The Big Brother
BY Morris Gibbs, Sr.

NNAeAAAo tNlA01og 1As
1t seems like at certain times
Someone, either an individual OF
nation
Assumes, or is assigned the big
brother role
To help settle certain situations.
The world has been fortunate so
far
In having Uncle Sam take that
part,
And he has been looked upon
AS the saviour from the start.
Sometimes the role gets to be con-
tinuous
Due to the fact it is accepted,
By the parties who undoubtedly
are weak
Look for a strong friend to be pro-
tected.
Charity begins at home
In accepting this role let's not for
get,
That it's nice to be helpful to all
But Glands off" has proven the
best policy yet.
Sympathy is one thing, common
sense is another
And it's sometimes hard to decide,
Just what a nation or individual
should do
Or just let things slide.
Good often is misconstrued, when
help is offered
Efforts can easily be wasted,
When acting as a peace maker
Causing a mediator to be thorough
ly Disguised.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1940-12-13
LISTEN To THIS
By Hobart T. Mitchell

Inc nrst mixed jury ever i'm
paneled in the United States were
to try jefferson Davis, president
of the Confederate States, for trea-
son, but the case never came to
trial. There were twelve whites
and twelve Negroes. Chief Justice
Salmon P. Chase was to preside.
(The author of this column has
a picture of this jury.)
Servius Tullius, the sixth king of
Rome, the son of Ocrisia who was
a captive and a slave. Tullius'
mother was a bondmaid.
"And he who graced the purple
which he wore,
The last good King of Rome, a
bondmaid bore"
In early history the Irish do not
seem ever to have engaged in slav-
cry on a large scale; yet St. Pat
rick was himself sold into slavery,
to a Scotchman, whom he served
as a keeper of swine.
Nelson, a mulatto VS.. The People
of the State of Illinois.
This was a prosecution under the
act of February IL, 1853, to pre-
vent Negroes and mulattoes emf
grating into the state of Illinois.
The third section of the. act de-
clares, that if any Negro or mu-
latto, bond or free, shall come into
this state and remain ten days
with the evident intention of re-
siding in the same, such Negro or
mulatto shall be deemed guilty of
high misdemeanor, and for the
first offense shall be fined fifty dol
lars, to be recovered before any
justice of peace Of the county
where such Negro or mulatto shall
be found. 1t also directs that the
proceedings shall be in the name of
the people, and a trial by jury of
twelve men.
The fourth section declares, that
if such Negro or mulatto shall be
found guilty, and the fine assessed
be not forthwith paid to the justice
before whom the proceedings shall
be had, it shall be the duty of the
justice of the peace to commit the
Negro or mulatto to the custody OF
the sheriff, or otherwise keep him
her or them, in custody; and the
justice of the peace is required
forthwith to advertise the Negro
or mulatto, by posting up notices
in at least three most public places
in the district, for ten days, and
on the day and place named in tbs
notice, the justice shall, at public
auction, proceed to sell such Negro
or mulatto to any person who shall
pay the fine and costs for the short
est period.
And the power is conferred upor
the purchaser to compel sucf
Negro or mulatto to work for anC

to furnish such Negro or mulattC

posite color, white" does not seem
to have enjoyed the same favorit-
ism. According to Plutarch, in the
Life Of Agesilaus, when that king
made an expedition into Persia, he
ordered his eommissaries, one day
to strip and sell all the prisoners.
Their clothes sold freely, but as to
the prisoners themselves, their
skins being soft and white, by rea-
son of their having lived so much
within doors, the spectators only
laughed at them, thinking they
would be Of no service as slaves.
In 1888, Solomon HUMPHREYS, a
Negro of Macon, Georgia, owned
one of the largest grocery stores
in town; $4,000 worth of property
and some slaves.
In Biblical times the slave some
times escaped Il Sam. 25:1O) in
which event, the master had the
right of reception. This right seems
to have extended to the territory
of the neighbOring nations, as was
exemplifed in the case of Shimei
pursuing his fugitives into the ter
ritory, and even to the house of
the King of Gath Il Kings 2:39, 4O).
With the characteristic exclusive
ness of the Jews, they denied this
right to other nations, whose slaves
sought refuge among them (Deut.
23:15,I6).

Among The Churches

The "Let Your Light Shine" Pew
Rally held during the evening
service hour was a success. Morris
Gibbs, ST., president of the Broth
erhood, raised the most money and
will be given a Bible at the service

Attention of all members and
friends of the church is directed to
the celebration of the twenty-frst
anniversary of the church, which
begins Sunday.

a hungry Negro worker the man
who keeps him out of a job be-
cause of his color is his enemy,
whether that man be an employer
or a labor leader.
CIO Has Done Better
The CLIO has done better on this
question than William Green's out
fit. Let that fact be remembered
when plans for uniting the two
labor movements get to a concrete
stage. If the A. F. of L. should
enforce its jim crow-exclusion
policy in the agreement to unite,
the Negro worker will be out in
the cold truly. His only salvation
is to fight now for his own well
fare. His first step should be an
intensified fight to amend the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act so that
unions which draw a color line
shall not be recognized as agents
to bargain collectively with en-
ployers. Labor leaders, like poll
ticians, do not understand concilia-
ton and cooperation; they under
stand and react only to uncom-
promising opposition. The more
docile we are, the less we will get;
the more hell we raise, the more
we will get.

Hits Program Adver-
Using

Editor: AS business man, / am
constantly contacted by individuals
wanting me to place an ad in their
programs. Most program advertis-
ing is not worth the paper upon
which it is printed. Ads which ap-
pear in them are simply cash gifts
from the unhappy merchant who
must perforce buy space in one of
them.
In the final analysis the only
person who profits from an adver-
Using program is the printer. The
advertiser and the group which
sponsors it get little value.
1t would be better for a mer-
chant to be approached for pur-
chase of tickets rather than adver-
tising in programs, most of which
get only the most casual glance
and end up on auditorium floors to
be swept up and burned by jani-
tors.
