today if there had been more PRO-
TESTS by them. Even in the days
of slavery when colored people had
not the rights Of dogs, the slave
who was most badly mistreated and
beaten, was the one who begged and
nleaded. and not the one who PRO-
TESTED.
1t is fair to say that I endorse
certain advice which has been oyer
ed these students as to how they
should have PROTESTED. This is
in place. Tho a man, who has been
shortchanged by a merchant, does
not need to use a shot gun in de-
handing his proper change, he is
certainly justified in demanding,
rather then %entreating and suppli-
eating. I wish to emphasize that /
am expressing my gratitude that
these students had the nerve and
backbone to PROTEST.
Even granting that they exage-
rated the wrongs of this particu-
lar case, they receive enough UNI
fair treatment in the Richmond
Public School system, to warrant
PROTESTS from students, parents
and colored people generally. Note
this-white people have already
PROTESTED and words were not
minced in criticising, in public
print, the treatment given colored
people in their schools of Richmond.

-
The results of last Tuesdays cleo
ton tell US that Republican strategy
has failed. The election also tells
us that the Solid South is yet solid.
It would not surprise us to see an
entire change of front in the man
agemen tof the Republican Party.
The results of last Tuesday are so
balanhi vo
staggering that one can hardly
balance himself to interpret it. But,
first of all the results in Ohio, where
the Democrats seemed to have won
the Governors chair, a Senator and
several Congressman, was Prohibi-
ton, Depression and the Parker vote
cutting a big figure. The loss of
Ohc can be traced Directly to the
door of the s~trategsts of the Repub-
leans. The advisers of the President
have told him that they can throw
the Negro over in North Carolina,
and yet hold the race vote in Ohio,
Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York.
This advice which we suspect
comes from Richmond, Va, from
a famous wrecker of the Republican
party in this state has failed miser-
ably. In 1920 the so-called white
Republican party at the advice of this
now famous adviser read the Negro
out. In 1928 this adviser made a
showing and took the state of Vir-
ginia from the Democrats on a finn
sy issue, Grace, Romanism and
Rum. In 1929, this same man offer
ed DR.. William Mosley Brown of
Lexington, up to sacrifice on the
same f1imsy issue, with hate added to
it.
In 1880 on account of a death on
the Supreme bench, a new member
was to be appointed. Again this
bearer of good news from the
south suggested the name of Judge
Parker, an avowed enemy of the con-
stitution of the U. S. The President
accepted the suggestion and with
almost certain defeat facing him,
held to his nominee, who was igno-
m~iniously defeated. But the defeat
of Judge Parker was not the end of
it. The men who voted for him, who
could i'll be lost from the Senate
have been followed into theid dis
tricts by the N. A. A. C. P, our most
aggressiv organization and helped
to defeat them, because of their
vote in the now famous Parker case.
Of our it would be foolish to give
credit to the alienated Negro vote
for the defeat of the party in pivo-

Editor, The Richmond Planet
From the innermost recesses OF
my very soul, I applaud and con.
graduate the Armstrong High
School pupils for their recent PRO.
TEST against what they believed
to be Unfair treatment. / have pur,
posely delayed sending this article
because / wish it to be considered
coolly and calmly.
This PROTEST is the beginning
of an epoch in the history OF color
ed people here. Every n of them
ought to join me in applauding and
congratulating these students for
having backbone and grit enough
to do some PROTESTING. There
has been entirely too much petition
ing, pleading and begging.
A colored person may be most
s~hamefully rniatreated or even
wrongfully arrested anywhere IN
Richmond, and there may be fifty
colored people who witness it, but
the fact is, that aside from these
students and other persons like
them, scarcely one of the fifty can
be induced to go to court and testi-
fy-so shamefully have they given up
to being overawed and browbeaten.
For the third time, / congratu-
late these students for making a
PROTEST. The colored people here
would not be half so badly treated

Republican Stragety Has Failed

tai states, because Prohibition, De-
preston and general discomfort,
that is world wide-has just reach
ed America. Rightly or wrongly, the
party in power is always charged
with the economic conditions no mat
ter whether they be good or bad,
as long as they administer the law.
So it now seems that the same conal-
ticn obtains, that obtained in 1910,
when President Taft was faced with
a hostile Congress. Chaos was RAM
paint, and President Wilson was
elected the next two years. Will
history repeat itself?
We venture to say that it will,
unless the Republicans begin now to
build their fences. From the latest
returns it would seem that the Con-
gress converting in December 1851,

bility of a majority of one for the
Republicans, or maybe the Demo-
Gratis. This will be the closest 1t
has been in years. The balanve may
be left with the lone Farm-Labor
member in the Senate, with the DEM
ocrats controlling the house. AS Ne
groes, we wonder just what effect it
vii lhave upon the race. Again, we
venture to say very little, because
under the skin the Democrats and
Republicans are just about the same.
Yet with this close vote, naturally
the belief will be that the vote in
the election of 1882 will be close.
This will make both parties give
more consideration to the Negro
vote, that showed more assertion in
the last election than any in the
memory of this generation.
To this score the Republicans, who
believe that we belong to themany-
how, we may get a much more human
consideration. The Democrats of
the north have already made a Dig
bid for the Negro Vote, for they
want to be elected. In New York
City they elected two Negro judges.
But IS sure as we are living, it is
going to b ca long time before the
Democrats of the South give the
Negro much consideration, other
than a voter, far in the minority. So
it is now left with the Republican
strategist to figure out whether it is
better to stop concentrating on the
south or try and hold the north and
east, which is normally Republican?
These strategists had better soon
Ind out, or there will be a lots of
Republicans out of jobs.

