Moton, with the mem– bers of the comission on education in Haiti, in conference with President Hover. Though it could not be learned just what was reported, the final com- !Pilation was promised within two weeks. Meanwhile all •Washington comments upon the fact that men like Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. ]::m– mett J. Scott, Robert R. Church, and others, who helped loyally to make President Hoover's candidacy a suc– cess not only have no voice that the President wishes to hear concerning the condition of the colored people in this country, but are consulted only after appointments have been deter– mined upon for the few posts that have come to Negroes at the eleventh hour. The question raised in every confer– ence is: "Does the attitude of Dr. Mo– ton influence President Hoover in his disregard, almost dislike, of the Negro here?" "In contrast with former Presidents, Mr. Hover has made no distinct ap– pointments of Negroes, nor said any– thing about their treatment of their problems." On Larrabbee and McMillen Sta.

Notice to the public S UPPOSE you are today paying SOc a tube for your tooth paste (and there are many very 2ood denti– frices selling today at that price). Suppose, like most peo– ple, you buy about twelve tubes during a year. Nm! if you le.new that you could buy as good a dentifrice as can be made and still save each year the price of 25 loaves of bread or 60 bars of soap or 40 pounds of sugar or a box of fine cigars-could you conscientiously fail to take advantage of such an opportunity l That is exactly what you do when you buy Listerine Tooth Paste at 25c for a large tube.

All that we read of their accomplishments is a long list of grandiloquent titles and offices that have been filled through election, etc. --0--- The fact that these conditions exist is one of the conclusive proofs that as a race we are not appreciative of economic laws and facts. Any con– vention that in some measure has not brought to the · attention of its mem– bers our dire need along economic lines and has not taken a step to reme– dy conditions by awakening our peo– ple to the peril that confronts the race if we do not immediately make provision for an economic change, is a pure waste of precious time and mon– ey.

Not so many, are there? et, we spend that amount and more on one single useless and unnecessary convention. If the conventions must be held and undoubtedly we will continue to flock follow.
