Negro Can Succeed
 in Southern States

m RINCIPAL MOTION of the Tus- lS kegee institute gave his people some good advice in an address sdeliv- cred before the students of the Uni versity of North Carolina. Dr. Moton is following in the footsteps of Booker T. Washington, who taught the ne groes of the south that the way to im- prove their condition is to practice thrift and industry in part of the country where they stand the best chance to become economically inde- pendent. He said:
 The negro race in the south has advanced further than any similar number of negroes anywhere on the globe, because 1t has had the privilege of coming into contact with the white people of the south.
 To the southern white people we eve our language and our religion. all that we have learned and all that we have advanced in civiliza- tion
 The rural sections of the south are the best places for negroes to- live. Negroes have shown that they can farm successfully. I hope more of them will do 1t in the future.
 The south already has large mum. Der of successful negro farmers Charges made by radical negro papers in the north, which are doing the race far more harm than good, that g prosperous negro is a target for abuse and oppression from the southern white people can be refuted by hun dreds of instances where negro farmers are respected members oi their communities. The best coloree citizens of Birmingham, an industria conter, are the most successful. Like wise in the agricultural districts o1 the south the negro farmer who il industrious and law-abiding number ne beat white people among hi' 1riends.

We may be disgusted or amused at the behavior of the crowds who fought their way into the small court room to hear the details of salacious trial and in imagination live through the tragedy which cost an oil king his life, but most of us are equally curious.
 Newspapers from one end of the country to the other have printed columns of correspondence about this case, yet their readers demand more. The pictures of Clara Smith Hamon, her paramour and his wife have been made as familiar by frequent publica- tion as the features of world celeb rity, simply because crime and scan dal have made them "good copy" Human nature craves the strange and unusual. To many newspaper reader the daily reports of the Hamon trial. and the events leading up to it, have been more satisfying than cheap fiction or a movie thriller. Fiction and the make-believe photoplay may

north who demand social equality. Dr. Moton says it is myth in the south, and that is true so far as a great majority of the negroes are concerned. They do ask a square deal and they are entitled to it. No fair minded white man would deny them an opportunity to build better homes, to educate their children and enjoy the fruits of their industry.
 Professional Gunmen
 Are Sadly Underpaid
 ~ HICAGO police say the price paid N fors the murder of two victims of the Nineteenth ward fued was $500. Whatever may be said against the gunmen of Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, where these gentry flourish, they are no profiteers. Their guns are their means of livelihood and an inactive "gat" is not bringing in the means to buy bootleg liquor, drugs and cheap finery for their "molls.' For these reasons the average gunman is no stickler over money. He has made murder trade, but he has not been intelligent enough to make it profitable. This proves the gunman to be a fool, as we'll as coward Despite all his bravado, he is a mean skulking brute who shoots his man in the back and takes no chances.
 If the gunman were fit, in mental ability and courage, to lick the boots of bank robber who combines with scientific knowledge of explosives and the delicate mechanism of locks courage that is often worthy of a better cause, he would get more pay for his work. Police departments have traced many murders to professional gunmen and found out what they re- ceived for their services, but usually the sum is small. A few hundred dol lars is sufficient to send them on the trail of a prospective victim.
 Men have been paid thousands of dollars to take human life, but they were not Sangsters. They were smart criminals and their clients were will ing to pay handsomely.
