SELLING HOOVER BIG JOB
The Democrats are making much of the increased
registration of their party, especially in San Francisco,
h;. i: almost reached the hundred thousand mark, and
still going good. Of course this trend toward the Bour
bons is m to the G. 0. P. leaders, who
know that they have a large-sizeed job, to sell Hoover
this year.
The small business man who finds it exceedingly
hard sledging to keep going, lays it on Hoover; the mail
out of a j s it is Hoover’s fault, the fellow who calls
loudly for beer and light wine, to quench his thirst, has
got it in for Hoover. So all the way down the line of
human w oe." all are going to test the ingenuity of the
spell-binders to convince these elements of doubt and dis
trust who have voted the Republican ticket for years, be
cause they believed that prosperity was contingent upon
the continuance of the Republicans in power; but seeing
the magic of their slogans fail in the face of world-wide
depression, they have no patience with a condition that
faiis to yield to the methods of statesmen and economists.
REGULAR OR IRREGULAR
Senator Borah wiho has so much regard for the
18th amendment, and such little respect for the 14th and
15th, has declared that he won’t support the ticket, and
as the democratic platform is dripping wet he finds him
self without a party unless he goes into the third party;
but this Senator is like most of the insurgents, he remains
regular to get his share of committee assignments.
QUALITY AND NOT QUANTITY?
The kevote sermon of Grand Chaplain Gregg, last
Sunday to the Masons, was an inspiring and wholesome
epositior. of modem tendencies of our fraternities. Those
who listem-d to his denunciations and admonitions could
not but recognize the inconsistencies and pretensions of
our fraternal leaders that he so cleverly uncovered. If our
organizations are to survive, more attention must be paid
to the quality of applicants, and less to quantity. We have
too many persons with ritualistic memories, without
other essentials.
BLAME RESTS ON ADULTS
Education of motorists in traffic safety is still in
the little red school house stage of development, in the
opinion of Harold G. Hoffman, Motor Vehicle Commis
sioner of New Jersey, who believes that adults are largely
responsible for the slow progressof safety training.
Although good work has been done in installing
safety codes in the young, Commissioner Hoffman com
ment.-. "Our efforts in teaching safety to children cannot
come to full fruition until we have been successful in
bringing to the adult motorists a full sense of responsi
bility to his own children and others. We must engender,
too, a general and wholesome respect for the motor laws
designed to promote safety on the highways, and insists
upon their equitable enforcement.,
Commi'-ioner Hoffman also points out that while
Huger children have demonstrated an aptitude to as
similate safe practices, the elder ones, now in high school
and college have not shown the same tendency.
Statistics show that these youngsters are notor
iousiy unsafe drivers, and for the tragic accident record
of youth, I am convinced that our high schools and colleg
es must accept a large share of responsibility. The
schools prepare these boys and girls for various activities
of life; out when it comes to an activity that we are sure
most of them will take up, that of driving a car, they do
comparatively little.
Education in the traffic field is universal in its ap
plication. Too often e tempted to confine consider
ation of it to children, and even t othe motor vehicle own
er and operator, forgetting that the automobile manufact
urer, the motor vehicle administrator, the highway engin
eer, the legislator, and even the comer traffic cop always
must go on acquiring new and more useful knowledge. *
IN DEFEENSE OF WOMEN—
by Fajy M. Jackson. ffi ffi
Negro journals thru-out the land are reporting with
conspicuous display the victory of Mrs. Mary C. Booze,
national committeewoman from Mississippi, in a nation
wide protest against the confirmation of B. B. Montgom
ery as U. S. Marshall because of sladerous remarks he is
alleged to have made about colored women.
Making a personal appeal to various organizations
newspapers, and leaders in civic and political circles, Mrs.
Booze also solicited the aid of certain members of the
United States Senate and placed the issue squarely before
them. In practically every state in the Union citizens
were asked to urge their senators to oppose Montgom
ery’s nomination. The response of various members of
the senate and the ultimate blocking of the confirmation
indicate that more and more the Negro is becoming alert
to the power of his ballot.
It was left to California’s senator, Samuel M.
