EDITORS NOTE

The article that appears below IS a
clipping from the Commercial Appeal
We consider this on the whole, a very
timely letter from Sanford Dixon Bis
hop, Starksville Mississippi. Mr.. Bishop
advises that Negro racial leaders should
assume the burden Of responsibility for
making their people better. As editor
Of the Weekly Echo, I firmly believe
that it is impossible for Negro racial
leaders to assume the burden of re-
sponsibiity. For, unless in assuming
this responsibility the southern white
man is willing to share in this respon-
sib.lity; unless he is willing to help
protect Negro racial leaders in this re-
sponsibiity; unless he is willing to
see to it that school facilities that
stress, sewage and housing conditions
in Negro sections are made betttr, the
results # the activities of Negro lealers
will not be far reaching, Experience has
taught me in dealing with the southern
white man that personal favors and
personal recognition can be obtained
ty some members OF cur group, but
when it comes to group consideration
we are practically ignored Most any
Individual Negro has a particular white
friend who will see to it that such
favors and consideration are given to
an individual, but if Negroes as a group
get together and ask for certain rec
ignition, such as improving streets,
registration, schools and lighting GER
tain sections Of the city where Negroes
lives, that group is really ignored.
Experience has taught me about the
only way that we can get recognition
along said lines, especially in our COM
munity, is through an individual Negro
represented by some influential white
friend.
Of course, one can easily see the
psychology of such action with refer
euce to our group.
The letter is as follows:

ment that play major part in de
yeloping relations that prove anti-so-
cial. The masses of negroes are une-
ducated; coming from small rural COM
munities they hardly have a grammar
school education. This tends to make
the Negro misunderstanding and back
ward when placed into a rapidly pac-
ing world. There are no rigidly en-
forced laws to see that these people
are compelled to attend school Second
~ housing conditions for the Negro are
far below a Hvable standard. Usually
they overcrowd the back street tene-
'mcnt houses that are made accessible
TO them. Thes houses are poorly venti-
lated, inadequately lighted and kept
in a very filthy condition. People with
all types Of diseases are allowed to re-
remain, unmolested, by the depart
ment Of health
Thousands Of Negroes come year
ly into this type of environment. They
remain, live, eat and sleep daily in the
same old hole Their minds, already
undeveloped, become stagnant, their
bodies sluggish and unhealthy. Life
becomes q dreadful existence. Nothing
matters. Others lives as well as theirs
become valueless, They lose their
souls.
Negro social workers are being con-
fronted constantly by these conditions,
They have tried many things but find
slow progress. These people cannot do
the job alone. The cities will of necec-
sity, have to step into this Environ
mental conditions must be changed;
back street tenements must be replaced
by adequately built homes or apart
ments. Negro education must be made
compulsory and rigidly enforced; san
itation must be stressed and taught to
these people; employers must do their
part by requiring employees to come
from respectable environment.
If the Negro moses can obtain more
direct educational advantages and more
wholesome environmental facilities all
over the south, Grim among Negroes
will hastily be removed and our south
ern cities will no longer have to bear
such horrible records Of crime.

NEGRO AND CRIME

Your article Homicide in South
ern Cities disclosed some very inter-
esting facts about crime. True it is that
crime among Negroes in prevalen in
the southern states. This crime fur
nishes bad credentials for the cities
generally. Something should be done
about it. Southern cities should make
more law abiding citizens Of Negroes.
Negro racial leaders should assume
the burden of responsibility for max
ing their people better"
Not only should Negro racial leaders
take hand in this great problem but
leaders Of every community Without
aid from the other races the negro
leader will be heapless in mis- efforts.
To be instinctively criminal is not a
true characteristic of the Negro race
but unfortunately there are other fac
tors. coming under head Of environ

"GALLANT FOOL" IS NOVEL COM
BINATION OF THRILL ELEMENTS


The exciting existence of life in the
cattle country has supplied material
for plenty Of entertaining westerns.
The daredevil, cowpunching hero who
chases bandits before breakfast and
shoots up" a man as casually as a
city-bred chap lights cigarette, is the
idol of thousands. Variety, however,
is sometimes lacking in such pictures.
For this reason, a feature that combines
popular outdoor elements with the in
PRODUCTION of fresh colorful material,
lis a welcome innovation.
"The Gallant Fool" which comes to
the Temple Theatre on Saturday an
swers this description. Silhouetted "a
gainst the primitive background of
ranch life, it depicts the conflict that
arise between residents of big Bend
and members Of a travelling circus
troups who show in the vicinity Rough
riding and other cowboy features are
varied by the introduction of thrilling
aerial trapeze work and other enter
tanning circus stunts performed by pro-
fessionals.
Bob Steel is starred in the picture,
and proves his versatility by imperson-
ating the circus star instead of doing
his usual western characterization.

Zuppke Would Return
Grid Training Table

Chicago. Sept. 14.-lH1-Return of
the football training table, which al
most wrecked the western conference
after it was banned % years ago, was
advocated Thursday by a majority of
the Big Ten" gridiron coaches. They
were of the opinion that re-establish-
ment of the training table. with the
gridiron hopefuls eating regular meals
at the expense of the universities,
would be a wise venture.
Robert M. Zuppke. veteran coach Of
the University of Illinois, who first
suggested the return of the training
table. said that many of the football
players were forced to cat frugally,
some Of them spending only Is cents
a day, and that they were entitled to
get at least wholesome food as a re-
ward for their services.