If a Negro leader speaking on the
public platform is afraid, for any
reason, to speak the u~nvarnished
truth; if he must flatter and coddle
white people; if he must resort to
positive misstatements and misre-
presentations; if he must indulge in
hypocrisy, or deceit, or plain lying,
then there would better be no public
speaking on his part.
If truth, honor, integrity, manhood
and womanhood; if devotion to the
highest moral standards and the
highest Christian ideals, will not at
tain public approval for the race, If
they will not win the battle for the
Negro then we doubt seriously that
the baser things and the lower
standards will do it.
Into the race question:; into the
black mans deplorable situation,
must come a new Negro leader, a
leader of vision, of vigor, of vice,
who will make manifest and declare
the hopes, the longings, the aspera-
tons of his race. He must speak his
mind no less independently, no less
emphatically, no less fearlessly than
ether men and other leaders.
This new Negro leader must have
progressive ideas of race relations,
of Negro participation in govern
mental control, Of equality of Geo.
nomic opportunity, of justice before
courts of law, or else the Negroes
rights, liberties and freedom will not
be preserved, will not be advanced,
nor will his cause be fairly presented
to the world.

The campaign of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People and organized labor
ADMINISTRATORS who voted for Judge
John J.. Parker, white, for the U. S.
Supreme Court last spring, undoubt-
eddy caused the defeat of Senator
Allen (Rep., Kas.) and the election
o. his Democratic opponent.
Senator Capper (Rep.) endorsed
by the N. A. A. C.. P. was elected.
In Ohio, McCulloch (Rep.), pro-
Parkerite, fell before the Democratic
Bu'tley.
Three pro-Parker Senator'S were
reelected: Metcalf (R. ~ Hastings
(Del.) and Reyes IN. H., all Re-
publicans.
In Rhoade Island, from so to 81
per cent of the colored vote cut Met
calf.
In Kansas, the Kansas City Call
declares that Allen could have won
had he received the usual colored
vote.
In Ohio, Akron colored districts
voted: McCulloch 329, Buckley 629.
An entirely colored town, Urban
crest, voted: Buckley 112, McCulloch
81. Canton voted the Pro-Parker
McCulloch down, 81.
In this way the good work went on
last week and the N. A. A. c. P. made
the defeat of Parker so difficult.
There are still other pro-Parker SEN
ators on the list of the association
which has a long arm and a longer
memory.
That Parker vote is proving a
nightmare to many a politician.

VIEWS OF
THE PUBLIC
Editor, The Richmond Planet

Editor, The Richmond Planet
Sir:
My attention has just been called
to a most excellent article in your
issue of November LIST, by Professor
C. H. Pearson, Union University.
My purpose in writing is not so
much to refer to that article, which
speaks for itself, as to refer to DR..
Motion as a race leader.
Many observers wonder why DR..
Motion desires to pose as a race
loader when he cannot say what he
thinks. If asked his opinion on any
important issue affecting the Negro,
he must first think how it is going
to affect his institute at Tuskegee
before he makes answer, then he is
not a race leader in the true sense
of that word. The welfare of Tus-
kegee, compared with the welfare of
the entire Negro race, is as nothing.
Perhaps it is a human weakness
that men love place, power and in
fuence; that they crave distinc-
ton, fame and wealth. Negro lead
ership has brought many of these
things to DR.. Motion. Few people
will deny that the race question is
a subject of the gravest Importance.
No other subject in the South is at
bar with the ace question. 1t is
paramount among all the issues of
the day. No vital element of greater
interest has been provoked in the
last half century. Practical meth
DDS or practical policies for solving
this difficult problem are not clear
even to the best minds, or the most
brilliant leadership.

with Rev. Hill and appraised
him of the fact that the family

it hasn't a perpetual mortgage on the
Negro vote, without regard to how it
treats them"
Iowa Bystander, Des Moines: "The
N. A. A. C. P. again demonstrated
it's ability to fight to the last ditch
for those things which they think
are necessary to the welfare of the
Negro. Nobody will say for a mo-
ment that the N. A. A. C. P. did not
make a great fight. 1t is the kind
of fight which makes them respected
more and d more."'
Hot Springs Echo, Arkansas: "The
Negro in the North is a Democrat

and that seems to be what, the N. A.

The Second Baptist Church Incident

Church pulpit to Rev. Arlington.
This was on Saturday night pre-
ceding the Sunday morning fu-
neral service.
It then occurred to the family
to change the program and IN
vite DR.. Hill to preach the SER
mon. 1t is apparent that each
preacher went to the funeral eX-
pecting the other to preach the
sermon. Whatever appears to
have happened at the service
must be interpreted in this light.
We believe that neither Dr.
Hill nor Rev. Arlington is to be
blamed for the fact that the
good sister went on without a
funeral sermon, but that the
family in it's grief-stricken con-
dition Inadvertently confused
the situation.

Both parties are making a big fight
in Ohio for Congressional represen-

that party's committee sent $4,000
into the Ohio campaign, and the Re-

loch, Republican, sees a black cloud
on the horizon because he voted to
