Why Such Utter Lack of INTEREST,"

Approximately 1000 people failed to vote in the
primary election in this city Tuesday. This is an
appalling situation and indicates that the majority
of voters little interested in the election of can
didates for the November election.
Whether a person likes the primary system or
not, it is important election and deserves the
same consideration the regular election. Choos-
ing candidates to represent the various party groups
is great a privilege is offered by American
citizenship
The privilege of free ballot is the first attri-
butte Of liberty, and lack of interest is dangerous
threat to democracy which guarantees that privilege
as well others of great value. All can be lost
through failure to exercise the duties Of citizenship
We do not believe that the small interest shown
in Tuesdays election indicates lack of citizenship,
but rather is attitude of "let George do it, In
terest also at low ebb because there was no
county competition. Yet, excuse we may make
can cover up the fact that many failed to comply
with the duties of citizenship Tuesday.
Today, we fear relationships, yet lack Of interest
in selecting candidates, proper candidates to COM
pete for governmental positions in the November
election lack of interest in election for that
matter, can make it possible to happen here"
American citizenship demands certain duties, and
those duties for your protection and the main
tenance of guarantees acquired only by American
citizenshipfor that reason we should not lose in
terest in elections-the free mans way to govern
themselves.

Children as evacues-the writing

BY Elizabeth
The story of great beauty who
has lost her loneliness, this Is the
first novel in five years by the
author of the Enchanted April and
the Jasmine Farm. It Is written
with the humor and the tender
pathos which have made Eliza
beth's work so universally loved,
and it has a climax you will never
forget.
Lady Frances Skeffington real
lied with a start one day that she
was nearly fifty years old, and she
was to learn more gradually and
more cruelty that she was no long
err the great beauty she had once
been. The story Of how she caught
up with her past and found out
how 1t looked brought up to the
present, and Of how she filled the
emptiness left her by her lost beau
ty, makes as fine and as moving a
novel as Elizabeth has ever writ
en-.
Here Is a novel which every
woman will find enthralling, for its
picture Of the years to come, or the
years past; which every man will
read with profit and surprise, for
it's peerless portrait Of the femme
heart and mind.

or Lewis is a business man,
makes his living as such when
his life is normal. But when he
has to look after the city's bust
ness and can not look out for his
own, with no salary as the city's
mayor, it reminds me of the song
of the rag-time kind, this: "Oh,
It's Tight like That.
The city fathers might not be
extravagaat but wise to set a
salary for the mayor and let
him meet people and hear them
He should ride around the city

w. Va. State Needs
Both Numerous
And Most Urgent

To the governor, state super
mtendent of schools, members
of the West Virginia state legis-
lature, to the thousands of Negro
voters throughout the state, we
present the facts.
The newspapers Of West Vir-
ginla are announcing the various
candidates for public office. We
are reading every day that the
ms" are planning to do this
thing and the outs" are advocat
ing a change or an innovatio.
'arty platforms are being dis
cuSsed in the various caucauses.
and the party leaders are shap-
ing the policies to come as re-
suit of the on-coming election.
Few, if any, Negroes have any
voice in this shaping. Therefore
the Negro must accept a party
pledge as the only assurance
that he will get beneficial legis-
lation after the election
There are Il few facts we want
to present to the leaders of both
parties for consideration in the
shaping of their policies for this
election:
|. West Virginia State college,
supposedly one of the, leading
Negro institutions, has been
without decent gymnasium
since its inception in 1892.
2. All students are forced to
pay eight dollars athletic fee,
but the increased enrolment has
prevented many from getting
the full benefit of these fees.
This is due to the condition of
the gymnasium.
3. Even more important than
the sorry condition of the gym
nasium is the fact that many of
us are forced to sleep in build
ings which are described as fire
traps by many competant OBJ
servers.
d. Atkinson and McCorkle halls
are unsuited for modern dormi-
tory purposes.
5. The college has the largest
enrolment in the history of the
Institution. Because of this fact
students have been crowded 8
and a in Il room; yet each indivi
dual pays the same amount of
room rent that he would pay if
there were only two in room.
The Yellow Jacket feels that
The leaders of this state should
be told these facts. If this is the
type of thing they approve. -.
Their let them do nothing. If the
facts presented here interest
those who are out" then we
lsk that they place few of the
"humanitarian" issues in their
platform. We refer the same re-
marks to the officials in power.
The students Of West Virginia
state college, numbering almost
a thousand young men and wo-
} a thousand young men and wo-
men, are carrying on their fight
with the greatest weapon in the
uiverse-the ballot.
We believe that the thousands
Of Negro voters scattered thru
out West Virginia will appreciate
the facts as we have presented
them. The next move will be that
of the Gins" and "outs."
