Since the big election is over

am sure it was a surprise for Rev.
L. w. Harris. A few Sundays be-
fore election Rev. Harris told his
congregation that no Negro could
be a good Christian and vote DEM
ocratic.
Well, if this be true, there should
be a great revival all over the
United States to convert all the

Well, maybe the Rev. should do

To the Negro
Voters of
Minnesota

A great liberal victory has been
won. Minnesota has shown all
America that coordination of all
liberal political forces is a thing
capable of accomplishment. In this
state victory you have played a
most commendable part. It has
been appreciated. There now re-
mains one equally important task
to be done. Let us cement our as
ISOLATION with the Farmer-Labor
party and this great liberal move
ment by taking an even more active
part in this program which brooks
no prejudice in its ranks-no
prejudice of race, creed, class, or
color. We are welcome. DO NOT
LET THIS OPPORTUNITY SLIP.
The greatest political revolution
since the Reformation is now in the
making. That the era of human
rights is at hand is evident in the
overwhelming victory of liberal
forces everywhere. We have proved
that we too are cognizant of the
benefits of this movement. Let us
remain cognizant, vigilant, and on
the job.
On behalf of all those among us
who have led in this fight regard
less of what faction with whom
they might be associated we
thank you all most cordially and
say, '1et this be OUR new era,
too"
And let this part we played for
ever stand as monument to our
sense of appreciation, our sense of
judgment, and our ability to make
liars out of those prophets" who
say we can be bought and delivered
into any party's political temples
who have the price!

of contagious diseases. 1t analyses
the epidemics that have occurred
during mans civilization with an
attempt to find the cause. Then q
plan is prepared to prevent these
occurrences or to mitigate the eff
fects of them. AS result we do
not have the plaques that kill off
millions Of people and which have
ragged undated to cease only after
having spent its force in wholesale
death.
Due to alertness of public health
work by trained men and women
today, we are certain that there
will be no widespread deaths be-
cause of diphtheria and smallpox.
These are two diseases which can
be kept under control. We have
not succeeded in eradicating them
because the method used is not fol-
lowed conscientiously by the peo-
pie, as a whole, and because, if it
were followed scrupulously, there
is something about the human body
that does not allow US to predict
the same action in all cases. In
other words, so far as the last
statement is concerned, that which
is effective in helping the great
group of humanity will fall short
for a small group. But there is no
reason to discard the method be-
cause it is not over 80 per cent
useful.
The present use of vaccination
for smallpox and incubation for
diphtheria prevention is the best
that can be offered the public.
Here and there it may be unsuc-
cessful, or even have an untoward
effect, but that is Of minor concern
where millions are benefited. Con-
tinued studies are being made to
make disease prevention universal.
This, of course, requires time and
patience.
If you have not insisted on i'm
munization of yourself and children
against these diseases you are tax
ing a needless chance with your
life and also you are endangering
the life of others whom you will
infect if you contract them.

HERE and
THERE
By W. NJ. Smith

The Minneapolis Tribune on
election day had this to say in an
editorial comment anent the cleo
ton:
Today more than 40,0O0,OOO
Americans will exercise that right.
As free men and women, they are
privileged to take their part in
determining the course of govern
ment. They will make their deci-
sion on many vital issues and on
many candidates., and wherever
victory rests, the verdict of the
people will be final. 1t will be
recognized and respected for what
it is, an expression of the popular
will in which all have had an equal
opportunity to participate.
Fortunately it is true that, while
many thousands of our people still
in possession of the inestimable
privilege of selecting those who
shall govern, motivated by the ne
cessities of the moment, voted for
the continuance of the bread and
butter policies of the current ad-
ministration, many other thou
sands, more thoughtful and more
deeply concerned, taking the long
view realize very keenly that to
them and their people can come no
surcease of present ills until those
prescribed millions are included in
the priceless right to a voice in
their government. They, too, in
overwhelming numbers, voted to
sustain the present existing au-
thority, with a mental reservation,
choosing the lesser of two evils, to
work with heart, mind and soul for
a larger reward than can come
from WPA allotments, valuable as
these are conceded to be. The
President and his congress will be
importuned many times in the
coming four years to institute that
justice, the lack of which threatens
not alone the material prosperity
but the spiritual life of all America.
The tenor of that appeal is well
expressed by Robert L. Vann, edi-
tor of the Pittsburgh Courier, in a
front-page editorial last week in
which he says among other things:
"Out of victory comes the next step
the step admittedly for the vic
torious-a step toward better life
for the black people in these Unit
ed States. The victorious cannot
escape that grave responsibility.
The party that won at the polls
must face the plain duty of keep
ing faith with the people-all the
people"
All of us-yes, you and I, must
share that responsibility no matter
for whom we voted in the recent
election.
The black people of America can
not always subsist on government
work; nor forever remain objects
of community charity. An univer-
sal ballot will open up untold pos
sibilities.
Let us grid our loins for the fight
for this next great objective.

RED PERKINS
And His Original
DIXIE HANDLERS
Monday Night, November 18th

Red Perkins, with his years of
experience in theatres and ball
rooms, has become famous as a
director and entertainer. His unique
singing novelties , approximations
and ability to double on instru-
ments in each section of his band
has built an enviable reputation in
the field Of entertainment.
Mr.. Perkins was the first colored
director to introduce in the middle
west the brilliance of three from
bones and four saxophones. He also
was first to visualize that colored
orchestras must abandon brass and
fast tempos as ordinarily used by
them.
With his foresight of modern
music, he has made musical ar
rangements for the DIXIE RAM
BLERS, specializing in medium
tantalizing tempos with abundance
