Historians and BiograP Pliers Have Had Busy Year

y Cdl
pears more formally in Giant in
Gray" biography by Manly
Wade Wellman. 1t is an excellent
biography Of the leader who fol-
lowed Stuart as Lees cavalry
commander. On Lee there is "The
Robert E. Lee Reader" edited by
Stanley F. Horn. The purpose is
to present, from many pens. q
full-length portrait Of the great
commander, and the goal is
achieved.
On the Union side there is an
excellent study of the war by
Kenneth p. williams, Indiana
University mathematician. who
has comprehensive knowledge of
warfare in general and this war
in particular. The title-"Lin-
coin Finds General"-sets the
theme. The present two volumes
-four are planned-covers the
campaigns in the East up to the
arrival of Grant.
Helen Nicolay's =
'Lincoln's Secretary
Naturally, most of the narra-
tive is given over to the incredible
Mcclellan. There is praise for
Lincoln as a commander when he
and Stanton took over general di-
rection Of operations when Nc
Clellan finally got out Of WASH
ington to direct-one hesitates to
say fight-the Peninsular cam
paign.
Another contribution to Lincoln
lana is Miss Helen Nicolay's Lin
coins Secretary" a biography Of
her father. The picture she gives
of Lincoln and Of Washington Of
Civil War days is only part of the
story, all of which is delight to
read.
Going back to pre-Civil War
days is Charles M. Wiltse's dis
tinguished biography Of John G.
Calhoun. The current volume is
the second of q three-yolume life.
It does belated justice to man
who had one of the best minds Of
his time but who. with the bit
terness Of the war. was reviled as
the chief nullifier.
Another distinguished work IS
! Samuel Flagg Bemis' John
Quincy Adams and the Founda-
tions of American Foreign Pol
ICY" He gives Adams an impor-
tant share in the formulation Of
the Monroe Doctrine. But what is
of even more Importance may be
realized from an inspection of the
big map of the United States the
Interior Department gets out,
marking the boundaries of our
country at various periods. There
is hardly a line there that Adams
did not have some share in draw
ing.
Other Biographies
Of Special Interest
There are other biographies
which are not so ambitious, but
which make quite pleasant and
interesting reading. An example
is Katharine Anthony's life Of
Dolly Madison. whose feminine
touch softened the harsh outlines
Of early Washington and some Of
its political Inhabitants.
The years harvest is enriched
by three distinguished books oi
the past. A new edition Of H. Ct
Wells ''The Outline Of History
was published this fall. carrying
through World War II the ac-
count first published In 1920. Be-
fore his death in 1916 the mar
who made history q best seller
had outlined several new sections
of his work. These have beer
completed by Raymond Potsgate.
There are many other books
which make profitable reading
but a discussion of them is denied
by considerations Of space. But
there are a few books on figure.
of modern times which should bs
noted. One is .The Great Pier.
pont Morgan" by the always
readable Frederick Lewis Allen

ston Churchill's Their Finest
Hour" from its rolling sonorous
first line to the end, is a great
book.
Mr.. Churchill may engage in
some after-the-event rationaliza-
ton, but the impression is that if
this is so, it is held to minimum.
After all, the decisions were dis
cussed in the cabinet and the
British governments rule of writ
ten memoranda and reports writes
history as it is made much more
than with us.
Mr.. Churchill's works have the
advantage of exhibiting to the
reader Of the future one of the
great weapons of the war he de-
scribes. That weapon is the one
he forged of the English Ian
guage. He marshaled it's words
and deployed it's cadences. His
phrasing of his and the English
speaking peoples determination to
win put steel into their resistance
in adversely and ardor in their
assaults when the time came to
launch them.

Indignation Comes,
What of Racial Pride

DETROIT - amp - When w.
H. Aiken, president of the National
Builders association, told delegates
at the recent MIA convention that
if Negroes accept complete integra-
ton they would probably have to
give up race pride it started a lot
of people to thinking.
He said. with indignation, the
old crutch of race pride upon which
many of us have leaned these many
years will have to be discarded. We
can achieve success only through
training and preparation, and dill
gent application of our personal ca
pacities. t3Gt'
MANY Negro enterprises have
been instituted, developed and eX-
banded to great success leaning sole
ly upon race pride" ..,.
What many people are wondering
is if we ever come into the full
realization of democracy at work,
which means complete Indignation,
then where does race pride go? Mr..
Aiken sets us to wondering.
Numerous foreign groups such as
the Irish, Italians, Germans, and
others have come to America and in
tegrated themselves into the cul-
ture, yet have maintained parts of
theirown native cultures, too. How
the Negro will fare in an integrated
society, only time and the future
will determine. .5... t-

