WRITER SAYS REPUBLICANS
BID SOUTHERN LYNCHERS
TO UNITED FRONT

Editor: In order to find the pur-
est specimens of Republican dou-
BILE bookkeeping, one merely has to
look at COP pretensions on the
question of Negro rights. Every
where, of course, the Hoover
Dewey Party is pretending great
friendship and interest in aehiev-
ing the full citizenship of the Ne
gro. They have hired a flock of
Investigators, including a noted
scholar, hoping that a report will
be brought back indicting the Ne
gro's allies, namely, labor and the
New Deal. But all of this is only
one side of the Republican wooden
nickel.
The other side is revealed more
recently in one of the most amaz-
ing and damaging admissions ever
made by the COP high command
or by one of it's hired penmen.
Wants "SOlid" South
The arch-reactionary and Negro
hater, Mark Sullivan, whose duty
it is to sell Republican gold-bricks,
urges the so-called "solid" South to
vote Republican in 1910. And why :?
Writing for his New York Her
add Tribune masters, on June 10, he
says:
eff it could happen IN 1928
(when the COP carried several
Southern states-Ed.) why not in
1910. The reason in 1910 will be
different from the reason in 1928
but the reason in 1910 will be
strong.
"For the South, in addition to
economic objections to the New
Deal, HAS ECOME FULLY
AWARE THAT THE NEW DEAL
FAVORS NEGRO SUFFRAGE
not only favors but INSISTS on
it."
In other words, horrors! the New
Deal believes in the enforcement of
the 18th Amendment to the Con-
stitution. That is, of course, a
crime to the Tory Republicans and
to Mark Sullivan who has spent
most of his life finding arguments
to Justify" Acknowledgement of
the Negro.
Sullivan continues that the "New
Deal goes far" on Negro suffrage
meaning, of course, that it goes
too far for him. And to him here
is the pay-off:
"a New Deal suggestion for re
settling landless Southern farm
ers, white and colored, on land to
be bought by the government, in
cludes requirement that out of
the first proceeds received by the
assisted farmer from the sale of
this crop, he must pay his poll tax.
so that he can vote. If the New
Deal dominates the Democratic
Party then the Democratic Party
will be for unrestricted Negro suf-
frage in the South. Ben Davis

Poetic Thoughts
The Lawyer
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

The lawyer learned man is he,
Studies how he should best Free
Us from bondage for in every case
His counsel is needed in legal race
He straightens out all legal affairs,
Advice for domestic and financial cares,
Shows US how it can best be done,
So the case can be more easily won.
We must have faith in lawyers knowledge,
He's spent his time learning in college,
Now in practice he's ready to prove,
The way case should properly move.
Confde in him, hold nothing back
Which helps him get you on the right track,
For full details is essential about any case,
Help him succeed when the Judge you face
He wants money-sure he needs it too -.3-..-
We knew before, but what can you do
When in a fix, you first think of him
When out don't forget, for times are slim.
Christ was the best interpreter of Gods law
He said follow it and therell be no flaw,
In your span of life if you're consistent,
Keep close to Him and not be worldly distant
Christ is our lawyer before judgments bar,
Pleads our cause and taught us not to mar,
Our life in uselessness or else we'll pay,
Judgments toll which is exacted every day.

Public Auditorium Here
Favored by McCarran

Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada went on record yesterday in
support of public auditorium in
Washington. as provided for in the
bill reintroduced in the Senate Fri
day by Chairman Connally of the
Senate Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee.
The Nevadan said he originally
thought the auditorium could ap-
propriately become the memorial to
Thomas Jefferson. He added that
while that is now out of the ques-
ton, with the memorial already pro-
'vided for, he still believes the audi
torium need should be met, and
that it should be planned to meet
the requirements of a great Capital.
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas, also said yesterday suit
able auditorium here has been a
long-standing need.
The Connally bill was approved by
the Senate committee last year, but
was not acted on in the Senate and
House.

Mass Meeting Called
To Open New Drive
For D. {. Suffrage
Session Friday to
Be Open to Every One
Interested in BuIIot :.

Call for mass meeting to open
new campaign for District suf-
frage was issued yesterday by Wilbur
S. Finch, chairman of the Citizens
Conference on District Suffrage.
The meeting will be held at
pm. Friday at the National Press
Club auditorium All interested in
obtaining the ballot, self-govern-
ment and national representation
for Washington are urged to attend.
A forum on the question will be
conducted. Civic leaders will lead a
discussion of ITO what extent should
suffrage legislation now provide con-
troll of the municipal government
by the citizens of the District of
Columbian"
In a radio address yesterday Mr..
Finch pointed out:
THE moment for securing the
vote for the disfranchised citizens
here at the seat of government has
been gaining considerable momen-
tum during recent months
He cited the program adopted last
spring by delegates from nearly 800
citizens groups, with a total men,
bership of over 100000. The first
point in this program would obtain
for the District the right to elect
representatives in Congress and
power to vote for presidential
electors; the second would provide
a republican form of government
for the city, similar to the State
governments, and the third would
reorganize the District government,
with the citizens allowed to exercise
some degree of control over it. He
also recalled the referendum at
which almost 100000 citizens went
to the polls and voted overwhelm-
ingly for national and local suffrage
1T is both appropriate and time
ly," Mr.. Finch added, that the
Citizens Conference on District
Suffrage should make this question
the subject of public discussion"
Delegates from affiliated organiza-
tions to the conference are urged
particularly to be present, but the
general public also is invited.

