gardiess OF race or color with that
careful and uncompromising service
that party politics 1adened with m
holy prejudice would not drift in
simply because the ward was Re-

political hi-jacker who stoops TO anv

would breed into the minds of people.

a cry that Moran is a Democrat. but
in fairness to the man regardless Of his
party affiliation, reason for yourself the
character Of service and the willing

untried subject that they propose to
defeat Alderman Moran with.
AS the campaign passes on we will

THE. NATIONAL NEGRO HIS
TORY WEEK CELEBRATION
FROM FEBRUARY S TO 10, IN
elusive, RICHLY DESERVES
TO BE OBSERVED BY THE
LOR ED P E o P L E
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED
STATES
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1927-02-05


Schools, churches and social agen-
cies win pause during this second
week of February to invite attention
to- the long neglected record Of the
Negro. This week, which covers the
birthday of Lincoln and approaches
that Of Douglass, is most appropriate
occasion for this timely observance.
Around the story Of these great char
acters and others who have worked
for the benefit of humanity and for the
Negro in particular, the brilliant record
Of the Negro may be so dramatized as
to inspite the Negro youth to noble
deeds.
To invite attention to the romantic
story of the Negro, there have been
engaged throughout the country, nu-
merous teachers, ministers, profess
sional men, and leaders Of business,
who will participate in various exer-
cises held throughout the week. Public
schools will use the hour Of assembly
for this purpose. City and state school
authorities have set aside special days
of this week and social uplift agencies
will hold appropriate exercises in the
evenings. The enthusiasm has de-
cidedly increased since last year, when
this celebration was held for the first
time, and the preliminary reports from
the field indicate that it will be in
every sense of the word a national
celebration.
The people throughout the country
have been called upon to do certain
definite things. They are asked to or
ganize their community through COM
mittees for the celebration, to appeal
to their board Of education for the
adoption of Negro history textbooks,
to interest their library and school in
securing a shelf Of scientific works on
the Negro and pictures of distin-
guished men of the race, to urge every
one to write the Association all he
knows about Negro family history and
to send it any important documents
bearing on the record Of the Negro.
This is not money raising effort.
The Association requests that the ct
forts now being made to assist it in
raising funds be disconnected alto
gether from the celebration. The week
is to be observed as a purely racial
uplift effort. He who uses the oc-
casion to charge for singing song or
delivering a discourse does not catch
the spirit of the movement and should
be avoided. If any money is raised,
it should be used to do some of the
definite things suggested, especially
that Of purchasing for local schools
and libraries pictures of distinguished
Negroes and useful books bearing on
record of the race.
The Negro must either convince the
world that he has record as glorious
as that of any other race or remain
content with a fixed status of inferi-
ority. The greatest scholars Of today
are saying that there is no such thing
as race in science and that there is
nothing in anthropology or psychology
to support such myths, as the inferi-
ority and superiority of races. These
truths, however, will have little bear
ing on the uplift of the Negro, if they
are left in the state of academic dis
cussion. There must be an actual
demonstration. The Negro must learn
his past and publish it to this preju-
diced world.

THIS WEEK
Ernest Rice Mckinney
Mr.. Malone-The Ass

4SAAs 4NAoAOAAS IN <A0S
Mr.. Aaron Malone, Mrs. Annie Ma
lone's husband and a former book
agent and small town school teacher,
is making a grand effort to destroy
Poro College and all that goes with it.
Malone is attempting to get one-half
of something that he doesn't own and
something that he has done very little
to help build. Poro College is the
brain child of Mrs. Malone. The bust
ness is the result-almost solely-of
her determination, grit and ability. As
far as I can learn, Malone was some
thing of a parasite, a gentleman who
got the glory and gained wide popu-
larity due to the fact that he had mar
ried woman who was smart enough
to build an enterprise that really
brought in-the dollars.
Such marriages are seldom success
full. Usually the man in the case
chafes under such conditions and ends
up by making an ass Of himself. 1t
seems that Malone has done just this
thing. Not only this, but his course
will do no good to Poro College. White
men have entered into its innermost
workings and will come away with a
large part of the income and the work
ing plans of the organization. This
will put the receivers or some Of their
friends in position to start the same
kind of business.
Malone is taking advantage Of a pro-
vision of our archaic legal system. He
will probably get something. / don't
believe, however, that he will be able
to build anything as lasting and as
worthwhile as Poro College. Mrs
Malone and the rest Of US would have
perhaps been better off if he had con-
tinued teaching school and peddling
books.

Our State Department

0uL 0ldbC 0Cpu4 tIHCuL
Mr.. Kellogg and the White House
spokesman-having settled affairs in
Mexico and Nicaragua to the partial
satisfaction of the oil companies and
certain New York banks-have now
turned their attention to China. The
Secretary tells the Chinese that Amer
lean lives must be protected, also
American property. He says that he
is willing though to make some con-
cessions. For instance, China should
be free and self-governed. Mr.. KEEL
logg said that he is also willing to
concede that Americans should be sub
ject to the laws of China and be tried
in Chinese courts.
Of course, the State Department
will have nothing to do with Canton
Communists. They want the militarist
dictator of Peking to be president Of
united country. Chinese will never
submit to this because the most en-
lightened of them know that such a
change will NOT give their country
freedom. They know that the allies
will back the military dictator and con-
ditions will be no different from the
present. I hope that the Cantonese
will fight until they have driven every
foreigner out and set up a free gov
eminent Of the Chinese, for the Chi
nese and by the Chinese.

Quick On-the- Trigger" Preacher

The. Rev. ]. Frank Norris, Texas
killer, is out and free. To be sure, no
one expected him to be convicted. HUI
man life is cheap all over the United
States. 1t isn't worth anything in
Texas and other points south. Gun
"totin," even among preachers, is re-
garded as a mark of social eminence
throughout the south. 1t is perfectly
proper to STAY ones enemy.
When Norris left the court house
he was met by thousands of his fero-
cious followers. Jehovah had answered
their prayers and their beloved "medi-
cine man" was free again to vocifer-
ously hurl his poisoned darts at evolu-
ton and the Modernists. To date,
however, it has not been reported that
the Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton sent
message of congratulation and con-
ISOLATION.

Divorce Filth

Divorce Filth
The public is being subjected to
spectacle after spectacle in the form of
filth singing divorce trials. Lita,
Charlie, Daddy and Peaches are the
latest. Nothing is too nasty, lewd,
and salacious to be told and aired in
court before the degenerates that
crowd in to hear and giggle.
1t seems that the United States is
rapidly becoming a real Moronia.
Added to the sickening dementia of
the principals in the scheming and
conniving of the lawyers. They are
the real fly in the ointment. They help
frame these cases and make them as
dirty as possible The worst of per-
verified sexual practices is paraded.
The wives of Chaplain and that con-
slant scoundrel, Browning, have said
things about their husbands that are
not fit to print or read. According to
these mentally backward young woIn-
en-, they and their husbands have been
living in slime and filth. There was
no limit. The most disgusting sexual
practices were the order of the day.
The lives Of these two couples, accord
ing to the testimony OF the wives
were as far from normal as possible.
I should think that this sort of thing
would drive more than a few healthy
judges from the bench.
