Timely Topics

Youth AND Mr.. A Phillips
BUSINESS Randolph, speak
ing at Mt. Zion Baptist Church
Sunday night, told the huge gath
ering some very interesting and
important things. Mr.. Randolph
is today, the greatest Negro man
in the country and speaks with
authority on trades unions and CO.
operative movements. Since the
beginning of the depression the
cooperative movement has gained
momentum in America, and not a
few of the many cooperatives now
in existence have been established
by Negroes. For the Negro is to-
day, more than ever before, cog
infant of the fact that jobs for
the Negro unemployed, which is
the answer to our great economic
problem, must be created and
maintained by Negroes.
The Negro youth of today real
ICES that getting a job is thing
of the past. The universities and
vocational training schools are
grinding out hundreds of gradu
ates annually who, unless they
make" a job or go into business,
will soon be marching in the great
army of the unemployed Real
izing this, Negro youth is becom-
ing actively interested in coopera-
tive movements, and also grasp
ing every opportunity to go into
business.
The latest business to be Great
ed by local Negroes is the estab-
lishnent of a first class chicken
shack by Mr. and Mrs Munro
Wilson, popular in youth circles
of Seattle. Perhaps the young cou-
Pile are not considered pioneers,
nor will their venture be referrel
to as big business" However, it
is indicative of Negro youths de-
termination to solve the economic
problem, not by WPA and numer-
Gus other governmental agencies,
but by taking advantage of every
day opportunities. We doff our
hats to the wide awake youth of
today who realize that Jobs are
made-not found"
A MANS Undoubtedly most of
WORD us have, on occasion,
said my word is as good as my
bond" but there are very few of
us who have had others make this
statement in our behalf. In our

make this an interesting feature,
believe that here is as good a place
as any to bring to an end a fea-
ture which has pleased many and
displeased many more. OF course
/ am not laboring under the i'm
preston that it is possible for a
columnist to please every reader,
for even newspaper men are hui
man. However, this column be-
ing of no particular value to the
paper, and at the same time being
the source of many worries to the
writer it is almost a pleasure for
me to write Farewell to Col
umn."
Although the accounts of hap
penings that appear between the
columns of daily and weekly news
papers may seem trivial, we who
pound the pavement in search of
the unusual and then put these
findings on paper are actually re-
cording history. AS the writing
of the Ten Commandments became
history to be read until the end of
the world, so viii our humble eff
forts be reviewed for generations
"a
the ancient Egyptians building the
pyramids, or the Italian sculptor
who, with hammer and chisel, car
we'd history in the stones from the
earth. What the ancients accom-
phshed hundreds of years ago is
still a source of wonderment for
even the modern world - for what
they did - was done right. Just
so, must newspaper man do the
job right.
To continue to write this fea-
ture would mean that I would be
forced to neglect some of my 9TH
er duties with this newspaper The
job of checking up on the choice
morsels of scandal that frequently
appeared in this space requires
more time than the feature is
worth.
Next week the column Digest
ing the News" will be brought ov-
er from page one to take the place
Of this feature. But before sign
ing off, I would like to thank all
those who have contributed to my
humble efforts. The many letters
and phone calls, the boosts and the
knocks, all have been most helpful.
So, It'll we write again in our
neighbor column, this is your can
did correspondent who has just
learned that no man can run his
own business as successfully as his
critics whose own affairs could use
all their brain power.

any other nationality that has en-
braced the catholic faith? If this
be true we can believe there must
be quite a building boom in Port
land. That, of course, is a pun,
because we know the answer to
the question. AS we see it, the
Chapel of the Little Flower is
not only for the convenience of CO.
lored catholics, but for the con-
venience of the Catholic Church
in Portland bent upon segregation
of its Negro followers.
We suppose we shouldn't get all
steamed up over the action of the
Catholic Church. We suppose the
colored Catholics of Portland
would rather worship alone than
with their white brother, or they
wouldn't have sanctioned the Cha
pei of The Little Flower.
We suppose we shall always be
wondering what difference it
makes whether a Christians skin
is white or black. We always
figured the ultimate goal of Chris
tianity was to bring about the
Kingdom of Goodness on earth in
the hearts of men, but we haven't
figured what difference it makes
whether the heart is in a black
body or a white one. We suppose
we never will.

