"The Public Be Served" Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All WRITER POINTS THE WAY Idea of Might Is Still Popular, Says Scribe By DR. FRANK S. DELANEY Dissertation: 1928; By Gary American, Inc. Will the American Negro ever become an unproscribed element in American society? Would it be desirable? What are the obstacles in the way of such an achievement? But is He Desirable? Under the first question: Will the American Negro ever become an unrecognized element in American Society, is to be considered: Will he be a desirable neighbor in residential districts? Will he become commercially a producing factor, contributing to the happiness and prosperity of his community? Will he be made welcome to participate with other groups in the enjoyment of those privileges and the bearing of those responsibilities which are necessary for the security and happiness of all? And, will he come to appreciate the seriousness of the responsibilities that rest upon the members of American society and be willing to take his share of the task? Would such a condition be desirable? Thinking in terms of the security and prosperity of the American nation, nothing should be more desirable than that all its people should have common purposes, common ambitions and common desires, altogether sharing the largest comfort, the largest happiness and the largest security that the nation offers. This condition alone can give to a nation the support and prosperity necessary to a long and honorable existence. There may be some people who believe that special privileges should be accorded to some and denied to others, but just as a nation cannot long continue "half slave and half free", in the same measure no nation can long exist providing special privileges to a part of its citizens and discouraging and denying another part equal and unlimited participation. Three Stones In the Way Let me next call attention to the main obstacles which are in the way of such an achievement in our country: First, the American people have not gotten far away from the old idea that "might makes right" and the American Negro is a minority group in this country with neither wealth nor sufficient number to make anything like a definite demand. And while certain privileges and rights are guaranteed to all under the constitution of our country, it is a fact that in consideration of certain evidences of power, certain concessions are made and certain barriers eliminated. Second, the white group in America has through its experience attained a very high degree of industrial and commercial efficiency with a sort of personal ambition for wealth and power and the competition has become so keen until they are constantly putting each other out of business, by means of co-operative schemes. The possibility of small business, such as the white man started with and such as the Negroes of to-day, for the most part, are able to establish, has very little chance for existence, much less success. The third element, which enters as an obstacle between the Negro and this larger life, is ignorance and envy of each other. In his ignorance, he seeks comparison with every other Negro and desires to only be ahead of him. He still, in a foolhardy way, follows the traditional teachings of the old slave master and assumes that every other Negro is his enemy. College and university training only slowly eliminates this defect. Negro preachers, in their effort to cement together their own church flock in order to promote their own denomination, have created strife between different groups of Negroes, promoted discord and diminished confidence. Eliminate Obstacles These obstacles must be overcome, if the race ever is to take its place and become a desirable part of American life. In the next issue of The Gary American, it shall be my purpose to discuss organization and absorption as processes by which the Negro, according to certain groups, is to work out his salvation and become a desirable and unproscribed element in American society.

E. MORRIS Sunday school at Bethelhem A. M. E. church was well attended Sunday morning, more scholars being present than have been usual since the weather became so warm. The sermon preached Sunday morning was a masterpiece. The subject was: "God's Call to the Sleeping Church." It was delivered plainly and with much force and earnestness. The speaker proved that we as Christians are asleep to the things that are most vital to the unbuilding of the kingdom of Christ; namely, the saving of souls. Rev. A. Royster of First Baptist church of East Chicago preached a powerful sermon Sunday afternoon; he used as his subject "Earnestly Contending For the Faith," which was ably preached. Among the ministers present at the afternoon services were: Dr. Van Warden, Rev. Hunt, of Gaillee Baptist church, Rev. Chas. E. Hawkins, of First Baptist church and Rev. Byrd of St. James A. M. E. church, whose choir sang for the opening of the afternoon services, and the choir of the First Baptist church of East Chicago sang for the remainder of the service Sunday night marked the end of our drive to raise funds for the church, which was fairly successful, but not as successful as we had hoped. On next Sunday morning Dr. A. Martin, our new bishop, will be with us and will preach. Come and hear him. Class meeting of last night was good. There seems to be a force for good work in the church and it is felt by those who have the work of God and the church at heart. Visitors are always welcome at the Bethlehem A. M. E. church, which is located at 19th and Jackson street. Mrs. Corine Cross, who has been visiting in Indianapolis and Terre Hante for the last two weeks, has returned home. To the Editor, Gary American, Sir: I am writing for and on behalf of the Gary Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We wish to inform you that the court withdrew its decision and the case is otherwise undecided. The report in last week's edition of your paper, which was Friday, July 13th, 1928, is in error. We would appreciate it very much if you would correct this error in your next week's edition. It might be added, however, that a decision in our favor is expected and we think and believe that the attorneys, who are employed by the Ills Of Negro Analyzed FIVE JUDGES TO SELECT WINNER IN BEAUTY RACE Date for Contest To Be Set for Next Month BIG PRIZE IS OFFERED Winner May Visit Atlantic City, Or Get $50 On a date yet to be announced beautiful girls from all over the state of Indiana will meet in Gary to compete in the "Miss Indiana" Bathing Beauty Contest.

