Audience Expects More

When the University Sym
phony Orchestra had played its
last number Wednesday evening
the audience applauded and kept
on applauding. Because the
musicians remained in the seats
the audience remained seated
also, thinking they would have
more music.
The demonstration brought
no response from the stage ex-
cept grateful smiles. At last
Harold S. Dyer, the director,
faced the thrOng and said:
"Tm sorry, but we've played
everything we know. The or
chestra is staying here on the
stage because it is going to have
its picture taken"
Whereupon Mrs. Bayard
WOOtten came forward with her
camera and tripod, and the peo-
pie, grateful for what they had
heard but disappointed at not
hearing more, dispersed.
Charles Pier, the visiting
'cellist, gave delight with his
solos. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Wheeler.

Negroes Biggest Problem One of
Dollars and Sense Coop Head
Declares

n. Y. City-Speaking before
the Virgin Islands Civic and In
dustrial Association here on Thurs
day evening, July 7th, Miss Ella
j. Baker, National Director of the
Young Negroes Cooperative
League declared that most real
and most direct problem facing
Negroes today is one of dollars
and sense.
''The present economic depres-
sion should have taught the Ne
gro some things in general with
other groups, and some things in
Particular as a group. OF tthe
lessons of general import, the
Negro should have learned that
for individuals and nations alike,
the day of sharply defined in
dividualism is rapidly giving
place to that Of mutual interde-
pendence; and that platitudes,
however high-sounding, do not
buy food nor pay the rent. As
for lessons Of special group in
%terest, he should now realize that
as much as he would like to be
lust another citizen, or human
being, the age-old prejudices
force him to both share in comm
on with other groups many prob
lens, and face in a very large and
definite manner problems that
are peculiarly his own. Which
problems are neither to be solved
by some philanthropy on the
part Of the powers that be, nor
by any act of Providence; but
only by the concerted and persis-
tent efforts of the Negro himself.
"This means, Miss Baker con-
Guided, ''that the Negro must get
down to the brass tacks of this
bread and butter proposition, and
learn to put more SENSE into his
dollars. He must be willing to
abandon all hopes Of building up
a Negro capitalist society upon
the ruins of big capital, and direct
his attention to the virtues of
Mutual Self Help. By the simple
process Of buying together the
things he consumes, thereby di-
verting the profit from the mid
die man into the pockets Of those
to whom it belongs, the consumer

ed that there are only 4 limited
number of commodities that are
sold cheaper by the chain stores
than can be purchased directly
from wholesale dealers. This
finding came as a result of the
clubs unique plan Of buying.
Which, in brief, is to have a Pur-
chasing Committee keep posted
on, and make regular reports up
on wholesale prices, which are
then compared with chain store
prices, and only such things, as
can be bought at a saving, are
petition with the chain stores and
independent grocers is eliminat-
ed.
This club in its several months
of existence has grown to the
place where its orders are made
biweekly instead Of weekly, there
by teaching housewives the value
of bulk buying and effecting a
greater discount in the cost price.
So decided has been the increase
in the business, that the society
now plans to purchase a truck.
Which will both facilitate the
present deliveries, and make it
possible for the buyers to deal
directly with farm producers.

Omaha,-The Citizens Cooper
alive Society has directed it's at
tention to the opening up Of a
Milk, Butter and Egg Dept, with
the hope Of soliciting the patron
age of one-thousand Negro house
wives.
The idea is &c have these one
thousand households purchase at
least one quart of milk, one
fourth pound Of butter, and one
half dozen eggs a day. From
which it is estimated that, with a
daily profit of one cent on each
item, there would result a gross
profit Of $4,000 a day, or $4,000
q month. With which it would
be possible to employ some five
persons for a joint cost Of three
hundred dollars, and to provide
against nominal losses, pay for
heat, Light, rent and telephone
and rental for an additional $145.