Letters To
The Editor
A Letter From
W. E. Handy
Dear Friend:

Dear Friend:
The week of October ! to will
long be remembered by New York
ers for the greatest Festival of
American Music ever presented
This was under the auspices of the
American Society of Composers
Authors and Publishers, which &C.
LIBERATED its Silver Jubilee glorious
ly
The American Society has a
membership of approximately 1900
of which 90 are Negro composers,
as you will note by programs and
comments enclosed. I feel ex-
tremely honored because of the
fact that was one of the five
committeeman coordinating and
presenting this program.
This was a tremendous under
taking which caused me to fall be-
hind in my correspondence. There
fore, am taking this method OF
catching up with it, meanwhile
letting you know that I am still
batting an average of 1000.
Now with this over, we turn our
attention to a suitable memorial
for the late James Bland, writer
of Garry Me Back to Ole Vir-
ginny,"- who lies in an unmarked
grave in Philadelphia. On Octo-
Der %, his remains will be re-
/ inferred in the beautiful Rolling
Green Memorial Cemetery where
a singing tower will be erected to
his memory.
The 1899 Worlds Fair will close
October 81 and I may have a
chance to get away for a short va
cation since this Fair has brought
visitors not only to our establish
ment, but to my home where
have had the pleasure of entertain
ing old friends all summer, which
again accounts for neglected cor
respondence.
You know I have stood for the
best in American music all my
life and agree with Mayor La
Guardia that we have paid our
debt in full to European music and
hope that this recent demonstra-
ton will be an example to be fol-
lowed out in future programs
which have been over-studded with
non-American compositions.
With every good wish, I am
Very truly yours,
w. C. Handy.

daily life we are confronted with
many problems impossible to solve
on the spur of the moment, and the
only assurance we can give that
we win return to the task is our
word Nine times out of ten
we will break our word without
realizing that to do so is to weaken
our character.
No greater tribute can be paid
any man than to have said of him,
his word is as good as his bond"
Most of US have no other bond
than our given word. That is why
we should think before giving our
word, for we are as honest at

She Tells Ted

Dear Ted:
In answer to your question in
the last weeks issue of the Enter
prise, as to what I have done since
the affair MONTHS ago:
l, That affair has just been Sc
ven weeks ago;
2. Since that time have done
the following things: Cd I have
been to see Mayor Langlie who has
not only promised help but sup
ports the project to the fullest ~
l have been to a local music shop
where I have been able to get in
struments at half-price CD I have
been to several halls in town to
see if we could get one to have a
big benefit dance. But, the Ne
groes of Seattle have so conducted
themselves that no halls in our
district Except Faurot's) are OPP
en- to our race.
Now that the University has
started I do. not have the time to
spend that I should like to have.
All of my spare moments are spent
in furthering the band cause. I
repeat again, that the Negro peo-
pie of this city have not taken the
interest that they could and
SHOULD take in the youth, and
their efforts. 1 think that I have
done more than a part, and shall
continue to do so as long as I am

able. If more people would stop
knocking the band and help it in
stead, it would progress much fas-
ter.
Sincerely,
Marjorie Pitter,
Chairman, Seattle
Community Band.
Nice going, Miss Pitter. That's
what we call getting a smart"
guy told. Only the above informa-
ton should have been public know
ledge before you asked our COL
umnist to publicize our lack of
civic pride.

