Walker Manufacturing Company, which owns and operates a $1,900,000 building in the downtown section of Indianapolis, this city possesses some outstanding business men and has several enterprises which have had great impact on the Negro race.

Mr. Seuber is a clerk in the Indianapolis postoffice, while his spouse is a splendid cook and housewife, and before we had been in their home one day it seemed that we had known them for years. They were thoroughly democratic, and Mrs. Seuber's father, Hörry D., Moseby, former resident of Harrisburg, Kentucky, is a very interesting and entertaining character. Though the weight of 71 years lasts over him and despite the fact that he has resided in this city since 1885, Mr. Moseby still possesses a keen mind and is very alert and active for a man his age. We feel indebted to the local committees for assigning us to the home of such fine and congenial people. The rolling stock and equipment of this Negro concern are said to represent fully $135,000. The Purity Milk Co., operating a modern plant, buying, bottling and selling pasteurized milk throughout the city, is doing a thriving business. There are many stores and stores. Maseby, of the Co., makes of White Duck clothing for 39 years, supplying soda fountains, cafes, drug stores and restaurants with high grade white duck clothes.

The local union of the International Cement Finisher has in course of construction a modern building which will cost $150,000. Trinity Hall, costing $200,000, is a complete building, erected by a local Masonic lodge boasting of 600 members.

Marshall, Texas—The election of Joseph J. Holehack, formerly principal of the Bocker T.

St. Louis, Mo., having withdrawn from the race for the 1931 supreme lodge, Boston, Mass., was chosen as the next convention city. The second convention was based here. Aside from the four accredited supreme representatives—Grand Chancellor L. B. Kinechion, Grand Vice-Chancellor A. S. Jackson, Grand Attorney A. S. Wells and Grand Master J. W. W. W. was the first president of the encampment by three companies and one regimental brass band; several delegates to the Dokey conclave, as well as the supreme body of the Court of Justice, was called upon by Mr. J. E. W. W. to be led by Mrs. F. K. McPherson of Gainsville, grand worthy counselor of the Lone Star State Calantheans.

Texas stood among the leaders in this respect. The 18th and 19th-century leaders, was quite a favorite at the camp and along the line of march during the biennial street pageant, which was a very colorful event, with Pythians and Calantheans from all sides. Most of the time was consumed "cussing" and discussing the national Pythian Temple at Chicago, which is about completed, but which cost considerably more than originally planned, and which at this late date is not yet in the hands of the General.

Dekina and Daughters of Owen held their sessions in the Pythian Temple, Senate and Walnut, where headquarters were maintained by the Indianapolis enclosure was held at the Indiana State Fair grounds, one of the largest COHEN IS ADVISED BY GOOD FRIENDS TO DECLINE POST New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Walter Cohen, comptroller of customs at this port, who holds the only outstanding federal position in the entire South, has been recommended by Emile Kuntz, republican national committeeman and the recognized Republican organization in Louisiana to be minister to Liberia. The post was made vacant by the recent death of Minister W. T. Francis, who succumbed to the rigors of the African climate. The promptness with which the Pelican Republicans grasped the opportunity to honor Mr. Cohen, is being viewed with suspicion by his friends. The opinion prevails here that what the white Republicans of the party are to get Cohen out of the way so that they can appoint a white man in his place in the customs house here. The idea of a Negro occupying the prominent place of comptroller is repugnant to them. Therefore, they conceived the idea that it would be a fine piece of strategy to kick him up the ladder to a diplomatic post in far off Africa. Cohen is said to have placed himself in the hands of his friends for advice. He went to Indianapolis to attend the National Negro Business League, where he conferred with Dr. Robert R. H. and other leaders in attendance. The voiced was that he must not accept it was pointed out that this chief political post occupied by a Negro is the South, must not be lost and that the race would have but one job in stand of two if the transfer was made for it is certain the only way of Lowering will never be made. FINAL NUMBER 15 At Nations To Witness Holstein Clash An officer with his books and records does not ordinarily create any excitement, but in this instance, this treasurer had been ordered by the grand exalted ruler to turn his books over to the office of the chief and according to reports consider himself on the outside. In seems that the letter ordering Mr. Martin, who several days ago issued a statement charging that his records showed that the general fund of the order were in terrible shape, due to rash spending on the part of the administration and disclosed other irregularities, arrived at. Please after Mr. Martin had departed the convention. Thus he was not in position to comply with his chief's orders. Orders Suspension of Chicago Lodge The grand exalted ruler, not only ordered the suspension of the great treasurer, but also suspended the two Chicago lodges, Fort Desbarra, of which Mr. Martin is exalted ruler, and Great Lakes, both of which have endorsed the candidacy of Holstein. The grounds for suspension were, that the lodges had not paid their April tax. The Chicagoans declare that his action is not valid since the constitution provides that a lodge must be six months in arrears before it can be suspended. Grand Exalted Wilson's enemy has countered by seeking an injunction against him which they have would prevent his serving as protesting officer. These various maneuvers show how desperately the two factions are fighting. Sheridan Brusseaux, Chicago detective, who first the first shot at Wilson, seems to have been sidetracked by the Holstein faction and is reported to be sulking because of what he terms inadequate compensation. There is little brotherly love in the ranks of the order as they go to hat in the annual session and there are constant rumors and rumbling of war. Heads are down and horns are up ready for battle.

