a steady tone at
the opening and for while junior
securities advanced along with Govern
ket and prices trended lower A cut
in bill rates, which was interpreted to
preclude a lower rediscount rate next
week, was followed by fresh buying of
Governments and prime corporation
bonds, but the profit-taking in second
and third grade securities continued.
It was the first reaction the market
has had in over three weeks, however,
and it was regarded as temporary
phase. Consequently when railroad is
sues of a speculative nature, such as
Missouri-Pacific 512s, Erie 5s, Nickel
Plate 412s and Western Maryland 512s
had dropped a point or two, support
was encountered.
Among industrials there were early
losses of a point or more in Interna-
tional Match SIS, Dodge Brothers 6s
and Texas Corporation 5s. These de-
clines were partially retraced. In the
lesser rated utilities there was also a
tendency toward lower levels. Western
Union 6i@s and Utilities Power & Light
5lss both lost a point. Small declines
appeared in International Telephone 5s,
American g. Foreign Power 5S and
American International SIS. How
ever, high-grade utility and carrier OBJ
legations, which have in the last few
days had broad Improvement, held
their gains. This applied to Atchson
General As, Norfolk g. Western As,
American Telephone IS, New York
Telephone 4l2s and others.
The foreign list was disturbed by
heavinesS in the German group, reflect
ing uneasiness over the possible outcome
of next Sundays elections. Young plan
515s sold down more than point to a
price about points under their recent
high Great Britain 512s were frac-
tionally lower, mirroring somewhat
easier sterling quotations. Most other
Europeans had small, but unimportant,
declines. The South American list con-
tinued steady. Japanese issues were
unchanged.
There was again considerable atten-
ton paid to the new capital market.
New York City borrowed another $20,-
600, 900 out of the $151 ,0000 900 revolving
credit arranged earlier in the year.
The money was borrowed at the rate,
which is constant with the credit, of
574 per cent This is now somewhat
above the markets appraisal of New
York City obligations.

Latin American Loans

CHICAGO, March II up. Thomas
F. Lee, economist and stock broker, said
in survey made public yesterday that
about 100000 persons have more than
81, 400, ,000, 900 invested in Latin Ameri-
can securities, the value Of which have
greatly decreased.
Lee said that most Of the loans, made
to Central and South American govern
ments at the rate of 81 200, 900 a day In
1926, 1927 and 1923, we're based on in
adequate knowledge of conditions. Sta
tistics on exports and imports of the
countries involved also were often faulty,
he said.
He suggested that similar conditions
could be avoided in the future by rigid
investigation of the purposes of such
loans, careful supervision to see that the
money is properly spent, pledges of net
incomes until the bonds have been re-
tired, and use of United States mate
rails wherever feasible.

We are yeomen. America has pros
pered because of the sweat of our
brow and we have done our jobs
with a cheerfulness and a patience
that has made the world marvel. Not
little of this patience and cheerful
ness we have shown under stress is
predicated on the fact that we know
that the ownership of the United
States is vested in a democratic gov
eminent and that sovereignty in the
last analysis resides in all the peo-
pie. We tolerate many evils. We're
sensible enough to be uuiescent, but
not acquiescent. We know the his

plain. So is the language of the

| LLOYD l.. Black of Everett, son of
the late Judge W W. Black. just
recently made a definite announce
ment of his candidacy for United
States Senator upon the democratic
ticket. Lloyd Black is former
prosecuting attorney of Snohomish
County, has been president of the
Port Board of the Port of Everett,
and as a progressive democrat has
Icing been prominent in the demo-
cratic party of the state.
He has lived in Washington for
over forty years, receiving his grade,
high school and university education
in this state. He has been active in
civic affairs, is a director of the
Everett Chamber of Commerce and
past commander of Earl Faulkner
Post of the American Legion.
In his announcement Black de-
clares:
Courageous and immediate relief
for the unemployed, for agriculture,
for the business of the everyday man
and woman instead of the privileged
monopolies, is the vital issue of this
campaign. All other considerations
are trivial in comparison

The u. S. Senatorial contest gives
promise of being a warm fight. AL
ready Adam Beeler of Seattle and
Homer Bone of Tacoma have an
nounced their intention of filing the
the Republican nomination, while
Lloyd Black of Everett, Edwin j.
Brown and Stephen J. Chadwick of
Seattle have signified their intention
of filing ON the Democratic ticket
for the nomination. Ralph Horn is
said to be receptive candidate on
the Republican ticket. These and all
these will give Wesley l.. Jones, the
incumbent, work enough to do dur
ing the primary campaign if he again
captures this nomination, which he
has so often done, and that, too
without little or no effort. After
the primaries the election of United
States Senator will become a parti-
san fight and the Democrats arc
cock sure of whipping the Repub
lican nominee to FRAGILE, but the
supporters of the Republican nomi
nee, whomeyer he may be, make no
bones of saying that is but another
Democratic pipe dream.

In the coming September pri-

bench of the superior court of King
County for the ensuing four years
and thirteen of them will be elected
at the November election. Should
any one or all of them prove I'M
worthy or betray the trust imposed
in them, only by impeachment can
they be disposed of and such has
never happened in the state of Wash
ington, and yet some pretty tough

to the people of this state; hence
the emphasis of making the proper
selection for the bench as has been
set out in the premises hereof.

The reason for this is simple The
Negro voters in the past have been
satisfied with the hooey, the honeyed
promises, the oratorical taffy and the
eloquent buncombe of Republican
campaign speakers.
They have supported the party
because there seemed no other alter
native. The Democrats advocated
no policy of Negro improvement, and
the Socialists silk hat generalities
were beyond comprehension.
Something tells us this year the
Republican party is due a great
shock. First, because the Democrat
ic party, North and South, is awak
ening to the fact that Negro ballot
counts as much as a white one.
Then, there is the tremendous
pull of the Communist party which
has nominated a Negro candidate
for yice-president and is carrying its
program of race equality to the
country in a demonstrable manner
that even the most humble citizen
can understand.

Ancient, acby, and venerable gen
tlemen of the South. questioned as
to their health. have been known tc
remark lust tolerable."
This may be interpreted to mean
that their joints are stiff, their
muscles ache and their breath comes
in wheezes.
"Tolerable" about expresses the
Republican National Convention held
in Chicago.
The 1892 COP. platform declar-
ing for equal opportunity and rights
is typical of Republican soft soap
for the past fifty years.
The platform of 1900 declared
that every man should be given a
chance to occupy any place in the
national government to which his
attachments, character and ability
entitle him."
The 1904 platform expressed belief
in the equality of all men without
regard to race or nationality.
The 1908 platform not only urged
enforcement of the 18th, 14th and
18th Amendments to the Constitu-
ton, but demanded equal justice
and an end to Acknowledgement"
In 1912, the party restated its
race equality views and hit at peon-
age. Lynching was denounced as
early as 1896 and a Federal anti
lynching bill promised in 1920.
The 1882 convention, therefore,
in its Negro plank offers the same
sort of pledge which has been fam
iliar to us all for fifty years.
1t is pledge the Republican party
does not intend to keep, any more
than it intended to enforce the war
amendments, to slap at peonage,
segregation and Acknowledgement, or
any more than it intended to see
that Negroes had an equal chance in
the civil service.
The party regards the other planks
which it puts into its platform as
obligations to be fulfilled. Our presi-
