results. Now for final word. If
your town is ike mine, and pre-
sumo it is to some extent, we are
losing far more in trade each year
IN cash and in prestige than we
|could ever lose at the classic. In
Tallahassee alone, we are losing to
others far more each year than the
gross intake at the classic. Multi
ply that by every town in Florida
and you will get an index to what
we could do for ourselves and pos
terity if we would only pull with
each other in the things that count
most. If your city papers would
help the small and large business
enterprises organize and plan for
the crowd the classic will bring
many more people will be benefited
by it than will be hurt by its pres
ent management.
Could you get your papers tc
launch a vigorous program to put
well appointed service station in
each county in Florida with safe
rest rooms for the public and then
inform the people so that they will
know where to find them so that
they will not have to take insults?
Could you get them to launch a pro-
ram that will give to Negro mer.
chants more of the $4,000 we
spend a day for groceries in the
state? OF the more than 1000, 900
pairs shoes we buy each year,
| could we so organize as to have a
Negro group sell 500 of them? There
are many, many other items that we
could list if we organize for pro-
gress. Let's not destroy the goose
that laid the golden" egg. Let
work with her so she will lay many
more for our boys and girls. In a
small way ] am trying to get Ne
roes to work with each other in
economic units to the point where
more of our sections will look Xix
the other sections of our towns, but
we must do it through close COOPER
alton and not with rocks.
am hopeful that you and yours
win be willing to help make thi:

Dear Dr. Hadley:

a mole hill and leaving the noun
tain untouched altogether. / would
be glad to see us thinking together,
but / feel very bad when / see US
falling apart on issues which would
mean much for us all if we would
work together on them. If it is as
had as the Whip puts it, then it
would be bad enough for a delega-
4ion of interested parties to make
a trip to Tallahassee and work Tor
q different plan rather than try to
stir up our people to resentment.
After checking thoroughly into the
situation, if someone has better
plan, he should present it to the
proper persons, with no Islander at
anyone. I hope that those of US who
made up the alumni group will take
that course rather than join with
others and run our institution down
/ assure you that the authorities at
this institution will be more than
glad to get the best thinking Of in

the thinking should be purely un.

Let's look at the other side of the

Yes. We Would Like To Be Wrong

the liberality of any man in Arkansas Is
responsible.
We will have to admit that the past few
weeks in sections of Arkansas where the
Negro was a2oWed to do his own thinking
was a feeling of citation to see the white
man disrobe himself OF his superiority and
humble himself to ask the Negro for his
votes. This Is not tue of all the white poll
ticians. Some were zeal without any decep-
ton in securing the votes of the Negro, and
showed no ranorse in their endeayor. But on
on the other hand there were some who
could in no way face the situation and 'em-
ployed' Negro stooges they thought could
deliver the votes for them. But of the
many candidates for offices using that
method of approach for Negro voters, there
was only one successful. This is a sign OF
progressive thinking on the part of the Ne
gro, for il viii eventually force all the
candidates in the opening and climate the
Negro stooPa who tell the white man
they can deliver the Negro for a price.

Politically, we have not clearly decided

ourselves in party manuevers that might
