Politics, Everybody's Business

Government is not perfect but it would
be decidedly better If a much larger mum.
Der Of citizens consistently took an active
interest and part in it and in politics. Be.
cause government is of the people, by the
people, and for the people, it is everybody's
business. Even though We have a repre-
sentative government, in which we intrust
the carrying out Of certain functions of
government to certain officials still it is
every citizens business to know how those
officials are dscharging their duties and
whether the affairs of government are
going well or otherwise.
Good public servants should insure good
government and whether the public serv-
ants are efficient and honest or incompe-
tent and INSCRIPTIONS Is matter for
which the people may be blamed or COM
mended as the case might be.
Many well-meaning people say some
times braggingly or pously that they
do not "dabble' in politics, meaning that
beyond voting once and while in the reg,i-
lar election, they have nothing to do with
the primaries, do not attend political rail-
lies, avoid ward and precinct work, make
II point not even 10 discuss politics, and
probably do not know who are running for

So You Want A Vacation?-
BY EARL

Vacation time is almost upon US
again. About this time last year this cor
ner brought you up on what usually hap
pens on vacations. In as much as history
repeats itself this corner can do likewise.
Don't say you are going to change the way
you spent your vacation because ten to one
you won't.
First, let US review the definition of va
cation. Vacation according to Webster,
means, release from duty or activity, or a
rest" A vacation is needed by ALL taken by
some, enjoyed by many and misinterperted

Something To Think About

On page eight Of this issue an ad ap.
pears by the property owners Of the Dun.
bar Stun Clearance area. In this adj these
seemingly frustrated property owners pose
three questions. These questions should
warrant careful consideration under the
closest scrutinization. II appears 10 these
owners that they have many faithful years
of sacrifice and toll at stake without having
any voice in their destiny in a land that des-
cribes itself as a democracy.
AS they put il - and IL is hard TO be
determined any other way - they are
having their status of life reduced from the
housed TO the heuseless from owner to ten
ant without the slightest recourse. These
owners feel that this IS being done over
mountain Of deception, and from public sen
timents that are mounting daily, they are
not alone in their feeling or belief. But worst
of all, from the questions posed in their al
that is carried on page eight Of this issue,
they feel that their predicament is being CO.
sponsored by members of their own race.
They want to know why the Negro adj
visory committee did not consult them be-
fore their property was endorsed for sale.

take long ago And today, there are many
southerners who have become so imbued
with traditional prejudice that they are
completely blind to progress. We feel that
the Negro will regret the day if he ever
allows himself to fall in the same pit of
retrogression. However, there are many Ne
groes among us who claim they are loyal
Democrats. 1t is probable that they are
loyal Democrats, but We can not vouch too
much for their loyalty on any other issue.
For We are unable TO determine just how
any Negro in the south can be loyal TO the
principles Of the Democratic party.
There are many of us who vote for
man on a Democratic ticket, but that does
not make US loyal Democrats. We are vot-
ing for man who We feel will lead us
back to the principles of Abraham Lincoln,
and not the principles of the Republican
party or the principles of the Democratic
party as Of today.

That Settle" IT,
ey /. Baynard Whitney

Glynn T. Settle and his Wings Over
Jordan, Inc, are performing a most lauda-
BILE service to the Negro, America and the
world. Here in the beautifully appointed
lobby of the modern new Booker T. Wash
ington hotel, of San Francisco, / listened
to a very astonishing story Of impersonal,
interracial goodwill.
An Ohio minister described the Cosmic
mission of this world famous radio speaker
and concert choir when he wrote: Through
the universal language Of music, Reverend
Settle has indeed been a powerful instrL.
ment to further understanding and brother
hood of all races and creeds."
The policy plan and technique of hui
man psychology and racial indignation is
what astonished me. As related by WOJ
choir director, Frank Everett and originat-
ed and confirmed by Rev. Settle, here they
are, in substance:
G) All men are brothers, but to realize
it persons of different races, religions and

the Stun area is safe from clearance. But
most Of all, these owners want to know
why is it that only three members OF the
committee are speaking for them, when
they have authorized no one 10 speak for
them.
These questions TO the average citizen
might seem insignificant. But to person
who has his home al stake, they are mighty
important because they pose detrimental
problem to the welfare Of the Negro These
owners declare that these men are repre-
senting them without authority from them,
If that is the case, these owners are per-
fectly within their rights 10 pose the
questions as to why. From where We stand
we do not know the status of the situa-
ton, but We do know our sympathy goes
out to the property owners who are a
bout TO have their homes pulled from under
them in the best residential section Of the
city for Negroes, with no place 10 go.

In Search Of Lincoln 80.

According to 1t. George w. Lee, au-
thor, lecturer, politician and insurance exc
cutiye of Memphis, the Negro has not de-
serted the Republican party, only the prin-
ciples that the party has allowed to shape
its policy. The Negro is just as loyal to the
party of Lincoln now as he ever was. When
the Republican party strayed away from
Lincoln, the Negro went in search of Lin
coin
AS 1t Lee pictures it, and the way we
would like for ii to be, shows healthy sign
for the Negro in America who is search
ing for his rightful place as an American
citizen.
We feel that II the Negro wants to
leave the beaten path of early American
traditions and keep time with fast moving
America, he must not tie himself to any
particular party but be free to follow the
march Of progress
The white southerner made that mis-

the elective offices. The things that those
actively engaged in politics do repel them
There are good citizens actively engaged
in politics, giving some or great deal OF
their time to political activity. 1t is well
known that there are persons who devote a
part or practically all of their time to poll.
tics, and that their motives are selfish and
their methods questionable.
Wrong men in public office, corruption
in politics, and menacing trends in govern
ment are due largely to the fact that there
are SO many citizens who do not "dabble"
in politics. Their not dabbling in politics
gives INSCRIPTIONS persons a splendid
chance to take over and make politics a
paying, if not respectable, profession Thus
we have the professional politician and the
political boss-the brand of these two that
we do not want
Less than 60 per cent of those eligible to
vote go to the polls, and very likely a
smaller per cent take part in the primaries,
where the candidates are chosen. For the
good of politics, the government, and
America the number Of citizens who do not
"dabble' in politics must be cut down.
