Mack was convicted last spring for the slaying of Josephine Odir- ozz0, and Mary Gigily, white, and the murder of William Welch. He protested his _ innocence throughout his trial which many claim was conducted in an atmos- phere of prejudice and hostility. Sentenced to die in the electric chair, date of his execution was set for March of the coming year, following the refusal of the Su- preme court to overrule the con- viction of Judge Grant Crumppack- er in Valparaiso circuit court. Attorney Is Skeptical Attorney John W. Robinson, prominent Gary lawyer, went to Michigan City last Tuesday and while there interviewed Mack. He declared that Mack still claims he knows nothing about the crimes for which he was convicted. As a result of his interview, Rob- inson declared that he too, is con- vinced that Mack is innocent. He eaid he would prepare a_ petition asking the governor to commute the death sentence to life imprison- ment. Drafting of the petition, he said, will be done immediately. It will be circulated throughout the coun- ty. “The local white ‘daily paper de- seribed Mack as a giant, but my first contact with him today gave me a different impression,” Attor- ney Robinson declared. “Mack is a man of only normal stature and since the state sought to show during the trial that only a man-of great size and strength cbuld have committed those crimes, it is pertinent to point out that Mack is not what you would call a giant. “LT talked with Mack for fully fif- teen minutes in the death house at Michigan City, and from what he told me I am convinced that he is innocent,’ Robinson concluded.

Watson of Indiana, republican leader of the senate, dis- cussing the program for the com- ing short session of congress is quoted as saying he was in favor of having the Senate consider ear- ly in the session the list of nomina- tions before it and if possible dis- pose of these before the Christmas holiday. This will be welcome news to many and especially the newly ap- pointed Recorder of Deeds, Jeffer- son S. Coage; Charles E. Mitchell, recently designated as Minister Resident and Consul General to Li- beria; end their friends. ' The appointment of Coage and the resignation of Arthur G. Froe, of West Virginia as Recorder of Deeds, came as a bombshell to lo- cal politicians. Froe came into of- ice under President Harding and jwas able to maintain the post un- der three different presidents. It jhas been intimated in Republican circles that Froe and Coage are not lon such good terms ana that the former probably will use his pow- ler to block the confirmation by the |Senate. Mitchell, who was named as a candidate for the post to Liberia before the election of Hoover, was busines manager of West Virginia State college. Following the death of W. T. Francis, who was named to the Liberia post by former Pres- dent Coolidge the position became a gamble, with several white can- didates in line. When Clifford |Wharton, secretary of the Ameri- \can Legation at Monrovia was re- called here several months ago, it [was heenly felt throughout the na |tion that President Hoover was go- |ing to send a white minister to the |Black Republic. Washington Now Houses 132,068 Aframericans WASHINGTON, — (CNS) — The Negro population of the District of Columbia increased from 109,966 in 1920 to 132,068 in 1930, a gain of 20.1 per cent. The percentage of gain in the white population in the same per- iod was only 8.3 per cent, giving a white population of 353,914 as against 326,860 in 1920. The Negro population which tot- aled 25.1 per cent of the total in 1920 increased to 27.1 per cent in 1930 with the gain of 22,102 over 1920.

In her report she deplored the failure of efforts to have Congress enact legislation officially designat- ing the War of 1861-65 as the “War Between the States,” instead of the “Civil War.” Former President Coolidge was asked, she said, to employ the ap- proved phrase in a speech he made in South Dakota, but did not re- ply to the leter from the U. D. C. Mrs. Bashinsky all forgetful of the fact that the war of 1861-65 was a war to put down rebellion and rightly called at the time and since the “War of the Rebellion” says: “The keystone of our organiza- tion is loyalty to the truth in southern history.” The change to term “Civil War” does not suit their fancy now, hence the effort to have the phrase “War Between the States” was adopted. sure by amendment adopted in the house. House Jeaders finally agreed to wipe out both amendments and the bill then was passed. | One Southern paper says, how- ever: “Those people who would prevent a reapportionment in Con- gressional representation by exclud- ing Nogroes and aliens are running in rabbit paths.

White Youths Attack Negro Woman; Fined City Prosecutor Bretsch Praises Calmness of Youths’ Captor Largest Fine Law Permits, Imposed Judge Key Scores Youth of Today Who Prey on Unescorted Women Declaring vehemently that “if the situation had been reversed, and two colored men had assaulted a white woman in a white neighbor- hood, there is not a white man un- der the sound of my voice who would not have resorted to physical vielene ¢nd we woult have a dif- fexeat story to tell in avy today,” City Prosecutor Clarence Bretsch ended his argument before Judge Herman Key, Tuesday morning, in an assault and battery case involv- ing two white youths and a Negro housewife. The two men ,Albert C. Huber, 19, 2500 Burr and Claude Olingan, 21, 837 Pierce, were charg- ed with assault and battery on Mrs. Bertha Roby, 1806 Massachusetts, on November 9. Plead Mistaken Identity Attorneys for the defendants pleaded mistaken identity in the arrest of the two youths. But the fact was shown, and admitted by the youths, that they were in the immediate neighborhood of 18th and Massachusetts at the time of the assault. Positive identification on the part of the defendants by George Holland, 1816 Massachusetts, proved the basis of the state’s case, according to Judge Key when he found the young men guilty of as- sault and imposed the maximum penalty of the law, $25 and costs each. Captor Praised by Prosecutor Prosecutor Bretsch was loud it his praise of George Holland, who captured the assailants and held them until police arrived. Holland, according to his testimony, did not see the assault, but the men were pointed out to him by Mrs. Roper. They had left their car parked near the corner and when they went to claim it, Holland detained them forcibly until the police took them into custody. The prosecutor prais- ed Holland's demeanor and cool- headedness in protecting the life of the young men, while awaiting the arrival of the police. The testi- mony showed that an outraged crowd had formed which was an- xious to do bodily injury to the young men for attacking Mrs. Roby. It was only through Holland that they were restrained from doing so. / Judge Scores Impetuous Youth | Judge Key, in passing sentences on Huber and Olingan, declared ‘there “is no doubt in my mind con- cerning the guilt of the two youths and had it not been for her ficet foutedness in escaping from them, the charge would have been more asrioue” The judge stated further that “there are dozens and dozens ‘of youths of both races who find delight in preying on defenseless and honorable women who find it ‘necessary to be on the streets at night, alone. The sooner the com- ‘munity is rid of that serious evil, | the better it will be for all concern led. I think a judge is justified in |giving men like these the limit of \the iaw, but because there was no /evidence of battery, I can only fine |them $25 each, on the assaul charge,” ee) 9 Jazzin’ The News (THE WEEK’S NEWS IN VERSE) By F.

