POOR SIDEWALKS

The sidewalks in the Negro COM
munity are in a very bad state of re-
pair. In many places they are below
the level required by ordinance and
pools Of water after rains fill them to
a depth of twelve to fourteen inches
and render them unusable.
We suggest to Commissioner
Harry Trustin that he take time off
and drive around a bit and see what. is
needed and then correct what needs
correcting. An Inspector might make
practical and helpful suggestions to
the property owners, without working
a hardship on anyone.

TWO FIREMEN

Attention has been called to the
Herman Lewis case in this paper sew
eral times. And we have been insist
ing upon a fair deal for Lewis. We
believe he is being prosecuted; that
other firemen in his company have
committed offenses far greater than
any Lewis has ever committed. But
Lewis has been suspended and charg-
es have been filed against him with
the City Council.
Shortly after Lewis was suspend
ed another fireman was suspended for
being drunk on duty; but no charg-
es were filed against him, although
this is not the first offense. Why?
But Lewis had committed no offense
against the laws or rules Of the Fire
Department, but he was brutally beat
en- by police officers, thrown in jail and
fined on two charges by Judge John
w. Battin.
We are citizens and taxpayers Of
Omaha, Herman Lewis is a hometown
er and taxpayer. And why stage a
raid on his private home and use the
result of that raid as an excuse for the
charges filed against him. Besides,
the convictions? before John Battin
have been appealed to the District
Court. And before they were heard
on appeal, dismissal charges were fill
ed against Lewis, using the convict
ions? as a basis for such charges. Why
the hurry, Commissioner Korisko and
Chief Olson?
1t all adds up to prejudice and IA
voritism and injustice toward Lewis.
The whole case smells and is offensive
to the fairminded people Of a free COM
munity.

through the consciousness that they
helped these young colored men to pre-
pare themselves for a larger service to
their fellows and their country.
Much remains to be done by the
railroads for their colored workers,
but much has been done already.
We want the officials of the rail
roads to know that we have not been
unmindful of the helpful things they
have done. Enough has been written
about their sins.
The Omaha guide., 1941-06-21

More has been written about rail
roads than any other form Of trans
portation. Uusually, what has been
written was uncomplimentary.
Not very long ago, a survey was
made among Colored men now engag-
ed in the practice Of law, medicine and
dentistry, and it was found that sew
enty percent of them during their
school days had worked for railroad
companies in vacation periods.
Heads Of the commissary depart
ments of the various railroads often
would write to Colored colleges and
universities and offer employment.
And, often, after graduation, the same
roads would employ these men so that
they might earn a stake" on which to
begin their professional careers. Some
times, too, men have remained with
the railroads and made careers in their
service.
Older men in the service Of the
railroads have also done their full part
by these young men. They have
taught them the work through the
years, year after year, all over the
country as they have entered the SER
vice of the roads. And they, and the
officials of the railroad companies.
have been made more content with life

NIGHT LAW SCHOOLS

A controversy is raging in this
state about legal standards and Night
Law Schools; about rich schools and
poor schools; about the right of poor
boys to acquire a legal education and
afterwards practice law in the courts
of this state.
The American Bar Association,
composed of and dominated by corpor-
alton lawyers for the most part, has
set up standards for the admission of
attorneys. Our State Supreme Court
has adopted the standards fixed by the
American Bar Association. The plan
provides that before a law school can
be accredited so as to admit gradual
es to take examinations, a certain
number Of full time professors must
be employed; the law library must
contain a certain number of volumes
and the courses of study must conform
to a certain standard. And one other
requirement is made; the law school
must have assets Of $100, 100000, in fac
%ilities, such as buildings, books, class
rooms and other equipment.
Under this standard, wealth is
predominant. A poor boy is thus shut
out from this field and probably, with
him, a future Chife Justice of the Uni
ted States or a President of the Unit
ed States.
This means, Of course, that many
men will be deprived Of a legal educ
alton who otherwise would acquire it.
Let us suppose that only the SON.
of the wealthy or well to do had be-
come lawyers in the past. In that case
many Of the ablest lawyers would have
been excluded. In that case, Senator
James F. Byrnes and Attorney Gener-
al Robert H. Jackson, who have just
been appointed to the United States

NEGRO TEACHERS

Last year when the list of teach
ers was published as approved by the
Board of Education, two Negroes
were among them. They were both
assigned to the department Of phys
zeal education, one to Long school and
the other to Howard Kennedy. In adj
dition to the two teachers, Mrs. Bobbie
Turner Davis was employed by the
School Board in the service Of Vocat-
ional Guidance.
Additional teachers should be
added. Applicants include persons
who hold advanced degrees as well as
arts and science degrees. One apple
ant holds a Master Of Arts degree from
Nebraska University and has several
credits or his doctors degree at the
University of California at Berkley.
The policy Of the board is now
settled as to employment Of Negro
teachers. We would like to see the
Board of Education pursue their pol
icy by increasing the number of tea
cheers this year. That action would
help all around.