Broadway Garage Opens Parts Dept. A complete line of replacement parts for Ford and Chevrolet automobiles has been received by the Broadway garage, 1950 Broadway, which today announced the opening of their auto parts and accessory store. The auto parts store, which will carry auto accessories of all kinds as well as parts for Fords and Chevrolets, is a new annex to the Broadway garage and filling station all at the same address. The store will be open both day and night, and repair service on all makes of motor cars can be had at any time as special flat rate labor prices, according to J. H. Shover, manager, who today invited all the old patrons to come and inspect the auto parts department, which is said to be one of the best equipped in northern Indiana. Crowds At Pine Beach Increase Escaping the heat and congestion of the city, more than 300 persons motored to Pine Beach resort, Park Road and Lake Michigan boulevard, last Sunday, to spend the day on the lake front and enjoy themselves by bathing in the cool waters of the beach and by dancing and dining. Attendance at the resort has been on the increase each day, according to promoters of the park. HOOL CASE YET,' F LOCAL N.A.A.C.P. N. A. A./C.

RANSOM favors the election of Governor Smith to the presidency. He says that there is little to choose between the platforms of the two parties, that the personalities of the two candidates will be the deciding element in the campaign, and that Governor Smith's personality is more heartening and attractive than Hoover's. He says he has no illusions about the Democratic party, that it is the same old thing, and berates the Republicans for silently acquiescing in the nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. He pins his hope on Governor Smith as a man of the people. A MAN OF THE PEOPLE? Of what people? Certainly not of the Negro people. If Alfred E. Smith has any sympathy with the Negro's sufferings, any indignation at the Negro's being robbed of his rights as an American citizen, any fellow-feeling for the Negro's efforts to better his condition, he has never shown it by word or deed. Living in a city with the greatest Negro population in the world, he has never given it a word of approval or encouragement; when a bill was presented to him that would have raised a Negro to the Magistracy, he vetoed it. So much for Smith, the man. Can Bishop Ransom or anyone else seriously believe that this man's heart would suddenly change if he landed in the White House? Does he forget that a Democratic president will be dominated by the Negro-hating South? Does he realize that if Smith should become president and then die, an Arkansas Democrat would be the president of the United States? Any Negro who prefers such a possibility to the election of Herbert Hoover has a strange way of thinking. ILLS OF RACE ANALYZED IN N.A.A.C.P. ADDRESS TO WORLD Disfranchisement Denounced; Other Injustices Deplored In Association's Report On Conditions In the United States REX THEATRE HAS OPENING (By Gary American Press Service) NEW YORK.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today made public the full text of the address to the American people adopted at its 19th annual conference in Los Angeles. The address drawn up by a committee of which Dr. E. B. Du Bois is chairman, is as follows: Disfranchisement The year of the presidential election brings forly to the mind of every American, white and black, the insistent problem of democratic government in the United States. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its 19th annual conference reiterates its charge that the disfranchisement of the majority of intelligent adult Negroes in the United States is not simply a race problem, it is a problem of democracy and it affects the entire nation and the whole world. If democracy is discredited and sneered at today, it is very largely because of its partial failure in the United States. We are today dominated by selfish private interests, rather than by free and intelligent public opinion; and this is in no small measure because the disfranchisement of 3,750,000 black voters in the South has involved the disfranchisement of more than 5 million Southern white voters. Despite an increase of 100% in the voting population of 11 southern states, and despite the 19th amendment, we face the astonishing fact that in the last forty years the voting population there has increased only 50% and in the southern south, there has been practically no increase in the number of voters in a generation. Lynching Evils For the first time in a generation there has passed in the United States one period of one hundred and twenty days when a human being has not been lynched by a mob. The gratification of recording such a fact only increases the sense of utter shame that a great modern nation must needs rejoice at so elementary an exhibition