DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AND NEGROES

BY L. B. E.
Whether Benjamin A. Osborne,
who assumes the role Of spokesman
for the Negro in Indianapolis, de-
liberately or mistakenly misStates
facts makes little difference, but in
his efforts to assist the Democrats
he has gone far adeld from actu-
aities. He praises the President
for unprejudiced, thoughtful states
manship for selecting a Negro or
two for responsible positions in the
Virgin Islands, which we're acquired
from Denmark, and the population
of which is nearly wholly Negro.
In making this long jump to the
Virgin Islands, he bounced over
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and
other southern Democratic states.
He would have done we'll and
learned much if in his long jump
to the Virgin Islands he had stopped
over in the dark south" as it is
to the Negro. The basic foundation
of the Democratic party is the
solid south" and he should have
talked with some Of the overlords
of the Democratic party on his way
to these faraWay islands.
He could have gotten the south
ern Democrats feeling for the Ne
gro from Representative Homer c.
Parker of Georgia, who, when in
terviewed in December, 1882, as to
whether or not congress should au-
thoriZe action on the repeal of the
prohibition amendment by conven-
tons rather than by the legisla-
lures, said, in part:
IF we should permit the federal
government to call a constitutional
convention in Georgia for the pur-
pose of repeating the eighteenth
amendment, precedent would
therefore be established whereby
the federal government might later
call a constitutional convention in
Georgia and other states to reduce
the number Of Georgia's represent
atives in congress because of the
fact we have successfully disfran-
chised the Negro in our state"

POINTS TO OBSTACLES TO
COOPERATIVE SYSTEM.
By G. W. T.

BY G. W. T.
Mr.. Chambers stated the objec-
tives of the cooperative plan in a
very able manner. However, what
I am interested in is how are we
going to put the United States on
a cooperative basis. His explana-
ton is a very nicely described
utopia. How are we going to realize
this dream?
If the cooperative organization
can not be built over night, what
can we do in the day time as con-
sumers to help perfect this trans
formation?
Surely, Mr.. Chambers, you don't
expect INSCRIPTIONS, greedy profit
seekers to sit idly by and see this
magnificent cooperative structure
develop right before their eyes.
In fact. these money bags dictate
to us what we shall think, how we
shall worship and how we shall vote.
They are in the minority to be
sure-2 per cent Of the population
yet they control SO per cent of
our national wealth. They control
our means of communication and
transportation, and our sources of
production. They even have a
strange hold on the neck Of the
consumer.
Socialism has tried to break this
death grip of the plutocrats. We
can't say that it has failed, but it
hasn't accomplished much as yet.
On the other hand, we are told
that in Great Britain last year the
co-operatives returned to the con-
sumner $4,000 900 in surplus saw
ings. Please state how we small con-
sumers can expect, not hope, for
something better. How can we own
mills. warehouses and stores? We
haven't any money. We're broke.

ASKS FAIR STUDY
OF SOCIALISM

BY an Ex-Capitalist.
All credit to The Times for print
ing two such letters as appeared
in the Message Center on Oct. 16
regarding Socialism. I doubt very
much if either of the other papers
would have tolerated such opin-
ions.
Good for you, ''NGr. Another Times
Reader" May I reiterate your
views. Any poor man who is not
Socialist by now is not only a tool,
but also a trusting guinea pig for
the thirty or forty men whose finan-
cia1 influence rules the country. One
year ago I was not Socialist,
either, and it was because, like SO
per cent of the people, had no idea
what Socialism was.
To those who are trembling for
the capitalistic system, say but one
thing: Do you know what Socialism
is? Investigate it with fair mind.
That's all we Socialists ask.
I have seen lives blighted and in
nocent persons suffering, victims Of
our two greatest enemies, ignorance
and poverty. Socialists are fighting
these. What is so terrifying in that?

SUGGESTION MADE TO
COMPLAINING BARBER

By Joe.
AS a reader Of The Times, I would
like to comment on an item Monday
night concerning the barber who is
having trouble with outsiders de-
stroying property.
Is the barber living up to the bar
bers' standard? If so, there is no
reason why he should be molested
The NRA, I believe, is for fair CON-
petition and che not following the
simple rules Of that organization
bitches a horse to the wagon to pull
against its leader.
Is this barber following the ma
jority of his trade which wishes to
uphold the profession? If not, his
trouble will stop by doing so.

The Importance of Cheese

The Importance of Cheese
To use plenty of cheese is one way
to use more milk. 1t is true that
cheese does not contain all the food
values of milk, but it does contain
most of them. And cheese will keep
where milk will not. 1t can be used
in ways that milk cannot. There are,
however, certain things to remember
about cheese if you would enjoy it
most. 1t is very concentrated food,
and too much of it should not be
eaten at one time. 1t should be eaten
at meal with a fruit or a vegetable
or both. Whole-milk cheese is very
rich in fat therefore it should be
eaten with very little if any other fat.
Because cheese contains so much pro-
tein, it should be cooked at very low
temperature. In fast, most cheese
dishes should be cooked over water,
or in very slow oven.
Tomato Rabbit
Two tablespoons butter or other
fat, 15 small chopped onion, 2 table
spoons -four, Il pound cheese, shaved
thin, salt and pepper, 1 pint canned
tomatoes. Cook the onions in the fat
for few minutes and stir in the
flour. Gradually add the tomatoes
and cook until the mixture thickens.
Add the cheese, stir until it melts,
and keep the heat very low. Season
to taste with salt and pepper and
serve at once on crisp toast or on
crackers.
A quick way to make this rabbit it
to use canned tomato soup, instead OF
the canned tomatoes, which must be
thickened. In this case brown the
onion in little fat, add the tomato
soup, and when hot add the cheese.
Stir until the cheese is melted and the
mixture smooth. Use a ten-ounce
can of soup to q pound of cheese, or
more cheese if desired. This dish Is
often called "ringtum diddy."
ScalIoped Cabbage, Spaghetti and
Cheese
One and one-half cups spagretti,
broken in small pieces, 3 tablespoons
flour, 3 tablespoons butter or other
fat, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, Il
pound American cheese, 1 quart
shredded cheese, cup buttered bread
crumbs. Cook the spaghetti in boil
ing sailed water for 20 minutes and
drain. Make a sauce of the flour, fat,
milk and salt. Shave up the cheese,
add to the hot sauce and sair until
melted. Put the cabbage, spaghetti
and sauce in buttered baking dish IN
layers and cover the top with the but
tered bread crumbs. Bake 20 to 80
minutes in a moderate oven.
