THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 23, No. 36, MAXIE MILLER WRITES The Old Story of Lost Confidence Children's Interest Considered before Mother's Happiness--A Man May Sin and then Repent--(Tis Human to err. Note: For advice write Maxie Miller, care Literary Service Bu- reau, 634 Franklin Ave., Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply send postage. (The Literary Service Bureau) In the case of the mother whose letter is here quoted there is but one honest and honorable course to pursue. To do otherwise would be almost and unpardonable crime. But this is the letter: (Dear Maxie Miller: In my perplexity I write to you because you seem to understand human problems and your advice is always so sound. My case is that my husband has been guilty of something that caused me to loose my TO BANISH UNEMPLOYMENT TO BANISH UNEMPLOYMENT Governor Roosevelt of New York has announced that he will invite the governors of six other eastern states to confer with him on unemployment. Among the problems he wishes to consider are: The extension of system; the development of the free public employment bureau technique of public works planning so as to spread them throughout the year; the providing of a public fund reserve in good times to be used in bad times; the study of unemployment insurance in its broad aspects; the standardization of labor and compensation laws and the standardization of taxes affecting industry. To most of these proposals there will be little opposition, and if Mr. Poosevelt's conference can create some means of standardizing taxes of industry it will achieve a public service of the first importance The same is true of unemployment insurance and the proposed public relief funds. At their worst they can be very bad indeed as the English dole system has demonstrated. At their best they can serve a useful purpose. The aim should be to so employ them that they will aid the same time add no burden to taxavers and business. Unemployment is a social and economic disease that must be cured. So long as millions of men are unable to find work, industrial leaders and public officials will have a duty to perform. FREENESS OF SPEECH When people gather in groups, Having high ideals to reach, Though membership costs them money There's always freeness of speech. If bound by Constitution Or by-law, or pledge; be cool, They are always free in one sense: SPEECH, as a general rule. Re cool because of weather? Not because there's time for each, All must have an equal portion To beloved freeness of speech. Suppose speech brought one a fortune, I don't mean any one soul; But really, suppose it costs us. Something like our weight in gold. Well, yeah... it's free, now forget it. This lesson, we hope to teach: TAIL WORKS, EXPRESS YOUR UNIONS. It's still free, costless speech. Dedicated to the Junior Matron's Club at Wichita, Kansas. MORALS By A. B. Mann (The Literary Service Bureau) According to Roman mythology, the beginning there was a beautiful place where men lived in jeer and ease. But the gods decided to send a punishment, (woman) She was endowed with wonderful gifts and was called (Pandora), r the (all gifted). Epimetheus received her and the box which accompanied her gladly and all his friends rejoiced with him, for envy and jealousy were yet known. At first, Pandora was very happy, but as time passed she became discontented and was filled with curiosity concerning the contents of the box which Mercury had forbidden her to open. She asked Epimetheus to open the box but he was horrified and refused to disobey the gods' command. Pandora resisted as long as she could, but one day when she was alone in the house, she lifted the lid. Instead of the beautiful things which she had pictured were with in, a throng of winged pests escaped. At once, dissensions sprang up and the age of innocence departed. Pandora was dismayed at the result of her curiosity, and hastily shut the lid, but it was too late, all of the pests had escaped. At length she heard a small voice say (Let me out). Her curiosity, not being entirely dead, after some hesitation, she opened the lid and a most beautiful creature flew out. It was (Hope). Immediately the world seemed brighter, and peace was restored—but not the same peace. The realization came that as long as (Hone) was in the world no trouble would ever be too bad to be borne. Today, women cause sorrow, strife, jealousy, love, tragedies and death and destruction. But there is the other side in which are many instances of their beneficent influence. By helping, encouraging and inspiring men, women have done marvelous things for humanity—they have been to the world great benefactors and saviors. It will be found that the good they have done and are doing is infinitely greater than the evil. THE PEOPLE MUST CHOOSE Government, under the democratic theme of things, exists for the sake of its individuals. Its sole duty is to protect those individuals from encroaching on the rights of each other. When government goes beyond this, it becomes paternalistic. The man's for reform. for regulation and suppression of individuals and businesses is as un-American as communism of racism. It represents an alien influence which has come into American life in the part few decades. It is an affront to the