..REFUTES CLAIM LINCOLN
CAME OF COMMON STOCK

mere are no grounds for be-
llevlng, as many Omaha people
now believe that Abraham Lin
coin came Of inferior stock or that
his father was an Ignorant,
shlftless vagahound."
This is the gist of a message
received today by Michael J. Al
msteier, 1923 Aquila Court. from
DR.. Louis A. Warren, of Fort
Wayne, Ind, author of "Lincoln's
Parentage and Childhood" and
foremost living authority on Alb
raham Lincoln's early life. DR..
Warren has also asked Mr.. Aim
%steier, whose long standing inter
est in Lincoln has been greatly
whetted since his utilization with
the Lincoln National Life Insur-
ance Company, to put him in
touch with all persons in this To-
cality possessing documents or
other facts having q bearing on
Lincoln S parentage or ancestry.
Dr. Warren and Paul Manship.
famous American sculptor, have
just completed an exhaustive re-
search in Lincoln genealogy as
a background for Mr.. Manship's
heroic bronze statue "Abrahsm
Lincoln, the Hoosier Youth
which is to be dedicated at Fort
Wayne In early fall. This will be
the first statue p~ortraying the
boy Lincoln, and since there
are no known pictures of Lincoln
prior to the age Of 81, the two
sought to dig deep into the rec
ords OF Lincoln's youth to de-
termlne what the boy Lincoln
must have looked like. Their
findings are at sharp variances
with the ideas commonly held a.
bout Lincoln's ancestry and boy
hood, and the completed statue
will show young Abe" as a
clean-cut youth, dressed in rough
frontier clothes, but well-groom-
ed, strong and self-reliant.
Historians have been almost
completely stumped for facts on
Lhncoln's maternal side," stated
DIR. Warren. "But the paternai
side can be traced more readily.
and it is the paternal side that
seems to indicate that we have
been all wrong in our estimate
Of Lincoln's birth and boyhood.
Our searchings have led very de-
flnltely to the conclusion that
Lincoln forebears were Of no
means common stock, and that
despite tie fact Of LincoIn's
humble birth in a log cabin, the
family from which he sprang
was one Of outstanding men,
men Of ability and men Of afflu-
ence. The more we delye into
the records Of the Lincoln Nation
al Life Foundation. the more we
become convinced that Thomas
Lincoln, father Of the Civil War
president, was a stronger charac-
ter than formerly believed. We
have positive evidence that he
was a respected ard responsible
member of his community. And
we are certain that he came Of
the flower Of pioneer stock, a
stock that must have been perpet-
pated in the boy who was to be-
come the Great Emancipator."

RAILROAD TWO YOUTHS TO
DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR

Chattanooga, Tenn. (CNA) To
satisfy a white cops long-stand-
ing grudge,-and to provide an
other example to keep niggers
in their place." the state of Ten
nessee is planning to take the liv-
es Of two young Negro boys, US
ing once more the old lying
charge of rape.
The two boys, Oscar Bivens,
and Andrew Wilcox, were sent
enced to death in the electric
chair, by an all-white Negro hat
ing jury. The frame-up began
in March, when May Brown,
white, brought a charge of rape
against "some colored man"
Here's Browns tall story, which
was eagerly swallowed by the
jury.
May Brown and Willard Prince
a white man, were walking along
Rossville Boulevard at three
o'clock in the morning. They
said they were coming home from
the house Of a friend where they
had gone to attend a party. The
party didn't come off, because Of
sickness in the home. Yet for
some unknown reason, they stay
ed in the house until 3 o'clock.
As they were coming through the
Negro neighborhood, at 23rd st.,
two Negroes attacked them-or
so they say. One Of them "drag-
ged the white woman down the
hill", while the other iran the
white man off"
Negro witnesses, among them a
reputable old woman, testified
that they were awakened by the
sounds of a drunken fight and
saw this man beating up the
white woman and heard them
shouting and cursing at each
other. As usual, the word of a
Negro witness counted for moth
ing.
When the case came up in po-
lice court, May Brown testified
that it was so dark at the time
of the attack that she couldn't
identify anybody. When she
was taken to the county Jail to
view the lineup Of prisoners, she
left without being able to ident-
fly anybody, although the two
boys, Bivens and Wilcox were a.
mong them.
That was a golden opportunity
for Roy Clinton, white policeman
Bivens had previously defeated
one of Clinton's attempts to rail
road him to the chain gang
Since that time, the cop had been
out to "get" Bivens and his
friends. Only a few weeks be-
fore, Bivens and a group of
girls and boys were sitting
on the front porch of a friends
home at ten O'Clock on Saturday
when Clinton picked them
up and rode them around in a car
until after one o'clock, and then
brought them to Jail and booked
them for ''late hours"
Thus it came about that three
prisoners, who testified at the
trial heard Roy Clinton tell May
Brown that Oscar Bivens was the
man in the Coca-Cola cap and
give her the means Of identifying
Andrew Wilcox. Brown went
back to the lineup and mined
identified the two boys.
A white doctor from the Erlan-
ger city hospital testified that he
had performed an abortion on
May Brown for a two-month s
pregnancy and that the "baby'i
was a Negro. Everyone who
knows anything at all about such
matters knows that at this stage,
it is almost impossible to tell the
difference between the human
embryo and an animal embryo,
much less between Negro and