85% Of D. {. Restaurants
Meet Health Standard

Health Officer George c. Rutland
reported yesterday that at the end
of 1888, more than IS per cent Of all
restaurants in Washington were
complying with Health Department
requirements for properly disin-
Ifected eating and drinking utensils,
and that the others are rapidly being
brought into line.
He said the addition of four food
inspectors and a junior clerk through
an increased appropriations for the
last calendar year for detail to in
spection of restaurants was the
greatest factor in our department
which affects the city from the
health point of view"
The restaurant proprietors have
become effectually awakened to their
responsibility in protecting the vel.
fare of their trade" he declared.
He said examinations conducted
by four psychologists showed that
eating utensils were not being
cleaned properly, and warned that
restaurateurs will be denied new
licenses If the bacterial count of the
utensils is found to be above 500.
During the year. DR.. Rutland re.
ported, total of 144,896 inspections
were made by the Bureau of Food

Police Fail 10 Find Mother
Ordered 10 Jail

The whereabouts of Mrs. EVELYN
Wilson Newman, 23-year-old Gov
ernment employe, .ordered jailed
unless she surrenders her baby
daughter to her estranged husband
remained a mystery last night.
Deputy marshals have sought the
young mother since Friday, when
Justice Jennings Bailey in District
Court ordered her arrest because she
had ignored previous court order
to turn over 19-month-o old Joan
Carol Newman to her father, Harry
Scott Newman, employe of the Lii
brary of Congress.
The United States marshals Office
expressed the belief Mrs. Newman
is out of the city and no effort is
being made to trace her beyond the
District boundaries as the offense is
not extraditable.
A suit filed by Mrs. Newman for
separate maintenance is pending
Jean Boardman, attorney for Mr.
Newman, yesterday explained that
custody of the baby was awarded
the father temporarily, pending
trial of the separate maintenance
suit, on his showing that the mother
refused to keep the child within
the courts jurisdiction. The at
torney quoted his client as saying
the mother kept the child with her
parents, who moved from town
to town"
ut was not a question of the
fathers wanting to take the child
away from the mother" Mr.. Board
man said. "He was willing for the
mother to keep the little girl in
washington, where he could see her
ana keep track of her. but Mrs.
Newman refused to do this and he
never even knew half the time where
his daughter was"

Business Tax

Ifkew p|anEai|s
$1.75 Realty Levy
Also Due to Be
Continued

Continuation for another year OF
the business privilege tax and the
$1.75 real estate levy appeared as a
possibility last night if Congress
rejects the Districts new tax raising
program.
A rising tide of opposition to
.both the sales tax and the in
come tax features in the new pro-
gram presages bitter fight over new
tax legislation-a battle that may
result in defeat Of the entire plan.
In such event, opponents of the
sales tax and income tax point out
that continuation of the business
privilege tax and the SITS real
estate levy. will produce s5,5O0,000 a
year in additional revenue-ar.
amount not only sufficient to balance
the 1910 budget, but a figure which
would allow a surplus at the end
of the coming fiscal year.
$3,300,000 Additional.
Since the new tax program Is
predicated on return of the former
S1.50 tax rate, SITS levy, it was
estimated, would raise s3,3OO,OOO in
additional revenue. The business
privilege tax, scheduled to expire at
the close of the present fiscal year
June 30, is yielding about $4,000
Estimates of the anticipated
budget deficit in the new fiscal year
range from $3,0000 900 to s4,OOC,OOO.
Even If the shortage should reach
100000, it was said, the SITS
real estate tax and the business
privilege tax would yield more reve-
nue. than necessary to support the
47,600, 900 budget for 1910.

Mrs. Doyle Opposes
Civil Service Bill
For Teachers
:.
Women's City Club Unit
Soys Injustice Would
Be Worked Under Plan

Voicing strong objection to "in-
cluding teachers in the pending civil
service bill for the District Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle. president of
the District Board of Education,
yesterday told members of the Civic
Committee of the Women's City
Club she believed such a step was
uncalled for and unnecessary.
Speaking on The How When
and Why of Public Education Mrs.
Doyle said that any plan to include
teachers in the District bill would
work an injustice on the present
program which she thought quite
adequate in system. and merit.
Teachers in District schools" she
explained, ARE selected by the Board
OF Education under board of
examiners consisting of teachers in
service who are assigned to that
duty without extra salary. Vacant
positions must always be filled with
the top-ranking name on the boards
list, whereas, under civil service,
choice of three selections is given"
She said she felt the present system
was more adapted to local needs.
Says Expansion Needed.
Explaining what she termed "the
boards long-range planning sys-
tenn Mrs. Doyle described routine
work now done in many depart
ments and outlined the needs for
future improvement in various
branches. She said greater expan-
sion is needed In vocational training
and home instruction and suggested
that home instruction teachers be
placed under the public education
system instead of w. P. A. projects
as is now the case.
In describing the scope of the
school system the speaker declared
that 10000 children were enrolled
IN District schools and taught by
5000 teachers, with overcrowded
conditions prevalent in many
buildings. She said that the $26 900
reduction in the budget appropria-
ton for this year was a handicap
to present expansion, causing gen.
eral Tightening Of pursestrings in
all departments.
Motion on Tax Plan.
The Civics Committee earlier
passed motion requesting that
club members indorse the tax plan
recently submitted to Congress by
d.. Chester Pond. Mrs. L. H.
Parkinson, member of DR.. Ponds
committee, spoke in advocacy of
the plan. which calls for a 2 per
cent sales-income tax, exemptine
food and medicine, on incomes in
excess of $4,000 annually and of
unearned income of over $500 an
nually.
