9 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1937 BACK UP YOUR MAYOR Mere all Mturt e4d MM cU Me MMf eeea I MOTHING CAN better, illustrate the spirit nf Mavor LaGuardia than the snub he gave the Governor of Florida last week. Gov ernor Cone was visiting New York in con nection with Florida's exhibit at the forth nmin? World's Fair. He was mit by a group of reporters from the metropolitan dailies for a nersonal interview. Naturally, they were re rent floeeine case and juicitaiu asked the Governor for a statement in con nection with the six Tampa policemen who beat Joseph Shoemaker to death in Decern "ber, 1935. The Governor said: "Anybody that comes to Florida and tries to overthrow the government ought to be rode out on a rail." A reporter asked in amazement if the Gov ernor believed in people taking the law into their own hands.

And again the Governor repeated. "Any people like that ought to be hung to" the "nearest lamp post This personal endorsement of lynching so incensed the Mayor that he refused to greet the Florida executive at City Hall. The rec ord of LaGuardia's life has been like that. He stands by his convictions and one of these is a belief in a square deal an abhorrence of lynching and injustice of all kinds, When you go to the polls next Tuesday, remember "this incident. Also remember the Democratic State Convention at Syracuse last year, when Tammany Hall discriminated against its own colored delegates.

So incensed was Herbert Bruce, Negro Democratic leader of the 21st A. D. that he refused to attend the convention. Judge Mahoney, now candidate for Mayor, was then a Tammany district leader and did not raise his. voice against this discrimination.

As Judge Samuel Seabury told a Harlem audience last week, "The Mayor great heart beats for the welfare of all the people of New York." His record has proved that he has the ability to give New York a good administra. tion, and that he will include the Negro in whatever benefits that other sections of the city receive. It is not enough to re elect Mayor La Guardia on November 2. For him to be most effective, he must be surrounJed with a har monious Board of Estimate. This means that we must also vote for Stanley M.

Isaacs for President of the Borough of Manhattan, and the Fusion candidates for this office in other boroughs; for Newbold Morris for President of the Council, and equally important, Thorn as E. Dewey for District Attorney. It is also important that Negroes be repre sented in the new City Council. We can hesitatingly recommend the Rev. John Johnson as first choice.

His record of serv ice to the race and to Harlem has won en dorsemetits from more organizations than any other candidate running. We also urge Fiif pu vote for at least one other Negro candidate and that candidate is Conrad A. Johnson, who made a fine record in the Board of Many of the other, candidates for the Council are outstanding figures in the civic and political life of the Metropolis. Such candidates as Mrs. Mary K.

Simkhovitch, Jos eph Clark Baldwin, Chase Mellen, Dr, William Jay Schieffelin, Thomas J. Curran and Robert Strauss are worthy of your sup 2 port, Do not be misled by propaganda flooding Harlem by the Tammany candidates. You have had the experience of a recent Tammany administration, and you know what Fusion has done and is doing under LaGuardia. Your wn judgement can tell you under which gVoup the Negro has profited most. ber that during the past four years.

Negroes have, for. the first time, been given repre sentation in all branches the city's govern ment, We also urge our readers to vote for Sara Pelham Speak for the Assembly in the 21st h. D. and for Ira Kemp in the 19th A. D.

Show your, appreciation for LaGuardia and hat he stands for by voting nhe full Fusion ticket from top to bottom. QUALIFICATIONS FOR WOMEN JURORS JHE NEW YORK BRANCH of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Teople hat been sending out infor station on the qualifications necessary fcr women to serve on juries in New York State, at the same time urging that Negro women take advantage of this opportunity. Besides the qualification of citizenship and age, prospective jurors in the Empire State must possess at least $250 in personal property or $150 in real property (this may include household effects, clothing, etc.) She must be free from all legal exceptions, of fair haracter, of approved integrity, of sound udgement and well informed. In order to get on the jury list, a woman should find out the name of the Commiss ioner of Jurors in her county, then visit his office and tell him she wishes to qualify as juror. After filling out the necessary blanks she should ask for a conference with the Commissioner of Jurors and tell him that she expects her name and the names of other qualified Negro women in her county to be included in the jury list.

