Africans Protest

The NJ. A. A. c. p. hes been adj
vised by London men of color that
white South Africans have served
notice that Negroes will not be per-
mitted to compete in the annual
Olympic sports games to be held there
in 1882. No doubt the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People will succeed in hav-
ing the ban removed before the date
of the Olympics. Even so the main
thing, the logical thing would be to
hasten the removal of the Directing
white South Africans from Africa.
1t may take longer than the year
1882, but the objective is one really
worth working for. The nerve of
the Nordics in first appropriating
the land and the country of the ma
tives, and then objecting to the par
ticipation of men of color in an in
ternational tournament to be held
there surpasses quite any attitude
of any group of which we have
heard. They should be ousted from
that land.

The Williams Way

DR.. Daniel H. Williams, Chicago
surgeon, who died recently left 49,
900 in cash to the NA.A.C.P. and
the income from the balance of his
estate, some $50, 900, goes to his sis
ter during her lifetime. At her
death. this $4,000 also is left the
NA.A.C.P.
In his recognition of the work of
this association and his unique means
of assisting it, DR.. Williams sets an
example that many poor as well as
rich may well initiate.
The person who has been unable to
accumulate little during his life ex-
cept 500 insurance policy can di-
rect that upon his death SIS shall go
towards the endowment of the MA.
A..C. P. Those who have more should
give more. Everybody can give
something.
The battle for freedom and citi-
zenship is not getting easier. The
nearer to equality we get the harder
the struggle.
The Williams way makes it pos
sible for us to perpetuate worthy
movement after we are dead.

White No More

Rich George Eubanks of New
Bern, North Carolina, declared white
upon affidavits furnished by four
teen fellow citizens and approved by
Judge N. A. Sinclair of Fayetteville,
North Carolina, is colored again.
Judge Sinclair's judgment upon
the petition was signed Tuesday and
reversed Friday. Eubank's neigh
bors raised a howl that was heard
throughout the state. The blonde
man may have blue eyes, golden hair
and Roman nose, they said, but
his grandmother was colored, and
he has only 7-S white blood.
Judge Sinclair hearkened to the
rumblings and rich George is right
back where he started. He's white
no more.
Rich George is the wealthiest man
in New Bern. Any man with all that
money and all that white blood ought
to be able to be any color he wishes.
However, if George will come to
Seattle, we agree to put him up at
the Olympic Hotel, make him a men,
Der of the country club and marry
him off to Miss Seattle.
Having a colored grandmother is
an honor. Race purity loving Virgil
mans found Supreme Court judge
a senator, several members of Con-
gress and an admiral in the navy
with colored grandmas. But Virgin
ia didn't wash its linen in public.

The Word Negro ;

The much used term NEGRO"
should be discarded as absolete and
misleading in the discussion of the
early peoples of Africa. The pri-
mary definition of the word is black
or dark of skin. Now as the earliest
known inhabitants of Africa ranged
in color from Jet black to fair, &C
cording to their proximity to, or
distance from the equatorial regions
of this great and mysterious CONT
nent, it would seem that a term
broad enough in its application be
adopted.
Some of the early European ex-
plorers penetrated Africa to point
where they stumbled upon a people
according to their reports) black
oil skin, flat footed, short of stature,
etc, from this type it is said the
Negro has sprung. 1t was not known
that these ill described people were
a branch of the great Hamitic races
that spread out over Africa, Asia
and Europe; building empires and
creating a culture that has come
down to our time forming the basis
of the present day civilization.
Climate and environment of alb
original peoples are the principle
factors which may be said to deter
mine color, features, manners and
customs. Intercourse between mi
gratory groups of peoples. living in
different environments will produce
more confused temperament. In
some parts of Africa the natives
wore no clothing for the head other
than their hair. Like the Saxons
in England they allowed it to mat,
thus offering a protection from the
suns rays. This, evidently, is the
underlying cause of the poor quality
of hair so noticeable in Africans and
their descendants.

Sef-Obvious Truth

There are two million potential
Negro voters in states of uncontest-
ed franchise. This vote should be
persuaded to go for men, measures
and movements best calculated to ad-
vance the racial welfare. The Repub-
lican Party may, indeed, make the
most persuasive plea, if so they will
doubtless and ought to secure the
majority of the black vote. But
amazement is aroused when these
ardent partisan leaders rush over
each other in volunteering this vote
in lump to the G o. P, in advance.
before any gesture has been made
to uswards. If there be any greater
source of amazement, it is how such
proffer should be made, unlimited
to the Democratic party. President
Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover
have tried their best to convince the
Negro that he represents a race with.
out a party, Now comes Capper.
Fess, Norris and Borah negatively
persuading him to the same conclu-
sion. If he fails to understand the
self-obvious truth, he will be looked
upon as a hopeless partisan moron
without sufficient brain power to
understand his own political situa-
ton. He will thus not only lose his
own political self respect, but that
of the very party whose fortune he
follows with dog-like docility. The
i G. o. P. will be justified in looking
upon the Negro voter as the master
upon his hounds.
HE can whistle them off as a
master his pack.
For he knows when he wants them
he can whistle them back"

Get Into New Fields

Negroes will not get the pioneer
spirit. They need it sorely in nearly
every line of their existence. There
is too much of the crab attitude in
their quest for jobs. Few tread un-
trodden paths to find employment.
Only those jobs which have become
additionally identified with Negroes
are the goals of their efforts.
Day after day, year after year.
capable Negroes dissipate energy
needlessly and unprogressively in
displacing some other Negro so that
his job might be open to themselves.
This is doubly deplorable in the
light of the fact that thousands of
jobs are available if they would but
catch bit of the pioneer spirit.
Too few Negroes take Civil Serv-
ice examinations; too few seek to
prepare themselves to a point of cf-
ficiency whereby they may demand
and adequately man some of those
positions which are now paving lu-
cratIve salaries to others.
Stenographers in the United
States Governments employ receive
| SfShtCSH " tWCHtl-tWO uOl-
| lars yearly. No Negro holds one OF
these positions in Seattle. Pay
ing positions in the postal system
still await Negro applications.
In the city government of Seattle
positions as court stenographers pay
splendid salaries. Negroes do moi
even apply for these Jobs. Clerkships
the salaries for which constitute ar
estimable part of the city budget
are sought BY few if any Neg1 oes
The situation reduces itself to an al
most criminal lethargy on the par
of Negroes who are or could max,

these positions.