Shortridge, to lead the fight and in order that we may
appreciate the efforts of our statesman to ujtfiold the high
ideals of our race and nation, the Recorder is presenting
a letter from Mrs. Booze to one of our local women who
joined in the protest. The letter follows:
Mrs. Betty Hill,
Woman’s Republican Study Club
1800 South San Pedro,
Los Angeles, California.
I am writing to thank you and the members of
your club who so promntly brought to the rescue of Ne
gro women of the nation valuable services of Senator
Samuel M. Shortridge in opposing the confirmation by
the United States Senate, the appointment of B. B. Mont
gomery of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and finally terminat
ed by the President’s withdrawal of his name' I
If this man, Montgomery, had been confirmed by
the Senate, it would have served as a license to him and
others like him, to have continued their slurring remarks
about our women. Of course he denied the charges like
all of them do when they are confronted with opposition,
but the proof was so positive, and Senator Shortridge’s
prosecution of the charges so definite there was nothing
else the President could do but withdraw the appoint
ment.
It is so seldom that a United States Senator from
another state will oppose the confirmation of an appoint
ment by the President when the Senators ffom the state
in which the appointment is made urges the confirmation,
you can realize just what Senator Shortridge was up a
gainst and had to overcome.
I sincerely hope that the members of our race in
California, regardless of faction or party fealty will rally
to the support of Senator Shortridge in the approaching
campaign. It wrould be nothing short of a tragedy and
great neglect on our part if he should be defeated If
you can think of any other way I can help to bring about
his overwhelming return to the Senate, please let me
know. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I have just writ
ten the Senator.
Faithfully yours,
MARY C. BOOZE.
Senator Shortridge’s action speaks for itself. It
can scarcely be said that it was a political gesture to se
cure the favor of colored voters in his own state; far too
much opposition will be heaped upon him by members of
his own party and especially the southern element in Con
gress which resents arty breaking down of their prejudic
es. It is, on the other hand, quite evident that he simply
had the manhood to speak out with all the power of his
office against this dastardly insult to American woman
hood and if, incidentally, he is rewarded with apprecia
tion by the people who are directly benefited by his cour
ageous stand, political gesture or no political gesture, he
isdeserving of their vote.
i OUR POLICY BUGS GONE MAD i
We have often heard of horses returning to a burn-^
ing stable only to be consumed by the raging flames, but
it’s beyond our ability to understand just what the inocu
lation is that causes so many of our silly minded women,
and men, to tramp up and down the streets and in and out
of deserted dives where not many days ago they- were
openly playing the numbers, trying their best to overtake
the writers that the “law” have so effectively driven to
cover. In all seriousness it is pathetic to watch these
dreamland goofs drifting around almost in a state of
como, with their hopes almost at the breaking point, try
ing as best they can to find somebody, anybody, who will
i j take their nickels and dimes and quarters, and sometimes
i dollars, in exchange for a wee piece of paper with a few
numbers on it. The habit has become an obsession. They
■ are living hopes but are gradually dying in despair and
■ we sometimes hope that a few of ’em would die as an ex
I ample toothers. In the meantime let us epress a word of
appreciation for the noble work our city government is
- doing in ridding the citv of such a vicious crime.
!
The sooner the Negro gets it into his three-plv
• skull that it’s only by hard work and perseverance that he
; can exist in this nerve racking civilization to any degree
i of success, the sooner he will cease taking so much delight
i in sitting around hours at a time doing absolutely noth
ing. Idleness is a disease self imposed and no 'man is
■ entitled to any respect who does not seek to earn his own
■ bread.

POINT of LAW
Parent and Child
' ,rv
The most universal private relatior
is that of parent and child. Childrer
are of two sorts, namely, legitimate
and spurious or illegitimate. The
j former is he that is born in lawful
wedlock or a competent time after,
wards. In England the rule is nar.
1 rowed, because the marriage must be
, celebrated before the birth of the
child. With us a child is legitimate
if born in wedlock or within ten
months after the dissolution of the
1 marriage. This is a presumption of
law that can be only disputed by the
! parents or the descendants of them,
Of course if the laws of nature make
, it possible that the husband is the
’ father the presumption is conclusive.
The reason for the English rule
that in order for a child to be legit.
