THE FLExlsLENEss OF AMERI..
CAN HATE.


CAN HATE.
Surely American hate of the Negro
is not flexible! Surely the superiority
of the whites is not questionable!
The Economic, and not the Social,
is the real acid test Of Race and Per-
sonal pride. For instance take a
downtown store that handles some
standard or staple shoe. A goodly
number of these pretend that they do
not like to sell to Negroes-yet they
sell to them, anyhow. That is to say
they take this attitude towards the
Negro customer: Il am your superior,
| hate to come in contact with you in
anyway, I even hate to sell you goods.
keen is my prejudice, so positive
is the sense of my superiority and
money, for money, after all is money,
even if II ONE from a Niger"
And here is where the flexibleness of
American hate is discovered in many
ways. 1t is considered highly Amert-
can to hate the Negro; to always up
hold the contention of white superior
ity, but contention usually breaks up
the wheels of the economic force.
That is why we say the Social is not
the great acid test. but the Economic.
Now the growing commercial enter
prise and industry for Negroes offers
a challenge to the affected superior
ity and Wanted hate Of the whites,
Negro business activity is saying to
the whites: we will take over this
despised and hated customer of yours
if you will permit. We will establish
marts in our own neighborhoods es-
pecially to handle this inferior person
who has money to spend. And since
this customer is confessedly nauseat-
ing to you we naturally expect your
cooperation in helping III to rid you
entirely of his presence"
Is there a practical way to do this?
We should say there is, decidedly.
We can demonstrate our conten-
ton by using the present subject of
the shoe stores. One thing is certain
will buy good shoes, no
what they cost. Now there are
Negroe merchants who would gladly
handle the best shoes, but they can't
get them. Why? Because local white
dealers or agents handle these shoes
with iron clad exclusive rights. So
since the privilege of selling the
standard or staple shoes is denied the
merchant, Negro people are
forced to go where they are not want
ed in order TO get standard or staple
shoes.
We say that if the write mans hate
Is truly ~inflexible. and his affected
superiority real. he will afford the
Negro merchant an opportunity to
give his own people pleasant and low
ing service instead of compelling him.
self to render the Negro hateful and
service. We say he a
do this by permitting Negro mer-
chants to sell standard or staple shoes
exclusively in Negro neighborhoods.
Make it from factory to Negro con-
sumner through Negro agencies. This
would prevent the contamination of
the superior whites by heading off the
undesirable Negro trade from their
This being successful other lines
could follow suit. Thus the superior
of the whites would be left to
themselves, undisturbed. That, l I'M
derstand is what they want. l believe
that is what they SO strongly contend
for. Anyhow, 1t would serve to make
the Negro independent. and | suspect
that Is just about what the Negro
wants, The cunning dog!
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1920-10-30

A statesman bases his plans largely
upon Policy, and not Principle. This
is a lost chord, since he meets cum
ming with cunning, craft with craft,
deceit with deceit. Craftsmanship has
this d~isparaging distinction from
TRUTH: Truth says, Il AM" posi-
lively, and without any modification.
craftsmanship says, 81 am, BUTT"
Now hitherto the only thing that the
Negro Leader" (our nearest approach
to a statesman) has offered in States
manship is PATIENCE. But the Negro
has too much patience, and too much
of anything is bad. EQUIPOISE is the
only thing worth while.

WE GIVE AND RECEIVE.

Like all primitive races, the Negro,
whereas he may have much that is
original to contribute to civilization,
he also has much hat must be annull-
ed by the finer developed sense of
this society which is indebted to him.
Specifically, the Negro gives civiliza-
ton music, civilization gives the Ne
gro manners. One is primitive, the
other is a thing of established custom.

We hope to publish an article next
week that will open the eyes of the
Negro of this community on the one
thing that is really vital to all hu-
mainly, and that is ECONOMICS. You
know there is a whole lot of us who
are only active in public welfare
about once every two or four years
ELECTION Time.)
But the sincere citizen is always on
the alert to do something to give aid
and light to his fellow man. II he is
a real Race man, then he is that about
1865 days in the year-working for the
Race cause. He is not periodical; but
constant, u~nceasing to the end.
This week we are surfeited with the
smack OF politics. This is alright in
its place, but after the ballots are all
in and counted the greatest thing
about the result of this is that SOME
BODY HAS BEEN ELECTED. The
Negro, in particular, will face the life
long problem of Economics again. the
next day. But how does It happen
that we know more about Politics
which we sense practically only once
in two or four years than we do about
Economics which, like the poor, we
have with us all the time Something
wrong here, the thoughtful would OBJ
serve, YES VOTE, VOTE AT EVERY
LEGAL OPPORTUNITY. VOTE, AND
VOTE RIGHT! I WILL EVEN SAY
TO YOU IF YOU ARE CONSCIEN-
TIOUS, THEN VOTE THE REPUB-
LICAN TICKET (That is if you have
MT the nerve to vote the Socialist or
Labor ticket.) But If you don't give a
d-m for yourself or your people then
vote for the democratic party!
However, remember that no election
returns will bring to you a solution of
your economic problem, but scientific
knowledge will aid US all greatly-let
us try to learn something about it.

PARKER RELATES
HISTORY OF HORN
French Instrument Be-
came Concert Factor
After Discovery

Tulea's municipal oand has four
French horns. They are played py
NJ. VIM. O. Setterstrom, (. G.. Gi!-
gas, and DR.. c. a. IurrOw. II. lie
Monte Parker, director OF the oand,
saw that -Four horns are generally
employed in Il concert band.
The French horn was an instru-
ment which was used 10 give hunting
signals before 1t was introduced TO
me >rcho stra, at thc beginning of the
eighteenth century. The early Instru-
ment gave only an imperfect scale,
1t consisted merely Of n metal tube
cCiled around itself and capable or
producing. as all such tubes, only
certain number Of notes by pressure
Of breath and of the lips. These
notes-they are technically called
tho harmonic serics'--wcre added
70 ir 1910 by the discovery that the
gaps IN the scale could partially be
filled up ny inserting the hand in
the bell 1f he horn and thus alter
ing the pitch.
The performer had at his disposal
an INSTRUMENT whose Fitch depended
upon the length Of rs tube. In Or
der TO play IN different keys ne was
compelled to insert extra pieces Of
brass tubing They were called
'crooks." and these being Of differ
cnt lengths, put the horn into any
key desired.
A great revolution was made IN
$50, when the system OF valves was
invented which not only permit ed
the performer TO plaS ir any key in
simultaneously without having 10 in
scrit crooks, but which gave tho
horn a complete chromatic scale.
