nal, will address the opening ses-
sion of the Sind annual conference
of the NAACP in Houston, Tex,
Tuesday night, June "a. Mr.. Agar
an outstanding southern liberal,
will speak on "The Negro and the

For many years the Courier
journal has been outspoken in its
demands for better treatment of
colored people. 1t supported the
federal anti-lynching bill without
reservation. 1t came out for equal
salaries for teachers. Its general
manager, Mark Ethridge, has
spoken numerous times through
out the South against lynching,
against Acknowledgement, for in
creased health and educational ia
cilities, and in general support of
a progressive program for race
relations. The Court e r-Journal
came out year or two ago with
an editorial urging the election of
a Negro alderman in the city.

MASKING The
Color Line

Evidently there is more than
one way to smash the color line.
Where petition, persuasion, logic
and reason fail, there still remains
another weapon, the picket line. 1t
was this method which finally
caused the New York City bus
lines to capitulate to the demand
of Negroes for opportunity to work
as chauffeurs and in the machine
shops of the great New York Om-
nibus Company and the Fifth Ave-
nue. Coach Company. Carrying
thousands of Negro passengers
each day to and from their work,
the bus companies for over a de-
cade had remained deaf to the
pleas of Negro citizens to give
Negro men chance to work on
level above that of bus clean
ers, and to qualify for other posi-
tions open to all races and nation
alities save Negroes.
And finally, when all other

JUST TO
REMIND YOU
By E. I. r.

After tests through several
months, the medical corps reports
that Negro truck drivers taking
the test are able to see twice as
far as white truck drivers at night.
Strangely enough, insurance COM
panies regard the Negro as a poor
risk, while government tests give
them a higher rating
In Chicago, Hamilton McWhor-
ter, lawyer and former president
of the Georgia Senate, was indict-
ed on federal charge of conspir-
acy to hold Negroes in a condi-
ton of peonage and slavery. In
dlcted with him was William T.
Cunningham, Georgia planter.
1t IS being suggested that Ne
groes wear button labelled: 1--WE
Are Loyal Americans. $4,000, 900
American Negroes"
Since when and where in the
name of God comes such a sugges-
ton?
The most distinguishing label
for a full Pledged American is a
black face.
In the World War, President
Wilson took no chances. His sha-
dow wore a black face.
What Is The Test?
mot color nor race nor religion.
Not the pedigree of his family
nor the place of account. Not his
trade or his profession, nor his
birth. Not his social status nor
ms bank account. Not his trade
nor his profession. An American is
one who loves justice and believes
in the dignity of man. An Amer
can is one who will fight for his
freedom and that of his neighbor.
An American is one who will sac
rifice property, ease and security
in order that he and his children
may retain the right of free men.
An American is one i'm whose
heart is engraved the immortal
second sentence of the Declaration
of Independence"
The second sentence reads:
1--WE hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
heir Creator with certain inalien-
able rights, that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." e

Bronze American Beauty Contest
and the presentation OF Jimmie
Lunceford and his tip top band
thrilled a capacity audience of over
600 dance and music fans at Nc
Elroys beautiful Palm Gardens

preciate Stanton H. Duke for his

give us the best in promoting big

was one if not the greatest at
fractions ever enjoyed by the race
group in Portland. Jimmie is a

chestra is definitely tops and the

forceful leadership of Rev. F. w.

in its drive for a goal of 500 men,

states, Should be ashamed to
report less than 500 members in
an organization that is fighting
so vitality for the Negro in these
perilous times. The. very least a
Negro may do is to join the N.

number should pay at least $3.50

every month and keep abreast of
what is being done in the Negroes
behalf"

You have no right to complain