REPORTING TO you

Seattle is reputed to be the
cleanest city in the United States,
By day, she is a beautiful woman
clothed in spotless rainment, but
at night, while the city sleeps. one
half of Seattle discards all SEM
blance of purity, and that section
known as the main stem" be-
comes beautiful woman with soil
ed skirts.
Seattle is unique. By day it is
an inquisitive questioner who
knows you well enough to pry into
your most intimate affairs; by
night it becomes a cold, heartless
villain who wouldn't help a blind
man across a crowded intersection.
Seattle is unique. Cleaner than
the average metropolis and as dir
ty as the most of them. At night,
on one side, she hustles and bus
ties and whirls like some mad
spinning celestial sphere for the
pleasure of helpless satellites. She
feeds on sea food with lusty salts
faction and wipes greasy hands
and lips with soiled sleeves. She
drinks legitimate beer and bootleg
liquor at night and diets on aspirin
tablets by day. She solicits from
behind lace curtained windows in
a given section, her painted face
shining ghoulishly in the haze. Be
hind closed doors, hot love and
molten passion climax Illicit love
affairs.
She dresses her men ii hundred
dollar suits, twenty dollar hats and
twelve dollar shoes, rides them
around in two-graRd cars. Her men
live the lives of Pills at night and
make passes at school girls by
day.
She throws open the doors of
her denizens at night and grows
fatter and fatter on the bodies that
feed in them. She is a beautiful
woman at night, with soiled skirts.
No murder turks in her yawning
doorways, nor does she watch with
sardonic glee while the assassin s
knife is plunged in the writing
flesh of the unwary pedestrian.
She is unique. She will watch a
fight to the finish between two
enemies and grow blue in the
face if a policeman handles Gull
pitt roughly.
By day, one side of town walks
with head high, proud of it's re-
spectability. BY night it worships
at the shrine of this cold beauti-
full lady equally as proud of it's
nocturnal escapades in places of
amusement That entertain the
pleasure bent.
That is a picture of Seattle while
the city sleeps. 1t is picture no
one will ltry to change. It is a
picture of city-a beautiful wo-
man on one side, worshipped by
the other side that knows this pic
ture will always exist. One side
is content to let the other exist
unmolested. That side in what is
known as the main stem" district
is a beautiful woman with soiled
skirts. The other side is deter
mined that this beautiful woman
with the dirty skirt shall not be
loosed on the East End, disguised
as Club" for the betterment of
the conditions of the Negro.
The period at the end of the last
paragraph is the tx" that marks
the spot where this column used
to be. Although I have enjoyed
the work and the cooperation of
others in my humble efforts to

PIRATES AND
CONCHS PLAY
HERE SUNDAY
ONLY LEAGUE CONTEST:
AcEvEDo STARS AND BLUE
sox IN EXHIBITION AZ
FAIR IN OPENER
BY o. L. MILAN

Key West Conchs and Roadside
Pirates will clash at Trunbo
Field tomorrow afternoon in the
only Monroe County Baseball
Leagues contest.
The hustling Trojans, who were
scheduled to play the second
game with the Blue Sox, will
journey to Hollywood, where
they will do battle with All-Stars
of that city.
Acevedo Stars will play the Sox
an exhibition game in place OF
that scheduled affair.
First contest between the Stars
and Sox will begin at 100 o'clock,
and the nightcap between Pirates
and Conchs at $3.50 o'clock.
A victory for the Conchs means
the first-half schedule pennant
will 60 to last seasons champions
and the loop will windup as the
Trojans' second standing in the
league will have no chance to
overtake or tie the Conchs. On
the other hand if the Pirates
should upset the dope bucket and
win from Hamlin's bombarders,
then there is a possibility that
the remaining games must be
played in order to give the Tro-
jams chance of winning the first
half pennant or tying the Key
Westers. Conchs must lose all OF
their remaining games, while
Adams crew will be compelled
to win all of their scheduled con-
tests for his team to come out on
top.
Tomorrow's Pirate Conch frac-
as is going to be plenty hot with
possibly Joe House) Casa and
Puby (Specs) Carbonell being the
opposing pitchers.
In the first contest Armando
Acevedo's stars will go out for
sweet revenge against the two
defeats handed by the Sox's crew
Either Malgrat or Gates will
handle the pitching line, while
Esmond Albury win be on the
receiving end for the Stars. Man
ager Caraballo has not announced
his pitching selection.
