Place i'm Detroit,
Mich, In 1910

DETROIT - A gigantic jubilee
celebration marking the 18th Ami
yersary Of the freedom o. the
American Negro which will take
place in Detroit, Michigan, III l34o,
was officially launched this week az
Governor Frank Murphy Of Mlchi-
gan accepted the chairmanship Of
nationwide committee Friday. The
Jubilee which will assume the pro-
nortions of d Worlds Fair at cost
Of $500 900 which has been virtu
ally assured by the State and Fed
eral Governments, will be known a.
aSeyenty-Five Years Of Negro
Progress
The rise Of the American Negro
will be graphically protrayed IN ten
thousand exhibits that will represent
every aspect Of Negro progress IN
the last quarter of a century Ihe
historic celebration will be enhanced
by the meeting Of the sesauicen-
tennial Conference Of the African
Methodist Episcopal church in De-
troit at the same time.
The acceptance Of the chairman
ship Of the national committee by
the Honorable Frank Murphy last
week was the elimination of the
efforts of group of Detroit leaders
among whom are Dr. George Baber,
local chairman; Moses l.. Walker,
treasurer, Senator Charles q. Diggs,
Atty. Charles II Mahoney, John 81.
Dancy, Wilbur Woodson, the Rev
William II. peck, Atty. Harold Bled-
soc, +. G. Blount, Snow Grigsby,
Atty. Charles Roxborough, the Rev.
r.. +. Brady, Carlton Gaines, Louis
Emanuel Martin, the Rev. Horace
White, Lloyd Cofer, ]. +. Mccall,
the Rev ]. Il. Charleston, and the
Rev. ]. d Howell.
The national committee headed
By the Governor Of Michigan Will
include distinguished leaders of both
races throughout the nation and
each Of the forty-eight states Will
be represented in the exhibition.
With no parallel IN American his
tory, this jubilee is expected g at
tract d million visitors from all parts
Of the world. Detroit's geographical
position as to the gateway TO the
East and to the West of our country
won the support of the government
for this mammoth spectacle.
With the active cooperation Of
the Detroit Chamber Of Commerce
the Michigan Tourist Bureau, the
Convention Bureau and the Board
Of Education along with all state
agencies, the success Of this unpre-
cedented undertaking has been as
sured. It has been officially estimat-
ed that the exhibition will give en-
ployment to approximately five
thousand colored citizens.
The interest Of the State Of Mich
igan in the jubilee is indicated by
the following letter from Governor
Murphy:

e'The plan to hold an exhibition
devoted to rs years Of Negro free
dom and progress in Detroit in 1910
meets with my full and unqualified
approval.
No fair-minded American who
sincerely believes in the fundamental
principles Of our nattion-freedoa
and equal opportunity can deny
that the forward strides made by
the Negro since emancipation are
among the most eloquent examples
of what can be accomplished in a
free and liberal country.
His record is all the more inspir-
ing because it has been achieved in
the face of the obstacles born of
racial differences. For although as
a nation we are devoted to the ideal
of freedom and liberty for all re-
gardIess of race or creed, we still
have among US forms of discrimina
tion and some denial Of libe rt' 'es. In
time these will be lessened and we
may have hope that they will even
tually be eliminated, so that the
Negro may enjoy the fullest reali--
cation of his heritage under the
American system.
1t is entirely desirable that an at
tempt be made TO depict graphically
some Of his accomplishments in the
many and varied fields in which the
Negro is active Such an exhibition
would undoubtedly be revelation to
many, and am particularly glad
that II is to be held in the CITY Of
Detroil the Metropolis of our great
State of Mich igan. which has been.
and am sure will continue to be
fair in its treatment Of the Negro.

Where did you pick her up. Bert?"
I'm the theatrical district. She was
running around. shifting, and appar-
emily looking for her master"
Where's the dog now?"
In my car, across the street in a
parking lot"
How about the story? How much
are we going to run?
The old mans in a stew" Bert
told her. He doesn't want to get
scooped, yet he doesn't want The
Planet to be the one to drag Judge
Koomes into it. He's passed the buck,
says we must find Koomes and get the
low-down. We're working against
three-o'clock deadline."
Lets take a look at the dog"
They crossed the street to the park
ing lot. where Win surveyed a police
dog which. seeing her. made low,
whining noises of canine anxiety. Win
thrust the fingers of her right hand
through the narrow opening where the
glass had been rolled down. The
dog lunged forward eagerly, to sniff.
then turned away. disappointed.
lis that the one?" Grinnel asked.
1T looks like her." Win said. Lets
take quick run out to Judge Koomes'
house. Then we can be sure"
Wordlessly, Grinnel slid in behind

Win studied Grinnels stolid profile.

