An Echo
From Ny Den

pen IN hand, m%editating as II
were, there comes to my mind
a question of who is the great
est Negro in America today.
Without a doubt, my vote is
A. Phillip Randolph. During
my school life before embark
ing out into life's school, | re
call reading a. historical fact of
a great Negro known as Hanni
bal, a man who at the age of
Il declared that he would con
Iquer Rome, following through
wi in a conviction, he later
made history as one of tue
greatest military strategists of
ancient times. Standing as it
were at the foot of the Alps, a
barrier that was thought un
conquerable by man, SO much
so that his cohorts kept chant
ing cit can't be done" ut
can't be DONE" but Hannibal
stood on his conviction as the
rock of Gibraltar and cried ct
can be done' and with the en-
genuity of a genius, this great.
man made history by crossing
the Alps, and into the Plains
of Lombardy where he defeat
ed the Romans and 0he dream
of Hannibal became a reality.
Years later another great Ne
gro had a vision when ne saw
in the distance, a victory for
the workers and he set out TO
lead the Pullman porters out
of a chaos of poor pay and un
desirable working conditions IN
to the land of better pay and
improved working conditions.
Battling as it were against a
billion dollar corporation, his
path was all but rosy.
Many a day has found this
great man who was born in the
State of Florida, wondering
where his next meal was com
ing from, or if ne would be alb
lie to purchase clothes in which
to make the proper appearance
as he went about fighting the
battle of $4,000 Pullman port
ers and forgetting himself. As
false leaders all about him con
tinued to shout 1t can't be
done with a will to revolution
lie the economic condition Of
the Negro, this man among
men, cried out 1t can be done
and continued to fight ever at
the cost of personal sacrifices,
a cross current of opposition
and intrigue from without, and
betrayal of trust iwthin. lie
was abused, kritieized, but in
spite of it, all his spirit based
on the axiom that greater love
has no man, Than to lay Town
his life for his people, and hu
manity at large; and thus he
crossed the Alps of a modern
corporation to the plains of bet
ter conditions for the backbone
of the Pullman Company,
Known to the modernized world
as Pullman porters, and he
brought to them a victory m
lparralelled in the history of
u~nionism, a victory that meant
an increase to the Golfers of
Black America of 100000 a,
year.
Believing that the economic
tatus of any group is the basic
factor in their pursuit of hap
piness and knowing the battle
that this great stalwart has
waged for its betterment with
an unselfish spirit, I last a big
vote for him as the greatest
Negro of modern time, A. Phil
ip Randolph.

NEW GARNER HAT
T0FEATUREPARTY
Vice President "Coronation''
Planned at Junket of
Press Club.

The second coronation" Of Vice
President Garner with new 1o-gal-
lon Texas sombrero will feature the
annual Anchors Aweigh Party and
junket of the National Press Club to
Quantico May %.
Garner's original gift" sombrero,
the present of Anon Carter, Texas
newspaper publisher, disappeared from
the scene of base ball game at the
Anchors AWeigh affair two years ago
The Vice President turned it over to
. Marine after he donned shinguards,
chest protector and mask to offlciate
over the ball game. Movies of the
contest show the Marine holding the
Garner hat.
Subsequently, however, the Marine
turned it over to a stranger who
looked like a Congressman The
sombrero was seen no more. Investi-
CATION exonerated the Marine Corps
but ugly rumors continued to sift into
the Press Club.
All the rumors except one were
checked. The exception was the re-
port the Garner hat found its way to
the home of the Chief Justice of a
nearby State Rather than precipi-
tate interstate complications, the club
did not try to run it down.
Bascom N. TimmonS, Texas news
paper correspondent, was detailed by
the club on his visit to Texas with
President Roosevelt to obtain dupG-
cate of the original Garner l0-gallon
hat. He was to obtain the specifica-
tions from Carter, his employer. The
color was a delicate tone of light tan.
After Garner is crowned with his
new hat, there will be base ball
game between members of the 18th
Congress, captained by Representa-
tive Mcmillan of South Carolina, and
managed by House Sergeant
Kenneth Romney, and the press gall
leries, led by Louis E. (Babe) Whyte
and Bill Donaldson, superintendent OF
the House Press Gallery. The game
will be limited to an hour and half
Press Club members and their guests
will arrive at Quantico In the after

the court there was no new evidence
to offer in the "date-on-a-bet" shoot
ing since Mrs. Abernathy was con-
victed last Fall by jury which recon-
mended that she serve five years in

 a knowledge of feminine psychology, 1t now appears that he really would make q bang-up Advisor to the Lovelorn.
 Not that there was anything particularly startling in what he said "Men and women like to live together and will" We knew or at least suspected that, "Women should embody the eter- nal feminine because that never falls to attract men," We know that, too. The manllcr man and the womanlier . woman the better they get along in their life and work" That sounds familiar,
 But 1t Is interesting to believe that in this modern age even Q dictator must sec women as they are -- live, warm human beings with thoughts and codes peculiar ly their own.
 And Hitler's talk Is interesting too-So far as we American wonn- en are concerned - in the picture 1t gives us of today's German women. Most of us have wor- dered how German women have reacted to their social slavery" We have imagined them as being too busy saving scraps, having ba- bies, and sharing work equally with men to have as fluffy"

