seclusion that has been his since

hand President Roosevelt a con-
serv.itive 'ha-ha, told you i. =
and an impertinent ''whatcha gol
ma do now" in relation to the case
of Mr.. Justice Black and the Su-
preme Court.
The titular head of the Grand
Old Party declared that if Mr..
Roosevelt were to take the Black
issue to the people during his in
vasion of the West, he would
take a licking" The Ex-Governor

''The President is now in the po-
sition of being unable to retreat
or to go forward without suffer-
ing serious losses in his influence
with the people and in his control
over Congress. hone he will put
the question of enlarging the SUI
preme Court up to the people. That
at least is the fair and democratic
thing to do. And, if he does, he'll
take a licking"

n. W. Enterprise
Commended For
Community Aid

A resolution of appreciation to
zelmar Lawrence, editor of the
Northwest Enterprise, was voted
by officers and directors of the
Community Football League at its
regular meeting recently for his
efforts in stirring up community
interest behind the Ubangi Black
Hawks, new representative of the
Negro community.
The spontaneous response of the
colored fans to their gridiron re-
representatives. was a source Of gra-
tification to the league and the
team is one that any district could
be justly proud of.
Interest in football this year in
the colored community has been
greatly enhanced by the promin-
ence of Homer Harris, Seattle boy
who is captain of the University
of Iowa team, and by Charlie Rus
sell, former Garfield flash, who is
playing for the University of
Washington.

Negro Congress
AT Philadelphia
"a QarI Brooks

The spirit Of John Brown. fa-
Their Of American abolitionists, and
Richard Allen, the great Negro
leader. win live again in Philadel-
phia, the cradle of American lib
erty. It is fitting and yet ironical
that in Philadelphia, birthplace Of
democracy IN America Except for
Negroes) that the Second National
Negro Congress VIII convene on
October 10, 16. and II. From
Maine and California, Florida and
Washington. delegates win come to
reaffIrm their faith in the found
ers of the constitution and to re-
assert that the inalienable rights
Of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, for the American peo-
pie, must also be extended to Ne
groes. The delegates win assem-
BILE ministers and trade unionists,
college professors and sharecrop-
pers, political leaders and youth
Negro and white each deternin-
ed that the fullest measure of de-
mocracy must become the common
property Of all Americans.
President Patterson of Tuskegee

Of The Negro and Land Owner
ship Thos. ]. Kennedy, heuten-
ant-governor of Pennsylvania, A.
Phillip Randolph, leading national
progressive and president of the
Brotherhood of Pullman Porters,
will each address the congress.
Fundamentally, the theme of their
addresses viii be: that America
must be made unsafe for lynch
ings and sharecroprins, disfran-
chisement and jiin-crowism; that
youth shall and must have The OPP
portunity for cultural develop
ment; that workers shall nave the
right to join ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
trolled trade unions of their own
choice to bargain collectively; and
that these basic American prin-
ciples must become operative for
the Negro people.
Is it strange, then, that we in
the Northwest feel so closely al
lied to such a movement? Are
not the traditions of the North
west-the struggle to insure and
enlarge economic and social JUS
tice-the very essence of the Ma
tional Negro Congress
It is in this spirit that we ask
all individuals and organizations
to respond to the call to build
local council of the National Ne
gro Congress. Let the final ans
wer be the concerted efforts of all
those forces that wish to preserve
and extend our democratic insti-
buttons.
