freely.
However, CRANKY lived through the
experience of performing in frontier
towns and toured other sections of Can
ada for two years. On one occasion ice
caught their boat, bound for Prince Ed
ward Island. They walked miles over
ice foes to a small island, where they
were marooned IL days until the ice
broke up.
CRANKY was born and educated in
Boston. He participated in high school
dramaticS, but did not consider the
stage as profession until he was ID
years old, Then he Joined the Castle
Square Theater Company under the d.
rection of Winthrop Ames. The second
week he jumped into a lead role
through the absence of another actor.
After one season in Boston CRANKY
joined Jerry McAuliffe's repertory COM
pany and the Canadian experiences fol-
lowed. Two years later he turned to
stock. He played with Lionel Barry
more in The Claw" at the Broadhurst
Theatcr, New York. in 1921, and two
years later with Olga Petrova in 'Hurri-
cane"
CRANKY last appeared on Broadway
in Hawk Island" a play of the 1929
season, In which he again took the vii
lains role, this time as murderer.
Then the actor deserted the footlights
for radio, making his debut under the
direction of Vernon Radcliffe IL THE
Man in the Iron Mask" Radio Guild
presentation.
His outstanding radio role was that
OF the Chief, the gang leader OF the
Johnson and johnson Musical Melo-

Another Commission

This week in Washington Presi-
dent Hoover's all colored housing
commission is in session at the ma
tons capitol, earnestly considering
the housing needs of the colored
people in America at the expense of
the government. While this commits
sion will find out what everybody
knows already, that housing condi-
tons among us are in need of inn
provement, the commission will prob
ably not outline the method by which
the colored man is to paw his rent
after he gets the new housing, or
the improved housing conditions.
The Wickersham Commission spent
half million dollars to discover
that prohibition was a failure and
the report of this all-colored housing
commission will not have to make a
great report to eclipse the effort of
the half million dollar prohibition
commission. If the president had de-
voted this effort to the finding of
Jobs for unemployed colored men
throughout the country, many of the
efforts of the housing commission
would not have had to be expended

civilized country.
And the ironic thing about it is
that many colored people absolutely
refuse to consider a white person as
a human being, no matter what his
personal, social and racial outlook
may be.
Former friends turn YOU down.
Acquaintance warn you about the
prejudices of their great aunts.
White and black alike try to patro-
nize you. At wild party you're an
ace: the next day you're a bum. You
know our children will be regarded
by the mass of the white race as
outcasts like the 100000 colored
now living in this eanntrs'. ard, Dy
God, come OF them liking it
you lose your last illusion again,
actually turn toward serious study
and come to the conclusion that the
U. S. S. R., the breakdown of the
British Empire, the unrest in South
America and the birth of new
spirit in the East may mean some
thing to this country, founded by
religious intolerants-and reared on
slavery.
"You get fine loving. You enjoy
your home. You feel like telling the
truth out of turn and you know
:. well that miscegenation, at least
in your case, means happiness.

/ rarily one bishop had to direct his
conference from the Jail in which he
was confined on the charge of pater-
nifty of an illegitimate child. This

rated by council of churchmen

lection of his flock. May God have

and on ours
These facts are considered by
church politicians and half-baked
opinions Of ignoramuses. One of
these church politicians boasts of
the fact that his son, a freshman in
college, knows better than treat a
social agency in this fashion. If he
is really telling the truth about the
son, he decidedly demonstrates how
deep-seated the corruption of the
church is when the defense of it
can be thus handed down from sire
to son.
The Negro Church does not re-
quire investigation. We know too
much about it already. What the Ne
gro Church needs is to be saved from
itself. The corrupt state in which it
is now found is not merely a reflec-
ton upon a particular branch of the
church. 1t is a reflection on the
whole race. when we are denounced
because of the depravity of our
clergy the people of the outsideworld
are not going to inquire as to what
denomination it was. 1t will be suffi-
cient for students of social science
merely to say that the Negro clergy
had descended to such depths.
| want to repeat here what ! have
said before. The Negro church is the
outstanding achievement of our
fathers in America. 1t should be re-
formed and reorganized on the basis
of community cooperation. 1t has
been the great asset of the race, and
if properly conducted can render the
race the unselfish service which our
people need. 1t would be a most
shameful dereliction of duty if we
permit the exploiters. grafters, and
libertines to discredit this institu-
ton. If something is not done to
dislodge them the Negroes in Amer
lea must hang their heads in shame

Batting The Negro Vote

Realizing the tremendous senti-
ment against the reelection of Mr.
Hoover, the politicians of the Repub-
lican party are takine steps to assure
themselves of the Negro vote. and
consequently, there was mailed out
from Washington last week two
statements showing what great
things the Republican party was do
ing for the Negro.
And the meat of those statements
was the jobs Negroes have under the
Federal Government. There was
listed about 25 or 80 names of col
ored men and women who have Fed
eral Jobs paying $4,000 up; Sd, 6S4
colored men and women in the en-
ploy of the Federal government
drawing salaries of $50, 900.0S7; and
3,603 other colored men and women
employed in other activities of the
Federal government drawing salaries
aggregating $4,141.209.
All OF which sounds fine. and looks
well in print, until it is carefully
analyzed, when it becomes apparent.
even to a fool that the Negro is be
ing cheated in the number of Jobs he
holds under the Federal government.
The most serious error committed
nowadays by politicians, black and
white, is to think that it is enough to
point to the jobs which Negroes
hold in the Federal government, and
on the basis of those iobs to assume
that Negroes are obligated to vote
for the Republican party in national
elections.
Our guess is that if the Republican
party wants to hold two million vot-
ers in the next presidential election,
it will have to produce a better rec
ord than a list of Jobs.

Always A Man

Last week marked the thirtieth an
niversarv of the Boston Guardian of
which Monroe Trotter is the Editor.
Fitting tribute was paid this mighty
pioneer warrior for the full and equal
rights of colored people in America.
Of all the men who have risen to
leadership in America, none have
been as consistent and as sacrificing
in the fight for full recognition of
colored people. Monroe Trotter has
shown a fearlessness which many
times left him standing alone but un-
daunted. He has given his personal
fortune to cause which he has
never considered lost. He resented
face to face the implied insult of
Woodrow Wilson, kept Boston from
having Jim Grow Y. NJ C. A., and
at great personal sacrifice has been
in the front line trenches in every
fight where the manhood rights of
colored people were involved.
1t was Monroe Trotter who insist
ed that an Italian barber shave him
in hotel of Southern Illinois, stand
ing firmly on the Civil RIGHTS Bill of
that sovereign state. 1t was Trotter
who year in and year out refused to
be misled, fooled or beguiled by the
traitors of his own race or tvrants
of the other race. On all issues af-
fecting his race, he has never ac-
cepted the half loaf. He has been
one of the few who have steadfastlv
demanded full rights or nothVy. In
many issues he has been years in
advance of the vanguard in his think
ing and acting. 1t is fitting that after
nearly a half century of struggle
that the highest tribute be paid this
leader who has been right, unflinch-
ing. courageous and ALWAYS A
MAN

bright tone has developed in
Manchester cotton markets as re-
suit of improving inquiry from
India and China.
Although demand from Bombay
is small, orders and inquiries
from Calcutta are considered
promising. While there are consid-
erable stocks still to be liquidated
in Indian outlets, it is generally
believed these will disappear
quickly as there is a general
shortage through India.
A continuous improvement in
rate of exchange leads the market
to expect a good expansion of
business with China in near fu-
ture. A better demand exists al
ready from the quarter for gray
and white shirtings and tancies.
With other markets business is
moderate.
Demand for American 7earnS is
