also what transpired in a later
meeting of so-called vigilantes with

No doubt the assault on Attor-

the premises or windows of the

county employees. Among the wit

whom 1 have not interviewed, are
representatives of two daily news

Incident to a thorough investiga-

B. A. Harrigan, county agricultur-
al commissioner today issued the fol-
lowing statement in reply to General
GlasSford:
I'm answer to General GlaSsfords
statements in regard to me, and the
manner in which the state and
countys business has been handled
by my office, can only say that my
record is an open book of which I
am proud. For IL years have been
county horticultural commissioner
of Imperial county and stand by
my actions which have been pro-
gressive, for the enforcement of the
law, and for the best interests of
this county. General Glassford's self
humiliation has evidently warped
his Judgment and lie has made
statements smarting under the lash
he has applied to himself.

SECRET INDICTMENTS
RETURNED FOR ELEVEN

st. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. 3.-The Bu-
chanan County grand jury last Fri
day returned eleven secret indict-
ments in connection with the lynching
here recently of Lloyd Warner, 49,
year-old youth accused of having at
tackled a young woman.
The grand jury composed of group
of representative white citizens issued
a statement which read:
"In the lynching of Lloyd Warner
we wish to state that our act should
not be taken as final in closing the
investigation of this inhuman orgy,
but we feel that only beginning has
been made which should be pursued
further by the law enforcement agen-
cies of the state and county, and
wherever the facts would justify other
arrests and prosecutions than those
already in progress, we earnestly sug-
gest that guilty parties be speedily
brought to justice"

Shelves of Stubborn
Stores

Washington.-Following a five-day
picket and boycott of A. & P. stores
located in Colored neighborhoods here,
13 additional clerks have been placed
according to an announcement by the
New Negro National Alliance. In
seven of the stores there will be an
entire Colored personnel, excluding
managers. Three other stores are
under consideration and there is a
possibility that Colored clerks may
be used in them.
Mr.. link, general superintendent of
the District A. & P. stores, told the
committee that the idea of putting
in Colored statesmen was a good idea
from the business standpoint and that
such employment would mean greater
sales volume for the company and
would not be looked upon as charity.
He also stated that Colored en-
ployees would be given the same op-
portunity for advancement and pro-
motion as any other employee of the
company and that within a period of a
year the Colored citizens of Washing
ton could look forward to the develop
ment of managers in each of the
stores where Colored clerks are now
working.

my viewpoint.
MORGAN COLLEGE, in Baltimore,
is gonna have a real football stadium
all its own. The stadium will seat
10000, and the CWA is paying for
part of it. Not bad, not bad. OF
course seating capacity of 10000 is
relatively small when compared to the
wonders of architecture which seat
from $4,000 to $4,000, but it is large
for Negro college, and pretty fine
thing to have. Negro football is still
in its infancy, still crude and unpol-
ished when compared with the
smoothly working, well-coached teams
of large white universities, but our
colleges are more and more taking in
as coaches the Colored stars who
graduate from these white schools,
and things should be in better shape
in q football way in the near future.

Baltimore School
Children Picket
IS & 10" Stores

Baltimore.-Having already placed
23 clerks in A. & P. stores in Colored
neighborhoods here, Kiwah Costonie,
leader of the movement to secure jobs
for Negroes in stores which enjoy Col
ored patronage, has turned his forces
toward boycott of fve-and-ten-cent
stores. Two hundred schoolboys and
girls went into the fourth day of their
boycott march in the 100 block Of
Pennsylvania Avenue last Tuesday.
Since noon on Friday, these march
ers have kept up the promenade be-
fore the large department five-and-
ten-cent stores, millinery shops, shoe
stores and pawnshops, sometimes
singing in defiance to the bluster
winds, sometimes grim and silent, but
always a look of determination on
their faces. On their backs are glar-
ing signs printed in large letters,
Don't Spend Your Money Where You
Can't Work." "Give Our Boys and
Girls a Chance!" Back and forth they
marched, huddled together in little
groups to ward off the cold.
In these stores stand the managers
with noses pressed against the doors,
the once crowded aisles empty, the
once busy salesgirls standing immo-
bile at their counters, the hustle and
hustle of former days replaced by the
stark presence of idleness. Customers
who for years have spent their money
without question of where their dol
lars were going and what portion of
them were coming back in employ
ment, view the spectacle of pacing
weary feet, pause at the threshold of
the swinging doors, listen to the silent
plea on the picketers' backs, finch un-
der the contempt SC fiuently expressed
in hopeful, youthful eyes, return their
money to their pockets and turn on
their heels and walk away, deferring
their purchases until later.
Sympathetic citizens park their
cars by the curb, swing open the
doors and allow the marchers to rest
and get warm Restaurants pass
along a friendly cup of coffee. Boys
and girls share bits of candy and
sandwiches as they move along.
The fourth day Tuesday, of the
boycott found no compromise. The
store managers continued to hold out
for all white help, and divers, coun-
ter-programs, alleged threats, and
purported bribes find the picketers
adamant. On the shelves of the stores
languish thousands of dollars worth
of Christmas merchandise as the holi-
day season nears. This week truce
of some sort is expected to be signed;
what the terms will be are not known.

