THE WHITE MANS RELIGION
by R. A. ADAMS
for The Literary Service Bureau

There are Negroes who do not
believe that any "white folks"
have religion, because of the fall
IRE of so many to practice the
principles of Christianity. This is
an unjust conclusion, because there
are in the world just thousands of
white people who believe Unfair
ness and who stand for justice
and equity. But, considering the
present state of pandemic psy-
Ghosts, as it refers to the nations
of the world, there are grounds
for scepticism.
Stronger nations Cypress weak
er ones, dominate them, crush them
rob them and destroy their free
dom. In several countries dictators
trample the rights of the people
mereilessly, and even murder those
who oppose their tyranny or even
disagree with them
Racial prejudices and persecu-
tons are everywhere. In Germany
this form of prejudice vents it.
self on the Jews. In Russia, the
"under dog" is sometimes less
than a dog. In America mob muir
der of colored people is called
"The American Pastime."
In every country rich Christ
ians ~ rob poor ones, and many
of the robbers hold official posi-
tons in the churches, sing psalms,
make large contributions to char
ity and profess to be followers of
Jesus who was honest and who
condemned injustice of all kinds.
Is it surprising then, hat there
should be doubts as to the genu-
ineness of the white mans relig-
ion? The Negro should be fair
and not make a blanket condem-
ration and the white man should
improve and demonstrate that he
is really a Christian.

VOTERS URGED
TO MAKE SURE
OF BALLOTS

A plea to Republican voters who
will be away from their precincts
August 25, the date of the primary
election, to use the absentee bal
lot so their votes may not be lost,
is made by Clarence B. Smith,
chairman of the Imperial Valley
Heald For Congress committee.
Registered voters who will be
away from their precincts on cleo
tion day may obtain absentee bal
lots at the county clerks office for
a period of two weeks, starting next
Wednesday," Smith said.
There are many women voters
of Imperial county spending the
summer in the mountain area of
San Diego county. We appeal to
their husbands to remind them to
make application for the absentee
voters ballot in order that they
may exercise their right of fran
chise. The Heald organization is
particularly interested in this mat
ter as we are anxious to roll up
the largest possible vote in this
county for Elmer w. Head.
Others who will be taking their
vacations at the time of the cleo
tion should get their absentee
ballot fixed up before they leave
the county. Voting is a duty as
well as a right and every Ameri-
can citizen should take care of his
primary citizenship obligation"

NATIONS WARNED
TO KEEP HANDS OFF

Copyright, 1886, by United Press
MADRID, Aug. |. W.P)-Left wing
sources supporting the government,
enraged at reports that foreign air
planes have been sent to the rebels,
warned today that foreign aid to
the revolt would be equivalent to
an act of war and might preciptate
general European conflict.
The left wing newspaper Claridad
in an editorial, subject as are all
others to rigid censorship, suggested
that the rebels probably hoped zone
or several" Fascist states might sup
port them.
Portugal, Italy and Germany were
mentioned as possible objects OF
rebel hope.
The government today took the
drastic step of declaring vacant all
executive and administrative posts
in universities, colleges, medical
colleges and secondary schools
throughout the country, including
deans and principals. The ministry
of educational will make new APP

GENERAL FLORES, HEAD MAN FOR
YAQUIS, DEPORTED TO MEXICO

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. /. UR -
General" Guadalupe Flores, jefe
of Barrio Pascua, Yaqui Indian vii
lage near here, was deported to
Mexico today by the U. S. border
patrol.
Flores had been head of the va
quis in this district since 1926. when
ne arrived in the United States as
a political refugee, pursued TO the
border by Mexican rurales.
Deported with him were his
lieutenant, Luciano Alvarez, and a
woman, GuayVi De Olives Epifania.
General Flores claimed titual
leadership Of all the Yaquis in Ari-
zona, but his claims were disputed
by tribesmen who had become AM
erican citizens. His declaration of
his "generalship" was an annual
event, once, several years ago, back
ed up by a revolver.
Deportation of the trio was or
dered by U. S. authorities after the
Mexican government declared an
amnesty to all political exiles. Over
lures were made to the Yaquis to
return TO the Yaqui Valley, their
former domain, where extensive ir-
rigation projects are under way.
1t was Flores who secured the
famous shirt tall history of his
people for Ivan Williams, a member
of the border patrol. Flores sent
his runners into Mexico over a
route which took them hundreds of
miles of barren desert, to return
here with their tribes chronology
written on scraps of cloth, usually
their shirt tails. Oftimes the writ
ing was in blood.
1t was through the runners, who
eVaded both Mexican and American
border patrols with ease, that Flores
kept constantly in touch with the
Yaquis of Sonora.
General" Flores never was known
to have stopped to labor, although
his tribesmen worked industriously
on farms and ranches in the district
however, at regular intervals, an
automobile would drive to his home
at night and leave large sacks of
food and other necessities. Except
for Flores, none knew the source
of his supplies.
Yaquis in Arizona reside in four
barrios, or villages, in almost ex-
actly the same fashion they did in
Mexico except for some modern re-
finements such as automobiles and
radios. The barrios are Pascua and
Libre, near here; Barrio Guadalupe,