Because of the fact that this fund will be raised expressly to take care of the poor and needy of the Negro race, much interest in the move was manifested this week by men and women in all parts of the city, representing all occupations. In no section of the city has the present employment situation struck suhe a hard blow as it has dealt to residents of the South Side, declare Gary leaders, and the need for raising a fund to provide the necessities of life this Christ- mas to many poor colored families is greater in the black belt’ than elsewhere in the township. Think Move a Wise One The number of colored peo who cal! upon the township trus- tee's office for help is twice that of any other racial group, according to Miss Mary Newlin, township trustee, whose office in the County building Tuesday was crowded with applicants for assistance out of the township's poor relief fund. That the move to raise a poor re= lief fund for Gary's colored people is a logical one to make at this time was voiced today by Mrs. Julia Gross, 1913 Adams street, who has reported many cases of suffer- ing to The American. See “The employment situation among Fires On Man Suspected As House-Robber Police Hold ‘Wenaiad Man in Effort to Solve Many Burglaries With the capture Sunday morn- ing of Daniel Doaks, 1932 Carolina, police authorities believe they have solved a number of burglaries com- mitted during the last month. Doaks was arrested, after being wounded in the leg, when he was found lurking around the home of Louis Musgrove, 2256 West 19th. Musgrove reported to the police that shortly after one o'clock Sun- day morning he noticed a man loit- ering near his home. His suspi- cions were aroused when the man lay down in the grass by the side- walk in front of his house, and continued to watch the house. Mus- grove said he watched the man for nearly an hour and when he did not leave he secured his gun and went outside to see what the prowl- er wanted. The youth then fled. Musgrove fired and hit Doaks in the left leg, inflicting a slight flesh wound. Several neighbors gave chase and caught the young man a few blocks away. He is being held for investigation by the police, , Walgreen Co.

Brooks testified that he shot Green in self- dcfense, our people is worse this year than ever,” Mrs. Gross declared, “and the need for giving help to our people is consequently — greater. Hardly a day passes that the cause of some worthy family is not brought to my attention.” Mrs. Gross expressed the belief that if a fund was started now and an extensive drive conducted from now until the Christmas holidays much good would accrue from the movement. Last year, The Gary American made an appeal for one needy fam- ily on 25th street and was suc- cessful in raising a small amount of money and securing many need- ed articles of shoes and clothing for the distressed group. In 1928, a similar appeal was made for a mother and her three children who were driven out of their home by a fire of incendiary origin and lost everything they possessed. Results of these two appeals has convinced Gary welfare workers that if a movement was started now through the newspaper and conducted along intensive — lines much more good could be accom- plished and a greater number aided All of those seeking aid may call at the office of The Gary American, 1819 Washington street, and register. ‘Those who know of persons in dire straits may call at The American office and leave thelr names and ad- dresses.

Head of Rosenwald Fund Says Negro's Best Friend in South PAGE TWO Head of Rosenv Negro's Best I Speaks at Dedication of 5,000th School in Virginia HAMPTON INSTITUTE, V (ANP) — An event of great fascence for both the Negro white races took place on F morning, November 21, when Greenbriar school, between H ton and Newport News, Viru was dedicated. This school 5,000th to whose construction Rosenwald, the Chicago chant and philanthropist, has tributed. On a platform constructed on one side of the school were seated the speakers and many other distinguished guests. Before the platform were grouped the children of the Greenbriar and the Union schools and several hundred parents and friends. The chairman of the meeting was Robert M. Newton, superintendent of schools for Elizabeth City county. After the invocation had been pronounced by the Re. S. Arthun Devan, the chaplain of Hampton Institute, S. L. Smith, director for Southern Schools of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, presented the key of the Greenbriar Schools to Mr. Newton. Mr. Smith pointed out that the 5,000 "Rosenwald Schools" situated in more than 630 counties of the south cared for more than 600,000 Negro boys and girls. In responding to Mr. Smith's presentation, Mr. Newton, commenting on the kindness and courtesy, which, he pointed out, are characteristic of Elizabeth City county, traced the progress of the free school system in the county. He showed the rapid advance which had been made in educational facilities. He emphasized the great help which had been given to the county by the patrons and friends of the school, by the Rosenwald fund, and especially by Hampton institute, which, he said, had always given inspiration and encouragement and sympathetic help. He reminded the audience of the agreement with the Institute by which, beginning with 1831, all Negro pupils in the county will receive their high school instruction in a new building on the Hampton institute campus.

Mr. Newton concluded by saying that the school was being dedicated for educational purposes and whid serve as a community center with its excellent library and playground facilities. The Hon. John R. Saunders, Attorney General of Virginia, emphasized the importance of education in training good citizens and pointed out that Virginia is going to be a better place because the colored people are taking interest in the education of their children.

Welch, who, with the support of the Negro vote, was placed to that office for the sixth time in the past election, will show his "gratitude" for that vote on Thanksgiving day. He will provide a turkey dinner for all of the unemployed. The dinner will be served at four restaurants on the east side, and it is expected that more than 1,500 persons will be fed in the four places. Every "side dish" and delicacy that should be included with a holiday dinner will be served, according to Judge Welch. Judge Welch, who has been justice of the peace in his district for the past ten years, was bitterly opposed in the last election by Chester A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas City Call. He defeated James A. Weisson, Negro, the candidate for the office supported by The Call, and had the support of the Kansas City American. Winnie Lightner in A New Talkie Hit Winnie Lightner in her latest and most hilarious all-talking, all-color picture, "The Life of the Party," is now playing at the Roosevelt theatre, Chicago. In this production Miss Lightner is seen as a typical music-snop song plugger who inspires to successful gold digging. Her adventures carry her to Havana where she becomes involved with a bogus mill lionaire and through a series of amusing events rides a race horse to near victory and almost lands in jail. Irene Delrog, who recently appeared in "Oh Sailor Behave," plays the role of Winnie's accomplice. Others in the all star cast are Charles Butterworth, comedy star of "Sweet Adeline," now playing in the loop, who displays his comical "dead pain" on the screen for the first time; Jack Whiting, Charles Jufelski, also of "Oh Sailor Behave," and a host of other celebrated comedians. Arthur Cuzar, king of Broadway who crackers, wrote the screen adaptation and dialogue.

INDIANA Janitor Finds Time to Write Songs of Dixie Latest Composition Is Heard on Radio Over Fort Wayne's WOWO FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A composer who dreams of melodies in the daytime while portering in a downtown hotel here and who sets his compositions to music at night was discovered here recently in the person of Kimball R. Black, Jr. Mr. Black who is 27, attracted attention when his latest composition, "Mother, Kentucky and You," was played by an organist over radio station WOWO. The piece has received much favorable comment. The writer is expecting to have it published in the near future and has already obtained a copyright on both the words and music, both of which he wrote. The words of the chorus are as follows: "I'm going back to old Kentucky To the place where I was born; To the cottage on the hilltop There's a welcome there for me, The birds singing of my returning, Both night and day I've been worning for you." I'm going back to old Kentucky To Mother, Kentucky, and you." The young composer has been in Fort Wayne 16 years. He was born in Kentucky and other pieces composed by him show a strong yearning for the land of his youth. Mr. Black modestly attributes his ability to compose to his natural love of music as he has never had the opportunity to study music.

