rying an article captioned as
above is worth reading by Ne
groes and whites. The effect the
article may have on the indus
trialists of the south is now a
conjecture. The way pointed out
to save the Negro and poor
whites to the south is sane though
heroic.
With the coming of labor-sav-
ing machines, 1t appears that cot
ton and rice, the blood life of
practically 20 per cent of south
ern laborers, white and black,
will leave fully so per cent of
that number without employment.
Such an innovation will reyolu-
tionize the entire social life of
the south.

authors of the article, Samuel II.

from its lethargy and become. a
formidable rival of the industrial

will not relish the loss of 5 mil

extend them a welcome hand.

SOUTHERN GOVERNORS
TO DISCUSS REGIONAL
EDUCATIONAL PLAN

OKLAHOMA CITY. = What to
do about Negro education in the
light of the Gaines decision by
the Gaines decision by the U. s.
Supreme Court and the realiza-
ton on the part of southern edu-
Gators that they are going to
have to meet it's provisions Or at
least make some effort to do so,
is the most important question
which came before the Southern
Governors conference held at
New Orleans Dec, 7-S.
Gov. Robert 5. Kerr, chairman
of the group and remembered as
keynoter of the Democratic Ma
tional convention in Chicago in
1914, said the plan which a num-
Der of them had in mind was to
develop a school in one field OF
higher education for Negroes in
one state, letting students from
other states having separate
schools attend on a basis of re-
ciprocity. other states would ar
range schools in other fields,
thus avoiding the enormous cost
of any given state trying to de-
velop graduate schools in va
riety of fields.
EDITORS NOTE: With all that
has been said or may be in the
future regarding our dual educa-
tional system in the South, those
in high places are beginning to
realize that a solution must be
found to the conditions facing the
present world and the people In
ii. The governors of the states
mostly effected present by theil
coming together that they by this
indicate that there is hope in the
near future. The meeting may moi
accomplish all but it really is

Sam II. Jones and James Aswell
is true the time is propitious to

that million Negroes in the

what is its purpose? Why should

What is the difference in law in
a mans home and his place of
business? 1t seems to me that the
colored people of Seattle should
demand that you get from the
Attorney General of the State an
opinion on the whole problem of
search warrants, particularly as
related to defense against vio-
lence, in a mans home. and in
his place of business. entirely
separate from his castle.
l am at a loss to believe that
Moszee was right in demanding
search warrant in the hands of

tack on a citizen under the cir
cumstances indicated In your ar
ticles.
| am pleased with the use by
Johnson of two words. In his ar,
ticle, "stubbornness" and stu
pidity'. And, a policeman has no
right to be stupid. He is paid
sufficient wage to warrant the
taxpayer in expecting and de-
handing something more than
stupidity" Maybe a oclored man
has a right" to be stubborn.
Most of US are stubborn whether
we know 1t or not.

OF VICTORY

1.-The responsibility of victory"
At first hearing that sounds like
one of the catch phrases adopted
by the campaign orators, phrase
that rolls so easily from the lips
that we overlook its meaning.
But it is very much more than
that. The responsibility of victory
means that upon the victor lies
the twin burden of making and
keeping the peace.
The victor not only has the
task of cleaning up the rubble Of
war, but of building anew. To this
