WOMEN SHOCK EDITOR (From Ft Worth. Tax. News) "Black men believe they have the moat beautiful, attractive and refined women, and they era mindful of them, but they like to see them look their best at all times and also act their beat.

A MAN WHO STANDS FOR JUS TICE ANO EQUALITY Generally speaking, the colored voters are acquainted with the kind of man Arthur Moulton la. and also with the work he has done in their behalf (sans pay) during the paat twelve years. Lest there are some who do not know, others whoso mem ory Is faulty, still others who have come into the state during the past few years and who have not been Informed, we give the following bit of Information: Mr Moulton was among the first to join the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; be not only paid bls membership fee but attended Ito meetings, gave of hie knowledge and money to assist in carrying on the work of the organisation; he served as attorney In the case of some col ored tax payers aanlnst the school board In Its fight to do away with discrimination and segregation in the public school swimming tanks: ho drew up the bill which passed the state legislature and got n place upon the ballot, to eradicate the so-called "black laws" on the statute books of the state; he used his Influence to prevent the showing of a vicious race hating play in the motion picture bouses In the city. We could go on citing numerous other Instances in which Mr Moulton has stood tor justice to all alike, but the cases cited above will, undoubt edly give those who are not personal ly acquainted with the man. an Idea of bls metal. Mr Moulton is most certainly not tn favor of keeping down any portion of our citlsenry. whether Mack or white; he believes in the equal educational facilities for all. and that the uplift of one helps the uplift of alL It is our brief that the colored voters of the state, along with thousands of othvre. will have no hesitancy in casting their ballots tor Mr Moulton, republican for con trees. at the primary election May it th We have bcee Informed that ths Mt.

Apr 11. 1»14, Courtesy Miss Mildred Corliss) In the evening, Aeolian Hall housed one of those surprise ooacarts which sometimes spring up toward the and of a season and which are so pecu liarly gratifying st any time. Julius I Bledsoe, a Negro baritone, gave a song recital -a robust, exhilarating Iprformaace. which for technical ex cellence and genuine artistic feeling will rank with tbs last debuts of ths song year. Mr liledsoo is a medical student at Columbia University, who somehow has contrived to find time la the midst of his clinic for wise and care ful training of bls rich and colorful voice. Ho sang first tbs conventional groups In French, German and Hal lan. leaving a short series of Negro spirituals till tha end The demand of Negro singers that they should not be judged by these songs alone Is a perfectly just and natural ose, and yet II Is impossible to resist ths very special sense of delight that comes with n«aring thorn aung beautifully by a member of the race that gava them to tha world “They Led My Lord Away,** aa Mr. liledsoo saug It. roes to a mounting c rancando of racial sadness and ho gave "I’m Trou bled In Mind" the plalntlvo under- tones which are haunting and unfur- gel table This voice deserves a larger audl tonce than the little group Iasi night which, however, made up in enthusi asm what ihsy lacked In numbers INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH •2'/, N. iou> Street Rev.
