A ColDardiy Attack

The dynamiting OF the e.
Josef McLin residence and fu-
neral home last week was a
cowardly attempt to murder
innocent people. There were
six persons asleep in the house.
Mr. and Mrs. McLin and
daughter being directly over
the dynamite that was set I'M
der the front part Of the build
ing. The perpetrators Of TINS
act were ignorant, Negro-hat-
inc criminals. Their only
charge against McLin is that
he is an advisor Of the Dayton
Youth Movement and IS 4
fearless champion Of the rights
Of his race. He is an energetl,
business man and was q can
didate last year for the city
commission. Inexperience Of
the culprits in handling dyna
mite saved the McLin family
from instant death, as enough
dynamite was used to blow III
a city block.
Since the dynamiting OF his
home McLin has received
threatening letters stating that
the act will ne repeated. The
colored citizens of Dayton are
demanding That the cits pollcs
department and federal offlc
ers run down these criminals
and mete out To them their JUS
punishment.
The Dayton Youth Movemen'
has conducted its campaign y
an orderly and peaceful man
ner Not one overt act has been
committed Thus the young
men and women who are
members Of this group deserve
the support Of all fair minded
citizens regardless of race
They are strong, enefgelic
educated youths who demand
work rather than charity.
Give these youngsters your
support. Don't permit terror
ism or criticism Of weak-kneed
leaders deter you from dong
your duty as an American
citizen.

latter what the monetary induce
aent might be. We are glad that
ar. Robson is taking this position.
It is low type Of hamor that
makes buffoon Of man because
II his race. In fact it is really bully
ing, making fun Of man who can
not adequately defend himself
against sharp, Ill natured quips.
Race caricaturing consists in pic
turing fellow man as fool and
thereby violates Christ's injunction
that 'Whosoever shall say Thou
fool, shall be in danger Of hell fire.
We concede that much Of this hu-
NOR is we'll intended but at best it
rests upon the assumption that one
man is essentially superior to his
brother and therefore has the right
to- laugh at him, to make fool of
him. Nothing could be more ull--
Christion. Certainly the teaching of
the Church with regard to the equal
dignity and destiny Of all men, inn
| poses upon all Catholics obligations
, that may not be ignored. :.
Gradually one nationality after
the other has freed itself from this
cultural bondage. A few years
number Of pictures lampooning the
Irish appeared only to be driven off
the screen BY vigorous protests
from the offei ded people. The Irish
resented the picturing Of their wo-
menfolk as drunkards and scrub
women. The Negro should likewise
protest against being pictured as
lazy, conioal lot, From the time af
the settling Of the colonies the Me-
gro has worked too long and tire
lessly toward the development Of
this nation to allow anyone to Carl
cature him in this fashion ..."

Purge Leadership

We find much to our liking III the
commencement addresses delivered
in the South by Rev, Adam Powell,
Jr., Of New York. Speaking ut Shaw
university, and at Georgia State
college, the youthful Harlem mill
tant churchman got off some brilliant
epigrams, and incidentally some
sound racial philosophy,
THE hour for Negroes to move
head has long since struck he
i'd We've got too many Uncle
ems among our leaders. We've got
to streamline our race and come to
ealize that mass action is the most
.,owerful force on earth"
Again, this revolutionary propo-
sal was made: "But it is in the
1hurch itself that the Negroes great
est hope lies. 1t is through this
agency that Negroes may band to-
gether for mass action which will
bring them freedom from the shack
ess Of economic slavery "
And yet again: I'VE must stop
initiating other races and purge oua
leadership. We must stop trying TIC
he what we are not. We must de-
| velop race consciousness.
We hail Young Adam Powell foi
several reasons, among them, his
bold attack on the economic prob
lem confronting the Negro masses,
in spite of the fact that he is a
preacher; his unequivocal stand and
open advocacy Of unity within the
group, in spite of petty differences
which have long been used to block
/ mass action; and his outspoken
criticism of the present Negro lead
ership, which is altogether too timid
and too conservative to do the mass
es any real good.
Adam Powell's plan of action has
made real gains in Harlem, his
home city. Negroes are at work
| there where they never worked be-
fore. They are drawing good pay II
| jobs formerly held exclusively bs
whites. And yet there has been nc
bloodshed, and no unnecessary wild
| talk. On the contrary, there has
been determined, intelligent plan
ming and action, with marvellous
discipline among the rank and file.
| We need more leaders like Young
| Adam Powell, who are in positions
of power and are willing to forege
the frath of good living for real
service to the group.

Episcopacy two outstanding leaders

To The Graduate
OF 1888

Prior to 1900, and with the

regarded as a luxury. Int

carried with it a certain auto

SCISSOR might even receive Ms

An education like an auto was
regarded as being something
only for those with wealth.
The passing Of the years how
ever saw the gradual change
in this original concept, and II
the present stage of it's evolu-
ton educational training OF
this nature is considered q
matter Of necessity. No mat
ter how menial the task now, q
college education is a require
ment, no longer is this fact
limited only to the professional
fields. o.
In a democracy such as ours
where all tendency towards
creating a class system is dis
couraged everyone strives fol
an education and thousands
are graduated each year. The
end result is such an increase
in the numbers of educated
persons is a greater proper
ton Of applicants for each
position, and consequently
competition for jobs has IN
creased demand on limited
supply Of jobs has caused tbs
value of the job to rise and the
one who obtains the nositiof
now must pay for it with some
added individual merit. Ii
