An Echo
From Ny Den
BY S. E Gilbert

AS l sit here in my den with
pen in hand, meditating as it
were, there comes to my mind
one of the laws of psychology.
Kindness begets kindness
and thus the old Den Dweller
writes that the Omaha Negro.
1o,OOO strong, with a potential
buying power of $10,O0O.O 900
annually should become a prac-
tlcal psychologist by carrying
out this all important axiom of
psychology in the purchasing
and consumation of his daily
food-stuff. Investigate and find
out for yourself just what pack
ing plant employs the largest
number of Negroes, follow with
a similar probe of all other in
dustries that are engaged in the
producing communicating food
stuff and then after this shall
have been completed, sit down
with pen and paper in hand
compute the proportion of Ne
groes employed by the various
industries and pro-rate your
purchases accordingly.
For example, alphabetically,
should you find that a certain
packing industry employs more
in Omaha than another
then when you go to the mar
ket to buy bacon, ham or shout
der, call for the brand you have
found through your ~investiga-
ton stands for the firm who be-
in fair play and stands
on the square when it comes to
proportional employment of our
people. With the same econom-
ic yard stick measure the re-
turns coming from all food
stuff producers both national
and local. Thus, you shall be
carrying out the practical rule
psychology; Kindness be
gets kindness"

TEXAS ANNIVERSARY

Negro newspapers large and
small, are beginning to celebrate
their anniversaries with more
promptness and seriousness. 1t
perhaps is because they not on
ly have a deeper feeling toward
The press as a vital factor in
the evolution of the group, but
that they appreciate the com
mercial value Of the advertis-
ing which accrues through such
celebrations.
We are pleased to congratu-
late the Waco, Tex, Messenger
on Its fifth anniversary. The
larger view the press is taking
of Negro life and living is clear
~ and ~foreefully expressed in
The Messengers editorial, en-
titled "What Tho Messenger
Has Stood For" Editor L. j.
Rhone says: "This issue marks
the beginning Of the sixth year
of the publication of The Waco
Messenger. For five years it has
gone forward with definite OBJ
iectives in view, rendering its
best services to the people Of
Waco and Central Texas.
1.-THE Waco Messenger has
stood for the economic regen.
GRAFTON and industrial survival
of the colored people of Cen
trail Texas. 1t has urged that
eolored people themselves seek
economic outlets in developing
commercial and industrial en-
terprises while at the same time
strive to hold their own in the
fields of employment already
open to them.
"The Waco Messenger has
stood for q, free and u%nrestrict-
ed use of the ballot by colored
citizens. Though their right to
vote has been challenged To-
cally we have always cast our
GOT With individuals and or
ganizdtions leading the army
of the races defenders.
"The Waco Messenger has
stood for an equitable consid.
Grafton of colored citizens in all
civic matters. Waco's colored
population has not always been
treated fairly in the distribu.
tion of civic improvements. The
Waco Messenger has held that
our local government and agen.

cies should be both jealous and
watchful of the general welfare
of all the people. Under no cir.
eumstances should color blind
ness be permitted to offset The
working of civic righteousness.
'aThe Waco Messenger has
stood for interracial good will.
1t has refused to wave the red
flag even in the face of known
enemies among the white group.
To our mind interracial coop

as worthy of being handed
down to our children as a her
ltage fit for true American cit
liens. We do not believe that
American society will always
suffer from social ills based up
race prejudice. Unnatural
segregation of and discrimina-
tion against individuals in Am
erican society must cease. There
is now a growing sentiment of
the American masses against
certain universal practices that
victimized the Negro be-
cause of his color.
Finally, The Waco Messen-
ger has stood for a local leader
with vision. We have not
been satisfied with the selfish
individuals whose chickering's
and personal dislikes for each
other have damned colored Wa
co with stagnation. For Nfive
years the Waco Messenger has
stood on the house top and
aloud against the pages
of local history being turned
backward and it is a sad story
that few In high places have
given ear to our cry.
Forgetting our disappoint-
ments of the past and holding
fast to the memory of the things
which colored Waco and Cen
tral Texas have helped US ac-

who agree with us, come let

KELLY MILLER
SAYS
WHY NEGRO
FAIL TO
ATHLETES

v
letes on the basis of nationwide
and world wide competition
awakens a sense of pride in all
our breasts. W. are proud to
claim kinship with anyone who
achieves superb excellence in
any line Of distinction. To hold
the world record in any compe-
titive undertaking is surely an
achievement well worth brag-
ing about. When Jesse Owens
outruns the world every Ne
gro in the world feels a cor
responding uplift by virtue Of
his proves. Negro athletes
have achieved distinction espec-
tally in track and pole-vaulting
which are peculiarly academic
sports.
1t Is to be noted that super
Tor excellence Of Negro athletes
in the academic world is con-
fined mostly to those sports
which are dependent on per-
sonal and individual abilities
Where intimate social contacts
are involved, the colored stu
dent is rarely admitted on a
plain of fair competition. In
baseball, football, an aquatic
sports the Negro rarely ever
comes to the front for the sim
pie reason he is not given a
fair chance.
In the prize ring, the Negroes
success is most phenomenal.
The prize ring, however, does
not come within the purview Of
my present purvose because
such sports fall almost wholly
outside the scope Of the aca-
demie world. However, our col
leges are beginning to take cog
nizance of the Importance Of
cultiRating the manly art Of
self-defense. In case boxing and
fistieuffs should ever become a
part Of the academic program,
it is but natural hat Negro
students will shine forth most
brilliantly in this field of con
test.
We have but to mention the
names of Jesse Owens of Ohio
State Ulysses Peacock of Tenn
pie; Edward Tolan of Michi-
gan; Ralph Metcalfe of Mar
quette Ben Johnson of Column
bia; Arthur Thomas of Pitts
burgh; John Woodruff Of
Pittsburgh; David Albritton Of
California and Bavalle of Sou
thern California to illustrate
the extent to which American
colleges are developing super
Tor athletic talent IN Negro
youth. But, as we scan this list
of athletic celebrities we find
, that none of them r the pro-
duct of Negro colleges and uni
versities. Both candor and cur
iosity lead us to inquire from
what unfriendly cause does thus
obvious deficiency proceeds
During my deanship at How
ard University, | discovered a
young man of considerable ath-
letic power, but because of his
fondness for sports we had to
suspend him for infraction Of
rules. At a conference with the
dean of Chicago University
some time later, he apprized me
that he had recently enrolled
one of my former pupils who
was refleeting considerable ere.
dit upon the university for his
athletic ability. This young
man afterwards gained consid.
cradle repute in the athletic
world. but full credit was as,
signed to Chicago University
rather tina n to Howard.