One is a strong conviction that he has a product that will hold its place in public favor despite competition. The other is actual proof of that..... the increasing popularity of his product. If his product will not stand the test of competition, he would simply be throw- ing his advertising investment away. If the buying public rejects his product after it has been offered in advertising he HAS thrown his advertising invest- ment away. That’s why the manufacturer who advertises his merchandise consistently is very sure of quality ....and you may be sure of it, too. Read the advertising in The Gary American... it will euide you to the buying of worthy merchandise. It will inform you of values right within your own reach.

Christmas In Wide Variety of Styles, Modes _ Since scarf pins are back again in many patterns, making it easier to buy for the men of the family, we are told that rings with a @quare stone setting are having a ‘Wave of popularity just now, and there is a real flair for having them carved with a coat of arms or club insignia. These are of yel- Jow gold with a sardonyx and are quite conservative. Another ring seen recently was of platinum, heavy and severely plain, set with a cabachon star saphire, and most unique and interesting. This was an exception, for yellow gold 1s being used largely for men’s tings just now. For men who like the unusual will be found most at- tractive rings set with quaintly earyed lapis. Cuff-links of lapis will suit the man with a liking for color, and afford a nice contrast when worn with delicate soft blue, or gray shirts. There are cuff-links for more dressy wear, too, which are of platinum or white gold with a frosted finish. Some are plain, some have a small diamond in the center, but the swanky ones have a row of tiny diamonds set in a straight line across them, and they are uppealing indeed. eee One might wonder with all the fiair in feminine fashions for the romantic things of years ago, if men wouldn't succumb to a bit more of sentiment, too. There are gome, bless their hearts, who still carry with them a picture in a locket. A gift suggestion for a man of this type is a small square gold case for the end of his watch chain. The picture inside is of metal, and won't fade with years fand wear, so much more satisfac- tory than the old ones which were @lweys in need of first aid. There are lovely pen knives, too, for the eni of watch chains, in precious metals, plain or with as elaborate desizns as could be desired. For the man who prefers a time piece on his wrist, the new gold chains in square links are worth considering. They have an air of atability and wear that most men like, and arc light and ea. uy eared for. Caucasian Is “Fired” From D.C. Hospital Engineer Insults Nurse At Freedmen’s; Will Resign Dec. 1 WASHINGTON, D. C. —(CNS)— Alleged to have attempted to as- gault Miss Evangeline Renfro, young dietician at Freedmen’s hos- pital, Henderson Cornett, white, chief engineer of the institution, ‘Was asked to resign by Dr. W. A. Warfield, superintendent of the hos- pital, it was learned early last ‘week. The alleged assault was reported to Dr. Warfield by the young diet- ician, when Cornett's attention to- ‘ward her became unbearable. Cor- nett, who has placed his resigna- tion with Dr. Warfield, effective December 1, is said to have entered the room of Miss Renfro under guise of repairing a radiator. While in the room he made several ad- vances toward the young lady. She Teft the room and went into the next room of a girl friend, leaving the door open. Upon her return Cornett was still there. He still made advances and started to touch Miss Renfro, and at this time her screams brought other student nurses and occupants of the quar- ters to her room. Cornet made his exit. The matter was reported to Dr. Warfield, who upon investigation, asked Cornet to resign. Cornett, who has been at the hospital for seven years is said to have made similar advances on the young wo- men of the institution. Before coming to Freedmens’ from the In- terior Department, similar occur- fences were reported to have taken place at that building. Cornett lives ‘with his wife and three children at 2540 Fourteenth Street N. W. Dr. Warfield stated that a color- ed chief engineer would be sought to take the place vacated by Cor nett. 9 Lork’s Confectionery Ice Cream, Fruits ‘Candy and Cold Drinks C.

A certain society woman, prom- inent and wealthy, is suing the United States to recover a quarter of a million dollars paid in income taxes for three years, alleging losses through the closing of hotel bars which she owned before the passage of the Prohibition law. She will not get her money back, it is safe to say, because the Supreme Court has decided that national Prohibition is not confiscation of a legitimate industry, but abolition of a business hurtful to the peo: ple. No one has a right to do wrong, yet evil-doers are constantly acting as if any interference with their wickedness were an offense against “personal liberty.” That much- vaunted term is constantly used as a cloak for personal iniquity. No one nas a mgnt to make profit from preying on others. The dope-scller and the bootlegger and the high-society bar-owner, stand on the same level of social infamy, while the defenders of such crea- tures stand with them. “In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued, let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.” Read PSALM 10:1-12.

Now isn’t it the duty of my fiance to see to my happiness first of all? I've been so miserable about this that I've thought of breaking the engagement. ALIXE.

He emphasized that se- ‘gregation means degradation. In other words, separate schools, re- strictions as to where to live and false impressions held by whites tend to place Negroes in a second class, thereby lowering the ideals of the race. In concluding Jackson pleaded with the audience to raise the coming generation to respect the black race, to give it the same rights as any other American and to treat Negroes as Christian bro- thers so that the coming génera- tion of Negroes might have an equal chance to live. | At the end of the lecture, the ‘meeting was turned into an open discussion.