Dr. Moton is said to have expressed the opinion President Hoover has no power to permit him to be molested unless Mr. Cohen himself dishonorable to him. Mr. Cohen should stand by his grun in New Orleans. R. R. Church and Mr. Cohen should be to be opposed to his making the change. An interesting phase of the alteration making the change is the fact that the two Democrats sent their representatives to the Cohen office. PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS BY ALGENON R. JACKSON, M. D. (The Association for Negroes in Negro Health) work very clearly the value of public health and what it has to do make us human beings of the present day of life and death. It relates to the effect of numerous elements, the cleaners of bathing beaches and streams, matters of water supplies, the cleaners of milk, the use of antitoxins and approved laboratory facilities for diagnosis of activities taken collectively to present professional public health work. Public health workers include many groups. This is shown by the fact that the Association for Negroes in Negro Health has nine sections of specialists who annually conduct separate It is recognized that team work is necessary. It is futile to proceed without cooperation and coordination of effort on the part of the administrative health officer, the laboratory worker, the diagnostician, the static tiction, the sanitary inspector, the sanitary engineer, the nurse, and the medical group both with respect to preventive and curative medicine. It is futile to say that this group of public health workers is of outstanding importance to the exclusion of other groups. There is work for all groups and it is gratifying to see the progress made in welding them into a great organization, which for some forty years has included Canada, Mexico and Cuba. It is a pertinent question to inquire what have been the accomplishments of these steps which go to make up the modern public health movement. The easiest way to state that is that fifty years ago the life expectancy of a child born under ordinary conditions was about 41 years. Activities in the public health field and in preventive and curative medicine together with the generally higher standard of living have increased this expectancy some fifteen years. It is a real substantial gain when we are able to say that in half a century our life expectancy has been increased to this extent. No longer do people in our country live in dread of Asiatic cholera, typhoid fever, or pernicious malaria. There has been a shift from typhoid fever, diarrhea and other diseases known to be water-borne to cases with different diseases and causes with different diseases and causes.

C.—(ANP—James Nelson, who is termed a "slick Negro" in these parts, devised a little game which was very successful and netted him much profit from white farmers, but failed miserably when he attempted to work it on "one of his own" and as a result Nelson is now in jail. The little game worked something like this: Nelson would go to the city market where farmers brought their produce and approach one of the farmers who had watermelons for sale and advise him that he had a sale. The farmer would then follow Nelson with his load of melons to the designated place, where again Nelson would advise him that the purchaser was in the back and to go in and see him. While the unsuspecting farmer was on the inside seeking the buyer, Nelson would drive off with the melons, sell them elsewhere and leave the car in some convenient alley. Several times Friday, Nelson worked this trick and each time the victim was a white man. Finally, James Wright, one of "Nelson's own people," drove up with a truckload of fine melons. Nelson rushed up, told him of the sale and carried him to the purchaser. Everything went well until Wright looked back and saw his melons being driven off. He could not catch Nelson, but he made his way back to the market, found Nelson, and had him locked up. SHOT TO DEATH IN REVOLVER BATTLE New Orleans, 'La.—(ANP)—Rachael Jefferson is dead and Mrs. M.

