DR.. r. Ira Barnett. Executive

Service Club with a graphic talk
against vice al the regular din

There was one place of evil. in
a certain city which was operat-
ing wide open, DR.. Barnett said,
and in close proximity to a
church. The service clubs of that
area, with four churches backing
them up, put pressure behind the
district attorney and the place
was soon closed However. the
owners raised such fuss that all
other places in that area were
forced to be closed. This did not
lastslong, DR.. Barnett said, and all
opened, because the single mem
Der attacked used his influence to
cause a drastic closing of all and
the community was not ready for
such a blanket order.
In a certain High School, il was
discovered that fourteen girls be-
came mothers in one session.
When the several churches in the
community heard Of this. they
soon had the sVQman's Club IA
vestigating tkat particular ice
and an expose of conditions in
the dance halls Of the city follow
ed which was shocking indeed,

INSPIRATION

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Missouri school
case was, without question, a blow a.
gainst the whole jim-crow system
whereby the Negro, people are
denied adequate educational facilities,
particularly in the South. 1t is a VIC
tory for progress, which is all the more
precious because it had to be literally
wrung out of a Supreme Court with a
long vicious record against the Negro
people.
In the instant case Lloyd L. Gaines,
a young Negro student. applied for
admission to the state run University
of Missouri Law School, as he had eve-
ry right to do as citizen of the state.
The State officials denied his applica-
ton because he was a Negro. And the
Supreme Court, after the case had been
most commercially fought through by
the National Association for the Adj
vancement of Oolored People, ruled
that the States denial violated the 18th
Amendment. The far reaching impor-
lance of the decision can be seen from
the fact that in effect, it. outlaws a 81
milar and unconstitutional jim-drow
practice in some IL states in the South.

EDITORIAL
THE YEAR

The year 1888 ends with less prom
ises fulfilled than YVES expected when 1t
began. The world little thought it would
see so spectacular a rise OF force IN
international affairs, as was evidenced
by the bold absorption of Austria n
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Czechoslovakla
bv Hitler's Reich. There is genuine "a
larm among the nations today, fearing
a sudden war or another ruthless de-
mand for territory by a Dictator, which
was not evident last January l.
What 1899 will bring is speculative.
1t might bring a devastating war. If
peace continues, it will be a peace with
out peace or mind. For all nations are
arming as rapidly as they can, includ-
ing our own, and that means a war is
coming, maybe sooon, and maybe a lit
tie later.
For the Negro, the year has not
been especially significant. A big disap-
pointment came when the anti-lynch-
ing bill failed of passage. The ruthless
scourage of the Jews in Germany and
Italy has had its repercussions among
the Negroes here. Some philanthropic
funds once given to the promotion of
Negro welfare have, we are told, in
many instances, to shift for himself.
Relief continues to sap the vitality
of the race. The politicians virtually
claim to own us through the relief rolls,
and some of our readers openly advo-
cate making the dole as permanent as
possible for the group. Worst of all the
psychology of relief" which has grip
ped SO large a proportion of u peo-
pie is making them callous beggars at
heart.
In many respects this has been a
sad and disappointing year.

victories over the forces of barbarism
and oppression, and in their preserva-
ton lies the hope of mar as a free indi-
vidual.
'The Bills of Rights have been a.
bandoned in the totaliarian countries.
In Great Britain and in France there
has been complaint against unofficial
censorship. In our own America we
have seen free speech and free assembly
challenged-and upheld by the courts.
Seeing these things, we cannot fail to
realize that our own Bill of Rights, un-
der the protection of the Courts, is one
of the sole guarantee Of the liberties
of in the individual"
In this country, the Bill Of Rights
is the body of principles contained in
the first ten amendments to the Con-
stitution. And it is by all odds the most
vital section of that great document of
human freedom. The right to worship
as one desires-the rights of free speech
and free press-the right to petition,
the government for a redress of grie-
vances-the right of trial by jury. All
these and other rights without which
human freedom is an empty term, are
specified and guaranteed-the tenets
democracy, in firm, clear phases.

Through skillful advertising, pub
licity and promotion drives the chain
stores are winning the support of the
public. On January l, 1886 the Califor-
MIA canneries were glutted with some
$500 cans of peaches carried over from
the preceding year. With this huge in
yentory hanging over the market,
growers faced the prospect of a ruin
JUS SIS to $50 a ton price for their on
coming crop. They came to the chain
stores buyers for help. The chains stag
ed a sales drive on canned peaches in
some $4,000 retail outlets and the sur
plus was absorbed in four weeks. By
June there was a below normal inven-
tory and the 1886 peach crop found q
profitable $50 a ton market.

