NEWSP PAPER BEST
AID TO THE RACE
SAYS noted divine

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Springfield, Mass, Feb. 24.-News-
papers offer the Negro one of his
strongest aids in overcoming the
obstacles which he has to confront,
Rev. w. N. DeBerry, pastor of st.
Johns Congregational church, told
members of the Colored Republican
club at the meeting here. He classes
ignorance as equal to sin and crime
and said that in its wake follows
misery and destruction, which is un-
necessary in these days when such
wells of information can be found in
the newspapers and magazines.
DR.. DeBerry said he believed in
moral and social evolution and also
that the world is getting bette as it
goes forward, and he believes also
that the Negro will sooner or later
get an equitable status of freedom
and opportunity. He sees great prog
ress made in the last so years and
said that he gets inspiration by re-
viewing the past. He does not expect
equality OF. races, saying that no
races or individuals are equal and
quoted the Bible as his authority
Those capable of better things will
earn them, he advised.
The Negro may be deprived of de-
come when he will have an equitable
status of freedom and opportunity,
he said and he argued for intellec-
tual, material moral and spiritual
efficiency as he says character will
win out.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK
FOR RACE IS GOOD
SAYS PROF. Miller
(Hy The Associated Negro Press)

(6y Inc Associated negro FreSS)
New York, Feb. 24-1n a recent ad-
dress here, Dean Kelly Miller of the
Junior College of Howard University,
Washington, D. c., predicted that with
in six years there will be Negro rep
resentatives from New York City,
Philadelphia and Chicago in congress.
This will be one of the political re-
suits of the migration of some 100000
Negroes from the south during the
last decade He read census statistics
showing the Negro population in New
York to be 175.000. in Philadelphia
$4,000, and in Washington and Chi
cago 100000 each
From these concentrations there
will develop a political self conscious
ness" he added. you will find that
these communities will be sending
representatives to city councils and
state legislatures. After while they
will send representatives to the con-
gress of the United States. 1t is safe
to perdict that within four or six years
there will he Negro congressman
from New York City, one from Phila-
delphia and one from Chicago. The
population is sufficiently large to
come within requirements of congress
districts"

TEXANS OBJECT TO
MINIMUM WAGE LAW

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Houston, Texas, Feb. 24.-The mini
mum wage law which is to be intro
duced at the coming session of the
legislature is sure to cause bitter
fight in this state The objection to
the law is based largely on the fact
that it is applied flatly over the state
to colored, white and Mexican women
alike. The Texans contend that col
ored and Mexican women should not
receive a guarantee of $1,000 per
week, and while the Federation of
Labor is fighting for the bill it prob
ably will be defeated.

ing suggestions of the Associated
Negro Press that it is necessary to
give our point of view to the white
people a statement was recently pub.
lished here in the daily newspapers in
protest against an article appearing
about social equality"
Said the statement Negroes of
even average intelligence are not
prone to seek social equality" In
the first place, we demand nothing,
but we do ask for political and eco
nomic justice" The idea of social
equality has perhaps done much to
hinder the needed cooperation be-
tween the two races. You will find
that Negroes are asking for their
rights as law-abiding citizens, which
are set forth in the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the United