Tells Harlemites New York City — (ANP) — Stop complaining and act, was the advice given to the notices, gave some 2,000 Hardhouses who gathered in the Abayanian Baptist Church to launch out into an explanation of how practical politics are played, and a jimmy to better conditions in your vote. Use it. Don’t complain about it. Don’t complain about practical politics. Change it by pulling the doorbell of every Negro voter when he opens it. Don’t complain that you have been “ Jimmy to you” as you have been is never the man to represent you. Don’t complain about being represented by those who are not of your race. Men only deserve political representation. Don’t ask for representation, take it. You can never get the representation until you can select Negroes of nerve and integrity. You can never get the representation until you can select Negroes of nerve and integrity. You can never get the representation until you can select Negroes of nerve and integrity. White men select Negroes they can control or buy. We will never get a square door until we are led by our leaders. "We have got to get beyond the hungry man is too easily bought." My advice is if white candidates take their money and beat them, too I wish some of them would try to apologize in the district for taking it free from them and send them to the dry cleaners. October one of my Negro opponents said my constituents had no business with them and too dark. My other opponent and I wasn't fit for election because I was not a black man and nominated my first candidate for appointment to West Point I picked the blackest boy I could find any "I am not lenomene down in Washoe." I can one help me down there."

We don't like to recall just how many years ago that conversation took place, but even at this distance the impression remains vivid. For years we remained wary of "lay over" as something sacred and per- bage dishonest, especially to meddles. Fixed as the idea was it later was replaced, when we learned anew something more of the ways and uses of leftovers, with a wholesome respect for the food stored away in refrigerator and pantry, after the meal. Americans suffer under the ob- loopy of being wasteful housewives. It is frequently said that a French family would grow fat on the waste food dumped into the garbage pails of the average American housewife. The I believe, is gross liberal. Certainly it is far less true today than 2. was before Herbert Hoover was PooC Administrator of the United States and set about the moment- our task of teaching household economy to some twenty million women. Economy is the aim in utilising influences, but to get the family to use them is the real test of the economy—and the test of the house- with. Custody becomes a higher art when meals are arranged so that the leftovers therefrom can be used in the preparation of dishes of unique and pleasing flavor.

The first visit to Chicago since 1827, when the Pythiaiana had their supreme lodge here, the city continue to grow and expand in the city.

While most of the barbershop swad-dle in Indianapolis concerns various makes of automobiles, the chief topic of conversation just now in the Windy City is the Chicago Cubs, National League baseball club, now costing some $1.2 million per circuit pennant since the World War II. The first time we practically "in" and it appears that their world series opponents will be Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. I saw the A's wallop the White Sox yesterday, 5-2, but the team was not impressive in its victory. The play-in was very little fire of order and exhibited a little baseball. It was the first game out of three won by the A's during their 1-game tilt against the lowly pale-hose team, which reminds one of a Texas League club, so many former players of the Lone Star State circuit being on the White Sox team, including the colorless A's, A's Shires, Metzler, Lyons, Adkins, Watwood. If the A's face the Cubs in the fall classic for premier baseball honors, their pitchers will have to stop the terrific mauling of Hornsby, Wilson, Stephenson, Cuyler, Grim et al., while the Athletic sluggers will face some real hurleders in Bush, Malone, Carlson, Blake & Co. Already the Windy City is cutting ready for this titular division and the� off the home games at Comiskey Park, home of American League team, because its seating capacity is larger than Wrightley Field, home of the National League team. This writer spent several hours in the Association of the Ambassadors of New York, an institute, director, where we met R.

Tildon, Jr., formerly of Fort Worth, now residents of this city, the latter being enroute to New York and New Jersey. Luckily for us, but perhaps unluckily for him, this writer ran into W. L. McCoy, Houstonian-Chicagoan, and his spouse, Saturday morning and he kindly tendered us the use of his new Chevrolet coupe, provided we did the driving. Well, not having driven in this fact,大多数 traffic offices were somewhat reluctant to accept the offer at first, and "Mac" realized at once our shyness along this line. However, he insisted that we use the car and keep it as long as we desired, and then rode three or four blocks to see how this driver got along. Undoubtedly the writer must have qualified, for "Mac" got out of the car at South Parkway and 44th, and told us to "go to it." Well, we got in that fast stream of automotive traffic on one of the fastest boulevards in the world, and after driving two� sechne blocks, the writer became quite "Chicago-ish" in his driving and hit a merry, merry gait down Parkway. Verily, the writer had qualified, and other traffic found it difficult to keep up with "Mac" Chevrolet as we sped towards the loop. (We are not bragging, but merely confessing.) We have a bunch of class andordinates and friends here and we are going to be here. We leave the Windy City. We saw Mrs. E. D. Pierson, Sr. at Saturday, in Atlantic City, that the Elks in fab, and E.