of decency. If lynching can be stopped for four months, it can be stopped for four Continued on 3 NewPictureShowHas New $10,000 Wurlitzer Organ Transformed into a palace of luxury and comfort and entertainment by new decorations, and fitted up with a $10,000 Wuritzer pipe organ, the Rex Theatre, 2169 Broadway, formerly the Lincoln theatre, opened its doors last Friday evening, a week ago, and gave cordial welcome to a full house of movie fans who came from all parts of the South Side to witness the first performance. Offering only the best of moving pictures, the new theatre will be managed by Metody Cozmanoff, who was formerly manager of the Glen Park theatre. Mr. Cozmanoff has had many years of experience in the theatre business, and now comes to the South Side to give to the colored people in the neighborhood of Twenty-second and Broadway, a first-class moving picture theatre which has long been wanted by residents of this section. Offers First-Run Films First-run moving picture films, starring the most popular cinema stars of Hollywood, will be shown at all times at the Rex, Mr. Cozmanoff stated in an interview with The American today. "I have secured a franchise from the leading film producers to exhibit their pictures at the Rex," Mr. Cozmanoff declared. A new $10,000 pipe organ has been installed in the theatre to add to the entertainment of all its patrons. The organ will be played by an expert organist in the person of Orville Shelton who will play a solo in conjunction with community slides at each performance. In addition to the giant pipe organ, which is said to be one of the largest in any theatre on the South Side, a modern cooling system to keep film fans cool and comfortable during the hot summer months has also been installed. Successor Wanted To Take Place of Leader ADMINISTRATION RAPPED Claim He Does Not Have the Lodge Close To Heart (By Gary American Press Service) SOUTH BEND, July 19. — Earnest Tidrington, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the state of Indiana, will face a determined opposition for re-election this year when the Knights of Pythias meet in this city, according to the way things were developing this week. Doom Seen Coming Tidrington has been grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias for several times, but his power is now said to be growing weaker in view of the general dissatisfaction being shown by outstanding figures in the lodge as the time for its annual meeting draws closer at hand. These people declare that Tidrington has out lived his usefulness as far as the Knights of Pythias are concerned, that he has held on to the office too long, and that he should step out of the way and turn over the reins of control to some one who is better prepared than he to administer the affairs of the order. With the aid of just three men, Tidrington is charged with holding on to his office in the face of the fact that a change of chancellors is desired by the membership all over the state in general. Hugh Rouse, Barney Stone and Silas Pritchett are the three men with whom Tidrington has worked to keep himself in office, according to members of the lodge, who declare that these men virtually "railroad" him into office every year by convention tactics which would be more becoming of a political party than of a fraternal order. Mouse usually nominates Tidrington at all elections, while Stone, a minister, sponsors the nomination and Pritchett usually stampedes the convention by crying for everybody to get on the Tidrington band wagon. In this way, Tidrington is always kept from being removed or displaced by a more competent successor who is wanted by most members of the order. But this year, Tidrington will be faced by the most determined opposition he has had in some time. From both the northern, central and southern parts of the state, information has come that a vigorous campaign will be waged to elect a new man to preside over the destinies of the Knights of Pythias in the state, a man who will have the best interests of the order at heart, and who will lead the lodge to victory and to success. Star Studies for Roosevelt Film Star Studies for Roosevelt Film Dolores Del Rio, who is playing the stellar role in Fox Films version of "No Other Woman," Lou Telegen's production, radiates the impression of pleasure in life. "I have always been happy," she declares. "I am fortunate. But I have seen others suffer—sometimes very deeply—my sorrows have been for others, not myself. To be able to portray sorrow, I believe, it is necessary for one to have a capacity for pity—large pity. "In the year that I have been before the camera I have learned that an actress must study life. She need not go into the slums to study. She can keep a close touch on the cross-currents of the life that is lived about her and look upon them with understanding and sympathy."

