few paltry shekels of the moment.
The time is out when profanity must
be tail to fly the Negroes dra-
matte kite. Profanity is no part of
drama.
MONEY TO SPURN
The times are few and far be-
tween when Mississippi can be fAv-
orally heard from on the matter
of race relations. The shadows Of
Bilbo hang about this curse-ridden
state like a pail of wickedness about
Sodom and Gomorroh Of ancient
days. Now comes the highly dra.
matte news that a little bankrupt
school, Jefferson Military college,
has refused $50, 100000 rather then
accept the doctors dictum to teach
the fallacious doctrines Of white su-
premacy. If any thing were needed
to prove the world is getting better
we have it in this historic refusal.
When the honorable trustees of JEFF
ferson refused $4,000, 900 in the
hour of extremity, it is sufficient
proof that principle stands pretty
high on their schedule of values.
If this can be done is Mississippi.
it can be done anywhere for long
has Mississippi and Georgia been
known or looked upon as the Gall.
lee of the South or the Nazareth
thereof. But Georgia refuses to vote
DiXiecratic and now Mississippi
gives the nation and the world one
of the finest examples of Christian
integrity this goth century has
known. When jefferson college re-
fuses to bend the knee to the Ball
of the dollar, it becomes a blessing
to all mankind, jefferson college
could we'll close its doors, for in its
refusal of a sinking fortune, it sets
an, example of righteousness that is
beyond compare. jefferson becomes
a benefactor of mankind. jefferson
College has immortalized itself and
whether it lives or dies its place IN
history has been made secure. The
little struggling bankrupt college

1. Precept and Example demand
heavy price, but without them in
leadership wholesome results are as
uncertain as fling of gamblers

2. Men in high office both in
church and state are expected to
prove faithful and produce at high
rate.
8. To the world they are an example
and represent in some measure the
high order of God. and should think
in terms of uplift and never stoop
to fraud.
4. If Gods will is to "be done in
earth as it is in heaven" leaders
must be honest and true and not by
money driven.
S. Youth takes example from big
men, and if their practices are un-
clean, the prospects for better
world begin to sag and lean.
6. Honesty in public office seems
almost a thing of the past how
can justice and mercy get look in,
as long as such as this lasts?
Z. If our educated youth is to offer
the world more than is now being
passed around, then must they
choose to follow Christ the only
exemplar whose principles are def
nitely sound.
s. Everything else by trial and
test has been proven a decided fail
ure, but this last real way that
too many have passed is the one Of
which Christ is the author.

itself and bring remorse to its ILL

SELLING THE NEGRO SHORT

Too long have the press and
stage sold the Negro short on the
curb of public opinion, it is regret
table that anybody should sell the
Negro short and it becomes tragic
to see Negroes selling themselves
short, and at times for a very small
mess of pottage we sell the birth
right Of the race. When whites
would sell us short we rave and
weep and gnash the teeth and cry
murder" but too often when Ne
groes sell Negroes short, we treat
the matter as something funny.
Recently Anna Lucasta, a comedy
from broadway, came to Richmond
for one night stand. 1t was time
co appear during the state meeting
or the teachers association when
some 5000 Negro teachers from dis
tant parts Of the state would be
present for tn offering. The &C.
casion distant parts Of the state
would be present for the offering.
The occasion was ripe for a presen-
tation of something ennobling and
inspiring. There was an opportuni.
ty to give the race lift. Instead we
were treated to a fine cast, with a
vehicle for its talents that did not
convey what was most inspiring.
Anna Lucasta was bubbling over
with profanity. What made matters
worse, the play had some skillful
lines and passages that would of
themselves have produced whole
some amusement for the delight of
the fine audience that was on hand
But instead of letting well enough
alone in the matter of amusing the
audience, the characters poured on
more and more profanity which af-
ter few jerks became boresome and
disgusting. OF course the crowd
laughed. They did when Jesus was
hanging on the cross. This scribe
does not blame the crowd for laugh
ing; but he does blame people who
ought to know better for selling the
crowd and the Negro short. Because
the screen and stage and press have
so long sold the Negro short, people
have come to expect it, but our
producers seem to lose sight Of the
fact that another day has dawned.
When Whites sell Negroes short
it is as understandable as it Is de.
plorable; but when Negroes do tile
same it becomes calamitous.
1t is not necessary now to take
to the gutter to amuse or inform the
public that Negro talent has 'arriv-
ed. 1t must not be though for a
moment that the play and cast
themselves are not meritorious; but
the endless profanity instea dof be.
ing an asset to the play is a down.
right liability. OF course, the play
will "cut through" Anything that
sells the Negro short will. The gut
terisms as they pertain to Negroes
always appeals to a certain sector
of the consuming public Why pub
licise the gutterisms of the Negro
