Help Needed
Chance For
Good Fellows
COUPLE WANT CHANCE TO HELP
THEMSELVES

A St. Paul couple with three chill
dren, the woman born in Minneapolis
many years ago, recently returned to
st. Paul. The husband has been out
of work for many months. Because
they have not lived in St. Paul for
several years the charities are not able
to help them. They have an old auto
mobile that they want to convert into
a truck so that the husband and the
oldest boy can pick up junk and in
that way keep the family in food and
shelter. The quarters in which they
now live are not fit for habitation.
What they need is license for Their
dilapidated car so the husband and
son can earn living. Are there any
big hearted people in the Twin Cities
who would like to help these unfor-
Inmates? If so get in touch with the
HERALD and we will send them to q
place where Good Samaritans will be
welcome.
Rev. Carlyle Stewart and St. James
church have been helping these people
some. Now is the time for all good
Credjafawns. Canoes, Majestics, etc.,
to aid another worthy cause. Gall the

Pullman conductors are being rapid
ly replaced by porters-in-charge on
many Pullman sleeping car runs. The
same is true of dining cars on many
railroads. Colored men have never
been considered qualified to operate
as conductors on sleepers and diners,
but they ARE qualified to run as
BOTH walters and conductors or por-
tiers and conductors. Which to our
way of thinking some contradiction.
Retribution: M. L. Wann, the tough
Ala b a m sheriff who allegedly
framed" the Scottsboro Boys was
shot and killed by member of his
own race Wednesday, May a.
Politics: In Indianapolis Henry j.
Richardson, Jr., was nominated for the
Indiana state legislature last week. In
Minneapolis Harry L. Scott is running
for the legislature again. Many years
ago when he ran the white people and
the tlittle Negroes" supported him
but the "big Negroes" fought him be-
cause he was young, newcomer and
spoke his mind freely. The late VIM.
R.. Morris and other "oldtimers"
thought it was a shame because the
young attorney had the temerity to
run for the legislature.
Gain: When the U. S. Supreme
Court ruled recently against the Texas
Democratic bar on Negro voters the
vote showed strang lineup. On the
side of right and justice were found
Justices Hughes, Cardozo, Brandeis,
Stone and Roberts. On the side of
unfair methods were Justice Van De-
vanter, McReynolds, Sutherland, and
strange to say, Justice Pierce Butler,
a Minnesotan.
Just suppose Judge John j. Parker
had been successful in his fight to
reach the supreme court bench?

Our nomination for the most cou-

come of the Massie case, is the MIN
NEAPOLIS TRIBUNE. The editor
ial in that daily of May 9Th, was a
classic on law and order. With papers
and individuals applauding the in
famous communication of the four un-
fortunate mainlanders, the TRIBUNE
justified it's reputation for clear per-
spective, and fearless policy by stand
ing up for law enforcement despite
the capitulation of many to the forces
of Judge Lynch.
Again, we salute the TRIBUNE!

Last week, fanatic shot down Paul
Doumer, son of poor parents, who
rose to the presidency of France. 1t
is difficult to conceive just what good
the assassin of Frances president ex-

deed. Some assassins have been sane
men but none of them by their deeds
have helped the cause of civilization.
Next to the man who wilfully takes
a mans life is. the one who wilfully

flies as a mere political thunderbolt loosed
at random in a state of hysteria. which is an
inherent confession OF weakness.
Everywhere the people cry for leader
ship. So far nowhere on the political horizon
is a leader with appeal to them. Any conf
dence they may have in such mediocre par
tisan leadership as we have is rapidly being
destroyed.
For this condition the times themselves
are in large measure responsible. We have
had such crisis before and out of them has
always come outstanding leadership. 1t will
come again.
All of us will do well to remember
that whatever the outcome of the develop
ing political hysteria, we shall have to live
with one another when it is ended. This is
not a time to foster. group, class or sectional
hatreds.
In large measure such hatreds have
brought us better to approach the coming
campaign in the spirit of patriotic duty than
in blind and unreasoning prejudice.
We seem to be in for a long run OF polit-
ical fever. 1t will be well to apply the ice
packs early. The politicians now gesturing
are the pie hunters, the men who seek to
control party organizations for the jobs and
the power and the peff. They are giving
themselves a most lurid introduction.
The Republican national committee at
this time. in the approaches it is making to
the northwest, reminds The Herald much
of the small boy who has defiled family
discipline and knows that he is in for a lick
ing. 1t squirms, and g~esticulates. and den
les. and promises, but there is no good in it
And before our Democratic friends take
too much credit to themselves, let them re-
call they have not before the people at this
time one constructive issue. They are simp-
ly calling names across the fence on the way
to the swimming hole.
Both the major parties seem to be in
danger Of failing in their country at a time
when it needs them both more than ever
before. Both of them have a distinct duty to
perform It IS a time to stipulate facts and
go on to the meris of the case.
Partisan leadership that cannot do that
has outlived its usefulness and deserves to
be kicked out, whether it is Republican or
Democratic The people are getting ready
to do that. PARTY leadership in all the groups
should take notice.

THE COMING POLITICAL
by Thomas H. Moodie)

Ills country is entering upon one OF
the raost mo,aentous p~olitica.. campaigns in
its history The signs Of that are all about
Political leaders in one grouping have
become desperate and panickv and are
clearly showing it. Those IN the other ale
pie hungry and eager.
Already the atmosphere is charged
with prejudice, Misrepresentation. all the
influences that go to confuse the people.
Of this sort Of thing we have an early
and spectacular beginning. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that before many more weeks we
sharll have gained more dignity and poise
in all partisan groupings.
Failing in that we shall have ample ground
to warrant the %scrapping of both the major
parties in favor Of a new alignment that will
at least command some respect for its integ-
rity, and put before the people something
in the way Of a program reasoned and On
structive.
Whether we be Democrats or Repub-
leans, or what have you, we are in grave
danger Of becoming so ridiculous and so
disgustingly impotent that the people will
turn, as well they may, to new leadership of
broader comprehension and sounder judg-
ment.
The abuse Of President Hoover at this
time is little short of malicious. The Herald
holds no brief for him, but It is frank to say
that the attacks made upon him are little
less reprehensible than some of the methods
invoked in his defense. The political prova-
cateurs are not all Democrats.
The President of the United States is
carrying a tremendous load. He is beset by
enemies, maligned as a result Of political
iealousies, harangued by doctrinaires and
foreign ~sympathizers. He faces an antaeon-
site congress and he has as shamelessly
thankless a partisan following as any man
has ever had in the history of this nation.
tie is himself confused and probably heart
sick. He is keeping on, keeping on rather
desperately. he is entitled to better treat
ment and the respect and compassion ef the
people.
The publicity being released by the Re
publican National COMMITTEE from its Wash
ington headquarters regarding the so-called
Reconstruction Finance Corporation, pro
posing relief for agriculture, and
industry is better calculated to create panic
than to allay it. It is t~actless, a~ssinine, quail
