Democrats Good
As Republicans
Says Dubois

CHEYNEY, Pa.-Dr. w. f. D.
Du Bots, editor of The Crisis mag
azine, was guest speaker in the
auditorium of Pennsylvania Hall, at
Cheyney State Teachers College, last
Monday night.
Speaking of historians, DR.. Du
Bots brought out the fact that a
historian is human being and has
his own ideas about various phases
of history and no one writer's word
should be taken as final.
A Southerner writing history
would, of course, always set out the
facts to the advantage of the South.
A Northerner writing a history of
that period would, of course. always
tell it from the Northerners' point
of view. The white historians, north
and south, invariably think of Ne
groes last when writing American
history.
He said that the panic of 1878
was about equal to the present de-
preston. Stealing and grating on g
large scale always follows war. After
each panic Americans always vote
for the opposite party.
1t is difficult for a third party tc
function in the United States, anc
where we have only two politica
parties in this country during thu
days of prosperity they become fat
and lazy, so to speak. The Democrats
are just about as good as the Re
publicans-in effect, the two partie.
during the days of prosperity ar,
merely one party with TWO names
and two faces. Politically speaking
in so far as i benefits Negroes, the.
might as well vote for Roosevelt a
for Hoover.

Biggest Negro
Bank In Capital
Remains Solvent

WASHINGTON The Prudential
Bank, headed by DR.. John R. Haw-
kins, weathered an almost paralyz-
ing run" on its resources last week,
after four white banks had closed
their doors.
The Prudential weathered two
day run on it last Friday and Sat-
urday and resumed business as usual
Monday morning.
The run" was stemmed only aft
err a stubborn fight, into which all
of the institutions resources were
flung, and speakers were called in
to persuade the depositors that the
condition of the bank was sound,
and that their monies were well pro-
tected. From every pulpit in the
city Sunday, an appeal was made
against the continuation of the run.
Meanwhile officers and directors of
the bank held long conferences,
working out plans which would as.

Officers of the bank reached as

Federal Judge Rules Negroes Have Right
To Vote In Texas Democratic Primary

and the acts of the respondents
(Kamp, Lubbock ct all in seeking,
under and by virtue of such resolu-
ton, to prevent complainant from
voting in such primaries, because he
is a Negro, are unlawful"
When interviewed by an N. N. P.
reporter, J. M. Nabrit, one of the
Negro attorneys for Julius White,
said: 81 see no reason why Negroes
should not march to the polls and
vote in the primary. The court def
initely decided in favor of the main
contention of my client, Mr. White.
The resolution has been declared null
and void and violation of the
Fourteenth Amendment. Any cleo
ton judge who denies any qualified
Negro voter the right to vote is
liable to $4,000 fine and big
damage suit. The judge only failed
to grant US the injunction, but up
held us in every other contention.
What more do our people expect.
Do they want the judge to tell them
to go to the polls and vote?"
Huggins Says Bar Yet In Force
W. o. Higgins, white, chairman
of the state executive committee
and Houston Chronicle editor, said
that the decision of the court in
declaring unlawful the resolution
passed by the state Democratic pres
idential convention held in Houston
May "a, 1882, was only All express
sion of the opinion of Federal Judge
Kennerly, and therefore did not
raise the bar instituted to prevent
Negroes from participating in the
"white mans primary.
Speculation is rife here as to what
course both groups are going to
follow. Most Negroes look upon the
opinion as a complete victory ano
the elimination of long and ardu

HOUSTON, Texas. - Especial y
Federal Judge T. M. Kennerly Tues
day refused to compel the Demo-
cratic Party in Harris County to
permit Negroes to vote in primaries,
but at the same time upheld the
contention that their exclusion was
violative of their constitutional
rights.
He denied a mandamus to Julius
White, Negro, but in the opinion
stated it was because of the mature
of his (White's) prayer.
It thus appeared change in
pleadings might afford White oppor-
tunity to force the party to permit
him and other Negroes to vote.
Judge Kennerly specifically denied
the main contention of the defend
ants-the Harris County Democratic
executive ommittee-that the party
had the inherent power to deter
mine the qualifications of its men,
bership.
He pointed out that the United
States supreme court already had
held the state had no authority to
exclude Negroes from the primaries
In rendering this decision, Judge
Kennerly said:
"Unlike Moses, who refused to be
known as the son of Pharaoh's
daughter, the Democratic party has,
over a period of 25 years, chosen to
be known as a child and agency OF
the state, abandoning its own inner
emit powers and choosing to conduct
its affairs under the grants of power
from the state.

Atlanta Negroes
Most Progressive
In Business

ATLANTA, Ga.-(By A. Ander-
son for N.N.PD = Atlanta is the
New York of the South" and it is
also the most aggressive city in the
United States where Negro business
is concerned, with the possible ex-
ception of Chicago.
Atlanta has over two~score of
filling stations, all doing active and
remunerative business; it has the
only Negro-owned and operated
jewelry store in the entire East or
South, which carries a complete and
up-to-date stock of high grade quail
ity jewels, diamonds, and gems of
the finest quality; it has one of
Americas soundest insurance COM
panies, the Atlanta Life Insurance
Company, operating in eight southern
states, and carrying a grand total
income exceeding one million six
hundred thousand dollars, paying TO
policy-holders over seven hundred
thousand dollars in dividend leash +,
and having paid to policy-holders
since 1920 the cash sum of ST.
OBS, 094.96.
Several banks serve the financial
needs of Atlantans and the neigh
boring cities, while there are Negro
owned buildings and loan associa-
tions which can come to the aid of
any home builder instantly with
cash. The Citizens Trust Company
is one of the South's strongest fl
! naneial institutions, and when other
banks in other parts of the country
were failing or on the brink of dis
aster, the Citizens Trust Company
was enjoying prosperity and secur
ity, which was a splendid tribute te
the business sagacity of its oper
ators and directors.
Incidentally, l.. D. Milton, who i,
the cashier of this bank, is also 1
partner in two of the finest drug
stores in the country, the firm o.
Milton and Yates, and its president
A. T. Walden, is an outstanding at
torney, who puts as much energ,
into civic problems and local wei
fare as he does with the banking
business.
Atlanta has one of the few mod
ern, fully equipped automobile stor
age and repair shops in the city
And in addition to this it is a
large as any automobile shop in tn
city and has patronage which as
sures it of large income each day
1t is necessary to employ traine
secretary to keep the books an
accounts of the concern, so large
its volume of business. c. h. Little
john is the sole owner and propr
etor
Atlanta has its clothing store
dress shops, its elaborate restaurant
and its business buildings housin
hundreds of offices, from which al
carried on each day an amount q
business equal to that of any othe
six southern cities combined.
