The broad ax., 1927-03-26

swept again toward brighter and
broader Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton, in favor of the Race And if this
trend but continues the next half CEN
fury will witness decisions which will
undoubtedly establish for good and all
time the equality of all men before the
law; for Negroes are seeking the
courts more than ever, and they are
seeking judicial comfort with a degree
of energy, knowledge and logic such
as they have never before shown.
Watch the Jews They're Loaded)
1t is alleged that he libelled the Jews
and that is why Henry Ford, billion
aire builder Of "flivvers" is being sued
for a million dollars by Aaron Sapiro,
a Jew, Of Chicago, I'll. Mr.. Sapiro has
pride in himself and his race, and he is
personifying that pride by million
dollar order upon the Dearborn indie
pendent which he is asking the Mich
igan courts to okay.
Mr.. Ford could pay the alleged de-
mands and still have enough money
left over to keep the wolf away from
his door until Halley's comet has ap-
peared three or four times But, if
Mr.. Sapiro wins the suit, from then
on Mr.. Ford will be scrutinizingly
careful as to what his official organ
carries concerning Jews and their al
legged shortcomings. He knows al
ready that Mr.. Sapiro has enough pride
to energize every "fivver" that ever
"hivvered," and then some
Save from the viewpoint of right
and justice, it doesn't matter much to
US who wins the suit; but it is healthy
lesson for us to absorb that the Jews
are putting over with pride; and they
have a right to. They're go-getters
When someone Injuries a Jew, he's
going to look right square into the
muzzle of gun loaded with serious
consequences. 1t wouldn't hurt if we
were more like the Jews.
Different Samenesses
Conclusions, based on evidence de-
rived from a study of the Bantu peo-
pies of Africa, show that there is no
reason for supposing any essential diff
ference exists between the mind of the
white and black man." according to
Professor Hoernle in the January,
1927, issue of the Journal of Philo-
sophical Studies. The writer thinks
that it is fear, due to the remarkable
ability Of the black man to assimilate
the white mans civilization, that has
caused "color bars" to be erected by
the Nordics in self-defense, and for
self-protection, lest this ascending
group, becoming their peers, usurp the
throne of Caucasian supremacy and
superiority"
That the black man has successfully
sought and attained higher education
and professional training, shows con
clusively, according to Professor
Hoern1e, that racial differences are not
due to difference in type or degree of
intellectual capacity-but rather to diff
ference in social traditions.
What do we really mean by the
term, Racial Differences?" Do races
really differ fundamentally Do we
not find traits and tendencies in each
race, common to all of the races. Are
not trait differences more a matter Of
the individual than of race? Is not
human nature the same regardless Of
color or even social traditions? Do we
not find a group with criminal tenden-
cies and proclivities in every race re-

It may be true that greater per-
centage Of certain traits are found in
one race than in some others, but may
not this be due to opportunity or lack
Of it, AS yet scientific investigations
have not been able definitely to settle
these potent questions-but this we do
