is A KIDNAPPING NEWS?

A six-week-old baby girl kidnapped in Detroit
Monday; yet very little. if any, publicity given the
through the daily newspapers of the city Was be
the kidnapped child colored baby, of humble

press have kept silent?
We do not presume to answer these questions. We
convinced however, that whatever harmful social,
civic economic circumstances endanger the welfare of
coored citizens also imper the safety of our white
neghbors
The kidnapping of a colored baby is great a
society in general. the abduction of white
child whether rich poor Negro mothers capable of
suffering keeny for the loss of their little
white mothers suffer for theirs.
The kidnapping to which refer took place at
of the public clinics where the young mother had
gone for treatment In her absence, the baby taken

This the first abduction Of colored child to

kidnapping this year Newspaper publicity not given

unfavoraby after its splendid record of Kidnapping

WE DEMAND A SQUARE DEAL

In the contests Of life it is often difficult for Negro,
TO get square deal. After win, frequently de-
prived of the fruits of victory
This fact demonstrated in Detroit very recently,
when little colored boy who in the Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company's Free Trp-To-The Worlds Fair
contest induced by the management accept
check for fifty dollars instead of making the trip Chi
cago with the 40 white boys who won.
When asked why this was taken A. Wall
general superintendent of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company here told representatives of the n. A. A. c. F.
that he acted he did for the oored boys good as he
feared the youngster might have been lonely if he had
gone the trip with the white boys Mr. Wall declared
however that he and his firm had thought of dscrim
nation.
Robert Hopson. the i2-year-od boy in question re-
sides at 1927 Madison the A. r. store located
Madison and JOS. Campau. His heart winning
trip to Chicago and he worked ZealOusly the
necessary number Of being aided and encouraged
by hundreds of coored citizens in his neghborhood who
trade at the A. r. store.
In this particular neghborhood where large num-
bers Of cOored people reside the local A. p has
a white manger Other a. & p. stores in colored neigh
erntendent Wall and his company do assume that
these white managers in Negro localities lonely
otherwise they would replace them with 0 | or d
managers.
Without Negro patronage the white -managed stores
in these coored neighborhoods would be forced close
their doors
Stores that dependent upon Negroes for support,
should give Jobs managers clerks in those concerns
They should discriminate against our people and
newspapers but should give contestants ar equal
chance with other individuals in the public contests they
conduct and should place fair proportion of advertise
ment in Negro journals
Some business and chain companies are
beginning recognize the justice these contentious
and gradually placing Negro managers and other
ployees in their colored branch stores with satisfactory
results to all concerned In the spirit of econOmis justice
and selfpreservaton feel entirely justified in asking
and demanding the kind of square deal from other
business firms that depend upon our people for support

Always when the Negro race was

wonder if the coroner realizes
that he has set up form of dis

are involved?
Mr.. Editor. / wonder will he tell
us why that practice is necessary?
DO YOU suppose he considers the
Negro is not capable of sitting on
the jury when other races are in

duty when a Negro is involved.
Why does this policy work only
one way?
also wonder If the Coroner

THE NEW DEAL, = OUR
CITY GOVERNMENT
BY Theodore II. Barnes

Some years ago with corruption
rampant in our governmental cir
cles a few well-meaning and civic
minded individuals thought out a
plan which was. as Il ~ felt, des-
tined 10 do away with corruption
in public office. This plan was the
creation of a Civil Service Com
mission which did away with the
plan of the division of spoils and
placed public servants on a merit
plan. This plan has worked 10
much good in numerous instances
but in our own city, the City OF
Detroit, II was worked to the de-
triment of particular racial
group and that group is the Negro
Negro.
Numerous girls and young men
well qualified in their particular
lines. have been refused at times
examinations. and then when they
have passed examinations they
have been placed on the waiting
list of the Civil Service Commits
sion and have been kept waiting
because of one thing, thing
which they have no control over,
whatever, and that is their color.
Our Common Council. Mayor. and
Board OF Supervisors have winked
their eye at this condition for
number of years, and nothing has
been done about II. even though
many of our people have protested
against such discrimination.
In the Office of the City Clerk,
Richard Reading. the files of the
Election Commission headed by
Oakley f. Distin, show that peo-
pie applying for positions on the
polls have the same bug-a-bear to
contend with. that capital &C" be-
hind the names of Negro appli-
cants. The members of our Com
mon Council who were recon-
mended to the people by our Citi-
zen's Committee, which is none
other than a portion of the Michi
gan Employers and Manufacturer
Association. has repeatedly refused
to aid men of our group in OBJ
tanning employment. One or two of
our Councilmen have gone so far
as to appoint Negroes to the Board

segregation. Mr.. Rawlins' letter
reads in part as follows:
I'VE hear a great deal today
about the New Negro and his pro-
gress. AS l turn back the pages 10
60 years ago. and come down
through this one-half century,
find that he has deteriorated in all
lines of business. in which he had
the whites as his competitors. His
only hope for success is where he
has entered into what he calls "a
Gentleman's Agreement" that he
will segregate between the races;
in other words. he becomes an &C

You are laughing because your heart is white;
