Going to Heaven

81 have not the slightest desire
to go to heaven" reads an adver-
tisement of revolutionary book on
religion in a current magazine.
What do care about a harp or a
crown, or pair of golden slippers
to walk the golden streets.
Mr.. R. F. Foster calls himself a
revolutionary writer and tells why
he believes heaven and hell theories
to be rank superstition.
The truth is that none of us want
to go to heaven NOW.
Even those who know the most
about heaven and can describe it
most fully are not eager to see the
golden streets and sample milk and
honey. If it were physically posi-
bic fer us to stay here forever, most
of us would "suffer the ills we have,
rather than fly to others known not
Of" We know we shall not be con-
suited in the firal moments about
our resting place.

Suicide Theory

II is claimed that only the highly
developed races commit suicide and
the black race being inferior and
backward never took the issues of
life so seriously that they would
destroy themselves. A close student
of fact can observe by following the
newspapers published by black peo-
pie that an epidemic Of suicide has
attacked the black race in America.
Almost daily some dusky man or
woman takes his own life. AS
among the other races of the world
those of lighter specific gravity"
fall victims to the lure of ending
their mortal existence; and our wo-
men constitute the majority of the
suicides. 1t means that they feel
keenly the baleful conditions of life,
II means that they respond to the
hurts of ill-fortune, il means that
the strain and struggle for life in
America has made them unstable
and that they are no longer able to
resist the fearful distress of body
and mind which America puts them
under. 1t means that they are SEN
sitive, intelligent creatures who
think and brood over the affairs
of life.
When race of people begins to
think and brood something must
happen and something will. There
is famous bridge in Japan from
which hundreds of Japanese students
hurl themselves because of failure
in their studies. The japanese peo-
pie are taking faster and quicker
steps along the paths of civilization
than most of the other races and it
is curious fact that suicides multi
ply with race progress. Maybe even
out of our seif-destruction, mans
most repugnant and hideous crime,
some hope can be found to dispel
the gloom, aG any rate they can no
longer claim us inferior and distinct |
because we do not commit suicide. |

D. The employment of the Negro
musical idiom melodically, rhythmi-
cally and harmonically will largely
influence the judges in determining
the winning compositions, although
quality of musical though and work
manship will be the first considera-
ton. The Negro idiom is preferable,
but not necessary.
6. The contest is limited to Negro
composers of American citizenship.
A composer may enter as many COM
positions as he wishes in each class.
2. Contestants are urged to keep
an extra copy of the submitted COM
positions. Manuscripts will be re-
turned only upon request and when
the necessary amount of postage is
enclosed in the sealed envelope with
the real name and address of the
contestant. Every possible means
will be used to safeguard the manu-
scripts, but the Robert Curtis Ogden
Association assumes no responsible
ity for lost manuscripts.
8. The copyright of the success
full manuscripts of each class shall
remain the property of the Robert
Curtis Ogden Association for six
months after the award shall have
been made, at the close of which
time the copyright and all other
rights in these compositions shall re-
vert to the composers. The original
manuscripts of the winning compo-
sitions shall, at the option of the
Robert Curtis Ogden Association, re-
main the permanent property of said
association for filing in it's archives,
this, however, not interfering in any
manner with the rights of the COM
positions reverting to the composers
at the expiration of six months, or
sooner, at the option of the associa-
ton.
8. The rights of public perfor-
nance of the winning numbers shall
be vested in the Robert Curtis Og-
den Association for the period of
three months.

The Primary Victory

One of the most important, if not
the most momentous, decisions hand
ed down by the United States SUI
preme court in the last so years and
the opening wedge in the change of
political content of the solid South,
is the United States supreme court
Interpretation that the right to vote
applies to primaries as well as gen.
eral elections.
While crafty politicians of the
Southland may resort to other meth
DDS to deprive colored men and wom-
en- of their constitutional right to
the ballot and temporarily halt the
mandate of the country's highest tri-
bunal, the principle has been elevat-
ed to the surface and it will show
now to be up to race voters to see to
it that we benefit by this far reach
ing decision.
The first benefits will come, no
doubt, in the effect the decision will
have in widening the political hori-
ION of the group of voters in the
South. 1t is not improbable that
there are some liberal-minded white
men even in Texas who might well
come chance to help wipe out some
of the lines which have tended to
keep hidebound white Democrats and
hidebound colored Republicans apart
in matters of local political concern.
II also is probable that there will be
many broadminded race men and
women who have come to the cross
roads where they refuse to worship
everything Republican and damn
everything Democratic.
To all of these the recent supreme
court decision will offer a wonderful
opportunity to serve the interests of
good American government.

