A baby laughs as If its face
Reflected sunshine from the sky;
The light may fade and leave no trace
Amid the clouds, as years go by.
One man will show a cunning leer,
Or grin with avaricious pride;
Another with contemptuous sneer
Has put true laughter far aside.
A few retain the power to touch
Each weary day with generous fun.
AL men attempt to laugh; but much
Depends at last on how it's done.

1000 Appeals To
N.A.A.C.P. In Year

NEW YORK.-No less than ten
appeals for legal assistance came to
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People in
single day, February 8, bringing
conservative estimate that no less
than 1000 such appeals come to the
national office during the year.
Appeals include all varieties of
assistance required, from colored
purchasers of property two ask po-
lice defense against mob threats, to
colored men and women charged
with and often convicted of crimes
they did not commit.
The estimate of 1000 appeals for
aid year, coming to the national
office, is exclusive of perhaps an
other 1,500 appeals going to local
branches, many of which are han
died locally with advice, and some
times financial assistance from the
national office.
The N.A.A.CP. makes two condi-
tons upon its entering a case, tho
each case is judged by the national
legal committee on its merits. The
are: l. Does the case in
volve color discrimination? 2. Is
some fundamental citizenship right
of colored Americans involved?

PHILADELPHIA, Po.-One hour
by bus and trolley, fifteen minutes
by motor, and twelve minutes by
train, "as the crow flies" toward
Chester will bring you to Darby
Township. A Township, as a terri
torial subdivision of county has
certain powers of municipal govern
ment for local purposes. In Darby
these powers of municipal govern
ment are carried on practically by
Negroes. More definitely, the gov
erning body is composed of five
commissioners of whom four are
Negroes.
In 1903 there were only three or
four Negro families in this settle
ment. They grew in number until
ten years ago they succeeded in
electing one commissioner to the
board. They also had one repre-
sentative on the board of education.
Within three years, there was a
Negro majority in the governing
body, and such has been the condi-
ton for the last seven years.
Fifty-siX county townships, gov
erned by commissioners have an an
nual commissioners convention. Only

jority has the Darby Township Board

Bank Reopening Mark
ed By Jim Grow Parade

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The
citizens of jefferson City have un-
dergone a severe crisis here in that
the First National Bank was closed
by examiners because the capital
stock was impaired. The citizens,
white and black, worked together
like Trojans to raise the required
additional 100000 stock without
any thought of discrimination. How
ever, the comedy of it is that when
the required amount had been raised
and the Victory Parade was staged
here on Monday evening the col0red
Boy Scouts were separated from the
white scouts and Negro citizens
asked to bring up the rear in the
parade which they refused to do. The
only colored citizens who had prom
inent places in the parade were those
who were either clowning or were
carrying banners as usual.
At the program following the pa
rade held at the Junior College, Ne
groes We're directed to the gallery,
which was in contrast to the meet
ing held in the same building when
the city was in trouble and Negro
citizens were implored to take stock
in the reorganized bank. They were
then invited to take choice seats.
It's the same old story: When our
good white folks need help they do
not discriminate but as soon as trou-
BILE is over they kick us in the
pants as usual, Notwithstanding the

EVANSVILLE, lnd.-The National

not hold its 1882 meeting in Cleve-

to the holding of their convention.

ing plans for participation in the

"The various state organizations
have agreed to the change and all are

to New Haven last year with his wife
and nine children. In Durham, N. c..

unless he should be stricken and

When he could get no job In New

told that a law, passed in the early

to feed him and his children, since
he was not a resident for four years
in Connecticut. The law aslo enables
the board to deport him to the state
from which he had come, Brisbane
was told.
A committee of workers from the

protest to the charity board. The
board promised not to deport Bris-
bane unless Durham officials agreed
to take care of him and his family
