Run Out of Harlem"

Run Out of Harlem"
"Unscrupulous white landlords

be run out of Harlem. Not only
are they racketeering on every
citizen in this community, but they
are also detrimental to every
honest Harlem merchant"
The source of the above quota.
ton, published on the first page
of 2. Harlem newspaper, under the
signature of the editor, is disclosed
in this second quotation from the
same article:
"The future of Harlem depend;
upon our cooperative efforts. Fully
aware of this, The Amsterdam
News is ready and anxious to heir
Harlemites get a better deal. sc
that we can progress instead of re-
trogress."
In our eighteen years of constants
observing the Harlem scene, this is
the first time we have ever seen
so open an appeal to intolerance
based solely on clor, and so di-
rect an assertion that what is OBJ
viously the police power will
usurped by others, in such highly
responsible quarters.
This writer, as a eitizeny, resi-
dent, voter, and business man of
Harlem is opposed to all unscrup-
ulous landlords, merchants, etc.
whether they may be white,
brown, yellow, or Negro, but we
certainly would not recommend
that anybody other than Police
Commissioner Valentine be the one
to run them out" Of Harlem.
One reason Harlem has an extra
force of mounted police on many
corners now is the direct result of
this same philosophy in action some
two years ago. Nearly a million
dellars in property damage came
fr0ra such a philosophy, ard il
that debacle, the innocent (bott
eolofed and Whitley suffered with
the guilty.
On the other hand, our studied
advice TO the Harlem public is to
watch those who advocate taking
matters in their own hands. What
are they doing about the condi-
tons they would improve? The
management of the newspaper
mentioned above broke all prece-
dents in Negro journalism when
it brought in a white man to head
up its editorial staff, over the
heads of Negro editors who had
been there for Years. They broke
journalistic presidents again wher
they brought in a white man tc
head tho advertising department
in the office.
But the management of that
newspaper has a variety of in
%terests. In another one of their
concerns they employ a white law
yer for work in Harlem, while
Harlem NEGRO lawyers are starv-
irg for work; and they employ
other white officials, while there
are colored officials of the same
class in Harlem who might do the
work.
Again we quote from the signed
front page article: eve have been
frozen out of job opportunities in
Harlem mainly because of the lack

ernor of Massachusetts, is flirting
with the Townsendites. The political
power of this new pressure group is
already stronger than the American
Legion and Labor factions combined.
Watch its power, continue to grow.
"Gray-Hair'i Line Rising.
Why? Because the rate of increase
of the population of the United States
is declining. This means that the per-
ccntage of "oldsteps" is mounting and
will continue to mount from now on.
In 1900 only 81 per centaof the popu-
lation was older than 65. In 1920 this
figure reached 4.9fper cent and in the
Plast216' years it4has jumped to- 85 per
cent. This percentage will continue to
mount very rapidly from now on. Fur
thermore, in respect. percentage
of voters-rather than of population
the proportion of people over 65 is
much greater. Moreover, under the
new wage and hour law it may be in
creasingly difficult for old people to
secure jobs 81 ~r's
In addition, to the vicious economic
aspects of the problem, there lis a
deeper implication. Honor thy father
and thy mother" is, one of the Ten
Commandments. Dumping parents on

ing to our national character There
is no question that our old folks

ward their own old age assistance are
entitled to such help. The idea of pen
sions for reward of service is spen-
did, but certainly not as reward for
difference or waste.
An Ultimatum to Washington.
+ Irrespective of this, one thing is
fundamental: If the additional bur-
den of old age assistance is to be
placed on industry, then industry
must be helped to bear it. 1t is no
more possible to get around certain
fundamental economic principles than
it is to set aside the multiplication
table: IF the OK is to be given an adj
ditional load he must be given adj
ditional food. If more efficiency is to
be expected from machinery, it must
be given additional charge. The high
er a building is to be built, the deep
er the foundation must be excavated.
Therefore, the voters ultimately must
decide whether they want higher and
more general old age pensions OF

industry.

in endorsing our own notes. Ultimate

Paradise For "POIs".
Politicians are asking 1uriously for
details of these pension plans. The
reason for such interest is obvious.
The old-age pension racket is made

Now, if ever l knew a moderate

Capper
He's liberal, as every ones aware.
He doesn't made the same splurge
over his liberality that such senators
as George w. Norris and William e.
Borah do, but he's just as much the
real article.
He has two specialties- agricul-

Now, when Secretary Wallace as
serts that Senator Capper, speaking
for Kansas farmerdom, doesn't know
what he's talking about, I have my
doubts of the secretary's accuracy.
Wallace's TWO-Price Plan.
Personally, Wallace's two-price
scheme puzzles me.
If you're comparatively in the s'up-
per brackets" as to income you're to
pay relatively high price for your
farm stuff.
If you're relatively in the Tower
brackets" you get discount.
Well, / think I'm in the relatively

How can it be decided? Surely not
on the issue of every scent purchase.
Wallace says it can, though. Capper
thinks not. I must say agree with.

CHRISTMAS PIES AND
CHRISTMAS LIES

Dedicated to All Kids

When Christmas comes around
Little folks are always happy
Snow lies glistenifg on the ground
Mama's busy. so is Papa.
Mama baking cakes and pies
Papa making up some cider
Both come nearer telling lies
Than any other time of the year.
For Papa tells the little ones
You'd better go to bed by Jimeny
When Mama gets through making
buns a
Old Kris will crawl right down the
chimney.
And leave a squealing teddy bear
And cap and gloves and skates
And doll that's got real human hair
The prettiest i'm all the states.
Then Mama she'll stand up and say
You children better mind
For children that will not mind
Ole Kris will never find.
So off to bed they start to toddle
Little Lem and Lew and Joe
And little Betty can hardly waddle
But off to bed they all hands go.
To dream Of Santa and his gifts
And Mama's buns and pies
And Papa's cider that seems to lift
Above all such old time lies.
