1.-THE presence Of the Negro woman
otter in politics has given the male
yoter many advantages he would not
have had otherwise. The rough shod
methods employed against Negro poll
ticians by white leaders cannot be
used against women. Then, too, the
woman voter has proved herself ready
to undertake the routine work of poll
tics, the registration campaigns, the
house-to-house canvassing. Working
in the. last two presidential cam
paigns has lost some of the illusion
about the game. She has seen it as
fight for better civic conditions in
state and nation. 1t is only natural
that the "do-nothing" policy of many
of her male leaders should have led
her to revolt, should have caused
her to assume leadership where she
found none. On the whole the woman
voter has thought less of her own
political neck and more of the politi-
cal neck of the Negro voters who trust
her. She has seen a job to be done
and set about to do it.
"The generalization of the last
paragraph will be bolstered up in
few specific facts to be stated in this.
In Mississippi, Mrs. Mary E. Booze,
taking leadership in worthy cause,
has challenged the United States SEN
ate to nominate a man, who dared
insult Negro womanhood. In Georgia,
Mrs. Williams, another colored wom-
an, is fighting the regular Republican
organization in its attempt to make
the party lily-white. In many states,
colored women have secured repre-
sentation to state and national con-
ventions. Not long ago Negro women
led the way to polling places in Flori-
da at the risk of their lives.
"In this day of political surrender
on the part of many so-called leaders,
there can be no such thing as women,
children or anybody else learning
politics too fast Indeed, the only
hope of politically enslaved race
seems to lie in the future increased
activity of Negro man h o d
throughout the country. And there is
no reason why the courageous and
enlightened Negro woman should
shorten her stride to the snail's pace
of her male fellow worker. It is to
her credit that she has taken up the
falling standard and held it out of
the mire of political defeat"

To the Editor:
Knowing that several dozens of
homes in the Twin Cities were SCI
cured for the Green Pastures cast, 1
hasten to write these few lines (since
our history making visitors have de-
parted from these shores).
1t appears as if the local cast man
agement five weeks ago approached
the Urban league officers relative to
accommodating some 101 persons,
members of this drama. Immediately
old files were retabulated. Places
were found for all.
In the meantime eight stars of the
cast requested hotel accommodation;
large first-class hotel was APP
preached, its management hesitated
obviously; another in the meanwhile
was secured, and when the former
heard of this decision thunderous
roar was heard that shook the loop.
Point one.
Now, the cheaper hotels got busy
that have never before sought or
wanted the trade of people of color,
yet they put in rates, bids that were
so ridiculously low that no Negro
home owner (taxes as they are),
could offer all nights chairs for the
rates charged by these erstwhile Lilly
whites" hotels.
Listen, compatriots, sgird myself
for the shock. Rooms and bath were
secured by the Green Pastures cast
for the sum of $3.50 per week. Point
number two.
Panic, Oh! Panic, where is thy
economic Jim. Crow sting!

S. c.. Scouts Win
Elephant Hide
Troop % Awarded Prize at Court
of Honor Meeting Long Prairie
Monday Night

The Elephant Hide, most priced
possession Of any Boy Scout Troop,
was formally presented to Troop

held Tuesday night at Long
Prairie. This Hide was won by
Sank Centre at the annual Round
up held last spring in the central
Minnesota district. This district
extends from Monticello to Ironton
which embraces a considerable
number of troops, so it was sig
nal honor for Sank Centre. The
Hide is mounted in a frame, and
bears the names Of the winners for
the past three years. Sank Centre
took it away from Monticello,
which had held it the two years
previously.
The Hide was presented by
Scout Commissioner Nash, chief
Executive Of this district and was
received by Senior Patrol Leader
Edward Dickhaus. During the
Court of Honor a playlet on WASH
ington was presented by John I)u-
Bots. Graham Morgan and Julian.
Dubois. Donald Rattle gave
short address on Scouting and
what 1t means to the boy and the
community. These members were
well rendered and added mater
tally to the program, which was
held in the school auditorium be-
fore packed house. The boys
were attended by Assistant Scout
master G. ". Morse.
