AN INSPIRING REPORT

The 23rd annual report of the National Association

should the heart of every loyal Negro to beat with
pride.
We have before US a copy Of this inspiring document,
and opinion is of the most brilliant records OF
achievement that the organization has accomplished in
any single year of its history.
The Tribune comncnds this report TO its readers and
the general public especially critics of the organza-
ton 1t is we'll worth pcrsng in turbulent times like these
and the facts outlines concerning the work
Of law enforcement education, decency and defense so
courageousy and successfully carried by the y A. a.
G. r.. will not only prove source of valuable information
but will give hope and inspiration to the race.
According to the report Just issued the fed workers
for the y. A. a. c. r. estimate that approximately three
and half millions coored Americans at present I'M
cmpioyed 1t also states that this fact accounts for drop
of nearly $4,000 in the total raised by the n a.
a. G. p. during the past year.
New branches of the organization however are being
established in all parts of the country and the total mem
bership is constantly increasing.

We congratulate the n A. A. c. y. and its officials
upon the fine and satisfactory record made in 1882 and
feel confident that the general public will continue to give
the organization the loyal support in the future
which il has always given in the past.

HANG TOGETHER, OR HANG SEPARATELY

The fall primary election is fast approaching, and
many politicians in the local field have already announc-
or their candancy for public office.
We therefore appeal to the coorcd voters of Detroit
and Wayn, County themselves to the situation
and lose time in becoming affiliated with one or all OF
tile accredited political organizations conducted by and
for the Negro citizens of our commonwealth.
Scattered votes and small political units, working sep
ar3tely accomplish nothing. Cned and concerted ac-
ton is what
VIZ do assume the role OF political leadership for
have unbOunded faith in the sound judgement and
of the and women at the head of our
county. We believe it is possible for them to unite and
work together politically for the common good of our
group and the community at large
The times in which live too serious, and
the political and economic issues involved too vital
in dividing our efforts and scattering oul
votes at election time.
AS "A people, must hang together, we shall hani

Editors Ask Why
The S outh Is
Called Dixie"

Washington CNS) "A discus
sion is on among Southern editors
In answer to the question. "iroNv
does IL happen that the South is
called Dixie Land?'
"One theory attributes the name
to a Mr.. DiXy. a very clever fell
low who dealt in slaves in New
York. Mr. Dizzy knew how TO get a
slave ready for sale. He fed him
heavily and forbid any work. Very
soon Mr.. Dixy's wares were ready
10 put on the market. sleek and
corpulent. This happy intcrlude
impressed the slaves profoundly.
and they talked OF IL glowingly on
the plantations OF the South. so
that Mr.. DiXy's name soon became
a synonym for good living and no
hard work which accorded with
the sort of paradise the South
was romanticaly believed to be.
Another story runs that prob
ably Dixie sprang from the name
Dixon" since Mr.. Dixon collabo-
rated with Mr. Mason in marking
off the favored land. Other expla-
nations doubtless have been de-
veloped, none of them undisputed
The Journal would be glad to help
clear up this confusion. or AT
least give currency to- other en-
gaging theories on the subject II

These enterprises were in opera

Out of this vast number of en-

$14,000.000 yearly. This makes an
average of 1924 per year for each

Therefore, most of these enter

A large number OF them have
been in operation for quite a few
years and up to the present time,
the progress of these places seem
very slow. Therefore, am to be-
