Fighting Each Other All Over The Earth
(By Mamie H. Burroughs)

can see national politicians in action.
Mr.. Howard likes action even if he
cant get any. patronage. He is act
ing right on.
Robert Vann is fighting Amos m
Andy. This writer started the fight
way back in 1929, but nobody would
help her. Not even her friend Vann.
But Vann "sho is" helping himself
now, and reports from the ringside
indicate that he has a record breaking
crowd and will knock the two come
dams out in the mllionth round. Tho
"Chicago Offender" however, is bet
ting on Amos m Andy.
Out in Chicago Alderman Louis
Anderson is fighting Congressman
DePriest. He doesn't like Mr.. De
Priests temperament. Mr.. Anderson
wants a colored representative in
Congress who will sit down and be
quiet. An aggressive Negro in Con-
gress might offend Mr.. Helm who
has been retired to his farm by the
people of Alabama. In the future
Negro congressman on their
temperament and not on their tested
loyalty to their own people and sound
thorough-going Americanism.
The National Association of Col
ored Women are having a kind of
private lady-like fight to keep Mrs.
Salie w. Stewart, the president
from postponing the biennial and
moving the conventionfromCle Cleveland
in 1882 to the Chicago Far in 1888.
Deferring the time would give Mrs.
Stewart an unconstitutional five
years in office instead of a consti-
tutional four years. The Fair will go
on and so will the lady-like fight in
the National Association Of Colored
Women.
There are lots of near fights in the
frasernal organizations. They say
the Most Mobiles and the Grands and
Exalteds are sitting down in their
high seats too long. They say some
body else wants to sit down. Well
they will have to stand another year
at least, and their opponents will
"sho" have to fight if they woulC
reign.
There are hundreds of focal
churches, lodge, school and home
fights going on.
Now, while all this fussing ano
. fighting is going on, the fatuous Mr.
I, George Schuyler, who has a chronic
case of social epilepsy sits up in the
right hand corner of the grandstanC
and throws brickbats at everybody
Mr.. Schuyler's brickbats feel like tn,
: ladies' powder puffs because his life
of continuous ard blissful ease ha
! made his muscles quite flaccid. Mr.
Schuyler lives on words. They wer'
: given to him. That is the reason h
= uses them so freely. He's opposed Il
7 Negroes living on work. He has beer
trying hard to get attention. He go
somebody to send him to Africa
Isn't it strange that he did not TAX
up permanent residence in Mesopo
tamia on the ranch where the coniur
ing owner of his species lived? Yo'
know tits the nature of asinegoes o
the Schuyler species to talk. Yol
! will recall that thev talked back t.
> Balaam. and Job tells us that if vo
feed them they will bray. If a skillet
: physician could give George Schuyle
= temporary relief from his very malig
= nant case of socialepilepsy, he woul,
!. come down from his present subven
!, ton position and organize an Inter
: national Association of Asinegoes. L
that event they would certainly cleo
Mr.. Schuyler president for life by
unanimous vote. He is fully Quail
fied-not to occupy the position
but to fill it.
Really. Negro leadership has be
come a luxury for which the poo
people are paying the price whic
can be nut down as millions in money
and millions more in morale.
The causes are these: We are no
carving responsibility in the actua
building of this civilization. We ar
not carrying responsibility becaus
we have not learned the value of I'M
tiative, venturesomeness and con
! struetive thinking.
