1t Is Done

II Is done! Frank Edwards has
been elected next mayor of Seattle.
Colored voters were unanimous in
their support of Mr.. Edwards. New
er before have the colored voters of
Seattle been as united for can
didate as they were for Frank Ed
wards. Colored citizens have felt
during Mrs. Landes' administration
they were not accorded the recogni-
tion to which they are entitled.
1t is perhaps the strongest reason
why they were able to unite on Mr.
Edwards, who has definitely prom
ised the colored citizens more recog-
milton in Seattle's governmental af-
fairs. The colored citizens and vot-
ers of Seattle will watch the atti-
tude of the new mayor and men,
bers of the city council with more
than passing interest. If we get
from Mr.. Edwards and his admin
istration no more consideration than
we received from Mrs. Landes ii
win be time that we begin very
critical examination of our status
as voters in this city
We ought to have positions in Sc
attle's government. With the large
number of places in the city gov
.ernment we ought to have, certain
ly, two or more. There isn't any
real reason why we should not BE-
represented on the park board, the
censorship board, the boxing com
mission or the civil service commits
sion. We ought to have a colored
fire station. We must have more
colored policemen and it is about
time we broke in as motormen and
conductors on Seattle's own street
railway.
Let us get some "spunk" about
us and put in our claims for repre-
isentaticn in every department of the
city government.
Why not?

The Present Need

A mother denied iler son the priv
ilege of studying salesmanship.
She wanted him to be a doctor.
He is now gambler.
That Is a sad case. But from the
larger viewpoint of racial advance
ment it is sadder yet. There is,
amcng colored people, altogether toe
much reverence for the so-called
learned professions = those that
carry titles; Wis, doctors, dentists
lawyers and ministers.
Right after reconstruction that
was all right. These were the first
professions among colored people.
The meanness of the Caucasian had
forced colored men into them. The
white doctor refused to visit colored
patients. The colored doctor came
into his own The white dentist re.
fused to look into the colored
mouth. The colored dentist became
a fact.
But remember this: these profess
ions, splendid as they are, never
theless are dependent for their sue
cess upon money. Money comes
from business, industry. Therefor.
until people of color learn to en-
gage extensively in business, thu
men of these professions can no

The professions don't make bust
nese. Business makes the profes-
ions It affords money for the pro,
fessions. Salesmanship is the bass
of business. Salesmanship is, then,
enc of the bulwarks of the profes-
aions. And it must not be despised
All your men of ambition can not

Christians Sell Liquor
In Africa, says Rogers, Christians
sell liquor to the natives, Moslem
prohibits it. Mchammedans practice
polygamy Perchance, says Rogers,
Christians also believe in concubin-
age.

says Rogers. For nineteen centuries
of missionary efforts the majority of
Christians there are the small num-
Der of Europeans.

Losing Faith

Negroes are questioning the pres
ent brand of Protestant religion as
never before. Hundreds of young
Negroes are openly and avowedly
non-believers and other thousands
who are more timid are admittedly
skeptical. In days gone by Negroes
simply accepted the white mans re-
ligion without thought. Today they
are asking questions-VEtal, start
ling questions. And the answers are
not soul satisfying. Instead of in
creasing the Negroes faith the an
swers increase skepticism to a de-
gree that is alarming.
Negroes do not understand how
welcome signs hanging over a
church door can mean for white
only" They wonder how Christians
can preach and teach Jim Crcwism
while expressing belief in the faith
erhood of God and the brotherhood
of man. They frankly doubt the sim
cerity of those who worship a Di-
vine Master, who is the exponent
of human kindness, and at the same
time Cypress others who believe in
the same God and worship at a sim
liar shrine.
1.-The race problem ought not be
mixed up with the problem of en-
forcing the eighteenth amendment.
But the race problem can not much
longer be evaded by a church sensi-
tive to the mind of Christ" writes
the editor of The Christian Century
The race problem and every other
problem dealing with justice and
human rights ought to be attacked
by the Christian Church. Since so
many church people believe that
the eighteenth amendment should be
enforced ii seems that the better
policy would be to mix up the en-
forcement of all laws with it. The
church is a militant organization
battling for the triumph of the prin-
oiples taught by the Lowly Naza-
rene.
To equivocate, to dodge and com
promise with the fundamental laws
of justice is to evade the first prin-
ciples CT Christianity. If this is done
the church leaders are not carrying
out instructions. Because, instead of
constraining "all men" to accept
Christianity. they are driving thou
sands of people away from the
/ church.

Negro. The burning zeal to lay down
his life and make widows and or
phans of his women folk for the
white mans money quarrels, which
we are apt to evince in moments of
national hysteria, should be consid-
erably cooled by the coming of the
above figures.
Archibald Motley Jr. has arrived
at last. For ten years he has done
every kind of labor that man can
do, and that an artist ought not to
have to do, but he has won the
Frank Logan medal and prize at the
Chicago Art Institute and achieved
the honor of a one-man exhibition
in Manhattan-never before done by
a Negro, and has sold pictures to
millionaires, which is best of all. He
will not have to do plumbing and coal
heaving and waiting on Pullman din
ing car tables any more. Another

Negro.
According to the Atlanta Indepen-
dent, there are only two major op-
jections to Secretary Hoover's can
didacy. "First, it is feared that he
won't be regular Second, the col
ored people suspect that the enthu-
siasm of the lily-whites and the
floating Democrats spell bad omen
for them"
Well, il anyone can find any hur-
die higher than those two he would
be genius. Add to that, Clarence
Barrow says he has had a drink
with Hoover. But then, that cheer
full optimism and awestruck belief
that whatever is regular Republican
is absolutely right is ever a charac-
teristic CT the brother.
This is going to be great CAM

That is, in reality.

party and the Democratic party the
poor colored brother is backed into
wall, trying to find a loose plank
somewhere SO he can slip through
and sit down and catch his breath.

TraVeIair Plane Here

A new Travelair monoplane, one
of the newest type ships manufac-
tured by the Travelair company,
was flown to Indianapolis from the
factory at Wichita, Kan, Sunday
morning by Harold c. Brooks, the
Hoosier airport secretary treasurer.
Brooks made the 675-mile trip
from Wichita in five hours, fifty
five minutes flying time.
The big monoplane, powered with
a Wright Whirlwind engine was the
center of interest at the Hoosier air.
port, where it will be used for pas
senger flights and aerial taxi work,
Sunday afternoon.
Equipped for two pilots and four
passengers, it is arranged so two
more passenger seats may be in
stalled in the space at the rear left
for baggage.
Persons taking rides in it Sunday
afternoon were enthusiastic over
comfort, feeling of safety and ease
with which the big plane was
handled.
Brooks reported that on the trip
from Wichita he was operating the
controls not more than half an
hour, the ship almost flying itself
on the entire trip.