This committee having, by authority of the grand judge, secured the service of F. C. Taylor, a certified accountant of Beaumont, Texas, to and did the books of the grand secretary's office. The same was done and the report was submitted and approved by the officers and members seconded. Mr. Taylor's report showed that the difference between the grand lodge auditing committee and the grand secretary at Beaumont, Texas, July 22, 1929, was due to the fact that the grand trustees and auditing committee did not take into account the total expenditures of the grand lodge for the grand lodge year 1929-1929, as is now revealed in the audit made by Mr. Taylor. Everybody is happy in the thought that all is well with the grand lodge and the jurisdiction is safe and secure in all of its finance and investments and the grand lodge chased with a prayer for all revival with the membership and for an increase of membership in every lodge and temple in the jurisdiction, as the slogan for 1929-1930. In accord with a resolution adopted in the last grand lodge, Prof. C. H. McGruder was reflected to succeed himself as grand secretary of the grand lodge of the U. B. P. of Texas.

A ready scribe (v. 6). He was a teacher of the law of God, for twenty years, but he did not enter upon his official duties till thirty years of age, giving him seventeen years of his life. 3. His high ambition (v. 7-10). (1) He set his heart to seek the law of the Lord (v. 10). He definitely set out with the purpose to know God's word. No one who purposes in his heart to seek the law of the Lord can fail. (2) He set his heart to obey the Lord (v. 10). He was not only concerned with knowing God's word, but obeying it. God's word cannot be known in its fullness by the intellect; it must be experienced. (3) He set his heart to teach in Israel God's statutes and judgments (v. 10). He not only had a love for God's word, but a desire to implant it in the hearts of others. H. Exra's Commission (7:11-26). Artaxcrzes, the king, gave him a copy of the decree, authorizing him to lead a company back to Jerusalem. This decree empowered him: 1. To collect funds (v. 15, 16). 2. To levy tribute (v. 21, 22). 3. To appoint magistrates and judges (v. 25). 4. To execute penalties (v. 26). For this great favor Exra lifted his heart to God in thanksgiving (v. 27, 28). H. The Company Which Returned (8:1-30). The company was comparatively small—only seventeen hundred and seventy children and servants who perhaps pledge x.2 or seven thousand people the Lazar's Prayer and Fasting (8:21-23). The first thing that Kzid was did to seek God's guidance. All Christians can be realigned with help and should seek divine guidance and help in every new undertaking. No success can be realized without help and guidance. Lazar's help was that as far as possible he desired his mission to be free from the dangers of the world and to minimize the dangers attending his journey, but since he had assured the king that the band of the Lord would be free from the dangers, he was now ashamed to ask the king for a military escort to protect them. Lazar's sword was to prove to the king the reality of God's help, for God's honor among the beasts was at stake. This realization of faith, but God was faithful. V. The Successful Journey (8:24) God heard their prayer. The treasure entrusted to them was great. Perfet was sacred. The sacred utensils was sacred. The dollars were five million dollars. For a small caravan carrying such an amount of money to go to Jerusalem, hands was more perilous, but Erna knew that God was able and would protect them. observe (24, 29) The money was weighted into them at the start and was to be weighted into Jerusalem. The incentive to hone and strict accounting of the trust was that they were body and mind, and the body because it belonged to God. Most exciting care should be exercised in bringing the soldier off (21, 32). Some four and one half months were required to make the journey. God gave the soldier this proof that he is faithful to those who put their trust in Him. God's Answer Not Always Yet A little girl had been invited to a baptism, but she prayed for time weather and a happy life. Lift on the morning of the baptism she felt well-behaved. Instead of coming in the fields she stood looking out on a desolated landscape. "They prayed for me and God has answered my prayers but He!" "Oh yes, she has mother!" she said the next day.

