CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 12.-Long-
distance flyers now can follow a pierre
ing beacon light that spreads only IL
feet a mile and is visible half way
across the State of Ohio.
The light is projected from a search
light only 16 inches in diameter and
from a bulb only five or six times larger

the beam all the way to Columbus, APP

of the searchlights have been installed

It projects the light sufficient for
reading purposes miles away, he said,
and, for example, turned it on the
crib" 5 miles out in Lake Erie, where
the city obtains it's water supply. The
"crib" was distinctly visible.
The lights narrow beam makes the
determination of the height OF cloud
banks more accurate, and the search
light is principally for that use, Pennow
said.
Two Sets of Lights.
The light has two sets of mirrors,
which enables it to utilize most of the

whenever he canacome and that the
conference was altogether non-par-
tisan, but that the Negro was man
before he was Republican and that
the planks which the conference ad-
opted should be taken to both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans.
Kelly Miller, professor of Howard
University, termed the DePriest
movement a statesmanlike effort and
in seeking to have it's cause adopted
by both parties, he said that Mr.. De-
Priest was following the example as
set down by both the vets and the
women suffragists.
Mr.. DePriest urged that the De-

lutions against lynching and discrim-
nation in Civil Service appoint
ments. especially the Civil Service
rule which requires photographs of
all applicants to be submitted in ad-
vance.

Who Can Tell?

E. D. Pierson, who was murdered
sometime ago, lies in his grave and
those who committed this foul deed
are at large. pierson was the audi
tor of the National BAPTIST conven-
ton, and it was because of disclos-
ures of alleged speculations and
shortages that he threatened to make
that his life was taken. At least this
is the consensus of opinion. What.
ever shortages or speculations there
were among the Baptists have been
"explained away" and white-washed.
There have been love feasts held by
warning factions, belligerents have
buried the hatchets and all is osten-
sibly well con the Baptist front. p"
Poor Pierson however, has been de
pr;ved of his life, his widow left
helpless and the Christian soldiers
march on. This affair will not soon
be forgotten and those who have the
murder of Pierson on their hands
will face his ghost when they stalk
into churches and sacred places.
Maybe murder will out after all.
Who can tell?

The Dollar Trail

That white supremacy's evening
clothes might not be soiled by Ne
groes along Miami's golden sands.
the all-governing Caucasians OF
Ponce de Icons land decided that
Negroes were not to be seen in GER
tain sections of the city by the sea
after dark.
There was nothing to do about It.
The edict had come from the all
powerful whites and therefore, ac-
cording to the dictates of southern
Justice. was simply to be.
But the absence of the raven-hued
brother from the business district,
included in the restricted area
wrought havoc with the pocketbooks
of the lily-white "untouchables' and
evening clothes and white supremacy
had to be darned. The edict was
revoked an d the power of money
marched on.
No single or collective pow er
which the Negroes of Miami might
have modified would have had so
immediate an effect upon the aillng
philosophy of the Florida whites as
that of the dollar. No power IN
heaven or hell today can so readily
sway the balances of open-eyed JUS
tice as the flap of the eagles wings;
and it is through the correct APP
praisement and use of this power that
the Negro must stride to success.
Judgment has fled and men have
lost their reason, but nothing VIII
restore these characteristics so
quickly as the threat of starvation.
1t is the weapon that Negroes must
use. They must know this power and
use it relentlessly to smooth the path
of economic and social discrimina-
ton; to lift the "Uncle Tom" caption
and the ounce cap" from Negro
babies yet unborn. The new power
of the world is money and all else Is
it's servant. Negroes who hope to
reach the promised land must take
the dollar trail.

Not Wanted

Again high officials of The Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company
make statement which should chal-
lenge the red blood in every colored
person in America. When asked point
blank why colored people are not
employed by the Metropolitan in
their field and elsewhere in the same
fashion that this company EMPLOYS
Jews, Italians and other nationali
ties, the company official states that
"there are good many nationalities
whom for one reason or another we
do not C ON S d er make desirable
agents - the colored people being
one of these nationalities." This
official in burst of frankness prac-
tically tells us that in spite of the
billion dollars colored people paw in
premiums to this great Metropolitan
Company, our business is not consid-
cred desirable or profitable.
This is not the first time that this
attitude has been officially pro-
nounced. This is not the first time
that this company has shown con-
tempt for our support. Jim Grow Of
fices and other humiliations have
been heaped upon us while we have
humbly continued to give our bust
ness. All of this while our colored
companies, offering the same pro-
lection under the same insurance
laws, have struggled to attain the
necessary amount of business to
make them profitable. How long are
we going to sit and take these insults
while we pay our money? How long
will we permit people to frankly tell
us that our money is all right but
we are not good enough to be given
job or recognized as men and wom-
en-? If we wait long enough to be-
come fully aroused it will then be
too late to do anything about it. Now
is the time and the remedy is quite
simple. Do not spend your money
where you cannot work. Teach Met
ropolitan Insurance Company that
we are able to recognize an insult
and resent it. Not tomorrow but to-
day. Give to our colored companies
the same amount of business that
we give Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company and these companies will
give us more jobs and one white con
Germ will be taught the lesson thai
we think before we spend our money

Mr.. Dep riest Speaks

Congressman Oscar DePriest (Rep.
I'D characterized as silly the Asso-
ciated Negro Press report of last
week that his seat in Congress as a
representative from the First Hi
nois District is in jeopardy as re-
suit of the recent redistricting by the
legislature.
Said he:
'sDo you think I've been asleep? |
expect to be reelected next time by
10000 votes. OF the 218 precincts
in my new district only rs are white.
eve had five colored members in
the state legislature who held the
balance of power By voting with
the Republicans thev could pass the
redistricting measure, by voting with
the Democrats they could kill it. And
so when they said the boundary OF
our new first district should be 9th
Street, and should include a major
ity of colored voters, that is what
the legislature approved.
"If / get licked in the next cleo
ton, | deserve to be. for | got in the
new district exactly what ! asked
for"
Newspaper prophets have not
been particularly accurate in pre-
dieting the career of Mr.. DePriest
One of them foresaw dire happen
ings when Mr.. DePriest's politica
opponents secured his Indictment by
Chicago grand Jury Just after his
election to office.
Another forecast a fight on thu
floor of the House when the tint
came to take his seat.
A third last year expressed thu
view that Mr.. Roscoe Simmons wOult
defeat Mr.. DePriest in the last G
o. P. primary and if not, the latte
would lose in the general election.
None of these things has hap
pened. The Illinois Congressman ha
CONQUERED every difficulty and, look
ing ahead, turns prophet himself t.
declare he'll win the next election
also.
