IN NEED OF REPAIRS

is to be paved very soon.
NOT a few of the streets notably
West Mahoning street, could be much
improved if the loose dirt, which adds
nothing to the roadbed but is mud and
dust alternately, were scraped up and
hauled away. Thus the residents might
enjoy little comfort even if the road
bel were not much improved for traffic
Many of the streets are rough and
could be improved at little cost ; about
all that would be necessary would be
to fill up the hollows and remove the
loose stones.

DOUBLE PENALTY

These are the days when the offend
ers against good order who fall into
the police dragnet and happen to be
committed to the lookup pay a double
penalty.
The heat in the "coop" is some
thing fearful to contemplate. Along
in the afternoon, especially, after the
sun has poured increasingly down on
the low shedroof for several hours the
interior becomes heated up to de-
gree that is little short of torture to
those who are compelled to bear it.
Those for whom the law ordinarily
has few terrors would do well to pause
before inviting arrest, as just at this
season a term in the lock up is an
ordeal not TO be lightly considered.

lem of the Negro in the North-Eco-
nomic Rather Than Social"
At the outset Of his address DR.
Wright said it was the northern Ne
groes who first started newspapers,
magazines, churches and fraternal
orders for their people. Richard Allen.
Robert Purvis, William Still, Fred
erick Douglass and Absalom Jones
were advocating the abolition Of slay-
cry several generations ago. BE said:
In the north, 80 far as civic privileges
are concerned. the Negro has the same
legal status as white man. He has free
entree to the schools and colleges. and he
enjoys an unrestrained franchise.
But the real serious problem Is the one
Of making living. Race prejudice is not
30 much in matters social as above indi-
Gated. as In matters economic.
The almost unanimous attitude of the
labor unions Of the north is to exclude
the Negro. But the attitude OF exclusion
is not confined to the labor union alone
ing In trades which are not unionized and
in shops which are open than they dc
when the union is in full power.
The competition which the Negro in the
north has to meet is the fercest possible
and keeps him eternally at 1t to make
both ends meet. The result Of this eco
nomic stress Is reflected in every phase
Of the northern Negro's life.
He looks at education from the point
Of view Of what 1t will bring rather than
its cultural effects. He looks at the great

Of doctor from the University of Penn

DR.. W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta,
Ca, in a paper on THE Social Evolu-
ton Of the Black South" said he did
not "believe that systematic deception
in the south, either on the part of
black men or white men, will in the
long run help that situation single
particle" and that your Tillmans and
Vardamans represent a certain dis
gusting but honest ignorance which
acts upon its information, and some
day when they get the right informa-
tion they are going to act right. DR..
Du Bois, continuing, said:
If we would know the social condition
Of the Negro today we must turn our
attention to the city Negro. No matter
how much we believe the country the
place for the southern Negro or consider
Its certain advantages to him there. the
black man who can take advantage of
those opportunities is represented in the
country districts in small numbers and
cannot under present circumstances be
represented by large numbers save through
conscientious, systematic group effort

vancing. 1t is that group whose social
structure we need to study.
