To the Northwest Enterprise,
The spirit of gratitude was
shown Mr.. Allen j. Butler and my

ever witness in a lifetime. We
were the honored guests of Rev.
and Mrs. j. M. Bacon and MEM
bers of the Christ Temple, 1245
Main ST., Wednesday, September
20, on the eve of Mr.. Buffers de-
parture to A.M.E. Zion Church
Conference in San Francisco. At
ter we were escorted to our seats
by the pastor and one of her es-
teemed officers, I was presented
with a lovely bouquet of the choic-
est flowers I have ever seen. At
ter enjoying a lovely dinner, Mr..
Butler was given many valuable
presents by the pastor and congre-
cation as a token of love, friend
ship, and esteem which they hold
for him. Long may the pastor
and members of the Christ Tenn
pie live to uphold the blood STAIN
ed banner of Jesus Christ.

HITLER SAVES WASHINGTON

It is regretable, Ossian Anderson Washington pulp
about purchase of American products in America.
It is equally regretabe that unwise Congress and
State Department made possible for foreign producers
to dump their cheap products in America in competition
with American industry and labor
Now that Herr Hitler and his submarines sinking

But, Mr. Anderson says is only temporary and
and this momentary boon cannot last He suggests that
the meantime Congress take action to correct its mistakes
by enactg legislation protect American products against
foreign invaders.
This would help end economic depression, help take

Ted Wood
REPORTING TO you

a guy who liked guitar music so
well he packed the instrument
around with him. He sat in the
store stunning a blues number.
He swung into a medley of popu-
lar numbers and settled on "Eas-
ter Bonnet" This woman, she
fell for the song. Said she wanted
him to play it at her funeral if
he happened to be around at the
time. He said sure" and forgot
about the whole thing.
Whether she had premonition
of death we don't know. The sto-
ny goes that she had diabetes and
when she found that the grim
reaper was about to bear down
she again asked that the song be
sung at her last rites. Even tho
the adventurous guitarist had long
since disappeared, the last request
was granted, for at the cemetery
the wavering voice of a Pentecos-
tai minister was lifted, and it is
said there was not a dry eye in
the crowd when his voice trailed
off on the last bar of Easter Bon
net"
That was more than a year ago,
but the woman still lives in the
image of her daughter. And the
minister who is known to hun
dreds as Bother Jack" is often
referred to as the man who sang
Easter Bonnet" for a woman
from Washington st.

the singer of songs. took voyage
to THAT bourne from which no
traveller returns" Sad hearts and
moistened eyes openly betrayed the
inward sorrow as his friends babe
him farewell. Farewell-the most
pathetic word ever spoken. Yet,
we shall meet again.
The organ prelude signalled the
last sad service. The quartette re-
minded one of when the leaves
turn red and fall" Rev. Jack Mel
son offered the service: We flour
ish as the leaves of the forest and

Wood delivered the eulogy for the
Owls, choosing for his subject their
motto: Love thy Neighbor"
The Owl chorus. responding "A
Band of Angels Coming After Me"
The service was closed by the
Elks.
To the Owls, we leave our or
chids. No finer Christian spirit
was ever shown than in seeing a
friend and brother given his last
rites.
Somebody did golden deed;
Somebody proved a friend in
deed;
Somebody sang a beautiful song;
Somebody smiled the whole day
long;
Somebody thought It's sweet to
live;
Somebody said, I'm glad to
give"
Somebody fought valiant fight;
Somebody lived to shield the right.
THAT SOMEBODY WAS THE
OWLS.

