COLORED AMERICANS
BAFFLED AND CONFUSED

Colored Americans who have
read these speeches, and humid
reds of others like them, r Daf-
fled and confused. They know
that thousands and thousands, yea
millions of their fellows are IL
fed, ill-housed, and ill-clad in this
rich country of ours, and that
they remain so after years and
years of Billion-D Dollar spendings.
They are kept from employment
in industry with regular wages,
and that their color alone con
dennis them to the lower and low
est levels of living.
They know that in some eleven
States of our Union, the so called

NEGRO IS Still DEMOCRACY
TEST SAYS MAACP REPORT

New York-During 1910, the
American Negro proved to be the
surest standard for testing, N
terms of concrete action, u Gov
ernment's oft repeated assertion
that American democracy gives
full justice to all citizens of the
United States, according to a re-
port made by Walter White at the
annual meeting of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, held here Mon
day, January 6.
Four Supreme Court Victorier
On the credit side of the NAAC
P. secretary pointed to four dec
isions won before the United
States Supreme Court, affecting
the rights of Negro citizens. The
first of these decisions, read by
Justice Hugo L. Black, last Febr-
uary IL, denied the right of Flor
ida courts to obtain confessions
from four Negro youths, through
torture, and termed conviction af-
ter such action. unconstitutional.
The cases of Dave CAVITY, in Ala
bama, and Bob White in Texas,
were also reversed on similar
grounds. The fourth decision de-
MED the right of persons to bar
Negroes from buying or living on
property in areas of a city res
tricted by agreement among pro-
perty owners.
The Association also won a not
able case in its six year fight to
equalize the salaries of Negro and
white teachers in southern and
border states, when the U. S. Su-
preme Court refused to review a
Circuit Court of Appeals decision
denying the right of the Norfolk
Va, schoolboard to pay lower sal
aries to Negro teachers solely On
the basis of color. This victory
added $4,000 to the salaries of
Negro teachers in Norfolk.
Pointing out that 1910 marked
the most crucial period in our
country's history, the NAACP. ex-
ecutive secretary said it was new
ertheless true that the Admins
tration muffed a great opportun-
ity to prove how democracy can
work in times of stress to preserve
civil liberties for 100000 Amer
lean Negroes who have suffered
more than any other group in our
country from the denial of even
basic citizenship rights.
Chief among the happenings,
Mr.. White listed was the failure
of Congress to pass a federal anti
lynching law at a time when the
majority of American citizens in
the South as we'll as the North be-
lieve such a law should be passed.
He declared this demonstrated
that there are men in our Con.
gress who are willing for Hitler

COLORED STAFF IN
POSTAL OFFICE
Company Opens New Branch In
Washington, ID. C.


Decemebr 10, 1910 marked the
official opening of a branch office
of the Postal Telegraph Company
at 1011 U. Street, Northwest,
Washington, d. c., manned and
operated by an ~all-colored staff
Hosea Lindsey, Who first got
his taste of the business in Akron
Ohio, years ago, is the office man
ager. After spending sometime
in the telegraph field. he decided
that Washington was the place
where he could raise his millions.
After looking over the field
there, MIR. Lindsey sought the as
sistance of the Washington Urban
League, through its executive sec
rotary, George w. Goodman.
In measuring work possibilities
of Negroes in Washington, the
league has assembled information
on the colored population concen-
tration in the Northwest section,
attending information concerning
their businesses, and the distribu-
ton of telegraph offices.
Armed with a base map indicat-
ing these features, Mr.. Lindsey
descended upon the local telegraph
officials and presented his cred
entails. The officials were i'm
pressed and forwarded the infor-
nation to New York City where
the main office confirmed the
project.

have had at least two years high
school education and some exper-
fence as motor mechanics, an OPP
portunity to assist in the defense

and I have therefore been able to
obtain a quota of 80 men for o.
maha and Lincoln. Thk quota

