veilous thing about this mess Of idi-

ing the course of tho Southern states
which have adopted constitutional
amendments discriminating against
Afro American citizens in the exercise
of the right to vote. He will leave
to the Supreme Court the duty of de-

states have violated the constitution

Speaker Cannon says that the great
trouble in this campaign is the over
confidence of Republicans. The Speak

win, all true Republicans must work
and work hard for the ticket.

Washington, ID. c., Oct 2O.-A re-
cent article by Mr.: Samuel e. Moffett
to the Saturday Evening Post of Phil
adelphia gives some very interesting
data about the Afro-American people.
Mr.. Moffett says: "The time is past
when the only careers in life open to
an "Afro-American were to pick cot
ton, make up berths in Pullman car
or wait on table," He notes the
fact that We are developing complete
social and industrial system of our
own and says, ''The 'Afro-Americans
could finance a railroad through their
eighty-two bankers and brokers, lay
it out with their 120 civil engineers
and surveyors, condemn the right-of-
way with 728 lawyers, make the rails
with their 1927 iron and steel work
ers, build the road with their 545, $3.50
laborers, construct it's telegraph sysr
tenn with their 1875 electricians and
their 500 linemen, and operate it with
their 55,327 railway employees. The
Afro-American baby can be introduced
to the world by Afro-American physi-
clans and nurses, instructed in every
accomplishment ' by = Afro-American
teachers, supplied with every requisite
of life by Afro-American merchants,
housed by Afro-American builders, and
buried by an Afro-American under
taker." -.

DOES RACE PREJUDICE PAY


The Atlanta Constitution has an
article on Immigration Problems
which incidentally shows the econom-
ic result of the race-prejudice SO
rampant all over this country. The
result is that the whole country, Cali
fornia as we'll as Georgia, is suffering
and losing vast sums of money on ac-
count of the scarcity Of farm labor.
The Constitution states the case in
Georgia, as follows: w.
large per cent of the arabic lands
Of the southern states are withdrawn
cause the Negro is ceasing to be farm
labOrer or, at least, a dependable farm
laborer, while the harvest season finds
labor at an exorbitant premium. In
the kitchen of the southern home the
situation is even worse. The old-time
southern cook is a rara avis, and any
kind of a cook is rare enough
Then comes quotation from Joa-
quin Miller in the Current Arena: - %
The truth is, California demands a
class of labor that is willing to get out
and labor. And that is what the south
ern states want, what al! the states
want. We want that and just that, be

small. women. inside of cities and out

fled repeal of the restriction act; and

Probably both Mr.. Howell and Mr..
Miller steadfastly believe that this is
white mans country, but they both
admit that the white man cannot or
will not cultivate it. And uncultivat
ed lands can pay but little tax, in fact
are burden rather than blessing to
the owner. The question then arises:
"Do exclusions, acknowledgements
segregations and lynchings pay?