Sunday is Communion day and
probably the last service of this
type in which our present pastor
will officiate. He desires to serve
as many of his flock at this time
as possible, since he may not again
have the joy of this service with
you.
The Farewell Reception, Tues

and wife is well under way and
takes precedence over everything
else at the church, as Mrs. Hughes
leaves Wednesday the 4th for the
Quadrennial Convention of the Wo-

hence this will be her final good
bye. The church and community
now sense the value Of these fine

of a monster celebration. Come

A STORY FROM LIFE i.
This (such as it is) is the story
of woman, two men and song.
1t begins when Washington street
was in its hey-day, when the tap
tap-tapping on dimly lit windows
began at twilight and continued
It'll the clock on the Great North
ern station could be seen through
the early morning mist, when the
women who did the tapping sport
ed huge bankrolls from the sale of
their human wares. Such in brief
is the background of the woman in
this very corney story.
Her life was an open book, for
she, too, piled the trade of the win
dow Taper. The only person she
ever loved was her daughter. This
daughter was also the weak spot
of many a gent who was wont to
call on her mother. She was both
pretty and attractive and that is a
combination hard to beat. Fair of
face with wavy hair, pair of Sc
ductive brown eyes shaded by hea-
wy lashes and a body by Fisher, it
is said that she "sent" many a
man. Some of them haven't come
back yet.
But this story is about the mo-
Their and the two men with the
song thrown in just to make it
sound as if we had a plot. This
woman used to trade with a store
on 18th Ave. One day she met

Letter To Editor
Editor of the Enterprise:
Daar Sir.

Lear oil
1 wish to take issue with an ar
ticle recently printed in the News,
a new political paper. In this pa
per there was a denunciation of
those persons who would organize
non-partisan movements and an
implication that the Negro voters
have no political remedies in such
channels. Also, that such persons
are saboteurs or straddlebugs and
are enemies of the New Deal.
Since 1 am interested in such a
movement, 1 offer a defense of
such a movement after waiting
years with my people for the New
Deal to help the forgotten man, !"
the Negro.
Looking at this precarious situa-
ton in this light, 1 can safely say
after using my opponents sugges-
tive process, that of analysis, we
have the bare facts facing us, and
some of them, / will enumerate
here.
New Deal promises to the for
gotten man have as yet been I'M
fulfilled. The New Deal through
its complicated bureaus has not
benefited the great majority of
Negro masses existing in the
Southern states, but on the con-
trary has further lowered them to
an eleemosynary economy as con-
trasted with the white masses. Can
1t be said that the AAA, NRA,
FERA, WPA, was a New Deal
blessing for the unfortunate Ne
groes who are at the mercy of
avaricious southern barbarians
who openly violate Federal stat
utes and the constitution / have
in my possession an abstract of a
document pertaining to the reason
why certain Negro in this state
was refused certification to enlist
in the Federal Transient Camp.
The reason given was because the
man had Negro BLOOD this instru-
ment was signed brazenly by the
Case worker in charge.
In the labor movement which
has gathered strength through
New Deal encouragement there is
rampant discriminatory practices
upon Negro brothers" and whe-
Their the responsible leaders rea-
lie it or not, such deceit and big
otry will lead this movement into
oblivion as did the organization of
old, the knights of Labor.
When we look at the lynching
and general lawlessness in the
South aimed at the unfortunate
and unprotected Negro masses, we
naturally look for the Federal gov
eminent, which has a moral and
| legal right and duty to step in and
curtail this anarchy which is un-
dermining what semblance of de-
mocracy there is in this country.
The Fourteenth Amendment of the
constitution provides a remedy for
the curtailment of such lawless-
ness.
Therefore, for the above men,
toned salient points, I sincerely
think there is non-partisan ave-
nue. for Negroes, so as not to again
support such blackguards of demo-
cracy such as Senators Norris,
Johnson, Vandenberg, Lundeen,
Pepper, ct al.
In conclusion, the above men,
toned Senators are a few who
voted against the cloture, reme-
dy in congress to bring the Anti
Lynch Bill to a vote. Obviously
then, non-partison activities will
greatly aid us collectively as a
group more than the present poll
teal status quo.
The non-partisan movement at
the present time is sweeping the
country with renewed vigor and
enthusiasm.
