Kentucky t, 60 in full force to the
polls next November and cast tteir
votes ior don. J. NJ. Rlslon for
United States Senator.
Senator Robson has proven him
self lair and friendly to the Heero.
His stani in the Parker situation
pleased not only the Colored people
of Kentucky but was applauded by the
Colored people of the nation, because
his vote was the deciding vote. Ii
he had voted the other way Judge
Parker would now be o Supreme
Court Justice. Senator ,Rpbsion's
stand on immigration is also bene-
fetal to the Negro inasmuch as he
would keep foreign labor competition
from this country. His Robson
Capper bill, spreading the benefits
of education, includes the Colored
youth. His stand on the questions
affecting World War Veterans in
Guided a great eulogy of the Negro
soldier.
So Senator Robson, by all mea-
surements, deserves and merits the
undivided ond unanimous support OF
Colored Kentuckians.

Mrs. Thomas Mccoy, on the Tennes-
see highway, were being transferred
from DeKalb, Miss, to Scooba Tor
preliminary trial on the robbery

they were set upon by yhe mob and

EDITORIALS
NEGROES AND THE PRIMARY

When the State Democratic Com
mittee forfeited its right of appeal to
the United States Supreme Court In
the West Primary Case, one Of two
things dictated this action. Either
the moderates in the Democratic
councils succeeded in making this as
a friendly gesture to Virginia Ne
groes or the hopelessness of the case
was so apparent that they did not
want to be placed in such a ludicrous
position before the eyes of the ma
ton.
The best thinkers among our
group here are hoping that the first
possibility is true, that is, that the
general attitude of good will and q
desire to help the Negro become a
real and helpful American citizen has
dictated that no obstacles be placed IN
his path on his upward march. This
attitude is felt in the other spheres
of life, such as, the aid rendered Ne
groes by the whites here when the
race endeavors to put over an ad-
vanced program of religious, social,
economic, or educational work.
1t is just as impossible for the Ne
gro to reach his ultimate in citizen
ship without the aid and cooperation
OF the white man, as it is to "fly to
heaven with iron wings and no mo-
tor" Our greatest progress has been
in those lines of endeavor where the
white man has given his aid, support
and cooperation. We know that we
cannotbe come potent factors IN the
civic life here without the oportu-
nifty being encouraged by the DOM
inant group, and we hope this is a
movement in that direction.

ON THE JOB
(From the Pittsburgh Courier, Sep
Semher 8, 1930.)

The bitterest critics of the Nation
al Association for the Advancement
of Colored People cannot say that
it has not been constantly on the job
this year. 1t successfully directed
the fight against the confirmation of
Judge Parker for a seat on the Uni
ted States Supreme Court; its Di-
rector of Branches staged a meeting
in Chickasha, Oklahoma, just a few
days after the horrible lynching there
and won the allegiance of the mayor /:
it brought the attention Of the entire
world to the segregation of the Negro
Gold Star Mothers; many of its To-
cal branches have won notable vic
tories as in Mount Vernon, N. Y.
and just recently in Elizabeth, N. j.,
where efforts to deprive Negroes Of
the use of a municipal swimming
pool were defeated; and lastly, but
by no means least, the brilliant work
Of Walter White, Mrs. w. T. Bailey.
Marion (Ind.) branch president, Rev
William Aglesbv, Rev. c. S. Brown,
ana meSSTS. rODeTC II. Ddiley oho
Robert L. Brockenburr of Indianapo-
lis in connection with the friendish
lynching in Marion. Ind. Not only
has the guilt of certain public Off
Gals been established, but the names
of the rinelesders of the mob hove
been obtained and nlaced in tn hands
of the Governor of Indiana. Thus,
the State of Indiana is placed in
position where it must take Drastic
action or else stand before the world
with the blood of the lynched Negro
BOYS on its hands.
It is by such speedy and vigorous,
not to saw INTELLIGENT action that our
few remaining liberties are safeeuar-
ded. Even if one ignored the VIC
tories of the N. A. A. c. P. in the
various notable and enochal cases Of
the nast, one would be compelled tn
admit from this years record Of
militancv and sonnd str"-
tnpv that IT'S work is Of inest'mah'e

