Poem This Week
THE MAN.

grudge to no man his form of prayer,
| quarrel not with any creed,
This world has room enough to spare
For all the roads which upward lead.
A kindly heart is always fair
No matter what its cast or breed
Who plays the friend from day to day,
Who sometimes puts himself aside
To smooth another's troubled way,
Who scorns the arrogance of pride
However he may choose to pray,
I'm sure will never be denied.
For man must live his life on earth,
Where hate and sin and wrong
abound,
IT'S here the soul must prove its
worth
IT'S here the strength of it is found,
And he has justified his birth
Who plants one rose on barren
ground.
The test is: Is he kind and true,
Too big to play the brute or cheat?
In all he does and tries to do
Is he man men like to meet?
If so. | say, when life is through
He need not fear the judgment seat.

Mixed Marriages

II is unfortunate that the question
of racial integrity and intermarriage
is one that so many educators con-
slider timely before college students.
Witness the address of DR.. r. R.
Motion, president of Tuskegee Insti-
tute, Alabama, before the students
of Utica Normal and Industrial In
stitutc at Utica, Mississippi, as re-
ported in this issue ef THE ENTER
PRISE.
DR.. Motion spoke to group of
young people three-fourths Negro
and one-fourth white, who had moth
ing to do with the fact that they had
mixed blood in their veins. The
stronger race not the weaker one
should have this lesson in keeping
race stocks pure.
As to intermarriage, the question
has been settled by law in all the
southern states. Such laws work a
hardship on the women of the
weaker race, but nevertheless they
are laws and are enforced. In those
states where no laws against inter-
.
a question of individual choice.
Would DR.. Motion have these states
also pass anti-marriage laws?
The so-ealled race problem is the
hardest nut the Negro-American has
to crack. 1t keeps him out of the
vote, out of comfortable pullman
cars. out of places of amusement,
and oftimes out of an education.
Because of color, Negroes go hun
cry with money in their pockets and
do mental work, because the skilled
jobs are not open to them.
If there are any difficulties more
serious than these, we have yet to
hear them mentioned. But they are
not to be solved by discussing racial
integrity or race differences.
Mr.. Clarence Darrow's doctrine
that there is no race except the hu-
man race needs a hearing in the
South. Incidently, a man of Naza
reth preached from the same text
nineteen hundred years ago.

Watching Chicago

Oscar OePriest has been selected
by the Congressional Committee of
the First District of Illinois as the
Republican candidate for Congress
to succeed the late Congressman
Madden. Usually the nomination is
tantamount to election. In the in
stant case Mr.. DePriest will be elect
ed unless the Negro vote is split
among several Negro aspirants. And
according to news coming from Chi
cago Negro may not go to Con-
gress, because of that very thing.
As general proposition every
man has the right to aspire for any
political position. There is nothing
wrong in putting oneself forward as
a candidate for office. 1t is per-
tious. In many instances ambition is
a laudable thing. At times, how
ever, it is dangerous.
The Negroes throughout America
are watching Chicago. They feel
that there is an opportunity for an
other Negro to sit in Congress. Il
is infinitely more than the election
of DePriest or Harrison or any other
man. 1t means that Negroes will
have representation in the law maxi
ing body of the National Govern
ment. The elevation of Negro to
Congress is far above and beyond
the confines of Chicago. Every black
man, whether he lives in Florida or
Maine, will be happier if Chicago
Negroes send one of their own to
Congress.
Because of the Importance o f
electing a Congressman of color pet
ty ambitions should be submerged;
dislikes should be forgotten and all
efforts conferred on the main OBJ
jective-the election of colored
Congressman. If the colored people
lose this chance the man or set of
men responsible are traitors of the
worst type. Common sense would
seem to dictate that all forces rally
around one man in order to make
his election sure. Negroes of Chi
cago, your brothers all over the Uni
ted States are watching you.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW WORK. June 4.-UneaSiness
over the credit situation had its re-
Election in the movement of curb prices
today. Is the session progressed the
movement became more and more ir-
regular and there was a noticeable dis
position on the part of actual holders
of stocks to realize profits,
The market opened active and order
ly, and with the course of the first
hour numerous new high records were
marked up. These, however. were not
wholly maintained ana in the case of
several noteworthy strong spots all the
early improvement was lost,
Chilean Nitrate Breaks.
Anglo Chilean Nitrate, which had
been bid up more than lS points last
week. opened unchanged on a block of
1900 shares. Heavy selling orders sub
Sequently broke the price sharply. This
was taken to indicate that much of the
recent buying had been based merely
upon the technical position of the mar
ket and had little to do with actual
conditions in company affairs.
Crossing Is. Durant Motors was bid
up several points to a new high for the
year. The demand evidently was be-
lated response to the optimistic predic-
tons OF w. c. Durant concerning the
outlook for the company and the in
duStry generally.
Newmont Mines Gains.
Newmont Mines and Noranda con-
tinued to improve. discounting the out
look for higher metal prices through
which both companies stand to benefit
materially. The oil shares backed and
filed. but there was a noticeable scare
ATTY of Prairie Pipe Line around current
prices. Interests close To company af-
fairs are said to have accumulated the
issues in anticipation of larger earn
ings through increased pipe line runs.
Utilities were featured by Lehigh
Power Securities. which went into new
high ground While these special moves
were taking place other issues were be-
ing freely supplied whenever bids came
into the market.

STOCK PRICE INDEX
UP DURING WEEK.
All but Two Groups of Shares,
Utilities and Preferreds,
Have Advance.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, June A
strong week found every price index
registering a gain except two. public
utilities and preferreds, whose index
drops were small. Motors. still going
along in high, gained points, auto ac-
cessories also netted a APPOINT rise,
while stores, coppers and steels jumped
4, 4, and index points, respectively.
The chief price drop in public util-
tiles was suffered by Western Unicn.
Among the preferreds, Baltimore &
Ohio, Endicott-Johnson and Lorillard
eased off that group index.
Chrysler. Studebaker and Mack Truck
rolled up the main motors price jumps
as American Bosch Magnetic aided ac-
cessory price levels and City Stores "B"
provided the chief impetus for the
stores group price gain.
CLANCY Issues Strong.
The special market trend was clearly
reflected by the third-grade industrials,
the more CLANCY issues. which gained
3l2 index points. as against the second
grade industrials with 2i2-point rise
and the first-grade issues, which showed
a bare 1-point jump.