VOL. IV. No. 2 Look Out, Brow Look Out, Brown Man! By Sherwood Anderson (Note: This article, by who is probably An of stories, appeared in the Nation for November been editing a newspaper in Virginia.) (Note: This article, by who is probably America's foremost writer of stories, appeared in the Nation for November 26. Mr. Anderson has been editing a newspaper in Virginia.) In Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi and even in Indiana and Ohio, the big shuffle-footed Negroes' Negro man, the so-called "bad one," goes about on the alert now. He has to be careful. These aren't good times for a Negro man to be too proud, step too high. Ther are a lot of white men hard up. There are a lot of white men out of work. They won't be wanting to see a big proud black man getting along. There'll be lynchings now. Tse in trouble, Mr. White," he said. "You are, eh?" "Yessah, Mr. White." "Well then, where is your white-man friend? Why don't you go to him?" "Because, sah, I ain't got no white-man friend." "You ain't, eh? Well, then I'll tell something—the Southern white man who hasn't a Negro-man friend and the Southern Negro man who hasn't a white-man friend isn't any good . . . You get out of here. You make yourself scarce." Such a Negroes' Negro man doesn't always remember to be polite and courteous to whites. He isn't slick and fawning. He's not a white man's Negro. There are wenches like that, too — thick blood in them, heads held high. You'll see one of that kind occasionally on a country road in Georgia, a fine proud one. Such a carriage she's got, such a swing to her hips. That is about the attitude of the intelligent white or brown man or woman in both the old and new South, as far as I have been able to get at it. The trouble is there are not enough intelligent whites and browns. Which race has the best of it in that, I don't know. That's one of the things you can't shades to intelligence. You don't find it all in books. I know that. You have to think or-what the Negro has done in his position, how well he has handled it, both in the North and in the South. You'd think, if you listened to Northern people talk, or to professional Southernners in the North, that all Negroes were alike. I've heard them say, "Why, I can't tell one Negro from another." Might as well say, "I can't tell one field from another, one mountain from another, one river from another." Some can't. Then you have to remember also that there are Negroes who are not white men's Negroes. I dare say there were proud men, fierce men, fighters and strutters among the tribes in the forests over there in Africa, too. The blood of these men must have come down, some of it, into some of our blacks, some of our browns. They say, "It's different down South. The Negro knows his place down there." They mean to say he always goes fawning, taking off his hat to any kind of low-grade white, getting off the sidewalks. Why you'd think, to hear them talk, that Southern Negroes, particularly in the far South, were just dogs. Not very high-class dogs at that. There is a kind of dog that always goes about like that, his tail always between his legs. J, for one, can imagine how such a man feels sometimes, when he has to knuckle under. I'm a white man and I've had to knuckle under to second-rate white men myself. I've had to laugh when such a one laughed, listen to his dull yarns, pretend to be impressed when he talked like a fool. I've done it. I've sat in advertising conferences, out in Chicago, for hours at a time, listening to some big windy man talking nonsense. I've sat there smiling, being polite, nodding my head, looking impressed. As though any decent Northern or Southern white man, woman, would want a Negro man, or woman, to be like that. There are whites that do want it. Second, third, and fourth-rate whites they are. They are in the ascendency ever since the Civil War. Before that they were there of course, but they were kept under. Why you can find as many loose-lipped, boastful, black-eyed, second-rate whites in the American South as in any place on earth. Who do you suppose does the lynching down there, in the dreadful ugly little towns? I remember one such advertising conference when I sat like that for four hours. I was fingering a heavy inkwell that happened to be on the table before me. I wanted particularly, I remember, to bounce it off the head of a certain vulgar fat man who kept several of us there the four hours that day while he talked about himself. He was telling us what a big man he was, but he wasn't a big man he was, just as I thought it would. What he wanted us to do for him, and what we did, over our protest, broke him. I'm glad it did. The cheap ones got into power a lot of places in the South after the Civil War because the whites with class to them got killed in the war. Or they lost all they had. The first-rate families in the far South are surprisingly feminine now. I mean there aren't any men left in some of the families, just a few high-class women hanging on. They don't do any loud talking about killing Negroes — the Southern people, of the old South, always did understand the position of the Negro pretty well. There was a situation. The *South had something on its hands — "our peculiar institution," the statesmen from down there called it. It was peculiar, all right. The whites in America have got the Negro into a certain position in our civilization. We present-day whites don't put him there. We are in rather tight times. The Negro, because of his long subjugation, because he has known, has been taught by the circumstances of his position, a lot about sliding through such times, will get through the present situation better than a lot of whites. He will know how, will have been taught by life how to do it. You had to assume that all Negroes were natural servants, that they liked being in a subordinate position in life. They gave love and devotion to the whites, expecting nothing. That will make a lot of second-, third-, and fourth-rate whites jealous and sore. There'll be lynchings now. You watch. There'll be women insulted. You'll be surprised, if you watch it, how few first-class white women will be insulted. Most of the women insulted will be the slack wives or daughters of slack second-rate whites, and in this situation the fawning, polite white man's Negro will get through all right. I can't see why a Negro should be any different than any other man about all that. A man does what he has to do. How many whites are there in subordinate positions in life, doing what they don't like to do, being pretty polite about it too? The fellow who has to look out now is the Negroes' Negro. Don't strut much these days, big I can't see this sharp difference between the impulses and desires of Negroes and myself. I think decent Negro men and women have the same feelings I have. They have, under the circumstances, the same thought, the same impulses. I've been about Negroes a lot. I've watched them — that's my specialty, watching people — I've talked to them. Don't strut much these days, big boy. Walk carefully now. Some of us understand how you like to strut, how it is. In your blood. A good many of us don't mind an occasional strut ourselves. Why, most of the strutting songs, to which we strut, when we do strut, we got from you. "But you can't understand the thoughts and feelings of a Negro," men say. I've asked a good many Negroes about that. "If you can get on to yourself a little I guess you can get on to me," the Negro We'll be your friend, if we can, big boy, but it's going to be rough going. There'll be lynchings now. It is time to walk softly. If you have any intelligence, brown boy, Negroes' Negro, remember that it has been by remaining friends with the intelligent people among the whites, by having an understanding with them, that the browns have got along with the whites as well as they have. says. "Why," someone says, "you've got something primitive here." Sure you have. You've got the differences of a few thousand years out of the caves and forests. How old is the human race anyway? How much difference do a few thousand years make? And any way we haven't any pure-blooded Africans here — not any more. Why, I am talking to Negroes now. Bear this in mind, Negroes' Negro. There are a good many of us whites who are, more than we like to admit, in the same position as you. If your people have been slaves, so have ours: if you have been in a subordinate position in life, so have we. I know this — that the people with some class to them, both men and women of the South, never have talked so big about the difference. These people always did recognize a certain position they were in and that the brown men and women about them were in. It was a difficult position. Slavery never was any god. It wasn't any good for the whites or the blacks either. Most of those who talked so big about the glories of slavery never did have any slaves. The intelligent, human white man of the old South did the best he could with life there, as he found it, and the intelligent brown man did the same. There are a good many kinds of slavery in this life. More brains, white man and brown man, for God's sake, more brains! Look out, big brown boy, the lynchers are loose.

NOTICE McGuire Made Only 7 Trips to Crown Point Original Statement of 77 Incorrect in Suit For Added Fees Only seven trips to Crown Point, preparatory to taking up the case of Ulysses Mack, convicted hatchet slayer, were made by Attorney Chester C. McGuire, according to a suit filed in Lake Superior court two weeks ago. In an article which appeared in The American November 15, the statement of McGuire's services listed 77 trips. This was incorrect. McGuire made only seven trips for which he demands a fee of $130 in his suit against the rela- tives of Mack for an additional fee of $1,751.97 The rest of the article, based upon McGuire's complaint, was, however, substantially correct. McGuire was defense attorney for Mack, awaiting execution at Michigan City for the slaying of Josephine Odiozzo, Mary Gigil and William Welch. He received $268 in cash for his services, in addition to two promissory notes totaling $1,000 and two lots in the city valued at $400. Feeling that his compensation is inadequate, McGuire asks the court to award him the additional fee of $1,751.97. Negro's Home Bombed; Five Whites Held Bombing Thought to Be Union Action Against Non-Union Labor DANVILLE, Va. — Five white men were arrested here early this week in connection with the bombing of a Negro's home, said to be a union reprisal against the textile industries employing non-union Negro workers to break a textile workers' strike. The explosion was near the home of Jim Swann, non-union worker in the Schoolfield textile mill, but did no serious damage to the house. Those arrested were R. I. Cook; J. B. Barrow, L. L. Yetos, Floyd Sutliff and Dan Sutliff. All five were said by Chief of Police Cole to be union workers. According to the police report of the arrests, agitation had been going on concerning the employing of Negroes in the textile industries during a strike. Detective J. C. Lewis was assigned to the case, and he is said to have hidden in a hardware store in Danville and witnessed Dan Sutliff purchasing six sticks of dynamite. The detective said he followed Sutliff to Schoolfield and pointed him out to the Schoolfield police as the man who purchased the dynamite.

