ship of the South in matters Of real progress
ion, especially where regard for law and or
der is necessary. Last week, Governor
Morrison displayed fine public interest by
calling out the Newbern National Guard to
give protection to Negro prisoner in the
Craven county Jail, which was surrounded
by mob demanding his life. The accused
was alleged to have driven an automobile
into a group of school children, fatally in
juring a twelve-year-old g.rl. For this Of
Tense "Tarheel'' mob sought the life of
the offender, and Governor Morrison proved
himself 50 be an executive who lived up to
his oath of office.
At times, fire is the only weapon which
can be effectively used for combat with the
devil; and militias are usually needed to
queD mobs, which are but instrumentalities
of the Saint Of Hell. But under many Of
the governors Of mob" states, miliaas are
used on parade only. They are kept sleeping
in the barracks when they could be used to
thwart blood-thirsty mobbists.
Governor Morrison example is fine one
for some other governors to follow. 1t gives
encouragement to struggling people whose
representatives have had the highest percent
ges in she toll of mobs during the past half
century. The policy Of Governor Morrison
in the respect of mob repulsion, along with
present decrease in lynching activities, is a
bright sign that some time all Of America
will be civilized.

HOME" ECONOMICS

Attention Colored- sale in splendid
neighborhood; fifteen hundred dollars. cash;
eighty dollars month. Owner has bought
another home and will give possession at
once"
The above announcement is typically IL
Illustrative of the game of home" economics
in many Of the principal cities Of the country.
The "owner" is a white man, who is fleeing
from the trickling stream Of black seekers of
residential property Probably son of Ham
has purchased somewhere in the block. The
brickbat and stone campaign, as recently
carried on in Washington and Baltimore by|
the 'chestnut-pullers" Of disguised" white
property holders. has failed to check the
oncoming current. The law Of economics is
more gentle weapon and quite as effective.
The departing white tenant doubles the price
of his cottage, writes up heavy monthly notes
and announces his emigration. And from
a vacuum, as it were, along comes another
son Of Ham who has cash enough and nerve
enough to tackle the buy. And the eve
luton goes on. Pretty soon the whole blocl
is black, and white tenants in adjacent dis
tricts begin to sleep uneasily at night; for the
stream cannot be stopped.
Mass meetings, litigation, white suprem1
acy programs. exorbitant prices, an economic
warfare based upon low wages, and JOB ex7
illusions. Surely these will stop the progress
Of Americas Negroes. No! Alliances with
and financial contributions to the back-to1
Africa movement? They'll stop it. Mol
All these have failed. Perhaps God All
mighty has some plan for these humble people
other than a complete sitting Of their aims
and hopes. We hpnestly believe He has
and we believe its almost public knowledge
now. If it isn't, it will be soon.

PHILANTHROPY!

Arguing that placement work among un-
employed colored people can best be done
by members of their own race. and recon-
mending the establishment of nationwide
system of free employment Offices for Negroes
the Russell Sage Foundation has just issued
report which essays to open greater en-
ployment opportunities to the noble children
of Africa. The Russell Sage Foundation
an influential philanthropic organization OF
untold wealth, with headquarters in New
York City, has done much good work among
the American masses. black and white. but
in advocating placement bureaus for col.

slang, the Russell Sage Foundation has fall
en- off lis fo-se.
TIL. Foundation, in this particular in
stance, has followed the philosophy Of Mark
Twain's Tom Sawyer, who explained ts
Hucklebery Finn that cow is cow and
cat cat; and that each is an animal. but
that neither is the same.
In the placement Of jobless men and wo-
men, however, mir. Work" is the animal
which is sought as the sustainer of the full

So far as "Mr. Work" himself is concerned.
he doesn't give, a pickayune who catches
. him first But the people who manipulate
him try to juggle him from a white shell to a
black one, and vice-versa. And this seems
to be what the Russell Sage Foundation is
hoping to do.
Unemployment is a common problem in
this country. 1t knows no color line. 1t

eau, whether fostered by Federal State or
Municipal Government, should be admins

There should be no separate bureaus for
black, yellow or While applicants, and the
man or woman who enters its portals should
be permitted to retain the humble trend of
thought which he or she had when starting
job-huntng, namely, that fact that he or she
needs job and needs it badly.

to stand in the sjobless line, right next to a
