For having watched your acts as a great Christian statesman, we believe that when elected you will he the president of all the people of our great country'. The platform adopted by your party and your speech of acceptance appeal to us, as we believe they do, to an overwhelm ing majority of the American people, as worthy of the hearty support of all patriotic Americans. "The people we represent are, and ever have been, one hundred per cent Americans, and have proven it from the days of Crispus Attucks in Boston to the time when the news of the Ar mistice was sounded by the bugle in Argonne Forrest barely two short years ago. We believe that it was your good nature and high sense of justice which prompted you in your speech of acceptance to acknowledge the valdr of the four hundred thou sand black boys who so cheerfully put their uecks under the yoke of Ameri can patriotism, to secure for all peo ple universal democracy. These bruve black boys expect as a reward: the security, protection and all the un qualified rights of American citizens as provided In the laws of our coun try. This much they have a right to expect and will not be satisfied with less, for the republic must be strong enough to enforce its laws if it is to survive.” Every session of the convention was freighted with interest. Senator Wat son delivered an address of welcome as did Governor James P. Goodrich. It was decided to erect a publishing house iu Nashville, and plans were laid to raise money for that purpose. Three men were named as members of the National Baptist Publishing Board, of which Dr. R. H. Boyd is secretary, the court having decided that the convention had an equity in the plant. The convention accepted the invia tation from Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago to hold its next annual ses sion in Chicago. WOULD PREVENT INTERMAR RIAGE OF REDS AND BLACKS Governor Hobby to Be Asked to Pre sent Bill to Texas Legislature For bidding Intermarriage of Black and Red Races. Wealth of Osage Indian Lands Underlying Motive. (By Associated Negro Press.) Fort worth, rex., sept, ie.—in an effort to save the Indian race from further intermingling of Negro blood, C. B. Trailer of Hominy, Okla., son of the chief of the Osage tribe, will ask Governor Hobby to present to the next Texas legislature a bill preventing the intermarriage of In dians and Negroes. Through his efforts Oklahoma al ready, has such a law and a similar law was recently passed in Louisiana. He believes that it is imperative that Texas enact the same legislation. The Osage tribe is the wealthiest in the United States and one of the most advanced. Its lands are rich with oil and its per capita wealth in the hands of the government mounts into the millions of dollars. The Indian leader declares that the time has come for the Indian to take his chance with the other citizens of the republic. He declares that the aborigine has been an unwilling ward of an unwilling government for many years and that it is now time for him to look after himself. “No aboriginal race has shown finer native qualities than the American In dian in this state who is fre from In dian blood,” Trailer declared. “If we can get laws passed in each state pro hibiting his intermarriage with the Negro race and lend a helping hand for a while to stimulate him in his development, he will contribute useful and important elements to the future citizenship of our lands. “At the same time that we are en couraging the immigration of foreign ers and their assimilation by our peo ple we should not neglect a like treat ment of the Indians, who have far more promising qualities than many of the foreigners who seek our shores.” BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION’S RECORD (By Associated Negro Press.)

The young man looked fagged out as he came down the road and turned into Farmer Worth's yard to get a drink of water at the pump. “You think you won’t stop!” a voice startled him, and he arose to his feet, neither wishing to play intruder nor eavesdropper. “Not I,” came the prompt response. "I won’t say that your offer isn’t lib eral, for a farmer, hut they’re paying a dollar an hour for earpenters and I've quite a knack that way.” Wayne Delmore had moved on and started for the road. A young man carrying a worn satchel came down the porch steps and swung through the gate. Their paths crossed. Del more halted. “I wasn’t trying to listen,” he said, “hut It sounded as If you were turn ing down a Job.” “Yes,” acceded the other promptly, •looking for one?” “I’ve got to, I guess," answered Del more In a dull, weary tone. “Any use of a man wTho never handled a plow applying?” “Abel Worth don’t want a plow hand.” came the reply. “It’s a sort of superintendent or overseer he's after. Orlppley, you know, and can’t get around any too good. Are you quick at figures, and can you boss a gnng of six?” “I did some work of thnt kind over the state line,” said Delmore. “Well, It won’t hurt to try your luck. “I want a man who can watch the odd ends and keep the hands straight,” advised Ahel Worth. “Since my daughter went to work in the town T haven't anybody to keep track of things as she used to. You’ll have to be manager, timekeeper and cashier. References? Security? You see, I must know that I am trusting an hon est man, although you look that on sight." “I am too honest and trustful. I’ve begun to think,” replied Delmore, with a wan smile. "I have a letter from my last employer. Security, yes, If you'll consider sixty-eight acres jnst over the ridge, as that.” “Oh, you own some land hereabouts, then?" Inquired Worth In manifest surprise. “Yes, about a half quarter section. That’s my trouble. I wanted to get a little farm and I traded a honse and lot for the sixty-eight acres. The sell er was a land shark. I’ve jnst looked it over. It’s all sand and even a weed won’t grow on It.” “Ah, I understand now. Yours are the third hands through which that triangular piece has passed In the last five years. So they hoecussed yon? Too had! Well, I’ll be glad to give yon a show. Got any traps with you?” “At the depot—my trunk.” “We'll get that later. I will pay yon $55.” and Worth went Into detail, then called his wife, explained mat ters, and Delmore found himself ap portioned a neat bedroom, and waa made aware of the nature of the work expected of him. “You can hitch up the sorrel about four o’clock. If you will, and go and get your trunk,” Instructed Mr. Worth. At. just six stop at Front street block In the town—anybody can direct you there—-and call for m.v daughter In the office of Bird & Black, lawyers. She works there. Bring her home.” Six o’clock began a new and de lightful chapter In the life of Wayne Delmore. A bright, pleasant, intelli gent girl of eighteen. Ruth Worth was beautiful as well. She chatted with Delmore all the way to the farm. At the supper table she, as well a* her fa ther and mother, seemed glad to make the stranger feel at home. Within a few weeks Delmore was domesticated and a new man In feel ings and character. He had thrown the sand land to the discard. “I’m so sick of it,” he told Ruth one evening, “that I never want to think about it again. A man was around yesterday asking Its price. I wouldn't talk to him. Recnnse some one cheat ed me, I’m not going to play the swin dler In turn." Delmore at the end of the season was an expert in his new position. He was only too willing to continue In the same. Ruth had become the light of his life and he had won the sincere liking of every one about the farm. He was sent for In the field one day by Mr. Worth, who somewhat astonished him with the information that Ruth had telephoned from the law office to have him call her up. Del more was equally amazed when the words came over the wire: “If anybody comes to buy your sand property refuse to deal until I see you.” It was in a great transport of ex citement thnt Ruth Joined him In the farm buggy at six o’clock. She had quite a story to tell. A client of the firm had been having the sand of the (50 acres analyzed, as had several other concerns. It seemed that the sub stance wns known as crystallized snnd, found, after experiments, to he especially adaptable for the making of fine porcelain. “You will receive all kinds of of fers," explained Ruth, “but you will do best to deal with our client." When Wayne Delmore had received a goodly sum for his property, he won dered If an ofTer of love would meet the approval of Ruth. He tried the experiment with hope, and greeted Its acceptance with the Joy of a true and loyal heart. $|00 DOWN is all that is needed to bring one of these beautiful Columbia Grafonolas Into Your Home > ACT AT ONCE You do not need to wait longer.
