We Must Learn To Overcome Opposition

WASHINGTON. - Pointing out
that the Negro group must develop
its own economic status, its own
press. its own literature and social
background, DR.. Carter G. Wood
son, speaking at the Crispus Attacks
celebration here, urged his hearers
to stop reading anti-Negro journals
nd spend more time on those favor
able to Negro achievement.
1--WE should not complain if the
newspapers of others do not tell our
own story as we would like to have
it. We must learn to do it ourselves"
he said.
Needs Press
1.-THE Negro needs to develop a
press. Some of us never read Negro
newspapers-and some of them are
not worth reading. A few weeklies,
however, tell the story of the Negro
in calm and collected manner.
They tell of the strivings of the race
| in such way as to inspire the youth.
In these Negro newspapers is found
an aggressive leadership which will
bring us out of the slough of despond
and present US for hearing at the
bar of justice. would urge you,
therefore. to spend less time in read
ing the newspapers and magazines
which traduce you and concentrate
on those which are fighting your bat
ties before an unwilling world.

of Negroes in world struggles. said
I'm the struggle for the right OF
man. Crispus Attacks fell IN the Bos

Bishop Carey

Bishop Archibald James Carey,
leader in religious and political
thought and action has crossed over
into the Great Beyond and countless
thousands mourn his passing, for a
truly great man with remarkable
gifts and faculties has fallen. Bishop
Carey was without doubt one of the
most influential churchmen of his
race in America and welded tremen-
dous influence in high political
circles; his passing leaves a gaping,
aching void that will require time
and accumulated genius to fill. To-
day he lies resting in the sleep of
Death, his conquests have ended, he
has finished his course. His honors
and glories will rest fittingly with
his family, his friends and those
countless thousands whom he served
His accomplishments were manifold,
his achievements many, his works
marvellous and good. We all regret
that this great leader has been called

Think This Over

The Negro newspaper renders an
invaluable service to the race it
serves but receives little or no sup
port from its readers. The negli-
gible sum you pay for your race pa
per hardly meets the cost of the pa
per it is printed on. The newspaper
receives its income from carrying adj
vertisements for bushes houses.
When you are about to make pur-
chases of any kind, first look in the
advertising columns of your Negro
newspaper and select from the bust
ness houses listed there the places
where you will spend your money.
And-in making your purchases,
merely mention to the clerk or man.
ager that you saw his advertisement
in your Negro newspaper. That ges-
ture costs you nothing but means
everything to your newspaper. Think
that over.

white officers reported his heroism
to Congress.
"Austin Dabney distinguished him
self in helping to vanquish the Tories
in Georgia. On the battlefield with
Greene and Washington, more than
1000 other soldiers of African
blood lived up to this brilliant record
during that conflict with Great Brit
ain.
"Such martyrdom of those who
love their native land, however, has
not always been appreciated. Most
of the Greeks who persisted at Their
mopylai and the majority of the
Romans who suffered martyrdom at
the Caudine Forks represented
classes which had been treated by
their countries as serfs and slaves.
The ruling classes have always held
Tremendously to privileges which
they have long monopolized and have
persistently fought against democ-
racy.
Magma Charta, the great charter
of English liberty, was begrudg-
ingly granted by one of the worst
despots, and he and his successors
endeavored to ignore it for almost
500 years. And so it has happened
with the thirteenth. fourteenth ano
| fifteenth amendments.
"The truth of the matter is that
Abraham Lincoln and his co-workers
did not free the Negroes. They mere
| ly gave them the opportunity ia
work out their own salvation. Fol
the rights of the Negroes, then,
would not appeal to their oppressors
! would appeal to the Negroes them
selves.
Must Own Property

do if we hope to enjoy the blessings
of real democracy. In the frs

place, we need to develop the power
Co help one another. In some way we
must do our part in industry and
commerce as well as in the lower
pursuits of life. We must own pro-
portionately as much property,
handle as much business, and control
as much money as any other element
in this country.
1--WE may talk about rights and
privileges but the people who own
the natural resources. those who di-
rect the financial institutions and
ma rkets will rule this country.
These are the people who will dictate
exactly what shall be done for every
group in this land.
"The only hope for the weak,
then, is to become one of the strong.

We Ask A Favor


We know you patronize Enter

of our advertisers know it. But be-
cause some of our advertisers use
The Enterprise in connection with
the daily papers it is difficult for
them to check on The Enterprise.
The best possible check is for Enter

advertise in The Enterprise.
The circulation of The Enterprise
has grown tremendously within the
last month. We believe we are Civ
ing the public a better newspaper,
We are trying to make it better. En-

In the same manner that Christ
removed the heavy obstacles that
entombed Him in the sepulchre, can
we remove the many obstacles that
keep us down into the mire of ma
terialism; the love of self, greed.

worldly riches, fear, and all things
that are not of God. 1t seems that
Easter should be the time for us to
make our resolutions to be better, To
be more God-like, when we have
that wonderful example of Christ's
resurrection wildly before US; the
example which shows and proves
conclusively that all things are pos
sible for those who have the right
understanding of God, as Christ did.
Let us not keen the crucifixion in
our minds; that is not a pleasant
thought. What We should remember
is the resurrection and try to apply
the example of Christ's dominion
over material laws. in our everyday
thoughts. Let this Easter be resur-
rection for everyone of us from the
dreams that we have labored under
ever since the world began.

Easter

Next Sunday is Easter, recognized
by nearly all the Christian world as
the Third Day when Christ arose,
ascending into heaven and taking
his place on the right hand of God
the Father. This occurrence in reli-
gious history should not mean that
Christ merely arose and that we
should celebrate the resurrection by
attending church and Easter ser
vices in our respective churches and
let it pass for another year. There
is a great lesson in it for all of us;
q lesson that we can profitably use
in our every day lives, one that will
help us to come closer to our Maker;
one that will help us to lay the
foundation for all things good--love
and one that will help us to speak
the word that will often raise our
discouraged fellowmen to success,
and bring them triumphantly into
the plain of beautiful thoughts and
deeds.
