the long period of business prostration

construction period"
Again" the economists point out,
people are beginning to realize the
broad range of southern business, and
that the great expansion in manufac-
turing is calling for increased railroad
arteries to facilitate production, con-
sumption, and wealth.
This new prosperity Of Dixieland
can be made to be true one instead
of the false one upon which its pros
perity of before-the-war days was
built. The prosperity Of the pre-Civil
War period rested squarely but un-
fairly upon the brawny backs of slaves,
whose free labor made the South's
prosperity of easily-shaped dimen-
sions. 1t was impossible that such a
prosperity could endure, and it is said
that the dirge of at Might Have
Been" is being re-echoed today in a
section which was once the most pros
porous stretch of the national wealth.
The new prosperity urge Of the

all that the South would have it be,
many changes in the Southland's heart
must yet be made. Human hearts
must be measured by the scale of God
illness rather than selfish man. Pride
of God, of Country, and of man must
be invoked. Christianity must entirely
displace Bigotry, and good fellowship
must succeed jealousy and suppress
sion. Millions of black citizens must
indeed be treated as fellow men; and,
at least, civic equality must obtain
groupaliy, and social equality individ-
ually. And the railroad lines Of the
next half century will treble those of

Vocational Guidance


Miss Nellie Swartz, (white) Voca-
tional Guidance Expert and Director
of the Bureau Of Women in Industry
Of the New York Department Of La
Dor, recently passed on to the public
her excellent advice on the matter Of
selecting vocations for girls and BOYS.
According to Miss Swartz, there is no
reason why son should be carpenter
merely because his father was one; or
why daughter should be miIliner
just because mother was one. Thus
even the Negro boy and girl, in liberal
states like New York, are being given
the chance to develop a seIective in
itiative; to attempt to find their worl,
trend; and to cultivate the talent which
in them seems most profitable and
pleasant in their future work lives. This
is an educational phase which is in its
infancy, largely because parents, white
and colored, are still insisting upon
making a. plumber" of Johnny when
he has doctors mind, or doctor OF
Jimmy when his desires turn to auto
mobile manufacture.
In America there are hundreds OF
thousands of Negro boys and girls
who are missing vocational guidance,
not only because Of parental DETECTION
but too, because of the trend of en-
ployer's minds to resist the justice Of
giving them a chance to aspire to a
general line of work in advance of that
performed by father and mother. If
Jim's father was a cotton-piclIer, these
employers reason that Jim is bound to
follow the same line Anything in ad-
vance of that, to them, seems ride
ulous. They apply the doctrine group
ally as well as individually.
To the ambitious Negro boy and
girl, vocational training is the boon
of the day, when Unfortunately
available. No one as much as the Ne
gro, needs to shake hands vigorously
with Opportunity and to be given the
chance to introspect himself or herself
to the end that dormant and sup
pressed work tendencies may be
quickened to their fullness.
The America of tomorrow will be
in the hands Of the American youth
of today, white and black. Her prog
ress and her measure of justice must
be built upon policies shaped today.
Vocational 1iberality is the right OF
every American boy and girl, and en-
ployers as we'll as industrial experts
and teachers of youth should pause
long enough to give their workers
children, white and black, the chance
to have a say in what their future
work shall be.