The proof was interested in all sorts of plants and never lot a chance pass to investigate new ones. In fact, he was so much interested in plants he never combed his hair and once a near-sighted teacher from another school mistook his dome for a growth of unfeuiful blackberry vines — but that is being the point. One day the professor took his cross-eyed ron to the goo. Just as they got in front of the lion's cage, the pappy became interested in a strange plant growing therey. "Say, pop," began the son. Pop looked up and thought his young offspring was looking at the plant when he was really looking at the lion. "Say, pop," the lad continued, "ain't that a dandy lion?" And it's called that to this very day. WHY WE HAVE LISTERINE A cook named Khon had charge of all the groceries in a boarding place. You know, one of those places where the man with the longest arm gets the most food and the chickens served got mixed up and grew two necks and only one leg. Anyhow, there were four boarders and the landlady. On Sunday all five sat down to their dinner and finished up all but the dessert. "Today you may have your choice of desserts. We have pie and bread pudding. Which will you have?" The first wanted pie and so did the second and third. The fourth wanted pudding but the landlady herself wanted pie. So, turning to the cook she said: "Four out of five will have pie, Risen." A FICK TOWN IS A PLACE WHERE A MAN STAYS WITH HIS OWN WIFE AT NIGHT.

Employed to Catch Naked White Girls LOS ANGELES — (ANP) According to Pete Edwards, a large well-known movie "extra", he was engaged a few days ago by white promoters unknown to him to make a picture on location in one of the remote canyons near the city. At tended by a great deal of secrecy the party included a number of white girls repaired to a large cave. Pete dressed only in a loin cloth was stationed in the mouth of the cave. White girls absolutely naked, supposedly fleeing from white men, also naked, were to pass this cave. As they did so the wild man of the hills was to leap out and capture them herding them all into his cave home. Other scenes which could not be shown on any public screen were filmed according to Edwards. They are usually made by private cameramen, for sale at high prices for risque parties and stages. Negro Concert Musicians To Start Season Baltimore Symphony Group Now Rehearsing For Second Season BALTIMORE, Md. — Plans now are nearing completion and rehearsals are being held for the second annual concert in February by the Negro Symphony Orchestra, the only organization of its kind in this country. The concert will be held in the auditorium of the Douglass high school. Will Seek City Aid Although not under municipal control, the orchestra is seeking $1,500 in the city's music budget. The money would be used to defray expenses of concerts to be given at assemblies in the colored schools throughout the city. These concert, beginnig at 9 a.m., and continuing an hour, would be recognized as a major activity in the school course. Similar concerts are given in the white schools by the Baltimore Symphony orchestra. Organized Last Year The orchestra, under the baton of Charles L. Harris, Negro, was organized last year when attention of white music patrons was called to the support given the white orchestra by Negroes. A Baltimorean contributed $1,000 to finance the Negro orchestra in its infant strides and promised more, if needed.

C. — Expressing his appreciation to Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary, National Urban league, of the readiness of the Urban league to assist the President's Emergency committee for employment through its Department of Industrial Relations and its branch organizations in forty industrial centers, Colonel Arthur Woods, chairman of the president's committee has appointed T. Arnold Hill of the National Urban league as "laison officer between the committee and the interests of the colored people in the present emergency." The Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban league of which Mr. Hill is the director, has been engaged in a heroic effort to stem the tide of unemployment among Negroes. Through the nation-wide organization of the Urban league, it has maintained a persistent and intensive campaign even before the present unemployment crisis occurred to improve the condition of Negro workers. Through the department of research, headed by Ira De A. Reid, it has been able to tabulate the amount of unemployment among Negroes and to launch a constructive program for its relief. The appointment of T. Arnold Hill to assist the president's committee is a timely recognition of the Negro worker on the part of the president's committee for employment and should be a surety against discrimination in the relief measures which the committee has inaugurated.

PAGE SIX Hand Phillips 6-0 Drubbing; To Louisville Hand Phillips 6-0 Drubbing; To Louisville Roosevelt Reserves Win Game; Team Plays '29 Prep Champions Starting his shock troops against the football team from Wendell Phillips high school in a charity game played last Saturday afternoon at Gleason field, Coach Cooke had the game sewed up in the first quarter when Smith plunged across from the two yard line for the game's only score. The score came as the result of a 60 yard march. Smith and trailer bore the brunt of the attack. The Phillips boys were momentarily weakened and tightened only after the six points had been made by the local boys. A third quarter drive by the visitors brought Roosevelts' regulars into the game and they successfully halted Phillips' scoring threat. In the last few seconds of play, Trailer intercepted an enemy pass and ran to the one yard line where he stumbled and fell. The game ended before Roosevelt could lug the ball across for an additional touchdown. The local grid team left Wednesday for Louisville where they were to play the high school of that city Thanksgiving. Last year the Kentuckians claimed the national prep title. This year they have been defeated only by Crispus Attuucks of Indianapolis, who held them scoreless while doing so.

Therefore it is very essential to rid the body toxins which eliminate through the pores of the body, the urine and bowels, then nature's machinery is ready to do her work in a natural way, putting forth rich, red, healthy blood flowing throughout the entire system, and health is restored. DR. MICHAEL'S ALL-HERB, TONIC imparts making and building qualities to the blood. ASK YOUR DRUGGIST Fort Wayne 'All-Hi' Has 2 Negro Stars Central High Gridsters Draw Much Praise FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Two colplayers on the Central high school football team here, Al Jennings, end, and Nathaniel Buggs, halfback, were named on the all-City grid team picked by Ben Tenny, sports editor of the News-Sentinel, and coaches of the four high schools. Commenting on the players picked, Teny had the following to say: "Buggs was an easy choice for a halfback post. This boy has everything in the way of natural ability, speed, power and weight and used them to good advantage. He could do anything well and performed most of his duties sensationally. We doubt if anyone would question our statement that he was the season's outstanding star and that's saying a lot. "Jennings was the outstanding end of a fairly poor lot. He was brilliant at all times and could do everything a coach would desire of a wingman as well as carry the ball if necessary. Stauffer also stood out in a strong line and, like Jennings, was a unanimous choice." Crispus Attucks in Another Win, 33-6 E. St. Louis Hi Scores Against Capital Boys INDIANAPOLIS. — Crispus Attucks registered a 33 to 6 victory over Lincoln high school of East St. Louis, Ill., at Pennsy park Saturday. Myers, Rice and Bigsby scored touchdowns for the locals on line plunges. Stratton tallied on an end run. A pass, Bigsby to Ransom, accounted for the other marker. Bigsby kicked the three extra points. The Crispus Attucks reserves drubbed the Henderson (Ky.) eleven, 27 to 0, at the Pennsy field, before hte first team game. The Tigers had little difficulty in tallying with J. Brown, Modelyn, Dalton and Dunn scoring the points. Lower-Merritt DECORATING CO.

