 The plan pleased each and every tot. Said one, "We'll have to roll a lot of monstrous snowballs, so we'd best get busy right away.
 "We'll make one of the forts right here and put the other one real near. When big snowballs start fiy- ing, right behind the forts we'll stay"
 Soon large snowballs were rolled along, and Scouty broke into song. "WeIl roll and roll and roll, ," he sang, "till we can roll no mores
 "Then we will pack with all our might until the two forts look just right. Real shortly we'll be ready for a very funny war"

Do not look at the Negro
His earthly problems are ended.
Instead look at the seven WHITE children who gaze att
this gruesome spectacle.

seeYnyearold girl on the right9
Is the bny foursyear-old on the left old enough, one wond-
ers, to comprehend the ~barbarsm her elders have perpetratedQ
Rubin Stacy the Negro, who was lynched at Fort Lauder
dale, Florida, on July 10, 1896, for Threatening and frighten-
ing a white woman suffered PHYSICAL torture for a few
short hours. But what psychological havoc is being wrought
in the minds OF the white children9 Into what kinds of citizens
will they grow up9 What kind Of America win they help to make
after being famiiarzed with such an inhuman, law-destroying
practice as lynehing2
The manacles, too, tell their own story. The Negro was
powerless in the hands of the law, but the law was just as pow
erless t porotect him from being lynehed. Since 1922 over one
half the lynched victims have been taken from legal custody.
Less than one percent of the lynehers have been punished, and
they very lightly. More than 5000 such instances of lynching
have occurred without any punishment whatever, establishing
beyond Goubt that federal legislation is necessary, as in the
case of kidnapping, to supplement state action.
What, you may ask, can YOU dof
In May 1895, a ~fllibuster in the United States Senate, led
by a small group of senator's. most of them from the states with
the worst lynching record, succeeded in side-tracking the COST
gan Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill. THIS bill will be brought up
again in the 1886 session of Congress.
l. Write to your Congressman and to the two United States
Senators from your state urging them to work assiduously and
vote for passage of the bill
:. Get the church, lodge or other fraternal organization,
social club, and whatever other groups you belong to to pass
resolutions urging Congressman and Senators from your state
to vote for the bill.
3. Write letters to your newspapers and magazines urg.

INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU KNOCK

For one reason or another it seems that every Negro who
takes an active part IN Negro welfare work in Omaha is subject
ed to various and numerous verbal attacks that for the most
part are wholly unwarranted.
During the past few wekes Mr.. Squires of the Urban
League has been the victim of a tongue lashng from friends or
foes. They charge that he is directing a project under the NYA
that would have paid an individual not employed around 800
a month. To make these accusations without invest eating the
facts has a serious effect. A little thought would save the en-
barrassment that goes with these attacks and too it pays
to be sure rather than sorry.
The whispering campaigns that are constantly being launch
ed against those who hold prominent positions lessons the in
fuence of the group and it keeps the group from getting many
of the benefits that are %rightfully due. No United Front can
be presented by the colored population of Omaha and this is for
the advantage of the other groups. Our people are worn out
fighting each other and wasted their resources before the main
problem is reached. When it is reached there is no strength or

Birmingham "Slum
Clearance" Causes
Racial Dispute

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 1, "a.
N. P.) Declaring that there were
more whites unemployed who
could not be taken care of by the
relief commission, a petition was
filed by a committee of white
citizens with the city commission
Tuesday urging the same appro-
priation for a slum clearance
project for the whites as that APP
proved for Negroes.
The project in the Negro Sec
ton of the city is under way and
several hundred workers are be-
ing employed. According to the
petitioners, whites are in dire need
of better housing facilities, in fact
much more than Negroes who are
more accustomed to living in the
slum districts. They further aver
red that in ell fairness to the white
citizenry a similar project, or one
on one on a much larger scale,
should be launched Immediately
to remedy this condition among
whites.
A copy of the petition will be
sent to President Roosevelt, urg-
ing his approval of the project
commission.

A man, well known in the realm
of sport, fell in love with a young
lady of another religion. During
the courtship, religious differen-
ces seemed to have been forgotten
in the a~ll-absorbing revel of emo
tons. But when the day was set,
the bride insisted upon being mar
ried according to her faith" And
the ardor of affection suffered a
chill, temporarily, at least.
81 didn't know she took her re-
ligion seriously" the prospective
bridegroom complained.
She didn't. Had she done so, he
would have noticed it long before
the difficulty of choosing the off
ciating clergyman arose. In all
probability, she occasionally would
have mentioned the church serv-
ices she had attended, and spoken
of her religious convictions to him
who was or should have been wor-
thy of the condolences of her
heart, and he would have noticed
the fine restraint that true relig-
ion exercises when the intoxica-
tion of affection threatens to run
wild.
People who take their religion
seriously carry with them a re-
ligious atmosphere, not affected
tatious, but genuine as gold and
subtle as rare perfume.

This is a wise precaution and
failing to heed it many have suf-
fered serious loss. Literally one
should look, because he might leap
into a puddle of water, leap into
a deep pit, leap and alight on some
sharp thing which would cause
physical injury and great pain.
But the adage has a deeper sig
nifieance.
This warning has to do with
m kline investments, forming
friendships and alliance, selecting
companions, undertaking any en-
%terprise, launching any movement
and is against preciptancy in any
effort. It is of the same tenor as
the Bible caution about counting
the cost which means consider the
exigencies and the possibilities of
success.
Perhaps in no other connection
does this apply more aptly than
in that marital ventures. The
shameful divorce record is due
largely to this haste. There is the
greatest need that people look
before they leap into matrimony.

white varieties of the human race
as the "lesser broods without the
law" 'half devil, half child, whose
chief mission in life seems to be
to aggravate the white mans bur-
den" Whatever credit he accorded
the "lesser breeds" was secondary
and subordinate to the glory of the
white lord and master. "The
things that you learn from the
yellow and the brown will help
you a heap with the white"
kipling genuinely believed that
East is East and West is West
and v the twain will met"
If, however, he was willing, gen
erously or grudgingly, to concede
virtue and valor to the non.white
contestant, it was only to glorifv
the greater virtue and valor of the
white. He was wiling to make on
ly an individual exception in favor

To the Negro student of liter
allure, Kipling presents a tempta-
ton and a warning. His apt,
pointed, pictorial power of express
sion must be admired even by the
'1esser breeds" against whom he
directs his shafts, though they
smart while they smile.
The Negro student, in perusing
Kipling's works, must be ever on
his guard to appreciate and praise
that which is universally good and
separate it from that which Is
racially bad.
