ing his voice in indignation, the
militant educator said, there are
those in this country who would
exchange the American form of
government for communism. The
only fault they can find with the
American form of Government,
he continued, is our capatalistic
system. The good old capatalis-

us the highest standards of Iiv-

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Y lille sitting down wait
ing for my favorite waitress to
bring me my fish and beer I
overheard group of Parish
Streeters already indulging their
Saturday night fare giving vent
to some already widely held opin-
ion about the Negro preachers
generally and the contribution
they are making toward the inn
provement of the Negro commun-
ity and improving the lot of the
Negro as a citizen. What they
were saying was that you never
see the preachers at any kind
of meeting which is called to
improve conditions in the Negro
community, and the lot of the
Negro as citizen, and therefore
the lot of the Negro down here
on earth, with some rare ex-
ceptions, that can be pointed out
as proving the rule, unless there
is a printed program of the meet
ing, and there happens to be the
names of a preacher to ask the
invocation and pronounce the
benediction (They are present
then for the most part to get the
program to point to with pride On
some future occasion). AS one
fellow pointed out, in the old days
preachers took an active part in
everything which was to better
the Negro community, and on a
Sunday preached just as loud and
longer, and maybe longer, and
had just as many or more folks
shouting and happy as the preach
ers nowadays. I wouldn't like
for it to be took as me saying
this cause I'm saying that one
fellow said that the reason the
preachers amt interested in no
organization and meeting espec
tally them where there is money
to be took up, like the MACE
and Voters League, and the poll.
tic organizations, where the mon
ey is raised for something else
or somebody else, is because the
preachers nowadays don't never
study about nothing else but some
kind of scheme to git some mon
ey for hisself, and he's scared
to go to the meetings caus,
somebody might want to meet a
his church and knock him out O
some money for hisself. I pas,
this own to the brethren of tn,
cloth cause it gonna get wors
and worse if a whole lot of Ne
groes get to thinking this way