The pay for jury duty in New York City is $3 per day, but the value to the city and race of such service is far greater. Because this information is valuable, we are passing it on through the editorial col umns of The Are. At the same time we would remind our readers that the same qualifications apply to men and we hope that Negro men as well as women find the time and inclination for jury duty, for far too few Negro men are seen on the juries of Greater New York, even though there has been no racial barrier against them. To readers who live outside of New York, it should be explained that women only won the right to serve on juries in September of this year. They are an innovation to the Jury System of New York State.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION THE HEAT of the municipal campaign, most voters have overlooked the fact that they will also be called upon to elect delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Unless we want to let Jul Farley write the next constitution of the State of New York, we must give our support to those candidates running under the Republican emblem, for there can be no doubt but that the opposition candidates were selected at the direction of Mr. Farley and have committed themselves to his support. In the 19th Senatorial District, the Repub licans have included the name of Attorney Francis E. Rivers, and in the 20th Senatorial District, Attorney Richard L.

Baltimore, jr. is a candidate. Both of these men are mem bers of the Negro race. Give them your sup port. 100 YEARS OF CHEYNEY A MEMORABLE celebration was held at Lheyney, ra.

tne weenena oi uciuucr iu, marking the one hundredth anniversary Cheyney Training School for Teachers. was the first institution founded in this coun try for te training of Negro youth, and one of the few state supported educational insti tutions for Negro youth north of the Mason and Dixie line. Outstanding features of the celebration was a seminar on the Education of the Negro in the North, in which educators of several other educational institutions took part. Dr. D.

O. Walker, president of Wfilberforce Uni versity asked for greater emphasis on Negro business on the part of Negro schools, and Dr. W. E. B.

DuBois, professor of sociology at Atlanta University, declared that segrega tion is no longer a natural barrier. He struck an ostimistic note when he said: "The Negro today hat to large and well constituted group of educated leadership that it hat been able to convince the modern world that permanent color caste it unthinkable and that continued holding of the darker races in subjection to tne whites it no longer a feasible nor a desirable program." Another feature of the celebration was telezram of congratulation from President Roosevelt to Dr. Leslie Pinckney Hill, presi dent of the College. The President express ed the hope that Cheyney will ever maintain the highest ideals of American education and that the sphere of its influence will ever increase. The New York Age afso extends its congratulation to Cheyney on its 100 years of usefulness to the Negro, and to its present head and faculty on their successful administration of a large enterprise.

At the same time we wcrald like tC mske the observation that despite the usefulness of such schools as Cheyney, there is no need for other schools north of the Mason and Dixon line devoted to the exclusive education of Negroes, at. least not those supported by state funds. With private institutions, it is different, but we should have more Negro students in state universities, technical and professional choot. To have srpara'e tate Mipported institutions of this character where the law does not compel segregation of the races, is to encourage this practice. We, as a racial group, cannot afford to further handicap the youth of our rice by bttildirg artificial barriers where they do not exist .4 THE NEW YORK AGE Saturday, October 30, 1937 i 2, 3, 4, according tp your dictates.

It would he merely an admission that we could find no. words more adequate to tell that this gentleman ranks high ibove other candidates to represent Negroes on the City Council We repeat, he should be your Number One choice. Mr. John H. Johnson, coming to Harlem from his father's' church downtown eight years ago, has labored untiringly in behalf of his race.

