DRIVING THE PAN-HANDLER OUTOF
THE TEMPLE

A S Jesus scourged the temple OF the money changers so lovers Of
4 \ justice and believers in race recognition must purge the race
OF "Pan-iandlng Politicians, y leeches and parasites, sapping the
strength OF an aspiring people. These vultures likewise prey upon
the candidates, giving nothing by way Of political strength, only
promise of a big vote that can not be effected.
Viewing around us the great progress having been made in
all lines of human endeavor, it is odd, that methods and trend of
thought Of office seekers as regard the "Negro Vote,' seems to be
at an utter stand still Time has not brought about the change of
viewpoint that it should. The intellect of the Negro voter has be-
come constantly improved. With that improvement Of the race,
and a determination to forge ahead. Yet the ~panhandler collect
from the candidates on the program racket, house rally racket,
church rally racket or sells the solid "Negro Vote at a price, like
selling Brooklyn Iridge-penty suckers have bought ii, without
the candidate ever awakening himself to progress around him.
When will political office seekers get abreast of the times,
realizing that Negro Thought" has greatly changed from the old
order, rebelEng against OutwOrn 10Th Century methods Of obtain
ing ''The Negro Vote" and offer to the Negroo voter the racere-
cOgnition that he is battling forhis prorata of appointments and
employment in government, recognizing in the pan-handler a blight
and scourge, driving him out in the manner deserved.
The sign of the times is on the Negro political pan-handers,
on the ancient, outward method of obtaining or influencing the
NEGRO Vote as well as being on the candidates traversing these
paths outworn by past generations. This sign of the times calls
forth every effort available to drive the pan-handler and all his allies
from the Temple Of Justice, fair play, race advancement, recognition
and respect

LOOKING BACK
("Saying Grace"
By Videtta Ish
For the Literary Service Bureau)

The newspapers published an
account OF an old farmer who
went to a restaurant with his son
and his city-bred daughter-in-
law. When the old man began to
"say grace'' his son kicked has
foot and the girl snckered. But
the old man "said grace right
on"
The farmer was taught this and
had so trained his children, but
they became ashamed and failed
to follow his teaching. So, it was
the custom among folks Of my
childhood days. Even non-Chris-
tians woud offer thanks for food.
And children would have been as
tonshed to see the family eating
without asking the blessing"
Now, conditions have changed.
Even in many so-called Christian
hsHaes they drop down and begin
eating with no thought Of God
and thanks. But such neglect will

ARE YOUR
CHILDREN SAFE?

T. Alfred Fleming, Supervisor
Of the Conservation Department
of the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters, tells Of a confer
nece he had with the president
of the Board Of Education Of a
large city on the subject Of fire
hazards in schools. The president
emphatically stated that all the
schools under his jurisdiction at
tanned the maximum IN fire safety,
and to porve his point, invited
Mr., Fleming to accompany him on
d tour, Of inspection. He SELECT
cd a sdfooi~having $500 students,
which had been in service only
two years, and was supposedlyaa
model structure Of its kind. v.
The inspection diclosed in
Vulnerable fife hazards, and re-
suited in an expert survey of all
schools in the city. This complet-
ed, a bond issue to the tune Of
100000 had to be issued to
eliminate the unnecessary dangers
in supposedly perfect schools.
AS Mr.. Fleming says, "The
trouble is so few people know
just what are hazards in public
building construction and what is
necessary in proper maintenance
of these buildings so as to avoid
the danger of catastrophe" Thou
sands o. existing schools which
are believed safe by officials in
charge, are the worst kind of fire
traps. Only a person experienced
in fire prevention can point to
hazards and show how they may
be eliminated.
Every American school, whether
it houses five pupils or five thou
sand, should have proper inspec-
tons to safeguard the nations
invaluable young lives - thou
sands of which have been need
lessly destroyed by fires in the
past.
The National Board Of Fire
Underwriters is more than anx-
ious to give expert ADVICE to any
community as to how to remove
fire hazards from schools.

Auction Block Reveals
Wanton Waste
By r. A. Adams

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
In Kansas CITY Star Of Sept. 2,
was a news item with the heading,
Richness on the Block" 1t told
Of the sale Of the furnishings of
the five story seventy room man
sion owned by the late R. A. Long,
millionaire lumberman of Kansas
City, Mo.
Among the things mentioned as
scheduled for the block were
"the $4,000 a dozen service plates,
the 5000 a dozen inlaid sherbet
cups; the standardized equipment
Of Longs private barber shop,
a pipe organ at the landing Of
the grand stairway, and a heavy
Austrian hand-tufted carpet that
will require twelve strong men to
lift"
This mansion exclusive of it's
furnishings cost $575,226.07. It
was called a five story limestone
treasure chest. The furnishings
were rated at 1907, 1887. One
clock alone cost $500, another
clock cost $1,000.
r. A. sLong professed to be a
Christian, he made large donations
and was counted a philanthropist.
He built a town and named it
L~ongview, to perpetuate his mem
cry. But he reveled and wallow
ed in all Of this extravaganza
while millions were hungry.
In the light Of such conscience
less waste while millions are hun
cry, it should not seem strange
that the masses are dissatisfied ;
that communism is gaining adj
herents; that labor should demand
a larger share of what it pro
duces; and that Christianity
should suffer from the conduct Of
such an inconsistent professor Of
its tenets.

