THE VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE
BY Kathryn McCarty

(The eleventh in a series of in
formative articles on Our Govern
ment)
After the Mexican War, the en-
tire Southwest became disturbed
over the slavery question. Texas
was admitted as slave state, but
when California framed a conSti-
tuition excluding the evil, dissension
between North and South took
place. The South was furious be-
cause California's Southern half
lay below the Missouri Compro-
mise line, the line they maintained
Should permit free labor. The con-
troverSy grew to such heated point
that a dissolution of the Union
seemed imminent.
Then Henry Clay, Republican
leader, presented compromise
measure to Congress and named
it the OMNIBUS BILL because of
the series of compromises it con-
tanned. The bill provided that Cali
fornia should be admitted as free
state; but that Utah and New Mex
leo settlers should decide them
selves whether to be free or not.
It also provided that the sale of
slaves should be abolished in Wash
lngton, D. c., but as a compromise
in favor of the South, a Fugitive
Slave Law was included. This gave
to owners a guarantee of the re-
turn of their human property,
should an escape be effected.
In 1850 delegates from seven
Southern states met at Nashville
tC plan action for the protection of
their interests. Southern Senators
established a newspaper called "The
Southern Press" that presented to
tn readers the advantages of a Con-
federacy of their own.
At this time, President Taylor,
becoming frustrated with the prob
lens of office and weakened by
fever, died. He was succeeded by
Millard Fillmore, also a Republic
an. Fillmore won admiration of
his cabinet and his message TO
Congress contained many sugges-
~tions of great value to the coun-
try; but unfortunately, few of

New York Global.-There is a
place in New York City that is
owned, operated and controlled by
a Negro. It's beautiful and swanky,
a typical California type. It's called
the "Shalimar" and it's located on
Harlem's Seventh Avenue at West
123rd Street and is owned by the
very capable Luther "Red" Ran
delphi. Josephine Baker nicknamed
"Shalimar" the Showcase of the
Nation" because just about every
big name frequents the "Shalimar"
r.. screen stars, actors and :nu-
sicians, radon and television per-
sonalities, disc jockeys, big league
baseball stars, newsmen, doctors,
lawyers, socialites, businessmen and
high city officials.
The "Shalimar" is a place to go
and see and to go and be seen.
Last Friday night, my friend Chick
Solomon (head of the Negro Press
Photographers Association) and 1
picked up Featherweight Champ,
Sandy Saddler and his right hand
man, Brooks, and headed for "Sha-
limar." While enjoying the Ham
mond Organ, we chatted with fight
ers Johnny Bratton and Ezzard
Charles. Later "Mr. B" Eckstine
dropped in and joined our party.
Billy had just come off stage at
Broadway's Paramount Theatre
where he is currently appearing
along with the sensational MGM
recording artist, Fran Warren. La

why a thousand dollar automobile
costs more than two thousand dol
lars and why lot of other things
seem to be out of our reach finan-

QUESTION:: What is "Kar-
pas?"
ANSWER: ''Karpas" is the
name of the parsley which is used
during the Seder ritual on the
eve of the Passover and which is
usually dipped into salt water,
near the beginning of the cere-
mony. Some people use celery or
potatoes, or onions, or lettuce.
The commentaries like to claim
that the term is a combination of
the word "porech" which means
''hard" or difficult" and the let
ter "samech" which stands for go

and represents the 100000 Jews
who were enslaved in Egypt.
QUESTION: Why do we use
this "Karpas?"
ANSWER: There have been
several reasons given for this
custom. There are some who
claim that it was instituted along
with other Seder customs to at
tract the attention of the young
sters who would ask questions
and thus be stimulated to learn
the history of our traditions
Others claim that the children
became a bit hungry at this time
so they are allowed to snack in
this fashion instead of waiting
until after the first section of the
Haggadah has been read and ex-
planned.
Many authorities center the at
traction around the salt water
into which the vegetables are
dipped. Some consider this 9
reminder of the Paschal lamb
which was offered as a sacrifice
and the Biblical Command which
says: with all thy sacrifices
shalt thou offer salt" Most PEG.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1952-04-04

pie consider the salt water a re-
minder of the tears which the
people of Israel shed in the land
of Egypt.

QUESTION: What is the mean
ing Of the roasted egg upon the
seder plate?
ANSWER: Amongst the vari-
Gus reasons for this object are
the following: Some consider it
a symbol of mourning for the
destruction of the Temple, since
the first day of Passover always
occurs on the same day of the
week as Elisha B'Av'' (the ninth
of Av) the date the Temple was
destroyed. Others consider the
egg a symbol-of the offering of
the "Chagigah" sacrifice on the
Passover holiday, which is offer
ed in addition to the Paschal
Lamb. This provides other meat
besides the lamb while it also
sets the lamb apart as a special
symbol in itself. Some sources
consider it as an outright act of
opposition to the Egyptian idola-
tors who would not eat an egg
with meat.
QUESTION: Why does the
head Of the Seder wear white
gown on Passover eve?
ANSWER: Several interpreta-
tons have been read into this
tradition. A white tunic used to
be the mark of a free man. Since
Passover is the festival at which
we celebrate our freedom, the
white cloak is a fitting garment.
It is also considered a symbol
Of mourning and thus might be a
counterpart Of a shroud, accord
ing to some commentaries. The
mourning would be either over
the fact that human beings were
killed in the cause Of our free
dom, or it would be reminder
of the fact that the first day OF
Passover falls on the same day OF
the week as Tisha B'Av. It might
also be that. the white cloak is
used on Passover as a symbol of
the desire for purity. The Day of
Atonement calls for white cloaks
for this reason since it is a day
of judgment. In this same sense
Passover is a day of judgment
over the productivity of the
fields.
