PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT

Many and various have been the
explanations giving the cause of the
present depression. But whatever the
cause the one outstanding fact over
and above all is the very serious UNI
employment situation. With multi
tudes of idle men throughout the
country, and the remainder either
working half time at a greatly reduc-
ed wage, the buying power of the la
boring classes, both skilled and un-
skilled, is causing serious concern to
everybody. The prosperity of the ma
ton depends on the ability of the
masses of the people to spend money.
Therefore it plainly obvious that the
pressing need is a widespread system
of putting men to work. What seems
to be a wise suggestion is made by
the CALIFORNIA VOICE, published
in San Francisco. 1t advocates a
gigantic campaign of national road
building, sponsored by the federal gov
eminent. The editor says:
"As an outlet for surplus labor, in
asmuch as they are about the only
thing that can be produced without

Bishop E. Jones
Comes Out For
Herbert Hoover

Paterson, N. speaking before a
large congregation Sunday, at the A.
M. Zion Church, Bishop E. d. w. Jones
espoused the cause of the Republican
Party in the coming presidential cam
paign, telling his listeners that "the
Garner-Texas menace is too frighten-
ing to even think about" He char
acterized Speaker Garner, the Demo
cratic nominee for vice-president as
/" terrorizing nightmare and impos-
sible."
Said Bishop Jones:
81 am going to support President
Hoover and advise my race to do like
wise. The Garner-Texas menace is
too frightening to even think about.
AS a n~on-partisan advocate, selection
of party and candidates is now in or
der, and the conclusion is easily
reached that Speaker Garner is a ter
rorizing nightmare and is impossible.
81 do not believe that President
Hoover has been approached by the
sort of Negro leadership that he could
in any sense heed or respect. Ha-
men instead of Esther has represent
ed us at the throne. President Hoo
yer is not a race man and / doubt
if we want him to be. He is the Presi-
dent of the whole people. Negroes
must not interpret the doctrine of fair
play to mean special advantages for
any SINCE group exclusive of all
others. President Hoover thinks of
humanity in word terms. He cannot
in his broad platform help one with
out helping ALL"

or state OHcldls.
Some 5000 American farmers are
still situated on roads that become
impossible in winter, preventing them
from marketing their goods at the
most advantageous time, from sending
their children to school, from receiv-
ing quick medical attention when
needed, from keeping social contacts,
etc.
The expenditures of a road dollar
serves a double purpose, in that it
puts money in circulation while actu-
ally providing something we need,
and so is not to be confused with ire
lief" appropriations that put money
into circulation but do little perma-
nent good. Placing a man to work
on a road means that we provide an
ether one with work somewhere else
supplying materials.
1t is said that the country could
build a hundred thousand miles of
good roads now, and make use of
every mile. That is something worth
striving for. Every state and every
county must do it's part. Modern de-
velopments which have made it posi-
BILE to build fine waterproof, full
width highways for a very few thou
sands dollars a mile, allow us to do
needed road work without plunging
ourselves into debt"

Personalities
By Nellie Dodson

The honorable GEORGE BERRY
says he would like to take wei this
column so that he could write what
HE wanted to write. Seems to think
that if the private doings of Yours
Truly were recorded here, the column
would pep up a bit. No doubt.
Great big he-men are now taking to
the noble vocation of STREET COR
NER SPYING. Can you imagine the
GENTLEMENLY, WELL-BRED,
young males parked gleefully on a
street where they can watch with ut
most delight Except when streetcars
obstruct the view the actions of peo-.
pie whose business is far from con-
corning them. They howl and shout
with discreet mirth as they think of
how they are going back to their
friends and inform them of the hap
by results of their vigil. They even
FOLLOW their victims to be sure
that they won't miss anything. Next
day they are up bright and early
(about noon) so that they can tell
ALL ABOUT their discoveries. Te-
lephone bells jangle and the "Have
you heard?' begins its progress. And
what uya rno11u n horTo1occ ipai1cn4
is changed into a ramping, roaring
flame of gossip, and JUST BECAUSE
SOME PEOPLE who believe in mind
ing everyone else's business think it
is cute and very clever to put the
spotlight on affairs which do not even
remotely concern them.
After checking up on a few of the
wild tales which have started around
our far cities in the last three months,
a few of the girls who have been
anxious to find out just who these
MALE-GOSSIPS and SCANDAL
MONGERS are, seem to have sifted
out the fact that there are THREE
MAIN OFFENDERS, two of whom
are supposedly sane-minded, we'll
principled COLLEGE MEN during the
school year, but don't know what
steady WORK means at any time.
The third does most of his talking
when he is around the other two, but
still does more than is going to be
good for him in the near future. SLAM
derous gossip which has recently died
down before it got off to a good start,
has definitely been traced back to
ONE of the thsee. He is one of
those insects who loves to repeat
tales of his OWN exploits and just to
prove what a gentleman he is, he
drags the names of his companions
right into the mire with his own.
Girls, who have no other defense than
verbal, are his choice victims. Boys
who might retaliate with a good swift
punch in the jaw, don't. seem to inter
est him.
Maybe if some of these tongue-wag-
ging dirt-peddling males would be put
to work, and when l say work, |
don't mean any Southland job," they
would find less time to stand around
that certain corner and tear reputa.
tions to pieces. More than three

THE NEG 70 VOTE.

The ST. PAUL DAILY NEWS, daily, in a recent editorial called the at.
tention of its readers to the Negro vote in the following editorial which we
reprint:
For the first time since Lincolns proclamation, signs ire not lacking
that the struggle of Negroes for political and economic freedom is beginning
to be won. H
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is
launching a national campaign for enfranchisement of colred voters in the
south, for distribution of school funds to give Negro children equal educa-
tonal opportunities with white children, for abolition of the Jim Grow ss-
tenn.
They urge the 49, o 900 colored Americas to use the franchise with in
teligence and refuse to be herded by political bosses to the polls. They urge
an economic program designed to give the colofed worker parity with the
white in wages and living standards.
Most cgnifcant is the growing potency of the "black vote" Since the
World var scattered so many Negro families from the rural south into nor
thern cities, this vote is being felt. It is n o secret that the political power

Cunoch of Ohio were retired. In the defeat of former Sen. David Baird for
governor of New Jersey, it was estimated that out of 10000 Negro votes cast
fully $4,000 wereag against Baird.
