How many crimes have been com
mitted in the name of the race? How
much booding? How much eXploi
tation and how much grating? Many
crooks, thieves and high powered pro
moters have filtched fortunes away
from our people on the doctrine of
"helping the race" Many of these
boodlers, grafters and thieves have
been no more interested in the race
than they have been in the balloons
in Africa. They have been inter
ested in themselves and their own
relatives. We have but to observe
THEN activities and be convinced The
rights of the race should be regard
ed as sacred and the appeal to the
race for funds to build up private
business should be scrutinized most
carefully. We harbor the suspicion
that the colored people will be less
gullible in the future and these race
problem hustlers' and these race.

sweet talk upon empty air. The time
is not far away when the people vii

to have plenty of business in the fu
ture but we believe that it will be
built and developed along differen
lines.

Texas Primary Case
Hearing March IA

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The case
of DIR. L. A. Nixon of Ell Paso,
Texas, against James Condor and
c. H. Kolle, white, judges of cleo
ton in the precinct in which Dr.
Nixon lives, has been assigned for
reargument March IA, Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes announced
last Tuesday.
The case involves the question of
the right of the Democratic Party
TO prohibit colored persons from
voting in party primaries in the
state of Texas under resolution
passed by the Democratic state ex-
ecutive committee pursuant to a
Texas statute giving to political
parties the right to prescribe who
shall be members and participate in
party primaries.
The case recently was argued by
counsel for DIR. Nixon, but no argu-
ment was made on behalf of Condor
and Kolle or the State of Texas.
fhe Supreme Court afterward or
dered a reargument and granted
Condor and Kolle permission to file
briefs, although the time for doing
so had expired.
The argument of this case was
one of the last which Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes heard before his
retirement. When the case is re-
argued, Justice Benjamin N. Car
dozo will be sitting on the bench of
the Supreme Court.

The Typhoon In The Far East

But for the fact that young col
ored men now between the ages of
Is and 81 will in all probability be
called upon to die to make another
world safe for white democracy, and
that many happy hearted young wo-
men will have to pass through the
nightmare of another war, comment
on the Sino-Japanese conflict might
be omitted.
But the United States and some
other portions of the white world
have no intention of allowing Japan
to do in Asia what these white races
have been doing throughout the
Western and Eastern world since the
invention of battle fleets and other
deadly instruments of war. That is,
IF THEY CAN HELP IT, THEY DO
NOT INTEND TO. That means war,
if not now, as soon as the white races
feel that they have any assurance
that they can halt Japan.
Japan, with her more than
100000 population actually

looking on her economically

concludes that this is an oppor-

Can You Suffer?

"Can you suffer-" 1t is this ques-
tion which | am passing on to you.
In securing for the Negro all of
those human and citizenship rights
which are his, can you suffer? Are
YOU willing to pay the price? It may
cost your life. Are you willing to
pay price as costly as that?
In developing Negro business to
the place where it will eventually
give gainful employment to an APP
preciable percentage of the members
Of our own race, can you suffer? 1t
may cost a cent more, for a little
while; it may even be of an inferior
quality Can you suffer?
The worth while progress of the
human race up through the centuries
has been attended by suffering. 1t
,ost ike anything to carve the Amer
lea of today out of the wilderness
chat was here four hundred years
lgo-it cost lives, suffering, hard
ships, privation.
The freedom of the Negro in
America was accompanied by in
ienSe suffering. Men, white and
black, fought and bled and died to
achieve freedom for the enslaved.
Many a white man lost his friends
and his family because he cham
oioned the cause of the lowly slaves.
Right now Gandhi, a man Of cul-
ture and refinement and splendid
educational advantages is in Jail, pre-
erring to suffer for the liberation
Of his people, rather than enjoy q
ife of ease, which he might easily
have done by choosing the course Of
least resistance.
We want our rights, but are we
prepared to make the sacrifices ne
;essary to get them, or do we wan

Must Work Hard
&c. Editor Tells
Business Group

BALTIMORE, Md. - 1.-THE road
to success is gained by hard work
and sound thinking" declared Ches-
ter A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas
City Call, in an address to the
members of the Association for the
Promotion of Negro Business, last
Friday evening.
LAS colored business men we must
do more than sell our color to the
customer. We must give them value
for money received" he said. "Our
job is to compete with white men
who have all the advantages of the
chambers of commerce and business
experts all over the country. But
we must not let this deter us in our
desire to press forward and to sue
coed. We must not be afraid to let
the facts of our business become pub
lie; we must learn the value of an
accurate and modern bookkeeping
system; we must face the facts"
Trials Strengthen
Mr.. Franklin pointed out the fact
that colored people ought to be
proud of the strengthening influences
of the trials and tribulations to
which they have been subjected for
many years. He indicated that the
reason for the untold suffering
among the whites during the depres-
sion was the softening influences of
civilization that had carried the
misfits along with the normal be-
cause all were white and all could
take advantage of the shelter such
civilization offers.
On the other hand, he pointed to
the stringent refining processes to
which the colored man is subjected
by civilization that attempts tc
hedge him in on all sides. He gave
this as the reason for the coloreC
mans comparatively easy surviya
during the depression.
Speaking from the same platform
William H. Davis, manager Of tn,
Amsterdam News. stressed the neeC
for the elimination of the word NE
gro from our business enterprises
until such time as the word shoul,
come into the good repute due it.
81 do not advocate Negro bust
ness" he said, but, business"
With a keen interest in aviation
Mr.. Davis declared that there wa
room for the colored boys to receiv
training in this field, but the way T,
an opening for work i n the fiel
would have to be led by a student
prepared in that line. He has pai
for the training Of two boys to ge
air pilots licenses.

which you may never get a penny,
which may cause you to be the butt
of scorn and ridicule, or which are
made primarily for others just be-
cause they are human beings? In
other words, can you suffer for
PRINCIPLE, like Gandhi is doing?
Yes, indeed, we want our rights.
So did the Colonists. And they got
hem by wrestling them from unwill-
ing hands. labor wanted its rights.
But the improved conditions under
which organized labor now functions
are the result of terrible struggle
Women wanted their citizenship
rights. But they got them only after
years of fighting and struggle.
The path of human progress is
strewn with the bones of men and
women, brave, courageous souls who
suffered and bled and died in order
that this world may be better place
in which to live. Can YOU suffer?
No true American, acquainted
with the history of his own country
and with the struggle of the colon
lists for Just treatment from the
Mother Country, doubts that India
ought to win her fight for independ-
ence and will win it. But before that
event is heralded to waiting world,
the iails of India will be filled by
those who have the courage of their
convictions, and the soil of that coun-
try will be saturated by the blood
of those who knew what it was to
to suffer and to make the supreme
sacrifice for a worthy cause.
The Negro agitates, complains
whines, mOurns, but is he WILLING

Back To Africa

The Virginia legislature last week
voted down a resolution to petition
Congress for the voluntary emigra-
ton of colored people to Liberia.
The resolution was sponsored by
alleged Garvey supporters, who have
not learned much since President
King of Liberia shut the door in their
faces and declined to permit them to
enter the West African republic over
ten years ago.
In as much as the word "volun-
tary" is used, the resolution is worth
as much passed as killed. 1t wouldn't
aid those who wished to go to Afri-
ca, and couldn't harm those who will
remain at home.
However, if Garveyites believe a
Virginia legislatures resolution has
any value in Liberia, they need to
wake up. What it takes to get over
there is around $500 a person and
a passport, neither of which can be
obtained by resolving anything.
