Race Pride and Consciousness.
What Think Ye?

The Jews are class-con-
scious, and the Negro needs
to cultivate class consciousness
also. A short time ago AZ
Jewish organizations decided
to organize a censorship of
theaters of all grades and of
disfavor, denounce and pun
ish caricatures of Jewish traits
upon the stage. And this was
not an idle threat. Jewish
theatrical managers refuse to
stage such plays, Jewish thea
ters-goers refuse to patronize
them and Jewish influence and
money, in a hundred different
directions, were set against
plays unnecessarily disparag-
ing ann traducing to Jewish
chatacier. The theater is an
educator and stands side by
side with the church, school,
press and platform in its influ-
ence on determining the pre-
dominant sentiment of the
community. Uncle Toms
Cabin stood on the stage with
Douglass and Phillips in the
mighty work of upturning
slavery. If the stage persist
emily gives low-down repre-
sentations of tn eNegro it will
build up and embitter a senti-
ment against him.
The theater-goer who is
"tickled to death" by the RI
diculousities of Bert Williams
or Dudley, and the manner in
which the actor characteris-
ticly traduces the Negro, goes
home cogitating on new post
ulates on Negro inferiority.
Out of the loins of these cogi-
tations spring the whelps, in
dustrial ostracism. "jim-crow-
ism and segregation.
The time has come for the
advanced Negroest to organize
against the niggerisms" on
the the stage, against the rag
ged acting, against the Negro
never appearing on the stage
except as something grotes
que. These "niggerism" are
not mt to be exhibited to
our young women and men.
Many of them have immoral
suggestions, none of them
have either wit, humor or
sense and all should be let abb

Interesting News

The Breakers Ahead.

The fact that a southern

court down -upholds perni-
cious. insulting and un-Ameri-
can Jim crow car or segre-
cation law, ought not be sur
prising or discouraging to our
people anywhere. 1t is to be
expected. Southern courts
will and do uphold anything
against our people. particular.
ly, and against about every
thing and everybody else, in
general, that IS in line with
the dominant sentiment Of
their state and community.
State law always, and even
federal law. as a rule. in that
prejudice-ridden section of
this country. must and do bow
to the prevailing sentiment,
and are invariably made sub
servient to it. This is the
greatest weakness and shame
of this great American repub-
lie. and explains why SO many
of the fundamental laws of the
land are practically nullihed
in one half Of this country by
clearly unconstitutional south
ern state laws" With repub
licans in control of the United
States Supreme Court, there
always seemed to be ground
for hope that some day, that
august body would rise to the
occasion. when the matter was
properly placed before them,
and do its duty in the case Of
the clearly unconstitutional
distranchisement and "jim
crow" railroad (inter -state)
laws" But. as matters now
stand-with southern ex-reb-
els and democrats in the ma
jority on the u. S. Supreme
Court bench, and their kind in
control of the other two CO.
ordinate branches of the gov
ernment--the executive and
legislative the ground for
hope has about disappeared,
for a few years at least, we
fear. This republics great
est weakness, therefore, lies
in its inability to enforce IFS
fundamental laws-those of
the federal CONSTITUTIONAL
all parts ofthe country, oar
ticularly, the south. Time
and national progress only,
will bring about the desired

OUR NEWSPAPERS.
What They Mean to the

BANKERS OFFER PRIZES
FOR CORN GROWING CLUBS
Georgetown Men Will Dispense With
Calendar Advertising to Carry
Out Plan.

Calendar advertising will be dispens-
ed with by the bankers of Georgetown
this year, says the Louisville Herald,
and the money usually spent along that
line will be given by the bankers in
prizes to the Boys Corn Growing club
of Scott county. Commissioner of Agri-
riculture Newman recently received a
communication from the bankers of
Georgetown stating that such action
had been decided upon at a meeting of
the bankers. AS a result of this action
about 5000 from that source will be
given in prizes.
This seems to be sane and sensible
thing to do. Calendar advertising
brings inadequate returns for the mon
ey invested. The banks of this state
IRE spending $4,000 or $4,000 annual
ly for calendars, and except in rare
rases this is dead" expense. 1t was
all right years ago when banks first
began to use this medium Of advertis-
ing, but now practically every bust
ness house in every town passes out
calendars to its customers. The mer-
chant, the miller, the butcher, the
blacksmith and others make a bid for
trade in this way. As a result the
banks customers have more calendars
than they know what to do with and
for that reason none Of them are prop
erly appreciated. We venture the as
sertion that the lead of the George
town bankers viii be followed by the
bankers all over the state.

[From the Louisville Times.1

GFrom the Louisville Times.1
The awakened and more intelligent

inquiry in some quarters. Why not,
they ask. so cOntrive as that a con-
tinuity of reform be made the more
certain by permitting a second term

ton? Allowing for the time necessary
for him to shake down in his Office and
become at home with the routine. how,
in the brief space left, may he hope to
shape and perfect plans that shall
have time to blossom and bear fruit?
Is it not essential that if those plans
meet public approval and support they
be given every widest opportunity to
prove their worth by results?
The suggestion is worth cOnsidera-
ton. There is much to be said for it
and something, no doubt, on the other
side, But, at first glance, we are free

"BACK TO THE SOIL"
Movement Can Be Aided by Modern
Ideals and Methods,


Ideals and Methods.
The effort to better rural conditions
is touching a fundamental problem of
American life. The back to the soil
agitation can have little permanent
effect until we go back to the tiller of
the soil with the inspiration and en-
lightenment of modern ideals and
methods. We must carry the message
into every fertile valley and to every
mountain side; We must get back from
the Travelled roads and the steam and
electric lines; We must reach the little
isolated schoolhouses, the country
churches and every other agency that
can be a source of help. We can give
the schOOlteacher and the itinerant
preacher a broader viewpoint and
deeper interest I'm the welfare of their
charges-an interest deeper because
more practical and more hopeful.
Nor must we rest with this. A strik-
ing feature of the new movement is
the determined effort to show the bust
ness man in the city that he has a
point of intimate contact with the
farmer-that in mutual help is to be
found advantage for both.

If our children are to improve at
school there are two things their par
ents should bear in mind. There
should be a progressive, energetic
county school superintendent, and the
school trustees must take interest in

Herein lies the Importance of educa-

part of education. Studies are a means

Children are by nature eager for in