Khan VS., barrow

Now the Khan is menacing Clar-
ence barrow, one of Americas most
noble champions of human liberty.
barrow dared tell the truth to few
black people in Alabama and the
Khan Immediately went into session
and with venom sought to do damage
to this rugged man. This man OAR
row had committed no legal offense,
had violated no espionage law, but
had merely INDUCED in the freedom
of speech before his fellow American
citizens. There are those who will
defend the Khan and swear by its
unholy principles and there are those
who will defend lynching, peonage
and slaughter, but they are not true
Americans. barrow represents the
highest type of American manhood,
The Khan and its supporters are in
truth the opponents of the invisible
empire of the DEVIL

Rights and Duties

IL is an accepted maxim both in
law and society that every right
carries with it a correlative duty.
To receive the right and fail to
perform the duty is to admit the un-
fitness for the right. Since the ter
rible miasma of slavery and the
years following emancipation the
black man has been and still is
elamoring for his rights. The cry
was first hurled to the heavens that
God might hear and answer. Later
the plea. pious though just, has been
born on the wings of sound and
printed word to the country. The
constant intoning has partially sue
ceeded. 1t has focused the con-
seriousness of a beleaguered people
on things denied but rightfully
theirs. 1t has also caused an un-
willing yielding on the part of those
who have willfully denied these
rights.
In most northern states the right
to live where we. please has been
won in spite of intimidation, bomb
ing and bloodshed. The right of
equal accommodations in public
places has been fought through the
courts. Suffrage and the equal edu-
cation of our youth as individual
citizens and not as a despised class
is coming after a bitter and unceas-
ing struggle. Let us then remem-
Der the duties that go with these
rights. The duty to make where
we live clean and wholesome. Let
our actions in public places COM
mand respect and not censure. Let
our children receive their education
with clean minds and clean hands.
Let us cast our votes intelligently
and not like dumb driven cattle.
While the demand for our rights
continues let us not forget the du-
ties already imposed upon us, lest
the cry go forth that we are not
fitted for the rights we now enjoy.

Negro History
The Negro AS a Soldier

As a soldier, the Negro has ac-
quilted himself with honor in all
American wars. Crispus Attacks,
who fell in the Boston Massacre, was
among the first to give himself as a
sacrifice for the independence of
this country. In 1775, Salem Poor
showed such military proves in the
battle at Charlestown that fourteen
white officers reported him to Con-
gress as having behaved like an ex-
perienced officer as well as an ex-
cellent soldier. Austin Dabney dis
tinguislred himself for, bravery in
many skirmishes with the British and
Tories in Georgia. Negro soldiers
stood out with equal valor in the
War of 1919 They fought bravely
under Perry and Marlborough. Men
of color came 10 Andrew Jackson's
rescue in battle of New Orleans in
1914.
In the Civil War, the Negro sol
der gave a Still better account of
himself. OF those fighting at Port
Hudson one said "The deeds of
heroism performed by these colored
men were such as the proudest
white men might emulate" At Fort
Wagner the 54th Massachusetts,,
Negro Regiment, stood like heroes
in the midst of carnage and evoked
from their superiors the heartiest
thanks for their courage and dash
They convinced observers that Ne
groes cannot be excelled as sol
diers.
In the Spanish-American War, Ne
gro bravery furnished one of the
most gratifying incidents. Their
fighting at Santiago was all but
wonderful.
In the punitive expedition, un-
der General Pershing, in Mexico,
in 1916 members of the l 9th Caval-
ry and the Gath Infantry distin-
guished themselves at Carizal as
the heroes of the hour.
In the World War, Negro troops
and officers were praised as cour-
ageous men, admirable in attack.
Their bravery won the admiration
of observers and the gratitude of
France, to the salvation of which
they made a distinct and valuable

The Human Heart
BY FRANK CARLETON NELSON


There's heap o. love in the human
heart.
II we just dig down a bit;
It's the masterpiece of a Mighty
Hand,
And He gave His best to IL.
There's heap o. good in the most
of men,
Just underneath the skin.
And much would show that we
never know,
Could We only look within.
There's lot inside that we never
see,
And perhaps we never know
Till fortunes turn and we're down
and out,
Or sickness strikes us low.
And the heart is true in the most
of men,
When the truth is really known.
And we often find that the heart
is kind.
That we thought was as cold as
stone.
We sometimes tire of the road so
rough,
And the hill that seems so steep,
And we sometimes feel that hope is
gone,
AS we sit alone and weep.
And then when our faith is burning
low,
And we lose our trust in men,
True friends appear with a word of
cheer
And the sun comes out again.
And SO claim that the heart Of
man
Is about what 1t ought to be,
For it's made of goodness through
and through
Could we look inside and see.
God made all things and He made
them we'll,
On the true and perfect plan,
But He did His best in the greatest
test
When He made the heart of man.
