grippe and grunt and Crouch; but
all too often ne fails TO resort ia
the only effective recourse, the
ballot. We shall have to learn the
hard way and Byrds Of a certain
feather are calculated to make II
plenty hard.
When the Talmadges, Byrds
and Tafts are through with US, we
are going to hunt for the ballot
box as the fox hunts for a hole
when the hounds are in close pur-
suit. A few hundred thousand Ne
gro votes would cure these men.
But we are quite content to fuss
and fume in our papers and then
let the matter rest. What it takes
to make us rise up and get busy,
the Byrds of a feather have in
plenty.
The business of getting the
Negro vote-conscious belongs to
the Negro leaders whoever they
may be. Let us suppose that our
teachers and preachers and our
professionals are our leaders. It
is incumbent upon them to gen
crate in the Negro masses a
laundering derise to use the ballot.
The answer to Senator Byrd
lies not in the gnashing of a races
teeth, but it's effective ballot.
Byrds of a feather ought to drive
Negroes together!

Noonon's Observations
(From Baudette Region)

Receipts for liquor stores in
Minnesota in 1850 amounted to
more than 100000. The I'M
steady steady customers were GER
tainly free with their money.
Pictures indicate that bath
ing girls this year won't wear
much but it will fit them well.
A visiting fisherman here for
the opening day was IS years of
age. When you can give your bait
a pep talk at S5, you are surely
laughing at Old Pop Time.
Don't blast our U. N. allies.
It's what makes Stain laugh up
his sleeve.
DO you remember back yon-
der when a young man attended
a dance, accompanied by a strong
breath, he was promptly tossed
out on his eyebrows.
The other evening we heard
a man tell his wife to pipe down.
He wears them in that family.
In this country every four
minutes somebody is hit by an au-
to. And every three minues some
pedestrian makes a new worlds
record for the broad jump.
The world mess is nothing to
build up nervous breakdown. but
perhaps it will get better.
A new device rings bell
when a lie is uttered. II it had
been in operation when fishermen
gathered in the Rex Hotel Satur-
day night, 1t would have sounded
like the Chimes of Normandy.
1t used to be that a bundle
from the skies was a baby. Now
it's a bomb.
When you live in a small
town a good idea is to put a pad
lock on your tongue. You can't
get into trouble for something you
didn't say.
Be careful of peddlers. Some
Of them would swindle a flu patti
ent out of his chills.

subjugation Of Georgia Negroes
in particular and the Negroes
everywhere in general. It is diff
ficult TO believe that a man of
Sen. Byrd's national standing
would throw such sop to the Tai

goes to show the desperation
that Is characterizing the maneu-
vers of the decadent cause of re-
actionism in the south.
II is even more difficult to I'M
derstand the rashness 1t must take
to flaunt defiance in the face Of
the moral progress the south
daily is making in the matter of
race relations. The younger gen.
Grafton of the south is sick and
tired OF handicapping itself by
spending its greater energies try

It is not so difficult to under

II must be admitted that the old

and what a struggle 1t is!
II Sen. Byrd's Atlanta speech
does for Negroes what it should
do, II will strengthen the Negroes
determination to stand by his

emboldens the Byrds of a certain

Herein lies the greater tragedy

When will Negroes rise up in

What can be done to make Ne