Be guided by the jewel committee of the Temple of which Mrs. Cordelia Dainow in Negroes Whipped; Officers Jailed; Klansmen Flayed New Orleans, La.—(ANP) The theory that the Negro never gets justice in a Louisiana court when he complains against a white man seems to have been affirmed by the Dauphin, when two influential white citizens of Elmo were convicted of whipping Negroes and sentenced to jail terms. One of the accused had been town marshal for eight years. The other had been a high enforcement officer. The other was an aged Negro for violation of the traffic rules. The latter speaking impolytely to him, the highwayman took control of the town marshal, and gave him a whipping. The latter the Negro attempted to have the officer arrested for assault and battery. That man was a town marshal, that, with the town marshal, he proceeded to the Negro quarters in Elmo, where he was sympathizing with the victim. The case aroused much indignation. The court decided that an all-white jury, which promptly convicted both the town marshal and the judge, juried Judge Thomas F. Porter, J. sentenced one of the pair to jail for ten months and the other for five months. His honor said the evidence showed clearly a conspiracy had been entered into the district to make it all the more representable since the two men had been officers of the police. He said he would make it known that no klu kura practice in the district would be tolerant. RUSH ALLEGED ASSAILANT TO CHARLOTTE JAII Aiken, S. C.-(ANP)—In order to prevent a lynching, officers here rushed and Ernest Steadman, charged with killing a white man, to the state prison at Columbia, Thursday morning for safekeeping. Steadman is alleged to have confessed that he shot J. T. Fulmer, the white man during an argument over some money. According to his statement, Steadman went to Fulmer's home to collect some money and an argument began. Fulmer picked up an ax-handle, and struck him on the arm and over the head several times and he pulled his revolver and shot him, the bullet lodging in Fulmer's chest causing death a few minutes later. Fulmer's 11-year-old son, who witnessed the killing, told practically the same version of the shoting, declaring that his father had beaten the Negro and after being shot rushed in the house asking that water be poured on him. He died before his request could be granted. Il-feeling has existed between the two men for several months, according to neighbors and both were pre-for trouble Thursday morning. After the shooting, Steadman, who is rather well-to-do returned to his home where he was found by the police with plenty of evidence of having been beaten. When the news of the killing was circulated, relatives of the dead man must be allied to have threatened to kill the officers, members of the lynching which occurred here some years ago, which makes Alten the target of criticism and demeaning. The officers lost no time in rushing their prisoner to the state prison. RR.