• innate it must be born in wedlock wa«
to fix the protection, maintenance
and education of the child. This con
strued as being better answered by
legitimating all children born after
wedlock. The great uncertainty ir.
the proof that the child was really
begotten by the same .man would
create a great dicouragement to the
matrimonial state. One main induce
i ment to marriage was not only the
desire to have children, but also the
desire of procreating lawful heirs.
In this state, like the rule of the
Roman law, a child born before wed
lock becomes legitimate by the sub
sequent marriage of its parents. Even
though the child hay have reached
the age of majority before the mar.
| riage of its parents the results of leg
! itimation takes place.
The parent must give the child
support and education suitable to his
circumstances and the child must give
the parents his services and earnings.
In cases of illegitimate children the
| mother is entitled to the child’s ser
vices and earnings. The obligation of
the parents extend to illegitimate
children but the parentage of the
child must first be established.
LYYNCHING ON T|E WANE
It is encouraging to note that at I
least there is evidence to support the
contention that the lynching evil in
America can be corrected.
According to the records compiled
at Tuskegee Institute and research,
there were 5 lynchings in the first six j
months of 1932. This number is the [
I. .
same as the number for the first *,ix
months of 1931. In 1922 ten years
ago. there were 30 persons lynched
in the first six months of the yt.ir.
During the first six months of
1932, there were 13 cases of preven
tion of lynching by officers of the
law. Of these, £ were Northern and
Western states and 11 in Southern
states. In 9 of the instances the
prisoners were removed or the guards
augmented; in the other 4 instances
force was used to repel the would-be
lynchers; thus a total of 18 persons,
five whites and 13 Negroes, were
saved from death at the hands of
mobs.
Of the persons lynched, 2 were
white and 3 were Negroes. The of
fenses charged were attempted rape,
1; murder, 1; threatening men, 1;
dynamiting a store, 1.
The states in which lynching* oc
curred and the number in each state
are as follows:
Florida, 1; Kansas. 1; Kentucky, 1;
Ohio, 1; Texas, 1.

EDUCATORS ARE NOT MADE
IN A DAY
by R. A. ADAMS
(The Literary Service Bureau)
1 One of the most serious and de
terrent weaknesses of Negro edueu
tional institutions is the kaleidoscope |
| changes in their faculties. These are
due to politics—racial politics in se
cular schools and church politics in
the religious ones.
In the chuerh schools these fluc
tuations come with changes in eccles
iastic supervisors, "because so man;,
Negro bishops and ministers are gi\.
en to placing their friends and even
members of their own families in
these teaching positions, even when
such persons are manifestly incotn. i
petent.
The secular schools are usually al
lied to the state government, affoid
ing ample scope for politics,’ and. in
them, the “outs” are eternally aftei
the “ins”, to get their places; and
this causes the frequent upheavals.
Experience counts much in any
work, and it is especially jndispens- j
able in educational work, and only
long tenure and extensive experience j
can fully qualify one as an educator, i
Th» rapid chat gi: ar.J t.,c u:i of
raw, inexperienced instructors have
always militated against efficiency
in Negro sc.kmIs and hi*v ei ... them in
the effort to secure proper rating and
reciprocal recognition. The elimin
ation of selfishness and rank favor,
itism and the substitution of strict
business methods will greatly improve
the standing and the efficiency of
these schools.
HABITS

(The Literary Service Bureau)
•BUTTIN IN"
This is slang parlance, but it fits
in here, and the hope is that many
guilty persons may read and reform.
Two men were talking and without
invitation or provocation, another
proceeded to inject his opinion con
oeraing the matter of their conversa
tion. A woman was talking on the
phone, when a woman listener ex
claimed, “That ought to be me; I’d
tell her where to get off at.” She
added, “Why don’t you cuss her out ?”
A boy and a girl were sitting together
engager! in a serious conversation
when another girl dropped down on
^he seat near them saying, “You
uns will have to stop your spoonin
for a while, ‘cause I’m here, now.”
As a general thing people are 100
polite to ask “How did you get into
the Jconversation?” Few would be
apt to quote, “Two’s company and
three’s a crowd,” but, if these “but
inSkis” could read thoughts they
would become very uncomfortable.
