three rounds like the champion. He regained his confidence. taking the aggressive and beating Demp- sey into defeat with double listed well timed attack to the head. Tun- ney with the title danger past had the stuff to put on victorious rally.
 Dempsey. with both eyes cut and bleeding badly was groggy and reeling and "out on his feet and at the close of the final round, so battered was the old champion. his last charge expended. that he did not seem to know that the battle was over and had to be led to his corner.
 Tunney's victory was not with out dispute, however for there were scores in the ringside seats who thought the champion was saved from losing his crown in the sev- enth round by count that was ac
 
 the toll of nine. It was unques- tionably "a long count" from twelve to fourteen seconds. but it was due to the fact that the Illin- ois boxing rules compelled the fighter scoring the knockdown to go to his corner before the count starts. Dempsey's slowness in backing off to his corner account ed for the late start of the count.
 Tunney took the count with his left hand holding the ropes. He was in bad shape hut fully con scious. Had the count started sooner he probably would have been able to regain his feet but might have been wobbly and easier to get at It was the few seconds added rest and chance to collect his faculties which made him able to ward off Dempsey's attack.

We Are Satisfied

Considerable comment has been
caused by a debate in the October
number of the Forum on social
equality between DR.. Alain Locke
and Lothrop Stoddard, author OF
''The Rising Tide of Color" Dr.
Locke thinks that the higher type
of Negro should be encouraged to
mingle socially with white people
and Mr. Stoddard says that white
American Society will never stand
for such a~thing.
Regardless OF the merits of their
arguments, there is one point upon
which both men should be set right.
Whatever may be the -yearnings of
handful of intellectuals, the, great
body of educated Negroes are not
begging to be taken into the white
race or any other race, but the one
God gave them. They are satisfied
with their own society, and they
have too much self-respect to plead
or threaten their way where they
are not wanted. If the Negroes are
ever absorbed by the white race it
will be because they cannot help
themselves, not because they want

Pay for Service

At last the great majority of
: black people in America have learn
ed to place confidence in their ply
sicians and dentists. They are will
ing to place themselves under the
care Of their own practitioners. They
are willing to risk their lives on the
medicine. care and advice of these
professional men but we find that
they are still unwilling to pay them
as they would pay white men. They
feel that because the man who is
alleyiating their suffering and cor
recting their disorders is of their
own blood and subject to the scheme
of life, that he does not have to be
paid promptly. They will pay what
ever the doctor or. the dentist will
accept, whenever they will accept.
Their psychology is entirely differ
ent when they retain white men.
Our physicians and dentists must
hold themselves out to their people
at all times. Early in the morning
and far into the night. Their pa
tients as a rule do not manifest the
same consideration towards them in
arranging calls and visits.
The black race in America, If it
is to live and withstand the ravages of
disease, must depend almost entirely
upon its physicians and dentists
Since these men are prepared to
serve, and have shown an unfailing
willingness to minister to the phys
ical needs of the people, they should
be paid. No advantage should be
taken of them because of a CON-
munity of racial misery. There
should be no Jim Crow prices. Black
physicians and dentists who are allie
waiting the sufferings Of black peo-
Pile and prolonging their lives should
be paid by their people exactly as
white men are paid. Their status
should be fixed in the minds of
their people. They are professional
men who should be paid for their
professional service without intro
ducing the element of color.
The lawyer has come into his own
in the last decade. The practice of
law was formerly a practice of star
vaticn. Black people had no faith
in the ability of the black barrister.
This condition has been changed in
everywise except the fee. Recently
a black man resented the fee that
one of his own, able lawyers had
fixed and remarked that che could
get a white lawyer for such a fee"
He wanted the lawyer of African
descent to do exactly the same work
that he could get the white man
TO do but he wanted to pay the
darker man a smaller fee. 1t is the
color tax. II is imposed on black
professional men by their own peo-
pie. 1t is one of the ramifications
and tentacles of the inferiority CON-
pick so evident among our people.
II is present in their psychology and
philosophy of life. II must be re-
moved. The professions cannot adj
vance, nor can their status in the
schemes of our lives be fixed, II we
are going to put a color tax on
them. Service should be paid for
and the element of race and color
should not be introduced.

Holland Is Wettest

But more of that later. What 7
want to call attention to is the Dutch.
Back in my school days | had read
that they were the cleanest people on
earth, indeed that one Dutch house
wife had dropped from exhaustion in
the attempt to scour a black man,
white. In my subconscious being
were also thoughts of certain we'll

man chasing dirt.

paradise of cleanliness. Imagine,
then, my surprise at seeing Rotter-
dam, which is one of the dirtiest and
most ill-kept cities | have seen. In
one quarter, won't say which, had
to hold my nose. The inside of the
homes l saw were of the same de-
grees of cleanliness one finds in Eng
land, France. the United States, or
elsewhere. |, for one, do not think
that the Dutch are tidier housekeep-

cans.
Colored Folk
There are a good many colored
people in Rotterdam, most of them
sailors. They come from Dutch Guia-
ma, the Cape Verde Islands, the Dutch
East Indies, Africa, and elsewhere,
and may be found principally on a
street bearing the formidable name
of Schiedamschedjik
Slicked Hair
Needless to say there are no color
restrictions of any sort. In one cafe
when the proprietor learned that /
was from America, he eagerly
brought his son-in-law, dark Ne

and his.zwife were as proud of him
as sheilS is, of his freshly slicked

lean Negro, named Wilman, who was
appearing with his wife. an English
woman, at the Luxor Theatre, in a
song and dance act. On the placards
he was advertised as a "Negefsin a
Black and White Act" To these
supplemented Nordics, this was
thought a great novelty.
And this reminds me of another
generalization the. use of the word,
Nordic, to denote a people with color
prejudice. Here are the real Nor
dies, at last, and they haven't any of
it. The Danes, Scandinavians, and
Russians, are all Nordics, and they
haven't any either.
Brutal Beers
The Dutch, however. are the an
cestors of the Beers, who, now that
the Congo has performed, are more
oppressive towards Negroes than 9TH
er peoples, except Southerners. Read,
also, Stedman's book on Dutch Guia-
ma if you would learn how brutal
Hollanders can become. They excel

Eatmcre's Sermons

Some of the largest monograph
record companies in the country are
recording the sermons of our most
ignorant ministers and are offering
these records to the public for sale.
Three or four companies have actu-
ally gone into churches and recorded
not only the sermons of the pastor
bat the means. groans and wailings
of the members. These records are
offered to the public for sale and in
what spirit?
In the spirit of Jest. The record
in itself is considered piece OF
comedy and hardly anything more.
The preacher who permits his SER
mon to be recorded in almost every
case knows that his work will be a
laughmaker, but those simple mind
ed souls who are the "pillars OF
Elder Eatmore's" church are serious.
They take his spoken utterance
when it is understandable as the
last word. II Is their religion.
Sometime ago a radio station in
Texas made a practice of.broadcast-
ing the services of one of 1.-THE Holy
Roller" churches and the people
who caught it on their receiving sets
looked upon it as a huge joke. II
the religion of the illiterate black
man is foolish and comical then
some of us enlightened Americans
ought TO put stop to it. If the
sermons about bleeding moons,
yawning graves, dry bones in the
valley and GabriePs trumpet are
merely the meanderings of semi
civilized people who are slightly re-
moved from pagantry and heathen-
ism then we have some missionary
work to do right here in America.
The phonograph companies are
making money out of the dramatic
but ludicrcus and illiterate below
ings of our blood and thunder
preachers. Will the advanced min
Istry consider II blasphemy or fun?
II so, what will be done?
