1t is time to turn our attention TO
something of concrete nature ana
make study of the condition or our
own city. We have listened to some
very able speakers during the months
Their advice on the race question IS IN
the tops of the trees, the roots are yet
to be disturbed. Great speakers one
like big shows. They spend years III
training, they travel from town to
town drawing large crowds and thrill
ing the spectators with their daring
feats. But the sad part of the whole
business is when they leave town the
spcctators satisfy themselves by re-
peating the jokes and singing the songs
without attempting to duplicate the
heavy acts.
Let us start training for a little cir
Gus right here in Des Moines. Let us
find out all we can about our selves
and see what we can do Th following
information should be in the hands or
every Negro citizen Of Des MONIES, the
Negro population of Des Molnes, the
Negro church population and school
population, names and location of all
Negro business places secret organlza-
lions and clubs, Negro real estate, Negro
voters. Negro Office holdres and other
civic employees, Negro contractors ana
mechanics, in fact we should know every
thing worthy of note the Negroes are
doing and can do. With tbs information
in hand we will be well prepared to
spread out and take on a few natural
issues on the race question.