spirit of our forefathers. Business has been persecuted. Individual rights have been abrogated. And the people of the nation suffer. Every time the government takes upon itself new power the individual loses an "inalienable" right. Every time politics lays its dread hand on business, the Constitution becomes less a living document and more a useless crap of paper. On the one hand is our traditions of individualism—on the other the new road which leads to communism. There is no middle course. It is up to the people to choose their way. IS THE PUBLIC INTERESTED? Railroad employees in train service should realize that railroads are not operated wholly for their benefit. These employees represent THE AMAZING AGE If (law) did what it is supposed to do, the United States would be the most moral and "crimeless" country in the world. No other nation has ever had such a volume of legislation. Yet the newspapers sag with accounts of the doings of celebrated gangsters and (racketeers), Law enforcement officers search frantically for ways to press charges against them, but to no avail. An arrest is the signal for swift activity on the part of lawyers to show that suppose law-breaking "without" the law. The irony of such a situation is inescapable. We have thousands upon thousands of criminal laws and there is talk of asking the federal government to take a hail in subduing the criminal element in our gang-ridden cities! At a "crime remedy" it is written proposed to make it a crime for a perfectly honest citizen to own a revolver or pistol, while it is a rare week in which gangsters fail to "biship" someone off with machine guns. And still we talk of passing more laws. Why not reverse the process and enforce some existing laws? We do live in an amazing age! S. M. U. AT DALLAS GIVES DR. TOBIAS WARM WELCOME S. M. U. AT DALLAS GIVES DR. TOBIAS WARM WELCOME Association Secretary Delivers Chapel Address and Conducts Faculty-Student Group Discussion DALLAS, TEXAS, Dec. 17—Only good reactions have been heard to the visit to Southern Methodist University last month of Dr. Channing H. Tobias, National Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who delivered a chanel talk on "The Basis of Racial Adjustment," and on the same evening conducted a group discussion with faculty and student representatives. Dr. Tobias coming was advertised editorially by the student publication. The Campus, as an occasion on which, according to the editor, all would gain a deeper respect and understanding concerning the problems of the two races. The same publication gave prominent space to a full report of the address, and followed it on some days later with commendatory editorial comment. Dr. Tobias, it is understood, was greatly pleased with the reception accorded him. The second editorial from The Campus is quoted below: The spirit of friendship with which the student body received this first formal representative of the Negro race is significant. Color was forgotten in the vitality and earnestness and ease—of the mans message. There was no servile defense of his race; rather was there a challenge to us to recognize the assets which his people possess. But it was not so much what he aid as his spirit in saying it which was impressive. The Campus trusts that this is only the first of many such visits whereby understanding may lead to a solution of maladjustments between the two races. the highest paid class of labor in the United States. The working day is "eight hours or less." Statistics show they work an average of about seven hours and then only about 20 days per moth. Notwithstanding, they are reported as planning a demand for a six-hour day with no reduction in pay which is evulivalent to a wage increase of 25 per cent. In addition, they will seek state legislation to reduce and limit the number of cars in a freight train. The result would be more jobs at the same pay for less work at a time when it has been necessary to lay off thousands of railroad workers due to decrease in pattern THE HERALD ANGELS By R. A. Adams (The Literary Service Bureau) Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! Tidings of great joy they bring, Singing Peace on earth, At the Savior's birth, And glory to the new-born King! Shepards wacthing in the night, Were enraptured at the sight, On that Christmas moin, When the Christ was born. To be to this dark world a light. Hear the herald angels cry, As it echoes from the sky: Unto men be peace. That shall never cease, And glory be to God on high. While the Babe byfaith we view, Evry Gentile, evry Jew, I cled now full control, And in evry soul, Let us Christ be born again. NEGRO COLLEGES RECOGNIZED BY SOUTHERN ASSO. Seven Institutions Given Approved Rating by Regional Educational Body-Others will be Added to the list ATLANTA, GA., Dec. 8—For the first time in its history, the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, in annual sessions here last week, added to list of approved Southern colleges and universities a number of institutions for Negroes, the schools certified being Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. Johnson C. Smith, University, Charlotte, N. C.; Morehouse College and Spelman College Atlanta, Ga., Talladega College, Talladega, Ala.; Virginia State College; and Virginia Union