Southern Elections
Hurt Lynch Bill
purge FAILURE SEEN AS
DOOM TO LYNCH BILL
USED RACE ISSUE

Washington (ANP)- Failure
of President Roosevelt's purge"
of such southern senators as
Smith of South Carolina is seen
here as a blow to passage of the
federal anti-lynching bill at the
next session of congress.
Smith and George were two of
the bills greatest opponents, and
rode to victory in the recent pri-
mary on the race issue. Astute
and experienced, they know all the
tricks of combating such legisla-
ton. Where newly elected southern
senator might be just as anxious
to defeat the measure, they would
be handicapped because of their
newness in preventing the bill
from coming to a vote as Smith
and George did last January.
The result is that the strong
est of the southern senators will
present the same old unbroken pha-
lanx against the bill which Sena-
tors Wakner and Van Mugs have
promised to bring up again this
session of congress.

To Hold Election
NEGRO PRESS HOUR"
OBSERVED BY BAPTIST

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. % tby R.
C. Fisher for ANP.)-"The Negro
Press Hour" when a report of the
editor of The Voice of the Bap-
lists official organ, Rev. R. c.
Barbour of Tennessee, made his
annual report to the National
Baptist Convention, U. S. A, last
Friday morning, was one of the
high lights of the 18th annual
convention and the celebration of
the 18th year Of the emancipation
of the Negro in America.
THE Negro Church and Press
are institutions where the Negro
has always enjoyed the opportun-
ity of expressing himself without
the dictation or domination of any
other group. He is freer in the
Church, than in other spheres.
His leadership here is unhamper-
ed. He worships as he pleases,
plans the church activities to his
liking, finances the work and had
absolute power of control. Here
the Negro physician, lawyer,
school teacher, and those of var
ious professions and pursuits
have received their start to indie
pendence and success. The white
man doesn't bother his religion.
The Negro Press like the Church
is independent. 1t thinks for the
Negro, speaks for the Negro, and
fights for Negro. It's policies
and principles are not for sale,
neither are it's ideas subsidized
by financial expediency, or it's in
fluence used for personal aggrand
lSCIiCll.
Gas we persue historical rec
crds we find that there were eff
forts on the part of the Negro in
America to self expression back
in his early beginning. The first
illustration of Negro publication
was in ITO, when some of the
literary productions of Phyllis
Wheatley were put in circulation.
AS early as 1882, melodies ascrib-
ed to the American Negro were be-
ing printed in Britain. In 1927,
Samuel Cornish and John B. Russ
worm, Americans, placed their
names to the first Negro period

At last his cousin, Blacky the Crow, managed to get him calmed down so that he could tell him all about it. When he heard the story which Sammy had to tell of the stranger he had seen deep in the Green For est he looked very much as the oth- CT little people did when they heard Sammy screaming foolishly.
 You see. it was very hard for Blaclly to really believe that Sam my had seen what he had said he had. Not that he thought Sammy was telling a wrong story! Oh, my, no! Sammy was too much in ear nest What Blacky thought was that he had seen a lot more than he really had You see. Blacky had

Farmer Browns Boy and wearing a black fur coat! Nobody like that ever has lived in the Green Forest l guess I'd know if they had. Sam my must have eaten something and had a very bad dream, or else there is something the matter with his eyes"
 He was talking to himself in this way as he flew along, all the time keeping a sharp watch for the stranger, when. without any warn ing, the stranger himself stepped out from behind a tree almost un- der Blacky. It startled Blacky so that he let out frightened Cav! Caw!" and nearly turned somer- sault in the air He caught him. self just in time and flew to the top of the nearest pine tree. where he could look down and see all that was going on.
 Everything was just as Sammy had said. The stranger did wear a black fur coat, he was as big as Farmer Browns boy, and he did have great feet and the biggest claws Blacky had ever seen. Blacky felt just as if he ought to peck himself to make sure that he was awake. Of course he knew he was, but he just couldn't make it seem so.
 Now, Blacky sometimes gets as excited as Sammy Jay. and this was one of the times. He started back for the Green Meadows as fast as he could fly. and all the way he was cawing at the top of his lungs. Sam my Jay heard him long before he saw him and Sammy grinned. "He found him!" thought Sammy. Now he knows that told the truth. My, but he sounds just as crazy as I ever did"
 And then as Blacky came in sight Sammy once more grew excited, too, and began to scream questions at the top of his lungs, until it was hard to say who was screaming the loudest, Sammy or his big cou- sin, Blacky the Crow.