Prospective applicants who

Your assistance in this matter
will be greatly appreciated by the

Very truly yours,

THREE
NOTABLE
ADDRESSES
by Emmett j. Scott

Washington, D. c., Jan.
5-Three u9table address
es were made here in
Washington last week.
Each sought to stress and
more definitely, to define
this thing we call demo-
,racy.
They each came from high quar-
ters-from the President of the
United States, the Chief Justice of
he Supreme Court Of thu United
States, and a high-ranking MEM
Der of the United States Senate.
In substance and form and elo-
quencc Of statement, the three adj
eresses rank high, ve,y high.
Coming from such high quarters
thy d~eservedly challenge the at
tention of the country and the
world. They dealt with the fund
pmental concepts of orr ieinoc-
sacy, and were surcharged with
patriotic purpose and social vision.
They set forth ideas and idealsN
which. if lived up to, would tripg
about in this country of onrsN a
philosophy of living, a wy of
peace, and. in truth andIn fact,
a government dedicateR to the
proposition that the 1Ysh and the
poor alike stand Upon common
ground; that each has esraI rights
as vel! as equal Opportunities
and that, each is entitled to the
full protection of his government
in the PRESERVATION of the price
less rights nd privileges Of citiz-
ensiip."

RACIAL ~PRE.sUDICES
N BIGOTk les


The realization of these ideals
in America is at p eseut prevent
ei mainly by racial pejudices apd
bigotries. These pres idices all
tigotries fall with IL reatening
impact day by day, yearNin and
year out, upon the haplessN heads
of the great masses of n patio
ular group of our American cit
izenship-the Negro group. "
Chi.f Justice Hughes spoke
with unaccustomed bIuntness
when, in his address, calling for
the improvement of human rela-
items in America, he said. that
"liberty cannot be preserved by
majority rule unless the majority
hold sacred basic individual rights
of race or creed, so that there
maybe can abiding sense of hu-
man dignity and worth-and
friendly cooperation in pursuit of
common ideals of JUSTICE
In further comment, and follow
ing up this thought, he emphasiz-
ed the fact that "rancor and big
otry, racial luminosity and intoler-
ance are wholly incompatible
with that cooperation because
they undermine the very founda-
tions Of democratic effort"

THE CONSENT OF
THE GOVERNED

In his address, to the nation, Mr..
Roosevelt referred to the totalit-
arian dictators as seeking to set
up a new ORDER, and. by implic-
alton, spoke of our country as
hav ng a government biased upon
the consent of the governed
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, the
third notable to speak during rhe
week, declared that while VIC
sympathize with the oppressed and
prosecuted peoples of the world,
we realize that we have great
problems at home; that one third
of our population is ill-fed, Ill

told repeatedly, he said, "upon

FREE USE TIMBER
HELPFUL TO MANY

More than 100000 board feet Of
free use" timber in the Deer Lodge
national forest were given away 10
1877 individuals IN the Butte area
during the fiscal year ended June
80 according to Charles A. Joy. for
est supervisor The exact amount OF
timber cut from the forest in the
free use" category was 1892. 900 feet
It was worth about 5000 on the
basis Of stumpage, or the price OF the
ground before being felled and hauled
away.
Joy said that the amount OF timber
presented TO residents in the forest
area for fuel and other purposes was
about 1000 600 feet more in the fiscal
year Just ended than for the year
l939-40. The gifts OF free use timber
reached a high during the years 1882
and 1888. when the depression forced
many families to depend upon bug
killed and other dead timber for fuel

Although most OF the timber is dead

is green and is given to the respective
counties and some cities in which It
grows. The principal use for the wood
is fuel but other timber is used for
dry stulls, fence posts. various kinds
of braces and supports and many
other purposes.
The forester said that one Of the
reasons for the decrease in the cut
now. as compared with conditions a
decade ago, is that the more available
timber has been removed. forcing per-
sons to go farther into the more re-
mote sections to obtain wood