WORK GUARANTEED Cardinals and Memphis Play Without 'Duke' Star Tackle Kept Out of Game with Grid Team from Dixie CHICAGO — (ANP) — On the Southside of Chicago where Comiskey park, the home of the White Sox, is located, there plays a professional football team which the Negro residents have come almost to regard as their own. The team is the Chicago Cardinals, led by Ernie Nevers, which Sunday a week ago, arose in its might and trounced the championship Green Bay Packers, undefeated in three years by a league team. But the pride of the colored fans had been swelled by the exploits of one of their own, Duke Slater, who, a few years ago, while playing in Iowa, qualified as an all-American tackle. Slater, for several years, has been a lion in attack for the Cardinals. In the game with the Green Bay Packers, he stopped the famous Bo Molenda, all-American from the University of Michigan, dead in his tracks, not once but several times, and the way in which he opened up holes for Ernie Nevers to dance his way through was a caution. Big, kindly Duke also does most of the kicking off for the Cardinal team. Thus it was with something more than hope that the colored fans looked forward to yesterday's game with the Memphis Tigers. The Tigers are a strong, fast team, and although they represent a southern city, some of their players are from other sections. Naturally, the colored fans wanted to see what their hero was going to do against the "Big Men" from the South.

When the lineups were published in the Saturday papers, it was observed that a Nordic had been placed in the gentle, but powerful Duke's position. It might have been thought that a mistake had been made, for the Duke is a regular, and how! But there was no mistake. The Duke was just left out. Of course, the Duke will be able to say nothing. The Tigers are not a professional league team and Duke obtains his three squares a day by tackling the league teams. He can be easily persuaded that the demolition of this outlaw team was no job of "his'n." But the fans to whom Duke is a hero and who, after all, are good old Americans, too, had a sort of sickly feeling at the stomach when they realized that here again the good old north had yielded to the rampant south and slapped a fellow citizen in his face and pride. They may say that Duke had a bum leg, but, leg or no leg, he did not play. Incidentally, the Cardinals, through forward passes, won the game, 20-7. Mr. Nevers did the kicking off.

He picked and sacked 275 sacks of potatoes, totaling 280 bushels in $ 9 \frac{1}{2} $ hours. Buy now and help bring prosperity back. Read The American.

PAGE SEVEN Howard Meets 17 Land Grant College Heads Those Attending Annual Confab Introduced in University Chapel WASHINGTON, D. C. — Seventeen land-grant college presidents here in attendance upon their annual conference, were presented to the students and faculty of Howard university at a special assembly in Andrew Rankin chapel on Tuesday. President W. J. Hale of Tennessee State college and winner of the Harmon award for achievement in education last year acted as master of ceremonies. Each of the presidents was introduced and conveyed greetings on behalf of their respective institutions. Education Improvement The key note of their addresses was the improvement in educational facilities provided Negroes in the several southern states. President Mordecai W. Johnson expressed greetings to the visiting presidents on behalf of Howard university, and commended them in terms of highest praise for their remarkable achievements. Musical selections were given by Miss Ethyl B. Wise and Miss Louise Burge. The service closed with the singing of Alma Mater. Following the chapel exercises the guests were entertained by the university at luncheon in the Trustees' dining hall with the deans and administrative officers. The opening session of the conference was held Monday evening in Library hall, where President W. J. Hale presided. Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson delivered the address of welcome, with responses by Presidents J. H. E. Lee, J. S. Clark, John W. Davis, and R. S. Wilkinson. Reports of committees followed music by the glee club. Those Present Presidents who visited Howard university were: J. E. Drake, Atlanta A. & M. Institute; J. B. Watson, Arkansas State college; R. S. Crossley, Delaware State college; J. R. F. Lee, Florida A. & M. college; Benj. F. Hubert, Georgia State Industrial college; R. B. Atwood, Kentucky Normal and Industrial college; J. S. Clark, Southern university, Louisiana; T. H. Kiah, Princess Anne academy, Maryland; L. J. Rowan, Alcorn A. & M. college, Miss.; F. D. Bluford, A. & T. college, N. C.; Z. T. Hubert, Agricultural and Normal university, Oklahoma; R. S. Wilkinson, S. C. State college; W. J. Hale, Tenn. State college; W. R. Banks, Prairie View State college, Texas; John W. Davis, West Va. State college; and C. C. Richardson, Kansas Vocational school. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur and other prominent men in the educational field addressed the conference at sessions held in the auditorium of the department of the interior. Student Will Begin Negro Press Survey Thesis on Historical and Economic Sides of A survey of Negro newspapers as productive business enterprises is being carried on as a basis for a thesis by a senior student in the School of Journalism of the University of Wisconsin, according to information received by the United States Department of Commerce. The thesis, according to information reaching the Department, will pay some attention to the historical background of the Negro press; but will concern itself chiefly with types of papers, circulation growth, extent of distribution, physical value of newspaper properties, and value of papers as advertising media. Send Questionnaire The facts for the survey are being gathered through a questionnaire sent to 127 Negro weeklies and by a critical analysis and classification of the publication. Similar surveys conducted from time to time in regard to small dailles and weeklies in several parts of the country have produced a mass of facts which have subsequently been used very profitably by the individual papers. When completed this survey should be of service to those interested in the Negro market. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE In the Lake Superior Court, Gary, November term, 1930.

