KELLY MILLER
SAYS
IS THE SOUTH IN THE
SADDLE?

u a 2CiIA dtioii oHItNGhAi5
the Civil War the national fri
umph Of the Democratic Party
was dreaded ON the ground that
it would place the South in the
saddle and give predominance
to the proslayery element that
once sought to destroy the I'm
ion. Although the administra-
tons of Grover Cleveland, VIII
son and Franklin D. Roosevelt
demonstrated the groundless-
ness of this fear, still it consti-
tuted the chief reliance Of Ne
gro Republican spellbinders to
hold the colored race to its for
mer allegiance during the last
campaign. The triumphant vic
tory of the New Deal in the
last three elections puts an end
forever to this apprehension.
The sixteen Southern states,
by virtue of their political soil
darity as a bloc in the Federal
Congress, possessed an effect
iveness which blocs always ex-
ercise. Because the Southern
states were In the habit of CON
tinuing their representatives in
Congress instead of shifting
them frequently as the North
ern states do. Southern Con
gressmen and Senators were
promoted to the headship Of the
principal committees by virtue
of their seniority. This long
evity gave them undue promi-
hence in legislative procedure.
Under the New Deal the
South no longer sits in the sal
die. The Democratic vote in the
more powerful Northern and
Western States reIegates the
South to a subordinate place in
congress as it is in the country.
President Roosevelt carried
46 out Of 48 states in the last
election, overlapping his oppon-
emit by more than a ten million
majority. II every one of the
16 Southern states had voted
against him, his election would
have been brilliantly victorious.
The Democratic majority in
both House and Senate far ex-
ceeds the margin of the South
ern contingent. If every South
ern Democrat in both House
and Senate should oppose the
policies of the party, there is
still a sufficient majority of the
Northern and Western repre-.
sentatives to assure their tri-
umph.
] The New Deal has national
lied the Democratic party and
made it absolutely Independent
of any class or section of thu
country. This should bring as
surance and satisfaction to tn,
Negro voter. The South no long
er has the power, even if it ha
the disposition, either TO enac
unfriendly legislation or to sue
c~essfully oppose friendly mea
sures espoused by the more liz
eral-minded North and West.
One practical result will II
evitably flow from this JUNIORS

The Negro spellbinders in fl
ture elections can no longe

ton and the Negro. My goo

THAT BROKEN STEERING GEAR

You commonly see news items such as: John Jones was
charged with reckless driving following a collision between his
ear and another vehicle. Jones stated that his steering gear
failed. Both cars were badly wrecked, the occupants sustaining
minor injuries. > Sometimes the item has a grimmer sound, when
people are badly injured or killed. But the "broken steering
lear is one Of the commonest defenses put up by drivers re
sponsible for aeeidents-and, curiously enough, the more influ-
entail the driver, the oftener it is used.
As n matter of fact, it is doubtful if any part of a modern
motor ear is strueturany stronger than the steering gear. Elk
baus6ve tests by manufacturers showing that real steering gear
failures are practically unknown. But John Jones is always hav
ing them.
Maybe he is drunk and weaving his way home when the
crash comes. He sees that the front end of his ear is completely
mangled-and so he calls upon the ghost of his steering gear
which "broke' for some reason just as he was making the turn
MAYBE he was speeding on a slick pavement and went into a
,skid-well, the steering gear is blamed again, it can t talk back!
1t is time we stopped listening to the steering gear abb and
similar ones which are false 999 times out of 1000. John Jones
may escape iail-but the fact remains that some $4,000 people
are being killed each year in preyentable accidents. The reck
less and incompetent motorists must be punished and their ali
bis laughed out of court, if that CHASTITY toll is to be curbed.
The Union Pacific Railroad has announced that it will
spend $8,OO0O00 for new engines, new passenger cars, addi-
tional fleet of automobile freight cars, and the air-condltlonlng'
recruitment and modernization of other passenger ears. This
supplements an extensive program which has been carried on
during 1886. Contract has already been let for twenty high
speed freight and passenger engines to cost $3OOO,OOo. Bios are
now being taken for forty new passenger coaches and five cot
fee shop type dining cars. Three hundred automobile cars OF rec
ord capacity will be built at the SYSTEMS shop in Omaha. Inc all
conditioning and modernization phase of the project has started
and several hundred additional workers employed.
Here is real industrial progress-the kind of progress that
rrovideO emnlovment. stimulates a multitude of othe industries
Through purchases, creates real productive wealth and ta1aole
income and, finally, improves the standards of a vital puonc
service. It is emblematic of the kind of progress being made by
other railroads as well.
e And this money is being spent in the face of the fact that
: the fact that the railroad industry has a long way to go before