OF JEWS, CATHOLICS AND
NEGROES

That we are confronted with a
condition, call it a problem-if you de-
sire-in which the lest interest of Jews
Catholics and Negroes are involved,
such as discrimination in employment
and other fields, cannot truthfully be
denied. 1t is time for an unbiased, COM
%prehensive and discriminate study of
this condition-and a sane intelligent
working out of it.
Ones race and his races welfare
is, at all times, his first, and last and
only point of attainment and effort,
and in the service of this great object,
he allows neither the opposition of
friends-nor the treachery of foes to
deter. His is a strong will, allied to right
motives-and is as full of blessings as
a cringing disposition.
The bane of races has been in their
division, but things necessary for hu-
man welfare have always brought men
together in alliance for mutual benefit.
Our Gauss is not founded upon ra-
dicalism, but the welfare of heart and
mind-the highest courage of mans
nature. Our chief strength, our best
weapon and real power are to be found
in a coming together" "All at it
and always at it, will batter down the
most inflexible barriers of injustice and
i'll will. But the ball WILL not start of
itself and roll for us; we must make it
roll. One sincere attempt is worth a

stores. The $4,000 unaffiliated indepent
stores that sell food range from super
markets with an annual volume of 49,
100000 down to small stores with a
volume less than $1,000 a year.
Most intelligent excursion of the
chain store into the field of public re-
tons is its recent solution of temper
airy over production. The 1867
grapefruit crop was 80 per cent larger
than in any previous year. Runious
prices and a glutted market loomed.
A powerful promotion drive by a large
chain, moved 1,425 carloads in eight
weeks. This was three and a half times
their normal sales and helped to raise
shipping point prices 20 per cent. The
same formula has worked with canned
peaches, dried fruit mid winter lamb
and turkeys thus making thousands of
farmer friends for the chain stores.

THE GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM

"Scorned in many lands, assailed
even here, the Bills of Rights are the
final safeguard of the individual" is
the message contained in an article by
James Truslow Adams in the New York
Times Magazine.
"In a time when personal liberties
are being trampled under foot and
when personal vengeance is not only
condoned but encouraged by totali-
tartan leaders," writes this eminent
American historian, "the greatest de-
mocracies must look again and with
new concern to their Bills of Rights.

ed voluntary chains-groups of retail
ers banded together to gain the adyan-
tages of quantity buying and merchan-
dising counsel while retaining separate
ownership and management. These
voluntary chains are of two kinds; n
organized and directed by a progress
sive wholesaler; the other organized
by the store owners themselves who
jointly w the wholesale operation.
The corporate chains have appro-
ximately $4,000 stores with a total sales
volume of 1884, TOO, 900. The voluntary
chains have 10000 stores with a total
sales volume of $780, $1,000. The in
dependents number $4,000 stores with
a total sales volume of $3,526, 900, 900.

Should the consumer be permitted
to ave the 8 or 10 per cent advantage
that the chain grocery stores give him?
Certain politically powerful minority
groups believe that the chain store
bleeds the community, SO that should
be taxed out of existence. The chain
store problem is primarily a food re-
failing problem. The battle of food re-
failing used to be fought with prices,
merchandise and service, today it is
being fought with legislation, court in
functions and propaganda.
On one side are the corporate food
chains which want to stay in business
and make money; on the other side are
the unaffiliated independent retailers
plus the wholesalers who extend them
credit and supply them with warehouse
facilities. Occupying an equivocal posi-

chine age must be met by education.
This good news m from the
Center for Safety Education of New
York university. With it comes another
bit of information that should provoke
realthought. In a publication entitled,
"A new Milestone in Safety Education
the Center says:
Traffic accident statistics reveal
two age levels on which special stress
in safety must now be laid. In the period
from 1922 to 1897, the death rate for
children of school age decreased by ID
per cent. the rate for adult increased
bv IS per cent. This indicates that these
two age levels-adult and pr%e-school-
are vitality important and will be con-
sidered in studies conducted by the
Center" =
What has been accomplished in the
school classroom through safety edu-
cation can and will be repeated in the
home, on the streets and highways, in
shops and factory, while good work
goes on with increased momentum and
scope in our elementary and high
schools. Such is the goal of the Center
for Safety Education, which was es-
tablished last July under a grant by one
of the pioneers in the organized safety
movement, the National Conservation
Bureau of the Association of Casualty
and Surety Executives.
While the scope of the project ex-
tends over the whole field of safety
education, the primary purpose is to
train teachers to teach safety under
s~tandably, practically, thoroughly and
effectively. Shortly the nations acct
dent prevention forces will be rein
forced by increasing battalions of men
and women who have been trained to
teach safe living.
Thus America brings into play new
and more effective weapons against
that most ruthless of all public enemies

alike, a wastrel who costs us more than
$4,000, OOO, 900 annually, a manner who
