Is the ability to hold jurisdiction Of

over the fact that Florence Mills,
like Rudolph Valentino was buried in
a $4,000 casket. We have heard it
remarked, wasn't that grand"
beautiful" wonderful" and other
descriptive phrases. Florence Mills
was a great artist and she deserved
every tribute paid to her living or

dollars is too much money to spend
on coffin. 1t matters not for whom,
artists, potentates or monarchs.
When ives are deposited six feet be-

to watch his dexterous movements;
they went to see Tiger Flowers.
Others could box as well, could
fight as hard, but they had not the
spark, the snap. the tingle that went
with everything he did. Even had
his skill been less finished than it was
Flowers would have succeeded just
the same. He worked hard and ccur-
ageously. but in addition he had that
elusive. indefinable something that
distinguishes the genius from the or
binary performer. To see TIGER
Flowers fight was an adventure. No
one who ever saw him will forget his
snappv eyes, his restless feet, and the
electric wav of waving his arms while
smacking his opponent. And now
only a little more than thirty, at the
HEIGHT of his fame. he is gone. Tig-
er Flowers did more than give pleas

world that the NEGRO had sometime

the world that man can be pueil-

words were simple prayer:
Now lay me down to sleep,

If l should die before ! wake,

We Are Thankful

A. colored Americans, our first
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in
1866, when four million of our peo-
pie were emancipated from the
chains of American slavery. Our
hardships, struggles and prosperity
since that time and our deep spirit
Of thankfulness to God who has
brought us through so many dangers
and blessed us with so many rich
and unexpected experiences of good
fortune, have been closely akin to the
hardships, blessings and gratitude of
the early American colonists. We
have had our churches, schoolhouses
and dwellings burned to ashes by
hands that seek to check our prog
ress; but we have patiently built and
are still building other structures in
their stead. We have been shot to
death from ambush by cowardly
hands, as we titled and harvested our
fertile fields, or while peacefully
competing in the various fields of in
dustry, business and the professions.
We have been outraged and mas
sacred in humble cabins in remote
rural districts and on the streets of
great American cities. But, thank
God, we are still advancing, still
prospecting. still giving thanks. We
ore thankful because God is guild
ing our destiny.
As a people We are thankful that
we are tolerant to all races and
creeds for among our group are ar
dent disciples of every religion, and
in our veins flows the blood of all
races. We are thankful that our
hearts beat in sympathy with all man.
kind, regardless of color or creed
We watch with admiration and svm-
pathy the majestic figure of the AM
erican Indian retreating toward the
setting sun. for in our race are many
who are from forty to ninety per
cent Indian. Whenever white men
prove generous, brave and noble in
character, we rejoice; and whenever
they show themselves cowardly and
intolerant toward the weak, We hang
our heads in shame; for we num-
her among cur group millions with
from fifty to ninety-five per cent of
Anglo-Saxon blood. We have moth
ing but the feeling of deepest toler-
ance and sincerest goodwill for Jews.
Catholics and Protestants, alike;
both North, East, South and West.
We have much in common with all of
them; for they are all human beings
and Americans as we are, and we
have no occasion either to hate or
to fear them.
We are thankful for life, liberty
and American citizenship, although
our liberties and privileges as Ameri-
cans are all too frequently denied
We are thankful for our struggles
and hsrdships, for it is only THROUGH
struggling that we grow strong. We
are thankful for the Bible and for
Christianity and for the spiritual
strength they bring us in the dark
hours when we seem almost over
whelmed by the bitter Injustice and
bloody blows of those who hate us.
We are thankful that God still lives
and rules, and that the time must
eventually come. perhaps in the not
. distant future, when the spirit of love
and tolerance shall hover over the
earth. and when men shall no longer
be Judged by the color of their skin,
but rather by the color of their char
acter.