"The Gary American enters the field without malice or envy toward anyone; it has no axe to grind, neither has it anyone to punish; it has but one aim, to which it will cling with pious devotion, and that is to stand squarely in defense of the rights of the black American."—Prospectus of The Gary American Number One, November 10, 1927. VOL IV. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1930 No. 2 A Time for Giving COLD: biting and bitter. . . . The wolf of hunger, gnawing, gnawing. . . It's flesh and blood against the naked steel of want. Children crying, mothers helpless, fathers desperate, the grey beasts of privation creeping into homes that never knew them before. Who could know the terror of a home without food or fuel or clothing with the icy blasts of winter already here and not in his heart be moved to help? The calamity of all Gary is this period of financial depression which has left 2,000 of our race facing the greatest crisis of their existence. Whether things will come out all right or whether they shall starve and freeze to death depends upon the more fortunate people here in Gary. For many years the Negro has depended upon whites for his charity. For many years the whites have given — and have thought the Negro a dependent child. Is it not time that we grew to manhood and helped those bound to us by the ties of race? Perhaps it may be your neighbor who is face to face with the black hopelessness of utter need. Do you know? There are few of us with steady employment who cannot afford to give either money or clothing to help those who have neither work nor money. Imagine yourself, when you dig into your pockets to contribute to The American's Relief Fund, with neither heat nor food nor sufficient dress. Imagine yourself going from freezing air to a home which has only the warmth coming from being walled in. Imagine yourself and your family feeling the fangs of a tearing hunger and you powerless to prevent it. And imagine, as a final evil, the prospect of freezing and starving for a whole winter with the warmth of spring and summer and the possibility of work opening up many months in the misty future. Blessed is he who will never know the naked steel of want. Twice blessed is he who gives to lessen the suffering of its victims — his fellowman. Blocking Justice in Marion D. CLAWSON, Circuit court judge down in Grant county, scene of last August's lynching, is perhaps the state's outstanding example of inefficiency on the bench. He has constantly attempted to block all efforts to bring those charged with guilt in the atrocious crime to trial. In August when it was first planned to launch an investigation into the mobbing, Clawson refused to lend his aid on the ground that "the grand jury could take care of it in better fashion." That this same grand jury returned an indictment against Cameron, who escaped the death of Shipp and Smith, and exonerated Sheriff Jacob Campbell while complimenting him is now a matter of history. Their quiz on the lynching was little more than travesty. When Attorney General James Ogden, disgusted at the grand jury's findings, filed affidavits against seven men and Sheriff Campbell several weeks ago, Judge Clawson immediately set the sheriff free on his own cognizance, stating that he did not consider charges of neglect of duty and incompetence in office a basis for criminal action. Those arrested as leaders have been held in bonds of $2,000 although they were accused in the murder of Shipp and Smith. Last week when the four arrested were arraigned before Judge Clawson, he refused to set a date for their trials, claiming that he had other cases "more important." Judging purely from his actions, it seems as if the Grant County juror was with the lynchers in spirit if not in body on that night in August. The power of his office and position has been wielded as a bludgeon in defense of accused murderers. All of his actions thus far in the case have been calculated to hinder the steps of justice. Clawson might go over in a big way down on the semi-civilized frontiers of Mississippi or in the mountain fastnesses of Arkansas where they still recruit young white bucks for the Civil War. There the most successful officials are those who can devise the most ways to inconvenience Negroes and pervert justice against them. At the present time Indiana, although she has fallen mighty low, has not quite dropped to such depths. Many of the best thinking Caucasians of Marion have been leaders in the fight to bring about the punishment of the mob leaders. Clawson by his actions is merely filling his own pathway with boulders. Ogden once signified his intention of having the trial changed from Marion to a community where justice might be more nearly rendered. It will be difficult enough to secure a conviction at best, but if Judge Clawson hears the cases as he might it will but a waste of Ogden's time. Embree Exhumes a Fallacy STRANGE as it may seem, Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald fund, is credited with exhuming and seeking to revive the hoary fallacy that "the best friend of the Negro is the Southern white man." It happened in Virginia last week at the dedication of the 5,000th Rosenwald school. Embree further said that Rosenwald had contributed $4,000,000, the Negroes $4,500,-000, and $14,000,000 had been appropriated out of tax money. He reminded his listeners that it was not easy for men who were once masters, to "help support, with their own tax money, hospitals and schools for people who were once their slaves." We believed that such ideas had, in the minds of intelligent men, perished many years ago. The Fallacy of the Tax is ages old and has been boiled in oil many times. Now it raises its head again in company with a man who has been the great Jewish philanthropist's agent in breaking down more ignorance than any other private medium in the South. Everybody knows that in Dixie the Negro contributes a huge portion of the tax money. If not paid in direct, he produces it for the land owners. But in either case, he is responsible. What he gets for education is only a fraction of what he pays and the few millions spent on hospitals and schools still leaves the white South the winner financially. We cannot believe that Rosenwald himself holds any such ideas. His record is one of the biggest proofs that the Southern white man is not the Negro's best friend. The Chicago millionaire stands head and shoulders above all others who have contributed financially to the advancement of the Negro. We hope that Rosenwald himself will take note of the ancient ideas as expressed by Embree and will see that they are not aired again. It would be an insult to the Negro to aid him financially and then tell him that his best friend is the Southern white. Other Papers Say CONGRATULATIONS TO THE AMERICAN (The Florida Sentinel) The Gary American of Gary, Indiana, manned largely by a competent staff of young men, has just installed a Goss CoxO-Type Newspaper press and announces that $25,000 will be spent in fully equipping a plant with machinery and other essentials necessary for the successful publication of a first-class newspaper. It also announced that an entire building has been taken over, refurnished and decorated to house the main offices of the newspaper. It is rare that young men in their twenties have the vision and ability to go forward with such a far reaching program as the staff of the Gary American are undertaking. The staff is perhaps the youngest now operating a newspaper. Chauncey Townsend, editor, a graduate in journalism of the University of Southern California, is 26. F. Marshall Davis, managing editor, and a former student in Journalism at Kansas State College, is 24. Rudolf Jonson, 28, city Editor, is from the University of Minnesota, while Booker Thomas, business manager, is 22. These young men, and those associated with them, have an excellent opportunity to render some useful service to the citizens of Indiana as well as to point a new course to follow for Negro journalism. The road is not strewn with flowers, and sooner or later these young men are going to learn that they may expect very little from the men who have set themselves up as leaders among the people. From among the lowly and the folk who really mean what they say and practice what they preach will come the support of the Gary American as many Negro publishers can readily testify today. The Sentinel wishes for the Gary American a successful and serviceable journey along the highway of journalistic vicissitudes.

Then they dust off a few handy and hoary platitudes about "makin' a fool of yourself for the white man" and try their best to see that he starves along with them. This failure of our race to get behind such comedians as Miller and Lyles and others probably accounts for the fact that two white men are getting almost fabulous salaries to dish out stuff which hundreds of our race could put over with even greater success.