For example, a year or so ago the glee club of the University of North Carolina in the course of a tour sang for the students at Hampton, a Negro school, and had the Hampton students in turn singing for them. Nobody in Tarhella gave the matter a thought until a perfectly appalling uproar broke loose around Newport News, and the dumb-founded Carolinians found themselves charged with encouraging social equality, stirring up the Niggers to revolt, and betraying the sacred principles of the Ku Klux Klan. If Hampton had been in Mississippi, none such reaction might not have been astonishing. But it is in Virginia! There are also to be considered the sporadic efforts to enact a bill ostensibly aimed at misconception, but which apparently would classify the descendants of Pocahontas with the descendants of Booker Washington. And there is the violent objection to the erection of a statue to Christopher Columbus in Richmond, presumably because Columbus was a non-Nordic and a Catholic.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—ROOSEVELT HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1929 39 CHANCES FOR WHAT? On more than one occasion it has been stated that by eminent Negro leaders that white men have 39 chances to every one that Negro men have. With this startling premise as a basis a rather gloomy picture has been painted; and in many instances despair has followed. To thoughtful members of the thus doomed group there ever recurs this natural question, "39 chances for what?" Those who have made the assertion have not undertaken much of an explanation, and the matter must, therefore, be approached independently. In the first place the question involved by implication that there is an object of desire which is common to both groups. Otherwise the statement that one group has 39 chances to the other's one has no meaning. In other words, the statement has meaning only when it concedes as a necessary implication that both groups have a philosophy which urges them on from present status to higher things. Any discussion of the question involved, them, must hinge around the chances which each group has in this evolutionary process. One or two matters should be clarified at the outset. The statement under discussion cannot be meant to apply to all white men as against all Negroes; for there are many of the latter, whose present status and future prospects, by any standard of our times, must be more to be desired than the present status and future prospects of the white man. The proposition that the common assertion that every white man has a chance to become rich or president of the United States is a false mockery, which is no doubt all too apparent to many members of the more fortunate group. Our discussion, therefore, must necessarily assume that the statement in question refers to 39 supposed chances of any one member of the white group as against the one supposed chances of any other member of the white situation. For, whether white or black, every man has problems enough; and in the final analysis the important thing is not how many chances one has, but what use he makes of the one or more chances which he does have. Let us consider a few simple cases. If the hypothetical Negro in question is a teacher, no man has more opportunities for improving an unideal situation. No man has more chances to be intellectually honest; no man has more opportunities for hard work, dependability, moral and spiritual fitness, and consecrated faith. If the hypothetical Negro very fact may open up opportunities to tap springs of moral and spiritual power, which in the end are makers and breakers of things physical. The thing that caused a Southern white man to say of Booker Washington that, with the exception of Robert E. Lee, he was the greatest man to come out of the South within a century, was not the fact that he had 39 chances to somebody one, but the unbounded creative usefulness which he brought out of his one chance to do his best in a most unideal situation. If the hypothetical Negro be a farmer or a laborer, no man has greater chances for integrity of purpose and to give an honest day's service at the task in hand. Not chances to say, "If I had a tractor," but opportunities to say, "With the help of God, I'll do my best with this old plow." So, in every walk of life, progress is not always measured by the heights on which we find a man, but often by the depths beyond the crumma. Not in every case by the number of chances which he has, but more often by the use he is making of what chances he does have. For us there is much that is worth in this philosophy of Glenn Frank: "Nearly all, if not all, sound progress is slow and orderly. History has not been made by vast and rapid changes. "Our present social condition is the child of a yesterday and the parent of a tomorrow. "What we are and do today, as an individual or as a social order, depends upon what we were and did yesterday and what tomorrow is being determined by what we are and do today. "There are no political, social and economic miracle men. "In fact there are few human problems to which there is an attribution in the sense of a formula that will forever close the case; and mankind will save itself from many disillusionments when it learns this. "The important thing is to see to it that a realization of the orderly graduality of progress does not cut the nerve of our initiative. We must play our role in a play that does not end the same evening; we must be big enough to work for a future we shall never see." As long as our leaders of today use their places of public trust for private gain, we must expect our tomorrow to bring corrup-tion. But in spite of this, we must also realize that, if others do have 39 chances where we have one, progress for us will depend not on how much we whine about the 39 chances of others, but what we do with the one great chance which has been given to us and with achievement of our mutual alliances. A NEGRO LOOKS AT POLITICS By JAMES WELDON JOHNSON I was once asked if the Negro in the South had accomplished anything in politics. I am negothet that he had at least furnished the South with its chief political issue. The fact is that the heir self is that chief political issue. Southern statesmen may make a pretense of talking national and world politics, but it is only a pretense, for the thoughts and actions of every politician in the Southern States are inexorably