iii these tragic days when the
lives Of nations and races are
being ruthlessly crushed out and
wren conferences are being held
between leaders Of cOnquering
nations for the purpose Of direct

significant that the greatest po-

iree5t nation iii the world, as
sembled i'll convention, should in
clude among those whose voices
are raised iii behalf Of human
freedom, justice and good gov
ernment, that Of its largest and

NEGRO DENIS CONFAB POORLY
ATTENDED; DRAFT negro PLANK


Mot enough persons were pres
ent to start a good FUSS" was the
way one observer described the
poorly attended daily sessions of
the National Colored Democratic
association which convened inthe
Eighth Regiment Armory in
Chicago last week, three days
prior to the National Democratic
convention.
The Negro Democratic organi-
cation headed by Recorder of
Deeds William Thompkins of
Washington, D. c., closed its ses-
sions in a mass meeting on Sun
day afternoon.
Farley Speaks at Mass Meet
Postmaster General James A.
Farley, chairman of the National
Democratic committee and Sena-
tor Alben w. Barley of Ken
lucky, majority leader of the
United States Senate were princi-
pal speakers at this meeting,
which was attended by approx
mately 1000.
An estimate CT delegates and
alternates actively participating
in convention proceedings which
got underway Friday afternoon,
July II, put the attendance fg-
ure for daily sessions at less than
100, however Roscoe Dunjee, ed
itor OF Oklahoma, delivered the
keynote address at the opening
session.
Convention ParadOxical
Significant was the fact that the
Negro faction, despite vociferouS
protests against discrimination in
all its forms, itself gave an an
parent stamp of approval to Jim
crow, by its complete withdraw
al TO separate quarters.
Given very little attention by
delegates at the Negro convention
was fragrant discrimination
against delegates of color to the
National convention, by white ho-
tells. All were conveniently con-
gregated in the so-called black
belt.
Many problems came in for dis
cussion by the association during
its three-day meet. The organi-

Their broke under question
ing Of Detective Eugene
Reid Of Stanton avenue po-
lice station Tesday, and ad-
mitted that the body of q
prematurely born infant,
born last Sunday, was the
result Of a criminal abor-
ton.
The young Woman's statement
incriminated DR.. Harold S. Partee,
6405 Vernon avenue, whom she
charged performed the illegal
operation. DR.. Partee was arrest
ed and is being held in custody
by Woodlawn police on a charge
preferred against him by Miss
Eleanor Hinton, 1892 Wentworth
avenue, on whom the operation
was allegedly performed.
Denies WOman's Charge
DR.. Partee, police stated, has
denied the charge.
The body Of the child, born
after four months pregnancy, it
was stated, was turned over to
Detective Reid Tuesday morning
by the young woman and her sis
ter, Miss Hattie Hinton, with
whom she lived. Detective Reid
was called to the Hinton home
Tuesday to investigate report
of premature birth due to oVSr-
work at that address.
A coroner's physicians exami-
nation disclosed, however, that

fore.

80 minutes, the young woman
stated. She said she wrapped its
body in newspapers and kept it in
the house until it became neces-
sary to dispose of it.
1t was then that she and her
sister decided to notify police.
Both insisted that premature
birth came after Miss Hinton had
done q great deal of strenuous
work. 1t was not until the coro-
ner's physician found the infant
had been dead for two days, did
the young mother confess that
the original story was false.
DR.. Partee was involved in an
abortion case in May of 1882,
when he was arrested on charge
of an 18-year-old girl, who
claimed she paid him SIS to per-
form an Illegal operation on her.

The case attracted commllnitv-
wide attention, but was finally
closed when Judge Francis B. AL

hearing in his chambers and the
introduction of new evidence.
At that time. it was stated, the

Over
Arizona
By ADYL REYOH

Do you have sunshine" mind?
Do you like to hear te good things
of life? Do you especially like to
hear the good points of your
fiends and those you do not think
of as friends? Maybe, those you
just don't like very much?
How about doubling the bad
things that you hear?
Yes, I know, none of us seldom
do, we just take all the bad things
we hear for granted. But nine
times out of ten great big doubt
that these bad things are true
would help us to find out that they
have been exaggerated out of ali
proportion, or are not even true
at all.
Let us keep our minds shedding
the bright light of trust and faith
in each other, keeping our minds
bright and unclouded and free from
the black clouds of hatred,
suspicion, doubt and criticism.
If God appeared to you one day
and asked of you: What do you
wish to make you happy?"-how
would you answer Him? Think
carefully before answering this
question to yourself. Are you sure
that you know?
Suppose God did make your wish
a true actuality and you had that
wish as definite fulfillment of
your life? Do you think you would
continue to be happy? 1t is hu-
man nature that before many
months had passed that you would
sure would make you happy and
be wishing and longing for some
other objective which you think
would MAKE YOU HAPPIER.
Here in Arizona we have so many
things to be happy for. Today, as
you read this, take time to be
honestly serious with yourself and
add up the column of your happi
ness items. Outstanding and first on
that list should be the fact that
you are living in Arizona with its
sunshine and its great outdoors,
it's legands and it's lore of great and
wonderful days of the past and
equally wonderful days of the
future Next on that list should
be the knowledge that your inmost
soul houses a deep patriotism for
the country in which you life, and
the blessed personal privileges
which the United States of America
gives to her citizens.
Make it part of your decision
for happiness which comes with
your self-charting of your blessings
that you will let not one day go
by without doing your share, small
or large, for the welfare of Arizona
and your United States of America.
Make it your daily pledge that
sunshine and morning sta,r, sunset
and evening star, the days sun
shine and the nights starlight will
point their rays on you for your
unfailing devotion to patriotism
and your determination to be one
of those who Doubt the Bad Things
YOU hear and look and listen for
the good and the best from life and
the people around you.
