LISTEN TO THIS
By Hobart T. Mitchell

An Introduction to Sociology by
Walter G. Beach, published 1925,
on page 1876, states about the
Negro: Sixty years ago he was a
Fslave. He owned no property;
"ninety-nine per cent were penni-
less field hands," He was illiterate
and without education.
In 1888, Solomon, a free Negro,
we'll known by men of all classes
in Macon, Georgia, kept a grocery
store, and had more credit than any
other merchant in town. Owned a
number of slaves and $40, 900 worth
of property.
In Virginia, free Negroes were
required to pay poll tax of $3.50
in 1913 and $3.50 in 1915. In 1914,
5,547 free Negroes paid 1892 in
taxes and in 1868 they paid $751;
065.22 in poll taxes.
Negroes in Baltimore paid $500
in school taxes in 1860 but could
not attend the public schools.
In Philadelphia, Negroes had
taxable property worth $3.50, 900 in
1882, $359,626 in 1887, and $780,
900 in 1847.
In Cincinnati, in 1910, Negroes
had acquired $228,OOO worth of
property. One Negro had $4,000
worth.

cation of the Negro were estab-
lished before the Civil War, Lincoln

filming of sugar was revolutionized.
TO TOM CARROLL
To my friend Mr.. Bill Carroll:
Millions of Negroes have read my
column Listen To This" but /
wish 80 per cent of my readers
would question the contents as you
have done. I take it that you ques-
toned whether or not Alexander
Dumas French writer of Negro
extraction and the author of
Monte Cristo," and "The Three
Musketeers") was the father of
son and daughter.
answer the question by telling
you to read the last paragraph on
page 428 of The Standard Die
tionary of Facts published 1922 by
The Frontier Press or The Ameri-
cana, Volume z.
The above books may be found
in the Public Library, or better
still, if you wish, in my private
library at 1912 Elliot Ave., Mime
apois.

that the Negroes of
Harlem have been victimized
by discrimination exercised by
Jewish employers in Harlem,
by Jewish renters who ex-

worst slums of America, by
Jewish sharpsters who cashed
rent and relief checks at

Yes, the average Negro is anti
Semitic, just as the average white
is anti-Negro. A Negro looking
around Harlem can easily believe
that the Jews alone are exploiting

What's Next?
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

After this war-what's next?
A very perplexing question, but
still
We should continually prepare,
. So We'll never have to obey any
tyrant's will.
We always hope every war is the
last
In trying to make world democ-
racy safe,
But some new ism always is ram
pant
To breed the seeds of hate.
There's only one way to stop this
Start from the very first,
To end any menace of democracy,
Their we won't have to fear the
worst.
A lot of trouble we bring ourselves
By letting incidents go by,
Some say, don't cross the bridge,
Maybe the problem won't cause
anyone to die.
Forces of evil thrive quickly
AS alert patriots can see,
And therefore believe in prepared
ness
AS a sure way to keep free.
Casting pearls before swine"
Is not for anyone to do,
"Love thy neighbor as myself"
Should be remembered by more
than a few.

Editor: AS a member of the
Minneapolis Branch of the NAACP
1 feel it my bounden duty to make
reply to an editorial which ap-
peared in a recent issue of a local
Negro newspaper excoriating the
Branch and accusing it of lethargy.
Two charges are hurled against it
which are unfounded and scurril-
Gus in their nature, the result of
distorted imagination. I have Won
dered why the writer did not seek
information from those competent
to give it.

termine what legal steps might be
adopted in the premises. This mat
ter is still occupying the attention
of the Executive Committee of
both Branches.
Our action in every particular
was of public record that he who
runs may have read through the
columns of the Minneapo s
Spokesman, the daily press, and
any other publication which seeks
reliable and accurate information.
Should the writer or any other in
dividual desire information con-
corning the Branch's activities, any
member of the Executive Commit
tee will be only too glad to i'm
part it and will welcome at all
times constructive and sane criti-
cism. The lines of the poet, Gray,
come wildly to my mind:

lies,
His inward bosom to disguise"

because of that he has faced a
life of discrimination, hard work,
the lowest kind of jobs and pay.
He may have sweated his way
through college-but he finds the
professions closed to him, he is re-
stricted in his living quarters
must live in a ghetto-certain res
taurants will not serve him, the
movies and cartoons poke "fun" at
him, literature either ignores or
ISLANDERS him hatred and jim
crowism surround him like a tight
wall.
To millions of Negroes, the
WPA was a slight crack in this
wall of stupid hate; it not only
gave them work, but a chance to
work at whatever they had trained
themselves for, a chance to do
white collar work. In filmed fiction,
John Doe being a Negro, is
"happy-go-lucky," with rhythm in
his dancing feet and a lot of other
nonsense but at the moment
he doesn't feel particularly lucky
or happy, for he has a dreaded
pink slip-the WPA has been
slashed by a reactionary Congress.
He will get one more pay check,
then he's through-nothing to look
forward to except a possible job
as a porter or some other mental
labor. Although the Negro has
always been a helpful citizen, has
been a mighty factor in the build
ing of America-has willingly CIV
en- his intelligence and his strength,
often his life America has
given him only crumbs and slaps
in return.
His mind full of the tragedy of
the pink slip, John Doe takes the
subway to Harlem. He reads in
the paper that 10000 Jewish refu-
gees may be allowed into this
country although he feels
sorry for them, he's against the
refugees coming to America
he's worried for he has been
told that then, even the mental
work will not be open to him
then there will be no jobs at all
the refugees will work at any
thing for any kind of wages. That
is what he has been told, that's
what he has read, and that is what
he thinks: "What do they want to
let in more Jews for? Too damn
many of them here already!"
In Harlem, he goes to the
grocer and finds that prices have
gone up again war profiteer-
ing by the big concerns and not by
the grocer John Doe hasn't
money; he asks the Jewish store
keeper for temporary credit
just till he goes home and gets
some more change but the
storekeeper refuses (as any shop
keeper would) and John Doe walks
out cursing high prices and the
"damn Jews!" ......
The cigar store, the butcher
shop, the clothing store, furniture
and drug stores most of the
petty shops in Harlem are run by
Jews.
Mr.. Doe goes to his small fiat
=. on which he has been overpay-
ing from 25 to so per cent on the
rent. When he had a job, he sacri-
feed a suit, books, food, or other
needs on the altar of high rent, but
now-without a job-the fiat is
out of the question. He asks the
agent for a reduction in rent, OF
a few months credit till he gets
on his feet again hasn't hi
always paid his rent on time, beer
a good tenant, etc.? The agent is
Jewish-maybe the former owner
of the house-and he tells John
