Radio Appeal

1t was stirring radio appeal for

Bishop r. H. Wright, Jr., over the
Columbia system from Cleveland, on
the wings Over Jordan" program,
June IL. Giving q clear, concise,
and brilliant historical and faetual
outline of the vast land that is
South Africa, the Bishop painted d
sympathetic picture Of the 7,000,0 900
Natives and 100000 whites. As
yet" he said, the Natives enjoy but
little OF the civilization Of South
Africa. They do not live inside these
magnificent cities except by special
permission, but live in locations from
one to dozen miles from the city
proper. They have been nationally
disfranchised, have no compulsory ed
ucatlon, and are at the bottom OF the
economic scale. They are about
where the American Negro was i'm
mediately after the Emancipation Of
the slaves--poor, illiterabe, unskilled,
with only a few educated laborers "
We Of the United States, sur
rounded by the most advanced civil
lization in the world, engrossed in
our protests for equal rights, are
ant to forget that things might be
much worse with us, and that we are
oniv fractional part Of the darker
peoples so blessed by the nearness
Of, and our participation in the
march Of progress. We sometimes
criticize our own ministers because
they do well their job of teaching the
people To be free Of heart and TO give.
But If we gave more to bstter causes,
we might do even better, We have
money far beyond what colored

Few Iiges are 50 rich IN yarl-

cd. Teacher Of pupils whose
tuition fec was 5 cents apiece,
lawyer, editor, poet, maker OF
songs that were in eyerybody,s $
mouth, consul who won the
confidence Of American naval
officers and commanded de-
tachment OF sailors in a Central
American revolution, politi-
clan with Roosevelt and Hard
ing, he was to become one OF
the foremost of Negro leaders.
His efforts to end lynching
once he came near being lyl--
ched-and his unfiagging zeal
as an officer Of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People are
enough to maintain his mem
ory.
But it is as the writer and
educator and fosterer Of writ
ers that was most noteworthy.
His autobiography, Along
This Way is full Of humor
and curious incident. His two
collections Of Negro Spirit
uals" give us the strange, inn
pressiye rhythm and music OF
these folk hymns or chants.
The titles Of some are poems.
The words paint the scene with
the vividness Of hallucination.
In Gods Trombones' he
translated into poetry the re-
ligious passion Of Negro
preachers.
There were roots Of bitter
ness in Johnson, but he had
good reason for qualification
and pride. Before his eyes and
in the course Of a few years he
saw men and women of his
race distinguish themselves III
all the arts. Actors, singers,
musicians, dancers, painters,
sculptors, poets, novelists won
their way To fame. All the
world danced to Negro music.

Yak. Browns Meet

Ed Porter's Yakima Browns,
travelling Negro baseball team, will
play the fast Renton Miners at
Renton Tuesday night, July II, at
8:15 p. m.
The Browns have played forty
two games since starting the sea-

games. They have covered Brit

California, West Nevada, Idaho,
Montana and Eastern Washington.
Brennan King, sensational pitch

of the Puget Sound League, has
been offered the opportunity to go
up according to manager Porter of
the Browns. 1t is likely that Bren-
nan will be signed about the mid
