fifty men have fought their way successfully
through the 254 bad rapids of Grand Canyon
since the first exploration of the Colorado by
John Wesley Powell in 1869. At least as many
have died in vain attempts. Fifteen major
efforts have met with defeat or disaster in the
last twenty-five years and in that time only
three expeditions - that of the United States
Geological Survey in the fall and winter of
1923, my own in the spring and summer of
1927 and the Eddy Frazier expedition of 1884
have made the journey all the way through
Grand Canyon from Lees Ferry to Grand
Wash Cliffs. Three men and one woman have
lost their lives in Grand Canyon whirlpools

my voice to make it heard above the thunder
of the rapids: but he already was pulling
strongly on his oars and we flashed safely by
the ugly rock. missing it by inches. Then for
fifty roaring yards We lodged other boulders.
Muddy water splashed over US and poured
into our boat Cross currents and waves

and we rode safely through.
We turned to see how the other men were

and the rocky wall. Hatch pulled f,riously at

current out pulled him, and as we watched
his boat struck the rock.

completely over, end for end. pinning Frazier
and Hatch against the boulder. Then Dr..
Frazier jumped. saw him for moment IN

The muddy water closed over him again and

against the rocks. Visioning broken bones, l
shuddered at the difficulties of nursing such

Swain pulled our boat to the rescue, but

the human beings concerned no chance to
recuperate.
Then, too, the Colorado trip is unique be-
cause during the entire period both ear and
eye are assailed with an incomprehensible ]
violence. The almost subterranean effect cre-E
ated by the overhanging walls, somber andE
dispiriting adds to the nervous strain. The[
incredible, incessant, deafening roar of the
river that pounds, pounds. pounds day andI
night in welter of monstrous sound magnifedt
and reverberated by the cliffs eats into any
organism made of flesh ard blood.
Nineteen men have started with me on two
Colorado River expeditions. Five of those men
have left the river at the first trail that offered
a way out. That is little more than one in
every four: and the men were carefully hand
picked from many applicants. This high per.
oentage of loss through desertion probably is
due, more than anything else. to the total
inability of the average man, familiar with
average rivers, to adjust himself to the sur
prising and shocking behavior of the perilous
Colorado.
It is a mad, crazy river. In LOO miles it
falls $4,000 feet and, flowing at tremendous
speed. its heavy, tmbid water carrying six
tenths per cent of sand and silt, it rushes
furiously - like a river of quicksilver Il
through its narrow canyons, sweeping every
thing irresistibly before it. At periods of high
water the powerful current picks up great
boulders that fall from overhanging cliffs and
rolls them downstream with terrifying roars
that echo and re-echo through the mile deep
canyons.
The Grand Canyon is terrific chasm|
slashed across the floor of desert. 1t is ten to
thirteen miles wide and more than mile deep
in sections where the river has cut its way
through 5000 feet of sedimentary rock and
another thousand through the underlying

size of the Canyon conveys an idea of the

{ The decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States is that Negroes

Democratic party in the North when
the Democratic party in the south will
not allow Negroes to become members
OF said Democratic party and when
you elect them in the North. YOU also
strengthen them in the South from a

disfranch;sed every Negro in Texas.
E. WASHINGTON RHODES, In
dependent, president Of the National
Bar Association:
The United States Supreme court
delivered the bred Scott decision Of
the Twentieth Century on Monday.
When Justice Roberts completed
the reading of the opinion which sus-
tanned the methods used by the Demo-
cratic party of Texas to prevent col
ored citizens from participating in
the Democratic Primary elections, the
Fifteenth Amendment had been killed
as effectively as though it had beer
repealed by a vote of Congress.
The Supreme court forgot its re-
cent liberalism. The Justices went
back to the days of Chief Justice
fancy and the Infamous bred Scott
Decision-went back to 1857 when the
worlds highest tribunal ruled that
Negroes were not citizens, could not
be citizens and had no rights which
white men were bound to respect.
PERRY W. HOWARD, Republican
national committeeman for the State
of Mississippi:
The Supreme court decision is
wrong as a legal proposition, if the
court was correct in its previous de-
cision that the state executive COM
mittee of the respective parties could
not prescribe who could participate
in State Primaries, for the reason
that the state convention was as
much created by the laws of the state
as the state committee.
Therefore, if he action Of the state
committee in excluding Negroes was
seeking to do by ~indirection what they
could not do by direction, we are If
restibly driven to the logical conclu-
sisn that the state convention has
been substituted for the safe commit
tee to do the dirty work.
The effect of the decision will be
that the Democrats in the South will
close ranks more and more against
the Negroes participation in their pri-
maries and further this decision will
encourage greater restriction upon
Negoes voting in general elections.
Incidently, some of our brethren
will be convinced that the Democrats
don't want them except to vote in
Northern general elections.
Sic, semper, democratum.
