FRANK L. TATE, MEMBER OF
THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY
REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE

DAYTON - The Rev. Frank L.
Tate was an active, loyal Repubii-
can. He thought deeply on politi-

group.

and the success of his ministry IN
building the community about the
Mount Olive Baptist Church in
Edgemont In men like Frank Il.
Tate, character survives; goodness
lives; love is immortal; and his hands
that helped are as holy as the lips
that prayed. Therefore, Be 1t Re
soled, That while we sorrow at his
passing, we shall take up the burden
he has laid down and carry it to full
frutation, as a tribute to match
less leader. Be II Further Resolved,
That a copy of these Resolutions be
sent to the family, and a copy writ
ten into the records Of Republican

sound odd to Northerners, who are
accustomed to getting service from
whomsoever offers it to the public,
but to the South, it is sound business
practice to be group conscious. 1t
pays dividends in many ways. 1t
serves to make the Southern whites
give way on many points, for they
do want and need business, no mat
ter who is spending the dollar. They
are willing to make concessions to
get the dollar. If they find the sales
resistance is increasing. for any rea-
son whatsoever, they are business
men enough to do the thing that will
break down the sales resistance. If
it means shattering some Of the
ancient racial myths, even they
gradually go by the board.
Harlem Leadership
There is war among the politicians
for leadership in Harlem. The fight
this ear centers in the Democratic
18th district, which is overwhelming
" colored, but is led by white
man. Negroes resent this, but in
Harlem there is apparently not
enough intelligence to overcome this
inequitable situation. In Chicago,
Negroes learned early no VITO man,
ipulate their political ches, and the
resrlt is a man in Congress, q State
Senator, and numerous other public
officials, elected by the people. In
Harlem, Negroes still seek the favor
of white men as individuals, TOO Sell
fish and too timid to get into rho
approved channels and wir on their
merits.
There are many factors in the
Harlem situatio making for division
and disorganization Ti;ere Is the
large foreign born element, seeking
place in many instances as a group
opposed to the native group; there
is the natural sloth among all the
colored voters; and there is the
apathy of those who knoy how and
what to do. The trouble is civic
pride is lacking, and nothing or little
! is being done to enrich this civic
background. When Mayor LaGuar-
dia come sto Harlem, he is gretted
not by our leading men and women
of substance, of real worth and
standing in the community from a
civic point of view, but BY others
who seem to gain his ear and favor
| by currying favor.
| What Harlem needs is leadership
born of battle; born of hard strug-
| gle among the people themselves.
Until Harlem gets that type of Lead
ership, white men will continue to
dominate and exploit them, politi-
cally. + lliss u i; ssgsi NJ

Senator Hugo Black

The nomination Of Senator Hugo
Black Of Alabama to the Supreme
Cou. by President Roosevelt will
doubtless cause grave concern among
colored citizens. Alabama, already
of world shame for its treatment of
the Seottsboro boys, with the full
and hearty approval Of the Supreme
Court Of Alabama, would hardly
get vote Of confidence from colored
citizens on any point which might
involves their civic rights.
On the other hand, it IS to be
noted that the senator has been
champion Of the Presidents wage
hour program all along, and if that
program is written into the laws of
the country, perhaps more benefits
will accrue to colored citizens, eco
nomically, than have come to them
for any decade.
Yet, we fail to endorse this
move. We most heartily deplore the
choice. We wish the President could
find some other man who would GEN
orally meet the approval of all citi-
zens, than this Alabamian.
European Travel
1t is pleasant to note from reports
coming from parties touring Europe
that American colored citizens are
thoroughly enjoying themselves
abroad. TO take a trip to Europe is
mark OF having scored personal
success at home. The money re-
CURED for the trip is above the
average amount required for plea
sure; and the cultural advantages te
be gained are unsurpassed.
It is encouraging to see that Mr.
Adolph Hodge Of Brooklyn is max
ing a success of his tourist agency
A school teacher by winter, Mr.
Hodge is a world traveller in sum
mer. He is now on his ninth tour
and already plans to 90 to Chins
and Japan next year.
When more Of our people see the
folly Of wasting their substance in
meaningless jaunts almost within
walking distance of home, and be-
gin TO get broad vision of what
lies beyond the turn in the road, our
race will be the better for it.
One reason colored people fear SC
easily is because what is out of theii
immediate sight is very largely un-
known, and they fear the unknown
What lies beyond the horizon is be-
coming Of interest to more and more
Of our group, and the more explorers
we develop, the sooner we will rid
ourselves of narrow provincialisms

TO the Editor Of the Forum.
The letter from Columbus in the
Forum, last week, relative 10 'eThe
amended civil rights law" is mis-
leading to the Forums many read
ers. In the first place, for more
than forty years the law has pro
hibited merchandising establishments
from discriminating against prospec-
tive customers because of color or
race The Ohio Supreme Court has
never upheld the lHarvey1 stores
action" in discriminating against a
woman of color and has never 'sug-
gested that the situation could be
corrected only thru legislation" as
stated in your Columbus letter Of
last week The law, from the very
beginning in 1894, has always cover
ed stores or other places for the
sale of merchandise and its penali-
ties have never been changed. As
we have taken occasion to say in the
past, we repeat. the only word Of
consequence added to the law by the
Keith Lawrence amendment was the
word air covering transportation
and treatment on air-lines. The at
