WHAT IS YOUR DUTY?
by Ruth ToyIor

Duty is an oIdfoshioned word but all the modern
sophstries won't wpt it out. This country grew up
copy book sayings and it reached its heights under
who had had thoroughly dinned into them the plain home
y virtues of loyalty honesty and integrity and the per-
sonoI application of these to their community life.
We have wandered far and have too often taken
rights as privileges We must go back to the Proverbs
to the simple statements of right and wrong.
Righteousness exoteth nation; but sin in a re-
prooch to any people"
HE that justifieth the wicked and he that condemn
eth the just, they both obomnotion to the
Lord"
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when
he is DID, he will not depart from it,"
"Buy the truth and sell it not get wisdom and in
structon and understanding"
HE that hath no rule over his spirit is like city
thot is broken down and without woIIs"
"They that forsoke the Iow praise the wicked, but
such as keep the law contend with them"
Only by setting up Bill of Duties for ourselves can
we observe the spirit we'll the letter of the Bill of
Rights How we'll do you know this charter of liber
ties? Read it over carefully and turn it's clauses into
inverse ratio Free press free to speok the truth but not
free to make false statements Free assembly, to be
used to overthrow the but for free and friend
y discussion FREEDOM worship but not to keep anyone
else from worshping And so Each freedom that is
given carries with it its duty restriction which effects
each mans conduct toward his neighbour
Only as we carry out all the obligations of our Bill of
Duties are we entitled to the privileges Of Bill of
Rights.

DURHAM, N. C. -(NNPA)-
The North Carolina College has
been selected by the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching to take part in a
five-year experimental program of
grant-aids to promote research and
creative activity among faculty
members.
The experiment, which allows
the institution to spend $4,000
over a period of five years, is
designed to discover the value
Of providing to certain Universities
and colleges fund for grants in
aid to the Institutional staff. I'm
til recently colored schools were
not included in the plan.
The college is called upon to
provide $4,000 to match $4,000
that will be allowed by the founda-
ton. This gives the Durham in
stitution the privilege of spend
ing $4,000 annually with one-ffth
of the amount coming from school
funds.
The plan furth provides that
the colleges focus of attention
be the vitalization of teachers and

Theatre Sued AS
Negroes Denied
Entrance

WASHINGTON D. C. - A suit
challenging the right of the Nat
ional Theatre to deny admission
! to colored persons was filed in
the Municipal Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia last Wednes-
day.
Two other suits were filed in
the Small Claims Court seeking
refund of money with which tic
kets wer purchased for mixed
parties of white and colored per-
sons who were denied admission
to the theatre.
The suit filed in the Municipal
Court raises the question of whe-
Their the Civil Rights Act of 1875
is still in effect insofar as the
DiDstrict of Columbia is concern
ed.
DR.. Edwin B. Henderson head
of the department. of physical ed
ucation in divisions 10 to 13 (col-
ored) of the local public schools
and chairman of the Committee
for Racial Democracy, is the
plaintiff in the Municipal Court
suit.
He ask damages of $500 from
the theatre for its refusal to adj
NIT him solely for the reason
that he is colored. He asserts
that the Civil Rights Act of 1875
was for the reason that he is col
ored. He asserts that the Civil
Rights Acts of 1875 was violated.
In a statement issued last We'd
nesday the Committee for Racial
Democracy said it believes that
the law long consistered dead, is
applicable to the District of Col
umbia and instructed it's consel
to seek denomination of the 81
year old statute.
The Civil Rights Act was de-
clared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court Octorber Is, 1888,
on the ground that Congress had
no power to passsuch legislation
for the government of the states.
The court, however, said the Con-
gress did have the authority to
enact such a law for the District
of Columbia and federal territory
including the high seas.
Until 1913 the Civil Rights
Law was considered to be in eff
feet in the District of Columbia,
but in that year, in the Butts
case, involving race discriminat-
ion on a trip on a boat between
Boston and Norfolk, the Supreme
Court held the law inapplicable to
the high seas and federal terri
tory. This decision was based an
a technicallity.
The Commute for Racial De-
mocracy maintains that since the
issue of the applicability of the
law to the District of Columbia
was not before the caourt, it did
not directly pass on that question.

ALCORNITIES, AWAKE!

Former students and graduates
Of Alcorn College are rallying
to the challenge issued in this
column two weeks ago to Alcorn-
tiles to do something about the
situation existing at the instit-
ution. At the 7th District Tea

took the floor to rally the "Old

time, he solicited the cooperation
of all citizens to join in a cam
paign to cease criticising and
start working for Alcorn's inn
provement.
Editor Green focused the spot
light on Alcorn, bringing down a

come later. It is to be hoped that
an articulate and active alumni
will develop to continue the fight
for a better Alcorn.
Several Alcornites have raised

Admiral William r. Halsey as COM

ance which will be the subject of
discussion and controversy for many
years. Was Admiral Halsey too
eager to get the northern attack
force which approached his feet off
Luzon? In~ his eagerpess did he
commit cardinal sin in leaving
San Bernardino Strait unguarded?
(Vice Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid,
who fought the Battle of Surigao

was protecting IT'D Or did he fol-
low the proper course in leaving the
strait on the basis of the informa-
ton he had at the time, namely,
aviators' reports of. severe damage
to the Central Attack Force, which
came through San Bernardino
Strait, and of evidence that the JapS
had given up the attempt to break
through?
1t is significant that Admiral Hal
sey's retirement came almost stimuli
taneously with publication of this
book, which does not deal too rough
ly with him, although it pulls no
punches as to the facts.

According to Mr.. Hindtls, Czecho-

not choose to cast her lot with those
nations that look to Russia for sta

breath, however, he wants all to

be shared with the world, he says,
and all the nations OF Europe will
be blessed thereby.
Much Is made of Munich and the
terrors the Czechs endured at the

says the western powers are in no
position to guarantee peace in the
future, thinks Germany Is still q

by the change Of front displayed by
the United States in regard to loans
since the military alliance with
Russia. He AYERS that the curtail-

this change.
Russian born and himself writer,
it seems strange that Mr.. Hindus
should profess to find it difficult to
understand how the press of Amer

time -honored process of explaining

he knows that the press of the

told much the same way an ac-

recall his Russian experiences-the
difficulty in taking bath, the casual
inefficiency of the Passport Bureau

BY Robert Standish. (Macmil-
Ian; S3)
The central figure in this story of
the West Indies is John On Loong,
son of Chinese laundryman on
Newcastle Island, widowed when
John was born. With the death OF
the honest laundryman, 12-year- old
John is left alone. Unhappy at the
school to which the kindly British
governor sends him, John runs away
to sea and is taken under the guild
ance of Pierre Lorillard, French cap
tain of trading ship. Pierre be-
comes in time like a father to the
Chinese boy.
John eventually takes over Pierre's S
business, and 1t prospers. Mean
while John becomes something of
the scholar his father wanted him
to be. His love affair with Laurette,
daughter of Pierre and Pierre's mis-
tress, Julie, results in the birth of
a son. John is eager to marry
Laurette, but she runs away with a
weather. man.
Years later she returns to him.
The narrative has many intervening
twists.
Mr.. Standish has written an alb
sorbing story. His most successful
character is the skipper, Pierre, at
least in his earlier development.
Later Pierre displays occult powers
for no discoverable reason, since
he seemed g. stronger personality
in the beginning. John enlists ready
sympathy and holds it, but he be-
comes too perfect for a muddled
world-the author virtually cano-
nizes him in the course of the
