NEW ENGLAND TALE
 ON AIR TONIGHT
"A Conflict Ended" Is
 SOcOnyland Players Offering

Arthur Allen and his Soconyland Players tonight present a dramatic version of Mary Wilkins F'reeman's "A Conflict Ended. Locally the program will be heard at 7:30 o'clock through station WEAF or wTIC.
 Mrs Freeman wrote many stories of New England life. "A Conflict Ended" is considered one of her best. It is the story of Marcus Woodman. a stubborn Yankee. who because he was opposed to the new pastor of his church, declared he would never attend services as long as the minister remained. Well. the minister remained for many years and all during them Woodman on Sunday would go as far as the church steps where he remained during the service. His stubbornness not only cost him his happiness but that of Esther Barney. the town mill liner to whom he had been engaged but who refused to marry him be- cause of his attitude.
 It was only when the happiness of her apprentice Margie was threat ened because of a stubborn differ ence of opinion between the girl and the youth to whom she was en- gagged that Esther saw the time had come when she should set an ex- ample by reconciliation with Woodman. What she did to bring it about brings the sketch to it's happy climax.
 Associated with MT Allen who is cast as Woodman. is Eleanor Wes- selhoeft, who during the long New York run of the Pulitzer prize win- ming "Street Scene" played the part of the Italian musician's wife---one of the drama. Miss Wesselhoeft of the outstanding characterizations will be heard as Esther. The other two players are Ruth Russell as the girl, and Joe Latham as the boy.

Why We Keep Fighting

with all your wonderful prog
ress during the last sixty years, and
with opportunities opening up every
white friend, has your race to keep
on agitating about? Why not take
the late Booker T. Washington's adj
vice and let down your buckets
where you are'?'
This statement comes from a man
whose personal attitude towards
races is known by this writer to be
generally fair, and refers to the
work which is being done by such
organizations as the National Assoc
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
| There are always people who be-
lieve that things are going on very

fled with our lot. Many kindly dis
posed people, and some slaves in

right good human arrangement as
long as the slaves were getting plen-
| ty to eat and were treated kindly.
But there will always be need for
fighting and agitatinG. and for the
work of such organizations as the
N. A. A. C. p. as long as any one
group holds any unfair advantage
over another.
But for the edification of this
kindly disposed white friend let us
set down few items i'm our bill of
complaints, and ask him to imagine
himself in our shoes and, if so, would
ne decide togiue up the fighting?

The Menace OF MOonshine

While white America is viewing
with concern and alarm the effects
and results Of prohibition and while
commissions and erstwhile reformers
are facing the problem involved with
more or less frankness, the Ameri.
can colored people are saying moth
mig about it, doing nothing about it,
unless the amazing amounts Of
moonshine liquor that they are con-
suming may be considered as overt
action. BY now the honest, unhyp-
oeritical opinion of the majority OF
thinking people, is that prohibit.
ton is a dismal failure and has ere
ated a distressful situation II at
| threatens to nuilify some of the most
sacred powers Of the government,
destroy organized society and create
wreck and havoc in the ranks Of
society. OF course The people who
are less enlightened and less self suf-
ficient will be those who will suffer
The most from such an ininuitous ana
widespread evil. Thus the colored
people OF America are menaced bv
moonshine LIQUOR, the by-product of
prohibition, just as much as they are
menaced by segregation, disfran-
chisement and lynching.
American moonshine is a star per-
former in the so-called Az age. It
has elutched IN its serpentine coils
the youth of our race. It is wreck
ing the hope and the flower of our
ines and threatens to undermine the
flimsy foundation that our forefa-
theirs have prepared for us. The
seasoned LIQUOR drinkers have almost
already run their course and while
moonshine whiskev has no doubt rob
bed them of their scant remaining
stamina and shortened their days it
has not cast the blight and pail up
on them that it has aDon the youth
