REGISTER AND VOTE
On June the 28th, a very important
election will be held in Oregon. A-
mong the measures that should at
tract the attention o f every citizen,
is the income tax and the Charter
Amendment. Both of these measures
deserve earnest and serious consider
ation. And it is a duty that we owe tc
ourselves, city and state to registet
and be prepared to cast our votes on
June 28th.
OUR W O R ST ENEM Y
Those who have given serious
and considerate thought to things
that tend to retard and hinder the
progress of our local group, especial
ly along economic and political lines,
have reached the conclusion and are
forced to admit that the colored peo
ple in many respects are their own
drawback and enemy.
Our one big job is to forget our lit
tle differences and work together for
the success of all, as other races oi
people are doing. Until we can do
this we will continue to be the serv
ant class for others, who have little
respect and less consideration for u-
as an economic and political entity
W e shall continue to be ignored
by the powers that be, in a political
way.

The Advocate hopes -the colored
people in Portland will circulate a pe-
titon asking the Governor of Califor

all times was a champion of the Ne

Y. W. C. A. TAK ES STAND
Sometime ago it was announced
through the daily press that local
'first-class white hotels had declined
to accomodate the colored delegates
to the international Young Women's
Christian Association c o n v ention,
which was to have been held at the
[ublic auditorium in April of next
year and that as a result of this atti
tude on the part of local hotel men,
the National organization had cancel
ed its reservation for the convention
here.
The Advocate wishes to extend to
the National Board of the Young W o
men's Christian Association, its deep
est appreciation for its action in cal
ling off the international covention
here as its rebuke to the wide practice
of drawing the color line.
We believe the time is not far dis
tant when such action will not be
come necessary. And may we go a lit
tle further—may we prophesy in the
words of the poet, Langston Hugh
es?
“ I, too sing America
I am the darker brotner.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes„
But I laugh, and eat well.
And grow strong
Tomorrow,
I’ll sit at the table
When company comes,

T o make your make-up stick at

Skin tones darken with exposure to

WOMAN’S REALM
By
Sunday morning the pastor spoke
on the subject, “ Business and Reli
gion Combined“ . The text was "Not
Slothful m business, fervent in Spirit.
Serving the Lord“ . —Romans, I2.TI.
He said the the relation between re
ligion and business is not one of sep
aration nor antagonism, but the true
rclntion is one of combination. The
religion is worthless that leaves out
business. If a man will not wjork nei
ther shall be eat. That business is
wicked that leaves out religion. It will
lie, and cheat and bribe, and crush the
poor. He urged his hearers to help
build up our business enterprises and
promised that the> would in turn
build up our community.
The night service was graced with
many visitors, a number of members
of the other group and Dr. Long of
Cberaw, S. C . principal of Chenault
Academy; prominent
Presbyterian
race school were among those pres
ent.
The pastor delivered a very instruc
tive sermon on "Know the Love of/
Christ". The choir under the direc
tion of Mrs Katherine Gray rendered
wonderful music including snthemx
and spirituals.
The Gleaners Art Club is still car
rying on the good work. These ladies
are wide awake and are planning o-
ther big things. They met this wlrek
with Mrs Ruby in her new home on
the com er of MacMillan and Wheel
er streets.
