THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE
That Southern Tradition

4n6t OOuLuSE0 1E6u1t1OW
The third term question as af-
fecting President Roosevelt has de-
veloped a well defined opposition
movement which has its origin in
Southern traditions, and the cause
for it is to be found in the liberal
ness and tolerance of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, Americas out
standing Commoners, more than in
natural aversion to a third term
for any President. The race ques-
ton is still an issue in the South
and will remain so until the Con-
stitution is given full force and
effect in all parts of our country
and every citizen equally protected
under its tenets. AS long as our
federal government winks at local
inequalities of the law in various
Southern states, fails to enforce
the Congressional representation
clause of the Constitution which
failure permits demagogues to be
elected to Congress, just so long
will there be a Southern tradition
to mar the ideals of true democ-
racy.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have both run counter to the ethics
of that Southern tradition and that
more than anything else accounts
for Southern opposition to a third
term for F. D. R. They fear that
another term for these Commoners
might upset their cherished ideals.
Maybe there are some grounds for
their fears, or would be if the
President should decide to accept
their challenge.-Buffalo IN. W

is BUSINESS GOING TO THE
DOGS?
The U. s. Steel Corporation, that
puny victim of the New Deal, had
a net income of $1,30O,OO0 for the
second quarter of 1889 contrasted|
with a loss of five million for the
second quarter of last year, accord
ing to the statement of Chairman
Stettinius, chairman of the Board
of Directors.
The Associated Press compilation
reveals that earnings of twenty
three steel makers increased to
more than twelve million dollars,
compared with a deficit of nine and
half millions for the correspond
ing period of 1888.
General Motors reports selling
$4,000 more cars in June of this
year than in June last year. Nine
manufacturers of building material
and equipment announced that they
had doubled their net profits in the
same period.
Still the assailants of the New
Deal insist that our country is
going to the dogs and that nothing
can save US from total economic
collapse but the election of a Re-
publican to the Presidency. u

o. P. Publicity Director.

It's birthday time againl
You would scarcely believe how
fast these days roll around once
they get started and once you get
past the danger point. The dan
ger point, of course, is the stop
ping point.
Each year as come to the
papers birthday find it necessary
to emphasize something entirely
different from all the other birth
days it has had.
With the passing of each twelve
month period / find something
new occupying the center of atten-
ton, something that chains the in
terest, as if heretofore it had not
existed.
When a newspaper lives to reach
it's fifth birthday it has overcome
most of it's initial difficulties.
No longer need it worry for
readers. It has them. They be-
come more particular, as they
should. The paper must strive
harder to satisfy those whom it
has taught to expect something
better with each passing year. Can
we do that? Yes we can. We
knew it would be expected from
us. We have prepared for it. We
are ready for the next step.
Speaking for the editor may /
say that so far as his. paper goes
l know his mind at least as well
as he knows it himself.
I know that so far as the small
er papers go he was never salts
fed with the most of them. Just
look over any one of a dozen of
them and you will see why.
And his resolve was that for the
Twin Cities he would establish
units which would correct the self
ish point of view of most of these
and give to these cities the best
representation that papers of their
size and content could possibly
merit.
Again / need only ask that you
compare these papers with others
in their class to be sure that we
have already passed them BY
And now we come to our fifth
and crucial year.
And I should like to emphasize
again that what the editor wants
still so much to do he cannot do
alone. He needs your help and
understanding.
In the five years that have
passed we have devoted ourselves
to our own education and to that
of our public. That was the first
necessity. For ourselves we have
learned many things not the least
of which goes to show we did not
know all things that have since
developed.

them to respect their own heroism.
They learn to think in centuries
and to hang on grimly until the
oppressor has met his historical
and inevitable doom.
"It is an interesting sign of the
awakening of the Negro masses
in this country that they have be-
gun to study their own history and
discover that it is a record to be
proud of" Mike Gold, radical
daily feature writer.

Poetic Thoughts
Anniversary Greetings
By MORRIS GIBBS, ST..

anniversary UT00CmgS
Each year at this birthday time,
Our paper shows the growth from a dime,
For financial strength shows progress made
In crusading progressive ideas in constant parade
Progress may be slow to some
But this business will be on the hum,
If all subscribers will help fight
The battle started with all their might.
A newspaper can only go so far
In advancing cause and keep ajar,
The bars of prejudice which always produces,
Lack of work and unwholesome excuses.
Make this paper your mouthpiece
Help the editor to cease
His early struggle by proving to him,
His argument correct and vision not dim.
Subscriber, haven't you noticed this last year
Progress made in overcoming fear,
Fear we hadn't right to receive
Positions which our money had right to retrieve
The staff who remain from year to year.
Congratuates their editor and right here
The public is getting, the best everything considered
Since all had to grow before they delivered.

Editor: Your news story on the
attempted suicide of the young st.

it necessary for Negro newspapers
to cater to sensationalism, aping
the worst characteristics of the
white daily press? It would seem
that the Negro press, locally at
least, is hunting always for the
unpleasant things that occur.