Our Fraternities have certainly been
holding the center of the stage
these past three weeks. These an
nual gatherings prove that frater-
nalism is yet the dominant factor
in the lives of our people. the
Church being the only possible ex-
ception. .
The insurance group here is one OF
the bright marks upon the business
and economic background for perma-
nent development of the race in Rich
mond. Negroes should support these
companies and pay special attention
to their insurance needs. Doing these
i. e., insuring in Negro companies
and getting adequate coverage for
the individual will aid materially in
the race here. Mr..
Neblett of the Victory Life Company,
Second floor Commercial Bank Build
ing, paid a claim of $4,000 to one OF
our families that has lost its main
stay. Such business as this trans
acted within our race is of inestim-
able benefit to all.

Mr.. HOOVER ANS WERS
(From the Chicago Defender,
September b, 1880


More persons have been lynched in
the United States this year than in
the past rive years. The figures
sent out by TusHesee Institute, the
National Association for the Advan-
cement Of Colored People and the In
terraelal society for the first six
months of 1880 showed that more
men had been put to death by mobs
during that period than were lynched
during the whLee 9f 1o25. The
year opened with two lynchlngs, and
they have continued with regularity
during the eight monUns that have
passed.
During all this time organizations,
newspapers and inalvlduals were ask
ing the president of the United Sta-
ties, the state governments and the
national congress to do sometning a.
bout these outrages, but no word was
heard from the highest executive Of
the land. AS far as Mr., Hoover
was concerned a lynehing was an
ordinary affair, ana in keeping with
the best interests of the American
people. The state governors pro-
tested some of them making extra
VACANT speeches about Furnishing lyn-
chers but the president said nothlng'
FINALLY, however, Mr.. Hoover spo-
ked. When Walter White, acting
secretary OF the N. A. A. c. P. wrote
TO ask nm about his opinion on These
barbarous outrages, Mr.. Hoover took
his pen in hand (tnat is, in the hand
OF one or his secretaries and answer
ed in these grandiloquent terms:
Every decent citizen must con-
denim the lynchlng evil as an under
mining OF the very essence of both
justice and democracy"
What a declaration! We can l.
imagine the great exertion Mr.. Hoov-
err was put to in propounding these
great and indisputable truths! Al
ter that masterpiece of American
literature, he must have it the dire
need of vacation.
But what Mr.. Hoover said was not
enough. What he should have said
was that, as president of the United
States, as commander-in- chef Of
the army and navy, and as the man
who has taken oath not only to up
hold, but to enforce the laws Of the
United States, that he would take
immediate steps to put a stop to
lynching EVEN IF HE HAD TO
SEND MARINES INTO EVERY
STATE IN THE UNION.
He didn't say that, though. He
made some flimsy, vascillating COM
ment about decent citizens and de-
mccracy. 1t seems to us that ne
should have confined his efforts t,
building bridges and roads. AS
president he is u complete flop!

SNAKES

Macon, Ga.-(CNS)- Henry White,
coIored man living near Juliette,
IN Jones County, on the plantation Of
T. j. Russell, Killed snake with Fl
rattles, this being the first rattle
found in that section in years. White
skinned the snake and stuffed the
sskin with bran, keeping it for q
curiosity.
w. II. Reynolds, travelling down
the highway near Rochelle in Wilcox
County, in light car, collided headon
with a huge RATHER. The car ran
over the snake. Reynolds got limb
and finished killing it. The snake
evidently had encountered other &C.
cidents, for when it was taken to
Rebecca it was found that it had on
ly rattle. Judging by its size, it
should have had fifteen or twenty
rattles.
