Effective Complaints

HAMPSHIRE, Ill. P.-Several
weeks ago citizens complained there
were too many traffic law violations.
The Village Board hired c. w. Everts
as a special policeman to remedy
the situation. Yesterday the citi-
zens complained again. There were
too many arrests.
The Village Board fired Special
Policeman Everts, refunded fines
assessed against II villagers and
warned the regular marshal to con-
fine himself more to warning than
arrests.

REPRESENTATION

Dr. Lorenzo King, pastor OF the
great st. Marks NE Church, New
York City was an aspirant for a seat
in the congress of the US. in the Nov.
9Th election. He is said to have had the
backing of some of Harlem's leading
forces, where an interesting situation
with regard to the congressional race
developed.
DR.. King has been a stellar attrac-
ton for many years in the Methodist
Episcopal church and the fact that
such an outstanding character was
planning to expose the peoples cause in
congress fell with pleasant satisfaction
on the minds of colored citizens in
other sections of the country. A re-
preventative in congress is elected, first
OF all to represent his district, but all
representatives, whether in the house
or in the senate must interest them
selves in national issues as well. In the
case OF a Negro he is expected, even
by enemies of the Race to look out for
the Constitutional rights Of the Negro.
This Doctor King is not only supreme
ly able and willing to do, but he had
thrown the weight of his ability and
influence so much in favor of his dis
advantage people in the church of his
choice that his championing of their
cause kept him from getting some of
the "plums' that otherwise might have
been his. Any honor, power or emolu-
ment that might have given Doctor
King would have been richly deserved
and residents of Harlemas well as race
citizens in other parts of the country
would confidently look to him for full
representation along with the other
constituents of his district.
1t was inevitable that Harlem
should at some time have the courage
and the organization to attempt the
election of a Negro to congress. The
The Omaha guide., 1938-11-19

atoms and individuals which they make
it possible to marshall, the rights of
black Americans, so often trampled
upon, would have very limited protect
ion.
Politically, the Negro for decades
since his emancipation has been bound
to one party. The tradition of Abra-
ham Lincoln and the dread spectre of
southern domination of the opposition
political organization were sufficient
to keep him in that political groove.
But a change has come about. The
detection which during recent years
has caused Negro voters by the hum
dreds of thousands to change their po-
litical leanirgs was led by Negro news
papers. 1t is upon them that he must
depend for an evaluation of whatever
benefits the shift has brought. It is
his recent publications which must an
alyze the dangers inherent in the re-
lief program upon which sc many of
the race are compelled to depend. 1t is
these mediums which must point out
the wide variety of determinations and
inequalities which exist in standards
and quality of relief and federal aid
as dispensed in various sections.

THE VOTE

The close gubernatorial campaigns
in the states Of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York caused attention to be TO-
cused on the Negro vote, which proved
2 deciding factor in many localities.
Never before was the wisdom of divid-
ing our vote better demonstrated than
in the campaign that ended this week.
Prior to the advent of the New Deal
the Negroes had been overwhelmingly
supporters of the Republican party,
with the result that the COP has gotten
careless and taken their support for
granted. Then the bulk of the vote
shifted to the Democrats party on its
promise to end the depression. After
six years, Negroes as well as whites
have come to realize that there is no
p~anacea, no easy road to prosperity,
and this new attitude was reflected in
a more even distribution Of the Negro
vote between the two major parties.
We believe in the two party system
and the revitalized Republican party
as evidenced in this election will mean
q more vigorous campaign for the
presidency in 1910. And we think that
both parties will give more considera-
ton to the Negro in these pivotal states
in the next year and a half.

It was of course unfortunate hat
Dr.. King should be running against a
man like Gavagan, the sponsor in the
lower house of the anti-lynching bill.
Mr.. Gavagan has wrought we'll, ever
tho the bill did not pass. Negroes of
New York and elsewhere are grateful
for his service, which services were
rendered according to the wishes of
those who elected him. It is greatly to
be desired that there could be some
way to take advantage of the powers
of a nan like Doctor King without
seeming ungrateful to Nh. Gavagan.

