REGISTRATION, PRIME REQUISITE OF
CONSTRUCTIVE CITIZENSHIP
BY J. A. (Jack) JOHNSON

The s0th Congress of the United
States, and the first Republican
congress in nearly sixteen years
has adjourned and headed for
Philadelphia for the opening of
the Republican National Conven-
ton.
The Congress has steadfastly
refused to pass Civil Rights
Bill, bill to outlaw poll taxes
to curb lynching and to prevent
racial discrimination. The refusal
to pass these bills again leaves
the minority groups of the nation
to still tread in unknown paths
of uncertainty with no assurance
along the way, no promise of
safe exit from the troubles and
struggles which have been and
are still ahead of us.
If there is reason in the
world why we who believe in
equality of opportunity should
hesitate to take steps to remedy
this prevailing condition it is be-
yond the ingenuity of this writer's
mind.
We can remedy this condition
only by registering and being
ready to cast our votes in the COM
ing fall campaign. Even If by any
possibility the adjourning Congress
did right we will neither be able
to say yes or no If we are not
registered do so at once. 1t is
in all sincerity, If you are not
Registered do so at once. 1t is
our only hope to eventually re-
move these deadly thorns from
our path.