circular, interdiscited, shackled, handcuffed and muzzled by the onipresent Negro question. But the Negro as a political issue has now passed over the boundaries of the South and, in a degree, become national. He is a passive factor in both of the major parties. The Republican party doesn't want him, but finds it too much trouble to get rid of him. The Democratic party wants him, and uses the ingenuity and force it can command to the Negro. It is literally the bête noire of both parties. In the political game played on the national gridron he is the ball. He may see in various lights the political situation in which he thus finds himself, depending on his frame of mind. If angry, he may damn the whole bunk-shooting, lying, nefarious political business to help. If critical, he may gloot over the embarrassment of his own actions, and he may be forced to fraction out of the fact that he is the wrench that clogs the political machinery of a whole section of the nation; that he has made political hypocrites of men who would otherwise be ordinarily honest; that he has done more than any other factor at work to increase the number of people in the experiment in democracy. If humorous, he may see the whole business as a farce, and so smile or get a sour laugh out of the knowledge that America can't actually have any more democracy than it gives to him. But 99% of the Negroes in the United States do not look at the matter in any of these lights. Anger, fear, and the struggle to attain a goal that is necessary to fit survival. How did the Negro, starting after the Civil War with the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and the ballot, get where he is politically? Suppose we first find out where he is. There are approximately twelve million Negroes in the United States, which means that there are sixy million of voting age. Notwithstanding the twenty-sixth amendment, secures less through the ballot, not only in concrete results but also in himself as a voter, than any of all the groups that go to make up the American citizenry, though many of these groups are weaker numerically and economically. Despite his mass of numbers and his increase in education and wealth, he remains, in a positive sense, as near being a political zero as it is possible for a group of people in a country with anything that resembles a white population. He is not a politician because, in a negative sense, he has for a hundred years been a dominating political factor. How account for this condition of political impotency on the part of twelve million people, one-darth of the whole nation? The political condition of these people is the more vitally and pathetically interesting for the reason that they, above any other group, need whatever benefits the ballot is able to gain. Negro did start with the war amendment and the ballot, and did for a period hold considerable political power. In that period Negroes participated in the government of various states, and sent two senators and a score of representatives to congress. But within twenty years after enunciation, by means of corruption, a general box-toss stuffing and stealing, K. K. K. intimidation and a general shotgun and black-jack policy, the Negro vote had been rendered nugatory in every Southern State. At the beginning of the present century, by quasi-llegal expedients, the Negro in the South had been thrown back politically to about where he was in 1866. Inquiry into how he was disfranchised in the face of the explicit guarantees of the constitution opens up a limitless field for the student of the processes of democracy. It reveals a political cunning, a crafty circumvention and brazen defiance of fundamental laws that cannot be matched, I dare say, by any other country. He was a man of great generosity to Grande. And it shows what has for five generations been consuming the political sagacity of the South, the section which from the beginning of the country down to the Civil War furnished so large a proportion of the outstanding figures in national politics. Thus, starting with the administration of Hayes, the course of the Negro's political fortunes has been steadily downward; downward, until today the average Negro in the states of the old South is as voteless as a life-terror in the federal government. Now, the Negro in the South did not take his disfranchisement lying down. He put up a pretty good fight, but was overwhelmed by the forces against him. When the Southern whites regained control of the states of the former Confederacy they lost no time in serving notice on him that he would not be allowed to vote. However, he had great faith in his lately bestowed constitutional guarantees and went to the polls clothed in his rights of American citizenship. But he did not, by sheer luck, took his case into the courts, relying on that section of the fourteenth amendment which says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of his liberty, or properly threaten to deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." And that section of the fifteenth amendment which says: "The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude of the United States, but the court pointed out that he had failed to show that the state had abridged or denied his right to vote or that the persons who prevented him from voting had done so because of his race, color or previous condition of servitude. So the Negro, unable to prove that the committee which met at the polls with shotguns was actuated by any such base and unconstitutional motive, was acquitted of the charge in his fight to vote because of the attitude of the Supreme Court. Through hair-splitting sophistry and astute evasion the court esculpted the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments that, so far as the Negro was concerned, no sense or meaning at all was left in them. If the court had entered into a conspiracy with the amnestied leaders of the Rebellion to nullify two amendments that the gossip goes on about and effectiveness. It was until 1915 that there was any change in this attitude. It was not until then that the court showed a definite change from its traditional pro-slavery bias. Eventually the excesses to which corruption and force went apalled the more decent-minded element of Southern whites, and they began to device means to do the unlawful thing by methods which could at least simulate legality and democracy; so they pursued.

