WHY A NEGRO POLITICAL PARTY?

GOVERNOR SMITH ACCEPTS

MALONEY’S MIND

°2? West .„d,a„ team. The .plea.

or A1 Smith for the frank ami plain way in which he faces the liquor issue. Smith is against prohibition and he says so. He is against the Volstead Law and he says so. While lending his influence in support of the law as it now stands, Smith declares that he will use that same influence to amend the eighteenth amend-

Recently it has been widely rumored j it a group of leaders of an outstanding * ;rnal order plan to organize an all Nepolitical party, and name a candidate for ndent of the United States. Such a move not appear either discretionary or pro;tive of any good for the Negro people, lose who sponsor the movement have a •ight to act as they choose in the matter, ut an all Negro political party would mean i rentually, further defeat of the political

opportunities of Negro people.

A Negro political party can mean at no time, little more than possible promotion of dfish and personal interests, on the part of the organizers. The major political parties espouse all issues of vital concern in the nation’s welfare, which are likely to get a favorable hearing through legislation or law enforcement. There are no programs for a Negro party to foster, which do not have a lampion, save perhaps the “Negro Cause.” lis would mean the end of the party in the

beginning.

If it is rights or justice under the law the organizers of the Negro political party seek to promote,—a Negro party can offer nothing. If the organizers seek public office, through a Negro political party, the chances through such, are diminished rather than increased. Negro people control comparatively nothing of the nation’s vast wealth, or essential resources. They are a minority group, unlikely to be able to draw* support from other groups of citizenry. A Negro political party is not the demand of the people. There is no need for such, no more so than there is need for a Ku Klux Klan party. There is a crying need for a closer unity of purpose among Negro people, particularly in economic activities. We must in the face of future developments, essay a role of producer of essentials, or be relegated to a more anomalous place of economic serfdom.

Governor Alfred Smith of New York, accepted the Democratic nomination for president of the United States last week.

The Democrats assert he sounds progressive atlll , Ilu uie t

Rumor broadcasted over the radio, that, happily turned out later to have been false, had it that Col. Lindbergh was dead, a victim of sunstroke. We are so apt to associate death with (or soon following) signal honor or social recognition. A man does a big. thing and, —forthwith we assume that his time is at hand. This is a "holdover” from the old sentiment that signs of early genius or piety were indications of early death. When great men are allowed to live long in our popular psychology more men will be achieving greatness.

IF HEAVEN WILL IT

Heaven will it, croaked a frog, that poked its head up out of the

v/at)L‘r.

Apd when it had said this, the frogj which had been the first Galician of the tale, suddenly found it-

self once more a man.

He went on his way gayer than Easter, and having met another traveler, who asked bjm whither he

went, he answered:

To my own place. If Heaven will it; to see my wife, if Heaven will it; to see my children, if Heaven ■will it; to see my cow if Heaven will It, to sow my land, if Heaven will It; so that I may get a good harvest

from it, if Heaven will it.

And as he religiously added to everything, "If Heaven will it,” he was allowed to see his wishes acecmplished. He found his wife and children well; his cow became the mother of a fine calf; he sowed hi? field, and reaped a good harvest and

RELIGION, POLITICS AND INTOLERANCE

The hypocritical cry about “keeping religion out of politics,” is getting quite a fling this time. Like the poet’s babbling brook, e hue and cry goes on, even as religious ntrusion into politics. The circumstance also appears to be a matter of whose religion, or religious influence shall intrude into things political. Throughout the present campaign, white protestant churchmen, particularly utherners, have indulged in much politactivity. The leaders of southern protestant groups have been particularly active behalf of prohibition. And while actively gaged in politics to defend prohibition, many sundry bargains and deals have been planned by this group, it is averred. These protestant leaders at times,—and befuddled tolerant laymen, are howling against religion in politics. The religious faith of Gov. Alfred Smith, the Democratic nominee for president, has evoked much rotten diatribe from lay, laity and a section of the press as well. Of particular significance is the matter that appears in the press. We have noted the unfortunate mental attitude of thousands, perhaps millions oT American people as expressed in vaous news journals on the matter, during the year. Some papers have given the matter a vast amount of space. Among these are the "Fellowship Forum,” from the nation’s capital, a reputed Ku Klux Klan journal. During the year this paper has given seemingly eighty per cent of its space in every issue to ti-Smith and anti-Catholic propaganda. y unlikely and discreditable things are arged to the Catholic church by this journal. , In a recent issue headlines read— “A Vote For Al Smith Is A Vote For The Pope,” “Efforts Of Pope To Make America Cathie Takes First Place In Campaign,” . Books are advertised in which, it is ed, the evil activities of the Catholic urch are exposed and etc. The circumce can serve no good purpose and will y array a vast group of citizens against itizens. vfernor Smith is a Catholic, and there more than eighteen millions of Catholic e in the country. These people are estiaWe, progressive and as affluent as any her like number of citizens. A Catholic erwise qualified for president will make good president, and he will receive the vote t of ninety or more per cent of the voters in this country. And this is expected of sensible people when surnding forces are arrayed against them. We hold no particular brief for the c church or Catholics, but it is to • unceasing credit that they stand and her. The Catholic church is not a to the American nation or its sov- ■ ■ * 1

gress. He endorses his party platform declaration on the matter and among other things, said, “I propose to substitute action for inaction and friendliness for hostility.” The Democratic platform declaration on agricultural adjustment, does not differ materially from that of the Republican party. Such relief as the farmers may secure must come through legislation. Congressmen must be elected, who are pledged to enact some practical legislation for “farm relief,” and

carry out their pledges.

Concerning the prohibition laws, Gov. Smith’s attitude is well known. Among other things, he asserted “I shall to the very limit execute the pledge of our platform “to make an honest endeavor to enforce the eighteenth amendment and all other provisions of the federal constitution and all laws

enacted pursuant thereto.”

“The platform of my party is silent upon any question of change in the law. I personally believe that there should be change, and I shall advise the congress in accordance with my constitutional duty of whatever changes I deem “necessary dr expedient.” “I believe in temperance. We have not achieved temperance under the present system. The mothers and fathers of young men and women throughout this land know the anxiety and worry which has been brought to them by their children’s use of liquor in a way which was unknown before prohibition. I believe in reverence for law. Today disregard of the prohibition laws is insidiously sapping respect for all law. I raise, therefore, what I profoundly believe to be a great moral issue involving the righteousness of our national conduct and the protec-

tion of our children’s morals.”

Mr. Smith notes that the president does not make laws, but can only make recommendations to Congress. The drys of the nation should have no fear of the position of the prohibition laws, as Congressmen elected by the people will uphold or undo these

laws.

The Democratic tradition of “states rights,” is a matter that might well be of concern to nominal Republicans who may be inclined to support Smith, especially those of a dark hue. As president he would be to some extent influenced by southern leaders of his party. This circumstance offers no encouragement to the Negro voter. Gov. Smith’s acceptance speech is in the same category with other such political pronouncements. It is no doubt appreciated by Democrats and wets, but its constructive value is no better or no worse than the perennial crop.
