Retfnt'ds Hoover as One of the * lleSt K(|ui|>te<r~Me? in A: niericun Public Life ___ - ' .Louisville, Ky., Sept.8.-^Salvatton of the American Negr0 lies in a highly developed sense of justice and rests in the hands of men who consecrate themselves to observe and to uphold the- laws of the land, State Senator Adel.hert lj. Roberts told several thou. _ sand- Baptist preachers and laymen here Friday night when called upon ^Jo.address the.National BSfytist- Convention of which the Rev. I.acey Kirk Williams, Chicago, 1s president. T0 the accompaniment of fervent "aniens" Senator Roberts impressed three and one-half millions of Negroes that good government t0 the Negro must niean his own obedience tn the law of the land,, and his support to nniy these men in public office who rbolieve in strict enforcement of tKe 7" law." ' ' While the Senator did not mention the name of A1 Smith, Democratic candidate for president, he did' call attention to .Herbert Hoover, the Republican candidate, ?\s one of the best equipped' men in American public life, and one to whom everybody could look'as a Strict enforcer of the - law. - ; ? ? ^ "There are those in puldic life today who would tamper v^Lth the Constitution. and with other laws," he pointed out. "That is dangerous. It is inimical to the best interests of ull Americans, but it places the American Nejrwi in the greatest jeopardy. \\V c.'mnot stand for any fooling around with the laws, or changingof r: ' the Constitution. ;-y*5 "We are not courtinpr nullification in any form. We regard the law as rmr protection and we don't want to foci tlyit at any minute a wave of irresponsible public sentiment may .overwhelm our protection and leave lis - stranded. '"Herbert Hoover has not turned his * back upon' the "fMnstitattrm. He has recognized his sacred di^y Jg ax'snect the basic law of ouiM?ii&i,if?^(?$?*entirety and has pledged hinVgpIT to enlo'rco all t he^hyysM -etected tn oftlee. . _?'only kind of a man 'upon whom wo cjjn look for the salvation wo need."

Mrs. Lampkin, who has just returned from a tour of points in Pennsylyanm, Michigan and New York, reported great interest on the part of colored women in the success of Hoover and Curtis. "Due to the interest in the national campaign," Mrs. Lampkin said, "women of Buffalo, N. Y., and Elmi-. ra,. N.

Churchmen adopt - Resolutions and Elool OfTicciu The Gommittec no. Resolutions submitted the following report, which was discussed and adopted by the members assembled. . . .. Whereas, we, the laymen of the A. M, E. Church of South Carolina, now assembled in, the Laymen's Union, do .hereby first and-foremost renew and affirm our undying allegiancfiHo TiTI nm a ts nt ? t * * nit; Kie?v ?. i>i.j n. v^nurcn anu us | principles of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. We note with kindly appreciation the new law enacted by our last General Conference in giving the laymen equal representation in the General i uanterence, and increased representation in all annual conferences. We note tha tthe Bishop of fhe Doicese of " South Carolia is living among us and we promise to do all we can to help " him succeed for the cause of our Ziftn: -- And, whereas,, we note the appar-. ent progress of church, school and state* we note in the same instance that the members are heavily taxetb for^the upkeep of the church and school tG such an extent that the! ministers generally are v suffering.] 1 -?trergjore; be it melajd this bej looked into and remedied for the re- j . linf nf-tVio laity nq woll na tho^elererv. | And whereas, the General Confer-; has increased representation fifty-fifty in that body, we ask and urge i that our Trustee Board and al Boards' of our school be divided among the ^ j laymen fifty-fifty. We note the an-1 j tiquated custom of the clergy and j heads in our schpol, and a large part i of our faculty, are composed of min| isters, teaching and pastoring, which is contrary to the best progress *of , e school. . . Therefore, be it resolved, that plans be now made to eliminate this uncalled for and untimely custom, and we further suggest that where ministers or presiding elders are employed to teach in our schools they should, not hold districts or pastorates, asJthoy_ cannot do justice to both. Expressions-jwere freely given against presiding elders' high assessments for traveling expenses and house rent, while the poor ministers hardly have brgad-at home.
