1000 VOTE IN MIAMI, DEFY
KHAN

Miami, Fla, (CNA)-Militant Ne
gro citizens defied Ku Klux Klan
threats and cast record vote in city
primary election here "a hours after
the Khan had staged terroristic auto
parade in which twenty-five fiery
crosses were burned and placards were
displayed warning Negroes not to par
ticipate in the primary.
A huge truck carried the crosses, and
was followed by some IS cars of
| hooded white men. The Khan again
showed its true colors, by covering
the license plates of their cars, VIOLA
ton of the law, but no police were to
be found to arrest the law breakers
A dangling hangrnan's moose was
held conspicuously from one of the
cars.
The Klan's unsuccessful scare DEM
onstration was held on the eve of the
primary Cards, lettered in red, were
thrown from the car windows by the
hundreds, and read: respectable ne
gro citizens not voting tomorrow. Mig
gers stay away from the polls" 1t was
signed with one-inch letters, xxx"
The parade passed through the Negro
| section.
An effigy of Negro was hung from
a power pole just on the edge of the
Negro section. A large red-lettered
: sign pinned on the figure, read. "This
niger voted" On primary day the
same effigy appeared on a power pole
across the street from one of the poll
| ing places as large number of Negro
citizens exercised their right to vote.
Although the Khan has paraded
through the Negro section of the city
on every election eve for a number of
years, its activity was more violent
this year than ever before. The khan
directed its threats particularly against
the work of the Negro Citizens Service
League, an organization interested in
improving conditions of Miami's Ne
gro population.
The Service League was largely re-
sponsible for the registration of 1000
Negro citizens to vote in this election,
an unusually large number Although
some 10000 Negroes here are of voting
age only $50 to 200 have registered for
{ elections in the past.
= - If anything, the threats of the Klan
made Negroes more determined to
vote, and an accelerated vote was the
f result. During the first two hours of
: voting only about 8 per cent of the
white population voted, a normal fig
ure-during the same time about Is
percent of the colored voters already
had cast their ballot.

USE OF EPITHET STUNS
METHOD1STS

Kansas City, Mo.-Like a thunder
bolt in the middle of a calm, spring day,
an insulting remark from the secretary
of the Uniting conference last Thurs
day caused the first rift among the
delegates since the conference opened.
No sooner had Lud H. Estes of
Memphis, member of the M. E.
church, South, uttered the epithet,
~ than Negro delegate, the
Rev. Benjamin Franklin Smith of Chi.
cago, arose to his feet and demanded
an apology.
Estes apologized, but his words of
regret were not spoken loud enough
for all in the arena to hear, so Mrs.
Mary Mcleod Bethune rushed to the
platform and asked the chairman,
Bishop E. G. Richardson, to demand
an apology from the secretary. When
! the bishop informed Mrs. Bethune that
Mr.. Estes had apologized, Mrs. Be-
thune shook her head vigorously and
said, II did not hear him."
I Secretary Estes then went to the
microphone and in voice loud enough
for all to hear, said:
at was just an inadvertent slip of
the tongue. Coming from the deep
South as l do, perhaps I am prone to
use such words without realizing they
may give affront. | will say to the
conference: When there is marriage
and the first misunderstanding arises
what happens? We make up, of course
] say now, let's make up"
1t was the most tense moment oil
the entire conference when Estes used
the word which is universally recog.
nized as an Insult to the Negro race
AS soon as it was uttered, a pin could
have been heard fall on the floor Of
the vast arena, so stunned were the
delegates at the remark of the secre
tary.
Applause arose when the Chicago
delegate stated his objection and fol
lowing Estes apology the applause
was great. The entire conference wa!
of one accord in agreeing that Estes
should apologize. All the rest of the
day white delegates, mostly from the
south, were busy apologizing for Es-
, ties to Negro delegates they met in the
lobby.
Estes, formerly general conference
secretary and elected secretary of the
United conference at the opening ses,
sion, was asking that minor rule BIZ
observed. The rule was so insignifi
cant that the secretary started to bring
out its unimportance by telling a joke
GAS the old H. says" he began, 81
don't wish to seem to be persnickety
but"
He got no further. The Rev. Mr.
Smith was on his feet with his OBJ
lection. Delegate Smith, the ministe-
rial delegate from the Lexington con-
ference, has lived in Chicago for II
years.
"My blood boiled as soon as l heard
the word" he said last night, telling
of the instance. II couldn't sit still
another minute. just had to object
When he apologized, however, was
gentleman enough to accept it."
The Rev. Mr. Smith Is stopping at
the Paseo Y.M.C.A.
The delegates voted to strike the en-
tire incident from the records of the
conference.

