Tom-Foolery

American black people going
across the pond in search of free
dom and fortune are, from various
reports, abusing both. The musical
and theatrical world, underworld or
perhaps half world has offered the
most enticing lure and opportunity
and our people in those professions
have caught the eye of Europe.
They have caught 1t with something
new and bizarre. Miss Josephine
Baker attempted to get some cheap
publicity by virtue of the marriage
to count" cock-and-bull story Ia
ter she offended the public with her
nude dances and was barred from a
European country. other reports re-
veal that our people are throwing
their money away in riotous living,
treading the primrose path and ma
king fools of themselves in general.
Americans of African descent should
interest themselves in seeing that
we do not poison the minds of the
European people with our TOM
foolery

The Mass Meeting

There is being manifested con-
siderable interest in the mass meet
ing of eolored citizens to be held
Sunday afternoon under auspices of
the King County Colored Republi-
can Club. The meeting is called to
bring about better understanding
and cooperation among our people
for the mutual good of the race.
Any people who will not get to-
gether on any one thing for the
good of the whole or for any cause
bigger than an individual member
of the whole are their own enemies.
There are enough honors that could
come to the race in Seattle far
more than there are Negroes capa-
BILE of filling If we weren't too in
fernal little to get together. There
are too many of us perverted with
hate. envy and jealousy. We carry
chips on our shoulders for each
other every day in the year. In
stead of getting together and max
ing a united effort to get some
where, we divide and get nowhere.
1t is highly encouraging to note
the interest in the call of the King
County Colored Republican Club.
We expect splendid results from the
concerted efforts Of our sterling
men composing this worthy organi-
cation; they seem filled with the
spirit of enthusiasm and are reso-
lutte in their purpose to bring about
better understanding and coopera-
a. Thfa

people. 1t is our hope that we may
step knocking and become optimis-
tic boosters for a closer relation
ship between all classes of our peo-
pie. Attend the mass meeting next

Folks say If one may have fault. i.

That serves excuse to criticize
The weakness in the other;
Contrariwise the Scripture states
Jes who should cast the boulder 4.

An all what Jesus told herr!

friend,
At least, in this connection.
So can dare to throw a brick
Right straight in your direction +. i.
About this thing of making time
Exactly on the minute.
If you've not formed the habit, son,
Start right now to begin it!
They call us this, they call us that,
In figures false, distorted;
Not always does the censure come
From neighbors evil-hearted
For lots they say of us is true .
Though we're not vain or tickle,
When it comes down to tacks of brass
Our words not worth a nickel!
You doubt it? Make an urgent
date
With men of wealth and power,
Then urge some Jazzbos to be there
Prompt at a certain hour.
tits Just for their advantage, mind
But, 6omrade, sure as Fate
They'll promise-but come moping in
Full half an hour late!
So we'll we understand ourselves
We loiter, do not care,
But pass it off with Whats the use
The others won't be there"
And more the censure, for we see
And do not curb the crime,
But laugh and joke about it as
"The Colored Peoples Time"
But tits small matter for jest
Or slight consideration.
A word of honor is the crest

And shall we be an aimless breed,
Despised, mistrusted, driven? >.

When once our pledge is given?

A Good Will Tour

Lindbergh landed In Haiti and
was embraced by President Borno,
head man of the American interest
in the black republic. He was shown
the statue of the hero who broke
the French yoke and also an avenue
that was named after himself.
Lindbergh thought that he was re-
ally being received by an independ-
ent black republic, but that was not
the case as Haiti is stifled and
crushed by American oppression, in
trigue and exploitation and has
been stated above, its president,
Borno, is the leading exponent OF
the prevailing system. Lindbergh
carries goodwill wherever he goes
and 1t is well that he stopped In
Haiti because there is one country
that needs goodwill. Another good
method of our country showing this
goodwill is by letting the Haitiant
alone.

sponsible for the color of our skin
or the texture of our hair; and 1t
is both narrow and foolish to spring
this question among ourselves. We
are, however, accountable for the
