LATE SUMMER.

Though summer long delayeth
Her blue and golden boon,
Yet now at length she stayeth
Her wings above the noon;
She sets the waters dreaming
To murmurous leafy tones,
The weeded waters cleaning
Above the stepping-stones.
where fern and ivied willow
can DER the seward brook,
I read a volume mellow
A poets fairy-book
The scaward brook is narrow,
The hazel spans its pride,
And like a painted arrow
The kng-bird keeps the tide.

N. y MAYOR
KEEPS HIS
PROM MISE


NEW YORK;-7(C)-Mayor La
Guardia scored ten on the appoint
ment of Myles A. Paige as the first
colored magistrate of the city.
Nothing has pleased Harlem more.
The New York Age said in its
leading editorial headed "The
Mayor Keeps His Promise" when
Mayor LaGuardia was running for
election he campaigned on a lib
eral platform and on several occa-
sions stated that If elected he
would give the Negro more con-
sideration as a citizen and that Ne
groes would be appointed to posi-
lions in proportion to their voting
strength. One Of the positions
mentioned was that Harlem was
entitled to a Negro magistrate and
the then Candidate LaGuardia pro-
missed to see to it that one was ap-
pointed.
Last week the Mayor kept his
prediction promise by appointing
Myles A. Paige, an able and we'll
qualified young Negro lawyer to
a place on the Magistrates bench.
This appointment has been general
ly hailed by Negroes throughout
the city and country as eminently
fitting and one that will do much
to encourage Negroes to take more
interest in civic affairs"

Claude Tedford Tells How
to Write Letters of Protest

ton, is the person who has suf-
fered some slight or injustice and
feels that his right as a citizen
gives him the privilege to seek to
right things by comforting with
the proper authorities.
1t must be noted that much Of
the injustice or discrimination ex-
perienced by Negroes is individual
and not racial. Where this injustice
is individual, the party involved
should shoulder his own responsi-
bilities and not seek help too often
from self-appointed public rela-
tons expert.
Let us conclude that Mr.. Average
Citizen should be encouraged to
write in more against discrimina-
ton - not open letters, but let
ters direct to individuals most con-
cerned. Open letters only serve to
blow off a little steam and kick up
little dust in the public eye.
The letter that gets results is the
direct letter, written direct to
managers or heads of businesses
or institutions.
If street car motorman or con-
ductor fails TO give proper SER
vice, or becomes rude and gives in
suit. many persons go away steam
ing hot and remain so for a week
some never get over it-and think
such an employe is instructed to
give that kind of service by the
company. Consequently they fail
to write in.
They invariably try to make
race issue out of it. They fail to
realize that this type of employe
oft times is rude to white patrons.
ooh, what's the use!" they say.
"If 1 report 1t, nothing will be
done about it! They don't care
about colored trade no way .slE
The individual begins to feel sor-
ry for himself.

allas-(ANP)-As the old say
ing goes: discretion OF speech is
more than eloquence.
Negroes in America have long
been considered-in popular be-
lief-naturally adapted to oratory.
At any rate, the full tide Of racial
prejudice and discrimination has
definitely left is mark on the mino-
rity group. This mark has come
about through the exercises IF
their inalienable right of free
speech.
What has this done to the Negro
The affect has been a tendency
toward "tongue-lashing. and
striking back through freedom of
speech.
The question then comes to
mind Is this right of free speech
being used effectively? Is it being
wasted-blasted out?
The Art OF Letters
1t may be that in letter writing
Is found the answer. The volume
Of business done yearly by the post
office department shows that letter
writing is no lost art. Although
the telephone, telegraph, and the
radio have come into place as
speedier methods of communion
ton, letters are still being written.
OF course, there is some waste in
this medium OF letter writing. The
fan-mail craze has to be taken in
consideration. The movies and the
radio have been largely RESPONSE
bic for the wise use of fan mail.
Letters OF Protest
Although the Negro citizenry is
given to oyer-emphasis on protests,
this st-conscienceness can be
put to some good use.

sits down and pens letter of pro-
test to some individual OF institu-