University, Richmond. This action was taken by the executive committee of the Association after a study of these institutions by a committee composed of Professors H. M. Ivey, of Meridian, Miss., J. H. Highsmith of Raleigh, N. C., and T. H. Jack, of Emory University, Atlanta. Fisk was rated as a CLASS A institution, having met in full the standards set up by the Association. The other six schools are rated for the present as Class B institutions, on the ground that they do not yet meet in full one or more of the Associations standards. The practical effect of the Associations action, however, will be the same in the causes of all seven, in that credits and degrees conferred by them will hereafter be accepted without question by other institutions to which their alumni may go for further study. It was stated that further inspection of Negro Colleges will continue during the year, with a view to the approval of other institutions which succeed in meeting the Associations standards. Prof. Arthur D. Wright, a Virginian now heading the education department of Dartmouth, was asked to undertake this work and has secured a years leave of absence for that purpose. He has established headquarters in Birmingham while conducting the investigation for the Association, ger and freight business. Can the railroads endure wage increase without an increase in rates? If they can not, the next question is, Can producers and shippers endure a rate increase" Too much "shortening" will smil a cake and spoil a country. With competitor countries prepared to flood our markets with products at low cost--such as wheat, wool meats, lumber, silver and copper--our efforts should be for increased production without increased cost The public will sympathize with any plan which labor may propose to stimulate employment and maintain living standards but it won't seem that shorter workdays and shorter trains under present conditions would mean increased of profit than for all industries. Five Cents Per Copy. CHRISTLESS CHRISTMAS ```markdown ``` By R. A. Adams (The Literary Service Bureau) According to its etymology, Christmas is composed of Christ and mass, meaning a feast or festival. Literally this means a festival in honor of Christ. In the Christian Church it is a feast in honor of His nativity, or His birth. With Christ eliminated, there would be just a feast differing in no way from any other feast. The faddist have a way of spelling it Xmas, making (X) represent Christ . But the Greek (Chrise) contains no (X), therefore (Xmas) cannot be Christmids or Christfeast, notwithstanding the fact that this has been sanctioned by usage and is extensively practiced. The elimination of the word (Christ) from (Christmas) is typical of the conduct of the world in eliminating the spirit of Christ from the celebration of Christmas. And, though it is sad that we must admit that the church is either blind to this fact or it is (particeps criminis) in such deplorable conduct. Commercialism is most blantantly prominent in this deplorable tendency to depart from the spirit of the Christmas celebration. The greatest preparation for this sacred season is by those who are engaged in commercial pursuits. Candy, toys, flowers, various other gifts visits, social pleasures and even bachanalian revelries receive more earnest attention than the spirit which should characterize this celebration. According to the proclamation of the angels and the natal song which they sang that first Christmas morning, the birth of Christ was to be the beginning of (peace on earth and good among men.) There should be the manifestation of this good will toward the poor and needy, the dejected and outcast, the unfortunate of all classes, Drunkenness, gluttony, revelings, are desecrations of this sacred season, and those who practice them are largely responsible for a Christless Christmas. Let us improve; let us reform; let us have more of the spirit of Christ; and by this we will lighten the burdens of mankind and hasten the coming of the kingdom of the Christ in whose honor we celebrate Christmas. other center had a show against him. Smith was flanked on the right by alternate captain Griffin Dav at guard, Clinton Davis at tackle and Owen Evans at end; and on the left by Walter Bowen at guard, James Boyer at tackle and Graham Robinson at end. Something of the contribution that this light but stalwart line made to the success of the season is evident in the fact that they averaged about 550 minutes per man of playing time out of a possible playing time of 600 minutes. Of the seven men on the varsity line four were playing their first year, one was playing his second year and two were playing their third year. The varsity backfield, composed of Forrest Kelley at quarter, Spirit' Edmonds and 'Red' Jones at the halves and 'Rip' Maire at full, averaged 158 pounds. Captain Edmonds was the only man in the backfield that had played for more than one year. Edmonds, although the lightest man on the team was the greatest defense man, a deadly tackler and as high in the air as the next man when passes came his way. Edmonds, because of his previous years record, was spotted in every game and was the victim of heavy prey. An injured ankle and placed on the spot robbed the fans of thrills usually occasioned as this