Howard, Republican National Committee from Mississippi, delegate to the Kansas City convention and Special Assistant Attorney General, has been indicted in Mississippi for trafficking in Federal offices Howard denies the charges against him. The proceeding is simply an effort to take control of the Republican party in the South away from the Negroes and, incidentally, to help Herbert Hoover in the border states where his recent order abolished Negro segregation in the bureau under the Department of Commerce has aroused white voters, he holds "I don't know what it is all about, said Howard this afternoon. I certainly have never done anything to deserve indictment." According to an affidavit on file in the Department of Justice four years, S. D. Dedmond, one of Howard's law partners, offered A. M. Storer, who was United States Marshal under Roosevelt and Taft, his former office for $1,500. There was exhibited to him an agreement between Redmond and Howard whereby the former was to be consulted in the appointment of marshals and district attorneys.

Davis, civil serv. ice commissioner of Cleveland, de- clared that the massing of Negro citizens in northern industrial cen- ters has been followed by “a signit- icant increase in the number of elec: tive and appointive offices of honor and trust held by colored citizens.” Mr. Davis declared that the part played by the Negro in the recon- struction governments of the south: em states had been misrepresented and that the Negro in America may help to regenerate faith in the pub- lic service which is now in “ill re- pute."

"During the entire period only 33 colored men were seated in the national congress and one-half of these were college men. In one sensational campaign the Charleston News and Courier urged the election of Robert Brown Elliott, an Oxford man, over a northern carpet bagger and a southern demagogue. "It has been aptly pointed out that a majority of these men had received more scholastic training that a recent President of the United States. In state and local administrative office a fair number of colored men served with such conspicuous ability as to gain the respect of southern whites. "In spite of inexperience and in spite of ignorance of the technique of government, handicaps which have wrecked far abler officials, the Negro gave to the South in a few short years the fundamentals of American democracy.

If it can be lessened by local initiative, it can and should be wiped out by national enactment. It is clear from two recent mob murders that lynching still needs to be stopped. A Federal Anti-Lynching Law should write into the statutes of the nation the determination of America to put down mob rule. Disfranchisement and segregation, race hatred and war, all are steps toward the same degeneracy. We have driven official residential segregation out from the protection of the law; but it continues to be common in real estate manipulation and by voluntary agreement. Some segregation by race of American citizens is still practised and persisted in the departments of the Federal Government at Washington. It is due to our unremitting effort that this open defiance of the constitution is no longer general.

Bethea, M Health Editor of The America The 19th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in session in Los Angeles. In point of service and length of service this association has functioned longer than any other of its kind organized to foster the political, civil and social rights of colored people. That its usefulness has been valuable to the race and the nation is true; that it has been hampered and circumscribed in its endeavors as much by the disinterestedness of the people it aims to help as much as by the opposition it has encountered from its enemies is also true. Such an organization should be better supported than it is. The "Old Negro" organized it, and with the help of a few good white friends has maintained it. It is up to the "New Negro" if he wants to safeguard his own rights and those of his children to support it now. If he fails to do this he will write himself down as a quitter and will have to disavow his claims to the vaunted superiority he proclaims and professes. It is a great organization and must live. It is up to the self styled "New Negro," who has its destiny in his hands, to keep it alive and make it more effective.—Chicago Bee. ABOUT YOUR VACATION ot you should have a vacat But there are other points at te in his mind, and then af the face, he often finds that question with most of us is a Whether or not you should have a vacation is no longer a debated question. But there are other points at issue that each one of us has to debate in his mind, and then after he has thought until he is blue in the face, he often finds that he cannot come to a decision. The burning question with most of us is the cost. It takes a great deal of skimping and planning to get ready to go away for a little trip. You have to begin to make your blue prints weeks and months ahead of time, and then even after you have planned everything even to a gnat's heel, something may turn up to knock you sky high from the journey. There might be a stump in business or you might be layed off the job for a while or some other unexpected draw on your little balance in the bank, or sickness might steal into your home like a thief in the night, and leave a big doctor's bill—but then you would not lose any sleep over that bill. Some folk hate to go away because they get too homesick. Some men would rather be burned at the stake than to stay away from their wives a single night. But in most cases the husband should go to one place and the wife to another. A woman can never realize what a