WOMAN,S REALM -
Y1AKENtlNIB
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Let us teach children moral cour- age. There is a sorry lack of 1t today, Q tendency to weigh facts and escape consequences.
 When say "moral courage" I mean the directness exemplified in the cherry tree incident. 1T did 1t, father" has more in 1t than meets the eye.
 Fear, the Coward Maker
 It Is not merely confession; 1t is marching up to @ situation with out fear. Fear Is the basis of all moral cowardice. It is walking on the other side of the street to avoid the man to whom one owes money, It is fear to make up ones mind about Q job, and to drift along hop ing for something better. It is the fear of what people will think about us When we are doing the best we can, what do others matterp
 Children today, I believe, are per- plexed by the demands of Q com plex society. So arc parents. There Is only one answer that I can sec. Go back to Fundamentals and use bravery. Bravery means being frank and honest,
 Children, 1t seems to me, are los- ing moral courage.
 Moral courage means being hon. est with self, and acting true to convictions. It does not mean stub borness or prejudice. Every human being has some deep sense of right ness in himself. He cannot live with out knowing right from wrong In many ways. Conscience is ruled by training, but even if the training is poor, the adult picks up a knowl- edge of what is fair and what is not.
 Tho child from the average home knows his values pretty well. But he is afraid to use these values. He IS influenced by the opiinno of his friends, good or bad; he escapes from responsibility too often; he ex- poets approval of wrong acts. He Is not as brave.
 He is afraid, for some reason, of everything and everybody. He equivocates and hedges. Hc won't stand on his record. He lacks will power and is the tool of friend and enemy. He cannot resist, because he craves approval and gives way to pressure. This does not mean all young people, but too many of them. They are anxious to please every body, but not conscience.
 Morals Mean Honesty
 Moral courage is taught to young children by policy of honesty. It Is ingrained by the boy or girl learn ing to come and tell the truth. It is made part of fibre by the child having more faith in himself than tho social Influence of friends, and the courage to say "No," or "Yes." The fear-ridden child Is usually devious in his thinking. Tho spoiled child expects perpetual forgiveness. Somewhere between the two lies the answer. Moral courage. It means to act without fear, but 1t also means to act with good sense.

q 5-hour day c fair days work. In this community any ono who work ed only 2 hours Q day would bo con- sidered an idler, and l0-hour days arc tho usual thing.
 "I myself have just finished Q four months period of heavy work, both physical and mental, Of not less than l8 hours day, and some days i8 or 20 hours, six days Q week, then on Sundays l took it easy, doing only Ave to eight hours work.
 "Of course that pace would soon wear q man out, but 1t Is at least possible to maintain attention to work for more than seven hours 0 day"
 Oh, well, I was thinking of ordi- nary human beings.
 If labor-saVing machinery serves only to give more wealth and more leisure to those who already have moro than Is good for them, 1t iS of doubtful advantage to civilization. Rightfully applied, every new labor saving invention should be joyfully hailed by all workers as well as the parasites who prey upon the work CTS, for It's adoption should invari- ably tend to decrease the hours of labor and increase wages of labor.
 A goal well within sight today iS the Ave hour day and the five day week for all kinds of work.
 Any ono who has put In Ave hours of honest work, whether physical, mental or both, has done c good days work.
 When an individual Is working for himself, on some project or venture of his own, of course flc may enjoy putting in a phenomenal day or seV- eral Of them when circumstances require or invite it. Or In cmergen' cies an employe may work long hours overtime for a while. So may one worry along somehow on half the customary hours of sleep or per- haps without any sleep at all for Q night now and then. But these spurts or strains inevitably draw on ones reserve of vite and if some serious illness or accident happens when vite Is low the capacity to re- cover is not 50 good.
 My friend the Prodigy misinter- preted what I sought to teach.
 The millions of workers who put In all or nearly all day ct their work in factory, ofiice or shop and seldom have a chance to absorb any sun- shine, deserve better consideration for they are the backbone of the na- ton and their health and vitality determine the destiny of America. There is no reason why every such worker should not have half of each days sunshine to enjoy as he or she likes.
 Five hours is a good days work. I've tried 1t and know.
