Paragraphics Current News and Opinion (By X. Mabie Wright) Future Negro Business Section. The Fire Company. American Supremacy. The Governor Gets a Good Berth. Mr. Colvin. It acts like a loadstone upon the attention. Men stop singly and in twos and threes to look - and they stand for a good while looking with a curious interest. Thus the building at Sixth and Walnut, being renovated for the Domestic Life and the First Stanadrd attracts the attention of scores of passers-by daily. Guess, prophecy, or hope? It does not matter. But Walnut street from Sixth to Fifteenth - nine blocks - may in a few years be an almost solid Negro business section. With an off-shoot along Ninth and Tenth, connecting the beautiful Pythian Temple and the handsome Western Branch Library with this "our Broadway." The Negro is over fifty years old as a voter. A man, full-fledged, now in politics. It is high time to quit playing with him. To tempt his credulity too often is to send the pitcher to the fountain once too often. That fire company. Lots of us felt dubious about it at first. Shall we be able to say, "I told you so." We'd rather it shall not turn out pre election sop. Our next move. But we move so cussed - "Crown his king," again. "His game." Is it mere luck or genuine superiority that America always wins? Whether it is yacht racing, or boxing, or what not, the foreigner loses to us. Our latest victim is Battling Siki. Brother Norfolk took his measure, and Siki's star shines paler. And so at last our Governor gets his plum. A big, red, luscious one. Member of the United States Railroad Labor Board at $3 per laboring man's hour isn't a job to be sniggered at. It beats governing under the Kentucky constitution. In thus disposing of Mr. Morrow, Messrs. Coolidge and Ernest have ironed out a few more wrinkles in the state and national political situation. German history still gyrates; or kaleidoscopes. Mr. Colvin's appointment as superintendent of the Children's Home strikes a very large number as a happy selection. Woman Stripped and Tied To Plow Prof. Reid Exonerated CHARGES AGAINST K. N. E. A. PRESIDENT AND PRINCIPAL DISMISSED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE SEVERAL HOURS SPENT IN DELIBERATION In carrying the reprint of an article in last week's Leader that appeared in the daily press of Wednesday, November 21, which included a petition by colored citizens of Bowling Green, Ky., setting forth therein charges of immoral conduct and drunkenness against Prof. E. E. Reed, principal of the High School of that city and president of the K. N. E. A., the Leader stated that Prof. Reed claimed that the charges against him were those of his enemies. In a most recent communication from Bowling Green, it is again expressed that the charges contained in the petition against Prof. Reed are absolutely no semblance of the truth. Cleared by Board of Education. A copy of the Times Journal of November 24, has also been forwarded to the Leader office, which carries the the meeting of the Board of Education Friday night, November 23, at which time Prof. Reed was exonerated, after a hearing of both sides, by unanimous vote of that body. The meeting and the findings of the Board is reprinted herewith as appeared in the Times-Journal: The city school board met here last Friday night at the College street school, fully exonerated the principal by a unanimous vote. The matter was brought before the board in a report from a special committee composed of Sam D. Hines and G. H. Hardman and the reading of the affidavits bringing charges against Principal Reed. When the matter was brought before the board the affidavits bringing certain charges against Reed were read by Secretary Williams. This was followed by a statement by Supt. Cherry as to Reed's qualifications and as to the detriment that would accrue to the school should he be given up at this time. He said that morally as far as he knew, visiting the schools week by week, he had never known of any unusual or ungentlemanly act on the part of Reed during his ten years of service as principal of the State Street school. Reed was then called before the board and in a sworn statement made denial of the allegations set forth against him, explaining in details the main charges contained in affidavits, to the satisfaction of the board. The report of the special committee composed of Hines and Herdman stated that the matter had been thoroughly investigated and that charges made were not sustained by the evidence and further that his finding, together with the best interest of the school, actuated the committee in its report. The report was made in writing. The board after hearing the reading of the affidavits and receiving the report of the committee voted unanimously to sustain the report. About a year ago, similar charges were brought against Reed and after the matter had been thoroughly sifted in the city court, he was then exonerated by the court. The matter was again brought to the attention of the city school board by a suit filed in the Circuit Court seeking the discharge of Reed from the principalship of the State Street Colored School. This suit will come before the court next February. Following the filing of the suit the board began another investigation with the findings above stated. Other minor matters came before the board. H. D. Fitch, having resigned from the board, E. B. Stout, who was elected a member of the board at the recent election, was elected by the board last night to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Fitch. The building committee reported the completion of the walks, driveways and sodding of the High School grounds.

The headquarters of the Inter-Racial movement is in Atlanta, Ga., with Mr. J. J. Egan, chairman; Dr. W. W. Alexander, Director General, and Mrs. Luke Johnson, director of Women's work. Great progress has been made by the Inter-Racial movement in recent years in the cultivation of right relations between the races and the improvement of the condition of colored people along many lines. Kentucky is said to have the most active Inter-Racial Commission to be found in the South and the work done in the State under the Commission has excited favorable comment throughout the country. The theme of the coming Fourth Annual Conference is "Present Day Manifestations of Race Prejudice in Kentucky and Progress in Inter-Racial Cooperation."

The famous Simmons' University students and the Lincoln Institute Quartet will furnish the music. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, Atlanta, Ga., one of the most prominent white Baptist ministers in the South, will bring an important Inter-Racial message and Dr. W. T. B. Williams, Tuskegee, Ala., will bring a similar message in behalf of the colored people.