Let all men everywhere remember
the holiness of womanhood Let us
ever honor and revere motherhood.

MOTHERHOOD

Extract from a sermon by
Walter Henry Thomas.-Phil. .1:21.
"And He delivered him to his moth
er." Luke us.
Oh, you young women of the 10th
Century, let me remind you of the
sacred dignity of motherhood.
To you is delivered the helpless
babe-upon you depends the perpetu-
alton ,of life.
The control, the quality, the destiny
of the race is largely, if not entirely. in
the hands of women. That is why it
is said, "The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world"
That is why Jesus Christ by His
incarnation has exalted womanhood
to so lofty place in creation. The
lofty place is for an exalted being and
carries with it great responsibility
The exalted being is woman and
the responsibility is motherhood.

well, those folks had better revamp
their thoughts.
Don't get the idea that the devil has
any corner on fun, or that our young

A Sorry Sunday

A Sorry Sunday
1t happened about two years ago,
my visitation to branch of the church
of which there are still few left.
This congregation was a remnant OF
that mixture of severe Puritanism and
stained glass window religion, with a
definition of Christianity that forbids
croquet on Sunday and sits in the par
lor with serious faces (almost sour)
in the effort to keep holy the sab
bath day" by doing nothing-just be-
ing gocd-for nothing.
Well this church (there are only
two in Minneapolis was that type.
They just wanted to be good-forget-
ting that if folks want to be good they
must do good.
The congregation looked as tho "be-
ing good" was a sad, dismal, melan-
choly, sorry business. They were sor-
ry when they sang the anthem, ooh.
Rejoice in the Lord!"
The whole choir seemed to be look
ing straight at me (there were between
six and seven), they wore sombre,
dark robes and l wondered why they
didn't trim up with Little Lord Faunt-
leroy collars to help them rejoice.
Now they seemed to spot me as a
lost one, for they looked at me with
an austere expression as a tiny little
smile was playing tag with itself
around the corners of my lips.
When they came to the chorus of
their dirge, my right hand shot up
and tagged the smile and l was "it, "
while the choir sat down in sorrow.
All the women in the congregation
were dressed in colorless garb, more
than Is were present. The men were
dressed in sorry black-faded to green.
Sorry severity was written al! over
their faces.
The minister was sorry-his sermon
was a sorry one.
When they took up the collection,
the minister's sorrow seemed to van-
ish-but not the congregations.
l had my hand on one nickel, but
the man with the collection box looked
so sorry that | gave him two nickels-
then I was sorry.
After service l asked, when does
your Sunday School begin?" and the
minister answered, sorrowing, Fright
away"
The children sang, There Is Sun
shine in My Soul Today" and l
hoped some of it might escape and
shine on the minister, but no such luck,

Dams
Chances Aided by
Senate's Action
Item Remains in Omnibus
Rivers Bill Until the
January Session

The $23, ZOO, 900 Umatilla dam pro-
ject will remain in the $4O7 100000
omnibus authorization bill for riv-
er and harbor improvements until
at least next January as a result Of
the senate commerce committees
action. which sidetracked the big
measure until the next session of
congress stated a dispatch from the
Associated Press yesterday.
The action, taken at the sugges-
ton Of Senator McNary when it be-
came apparent that Umatilla and
other costly projects would have to
be sacrificed if the committee were
to succeed in getting the bill thru,
congress this session, win have the
effect Of leaving the Columbia river
development in q preferred position
for consideration when congress re-
convenes next year.
Had it been stricken from the bill
as was suggested by Chairman
Bailey in proposal to eliminate all
river and harbor developments cost
ing more than 100000, McNary
said it would likely prove most diff
ficult to obtain authorization for the
project in a separate bill.
The house, he pointed out, already
had Expressed its disapproval Of the
project BY striking it from the rivers
and harbors bill before sending the
measure to the senate. AS it was.
he said, the project remained In the
measure when it was reported to the
senate for action early next year.
Should this occur, McNary was Of
the opinion the house would accept
the project as part OF the compro-
mise that would be worked out by a
conference committee named to adj
just differences between the two
houses.