midget back romped in the broken field. Forrest Kelley, a freshman, played a splendid quarter and shows wonderful prospects for the three remaining years. Not in many APPROACHING NEW ACCIDENT RECORD From the standpoint of deaths due to automobiles, 1930 is the worst year in our history, according to the National Safety Council which reports fatalities for the first nine months were two per cent above 1829. The report is based on statistics covering areas containing about half the nation's population. Reckfulness and carefulness are still rules of the road with thousands of motorists. However, it is encouraging to note that there are a few rays of light in the accident gloom. The tremendous success has been attained in reducing the number of accidents to children by means of safety instruction in schools. Throughout the nation many organizations are working to prevent accidents, not only automobile, but those occurring in homes and industries. The National Safety Council announces that it will hold 25 regional safety conferences in various parts of the nation during the coming year and it is estimated that 10.0 delegates will attend each one. Another hopeful sign is the strong trend toward laws requiring drivers' examinations. Some of our states have such laws now and report exceedingly good results. When legislatures meet again it is almost certain that most of them will consider stricter licensing laws. Their value is demonstrated by Pennsylvania where 75,000 of 300,000 applicants were unable to pass the tests on the first try. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE MOREHOUSE COLLEGE MOPEHOUSE CLOSES SEASON WITH NINE VICTORIES RANKS SECOND IN SOUTHERN CONFERENCE Defeats Smith, Alabama State, Talladega, Morris Brown and Clark—Losen to Tuskegee The Morehouse Tigers have just gone through their most successful season for half a decade. At the beginning of the season everybody in this section was of the opinion that the young recruits at Morehouse would not be able to take in the coaching or stand the nunchuck of the heavy schedule that had been prepared for them. In the first game in which Allen University was defeated by the Tigers 32 to 0, some signs of unusual coordination and power were evident, but little did any critic think other than that the Maroon Tigers had been doped for all that the lads could hold and that that game saw them burn out for the season. On the following Saturday a plucky Knoxville College team all but took the game in the last quarter, but finally had to bow in defeat with a score of 19-13. All eyes then turned toward those rejuvenated tigers. Light Line The Tiger line had been the weak spot, averaging about 175 pounds. This was one of the lightest lines in the Southern Conference and the lightest that Morehouse has had for many years. To these men is due a large portion of the credit for the nine victories. Playing as though they had been superhumanly inspired this 175 pound line successfully refused to grant a single score through the line except to Tuskegee whose lines averaged at least 20 pounds per man more; and which perhaps had several years per man more experience. Vernon Smith, center, a sophomore playing his 1st yr. of varsity football was the outstanding man in the line and the outstanding center in the Conference. He decidedly outplayed Champion, All-American center of Tuskegee, and no Pony Backfield (continued on page four) Sunday School Lesson (Dr REV P D FITZWATER P D, Mem bar of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago).

I. Timothy's Parentage (Acts 10:11). His father was a Greek and his mother a believing Jewess. On his mother's side, at least, he had a godly ancestry. Frequently the influence of the mother makes the son. A pious mother and a pious grandmother were back of Timothy. How thankful to God ought those to be who have been blessed with a godly ancestry. Christian heredity and training are vital elements which go to make up Christian life. II. Timothy's Training (I Tim. 1:5; II Tim. 3:14, 15). His wise and faithful mother and grandmother carefully nurtured him in God's Word. He knew the Scriptures from childhood through their training. The faith which came to him through his grandmother and mother did not come through the laws of heredity, but through careful training and teaching. Three factors were involved in his training: 1. Godly ancestors. Those who have been blessed with godly ancestors should thank God for them. Those who are to be the parents of the coming generation should see to it that their children are not handicapped by a wrong life and wrong teaching. 2. A Christian home. The young of the human race must remain for the longest period under the influence of their parents Unending existence and exalted destiny demand long and careful training. The goodness and wisdom of God are vitally reflected in this provision for humanity. 3. A diligent study of the Holy Scriptures. Timothy not only was taught the Scriptures from childhood but was commanded diligently to study them (ch. 2:15). No home training or hereditary influence can possibly take the place of personal study of the Bible. 