EDITORIALS
NEGRO NEWSPAPERS

What are these vital factors In
life, of which Negroes must be made
aware and which would be lost sight
of were it not for the Negro news
paper?
First, their is the church; separate
organization and churches are the rule
in America. knowledge regarding the
far flung activities of the Negro
church, touching as it does every sec
ton of the country and reaching ven
into Africa, can be obtained only
through these special newspapers.
Second, Negro business; in particu-
lar fielos we have ventured into COM
merce. In insurance, for example,
there are some 80 accredited compan-
les, owned and controlled, differed and
stated by our racial group. These
companies employ 5000 people, have
insurance in force amounting to $780,
600, 900 and assets equalling 20 million
dollars. There are 4,701 retail bust
nesses owned and operated by this
group and scattered throughout the
north and south, whose sales for the
year aggregated $101, 146,043.
The publicity, encouragement and
support which makes these enterprises
possible, the education of their client
ele, so that enough racial interest will
be engendered to encourage the devel-
opement of such institutions, comes
principally from the Negro newspaper.
Third is the field of labor. The
greater proportion of Negro workers
are laborers. Faced by barriers erect
ed by organized labor, banned from
many unions on the basis of color, the
Negro faces the %insuperable task Of
trying to carr a living in a world where
unemployment is rife and all but the
most meagre and mental opportunities
closed to him.
He turns to his newspapers in an
attempt to find information upon these
questions which face him. The most
effective method through which the
Negro public is enabled to know of in
stances of gross discrimination against
the race or of violations of constitu-
tional rights which occur in various
sections of the country but which af-
feet the group as a whole, is through
its newspaper. Without these organs
of information and were it not for the
united action on the part of organic

men an0 women have within them ca
pacities for a great business. Negro
business needs more educated and
highly trained people, people that are
capable of developing a high degree of
business efficiency. 1t is through com
petition and business efficiency that
Negro business will find its way into
the larger field of national competition.
The following will indicate the de-
gree to which the Negro market for
chemical products has been and may
be developed.
1t is estimated that Colored people
The Omaha guide., 1938-11-19

Each year the schools and colleges
throughout the country turn out hun
dre6s of young colored men and women
that have been trained in the chemical
and allied sciences. Many of these
people have tried in vain to secure jobs
in industry and business in their chos-
en- fields. The Negro market offers
many great and varied opportunities
to people of their training and quail
fications in the manufacture, retailing
and merchandising of chemical pro-
ducts.

-
Furthermore, HitIer's bloodless at
talnnent OF Sudeten Czechoslovakia is
certainly one OF the greatest triumphs
OF what might be termed militant dlp-
lomacy, III the history OF the modern
world. No military authorities think
that Germany could have won had Engrt
land ana France held to their treati
and gone to war. But Hitler interppe-
tiers close to the situation say, deter
mined upon a great gamble. He knew
that France and England dreaded war,
and We're Mortified at the prospect of
what a great air attack would do to
their cities. He knew that a large seq
ment of their population agreed with
the Dalaaier-C Chamberlain policy of
peace at any price, and that those who
wanted to take a stronger line, such as
Eden were apparently in the minority.
And SO he came logically to the conclu-
sion that if he stuck to his demands
without compromise, the French and
British would talk a great deal, would
make threats-but also, when the dead
line neared, would capitulate. The
great gamble won. The Fuehrer ha0
guessed right.
1t is of the highest significance that
at the final meeting between Hitler, his
ally Mussolini, Daladier and Chamber
lam, Germany got practically every
thing she misunderstanding the de-
mands that, a few days earlier, Eng
land and France had SAID they would
not grant. The French and British
ministers left Munich after approving
a plan that gave to Germany some of
the richest parts of Czechoslovakia and
left the little republic virtually indie
feasible from a military point of view.
And the next day Hitler, with his con-
fidence at its apex, said that he would
support the demands of Hungary and
Poland for other Czech areas- and
there was no important protest.
What has been the response to all
this? There is one school in this coun-
try which praises the French British
concessions. But it is a small school,
and the great bulk Of commentators an0
newspapers have been bitter in their
denunciaeion of what they term a sell
out" to the dictator that will inevitably
breed more serious troubles later on.
Washington correspondents say that
no one high in our state department
believes Hitler's statement before
during the Saar basin controversy, for
instance-and has always broken his
work. The general expert feeling is
that this is just the beginning-that he
will let a certain amount of time
elapse, an0 then turn his attention to
other desired areas, sue has the rich
Ukraine land possibly, Alsace-Lorraine
with its great deposits of coal and iron
two essential materials the Reich al
most entirely lacks a present.
