This is a new development in a

been recounted in this column for
several years. In fact, we got into
a good deal Of trouble a few years
ago by saying that not only the
nasal Secretiuus but also the saliva
had great germicidal powers, and
that YOU did not need to put sub
stances in your nose which killed
germs in a few minutes, because
You already had such substances.
In fact, most of the a~ntiseptics
which are advertised to help the
nose out, do more harm than good
because they inhibit the natural
germ-killing secretions of the
mouth and nose.

selves admit, it took them a long

the educational set that they giving the Negro and
will goat that the Negro pays taxes For the benefit
of the people who hide behind their duty in renting to
the Negro the things that rightfuly his by using
the old untrue phrase that the Negro pays taxes"
will pass to him excerp taken from an address
delivered before the Kiwans Club recently at Jackson
Miss, by Fl. v Watkins, white prominent attorney of
that city:
Il think that the white people have too frequently thought
that paying all the taxes and TIE Negroes
and that this justifes the situation which have
tried TO describe to you, but if asked that
question ] would have to reply follows
1.-THE farm ownership in Kinds county, according to
the Census of 1885 when the land ownership was en-
rolled follows; White farm owners 82S These
92S owned total of 147500 of land in Kinds Co.
Colored farm owners were SIC and these Negroes
owned i0,903 acres.
"The point here is that these Negroes are paying
taxes their property to build and maintain our
schools and cannot truthfuly say that they do
not pay taxes

tages given by the county to white boys and girls and
how the coored had been neglected And to those who
think the Negroes do not pay taxes, will refer them

Equal Educational
Opportunities
BY Rey l.. Gillespie

Senator Thomas. Democrat
from Utah. has introduced a bill
in Congress providing federal aid
to education. In speaking of the
bill, he asked the question, "Can
state hire teachers at an average
Of $3.50 year ond expect thaN TO
be as competent as The tcscners
employed by another state for
S2.60l year?'
Much has been written about
the duel educational system of
the Soush. The main criticism
about it has been the differences
in the physical plants and the
personnel provided for white and
colored students. The recent
court action taken against the
Little Rock Board of Education
by the Negro City Teachers AS
ISOLATION for equalization Of sal
aries is Justified,
We must, however, consider the
vicious circle that makes discrimi-
nation on teachers salaries pos
sible. In the first place people
who are denied the ballot are
denied the right of protest. Poll
ticians are not humanitariens
but practical people. They are
responsible to those who put them
in office. In many cases this re-
sponslhJity is a political clique
and not TO the voters at large,
As a result, they are given crumbs
from the educational table and
have no redress for any wrongs
or fancied wrongs,
Our main concern in the pres
ent controversy is aot to help /
these teachers to get equal sal |
aries. That is their problem and |
collective action on their part |
will 60 long way in solving it, |
We know 1t Is a tough job as H. |
Illustrated by the recent action
taken by the Superintendent OF
Education In North Little Rock,
We are concerned, However, with /
the finished product Of this sys-
tenn which is our children,
The hest minds in the country !
agree that education benefits all
elements of the population, The
idea that an educated Negro pres
ents a menace to a community
is absurd, A Negro thief is in
the majority Of cases the out !
growth Of poverty. More public
money is spen. on the Negroes /
of the South in corrective lnstltu-
tons than on educational instl-
tutions.
For the sake Of our children
and a better community, Negro
teachers should be required td
meet the same educational stand
ards as the white teachers. Their
morals should hP equally high and
their sense of responsibility as
inypirational. We do not ask for
equal salaries for these teachers.
We do not ask for as elaborate
schools as the white. We simply /
p7irt to these things as an IL
lr trat'on Of people denied their
rights when they are denied the /
ballot.

Contradictions

N'hti attt sl'i~
The Negro is oppressed and
bowed down low. The race is
making militant progress. This is
n contraction, and yet both states
mcnts are equally true.
The LEGAL minority are getting
more things done in our behalf
and they are getting more pub
Lefty than ever.
On the other hard our brothers
and sisters lower down still feel
the crushing weight Of scgrega-
tion, an evil which still operates
today to keep several Of the Is
millions of us supine and "in our
place" There are thousands up
ON thousands of Negroes who by
/ environment and decades Of tutor
ing in inferiority, accept their
unequal status and judge every
thing in life hy a "wlite" stand
ard. Many Of them are almost
incapable Of being aroused to
fighting for their simple, funda-
mental rights.
Hopelcssness?
Here is an illustration: A Har-
lcmite went South to bury his
mother, who lived in a city of
about $4,000 popula ion, including
6,000 Negroes. In the course Of
his duties he wrote a letter to
the real estate agent eff his moth
er's home requesting certain re-
pairs which he was paying fer.
His sister, who was raised IN
that town objected to the busl-
ress like tone Of the letter because
the While recipient might not
like it,"
"Thore is a great deal more the
Negro could get in the South, If
he haGu't been trained to be O.
fraid to ask for It," said the
visitor. In this same little city
(Which is about 40 miles from
Atlanta, Ga.,) the only colored
school las a capacity of from $50
TO 400 students, but only 200 are
enrolled rrp two tf the eight
teachers have been dropped.
Juvenile delinquency is ALARM
ing" said the New Yorker, lust
as it is in Harlem" He stress
cd the fact that the long range,
basic cause of all these conditions
is racial segregation and discrlmi-
nation. 1t seems 30 kill the spirit
of thousands of our people, who
have lost both hope and desire
for a better life.
False Alarms I
All OF cur racial gains hardly |
scratch the surface Of the re
quirements to bring the Negroes
standard Of living up to the
American standard. And all the
progress we have made is mainly
individual progress, and due. also
to our militant vocal minority
who are ever in the forefront of
Negro progress
As for the South, The great
crime Of the middle and upper
class Negro generally is that he
isolatos himself from the common
man; even boasts that the South's
vicious segregation laws do not
touch him. Another curse en- The
race is the Negro misleader who

This type is just a fal-
Sc alarm who is too often loudest .

to this: the average Negro thru
out the United States is poor and
