With Negro Judge
Talk Of New York

NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-Bank-
head, a name that ranks high in
old Alabama, where white suprem-
acy rules the roost, is being batted
back and forth around Harlem like
an old football. The name, Bank
head, preceded by Tallullah, is the
gossip-topic from the heppest cat
around the Apollo and Savoy to
Sugar Hills dowagers of social
amenities.
And all because this actress who
is more or less famous for her
idiosyncracies as we'll as what act
ing ability she may possess. is in
court charging that her maid has
been kiting checks.
That alone wouldn't be interest
ing but add the fact that the case
is being heard by Harlem's Negro
judge of Special Sessions, the Hon.
Harold Stevens. That helps but
the case is still small potatoes,
but when the maid charges that
the Alabama magnolia permitted
herself to revel in the luxury Of
purchased love, ears began to
prick up.
Those same ears fairly waegled
when the names Of Dicl<ie Wells,
well known Harlemite. and Sidney
Bechet, a recent bridegroom on
the Rivera, whose tenor say play
ing is out of this world--they say
-crept into the hearings, the stage
was set for even more scandalous

choosy about her company-fact is
she's so democratic she scares
hell out of her friends.

"mucho" publicity in the local

Under Republican Rule. the right to vote
was taken from the young men of the South
when they returned home from the Civil War.
Under Republican Rule, and under the
protection Of Republican boyonets. the cor
pet boggers piIIoeed the South.
Under Republican Rule from 1865 to
1912 with the exception of the two dis
continuous terms of Grover CIeveIond) the
South was not only treated with arrogant and
gross neglect, but was shuckIed by the Re-
publican Porty's control Of Congress. its
control of money and banking, and its enact
ment Of high toriffs and unjust freight rates
which impoverished the South ond prevented
its Reconsideration.
The Republicans in the United States
Senate. under the leadership of the late
Senator Henry Cobot Lodge Of Mossochu-
setts blocked Americas entry into the League
of Nations ond thus not only broke the heart
of its author, our beloved Woodrow Wilson,
but destroyed on instrument which many feel
would have prevented World War II.
Under Republican Rule, the scandals Of
the Harding Administration we're the most
colossal that our Country has ever known.
Under Republican Rule, and over the
protest of the Leading American economists,
the Hoover Administration passed the Smoot-
HowIey tariff, raising the toriff rates to an
olI-time high. This tariff dried up world trade
and wos the turning point in bringing on the
worldwide depression of the 1905.
Since the Democratic Administration
was voted in in 1888, the Republicans have
strongly opposed most Of the legislation that
hos been passed for the betterment Of the
people and the development Of our country.
They have also opposed the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements of Secretary of State Hull of
Tennessee. which hove helped so much in
lowering the torff and providing markets d.
broad for our cotton. True to their policy Of
discrimination against the South. they bitter
Iy fought our winning fight for an equalization
Of freight rates. which hos done so much to
bring US industrial progress. &o.
Truly by their fruits ye shoII know
Them"
On the other hond, due largely to q DEM
ocrotic Administration with our own Senators

progress thut it no longer looks like the same