press is the first step in the establish
nent az tyranny

press is the first step in the establish
ment Of tyranny"
The Good Book says: "The wicked
flee when no man pursueth," and we
wonder whether the inspired" author
ity and playwright is crossing the
bridge Of censorship before he gets to
it. Freedom Of speech and Of press is
written into the precepts and traditions
of American law, and it is only when
such pernicious tales as the "Klans-
man." THE Leopard's Spots" and
their like are set afoot to appease the
desires of the high priests of Bigotry
and Persecution that America sits up
and wonders whether or not it could
not better preserve its citizenship by
reading censorship which would sup
press libel and other forms Of untruth.
Perhaps it reasons that if votes, whis-
key, education and health can be, as
they are, suppressed, the kind of words
and phrases that are the output of zeal
Gus self-admitted "supremists" might
too, be well suppressed.
The fact remains that Mencken's
"Hatrack" is a classic in comparison
with "The Leopard's Spots" and "The
Birth of Nation" and that while the
latter were suppressed in only two or
three states, it would have been far
better had their suppression been
countrywide.
Newspapers and books have some
very conspicuous and important duties
to perform, such as the unfolding of
Truth, and the moulding of high type
of public opinion. Whenever they fail
in these particulars, suppression,
whether State or Federal, is a much
needed treatment. And unless the au-
thor Of "The Leopard's Spots" is plan
ming some new and imaginary doctrine
of Truth" as he sees it, there is no
need for him to be disturbed over the
growing desire of the United States to
protect all its citizens in all ways, all
the time. This is the new kind of a
birth the Nation is most concerned
about at this time.

FAIR ASSOCIATION TO
STAGE BIG AUTO RACE
HERE ON DECEMBER 2t

That program of auto races, to be
the fastest and most spectacular pro-
gram of it's kind ever offered on the
local track, is to be staged on Sunday,
December 26, the day after Christmas,
chairman of the race committee of the
Cochise County Fair association.
The races will be run under the Off
cial sanction of the American Auto
mobile association, and will number
among the entry lists some of the best
known dirt track racers in the west
1t has been known for several days
that the race committee has been con-
sidering the advisability of holding
auto races the day following Christ
mas and the plan became a reality
Friday afternoon when the directors
of the fair association gave their ap-
proval.
Rice, local representative of the
A. A. A. and an ardent racing enthusi-
asst, has been in constant touch with
a large number of well known drivers
and he announced Friday night that he
had already signed seven speed kings
for the coming race. He expects that
the races will draw the limit number of
entrants, 49,
While Rice did not announce the
drivers of cars thus far signed for the
races, he did state that the coming
race will be in a class far above any
thing which has been offered in the
history of the local dirt track, which
is becoming known as one of the fast
est dirt tracks in the southwest. He
stated that Miller specials, Dusenbergs
and other high powered racing cars
will be driven in the race by drivers
of national reputation.
The track is in first class condition,
but Rice stated that a car of oil will
probably be spread before the race
date in order to do away with the an
noyance of dust.
Because of the fact that the race
date has been set for the Sunday after
Christmas, the race promoters feel that
the event should draw large number
of out of town race fans. The finances
of the race have already BEEN ar
ranged for and the purses and guaran-
tees have been made attractive enough
to draw high class racing talent.
Rice stated Friday that the Douglas
track, which is one of the few official
A. A. A. tracks in the southwest, isl
becoming well known to western dirt
track drivers and that he hopes in the
near future to arrange for a series Of.
high class racing events.
Jack Petticord, well known racer of
Los Angeles, Calf, has written Rice +,
that he can at almost any time bring
five Miller special cars with nation
ally known@ pilots. Accordingly, Rice !
and the other members of the race
committee are considering an exhibit
tion race of these famous high pow
cred cars at some future date.
The lineup of the entrants and other
details of the coming race will be an
as soon as the committee in
charge has completed arrangements.

Drizzling rain increasing at times
to a gentle downpour, fell over the
southland late today as the product
of Knute Rockne's rare coaching
ability sped, 40 odd strong, toward
Los Angeles on a train due tonight.
The usual argument that a team
from the four season sections would
be more at home in bad weather and
thus assume an advantage over the
laundering Herd of Howard Jones.
was discarded in the lights of the
splendid work of the Trojan backs
in rain this fall.
Morton Kaer, one of the out
standing line breakers in the coun-
try. did some of the best work of
his career against the Oregon Agri-
cultural college in a hard rain on a
slippery field.
No advantage was given either
team by outside coaches. Glenn
Warner, of Stanford, agreed with
Tad Jones of Yale, that it was a
4oss up"
Other mentors pointed out what
they considered an advantage by, one
of the. two outfits but his argument
was nullified by the next.
