r, This fine old country of ours after ni
climbing to heights unreached by any cr
other -in the world?after showing, in
"" such splendid political sense since to
1776-?up and made a head forem&t
dive and landed almost wholy into. P1
the Democratic Fold, never in "the~His-7^
tory of this or any other Republic t?
have so many states^and people of th
.. $h,ose states lost control 1 of their good m
(?ommqn reason and threw a fit that to
caused such a sweeping "change of 'a
Goyernment. And after the bucket ca
Has been kicked completely over and 01
almost every .drop of that good old vc
rich Republican milk which has to its ^
^-credit the healthiest and most pro- 'n
gressive sets of kids?"on earth?been
spilled. * - ' ? * )h^
" " The old cow is looking with a flown. _v,_
cast eye upon the millions of ungrate
. tful milkers for say what you may
the years, from 1860 down to tpday ?
ii\ which'the Republicans haTTcoritrol ln
make up the brightest and best years
in the hstory of this country. But ^
human nature is strance and it dons '
not change education or nothing else
can. change it.?It seems to be tunTof t a
nations as .welLas-of individuals. They
..soon forget,^specially the ^>od. Take !'
the past 50 years view them with an "!
unbiased "mimj. Take thfi l^roiflrt of ^
the two parties, spra'ad them side- by
side upon the table, weigh" carefully
the good and. bad in each check the ^
thingfs that stand out prominently in (j.
the, making^ of this country what it
is, credit each with its just share and
thep scratch your head and- see if
you can .figure any sane reason'why
? they Country should turn against its ^
, old true and tired friend. To "one
fhat has done so very little for it. It
is true the Countryjs in aJHell of a .
fix right now. "No work much a t
home.,. Most of the large industries'?
lare idle and t0 add pain to misery, ^
, the billions owed by our friends over
sea to our Country are not being payed?not
even the interest. If our
country could collect just the inter.
' est due, that item alone would^go a
long Wfl l S LllH ailK hsillmw>?(nrr
budget: But wait a bit, under, vvhosu ^
administration' was those billions
loaned? Who drew [up the terms W
by which they must be paid back?
And its going to take a long, long '
time, if that money is not paid back,
for this dear old Country of ours is .
to stand steady?and -step?furward. ~
'Billions can't be replaced at will. The ^
folk seem to forget the crowd that g
loaned it and jumped on the crowd
that was not able to collect it. So
it is, but let us pass that part'of the
picture up. We note that the N. A.
C. P. is delighted that, as it claims,
the colored voters of- t/hjs country
helped in no uncertain*!way in .oui
throwing1 the Republicans. God "for- p
bid that their way of seeing it he true.,
If the colored voters were bribed and ,
brought to the .extent that a majority "
orf*tft\erni turned against the Party that
has done all that has been done in a
National way, for them, for the Party
that has fought every bill and
. move presented in any Congress since
1777 that had for its aim tfhe rights
I "
of citizenship. 1 beg the- N. A. A. 0|
? ' C. Pf tp cite me to ofie single vote
, taken in Congress up to the adjourn- ,j
ment of the last session, 1932.. Where .]
the majority of the Democrats in both r
hpuses failed to vote against it. When
that bill" had in it a little something |
that was in favor of the colored man
of America from the appropriation
to Howard University up or down' 0
any way they go looking for H. I e
ask them to cite me just one instance n
where a colored person got an ap- ?
pointfnent of - sufficient, importance n
that fye or she Vted to be confirmed
by the Senate and the majority of
v . that body were Democrats. But what ](
the appointment was kicked into the q
trash hlasket by their votes. The N. j
?*! , A. A. C. P. says if is going to iyatdft c
and see how this in coming Democra
tie Administration is going to treat c
the--'colored man. I see no need of ^
it, wasting good time in watching for s,
.tWat during the four years it may be
on the throne. Any fool can sifcut 1<
his eyes and stop dys ears and know ^
v/hat the colored brother twill get $
from Washington after iMareh 4ih, ?
1932, till March 4th, 1936. , y
Wo can't believe tHat t#ip head of S(
the N. A. A. C. P. is such a "Dummy" y
that he dotrs*rtot understand that the y
ever-abiding Demtoo ratio?Party.?Tho
sure enough and certain element of n
tHat Party is composed of *>ur Dear y
Old Dixie. Now tiho N. A. A. C. P. p
may -be able to stick its fingers in y
the eyes of some of the colored voters w
and lead them blind folded into the t,
Northern of Western wing of the Do- jy
?' mdcratic Party under the pretense p
there is a difference. But there I p
.. is-not. fhe East and West will a
1 m I i .1
e politically but they have absolutenothing
to do with the manageent
of their own Party. The Demoatic
Party ia in dhe hands of those
the South that refuse absolutely
con?<Ted that any colored in-a n
ould even vote. This is clearly
oven, by the rules they adopt i 11
ehr Primaries and tare ready even
the extent of fighting it out in all
e Courts. The attitude and detorination
of the Southern Democrat is
day what it was four years ago,
st June. When they built 'a wire
ge to shut off thq few alleinate coled
delegates that attended the condition
down at Houston^ Texas and
the last National Convention hftld
June 1932 hiad been held below the
ason and Dixon Line just any place
low it, the samp wire cage idea
auld have been put into effort and
e dear friendly white delegates
0111 up East and out West .would
ive attuned ami not mutered*a word
"protest. Not" even'* Mr. AID Smith
Mr. Roosevelt who were'the eonol.ers
of that time, said one work tovrd
telling the Great and Grand
ilored Democratic brother out of the
ge, yet the N. A. A. C. P. has tfn<
^Den,-audasity?to state that at-the
st election the Negro exercised his
ght as a citfzen to vote for those
Iio promised to safe-guard his right
id that UiM UHHOl'tailOH did fldVl&t
em how to vote. Well under pre:
nt conditions, which the large part
the race must live and those contions
growing worse politically.
If the N, A. A. C. P. advised any
oup of colored people to vote^againthe
Old Party , and t'h^it group inuence
by said advice did |o vote,
hen all we can say is, that political
oney moves in a mistonous way