The RAILROADS MAINTAIN
SERVICE

No industry has suffered greater
economic difficulties in recent
than the railroads. For them. the de-
preston did not begin in 1929-it start
ed just after thea war, and not a
single year since have they been able
to earn the legal "fair return" upon
their investment of 5 ga per cent
permitted by law.
Nevertheless, the efficiency of the
hines has been scrupulously main
tanned and improved. Not SO many
years ago car shortages were a COM
monplace-today there are no short
ages. Trian speeds, both freight and
passenger, have been increased,
spoilags of perishable goods in tran
sit has been reduced to a minimum.
and standards of safety have reach
ed the point where you are safer on
a train than in your own home.
The railroads have cut expenses to
the bone. But it seems impossible for
them to effect further economies of
lnportance-and It is inevitable that
will suffer unless measures
are taken to give the rails fair chance
TO earn a reasonable profit, even if
rate increases n necessary. Hun
Of thousands Of jobs, millions
invested capital, and the very exis-
tense of the nations principle means
Of transport, are at stake.

SOCIAL SINS
Seduction)
By DR.. A. G.. Bearer
the Literary Service Bureau,

Text: So that the hatred with
which he hated her was greater
than the love ~wherewith he had
loved her.---II Samuel 10 Is.
This text is a part Of the record
Of the sin of Amnon, son Of David,
against Tamon, his own half sis
ter. And it is typical Of all such
cases.
l. Seduction is Born Of Lust.
Lust, and not love, features in Sc
duction. Love will not destroy.
Love may desire sex association,
but will seek it in the right way.
Rather than work injury to the
one loved it will use restraint and
afford protection.
z. Affects Others than the I'm
mediate Actors. The deplorable
results of seduction reach more
than the man and the woman con-
cerned. The relatives, especially
the parents must share humilia-
ton, the sorrow and shame that
may come. Then there is the prob
lem Of illegitimacy to be con-
siderea. If the woman seducted
becomes a prostitute then all the
evil that may ensue will be check
ed up to the vile seducer.
3. Swift or Slow, Punishment
VIII Come. Sometimes punish
ment is swift as the death of
Amnon at the hands of Absalom /:
that Of Shechem at the hands Of
the brothers of Diana, daughter
OF Jacob whom Shechem forced.
Sometimes the wronged woman
takes the case IN her own hands
and kills, as Clara Smith did Jake
Hammond But punishment is in
evitahle for this terEible sin.

sponsored by the American Lee
giOn, which carries on continuous
work in the interest Of better
AmericaniSm.
In these trying times, it will
benefit every citizen if he looks
backward into the handful of pa
triots, who had suffered great
privations or long years of war to
break the bonds of governmental
oppression, marched home. Short
ly afterwards they established
the United States Of America
and for the first time in world
history liberty and equality be
came the fundamental principles
of a great nation.
There is danger that, in our
effort to obtain temporary bene-
fits and favors, in order to meet a
periodic depression ("casual en-
barassment" in the life Of a ma
tion,I as Thomas Jefferson de-
scribed it) we as a people will
lose part Of the great heritage
that was handed down to us by
our forefathers. Today the Con-
stitHtion is under attack-critics
would have US believe that it has
outlived its usefulness, and is only
a scrap of paper. If the Consti-
tuition is o%utmoded, SO is liberty,
so is the right to the pursuit Of
happiness, SC is the right to own
ership of property, and the priv
ilege and duty Of working and
saving for ones self. The Con-
titution deal with the basic prin-
ciples Of liberty, equality and
freedom from oppression which
r as timeless as the seas.
Every American citizen hould
resolve to do all in his power to
maintain constitutional liberty -
liberty which was won with blood
at Yorktown.

C"When the Shoes is on the
Other Foot'')
Bv A. 3. Mann

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
The following illustrates this
saying:
He was a philanderer. To his
wife, he boosted of his '"affairs''
with other women. He did not
contest the divorce suit, and his
wife won a decree. He was mar
ried again.
This new wife, a poetess, be-
came interested in a curly headed
poet. They were, seer together
very often. This husband had
evidence of improper relations be-
tween his wife and the poet. He
warned them both. Then he MUIR
dered the poet who was accused
OF alternating his wife's affection.
So. as in thousands Of cases, it
is not a matter of principle, but
OF whose foot is being pinched. A
common but tense reminder is
What's sauce for the goose
should be sauce for the gander."