prince of a flusband she has until he has been away from her for several days. Nor can a man have the least idea what a sweet wife and sweetheart he has until he has gone thirsty for her kisses and caresses for a couple of weeks. But after you have finally bought your ticket or filled your gasoline buggy with plenty of gas and oil, and you have seen the home town fade in the distance, and you find yourself getting a little hungry; you know then that, for sure, you are off for your vacation. Of course, if you live in the city you will not go to another city, but you will be just too glad to get away from the big town, where you have had to play hide and seek to keep from being run over by some speed demon. You will want to get out in the open country for a little fresh air, and to loll around on the banks of the river or hill side. On the other hand our country cousins will be thrilled as they lose themselves among the tall and stately skyscrapers of the city When you away, throw away your reserve and be young again. If the order of the day is fishing, rowing, running or ball playing, just be a good sport and enter the spirit of the occasion. If you are visiting a strange city be sure to see all you can, but keep your hands on your pocket book. This is a great age for conventions. This is a good place to spend a week, for you will see so many different people from various parts of the country. Then you hear a lot of good talks. you do not usually have to spend much money, at these conventions, and you can have a scrumptious time. One thing certain, if you go to one of these grand lodges, or church conventions you will want to go again. Some folk have a knack of getting themselves elected delegate every year. As you bid adieu to the folk at home it might not be a bad idea to repeat to yourself the Boy Scout oath. The Boy Scout cath among other things pledges that a scout must be physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. HEALTH AND THE FUTURE Down at the fair grounds at Crown Point, sixty-three small girls from the section of the county are taking the "fresh air treatment" at the fresh air camp maintained by the Lake County Welfare association, and are gaining in health and strength through the rest, good food, and fresh air that they are receiving. When this group completes a four week's stay at the camp, another group, this one of boys, will take its place. The work that is going on at Crown Point fair grounds is of much value merely in relieving the troubles of these youngsters, but it has a much greater value in the work that it is accomplishing for the future of the county. It is well known that unhealthy children do not grow up to be the best type of adults, for bodily ills, affect the minds of the youngsters in many ways as they grow older. But the treatment being given these youngsters at the fresh air camp is such as to aid them to better health, and thus make them of greater value to the county and to the world at large in their later days. The work that is being done by the Lake County Welfare association is one that deserves the highest commendation, and one that should not be allowed to fall down in future years, as long as there remains an undernourished child. MOTOR BUS TO OFFER RIDES TO STATE'S PARKS Arrangement Seen for Transport of Visitors INDIANARGUS INDIANAPGLIS. — Motor bus transportation to state parks with the additional service of buses on tours of all parks when sufficient patronage justifies, appeared as a near possibility today when it became known that Indianapolis motor bus companies and the state conservation department were at work on plans and a schedule to provide this transportation feature to Indiana's six park reservations. For several summers and more so this season, many people have made inquiries at the conservation department about bus service from Indianapolis to one or more of the parks, and at this time Chas. G. Sauers, assistant conservation director, and the heads of several bus companies are working on a schedule. To expedite the starting of their bus service and also to insure its permanency especially during the summer season when many people might prefer to use a bus than to drive their own cars, a postcard addressed to the Department of Conservation at the Statehouse from those interested, will materially aid in the project. Mr. Sauers and bus company officials, basing their opinion on inquiries from persons wishing such a service, think it possible to start a schedule to each park immediately, later extending it to include weekend tours in which two or three parks may be visited. It is also possible that complete tours of all parks can be arranged which would take visitors from Clifty down on the Ohio river at Madison, to the Dunes on Lake Michigan's sputh shore and across the state to Lake James where Pokagon state park is attracting many thousands from points in Michigan and Ohio as well as from Indiana. Bus service to state parks has been utilized more to date on special parties or where members of nature study clubs wished to visit the state reservations in a group. Now that excellent road roads are available to all the parks, and to further take care of those seeking to enjoy the parks who do not possess individual cars, this new service is planned. It Won't Be Long Now The old Ford car Is covered with rust; The new one, thus far, Hasn't thrown much dust. Still They Do It Going sixty miles an hour, His driving was immense, As was the engine's power Until he struck a fence. Once it was customary to have a nightmare in a night shirt instead of a night club. They say there is music in heaven. Fine. But that's a long distance to travel to be away from jazz. "I'm a mute."