These pure-bred Anglo-Saxon of little class youman type, I will Virginia and Carolanus, you your deponent sayin not, because he does not know..." Still talking about the color line. The white race has placed flaming awards of wound along the color line to keep out all non-white intrusion. If the white mind in American has any idea it is contained in its intolerant racial belief, militiam, science, economics, democracy, all yield to this fanatical belief. I will recite two intentions about which I know where I speak and speak where I know. Two of my sons are pure-head Anglo-Saxons and two daughters of black men. These men were pure-head Anglo-Saxons of the middle class youman type. I will call them Virgins and Carolines, suggestive of the states from which I came and of a deeper character or unfit with a deeper bite of the love bag than the average of their clam. Forbidden to merry their ducky lovers by heart sentiment and they howbett themselves and their well beloved to murder daily by formal ceremony.

He too became enamored with a dukky brown of deep olive complexion and cole black hair who would tempt a saint off his ground. He would enter the church under forms of both legal and religious sanction. I often saw him coming and going, but he never said a numbling word. He engaged in business an independent dealer by means of which he supported his own business, and to form a happy and contended circle within the secret, and I would say sacred, confine of their domestic fireside. But there was no external relationship. But Virginius was taken ill upon a day, and thereupon he went to a contact with his relatives back home. Upon receiving news of his death, his relatives came by night and took his remains back to his native state and buried him among his father. To his wife and children this contact with his relatives place remains as profound a secret unto this day. The children grew to be useful and respected citizens within the circles of their mother's race. Did Caroliana and Virginus pass out of the picture. These in turn placed the heart of the individual and the exactness of the social code and the擅慷 of transition. The individual mosquito may in some way or other get himself into the forbidden precincts of the social code. The entrant soon finds it uncomfortable to remain and difficult to escape. For all practical purposes of exclusion, the sieve is effective. The adventure of these two Southern ladies made no abiding impression on race relations. They were precisely where they found them.

Such campus seem to have a sort of fellow feeling which draws them together. In Chicago, they used to have an American Society composed of students who were married and had its separate social existence agent from either of the continuity ranks. Doubly prescribed, they seek the salute of inclusion, Virginia and Carroll found lodgment in two adjacent shattered at the corner of their campus, from custom public gate. On a Sunday, these two men would sit and chat by the hour in the rear of their humble residence, while their respects when allowed their chosen friends would be arranged in the arrangement. No human eye ever saw man and wife together beyond the limits of the dilipidated space which included their premises. The man went to their work before it began, and the woman was dark. No Sigma have where they lived, no white person know where they lived. The power of personal attention held them, together the force of social prescription threat them apart, so they lived and lived together.

I became his confidant. He told me of his life and associations in his native state which also was mine, how he fell in despair with a Nego woman of war, whom his conscience would not allow to victimize after the fashion of his class and set. Then repent, he resolved to bring her to Washington and join her in legal work. They had no children. He secured employment and was making a decent living, and felt happily赞扬 for all of the sufferings the almighty affection of his faithful spouse which he reciprocated in full and equally measure. All went well until a Nego employed by the same firm, in a mental capacity, by a sort of instinctive sense, found out the secret. He was of the grimming, fear carrying kind, and kept his boss in the same place. This moral of information was too good to keep.

The most effective response to the defiant fulmination "His ne passport" is, "Qui diable veit passier?". Homely Philosophy Others will not think more highly of you than you think of yourself.

Mississippi began this reform in 1890 by asounding its constitution that the right of suffrage depended upon payment of a poll tax, and the ability to read any section of the constitution, or to understand it when read, or to give a reasonable interpretation of it.

This section looked entirely on its face. Indeed, it looked like a forward step toward intelligence and responsibility in the electorate, even if not toward a realization of democracy. But the jolter lay in the interpretation clause. The average Average罗 could easily hold of a few dollars and pay his poll tax, and it was in his power to learn to read a section of the constitution with some evidence that he understood what he was reading; but he could not read the constitution without find himself up against an unmountable obstacle. The election officials had absolute discretionary power and could play the applicant with questions that would divide the supreme court.

But he did not do There is the story of the Negro in Mississippi who applied to the registration board, and who understandly read a section of the constitution and answered with average intelligence a number of questions. One of the questions asked, "What does habeas corpus ad subjunctional mean?" the applicant took up his hat and replied, "It means that a nigger can't vote in Mississippi." No secret was made of the fact that the sole purpose of this section and of similar sections in the revised consultations of other Southern States was to keep Negroes. But the harms of this barrier were not quite close enough; for without going back to undisguised fraud and violence, it was impossible to keep a percentage of intelligent Negroes from slipping through, and perhaps, depending on the temper and integrity of the particular officials, impossible not to keep out of some of the Negroes who were not supposed to get itself to the task of making the disfurishment of all Negroes, ignorant and intelligent, a process of prelace, while saving the most subjecible white the embarrassment of even hav- I fines dat me'us en bad luck dere tord Ne York teens es en Is ir her oom haem neer de haem teem glies er beogin.
