common laborer, the maid, the cook,
the porter and the so-called "little
Negroes" should get chance to
talk.
"POOr Whites" Needed
In talking they would talk to the
so-called "poor white trash," and
the uneducated elements among the
Southern whites, left to their own
devices, join the Ku Klux Klan,
form lynch mobs and follow blindly
after Rankin, Bilbo, Reynolds, FL
lender and "Cotton Ed" Smith in
their white supremacy" programs.
When such a situation comes about,
then the way will begin to become
apparent. But not until then.
These are some of the steps that
must be taken to prepare the Negro
for his full participation in national
and international affairs, and to
make him equal and capable of as
Stunning a position of real manhood,
dignity and ready for unity with all
forces that strive for common OBJ
jectives. These things would make
the Negro fully man and entitled
to full share in the struggle and in
the gains in the final victory.

Shall. WE MUzzLE OUR NEWSPAPERS?
BY G. w. JACKSON IN THE
LOUISVILLE DEFENDER

The interesting columnist, Dan
Gardner, takes to task the folks
who criticize Negro newspapers for
publishing articles about crimes
committed by Negroes. Gardner
says that most of these critics are
social workers, ministers, lawyers,
doctors, society people, and others
identified with our professional
groups. We are strongly of the
opinion that the following things
are true of Negro newspapers and
their publishers, managers and
editors:
1. The publication of a paper is
a vocation with the owner, manager
or editor. This means that it is his
means of subsistence; the source of
bread and meat for himself and
family; fundamental factor in de-
termining his policy as a news
paperman.
2. A significant per cent Of the
people relish crime news. Human
nature is responsible for that. Ad-
venture, mystery, super-achieve-
ment, "the low down." the scoop,
marital obliquity, crime, appeal to
folks.
8. The Negro newspaperman,
like the radio station operator, has
learned that coverage is both de-
sired and profitable. He knows that
among human beings there are
many classes and tastes. So he
gives sports news for those who
like sports; court news for those
who relish court news; crime
articles for those who have a ready
appetite for such news; and re-
ligious, political, cultural, business,
race achievement, society, and
trivial news in the same way.
a. It is a part of his philosophy
that people who do not want I'M
savory publicity should walk in the
straight and narrow path.
5. He has respect for the repu-
tation and feelings of his friends
and the big Negroes, but he cannot
quite see how the elimination of
crime news from his paper would

is not to tell you of all the Mime
sofa people that I see but to re-
fleet that there will be a time in
the future that many Twin City
men (and women) will be return
ing from places away, to Mime
sofa. Many are not in the armed
forces and it is the proposed policy
of the War Department and citi-
zenry that We maintain a larger
force of reserve armed personnel.
1t is my opinion that we should
consider now for the future in re-
spect to a colored National Guard
unit in the Twin Cities. If We do
not have a separate colored unit
then some active provision should
be made to permit the returning
veterans to integrate with the al
ready standing federally supported
National Guard units.
Ten years ago l went to the Ma
tional Guard headquarters in St.
Paul to join the unit. They told me
that they would not take me in
alone but that if 1 could get eight
others they would start a colored
squad. A number of US got to-
gether namely Lee Harris, Emanuel
Roseby, Marion Roseby, John
Houser and myself but not the pro-
scribed number so nothing came
of it.
Your paper has always stood for
full participation of the Negro in
publicly supported activities, that
is why I am writing you now about
the role of colored Minnesotans in
the federally supported National
Guard that will be formed when we,
in the armed forces, return home.
Maybe We can get the ball rolling
now before the dye is cast and does
not include US colored Minnesotans.

Demands On the Democrats
BY Geo. L. Lee

Significant was the meeting of
Negro Democrats from sixteen
States who gathered in Washing
ton, D. c., last week and were ad-
dressed by National Chairman Rob-
ert E. Hannegan.
There was an ominous note in
the assertion of their spokesman,
Emmett S. Cunningham of Detroit
that "When Negroes came into the
Democratic party they did not
make any marriage vows to stick
until death do US part the
Democratic party, as such, has
never been sold to the Negroes"
These Negro Democrats said
frankly that they want more pa
tronage, higher appointments, a
permanent FEPC, an anti-poll tax
law, social security expansion, pub
lie housing and an end to discrim-
nation in the Armed Forces, or
else.
Chairman Hannegan was quick to
agree that the Democratic party
"owes an obligation to those who
worked for the election of the ticket
last fall and is going to meet it."
This is the attitude we like to see
Negro politicians adopt.
It shows manliness and political
acumen.
A political party's friendliness
and gratitude is only to be meas
ured by the amount of patronage
it gives to it's supporters and by the
extent to which it enacts the legis-
lation it's followers want.
With the crucial 1915 elections
coming up, the Democratic margin
in both houses of Congress is too
narrow to permit any indifferences
toward the Negro voters on the
part of the Misunderstanding

full practice of disregarding the in
stitution of marriage and putting
male and female relationships on a
basis of "free love" or so-called
common law" marriages. In this
way, children can have parental
respect and hope in the future
based on the protection of family
hearth built on firm foundations.
AS it is, countless thousands of
Negro children are being brought
into the world through common
law" marriages and free love" re-
lationships who will start out in life
with two strikes already called up
on them because of their hazy par
entail background.
Over-sensitiveness Bad
No. 2 on the program should be
education against the severe case
of over-sensitiveness with which,
it seems, the entire race is acutely
suffering.
We cannot go far if our people,
regardless of what has happened to
them in the South at the hands OF
white people, go through life with
the racial chip on their shoulders.
Too many outbursts of violence
between the races are coming about
today because agitation among the
masses has dangerously incensed
people to hate all white faces and
to disregard good manners, COM
mon decency and even to violate
the law to make white people I'M
comfortable.
The sooner Negroes are taught
that this is their native land and
that it holds as much promise for
them as for anybody else, the bet
ter off we will be. Then we may
see an end to the sordid examples
of over-sensitiveness on the race
question that has the entire nation
sitting on a powder key.
Understanding in Dixie

ganda, pro and con, contempt, ha-
tired constantly famed by both
those who are sincere and those who
operate for a point, have played a
tremendous role in wedging apart
the Negro and the Southern white
man. The Negro Problem is mostly
in the South. The white man rules
the South. The issue is plain. Both
Negro and Southern white man
know each other better than whites
and Negroes from other sections of
the land. But the Negro and the
Southern white man won't get to-
gether ever so long as the barrage
of propaganda is continued confus-

is this: The Southern white man
has refused to recognize the Negro
as complete human being and the
Negro has avoided making a bold
fight for what is rightfully his.

Editor: l again take my pen in

It is very amusing how your

excoriate the Southern Congress-
men for joining with the reprobate
Republicans, or maybe it should be
vice versa, in defeating anything
that appears to be for the benefit
of the Negro, and yet when these
same undesirable Congressman go
along with the racketeers, of which
there are many in the New Deal,
and when the voters of the South
always vote for the racketeering
New Deal, it is all right.
Perhaps I should leave out the
racketeering as to New Dealers,
and put it the other way. When
these undesirable citizens of the
South, including their Congress
men, give overwhelming majorities
to the New Deal, they are as well
come as the flowers in May. I have
never heard any criticism by you
or your correspondent in this re-
gard, but when once these same
citizens or Congressman join with
the Republicans then they are ter
rible, and the answer is not that
if the people of the South were al
lowed to vote they would be all
right, because the people who vote
for these undesirable Congressman
are the same people who vote al

of vision have driven the Negro voters
from the Republican party. By collabora