with a dog on the leash coming down
the corridor"
Il didw Win said. LET this dog
out, Bert. Let me take the leash and
see what she does"
Win took the leash Crinnel opened
the door of the automobile. The dog
jumped out. shifted the sidewalk in an
inquiring circle, then started for the
corner. straining against the leash.
Win unconsciously gravitated toward
the left curb. The dog pulled her to-
ward the center of the sidewalk. They
came to the street crossing. and Win
slowed as she noticed something pecu-
liar in the dogs manner. She couldn't
tell exactly what it was.
Suddenly she had an idea. Drive
around the corner to the boulevard.
Bert" she called. "I'llmeet you there"
Grinnel obediently started the car.
Win turned to the right, walked
rapidly to the through boulevard a
block away. The traffic was against
her. The dog promptly seated itself
on the curb. waited until the traffic
stopped. then lunged forward. Win
called her back, ran to where Bert
Grinnel had parked his car.
Quick, Bertr' she said, opening
the car door and coaxing the dog to
the rear seat.
What is it?" Grinnel asked. "If
this is the wrong dog, there's no use

Il mean that man was blind" Win
said emphatically. Because he lived
in state of perpetual darkness, he
didn't even know that the lights were
out. He walked down the corridor just
as he always did, and the dog with
him must have been 'Seeing-Eye'
dog - and that's what this dog is.
YOU'RE sure?" Grinnel asked.
Almost" she answered.

When he spoke, his voice held enthu-

Win thought That's swell, Baby!
You'll be star. Gosh, you should be a

She laughed. They test hundreds

They don't test hundreds of you"

NO" Win said shortly.
Grinnel parked his car in front of
Judge Koomes' residence. The porch

was dark.
Got leash?" Win asked, trying to
make her voice sound natural.
"Yes, l dug up harness and

Put the leash on" Win told him.

SOLE swMMIN HOLE" OPENS

The return of summer brings the
swimming season, and profound joy
to the boy heart. Also the girl heart
is greatly stirred. The "Ole swim
min hole" was once exclusively oc-
cupied by the boys, and the girls
were not wanted. Today both sexes
are good swimmers. and the girls
usually demand and get suitable ac-
commOdations of their own.
Few things in the experience Of
youth give so much joy as is found
in the swimming place. The young
people long for it by day. and dream
of it at night. The cool of the water
refreshes and invigorates them.
They splash like fish. and You can
hear their joyful shouts a mile
away.
The swimming place where young
people bathe without supervision
has been a scene of tragedy for
many. There are vacant chairs in
many homes because of such losses.
The boys who steal of alone without
experienced swimmers to watch
them should be given proper in
struction. Every youngster should
learn to swim, as one of the essen
tials of safety. Every town should
have a swimming place, where such
lessons can be given.

POLITICAL WAR is being waged
by Administration leaders upon
Democratic candidates for re-elec-
tion who have opposed the Presi-
dent. This is IAN old American
custom" but it has failed in the
past. The situation changes some
what, though, with the years, and we
find that Chairman Farley of the
Democratic Committee. 81 Secretary
Ickes, Harry Hopkins. James RoOse-
welt and other leaders, tell who to
purge" Unofficially John L. Lewis
has been trying his hand. He failed
in Pennsylvania, and now there is
considerable worry in National pO-
litical circles in Washington about
how much damage he may do TO
Democratic plans.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, who
led the Democratic revolt against
bill. speaks the opinion prevailing
in a large part of the Senate and
House that the interference from
Washington in state affairs by ma
tional leaders. will be resented by
the voters. and endanger the exist
ing power of the majority party in
Congress. help the third party head
ed by the LaFOllettes. and likely lose
the presidency for the Democrats in |
1910. This may seem like pessimism
to large part of the electorate of
the country. Only time will tell
whether Senator Wheeler has pro-
phesied the future correctly.
A hundred or more congressman
admit privately that they are in
danger of defeat this fall-and most
of them are supporters Of the new
deal.
Evidently the party purge" is part

cratic party. among whose leaders
there is a general understanding that
there must be an increase of "liber-
ais" to maintain the new deal and
offset the loss of membership of vO-

THE PRESIDENTS statement
that his reason for allowing the tax
bill to become a law without his
signature was because it violated IAN
important principle of taxation" was
promptly challenged.
Senator Pat Harrison is chairman
Of the Senate Committee that report
ed The tax bill as il was finally passed
by both branches Of Congress. The
Senate accepted the measure as it
came from the committee without Il
single Democratic vote being cast
against IT, AS matter Of fact there
was not even roll call. The
House approved il by more than 80
per cent of the Democratic members.
There was very plainly deter
mination on the part OF Congress to
relieve the small business men. and
national industries from the burdens
Of certain tax laws passed in the past
few years and which were held par
TALLY responsible for the develop
ment of the present depression. The
undistributed profits tax and the
capital-gains tax were Overhauled
and made more equitable for the
purpose of "dispelling fear and re-
storino cOnfidanpa and IN Give
some impetus TO the country in get
ting back on the road to recovery"
explained Senator Harrison.
Both branches of Congress are
overwhelmingly Democratic. and it
is therefore perfectly apparent that
the New Deal is split wide open on
the important principle of Ameri-
can taxation" Both the President
and members of the Democratic
party in Congress have stated their
desire to submit their differences
about the whole taxation question
to the people in the coming elections.
The prospect that the principle of
American taxation will become ma
tional issue is a good sign of the
times-because this country needs
more public questions to think about,
and not so much talk about the
qualities of individuals who are lead
ers in the Administration and the
Legislative bodies. Leaders, after
all, are just men and women like the
rest of us.
