exaggerated and often wholly in
vented tales of crime on the part
of naturally peaceful and sweet
tempered race.
The election laws passed in the
State where three fourths of the
Negroes live were so ingeniously
framed that a black University
graduate could be prevented from
voting and the most ignorant
white hoodlum could be admitted
to the polls.
Labor laws were so arranged
that Imprisonment for debt was
possible and leaving an employer
could be made penitentiary Of
Tense. Negro schools were cut off
with small appropriations or
wholly neglected, and deter
mined effort was made to see
that no Negro had any voice Ell

tional law.
In recent years several Negro
Congressman have been instru-
mental in trying to introduce an
Anti-Lynch bill in Congress, but
so far Southern Filibusters have
effectively blocked its passage.

and injustices, Negroes are march,

unions, many of which can not
even join, both white and black,
seeking a chance to expect and
receive at least a fair wage com
mensurate with the American sys-
TEN and way of life.
1t is needless for me to go into
the individual progress made by
many people through certain out
standing names recorded in his
tory but it is important when we
take the overall picture as it
presents Itself throughout the ma
ton. The spread of the dual sys-
TEN of government without, its
great cost to the taxpayers, is
rapidly approaching the most Sc
rious proportions of disrupting
the real foundation of our coun-
try. The Negro population does
not merit such drastic changes
neither for what they have ac
complished nor failed to do, be
ing only 10 per cent of the
whole.
The fight should not come from
the pens of Negro writers but
from those whose powers reach
almost every home in the land,
even the homes of more than 10
million Negro readers. Our pa.
pers reach only those of the race
able and willing to pay for, in
most cases, a paper not published
locally, that is rather a hard job
to many. But all local papers are
read by them; because they are
Americans. The news eoYerage
for Negro papers seldom are Civ
en- or even sold to Negro papers
with the result that there is no
way to reach the white readers,
through inter-exchange the true
facts of any given subject. There
is only one side of any case
placed before the readers. How
can this be remodeled?
Negro citizens of every com
munity feel keenly the misdeeds
of members of their race and only
ask that fairness before the bar
of justice is adhered to without
regards to their color or condi-
ton. They abhor segregation OF
any kind in the way of living or
otherwise and sectionalism. No
American city should be built up
on such a theory and all sections
should be equal in health, educa-
tional fitness, etc.
We as Americans can not long
endure with skid roads and slums
in our cities. The country has
overgrown the idea of the under
privileged child or groups. Pies
sure groups from any source for
selfish reasons should have no

bring myself to believe that it is
the majority opinion that Negroes
should be the brunt of all CAN'Ts
and DONTs in the laws in the
northern states. In the South
there are none other but it does
not take much figuring to show
that with those laws the south
now finds itself at the very bot
tom of the financial ladder thru
its dual system and were it not
for northern capital now financ-
ing all business there, India would
be comparable with New YORK

NEGRO IN POLITICS

of Southern effort by actual force
to deprive Negroes of the ballot
or nullify its use. This last was
what actually happened. But even
in this case, so much energy was
taken in keeping Negroes rom vot-
ing that the plan for keeping
them in virtual slavery and deny
ing them an education partially
failed.
The steps toward the fifteenth
amendment were taken slowly.
First Negroes were allowed to
take part in the reconstruction of
the State Governments. This was
inevitable if legal Governments
We're to be obtained. Next the
restored State Governments were
directed to enfranchise all citi-
zens, white or black, or have their
representatives in Congress cut
down proportionately.
For such reasons the Negro was
enfranchised. What was the re-
suit? No language has been spared
to describe these results as the
worst imaginable. This is not true.
There were some bad results aris-
ing from the White South dill
gently striving to make the exper-
iment of Negro suffrage a dismal
failure, and almost to a man the
whites were willing to insure this
failure either by active force or
passive nOn-support.
The chief charges against Negro
rule were extravaganza, theft and
incompetence of officials. There
were no serious charges that
these Negroes threatened ciViliza-
ton or the foundation of the So
cial order. Some of the Negroes
lead by astute white thieves did
receive some of the spoils, but
much of the legislation which re-
suited in fraud was represented
to Negroes as good legislation and
thus their votes We're secured by
deliberate misrepresentation.
In the midst of these difficulties
the Negro Governments in the
South did much of positive good;
we may recognize three things
which Negro rule gave to the
South % Democratic Govern
ment; (2) Free public schools (S)
New social legislation.
Negroes obeyed the constitution
of the United States and annulled
the bands of states, counties, and
cities which had been issued to
carry on the rebellion and main
tain armies against the Union.
Negroes established a public
school system in a realm where
public schools had been unknown.
They opened the ballot box and
the jury box to thousands of white
men who had been debarred from
them by a lack of earthly posses
sions. They introduced home rule
in the South, abolished the whip
ping posts, branding irons, the
other forms of barbarous punish
ment which up to that time pre-
vailed. They reduced capital fell
onies from about twenty to three
In an age of extravaganza Ne
gro legislators were eXtravagant
in the sums appropriated for pub
lie works. In all of the eight years
Negroes were in power no mans
rights of person were invaded I'M

life, home and business, were safe.

Rehabilitation Facilities
For Disabled 10 Be Studied

An overall study of rehabilitation
facilities for physically handicapped
persons will soon be undertaken by
a committee representing several
Federal agencies, the Retaining
and Unemployment Administration
of the Labor Department an
nounced today.
Set up to canvass the entire
field of disabilities" the group, es-
tablished by Marine Maj. Gen.
Graves B. Erskine, head of the ad-
ministration, will consider problems
of both eX-servicemen and non
veterans.
Only about 80 per cent of disabled
veterans can effect complete read
justment through existing facilities,
and the others need special treat
ment for training and job opportu-
mites, spokesman said. At the
same time, the program is designed
to recommend improved facilities
for disabled war workers and other
civilian casualties.
Representatives of the Depart
ments of Agriculture, Labor, and
Commerce, the Federal Security
Agency and the Veterans Admins
tration have been asked to serve
on the committee.