Last week, vote was taken on the
outstanding athlete in the Big Ten
WILLIS WARD of Michigan ran in
second place, with jim PURVIS of
Purdue in first place. There was a
difference of two points in their
standing. Now, I hate to shout
prejudice" every time Negro
athlete isn't given due credit, but
after looking back over the accom-
plishments of the two boys, I fail to
see why Purvis should be counted the
better of the two. He is a fine, all
around athlete, of that there is not
the slightest doubt, but honestly be-
lieve Ward tops him, and I believe
those two points difference in the vot-
ing really shows discrimination. Of

NEW PARTY ATTACHMENTS

For the last hundred years or SO
voters have gone to the polls and
found two lists of candidates on their
ballots. One bore the name Repub-
lican, the other Democrat. Today
both major parties are torn and bat
tered, mainly because of internal dis
sention. Authoritative observers
are forecasting that we are on the
verge of a political realignment that
will mean the death of the old par
ties, the birth of new ones.
At the present, neither party has
program that a majority OF its mem
bers honestly support; neither can
consistently obtain the allegiance
that is essential to party discipline.
In the Republican party, for ex-
ample, are such Numerically OPP
posed men as Senator Reed in Penn
sylvania and Senator Norris OF Ne
braska; it would be hard to think OF
a single issue on which they agree,
yea each carries the same party
label. In the Democratic party,
conservative such as Senator Glass OF
Virginia is faced with radical such
as Senator Bone of Washington
while the head of the party, Presl-
dent Roosevelt, maintains a middle
ground between these opposing attl-
tudes. The titular leader OF the
Republicans is former President
Hoover-yet close to half OF the
party's members in the Senate OPP
pose his principles, and many OF
htem, such as Johnson, Norris, La
toilette, and Borah refused to sup
port him when he ran for reelection
in 1882.
New parties, when and if they ap-
pear, will be definitely opposed IN
principle as we'll as name. One Will
consist of conservatives, the other Oh
liberals and radicals. 1t is a note
worthy fact, that President Roose-
democrat during the speeches he
made on his tour of the United
States and territories. Many per-
sons close to Washington affalrs
think that the President is seeking
to effect the realignment now.
A more concrete illustration OF the
current trend is afforded by the Cal
ifornia primaries. In that state
Republican Senator Johnson filed for
both nominations, carried them poth
by heavy majorities. And Upton
Sinclair, lifelong Socialist, but a
Democratic candidate, rode easily
into the gubernatorial nomination
over all regular" Democratic can
didates. In many states party lines
have been destroyed in this manner

SIGNERS OF CORN-HOG CON-
TRACTS TO DECIDE ON
PROGRAM FOR 1875

Corn-hog contract signers through
out the country are to be asked to
determine, through referendum,
whether they want an adjustment
program in 1895, according to Dr.. T.
b. Symons, director of the Extension
Service, who attended a conference
of Representatives from Northeastern
states, which was held in New York
on Sept Is. This conference was
one of the six regional conferences
called by the AAA to formulate plans
for holding the referendum and
Maryland was also represented by
E. I. Oswald, state county agent
leader.
Officials of the Adjustment Admin
istration point to the fact that num-
bers of livestock in the country have
been greatly reduced as result of
the severe drought in large areas
and that there is possibility, if no
control program is carried out, that
corn production next year may be
seriously out of balance with needs
for feed.