Preacher Who Sold
Lucky Numbers
Gives A Good Number
At Funeral Home

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Numbers
players in Harlem, who have reput-
eddy spent thousands of dollars try
ing To buy a lucky number from the
late Rev. Z. T. Filler, last week pick
up on a good one for free and caught
plenty of good labor day money.
What the players used were num-
bers from the funeral parlor in
which Rev Filters funeral services
We're held (22SN) Seventh ave) the
number came out S24.
Various street collectors who take
bets already are fearful of what may
happen if two other numbers con-
nected with the dead preacher catch
too. Everybody's now playing 1873
and III because he lived at 1873 L.
117th st. Some of them are refusing
bets on the hot" numbers, and are
asking local newspapers not to print
them. They say, You see this is a
race situation. The White boys in
control of the big stuff can stand a
solid hit but we can't"
The winning number from the fun
eral home bets was S24, with quite
number of suckers" making
hit.
Rev. Fifer fell to his death three
weeks ago when he tried to escape
from a womans third floor apart
ment throughout the window after
hearing the doorpeIl ring. 1t took
two weeks for his sister-in-law and
friends to scrape up enough money
to bury him although his is alleged
to have collected about SIS 900 dur
ing the past two years. He was quite
popular for his numbers "tips"
which he sold to the thousands of
players in Harlem, despite the city's
anti-gambling law. Spectators at his
funeral got a bunch that the num-
bers at the funeral parlor might be
lucky, and passed the word around.

Youth Council Held Fla.
NAACP 5th Annual Meet

Florida NAACP Youth Councils
held their 5th Annual Meeting in st.
Petersburg, August 1928. Sessions
through Saturday were held at
. Travellers Rest Baptist Church, Rev.
baltimore, pastor; while the Sunday
mass meeting was held at Second
Bethel Baptist Church, Rev. E.
Davis, pastor.
Although the approaching hurri-
cane seriously affected the atten-
dance, delegates from six of Flori-
da's twelve youth councils were pres
emit During the local program Fri
day night words of welcome were
offered by J. A. Whitehurst, presi-
dent Of the Senior Branch, by Rev.
baltimore of the Ministerial ALI
ance, by Dean James A. Bond, coun-
ty supervisor of Negro schools, and
by Khaye Phrances, Dennard of the
st. Petersburg Youth Council. The
browning feature of this session was
the annual address by Henry Finley
of Florida youth councils. Immedi-
ately after the local program the st.
Petersburg Council entertained the
delegates and friends at the Recrea-
ton Center.
Discussions centered around the
general theme, citizenship For
Our Times Topics for discussion
were: l. THE Right To Citizenship
And It's Privileges" and 2. "Our
Duties AS Citizens of Tomorrow"
The point was emphasized that the
NAACP has done magnificent job
during the past 40 years in winning
for Negroes the right to vote, the
right to serve on juries, and other
rights of first-class citizenship. But
with every right and privilege there
is a corresponding duty and respon-
sibility. We must now teach our
people to make the best use of these
glorious opportunities.
Another interesting discussion de-
Veloped Saturday when someone
mentioned the fact that Ex-Governor
Caldwell had won $500 in his suit
against Golfers Magazine and had
sent $4,000 of this to Florida A. and
NJ. College for Negroes. The dele
gates expressed the opinion that this
should not be considered a gift to
the Negroes of Florida, because +.
ND iS ND N.
Grated by the State. This money,
therefore, should be regarded as
contributions to the State Govern
ment, and not as a gift to its Negro
citizens.
1t was further pointed out that IL
Mr.. Caldwell really wanted to help
correct the great wrong done in the
lynehing of Jesse James Payne. he
could have made a contribution to
Paynes poor widow and daughter.
AS a means of getting more youth
councils and college chapters organ
lied, the Conference voted to divide
the state into six regions, following
the same division used by the Senior
branches. Tallahassee, Jacksonville.
Orlando, st. Petersburg, West Palm
Beach, and Pompano were named
headquarters for their respective re-
gions.
The Conference closed with a mass
meeting Sunday afternoon, when
Atty. w. A. Fordham Of Tampa de-
Iivered the principal address. The
next meeting will be held in West
Palm Beach.
