TWO DANGEROUS SYMPTOMS
JEALOUSY and lNGRATITUDE

When Caesar was struck down at
the foot of Pompey's statue, he beheld
Brutus among his assassins and exclaim-
ed, ct tn Brute. Historians tells us that he
fought most braveIy until he saw the hand
of Brutus upIifted against him and then
he weakened and fell resigned and NOR
tally wounded. The ~treachery of a former
friend broke his heart and morale. When
a mans enemies become they of his house
hold his undoing is only a matter of time
and when a mans friends become his enc
mics he becomes helpless at defense for
they know his number.
One of the things that gives sting to
the dark deeds of an erstwhile friend is
the element of ingratitude that we find in
evitabIy there. That IsreaI proved ungrat-
full so often to the God that brought him
out of Egypt with a strong and mighty
hand, was as often the occasion of Divine
anger. The ingratitude of the chosen peo-
pile often moved God to the verge of

COMMITTEE OF SIX REPORTS

The most important third party con-
tribution yet made toward solving the
railroad problem is found in the exhaustive
thoroughly documented : report of the
committee of six which the President of
the United States appointed to study the
general transportation situation. 1t de-
serves the widest possible publicity.
1t recommends that the government
adopt a definite national transportation
policy providing for the fair, impartial re-
guIation of each and every mode of trans
pOrtati0n.
1t recommends revision of the present
rate-making rule, and the substitution of
a new, flexible rule adequate to meet cur
rent conditions,
1t recommends complete repeal of the
so called long and short haul clause of the
Transportation Act, an outmoded clause,
which has been extremely damaging to
the interests of shippers as well as the
railroads.
1t recommends a fair and reasonable
system of tolls for the commercial use of
certain inland waterways, and the elm
ination of the Inland Waterways Corpora
ton Board,--a tax suppoted government
undertaking which has proved to be an
expensive white elephant.
1t recommends the creation, by Con-
gress, of a new and independent Trans
portation Board, to be charged with the
duty of investigating and reporting con-
corning the relative economy and fitness
of existing modes of transportation, the
extent to which any are now subsidized,
and to suggest needed further legislation.
These are the high spots of this spIen-
did, dispassionate report. And certainly
they show how Congress can take quick,
definite steps in bringing order out of
the transportation chaos. The recommen-
dation that legislation be passed to really
bring about equality of regulation of all
carriers--raiI, highway, pipeline, air, and
Water--is of vital significance. And so is
the suggestion that our obsolete, depres-
sion-making rule governing Alternating
for the railroads be revised.
The enactment into law of some such
program as this would do far more than
save the railroads. 1t would lead to an i'm
mense amount of spending, investment,
employment and general industrial expan-
sion. 1t would heal one of the sorest spots
in the whole economic picture. And, if it
is to be effective, it must be done soon.

Surest to tread upon our finer feelings
This is not true in every case but the ex-
ceptlons prove the rule most conclusive
ly.
Negroes too often take every Kindness
shown them for granted and as M
thing ordinary. have seen too often INV
people befriended and have seen tine he-
frlended ones utterly Indifferent towards
the fortunes and feelings of those be-
frlendIng them. Not only is this my exper-
fence but it is the experience of every per-
son with whom talked on this matter
After thirty years of public life | SPEAK
truthfully in saying that the few knosRfs
times when the hand of injury was Iffesf

had befriended.

White woman who put a Negro qirf
through college and after ten years raj q
word has CONF from this girl. know OF
a Negro family who out of sympathy gave
a struggling Negro youth free board faF
four summers during his College career
and the youth has not as much as sent q
card of seasons greetings. In talking over
this matter with the late Maggie L. WaE-
ker some years ago, she too felt that in
gratitude was one of our besetting sins-
Moreover have known her to befrieEfz
those who had been ungratefuI to her and
that is the reason she stands out befure
me as one of the greatest souls of history
She deliberately put bread into the hanfk
that had been upIifted against her. Engrz-
titude is a malignant disease that must he
cured if we would not die.
Then there is its twin, jealousy. Me-
groes are Unfortunately jeoIous of one an
other. We do not want to see others forge
ahead. Who shall be greatest in the hng-
dom of Negro affairs is a question that IS
ever pressing. Who shall sit on the right
hand of popularity and become the GYM
osure OF all eyes and the object of all in
tentlonS is ever a pressing question in the
councils of the Negro race. In talking with
a wealthy southern white woman some
years ago learned that one of her great
problems VAS to keep down ~ieaiousleS
and chickering's among her dozen or more
Negro servants. Said she, these men and
women are as loyal to me as they can be
but il is becoming increasingly difficuzf
for me to keep them at peace with one an
other. They are jealous among themselves
to the extent that am thinking about GEL
ting white help.
This is not only true among those who
work in the household OF the white man
but among those of great degees. Degreef
jealousy is one Of the greatest threats 10
the future of the Negro race. While We are

 Tonight the Commercials may celebrate the winning of the ser ieS, or perhaps it will be the Hammons, or the two teams may be tied for first. Then again, all the teams may be tied. To com- plicate the picture, there has been no league decision as yet concerning the Nome-uAlaskan dispute. It is almost a case, after six weeks of play where any team can win the trophy.
 The games for tonight are Nome-Commercial and Alaskan Hammon clashes, and no doubt there will be big attendance of ball fans to rout for their favo- rite teams, tonight, especially, since everybody will want some thing to do and some place to go and enjoy themselves on Washington's Birthday today.

The Nome nugget., 1939-02-22

Today being Washington's Birthday, practically all business houses and offices, including the public schools, are celebrating the holiday by remaining closed. The radio Station is observing holiday hours, therefore the Mug get did not receive its usual quota of telegraph news this morn ing, but enough had been re- ceived yesterday, to make it pos sible for The Nome Nugget to get out its regular edition early today, thus giving US an oppor- tunity of taking nearly a half holiday.
