tons Greats.
After DePriest came Arthur
Mitchell, whose political stature
was somewhat subdued because he
followed the spectacular DePriest.
Mitchell was an educated man of
considerable training and therefore
could not offer the hill-billies physi-
cal combat. He was a new man of
a new order. Negroes too general
ly wanted Mitchell to be another
Oscar DePriest. This was neither
possible nor necessary. One De-
Priest was all that was necessary
to sparkplug the political rennais-
ance. To the credit of Arthur
Mitchell be it said, he was not
stampeded into trying to be a
vest pocket edition of DePriest. He
refused to let the know-it-alls run
his business. He had his own no
tons and followed these. He made
an effort at craftsmanship and his
efforts were not altogether unavail-
ing. Mitchell was great in another
way but he was great nevertheless.
Now comes Rep. Dawson who
is going about his work in way
to encourage the race. Dawson
like Mitchell must understand that
he cannot be a DePriest although
the Negro race is still expecting
that. This is a new day. South
erners no longer want to throw
out our Negro congressman from
the state affairs and functions so
we need intellectual capacity, not
physical prowess, IN our Washing
ton representative. We are count
ing strongly on Dawson. This
brings US to the matter of Adam
Powell. He promises to bring to
Congress a strength of character
and courage that will boost our
political fortunes in a way they
have not been boosted since the
days of Great old Oscar DePriest.
Powell has the opportunity to be
a political power in this country.
This writer is quite willing to
entrust to young Powell the poiti-
cal fortunes of the race. He has
the education, the courage, the
everything to make a mighty
political stalwart who will be
blessing not only to his Negro fell
lowmen but to this day and age
and generation. For a long time
it was feared that the younger
Powell was sailing under steam
his famous father generated. But
young Powell has proven that he is
going to be great on his own &C
count. He has overcome in a
very fine way the misfortune and
the handicap of having a famous
father. He needs no higher COM
mendation than that he refused to
make of himself the fool that he
could easily have been, as the son
Of a famous father. Powell has
what the race needs through here!

Then came DePriest out O.

and made history. His daring debut
infamed the political imagination
of the race and today the Negro
holds one of the most strategic
political positions in the history of
this nation. l do not hear much

they cannot ever fully pay. If

then is the morning star of the

Today the Negro is vote-minded
and vote-conscious in a way he
has not been since the early days
of emancipation. Even if a Ne

after such lapse of years, his
arrival would have been ineffective
had he not had the calibre of Oscar

physical and moral stature.

would have filled the bill. De-
Priest went to Washington offer
ing to fight physically as we'll as
politically if the occasion warranted
it. DePriest was a political pioneer
who made way for others and made
this way easier for others. He got
congress in particular and the
country in general accustomed to
seeing a Negro once more in the
high councils of the nation.
DePriest was not afraid of the
southern hill-billies who did not
want to meet him and greet him
in the various departments of
state and the functions thereof.
When these red-hot southerners
threatened to throw him out of the
cafeterias, ETC., he served notice
that he would be on hand for the
throw" He had them under

was there was no throwing be-

could not be frightened. Today,
the presence of a Negro in con-

for the manhood and the match

Negroes everywhere should send
up a prayer for the well being

PLAIN TALK
By Dan Gardner

the millennium in far shorter tim
than it now appears.
But this is not the case. Their,
appears to be no practical and con
certed effort on the part Of Negrt
leaders to check the vast sums o.
money being drained from Negr,
communities because we buy bu
don't sell. Perhaps we have nothinI
to sell. This, it might appear, hai
been a principal complaint over tn,
years of our most outspoken re
formers and sooth-sayers who con
tend that our future is dark becaus,
we have no merchandise. This may
be the reason there are no gian
Negro corporations manufacturing
clothing or marketing certain type.
of processed food and other neces
sites, aside from hair grease, Skin
whiteners, and other cosmetics.
Why Don't Negroes Invest?
You probably have heard the
question asked, why don't Ne,
groes invest considerable moneS
into factories so that employment
can be given to the many qualifiet
young Negroes who, otherwise
would have to wash dishes or worl
in someone's Kitchen" and you have
probably yourself deplored the fact
that we spend so much money anC
get little in return for it. It is al
due to the fact that we buy but
don't sell.
In fact, of the Is to 20 million
Negroes in this country, very few
in proportion actually realize what
is the basis of sound economics. Of
course they can work out the fam,
lily finances and the persona
budgets so that they can get alons
somehow but, insofar as applying 8
yardstick of economic measurement
to the sum total of the race as q
whole, the great mass of Negroes
has little or no knowledge.
1t would be one of our biggest
steps if, through a program of edu.
cation, Negroes with money coulC
be shown the advantages to the
whole group in establishing some
business enterprises in which We
do some manufacturing of basi,
goods. 1t is all right that we have
Negro retail stores, such as the
Shauter Drug Company in Cleve,
land, the drug store chain in De,
troit, individually owned drug stores
In Chicago and elsewhere, and it is
well and good that we have Negro
tailoring establishments and bust.
nesses of like kind, but few of these
are engaged in the manufacture Oh
basic necessities. When we get t.
the point where we can manufac.
ture and sell, say, a necessary type
or kind of oatmeal, a radio gadget
that improves reception, something
that could be used on automobiles
to improve performance, a brand
of shoes that is superior to those
already on the market, we will Their
be on the road ahead.
The lesson in this dissertation
should be apparent to all. If we car
gain something by increasing oul
capacity to sell to correspond with
our tendency and capacity to buy
think we will have chalked up q
great and necessary victory.
