RACE SUPERIORITY

Professor Franz Boes Of Columbia
university and curator at the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, in
an article entitled 1.-THE Question of
Race Purity" published in the Ameri-
can Mercury for October, attacks
the doctrines of race inferiority and
race superiority and asserts that
science has yet seen no proof that
any race is superior to any other.

that nobody has ever given satisfac-
tory proof of an inherent inequality
of races, and that the final solution
of this problem still has to be found
Professor Boas finds that people OF
different races can adjust themselves
about equally well to varying eli
mates, and to different kinds of talks
although there will be great varia
ton among the individuals of any
group. "The claim for the superior
ity of pure races has never been sub
stained" writes Professor Boas. Gas
| have pointed out, the purity of any
given racial type is a debatable
question, and the claim that only
extreme types are pure is founded
on misconception."
Concerning the prejudice against
Negroes in America, Professor Boas
writes:
SIT is particularly worth remarking
that the current unfavorable opinion
of the Negro is based largely on com
plete ignorance of African native
conditions, and of Negro achieve
ments in the industries and arts
and in political organizations and
that likewise the glorification of oul
own race is founded exclusively on 6
consideration of the cultural oppor
tunities given to the few and on the
complete neglect of the cultura
primitiveness of the great mass O
individuals, which finds expression
intellectually in the uncritical &C

C. S. "JACK" steward
WELL QUALIFIED FOR
SUPERVISOR DIST. |

Experience and his public record
are the qualifications on which C. s.
Jack Steward is taking his stand
in seeking reelection to the Board
of Supervisors of Maricopa County
from the First District. This District
embraces the following precincts:
Phoenix Nos. 4, IL and II; Park
View; Mesa Nos. 1, 2, and a;
Tempe Nos. 1, 2, and 4; Chandler
East and West; Alma; Gilbert;
Heard; Lehi; Broadway; Kyrene;
Goodyear and Higley.
Mr.. Steward was first elected a
Supervisor in Maricopa County in
1904 and served out his term of four
years. He was elected again to that
position in 1920 and completes his
term December 81, next.
These two terms, the candidate
feels, have well qualified him to pro-
tect the taxpayers interests and have
given him the necessary experience
to administer county affairs judicious
ly and expeditiously.
Mr.. Steward pledges himself, il
elected, to 'tbe on the job every day
in the future as I have done in the
past"

v. ]. GAILBRAITH
MAKES STATEMENT
Regarding HAYDEN

The growth of the discomfort"
vote of both political parties indicates
great many changes in political
circles as result of the forthcom-
ing elections, according to state
ment made by w. J. Galbraith, Re-
publican candidate for Congress. SAC
cording to the Literary Digest poll,
over 20% of the voters belong In
the Discomfort" class, class who
Don't know what they want but do
know that they don't want what
they have got"
"This condition comes stated Gar
braith yesterday, from the continual
tion year after year, in office, OF
many of the same men, the pyramid
ing of their obligations and the fact
that in the course of time they cease
to represent the people who elected
them.
Experience teaches us time and
time again that with most men they
cannot wisely be continued in of.
flee term after term to succeed
themselves.
when we stop and think, we real
ize and appreciate that men in pub
lie office who are continued term
after term must constantly and in
creasingly become more and more
under obligations to certain inter
ests and to certain individuals, anC
to the almighty dollar. There is 4
constant tendency to forget the true
consideration Of those and the peo
pie whom they are supposed to rep
resent.
Indeed, this experience has beer
so universal that it has become one
of the tenets of the democratic par
ty, and they have been the leading
advocates and urge the principle O.
rotation in office.
'sIf certain democratic voters fee
that after six successive terms, Mr.
Hayden is beginning to show symp
toms of being under obligations tt
certain interests and showing ten
dency to forget and disregard tn,
voters who have SO long continued
him in office, they must remembe
that, by their continued support o
him they are, indeed, flying in th'
very face of what experience teaches
and contrary to the doctrines of thef
own party"

HERE YOU ARE FOLKS!
A CLOSE UP OF The 3
POLITICAL PARTIES
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
HAVE DONE FOR US

1 They have disfranchised the col
ored people-taken away our right to
vote-in every state where they had
strength enough to do so.
They have passed segregation
laws, and enforced them rigidly
against us.
They have practiced Peonage
systems wherever the best citizens
would tolerate it.
They have tolerated the lynch
ing and burning of our people, when
they could have passed laws prevent
ing it.
They have sustained an inequit-
able division of taxes for educational
purposes.
They have passed Jim-Crow car
laws and forced us to submit to
them.
They are now bringing suit to
prove the 14th Amendment unconsti-
tutional, which would disfranchise
every Negro in the United States.