Of a genial disposition he is liked and admired by all who come in Contact with him. Among the civic bodies to which he is attached are the Emer gency Relief Bureau where he was appointed by the present Mayor. the Harlem Advisory Committee on Negro Problems, the Harlem Safety Society, the State Commission to Improve Livina Conditions AFRICA'S HOUR OF DECISION By T. OLDWAH DOSTJMU The seminar on racial problems, which convened at Hampton Institute on October 13, is a laudable undertaking on the part of those who desire healthy relationship between Negroes and whites. They realise that two races with oppusitc concepts cannot cuntinut to live side by tide withotst eventual explosion to the detriment of both; and unless somethinK is done real soon, to compensate the Negro for the injustice which have been heaped upon him, there will come retribution from some hidden quarter.

But in all such seminars a significant point is usually overlooked: that the true sentiment of the Negro is not represented, bence nothing usually comes trom the conclusions arrived at. The personnel is invariably hand picked by the powjrs that be and arc as a rule biased or airaid to express themselves in the light of popular thought tor fear ot giving ofiense to their benign masters. From the perspective of the African who knows the mental attitude of the representatives from Africa at the Seminar, the whole thing is a farce. Most of them are in the ser vice ot the Government of the respective colonies thoy represent or else are tools of alien capitalists with an avowed purpose of holding the colonies for the benefit of their home market With the exception of a few colonies that would resist every attempt of Government to lower the standards of the educational system, all the Directors of Education are committed to civmir the African only such knowledee as would leave him without baclreonc to resist their Credatory tactics. This method of educationists to impose upon the African something in whose making his real representative take no part is dangerous and a positive menace to mter racial stability.

The white man may be interested in the African; but one thing is certain, that he will not equip him with the tools and devices that will arrest his supremacy over Africa. Must, educationists hold that the African' should be educated as an African he must not wear white roan's mode of dre, he mnt be taught in ihe langogr of his community. These idra have made great headwav among n.irry men of learning, but the African will in the present posture of his affairs, resist them with million square miles was given to him for a heritage, and that to get it back from the white man he should follow the example of Am erica. i To talk of the white man's clothes is peculiarly obtuse. all began our existence quite naked.

Our dif ferences in dress are due to tradition. poverty, ignorance and progress. One of the reasons why the South African native is excluded in many positions is because he lacks the mental equipment in the early days when he had the opportunity. His educa tion irom toe suit was given, to mm in nis language and since every thing ehe in the community was done in the English language it was very easy to keep him out as unprepared. in west Africa the contrary is the case, but they have tried evenr sub terfuge to introduce the South Af rican system.

Heaven only knows whether it is not this view that is back of the Dfrectors of Education meeting in the United States. When we gain our independence from for eign masters, we shall change every thing in our own language, but for the present we want to learn, that which has given the white man his world mastery and perhaps MORE.

Immediately upon graduation from Princeton Theological Seminary, he was called to the pastorate of the 15th' Street Presbyterian Church, where for fifty eight years, barring a brief period when he repaired to the pastorate in Jacksonville, Florida, for reasons of health, he has stood in this pulpit at the national capital, and proclaimed to all the people the ex altation of righteousness with the un compromisine directness of a Hebrew prophet "Riehteousness ex alteth a nation and sin is a reproach ing registered your vote for Mayor etc.

lines an approaching change in the economic life of the South, out of which will come better racial relations. The article was presented at the Southern Sociological Society in Birmingham, last April Dr. Work siys: "As the new economy, agricultural induitrial cj. rnercial, conies more and more into the South, there will be greater and creater conformity between the economic order and the political and moral orders. The evils surround race relationists.

MIX Report ing the production of cotton, both economic and social, and growing out of ante bellum folkways and mores, will tend to be eliminated. There will be a new basis of relationship between land lord and tenant This new economy will pro vide a situation in which there will be not only economic cooperation, but. also cooperation be tween race and race, and between class and class, so that the interests of all the people will be. conserved." Dr. Work expLins the practical side of his prophecy as follows: "At the present time, agriculture has, in the main, a two fold emphasis: the production sf food and clothing for man, and foodstuffs for animals.