admitted to practice law in Nebraska;
could not even have taken the bar x

This is still a peoples govern

mtis any agency Of the people to set
UP a system based upon wealth, the
sooner it is amended the better.

himself alone. It is a social prayer.
There isn't a single "P' or my" in it.
Notice the way it begins: Our Fa-
Their not my Father.
And here are its principal petit
tons:
"Give US this day OUR daily
bread
Forgive US OUR trespasses"
Lead US not into temptation"
Deliver US from evir'
If the spirit of this prayer were
accepted we would have the solution
Of most Of our social problems; wars
would cease unemployment would be
largely taken care Of; human hatred
would disappear.
Suppose, for example, that the
man who prayed for daily bread was
deeply concerned about his neighbor
also getting his daily bread? Nobody
would go hungry.
Suppose that the man who asked
for forgiveness was anxious that 9TH
ers should also be forgiven? It would
eliminate hatred. AS a matter of fact,
the only comment Jesus made upon the
prayer which He taught His disciples
was this: IF We forgive not men their
trespasses, how can your Heavenly
Father forgive you your trespasses?"
The man who prays for deliver
ance from eviI', must take care that
he does not lead others into tempta-
ton.
The next time you offer this pray
er to the Almighty, stop and ask your
self-"Am I including my neighbor in
this p~rayer?" If not, you might better
quit, because your voice will reach no
higher than your own lips.

PRAYER AND BROTHERHOOD
(by DR.. Charles Stelzle)

The Lords Prayer" is familiar
to nearly every man, woman and child
in this country. 1t is used on public
occasions when a prayer suitable to all
classes, and people of all religious be-
iefs, is desired. But there probably
isn't n person in a thousand who
realizes what he is asking for when he
presents its petitions.
No man can pray this prayer for

STEADY THERE!
(by Ruth Taylor)

Have you ever been caught in a
panic stricken crowd? If you have,
you will never forget the experience.
| was on an overcrowded, ~overbalanc-
ed boat one time when | was a child
and | remember the blind panic Of the
crowd as the ship listed heavily. They
rushed from one side to another-push
ing and crowding, hysteria rising rap
idly as the panic spread and the vessel
listed more heavily with each surge Of
the mob.
Then, just when it seemed the
ship would overturn with the next
rush a man jumped up on the rail and
cried out in a calm determined voice,
STEADY, there" The surging crowd
stood still for a moment. And in that
pause he told them that if they kept
their heads, they would be safe. They
must stand quietly where they were
and then cooperate in order to keep
the balance of the boat until the capt
ain could bring it to shore again. The
crowd steadied to his calm counsel and
the vessel came safely to its dock.
In this hour of international
strife an dnational turmoil, we need
men who can cry STEADY ,there",
who can recognize the danger, and
plan the way to face it. But even more
than this we need people everywhere
who can stand steady in the face Of i'm
pending disaster, and avert it because
they know the value of cooperation
and will not be led into blind panic;
who can wait until they know the facts
and who then can take their proper
places in the fight so as to assist the
leaders at the helm to bring the ship
of state to shore.
Even though danger threatens,
even though the clouds grow darker,
and the storm draws closer, it has not
broken. There is no need for panic in
this country noW-or later.
We must hold steady. Resolution
is needed and also work and sacrifice
for the all out task of defense. A false
ems Of security or undue optimism is
dangerous but we must not slip into
the corresponding fault Of the pessim-
ism that accepts the worst as an estab-
lished fact-the pessimism that ends in
descriptive panic.
We must hold steady against
those %subversive forces who try to a
rouse suspicion and fear and whip
them into the unthinking, u~nreasoning
terror that sends the crowd into wild
rout.
Over three hundred years ago
John Bunyan wrote in his "Holy War"
"For here lay the excellent wisdom Of
him that built Mansoul, that the walls
could never be broken down nor hurt
by the most mighty adverse p~otentate
unless the tOwnsmen gave consent
there to-"
Steady there! That is the immed-
late task for all of us.

proximate the help that an embargo on
oil and metals to Japan would giveto
China.
Why don't we establish an en-
barge? Because, say the appeasers,
Japan would seize the Dutch East In
dies if we enlarged oil. (The ap-
peasers had other reasons that satisfi-
ed them just as well in the days before
Holland was overrun by the Nazis.)
And the oil companies would lose a lot
Of business. And anyhow we are not
at war with Japan, and an embargo
would be looked upon as an unfriendly
act. So the reasons pile up, and Japan
is able without our active help, to go
on conquering China and preparing to
conquer the Dutch Indies and the Phil
ippines and the rest Of the Pacific ter
ritories, and ultimately to fight us.
