Various Solutions
OF Race Problem
Heard By Forum
SPEAKER EXPLODES SUPERIOR.
ITY MYTH

In a we'll planned and delivered lee
ture Mrs. Mable Lewis, teacher, writ
er and lecturer satisfied discriminat-
ing audience that the inferiority of the
Negro as expounded by some psuedo-
scientists was nothing more than a
myth. In an address, forty-five min
utes in length, the speaker offered
hearers various solutions of the
American race problem as offered by
Thomas Nelson Page, Eggleston, and
E. Reuter-.
Other persons called upon to say a
few words were Harry L. Scott, local
attorney, who is candidate for the
state Legislature, and Miss L. O..
Smith, another local attorney.
On Sunday, June 9Th, the St. Paul
Sunday Forum under the leadership
of DR.. ]. Walton Crump, will pay the
Minneapolis Forum the annual off
cial visit. Earlier in the year As
members of the Minneapolis Forum

determined to bring from the city
down the river over 100 persons. The
Ramsey county folks will give the en-
tire program on that occasion.

This World
NO DISHONESTY TOLERATED
N. A. A. C. p.
FIREMEN AND POLICEMEN
EVER PRESENT
Cecil f Newman
Cecil E. Newman

1t is becoming increasingly appar-
emit that the people will no longer
tolerate dishonesty in high officials
of the church. The suspension of
Bishops w. T. Vernon and Joshua
Jones, by the recent A. M. E. general
conference, places the stamp of dis
approval on all future dishonesty in
high church circles. Such things no
doubt give the organized church a
black eye but the courageous ham
ding of the situation by the A. M. E.
delegates rebounds to the credit of
the elected representatives of the
church.
There was a time not so long ago
when leaders of the Negro in civic,
political, and religious activity COM
mitted wrongs brazenly, and were
forgiven or else the people allowed
them to cover up their misdemeanors.
Then along came the Negro press
and the country has become unsafe
for dishonest leadership.
We do not feel sorry for Vernon,
the people have been good to him.
Innumerable honors have been his,
but he has failed most ignominiously.
A two hour perusal of the 22nd
annual report of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, convinces me anew that
this great organization is the most
useful force for the progress of the
Aframerican in America today.
It is real pity that it is so poorly
supported financially by the ID mil
lion Negroes for whose well-being
and protection it is maintained. Even
before the depression the people did
not support it as they should have.
A membership to the N. A. A. c. p.
costs only the price of two admissions
to a dance or two seats to a picture
show.
With all the complaining that nu-
merous Negroes do about injustices,
racial determinations, etc., it would
seem logical that most of them would
naturally hold membership cards in
the N. A. A. C. P. But, alas! This
is not the case. Not 10 per cent of
the colored people belong to the as
ISOLATION. Most of them never think
of the organization until they get
into some difficulty.
The N. A. A. C. P. deserves the
unstinted support of every justice
loving man, woman and child.
Minneapolis folks, good on COM
planning, having good time, etc., are
fast asleep on the municipal and coun-
ty government jobs. In st. Paul
enough colored men are employed in
the fire department to fill one entire
fire company. st. Paul citizens of
color are we'll represented in many
city and county departments. Not all
of their jobs are mental tasks either.
Two men, Clarence Wigington and
VIM. "Teed" Godette, are in the city
architects office; Ora c. Hall has
been in the county auditors office for
years. There are others with re-
sponsible positions and even in st.
Paul there should be more. But Min
neapolis is 20 years behind. Some
day, maybe, some of us will wake up.
Suggestion: 1t would be good
idea for all of these political organi-
cations that are springing up in both
Minneapolis and st. Paul to bend
every effort to get every Negro voter
on the registration books. Politicians
only count people who are on the poll
books.

PROMISING

Marylands metropolitan area
can complete its extensions OF
the District park system with
$1,C00,00O from the fund that
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission will ask
Congress for at its. next session
Irving c. Root, chief engineer OF
the Maryland commission, said
today,
Stressing the cheaper land
values now offered them, Root
pointed out that funds now will
buy twice as much park land as
several years ago.
These purchases may include
about six miles along Cabin John
Creek, and shorter lengths along
Rock Greek and Sligo Creek, fill
ing out the program for park
development in the area set aside
as the metropolitan area.
Portions of this fund can be
spent in Prince Georges county
also, Root pointed out, il the
county will adopt a park tax to
repay the Federal loan.
The most expensive areas OF
the system have already been
ACQUIRED, he said, with funds that
will provide a half-mile park on
Cabir John Greek, three miles on

MEDICAL COSTS
ANALYZED

Members of the executive COM
mittee of the committee on costs
Of medical care concluded their
meeting at the Hotel Mayflower
today with a luncheon.
The committee which has been
considering the problem of pro-
viding adequate, scientific medical
care to all members of the popu.
lation at prices they can afford
to pay, has made 20 studies in
the course of its inquiry, of which
the last, dealing with group sup
port of medical service, was made
public at this meeting.
This study dealt with an ex-
pertinent at Roanoke Rapids, N.
c., among working people. Two
groups were selected, one of which
served by physicians on the usual
fee-for-service plan, while the
other groups members paid a
weekly fee. This latter group, 1t
developed, received medical SER
vice for less money than the
other, and availed themselves
more frequently of medical atten-
ton.
The weekly fee group, COM
posed of families with average
incomes of $1,274, received the
grade of medical attention ordi-
narily received by families with
incomes of $4,000, and the physi-
clans income averaged $8,409,
against $5,4OO to $4,000 for ply
Sicians in similar communities
elsewhere.
The weekly fee was IS cents,
and this was supplemented by
the employers.

TALLANT TUBBS
SUPPORTED
BY VETS

Unqualified support for Tallant
Tubbs, Republican candidate in
the senatorial race in California,
against william Gibbs McAdoo,
Democrat, was announced today
by Jouett ShouSe, for the ASSocia'
ton Against the Prohibition
Amendment. The third candidate
in the race is the Rev. Robert P.
Shuler, competing under the pro
hibition banner.
Shouse said the executive COM
mittee of his organization voted
unanimously to support TubbS
upon the recommendation of
the California division of our
association. based on the fact that
the issue of unequivocal repeal is
apparently Clear cut in the Cali
fornia senatorial race"
Tubbs' stand, the Shouse state
ment declares, was definite in
his position for repeal. The posi-
ton of the Democratic nominee,
has not been made clear. So
far as is known he has refused
to commit himself in favor of re-
peal in response to missionaries
sent him."
The statement concluded:
"Our association believes that
the cause of repeal will be dis
dnctly advanced by the election
Of Mr.. Tubbs; that it might be
retarded or embarrassed by the
election Of Mr.. McAdOO; and,
therefore, it urges those who
believe that the eighteenth
amendment should be eliminated
from the Constitution to vote,
Tor Mr.. TubbS in November"