In this new economy there would be a three fold emphasis in agricul. the. two already mentioned and a third, the growing of prod lets for use in industry. This new innovation calls tcr: (1) uses of oil products cotton in building, starches, oils, ejf other products fsom 'le peanut and the sweet potato; (2) the use waste products as okra stalks, cotton stalks, and cotton linters, this latter now being uMd in the making of insulation boards; (J) the use of products growing in an area but not being used for exatrple, the use ot siasu pine in lise manuiacturing ot paper; (4) the introduction of new plants into in area as for example, the' introduction of the soy bean and ti tcng tree into sections of the South, the lat. ter for manufacturing tung oil now largely used in industry and in the main sin pot ted.

The former in addition to use as forage is also made into a lacquer for painting "It is estimated thu the new industries which are arising as the result of tie use of agricultural products in industry, will give employment tot only to a greater part of the surplus population of the SuutH, but would divert thousands of farmers now engaged in cot ton gtowing and other unprofitable pursuits to the more profitable growing of products, far industry. Among the new industries are already developing as a result of the growing of igricultpral products for use in industry are: paper sweet potato starch mills tung oil plants and power alcohol plants." Here is food for thought for the. South and the Nation; for the planners for the industrialists, for the agriculturists, educators, ud One of the new iule adopted at the last meet. ing of the National Negro Insurance Associa. tion in Augusta, in May, was that the proceedings of the organization be published within ninety days.

After a whirlwind of effort on the part of the Publication Committee, the job is complete and the attractively printed 182 page booklet ia in the hands of interested persons. The bringing out of the book so soon after the meeting gives the membership of the organixtion a chance to study from the record and put. into practice tome of the plans, methods and ideas brought to the insurance fraternity at great sacrifice of time from routine business for special study and investigation. Formerly, publication was too late for this opportunity. According tj Cyrus statistician of the Association, the insurance business among Negroes in America, the beginnintf'of this year, was with 1.81W95 policies in force; According, to tV.

of" the' National Negro Insurance Week program! last May 17 22, tbe'goal of $10,000,000 in new business set for the companies together was over produced by $1,909,000, by nearly 8,000 colored insurance salesmen of the country, and that "the new income, as a result of the strong conservation program, will exceed a year. The papers read before the body, now published by the association, reflect credit upon the organization, upon the companeis represented by tie writers, and upon the authors themselves. Among these are "The Scientific Approach to Modern Trends in Life Insurance Practices." by Miss E. O. Tibbs, actuary of the Afro Americtn Lite Insurance Company, Jacksonville, "Some of the Legal Aspects of Life Insurance from the Cairns Point of View," by S.

B. Thomas of pilgrim Health and Life of Augusta; "Specific Agency Expense," by Spaulding, actuary of North Carolina MutuU Life, and Immediate Problems Facing our Companies," by G. D. Rogers of Central Life of lampa, who is the new president 'of the Association. A perusal of this report by.

He did not accomplish any. spectacular achievement He did sot acquire any great wealth, but he possessed a I great soul, which is more than all of these. Dr. Grimke was a man ot character, genuine, sincere and unafraid. He did not covet pelf and power which is the bane of the Negro clergy in high and low ccclest aitics! station.

The race is too of ten embarrassed with shame and humiliation because ministers of gospel covet filthy lucre, and are obsessed with the craze for the exercise of power and secular inluience. None of these things moved Dr. Grimke. At a time when his stipend was unit $1500 the trustees of Howard lnl versity offered him the presidency of this great nstit'ition it the salary oi sjoou and a residence, but he declined the offer with the simple response that he was of God to (reach the gopel and not to admin ister secular affairs. He accepted seriously the admonition of, the Sermon on' the Mount, Ye cannot serve God and mammon." "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and thieves break through and steal, but rather lay up lor yourselves treasures Heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where tlVieves do not break through and steal." Dr.
