EWING SPEAKS TO THE B. NJ. L.
Negro Welfare Worker Thinks Good
Would Result From Placing Great
e. Responsibility on Negroes.

HELENA, ARK.-Henry P. Ewing
of Kansas City, so-called Potato King
and for the past seven years engaged
in welfare work among Negroes, de-
livered an interesting address before
members of the Business Mems
League yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. He spoke with some hesita-
ton at first but answered questions
promptly and soon appeared thor
oughly at ease.
Ewing reviewed briefly his own
career, explained some of the prob
lens which he had found to exist
among the Negroes. He said he be
lieved one of the greatest steps to-
ward disposing of the so-called race
question would be to place greater re-
sponsibility upon tn eshoulders of the
Negro. He also said the reputed prac-
tice of protecting Negro who was a
bad citizen but good workman was
bad and created dissatisfaction among
members of the race. Strict justice
for everybody, white and black, he
said, and equal enforcement of the
law would be right.
The above article, taken from a
Helena daily paper, is full of common
sense and logic and demonstrates to
the unprecedented Negro that Ewing's
Back to the Farm movement is wor-
thy of consideration and will appeal
to that element of the race who real
ICES that the owners of the soil ulti-
mately become the rulers of the land
While the Sun does not advocate 9
wholesale movement of the Negroes
from the city to the farm, it does be,
lieve that many of the race could be
benefited by becoming cultivators Of
the soil. BACK TO THE FARM is
not bad movement by any means.
Mr. Ewing will address a meeting OF
Back to the Farm Movement" at 161.
N. 10th Street, Kansas City, Kas
Other speakers invited are: Free
Trigg of the Kansas City Star, Rober
Groves, Nelson Crews and w. d
Brown
Mr.. Ewing also states that in a Ne
gro neighborhood there are some for
eigners selling whisky and he insist
that they be prosecuted.

G. O. P. Under Fire
(By Associated Negro Press.)


The number of bona-fide Republi-
cans who are growing heartily tired
of the presence of the Negro in the
party councils of the organization is
constantly on the increase. This is
food for Negro thought. Asking the
reason is begging the question. The
fact is outstanding. And the most dis
quieting phase of the situation, to the
sentimentally inclined among us, is
the listless effort at concealment OF
the impatience of the group who
would have us take to the thickest Of
the political woods and there abide
until the day of judgment. What will
be the outcome l cannot say. l an
certain, however, that the question
will loom larger within the next few
years. 1t behooves us to do some tai
political thinking. 1t will be small
