DIR. CARVER'S AWARD

DIR. George Washington Carver,
famed Tuskegee scientist, was
given the Roosevelt award last
week for the outstanding achieve
ment in the field of science. No
American deserved the award more
than the sage of the South, and
the committee which selected him
must be praised for so doing.
The work of DIR. Carver, who
like most great men or women, is
self-effacing, considerable and a
lover of his task, is sufficient proof
of the ability of an American who
happens to be a Negro to rise from
the very abyss of human existence
to the top of human endeavor. He
is a living example of the will of a
people to fight their way to a place
of responsibility and Importance in
their own country, despite great

Will the Stray Black
Sheep Return to the
Fold of the G.. D. p?
BY KELLY MILLER

Finley Wilson could just as we'll
furnish the information requested.
When Bishop Clair was pastor
of the Asbury Church in Washing
ton, an over Jealous evangelist
from Pittsburgh rushed into the
ministers meeting and informed
the gathering that God had sent
him here to warn the people of
impending obstruction of this wick
ed city. The Rev. Clair with his
accustomed bluntness said to the
body that he lived as close to God
as anybody, and if the Almighty
had any message for the people of
Washington, he would have sent it
through him and have saved the
Pittsburgher railroad fare.
The analogy to the case in point
is pertinent. DR.. Bunche approach
es the subject from a detached
point of view; for his pre-disposi-
ton is liberal beyond the normal
appreciation of the Orthodox Re-
publican mind. After a careful
study and analysis of the facts
this expert ''has given the party
what he believes to be the cause
of the disaffection of the Race
vote in the last two Presidential
elections, and what remedies the
party must apply if it wishes to
regain the lost loyalty of the race
voters as a whole"
After traversing the we'll known
facts and argument causing the
estrangement of the Negro vote
from the Republican fold, DR..
Bunche concludes that reconcilia-
ton can be effected only by Cen
reimbursement in the South, pro-
lection of civil liberties, an anti
lynching legislation, and appoint
ment of members of the Race to
policy forming and other respon-
sible positions" If the Grand Old
Party of yesteryear is willing to
inaugurate such a program in
earnest and can bring forth fruits
meet for repentance the Negro
will, of course, return to it's former
allegiance unless in the meantime
the Democratic adversary is will
ing to call the hand of it's Repub-
lican rival, and go him one better.
If the experience of DR.. Emmett
j. Scott and the experiences of DIR.
Ralph Bunche can persuade the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-10-27

Some weeks ago l issued a re-
lease upon the appointment of DR.,
Ralph Bunche, Professor of Poll
teal Science of Howard Univer-
sity, as an expert for the National
Republican Committee to ascertain
the cause of the Negroes dissatis-
faction with the Grand Old Party
and of his espousal of the side of
its democratic adversary. DR.
Bunche was also required to show
the G. o. P. how it might regain
its former black deserters.
His report has now been in the
hands of the National Republican
Program Committee for 2 months,
But the survey is still locked in
the secret vaults of the Committee
and has not been given to the pub
lie.
The Negro Press, however, by
methods well known to inquisitive
journalism, has secured or OWNED
the contents of DR.. Bunche's Re
port. 1t can hardly be supposed
that this leakage is a duplicate of
the experience of the late T.
Thomas Fortune, whom President
Theodore Roosevelt sent around the
world to secure the inside informa-
ton on the reactions of the Race
problem in different parts of the
globe. Mr.. Fortune was so eager
to acquaint the public with his
views that the Negro Press of
America was advised of his obser-
vations before the official copy
had been given to the President
who appointed him. For this
breach of official propriety Mr..
Fortune was justly rebuked and
his report suppressed. 1t cannot be
presumed that DR.. Bunche, a Har-
ward Doctor of Philosophy, could
be guilty of such a breach of pro-
priety.
1t may be that several stray
fishes from the school swan right
over the dam. However, this may
be, the report when issued cannot
vary widely from the prepublished
account in the Negro Press. At
the time of DR.. Bunche's appoint
ment l stated that it did not re-
quire the erudition of an expert in
Political Science to inform the G.
o. P. why it had lost the ale
glance of it's former black allies

at Northeast Neighborhood House,
gave an instructive report of the
work of his agency and also left
with the group some sound advice
as to the conduct of job seekers.
An interesting discussion followed
his talk.
Mr.. Thomas announced that for
the first time Negroes were being
admitted to the NYA resident
training project at Shakopee, sew
eral Twin City boys having left
this weekend. Mr.. Seymour issued
a special invitation to high school
students to attend-future meetings.

Howell Urges a
Dime a Day Club

Editor: A dime a day club is
one of the easiest conceivable ways
that poor people or Negroes could
accumulate enough money over a
short period of time to establish a
cooperative store. The essential
difference and others is that a dime
a day club is free from church
affiliation, free from social activi-
ties, such as dances, parties, pa
rades and suppers. A dime a day
club is a thrift organization with
tangible and practical purpose in
view. There is no joining fee or
mules to ride, or goats to ride in
the installation. 1t is simply made
up of a group of people who wish
to pool their small savings for the
purpose of opening some kind or
to travel, or to make some other
investment.
The membership may include
white, black, yellow or brown peo-
pie. These people may be Method
lists, Baptists, Holy-Rollers, Cath
olcs, or Jews. They may be Demo-
Gratis, Socialists, Communists or
Republicans. So you see there
should not be any misunderstood
ing as to fractional groups. All
each small group needs to do is
to agree that he will be willing to
put away a dime each day or give
dime to the treasurer of the club
for the purpose of putting the ac-
cumulated savings into a business
or into something else. This is a
bit more practical than playing the
numbers. This money could be put
into the Associated Negro Credit
Union and interest would be paid
on same.
Let US say that there are $50
small clubs now in action in the
Twin Cities with active paying
membership of say 100. If these
100 would put away a dime each
day this would mean $1,000 per
week. In a year, this would mean
$3,640.0O. In five years, the total
would be $18,2OO.OO. This would
mean that we could have a fully
supplied grocery in Minneapolis,
one in st. Paul. Two debt free
churches in both cities. One CO.
operative farm and two fine beauty
parlors coop. owned. At least
thirty people would be employed.

odds.
The life of the Tuskegee scien-
fist should, meantime, be followed
closely by both black and white
Americans who find themselves
apparently hopelessly frustrated
and unable to rise to a level of
economic security much less con-
tribute to the cultural store of the
world. 1t is true that the odds are
against almost anybody rising
above his level, and this is not all
his fault. However, many Ameri-
cans, regardless of race, wear out
the excuse of oppression by others
as the reason why they are down
and out. 1t is high time that the
blue singers take a leaf out of DIR.

When children first start to school,
The A, B. Cs and three RS a rule,
Are the elementary principles which they're taught
So the child can be further along brought.
We go to school for a purpose.
So the nation can discourage any surplus,
Ideas of ignorance that always here,
And not allow tyrants to instill fear.
We have schools of prevention for your health,
Schools of religion for daily spiritual wealth,
Schools of adventure for education and knowledge,
The field is diversified you choose your college.
AS we advance along lifes road,
We discover that different ideas have been sowed,
In regard to how should get success,
Many the ideas advocated we'll have to confess
Everyone has ambitions desires in view,
But don't forget in everything you do,
The principles you taught the same,
That brought famous leaders to the hall of fame.
Schools give US theory and a little experience
In what to do but there's no better adherence,
That practice makes perfect in all professions,
And it's your duty get this among your possessions
There's only rule for
If you it you'll never have to guess,
In times of temptation the Golden Rule,
Is applicable today like you learned at school,
