Do We Or Do We Not?-

The Negroes nonchalant attitude over
his civil rights is cause for alarm, 1t is Pc
culiar how he can manifest such interest in
his social rights and smile at any attempt
to interest him in the rights that are guar
anteed him under the constitution that he is
shedding blood to protect.
The Negro will spend himself in the
poorhouse to keep up his social obligations,
and he will spend meagerly to keep up his
religious obligations, where he will spend
nothing to keep up civic obligations
Proof of this is lack of interest the Ne
gro puts in the National Association Tor the
Advancement of Colored People. This organ
ization has done more to elevate the Ne
gro to citizenship rights than any movement
now existing or any that has ever existed
among colored people, yet it suffers more
for lack of funds than any.
There are many organizations in the
city of Little Rock with ultimate goals ITO

governor How much better Oft the Negro
would be in Arkansas, how Negroes would
be put into this and that position, how Ne
oroes would share in the huge waste of tax
payers money, that we really believed that
Arkansas had in the governors chair one OF
the best men that could be selected as head
of q dixie state.
These good things that the governor
was going to do for the Negroes didn't come
from the governor himself AT least, they
didn't come directly from him to his con-
stituents. They came from Negroes who
were paid to tell US. We should have realiz-

comes econd-handed is no more than here

out do the other socially" These organiza'
tons spend hundreds of dollars Individually
yearly giving social functions. Were these
organizations to set aside annually in their
budget a certain amount of money earmark
ed for civil rights of the Negro and send 1t
to the NAACP, the status of the Negro to-
ward first-cass citizenship could in no way
be ignored by the white man,
AS long as we over spend ourselves on
social functions, and pauperize ourselves in
building churches, we are playing right into
the hands of the white man. But when we
start to accepting responsibilities and taking
on civic duties, we will begin meriting the
respect of the white man.
We believe it would be good gesture
on the part of the various organizations IN
the city to lessen their budgets for social
activities and add the NAACP in them for

failure for his not doing anything tangible TO
ward the Negro was that he didn't have the
time and he couldn't chance his future in
politics. But when he was reelected it would
be far different story.
Now don't censure the governor for his
failure to do anything to elevate the Negro.
He never made any promises to do anything
despite the fact that the Negro contributed
much to his success as governor of Arkan-
Sas.
However, there is possibility that these
Negroes who are so close to the governor and
acting as his emissaries have never taken
the welfare of the race earnestly that would
empel them to demand anything for the
race. Still there is possibility that they
cannot demand anything-if you get our
meaning. But be it as 1t may, there yet re-
mains to be seen anything that the governor
of Arkansas has done for the benefit OF the
Negro to warrant extra ordinary esteem for
him.