4. Timothy's Call (Acts 10:2.3). While on his second missionary journey in company with Silas, Paul found Timothy at Lystra near Derbe. Perhaps he had been converted on Paul's first missionary journey, but hearing a favorable report of him by the brethren, Paul circumcised him so as not to offend the Jews, because his father was a Greek. This was in harmony with the decision of the Jerusalem council. It was a case where conciliation was possible without compromise of truth. From this time to the end of Paul's life, Timothy was his devoted companion. IV. Timothy's Character. 1. Of a retiring disposition (II Tim. 1:0). He had received a gift from God at the hands of the apostle but it needed to be stirred up; that is, fanned into a flame. Such a temperament would mature in touch with a great personality like Paul. Each Christian has a gift from God's hand. It is highly important that the God-given gift be stirred up. 2. Courageous (II Tim. 2:1-8). Having been stirred up and freed from the spirit of fear, he deliberately identified blinself with Paul in his sufferings and trials. Courage is greatly needed in doing the Lord's work. 3. Faithful (Phil. 2:20). Timothy tarried in the difficult field of Ephesus through many years. He was the only man of the proper fidelity to minister to the Phillipians. The secret of his faithfulness in such a position was his fidelity to God's word. V. Timothy's Ministry. 1. As a fellow missionary with Paul (Phil. 2:22). Paul testified that Timothy, as a son with a father, had served with him in the gospel. 2. As pastor of the church at Ephesus (I Tim. 1:3, 4). Here Timothy labored for many years, tactfully meeting the difficulties of that great church. The secret of his ministry, as that of all Christian ministers, was that he had implicit confidence in the Scriptures as God's Word, and that he diligently studied them so as rightly to divide them in meeting the needs of those to whom he ministered. This is the only way to meet the needs which arise in the difficult field of a pastor. Humility Humility is not only a virtue in itself, but a vessel to contain other virtues—like embers which keep the fire alive that is hidden under it. It empties itself by a modest estimation of its own worth, that Christ may fill it—Thomas Adams.

Mollie B.: It is not difficult to decide what you ought to do because your first duty is to your children. You selected their father; you brought them into the world; their care devolves on you; you is the responsibility; for their training and their general well-being; and these are more important than your happiness. In fact if you should deprive those children of what is justly due them, you would be more unhappy than you are now. No, Mollie B, for there is no honest on honorable alternative; you must stick to your task or prove yourself unworthy of the name of mother!

Mr. Helm also paid the glowing tribute to Isaac Coleman, whom he likened unto the boy on the mountain with the three loaves of bread and five fishes who furnished enough food to feed the multitude, called Isaac just a little ignorant school boy who did not know enough to tell a lie. Woodard, the first speaker for the defense covered the evidence in the case, like a barrage laid down by the allies during the World War, sweeping everything as it swept along leaving in his wake only a few smoldering embers that were quickly extinguished by the fellow councilmen, Mr. Keith and Sowers, who followed afterwhich time it was plainly evident to all present, there could be no verdict other than NOT GUILTY. WOODARD'S CLOSING PLEA (Continued on page seven) MOREHOUSE COLLEGE (Continued from page 5) years has such an accurate passer been seen in this part of the country Kelleys bullet-like passes, direct and rapir, to Edmonds, Jones, Robinson and Evans were responsible for the larger portion of the Maroon Tigers advances. Kelley filled well the position of field general and was a consistent punter. Many times did his punts roll for as much as 80 and 85 yards. In the Clarke game one punt stayed in the air for 78 yards. Red Jones was the best pass receiver on the squad. The combination of Kelley to Jones was all was hard to stop. On tackle Jones was always a threat, and around end a man had to be ten seconds or better to catch him. His powerful stiff arm on offense rode down many a would-be-tackler. Rip Maise at full-back was really a line ripper and usually had the punch needed for a touchdown when at close range. He was the ball carrier for a large percentage of the touchdowns, was powerful on defense and was a constant support in tacking up the line. Tarver, Mazique, Mule Davis and Cage were used frequently as substitutes in the line and Jeffries, Babe Edmonds, Hat rack Green Big Jones and Dick Brown in the backfield. Much credit is due these men for really fighting when the going was hard and when a little new life was just what was needed. It was Big Jones, a substitute fullback, who followed closely a perfectly co-ordinating line and a well-timed backfield for the winning touchdown in the Clark game. It was the backfield of Jeffries, Edmonds, Green and Jones that made all 31 points against Talladega, after the varsity backs failed for a whole quarter to score a point. The Maroon Tigers piled up 194 points against their opponents 41 and lost only one of ten games in as many weeks. Morehouse 32 Allen 0 Morhouse 19 Knoxville 13 Morehouse 25 Benedict 0 Morhouse 32 J.
