ONE HELL-OF.A-JOB

Publishing newspaper in the deep south for the bene
fit and defense of the Negro against the and in
justices that always present is helofa job 1t
keeps constantly struggling 169 hours week to
keep the paper before the public since the Negro has not
yet awakened to the responsibility of supporting his own
And until the Negro wises himself up to the point that
any institution in the deep south that is operated for his
benefit has be supported by him it is to survive it is
always going to be difficult undertaking. The white
has shown the Negro that since he is responsible for
the Negroes status that cooperation can come from him
to advocate equal rights for the minority, only in few
isolated by whites who want to Justice triumph
But, these very few and sometime find themselves
the baking end first due to the criticism of thr
GATES secondly due the lack of interest from the Negro
whom they are trying to benefit
On the other hand any Negro publisher school
head gain financial powers provided he builds his pa
per institution to shape the Negroes life the way the
white man wants it, apologize and submissive This peri
odca has suffered loss Of considerable advertising from
white merchants whose prejudice has rendered them blind
the Negro market because has allowed itself to
be Charlie Mccarthy but has always fought for the
rights of all individuals. No doubt it has probably made
mistakes, but they be charged directly to the repre-
sentatves of the paper since hold monopoly right
With feeling that has the confidence of the reading
public the losses suffered from lack Of business from white
merchants due to its policy of fair play have been pleasant
suffering and until the publishers of this paper
WINGED that off track to benefit the race this
paper will continue to suffer.

subteruge will be used to deny the Negro that part

blood to save from tyranny The United States Supreme
Court has said that he has right to exercise his VOTE and
do not feel that state committee feels torcefu enough
to act contrary to the highest Courts ruling However,
the south has used states rights to deny the black of
many rights offered him under the Constitution, but,
sincerely feel that this voting business is right that
is guaranteed, and when say guaranteed, we mean
just that for when the Supreme Court hands down dec
sion, it generally takes those two old gentlemen of the
SOUTH Messrs Winchester and Lynch to combat it without
lot of redress and feel that that will be the only
that will stop the Negroes of Arkansas from appearing
at the polls Tuesday
We will not say that this will not be DONE for birds

Since the voting issue has been forced and the SUI
preme Court has spoken, TAXATION, WITHOUT REPRE-
SENTATION will longer be advocated, or at the least
pracced in Arkansas any more than Arkansas will stand
to see her black citizens called to foreign shores to shed
blood for Arkansas freedom and deny them the right to
share that freedom at home.

DEMOCRACY ON TRIAL
IN THE WORLD
BY A. +. Cunningham
Atkins, Arkansas

Arkansas
The doctrine of Democracy is:
Government by the people. for
the people and of the people,
We hear each day much being
said about Democratic govern
ment, and the love that each has
for it, and their willingness to |,
fight and die for it. The greatest
struggle in the history of the
world Is now going on for the
maintenance and establishment of
freedom for all groups the world
over. In this struggle there are
all colors of men and groups in
all grades of society. The rich,
the poor and the middle class are
all ON one side or the other. In
our country America, who boasts
of being the champion among
democratic nations, we have the
baby among the nations of the
earth the Negro, who has
emerged from chattel slave and
is giving his life's blood to fur
Their advance what he is told Is
democracy,
He is watching the changing
events today just as he has watch
cd, waited and prayed in the past
for better conditions that he has
seen others around him enjoy.
Child-like, he has stood and
watched others eat the sweets at
the table of government while
his mouth watered for some Of
the crumbs that fell from the
table. He has worked and helped
earn those delicious sweets. He
has fought for democracy on ev-
cry battle field when she was
assailed as he was told she was
assailed. He is still working and
waiting. He raises no insurrec-
tons in the government. he causr
es no strikes in labor and is gov
erned by what he is told is best
that can be had while others still
get the best of everything.
His faith in democracy has
been shaken by those who preach
loudest sermons about its graces-
If it means freedom and equal
opportunity for all, he Is won
dering who are the (all) mention
ed. So many limitations confront
him in the government until he
has come to believe that demo
cracy Is for select few. He
knows that he makes the same
sacrifice for his country, performs
the mental tasks without COM
plant, eats the commonest food,
lives in the cheapest homes, has
the least privileges Of any and
what he Is wondering is the re-
suits that he is getting real demo-
crazy. He was foremost in the
battle for American freedom
from English tyranny while he
was chattcl slave He Is think
ing that in as much as he help
ed to gain freedom for others, he
should have equal rights as free
men as any one else. He thinks .

Independent wish was placed in

Of all men -- the Maker who
created from one blood all men.
Should not all men have what his
Maker gave to all Has any man
or group any right to deprive
others Of his God-given rights ?

| inherited through my parents.
| am not living in it now The
people who rented it have moved
out. Do you think l should rent
it again or sell it?
Ans: Rent it out as long as you
are able to realize a profitable
income from it. A good piece Of
renting property will net you more
money in the long run than an
outright sale. And too, there is
the sentimental value attached.
There may COTE a day when you

Piles of the earth?
We have men who are not will
ing for Negroes to have a voice
in the government in which they
have shaved and been denied the
privilege of all except mental
service and poor food and in
decent housing facilities for them
selves and children. We have
men who call themselves Christ
ians and democrats who would
send the Negro away from the
fruits of his labor and deny him
of his inalenable rights while
the Negro is fighting for the de-
mocracy Of all men. These men
are the beneficiaries of the Ne
groes labor. We do not hesitate
to say that democracy is on trial
the world over and Just God
who knows all things is look
ing on and will pudge right for
all that are His.
We are filled with gratitude
and appreciation to those Chris
tan white men and women that
advocate justice towards the Ne
gro in this great country in which
he was forced to come. We know
there are many and many of
them who wish the Negro well,
else the Negro could not survive.
Yet there are many more who
scorn and look upon him with con-
tempt and will to do him harm

boy in the home when company
came for dinner and the hostess,
while the guests were eating told
him to take potato and wait I'M
til they had finished. Afterwards
there was nothing left except the
bones and fe wcrumbs. The Ne
gro has been waiting for nearly
century for some Of the food
at the governments official ia

tries have come and all have eat
en- of the gountiful and delicious
food that the Negroes labor and
toll have helped to secure and
only a few crumbs of privileges
here and there have the Negro
been able to get. A chance as
man is all he asks.
The Negro believes in one hun.
dred per cent democracy. Not
for himself alone. but for al
men. He believes in the brother
hood of man and the fatherhood
of God. Just q mans chance ~ .
