By Deeds Performed
and Promises Fulfilled"

Topeka, Kas.-Excerpts follow
from the address by Representative
Bertrand H. Smell notifying Govern
or ALI M. Landon Of his selection as
the Republican presidential nomi-
nee:
"Here and now this nation turns
its back forever upon broken prom
Uses and hollow 0aths!"
"The spontaneous expression
Of popular sentiment from coast
to coast, which eliminated in
your nomination at Cleveland,
offers eloquent testimony that
your authority is rooted in the
silent, secret hearts of the whole
people"
"The crisis which calls you to be
first among us will never yield to
the sounding shibboleths Of mere
partisanship. You are saluted today
by patriots of all parties!"
'Here in a solvent Kansas the
people found a man who worked
calmly amid all the noisy din of
the New Deals failures and false
starts. They found a man who kept
his books and the books of his gov
eminent by simple, honest, old
fashioned arithmetic a man
who stood like a rock against the
Authorizations of those who sup
posed that they could guide Amer
lea to stability and prosperity by
shameful political squandering of
the peoples substance. In this
choice our people are guided by
deeds performed and promises
fulfilled"
GAS you set forth upon your high
endeavor, carry in your heart the
message of this hour:
America is with you!
America will sustain you!
America will see you through to
victory"

American market" adding: "The
loss of markets both at home and
abroad far outweighs the value OF
all the benefits paid to farmers"
He declared American farmers
are "entitled to all of the home mar
ket they can supply without njus-
tice to the consumer. We propose
a policy to protect them in this

ton, and for protection of 1.-The

eve shall fulfill its (the plat
form's) pledge to give every reason
able assistance to producers in
areas suffering from Affections" he
promised, and charged the Roose-
welt administration with having
"g...4pled with the La ,ded feed and
food supplies, through its program
of scarcity" It overlooked the fact
that Mother Nature cannot be regi-
mented," he said. "The time has
now come (to) replace this futile
program with one economically and
socially right"
Right to Organize.
On the subject of labor, he recog-
nized the rights and usefulness Of
organized labor, and added: "The
right of labor to organize means to
me the right of employees to join
any type of union they prefer,
whether it covers their plant, craft,
or industry free from inter-
ference from any source"
Discussing "the basic principles
upon which our Nation is founded"
he said: "The prime needs of men
have not changed since the Declara-
ton. The people themselves set up
this government any change
which the people want they can
have. But for any official or
branch i. to attempt such change
without authority from the people,
is to do an unwarranted and illegal
act"
"There has now appeared the inn
pulse to take away and lodge with
the Chief Executive, without the
peoples consent, the powers which
they have kept in their state gov
ernments or reserved to them
selves. It is not my belief that the
Constitution is above change. But
change must come through the PEG
pie and not by usurpation.'

THE INVISIBLE CROSS

Did Mary know, when Christ was
born
Within the lowly cattle stall,
The cup of joy she thought so sweet,
Ere it was quaffed, would turn to
gall?
Could she have known the precious
Son
She cherished with such love and pride
Would sorrow in Gethsemane,-
Would be betrayed, condemned, de-
MED?
She saw Him heal the sick and lame,
And cause the dead to rise again:
What grief it was for her to know
His only recompense was pain!
She followed Him to Calvary,
And stood little way apart;
The nails that pierced His hands and
feet
Were piercing, too, her gentle heart.
He suffered there upon the cross
And for our sins He bled and died.
But on another cross, nearby,
A Mothers heart was crucified.

ADMIT DISCRIMINATION
ON w. p. A. WORK

WASHINGTON. = For the first
time since the WPA and other fed
eral departments were created by
the New Deal Administration to
provide jobs and relieve nation
wide distress among the unemploy-
ed, WPA officials this week admit
ed there was discrimination in the
South against colored destitute and
unemployed and that white were
given preference in both jobs and
relief.
A bulletin issued by the FERA
Works Progress Administration,
gives as one reason for the mark
edly low comparative representa-
ton of Negro workers in the South
ern States and in rural areas: "the
tendency Of local relief offices to
accept the Negro worker for relief
LESS READILY than the white"
Workers Fare Better in North /,
According to the bulletin, total
of 798,997 colored workers with
previous work experience were on
the public unemployment relief
rolls in March, 1885.
Over one-half Of these workers,
the figures show, were located in
eight states! New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, Georg-
ia, North Carolina, and Louisiana.
In all the Eastern and Industrial
states, Negro workers had great
er comparative representation on
the relief rolls than white workers

ers in the 1880 Census is used as
the standard. In the Southern
states as a group, Negroes appear
ed on the relief rolls much less
frequently than expected, although
the frequency for the individual
states varied from 2O1 for every
100 expected in Oklahoma to 81 In
Mississippi. In the country, as a
whole, Negro workers were strik-
ingly concentrated in urban CEN
ters. Only 218o of the experienced
Negro workers on relief, as COM
pared with 37% of the white work
ers, lived in rural areas.
Of the experienced Negro work
ers on relief, 22,418 were found to-
have been white-collar workers;
634,380 were found to have been
manual workers, and 1881 were
found to have been agricultural
workers; and the usual occupations
of 26,248 were not known. Of the
white collar group, 1909 had been
professional and technical work
ers, 1857 had been proprietors,
manager and officials; 6,310 had
been office workers, and 4,512 had
been sales people. Of the manual
workers, $3.50 had been classed
as skilled, 219,642 as semi-skilled
and unskilled, and 276,208 as in
domestic and personal service. Of
the agricultural workers, 33,746
had been farm operators and 82,-
