inspiration to stimulate the Negro
youth to nobler deeds. A race can
not be inspired from without.
Realizing that Negro History Week
is great force in education, the
heads of state departments of educa-
ton are giving cordial cooperation
in promoting the celebration. School
journals published by these officials
are inviting special attention to the

some of them are serving as speakers
to impress upon the Negro youth the

Negro History Week Celebration
Beginning February 9

The annual Negro History Week
celebration will begin the ninth of
February. While the churches in
many places will have programs on
the previous Sunday, the schools will
not generally participate until the
9th. Throughout the week these and
ether agencies endeavoring to sup
plant propaganda with history will
take a part in the effort in their
own way.
The literature bearing upon the
observance and showing how it
should be carried out has been dis
tributed by Carter G. Woodson, di-
rector of the Negro Life and History
Association. Those who may not
have been supplied may secure such
matter by addressing him at 1888
Ninth St. N. W., Washington, d. c..
Except when desired in an unusually
large quantity this literature is sent
free of charge.
A special effort will be made to
have the Negro speak for himself
during this celebration. For recita-
tons. declarations and discourses on
the Negro, participants are directed
to what the Negro has said about him.

own story in the words of the fathers
who had the courage to speak out
when it meant great sacrifice. From

Crooked Leaders

Mrs. Mamie Burroughs, esteemed
educator, has drawn blood in hei
two-fisted attack on the leaders OF
the colored people. She adeptly
and adriotly states that most of the
leaders are not leaders at all but
bleeders. The Atlanta Independent
states editorially that our fraternal
and church organizations are al
right but their leaders are thieves
racketeers, liars ana libertines. II
is further contended that "blood
money is wrung from the poor and
ignorant, and salaries are being paid
larger than those paid 10 Judges of
our states. governors. city manag-
ers and bank presidents" These
opinions are becoming quite prevail
ent and sooner than the public ex-
poets the people will arise in revolt
from the tyranny and diabolic rule
of these exalted individuals who
masquerade in the roles of leaders.
Under the present political and eco
nomic leadership the colored race
mas lost ground, while these leaders
have made money. The people are
paying the price but they will rise
lp and throw off the yoke as they
will be compelled to do if they wish

Judge CIarke's Decision

Whether or not the decision Oh
Judge Clark is reversed is not ex-
""tlv the thin" which concerns the
Negro most; it is the fact that in most
legal propositions place is left for
the play of sentiment. For if the
presidents set by the judge are mat
tiers of fact. his decision is unques-
tionably right.
And in the event that his decision
is reversed, it must be done by the
play of popular sentiment upon the
Supreme Court judges or by allow
ance of a place for the play of feel
ing in their own and ultimate deci-
sions.
If the jurist is right, and his deci-
sion is reversed. in consequence of
the reversal, the Supreme Court
judges become virtual Lawmakers
for in so doing they set up a prece-
dent for the enactment of Federal
Amendments.
But if the decision of the Judge is
upheld by the Supreme Court, the
18th Amendment falls flat, and with
it goes the foundation of Negro lib
ertv---the 18th. And even in case the
9th Amendment is not altogether in
valid or expunged from the Const-
tuition, it will be left open to at
tacks and curtailments from any
quarter.

Nevermore Mr.. Hoover

writing articles lamenting and

been disputed hut they were entirely
ignored by the president. The

no objection to Mr.. Doak, as was
