The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1950-12-13

1t is commonly known and al
most universally believed that since
1882. Negro votes have largely
contributed TO the election of dem
ocratic national administrations.
There is but little 1oubt that in at
least ten states, where the popu-
lation is large, in the absence of
a landslide, the Negro vote is the
balance Of power, and it seems
that the democratic party is more
alert to the situation than are the
republicans, because that party
has managed to win the support
of the very people whom i've the
years it has oppressed.
Prior to 1892, Negroes in vast
majorities were republicans. They
voted the republican ticket year
after year in appreciation of the
fact that the republican party was
instrumental in bringing about the
abolition of slavery and in starting
the race up the road from slavery
to citizenship.
l believe it will be interesting to
bring to public attention the rea-
sons why SO many Negroes have
in recent years allied themselves
with a political party which has
from its earliest existence opposed
their progress. 1 realize that such
a subject is too large in scope
for adequate treatment in a single
issue, and it will be continued from
time to time until the reasons are
made clear to my readers as I see
and understand them.
I admit in beginning that 1 am a

the interest of the republican party,
and taas my ultimate hope Is to
contribute to the success of the
republican party in 1852. I intend
however, to tell the truth about
both parties and to pull nc pun
ahes for either. IF we know the
truth, the truth shall make we free)
I hope to find out the truth from
research, contacts and interviews,
with as many of my own people in
every walk of life that 1 possibly
can, and to base my observations
on facts, information, and exper-
fence. 1 believe it is just as i'm
rortant to find oft how the house.

about the situation as it is to find
out how the business man or the
professional man feels about it.

as others and every vote has a

how the Negro sot-ier feels about
It; marching off again to another
war to fight and maybe die for
= democracy that he has never been
allowed, to enjoy.
I hope it will be understood that
7 win not resort to personalities.
I make no claim that all of the
good people are in one political
party ard that all the bad ones
arc in the other. There are good
ard bad people in all political
parties and in al ace according
to NY book. I have the highest
respect for many democrats as
well as for many republicans and
1 have no respect for many of both.
I hope it Is clear that ! intend to
discuss parties and their policies
rather than persons.
AS a republican, If I find that
my party has been negligent and
stupid in its dealings with Negroes,
I will say so. 1t almost goes with
out saying that it has, since hardly
anything short of stupidity could
have lost for it the votes that
meant control of the government
The Negroes left the republican
party in 1882 and since then ii

dict it will not elect n until IL
wins back the Negro vote.

OfMissionories in Far East
Churches Concerned Over Fate

Meanwhile, missionary work has
come to a virtual standstill in
Korea, except for scattered areas
where a handful of workers are
carrying on hospital and church
activities among refugees. Nearly
200 protestant missionary men,
women and children have been
evacuated from Korea and are
temporarily housed in the Kobe
area of Japan, awaiting the out
come of the Communist attack
on South Korea.
Catholic Missionaries Hurt.
No word has as yet been re-
ceived from six Methodist mission
aries repeatedly cut off when
Communicated troops penetrated
Kaesong, near the 38th parallel.
1t has been announced by the
Vatican radio that two Catholic
missionaries in Korea have been
wounded.
Meeting at Whitby, Ont, the
International Missionary Council
pledged "unbroken fellowship
with all Korean Christians, and
assured them of 'our acute con-
Germ and our prayers"
Not all is dark and gloomy for
the missions enterprise. Drastic
curtailment of activities in some
parts of the world has led to wider
horizons elsewhere, and this is
particularly true in Japan. Scores
of missionaries from China have
been assigned to this field and
many denominations are taking
up work there for the first time.

All of us at some time have
the problem of a broken nail.
Splitting nails also give many
women trouble.
There are several factors which
cause nails to break. 1t may be
due to general physical condition.
Low thyroid. illness or poor nu-
triton may cause 1t. A rundown
condition may show up in split
ting nails. If this is chronic you
should have physical checkup
because nails reflect your state OF
health just as hair and skin and
eyes do.
Be sure that your diet is pro-
tective in the minerals and vita
Minis, especially calcium and vita
Minis D and A.
Splitting nails can also come
from infections or local injury or
the effects of household caustics
and soaps. Use rubber gloves.
Remember that the part of the
nail you see is not living. II is
composed of dead cells. One
fifth of your nail is hidden. This

dition of the nails. So long as

damage to the visible nail is only
temporary. II takes from three
to five months to reproduce a
fingernail. Good nutrition and
daily massage at the base of the
nail are both helpful.
During your manicure the nails
should be carefully examined to
discover any little breaks at the
sides of the nails or taking or
breaks at the tip. If these are
attended to Immediately they
probably never will become
troublesome. Smooth any rough
ness at the tip with an emery
board and apply several coats of
enamel to protect the weak end.
One house has very clever
nail mending kit. You can place
tissue over the end, fix it in place
as directed, apply polish, and the
result is a lovely tip.
Do not cut cuticle unless you
already have some hangnails
which cannot otherwise be han
died. Snip them off with cuticle
scissors. You may have hang
nails because you are careless
about urging the cuticle back from
the base of the nail. If the cuticle
is attached firmly to the nail
surface, it will be stretched tighter
and tighter as the nail grows and
may snap and cause hangnails.

Skirting New York
By Anne Votes CIorke

Florence Reichman, one Of New
York's leading milliners, has
opened one that will operate in
both the wholesale and retail
fields. Her attractive separates,
accessories and costume additions
can be bought in her new custom
salon or they may be bought by
the stores who sell her hats.
Hats must be properly acces-
sorized both in color and theme, y
is Mrs. Reichman's edict, and SO
many of the clothes and acces-
sories have been designed espe-
cially to go with the hats. At the
opening, ribbon was featured with
many attractive vests. gilets
scarfs, neck pieces and even hats
made of it. Several lovely hats
of white velvet ribbon and natural
milan braid had a very rich look
for the braid looked like gold.
The hats were posed forward
nearly all worn level on the head
and the pillbox theme was
stressed. AS they were hats for
midwinter, most of them were on
the dressy side, with velvet and
straw combined, straws used in
colorful and imaginative ways
and shape more important than
decoration. though the latter was
not neglected. Colors were dusty
mauve, purple. faded blue, wild
rose pink and an organdy red,
all of which will look right with
winter furs now and with cos
tune suits later.