coRBETT USEDJAcKSoN
AS A STEPPING STONE


NEW YORK, N. YIN a series of
articles dealing with his memorable
fight with Peter Jackson, James ].
Corbett, former heavyweight champ
ion of the world tells of how he
sought battle with Jackson so as
to get closer to John L. Sullivan
and the championship.
At the time, after first meeting
and telling Jackson to get a reputa-
tion, Sullivan had refused the Negro
Australian a battle because he was a
Negro. Corbett saw the wonderful
record Jackson had made in few
years of battling and figured that a
fight with Jackson, even if he didn't
win, would bring him into the public
eye enough for him to demand a bout
with Sullivan. The Sullivan bout
with its memorable result came as
Corbett hadplanned. The bout with
jackson was fought for the largest
purse ever offered up until that time,
$4,000.

WHAT LA TOILETTE
WOULD DO FOR US

He would empty the dinner pals
of Twenty Thousand railroad men
earning Forty Million Dollars year.
That is what the Howell-Barkley
Railroad Bill means to Negro sleep
ing car and dining car employees. It
is supported by La Toilette and the
Democrats.
La Toilette proposes to change the
Constitution of the United States.
Don't forget that tinkering with the
Constitution is dangerous business,
and that in making Of many laws
there is bound to be much foolish
ness"
Colored people especially should
beware of La Folletteism as applies
to this Supreme Court. The Supreme
Court is our friend-it defeated seq
regation by ordinance and disfran-
chisement by the Grandfather Clause.
Don't forget that if the freedom of
the Supreme Court is curtailed, we
shall lose the good protection Of
an unbiased, unprejudiced judiciary
which has stood as a Gibralter of our
persons and our property"

FINLEY WILSON AFFIRMs
HIS ALLEGIANCE


WASHINGTON, d. C.-In an ad-
dress at a recent republican rally
held in the auditorium of Dunbar
high school, ]. W. Finley Wilson, ex-
alted ruler of the 1. B. P. o. E. Of
W., declared his unwavering allegi-
ance to the Republican party and
branded as a false alarm" the in
spired rumor to the effect that there
is to be wholesale desertion from
the Republican ranks by the colored
voters. Because of his personal con-
tact with active men in all parts OF
the country, possibly no other man
is better informed than the exalted
ruler, concerning affairs pertaining
to our group and his positive stand
for Coolidge and Dawes is indicative
of the prevailing sentiment among
our thinking men and women
The exalted ruler said, ''the black
soldiers of yesterday are the black
soldiers of today, and the black SOL
diers who have broken up every war
since the revolution will again come
to the rescue of the country whose
prosperity and general welfare is
best promoted by an adherence to
the economic policies of the Republi-
can party as enunciated by Calvin

100000 BUILDING
Completed BY BLACKS
OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ca. Oct. S1.-An inn
portant step in the progress of Gam
mon Theological Seminary, in this
city, was marked by the dedication
last week of Thirkield Hall, beauti-
full and commodious administration
and class room building just COM
pleted at a cost of 100000. Three
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church took part in the impressive
ceremonies. Bishop E. G. Richard
son of Atlanta presided, Bishop Ro-
bert E. Jones of New Orleans de-
livered the dedicatory address, and
Bishop and Mrs. Thirkield responded.
Bishop Jones in his address ex-
pressed the hope that the Seminary
might continue to be center for the
promotion of vital and ethical in

ly there is enough in Christianity to
enable us all to put aside bitterness
and rancor and stand together in
mutual good will and helpfullness." :"
The new building is three stories
high, of brick and stone, and very
impressive in it's architecture. The
work was done by an organization
financed and managed wholly by
Negroes. "The Service Construction
Company" which secured the con-
tract on competitive bid and carried
it out to the letter. DR.. P. M. Wat
ters, President of the Seminary, paid
the construction company a high
tribute for their faithful and efficient
work and stated that the building
would ever redown to the honor of
the colored people.
Funds for the erection of the new
building were supplied in equal parts
by the Methodist Seminary and from
endowment income. Bishop and Mrs.
Thirkield, for whom it is named,
were sent to Atlanta to open the
school in 1883, at which time there
was but one member of the faculty
and two students. Since then the
school has sent out 1900 alumni ana
now enrolls annually more than a
hundred men and women preparing
for the ministry and other forms of
Christian work. Among its distin-
guished alumni are Bishops Jones,
Camphor and Beckett.
After the dedication, the beautiful
dining hall recently erected was
formally named Bowen Hall in honor
of DR.. w. E. Bowen, for thirty-eight
years a member of the faculty.