Foreign and Domestic Com.
A. L found that the rooms were
all taken and the restaurants
IN the neighborhood overcrowd-
ed with eolored students from
nearby colleges and UNIVERSE
ties preliminary to participa-
ton IN the athletic meet at the
University Of Pennsylvania. No
single representative of of a col
ored institution scored any ere
ditable record at this athletic
meet.
Why is it that Negro schools
and colleges rarely or ever turn
out any worthwhile athletic
products. There are thousands
of young men in high schools
and colleges. Surely they pos
sess the inherent muscular and
phyhical capacities which col
ored boys in attendance at
white schools so strikingly ex-
hibit. Fisk, Atlanta, Lincoln
and Howard, with thousands of
Negro students are far outdis-
tanced in the athletic sports
by a handful of colored stu
dents from mixed schools and
colleges. Out of the same ma
terial white schools moke a SUI
perior product.
Development Of superior tai
ent, whether in athletics or in
SCHOLARSHIP, requires equipment,
facilities, discipline, surround
ings, atmosphere and spirit. As
a rule the colored colleges do
not supply the requisite of
stimulus and announcement.
The missionary founders of the
schools and colleges were so en-
crossed with the moral and
spiritual necessity of sayini the
soul that they displayed little
interest in the development of
the body. Much of the disinter-
ested attitude is inhereted by
the present day control of Ne
gro schools and colleges.
Athletic sports are fast be-
coming a rival to intellectual
interest in the great colleges
and institutions of America. The
Negro institutions lag behind,
both for laik of resources and
interest in this important phase
of college life. Athletics may be
compared to solid intellectual
achievement as gunpowder to
the cannon ball, whose explo-
sion andnoise announce and adj
vertise the more solid accom-
plishments of a purely academic
character.
Another cause which mill
tates against the success of ath-
leties in Negro schools is due
to the increasing number of fe.
males in the student body Col
lege athletics is mainly a mas
culine sport in which the fe-
male contingency constitutes
lookers-on and not participants
Negro colleges are confront
ed with not only inferior fac
i%lities, resources and spirit, but
are limited to inferior range oil
competition. They must com
pete among themselves, and are
not permitted to test their prov
ess In competition with white
rivalry. just as women coulc
hardly expect to attain a su
perior place In the world a
lage so long as they were cor
fined to convection with theil
own sex; just so the Negro viii
dag behind as long as his fielc
of competition is confined to his
own race.

The greatest Of contemporary
composers, In the estimation Of the
public, Rachmaninoff Is habitually
and unnecessarily reticent with his
own music. He has composed at
least two monumental sonataS but
never plays them. There are two
volumes Of his ''EtudeS Tableaux"
from which he rarely quotes, two
volumes Of ''Preludes," )" to which he
refers occasionally, more ''Etudes," |"
untitled, and sundry small pieces
and transcriptionS.
DUTY TO PUBLIC
Since he has developed highly
original keyboard art which he,
better than any one else-with the
possible exception Of Horowitz-is
qualified to define and illumine,
it would seem that he owes a duty
to the public, the student and to
his fellow-artiSts in which he Is
rerniSS.
Last nights audience had to be
content with his lovely little G
Major Prelude, and with the IA
nous old war horse in c sharp
minor and three transcriptions
played as encoreS. Otherwise he
concerned himself with the revival
of a scholarly and deeply poetic
page Of LiSzt-the Prelude after
Bach's Weeping, Plants, Sorrows,
Fears" with a sparkling revival of
the Bach Italian Concerto, with
standard Chopin, immature De-
busy, and more Of the exquisite
poetry Of LiSzt.
RARE PERFORMANCE
OF the Chopin group, the C
sharp minor Mazurka reached
that rarely attained goal in which
poetry, ryhthmic impulse and
fantasy seem to fuse and culmi-
nate. The c sharp minor
Scherzo, with revisions, premedi-
tated or otherwise, Of his own,
thundered and glittered and sang.
The familiar A flat Impromptu
was played at a pace which must
have baffled the plodderS, and
the Nocturne in F minor displayed
more Of the pianistic thunders
than Of wiStful song.
His way with the Suite Berger
masque of Debussy may have sur
prised any of the cult who still
remain. Yet it was correct except
that he began the minuet like a
scherzo, thus altering a delicate
moment beyond recognition. So,
too, his poetic approach to the
Voices Of the Woods" and Dance
Of the Gnomes" may have disap-
pointed those who expected the
conventional bravoura.
But s1rh as may have been sur
priSed or disappointed in any de-
tail were overruled by the thunder
Of applause that voiced the ap-
proval Of the multitude, and with
that verdict there need be no
quarrel. It was a great recital.
