BASEMENT SHOPPING FOR
POLITICAL GOODS

194e promises to be a good
year for political shopping. Our
race viii have to keep all eyes
and ears wide open. Often the
goods offered shoppers are shod-
dy with markdown tags. Our
race has paid too dearly for all
our bargains. We have always
had to pay too much and too
dearly. We have been taken in
by fiattery, promises, scraps
from the rich mans table. This
is election year and we must not
be taken in by all the praise the
sales clerks give their own goods.
We must know values for our
selves. We must know exactly
what we want and not become
weary in its quest.
All politicians should be in
formed before we listen to any
of their fair promises that tan
Americans are shopping for
nothing short of First Glass Am
erican Citizenship. In other
words, we are shopping for
something we have never had.
Let's turn a deaf ear to the
salesman who offers something
Just as good-and cheaper. Poll
ticians have a way during cleo
ton year Of offering imitation
goods bearing the trade mark,
they say, of that best of all
Americans and the great Eman-
cipator of the colored people,
Abraham Lincoln. This year we
can honor our good father, Abe
Lincoln best, by loving the
things he loved and not being
satisfied with anything short Of
their standard. This world is in
a state Of fiux. If we are ever go
ing o be free now is the time
to serve notice to all the par
ties and candidates that our bal
lot is going to be cast for those
who actively work with US for
the complete fulflllment Of our
dream American citizens enjoy
ing all the privileges of this land
as well as carrying all its re-
Sponsibihties.
The hour has come when we
must be firm in our demands
and not Sidetracked by being
told Of some juicy plum hanging
low for some able colored man,
provided we can keep quiet. If
ever there were a seasonable
time to call a halt to segrega-
ton, discrimination, jim crow
ism, - lynching, humiliation in
the nations capital, it is now.

THINKS CRITIsM SHOULD

THINKS CRITISM SHOULD

To the Editor of The Guardian:
The truths set forth in "O'Ban-

are worthy of careful considera-
tion-and emulation.
He writes: when mankind be-
comes brotherhood, there will
be no more knocks, no more dis

Constructive critism has its
place in our scheme Of things. But
what is very astonishing and per-
picking, is the change of heart of
many patrons who attend a per

Enthusiastically and then a few days
later, allow their judgment to be
swayed by a review in the press.
Reviewers, those who know
their business, are respected for
their knowledge. 1t is expected
that they are aware of the chal-
longing effect a boost has upon
an artist. But, alas! too often the
reviewer usurps the prerogatives
of the teacher who plugs" with
his pupils, taking them through
studies that are designed to rem
edy their faults an dhring out the
best that's in them. After ardu-
GUS preparation-oftimes at great
sacrifcesthe scholar, or artist,
apears in concert fully aware Of
his or her achievements and the
work that's still ahead. Their per-
Torrance is hailed by their
friends and wellwishers. Much
encouragement is given. Where

our friend O'Banyoun does, the
reviewer with his mightier than
the sword weapon deserts his
reviewing roll and assumes that

The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1948-01-17

Preparations are going on
apace fortlse coming program
and banquet which viii be ten
dered Florence Heggie Taylor, at
Peoples Baptist Church. It is
seldom that a congregation
turns aside to give rnerited ac-
knowledgement Of the service Of
some officer. Being a booster,
myself, am all for boosting
every person and everything
that is commendable. I know Of
no person who is more deserving
of the applause of the public,
not only the Church which en-
ploys her, than that same Flor
ence Heggie TTaylor. And, it so
happens that. although she has
served faithfully and successful
ly, more years than I dare to
tell, in many different Church,
es, this is the first time that she
has been threatened with any
thing like the gratitude of the
public, and she feels it as any
one might imagine she would.