THE PALMETTO I
?- -1 i _ TWO
METHODIST
J. - CONF^ENiES
Methodism had a high day in Union
two conferences of two great methodist
churches have just closed. The
PalmeUo conference of the A. M. E.
! Zion Church presided over by the
Honorable Bishop E. W. D. Jo neb and
the Columbia conference presided,
over by the Honorable Bishop N*. W.
Williams. The entertaining churches
were Clinton A-M.E.Z. whose pUstor
is the erudite Rev. L>. E.^Thompson
and.. Bethel A. M. E. church' whose
I pastor is the indefatigable- Rev. L.
I G. Bowman. The writer of these
notes is a member' of neither one of
, the above mentioned churches. Howeve
fwetook^advantage^j)f_thc_JijglE
privilege of attending several sessions
of each both day and night. We
desire therefore to make the follow|
ing comments. We speak not from
any denominational loyaltyT h o r
1 church bias. Wc. attended as an interested
lisCeff^vand scruptdou'^.ob
server. We were not interested particularly
in those detail matter that
* have meaning primarily for those
identified with the denominations. We
looked and listened for those things"'
that were, consequential irrespective
off denominational affiliations. In
" tlllj? Unpt1 UFN! (LVlltit'taiion we were
not entirely disappointed.
On the first night of the Palmetto
Conference (night of elections.) Pishop
Jones took occasion to remind all
present that the Negro must not?
attempt to divorce his religion and
politics, lie repeatedly emphasized
. the necessity of the Negro becdhftng
I increasingly politically-min led in a
country ruled by politics. He ^nust
f el concerned about who is 'selected
all through tHe conference at the
Opportune time .similar notes of religious
practicality wqre sounded by
. the bishop. Ajfter representatives
a frofii the. Agricultural Extension De.
partment of .State College had spok3en
relative to the^economic. development
of rural life, the bishgp took
r niTusion tn. emphnsiy.r ?hv'vtrir=

>, conomics. The success of the rural
t^e rehabilitation of rural life. It
cannot be too strongly emphasized
that we* cannot JLIVE ON EARTH
AND BOARD IN HEAVEN. Chris':"
j_ lian ideals cannot be realized in a
: world where economic idyals subversive
to those ideals continue to exist.
, We are thankful to the Palmetto
. conference and to Bishop Jones, for
sounding this not of practicality in
: the SOCIAL GOSPEL FOR A NEW
AGE;
One'of the "most encouraging
: scenes of the Columbia conference
was the number of apparently young
ministers in?attendanne'e. This fact
^ did not nass without favorable- Vom,
uent by presiding Bishop Williams.
Whether the ciders like it or not the
i church of tomorrow will be t h. c
church in which the young will occupy
prominent places in both pew and
pulpit. The high note that seemed
, to have been sounded, by Bishop Wil
liams?was trained?leadership.?Thin
deduction is reachtid'hot only because
of what was said but also because of
i the preference he gave ministerial
students attending Allen University.
Several times (luring the conference"
) nis suggestions and appointments
were prefaced by the question, "Are
you a student?" In ease of an af)
firmative answer the favorable ap.
^ointment was made with an en.
;-ourageing warmth of .expression
r which seemingly grow out of a deep
> and abiding longing to help. Another
. /refreshing incident which perhaps
escaped general notice occured dur.t
ing the reports of the several pasr
tors. One "gentleman of_the cloth"
) failed to rep'ort funds collected. A
. certain presiding elder in attempting
to explain this default ot the brother
. said, "Well Bishop that's one. who
> canie to us from another denomina*
; tion." The bishop stoutly and preemptorily
resented this uncomplimentary
aljiision by saying, "We
have some BORN in our denomina-.
[ tion who do worse than that." Aniens
^followed this statement. \Ve thank
the bishop fgr this'high ground. He
- seems to tower above the quagmire
of denominational narrowness . and
ereedal bigotry. Dereloction of duty
is not chargeable to denominational
- affiliation.?ALL?GOOD PEOPLE

' The election is over an<l the Republican
Party was badly defeated,
rho main cause of this defeat can be
diddled upon two things- -the. depression
and the repeal of 'lie 18th
amendment. If yo^. notice, that has
I -mi the tendency everywhere this
year to vote oyt the ins and''put in
the outs. That holds good in out;
state and county elections. Everybody
and everything feels^the effect
of the depression, and it is an olisy
matter to lay 'he blame on 'he man
in -office. Therefore, there -has been
a great effort to put in hew men. I
do not agree with those who .claim';
that Mr, Hoover's adm'nistr'a'ion is-,
p failure. I regard him as one o?
our greatest presidents, and he proved*
his greatness wh'eh he*invited Mr.
Roosevelt to come and consult with
him upon tbe European Debt. Few