Mitchell Next Monday Congress will convene in Washington to hold the short session of the Seventy-first Congress. Although the recent elections will not affect the personner of this short session, never-the-less OUR represenattive, the Honorable Oscar De Priest, will have the spotlight of the nation focused upon him, due to his recent political victory at the polls in spite of his break with the powers who were presumed to be the controlling and dominant factor in his immediate district. From a great many sources suggestions have emanated as to just what GUR Congressman should and could do in his congressional capacity at Washington. Some of these suggestion proponents apparently forget that our representative is but one of four-hundred and thirty-five and while it may be true that when the Seventy-second Congress convenes one vote, used as a wedge to "force" legislation, may be a deciding factor, it is even then doubtful if he could accomplish, even if desirable, all that has been suggested that he should do. Speaking from a racial viewpoint there is no evil affecting our group which can be adequately adjusted by a mere passage of a bill. There are many laws now in existence, both state and national, which have been passed as a sop to our vanity but one has only to observe conditions as they actually exist to recognize the ineffectiveness of these laws. Of course from a party stand-point it may prove a "vote-getting" gesture to advocate the passage, or even to pass, bills that may have a peculiar appeal. Their effectiveness, however, is an entirely different matter. Legislation enacted merely as a penalty for an offense does not necessarily correct the evil. As a race we shroud realize this. In certain parts of the country our activities are more curtailed and restricted than they were fifty years ago, still there are laws against the practice. In this writer's humble opinion it would seem far more expedient if OUR Congressman would use his vote and influence, if he is to "jockey" or "barter" same, to secure an alignment with those controlling the hundreds of millions of dollars which have to be appropriated at each session for annual expenditures, etc., and then with such influence see to it that our group will proportionately share in the fruits of these expenditures. It seems that along these lines there is a wonderful opportunity for real constructive and economic service and our race nationally as well as the first congressional district of Illinois will be the gainer. Seemingly, as a race, we tolerate being starved to death by the thousands, economically speaking, and do nothing practical to combat the situation, but let them lynch one of our numbers, no matter how heinous the crime that may or may not have been committed, and we get all excited and immediately clamor for something to be done, whether it is a practical or effective solution, apparently does not matter, just as long as its action, yet, for the thousand who are being starved to death, nothing is done. ```markdown ``` As a race of people there are none more practical than the Jews and none has been more persecuted and to those who claim that we can't do this or can't do that because we are in the minority we would suggest that they study the methods of the Jews. Being in the minority does not mean remaining at the bottom. It is quite frequent that those in the minority hold the "whip" hand by concentrating upon the things or condition that affect the majority the greatest. The Jews apply this psychology in everything they do and they make themselves and what they possess indispensable and on this basis they can demand and receive every consideration regardless of the personal feelings or prejudices that individuals may have against them. It is this psychology that accounts for a foreigner, regardless of his race or color of skin, who can come to this country and secure consideration and the respect of individual rights, that we, born and bred here, cannot and do not receive en masse. When we learn to effectively control that which others want, whether it is our votes, labor, dollars, good-will or whatnot, then we can demand and receive our rights accordingly and this does not mean that all we have to do is to join one political party, one labor organization or to invest in one particular finance corporation but it does mean to align ourselves with those interests that are best fitted to help us in a practical and concrete manner. Our Congressman cannot solve all of our troubles but he can align himself with those who can render us the most useful aid in bettering our conditions of life. "Anti" legislation will bring him glaring headlines but a constructive "for" policy will gain for him power and influence. 3 Children Keep Their Mother Out of the Jail BEAUMONT, Tex. — (ANP) — Judge Allen Cox of federal court was faced with the necessity of suspending a fine of $100 assessed against Rachel Gage, when the jailer at the police station refused to admit the defendant's three babies, ranging in ages from six months to two years. Mrs. Gage was fined for selling liquor. In lieu of the funds she was ready to begin service in jail. J. C. Abernathy, deputy United States marshal, who took the woman to jail, returned to the court room and put the question before the court, with the result that the fine was suspended. November 29, 1936 Pertinent Paragraphs Pertinent Paragraphs By Rudolf Jonson Kelly Miller and Prohibition. The dean of Howard university scores again when he advises the Negro to "align with prohibition" if he would wish to "get into politics." He gives out this bit of information during a recent interview in Washington, when he was asked to express himself on the plight of the Negro in politics. It seems to me that the columnist-dean cannot remember what he has said before, long enough to make his view coincide. Shortly before the recent election, in one of his syndicated releases, Dean Miller was responsible for the statement that prohibition is not an issue in the election and especially where the Negro vote was concerned." The week after the election, when the wets had made such commanding gains in the house and senate, his release was filled with "I told you so." Now the dean comes forward to "speak his piece" again and this time he says that prohibition is the issue, "and, of course, the wets will want the Negro vote and will pay more for it than the drys, if that is what he is after. But the Negro is supposed to be on the moral side of every issue" presumably, because "the weaker vessel is always supposed to be on the moral side." The Howard dean is a staunch Republican. Prior to the election he could say nothing but "Republicans—Republicans—Republicans," disregarding the prohibition question. After the election he could not resist the temptation to "get on the band wagon," at least for a week. Now he is trying to defend his staid views on Republicanism by saying it is the moral side, and the Negro as the "weaker vessel" be longs on the moral side.

The short session of the 71st congress will be called to order at noon Tuesday. The "lame ducks" will have a chance to vote on questions of public interest, even though their constituents have decided that they are wanted no more. And because of the number of changes as the last election, there will be quite a number of disgruntled "lame ducks" who will wrangle in Washington until midnight on next March 3. There has been a resolution before congress a number of times to rid the country of that evil of legislation. It, the Norris resolution, introduced by Senator Norris of Nebraska provides that the term of office of congressmen shall automatically expire with the close of congress in the June prior to the November elections in which they are to be voted upon. And that the term of these new members shall begin with the December congress following their elections, instead of waiting until the December congress of the next year thirteen months later. Time and time again this measure has been presented, and time and time again it has been defeated. It is a mystery to me why the legislative fathers have failed to remedy this antiquated law on the statute books. This is one idea offered as a solution: they are afraid to pass a law to curb some of their high-handedness, and then possibly be the first to feel the effects thereof. Under the present law they hold a "whip-hand" over their constituents for three months after their defeat. Pressure should be brought to bear on those prohibiting the passage of this law.

Another Religious Investigation. Although the National Baptist convention has reigned supreme for years in disagreeing over their finances, they seemingly are now being challenged by the Methodist Episcopal church. Last week in Cleveland, Rev. I. Garland Penn Jr., of Columbus, superintendent of the Ohio district of the Lexington conference, was suspended by a board of elders. According to the reports of the board of elders, the Rev. Mr. Penn was suspended because of his accounts in handling $900 of building fund money belonging to the Centenary Methodist church of Youngstown, Ohio. The original complaint charged mis-appropriation, but it is reported that the Rev. Mr. Penn refunded the money. Even though the committee appointed to investigate the affair accepted the money and sent a letter of exoneration of Rev. Mr. Penn to Bishop Clair of the Covington area, Bishop Clair is said to have recalled the committee, instituted another investigation and subsequently suspended Rev. Mr. Penn. The last note on this trouble has not been heard. Many investigations, charges and counter charges, and even suit may result from the action taken thus far. Many inside secrets concerning the handling of the finance of the Methodist Epicopal church may be revealed, and we hope nothing serious happens; such as is thought to have happened in the Baptist denomination, in the death of Auditor Edward D. Pierson. But the thought is being driven home to the lay man each day that there is too much "churchianity" and no enough christianity.
