SEEMS
TOME
By HAYWOOD
lBROUN

DALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. lat
4 last I've found Floridan whose
spirit was sufficiently stanch to ride
the gale as if it were a bucking
bronco.
II suppose" I said to the Negro
pushing the wheel-chair, that your
house was destroyed in the big
storm" BY now I've learned not to
call it the hurricane.
mo, sir" he said, mot mine.
Built it with my own hands and
my own tools. I've rid out four OF
EN-. Never even lost the roof. OF
course this last time my windows
went, but that was just on account
OF the other houses blowing into
mine"
And there was another man
whose ego seemed to have prohted
by the catastrophe of last summer.
This was the white skipper Of
fishing boat and he said that the
hurricane was the finest thing
which had ever happened to him.
Yes. of course he was frightened.
Never in his life had be seen any
thing so terrific in diabolical fury.
But" he said, "after it was all
over I was still there, and ! thought
to myself, nothing could possible re
worse than this, and even it couldn't
kill me. How can I possibly ever
get scared of anything again?"
Most historians agree that even
1t there had never been Civil war,
the south would have abolished
slavery in another generation. Wise
men in the southern states were
beginning to realize that from sheer
self-interest the institution could
not be preserved.
They were less moved by the
thought that it was bad for the
Negro than by the realization that
1t was increasingly harmful to the
white.
The southerner of today ought to
go a step further than this and
realize that the present status of the
Negro is handicapping the entire
south, both white and black.
1t is, extremely difficult to develop
civilization under democratic forms
in any community which harbors a
helot class. I'm aware that the
Greeks did it, but there seems at
the moment to be no proof that
Athens, Ga, is likely to duplicate
the glories of the more ancient city.
The average southerner is kindly
and pleasant enough to the Negro
as long as he knows his place. It
is the uppity Negro who arouses the
Ire of the ruling classes.
I AS I understand it, the southern
white man sets up barriers against
the Negro because he is afraid that
anything approaching social equal
lty would mean the adlnixture of
the races.
The Nordics of the south are
committed to the purity Of the white
strain. According to the familiar
saying, the mulatto inherits the
worst features of both white and
black.
I will not stop to ask for any
PROOF OF this oft-repeated assertion.
Indeed, I must confess my own be-
Lief that when two races, however.
divergent, live side by side, mixture
between them is almost inevitable.
This may be bad This may be good.
I'm merely saying that it seems to
happen.
One effective barrier, and one
only, may be raised up against adj
mixture. That is pride of race.

Not Less but More

ONCE heard James Weldon
~ johnson, secretary of the AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
the Negro People, make speech in
which he said that in most every
southern state far more was appro-
priated for the education of white
children than was spent on a ike
number of Negro children.
Il don't understand that" he said.
because most southern white men
say that the Negro child is much
more stupid. In that case twice as
much ought TO be spent on his edu-
cation as is spent on the white
children"
It will be said that I have no
right to voice an opinion on the
Negro problem after spending one
week in Florida. But as a matter of
fact 1t Is the white problem which
I am discussing.
No ruling class ever has benefited
in the long run by the existence
Of a peasant class. For one week
I have been moving about among
Negro men who continually touch.
their hats and "sir" any visitor. And
IN a weeks time I feel that these
ridiculous rites have in some way
injured me.
But If this process went on, not
for a week, but for months and
years. think it might have per-
manently harmful effect. A certain
number Of white men In the south
are so busy being superior that they

ATEW YORK, july 0.-1he latest
~ development in the Dempsey
situation happily reaches a new
high level in absurdity. say
happily" because I thought it was

els. Dempsey is quoted rs having
phoned Bill Duffy. the Broadway
cabaret man, from the west coast
urging him Mr.. Duffy to take
over his management and proceed
Immediately TO make matches for
him, with any and everybody.
It seems that while Dempsey
was phoning Duffy, Gene Normi,e'
one of his former managers, was
at his elbow. Singularly enough,
Normile desired to make an offer
at that very moment for Demp-
sey's services for a fight to be held
In late December in Mexico.

DUFFY also added that if Bill
IL Carey Of the Garden has any
idea Of doing business with Dempsey
he VIII have to come around and
see him. Obviously all of this IS
strictly the noOev. There is a very
large catch in it somewhere.
.yus, what the arick angle is I am
not sure. But if anybody thinks
Dempsey needs Duffy or anybody
else TO get him a match he is
crazy. Duffy is a very affable
yCung man and a popular figure
among the boulevardiers. but the
suggestion that Dempsey needs
him To clinch a business trans
action is a bit far fetched, if not
laughable.

DEMPSEY A CHECK FOR HIS SHARE OF

II Normile has 100000 to offer
1 Dempsey and any intention of
offering it you can be reasonably
sure he isn't going to make the offer
through Duffy, Addison or even old
Gus Pancake. Furthermore, the
possibility of a Dempsey match in
Mexico under the auspices of
Normile and his associates was first
preached two months ago and I
happen to know it was just as much
Dempsey's idea as Normue's.
OF MUCH GREATER INTEREST THAN
THE POSSIBILITY THAT DUFFY MAY
BE THE NEW DEMPSEY MANAGER IS
THE FUTURE or TIE OLD MAN MAUI
