The victory of either candidate would mean a high-minded, patriotic and able man in the White House. But different influences touching the two men were to be considered. The vote was large and the next occupant of the White House comes near being a choice of the peo-
ple.
The outstanding issues of the campaign were farm relief, tariff, prohibition, and to be regretted, religion and the Negro in the south. The first three are logical issues m .national political contests. The other two should not have been involved. It has been ta the advantage of selfish predatory groups to exploit the hatred or prejudice of the masses. The development of human ideals is far behind the material development of our age. The trend of modern social practices indicates too much cannot be expected of hu-
/ jtoan kind.
A disparageful feature of the campaign was exhibited in the lengths to which expohfents of intolerance and prejudice carried -on their activities. The circumstance has rey^led to light widely, more of a condition which thrived in darkness. Hatred or prejudice, intolerance and bigotry, if these survive and thrive may be directed against any group or national institution. Such light as hfl£ been turned on the condition may serve a good purpose. Evil can only survive in the
dark.
r New alignments may be effected in both major political parties. It is possible that a Republican party, not including the Negro, will be instituted in the Southland. Negro people, who have supported the Republican party, should blame largely Negro politicians for whatever happens. With few exceptions, Negro politicians, regardless of scope of activity, have been beggars and burglars. If the same is said of politicians generally, they give even as they take. The Negro politician generally has always been on the re-j ceiving line. Concerning the religious issue, the machinery of the Democratic party, in a large measure, is in the hands of Catholic people. In view of the revelations or developments of the recent campaign, Catholics may see fit tb make new alignments, or reconstruct their party. A nationally liberal Democratic party would attract a large Negro vote, it goes without saying. The Negro mind, if slowly, is being charged with the same motives that -.move the people generally to action. A liberal national Democratic party and * a*Jtepublican party of reality in the south, or a real or actual trend to non-partisanism may be the outgrowth of the recent campaign. At present the nation will move forward to new progressive heights under Hoover, the people’s choice for President. CHOP SUEY, AT HOME
community of dilapidated houses, one can view with little effort, the world’s famous Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument and also the new monument erected to perpetuate the memory of those who made the world safe for democracy. Indianapolis has been called rightfully the city of homes. On the other hand, various tenement sections of the city are as unseemingly as may be found any place. Thousands of people live in a humdrum and hardly human atmosphere in such areas. Whites as well as Negro people are included. The hundreds of benevolent and charitable citizens and organizations of the community have done little or nothing to improve con-
ditions.
The City Plan commission, an agency instituted a few years ago, with the objective of beautifying and regulating the aesthetic aspects of the city, has done nothing on the matter. Bad housing conditions go from bad to worse. The tenement properties are owned by large property-holders. Many of these tenement owners would never move to improve living conditions for their renters unless moved by process of law. Indiana boasts laws on housing, but some influences or agencies must move law enforcement
agencies to action.
Bad housing is conducive to social wreckage. Bad environment, in this community and all the great urban centers of the country, make for a major portion of all social delinquency. The majority of the nation’s citizens will never be any better than the homes or environment in which their primary ideals are conceived. Bad or good housing and environment are bife- factors in producing the type of citizens, the community, state and nation need. The local situa-
tion demands the attention of good citizens ‘Sdi- Tmuch
glorious the victory! In this feat, as in many another, the boys of KAPPA ALPHA PSI have said in effect: WHAT OTHER MEN HAVE DONE NEGROES CAN
DO.
Dr. Harvey of Chicago university, speaking before the Association of American Medical colleges in this city last week, told of the excellent scholarship of Colored medical students and liberal arts ^students at his university who are
MALONEY’S MIND
The Indianapolis Times for Monday of this week carries the report that the women students at Indiana university whipped the men students in scholarship grades during the second semester of the past school year. The average for women students was 1.7291 as against that for all men which was 1.4266. This is not news. Women students are known generally, for their prowess in piling up "grades.” Women students in America are like Chinese students throughout the world. Chinese students have carried off scholastic honors in competitive examinations with uncan-
uy regularity.
But the same report carries in-
formation to the effect that “first
place in scholastic standing among
organizations at Indiana university
“during the same period,” was won by the KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRA-
TERNITY. This is news. It is not
news to report that “a dog bit a man;” but it would be news if “a man bit a dog,” and reporters would be quick to herald It. KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATER-
NITY is a Colored Greek Letter
Fraternity. It is the ouly
■Colored Greek Letter Fraternity at Indiana
University. And this makes the news significant. Our boys turned in an average of
2.0278 which is
better than a B average. Their closest competit-
A. H. Maloney ors made 1.9677 which is an average below B. And

THE NEGRO PRESS AND DEMOCRACY
starring in spite of the economic and social handicap. Most of these students are working their way through (some of them putting In eight hours a day at gainful occupation) and still finding time to do first rate work in college. This Is true, too, of the KAPPA boys at Indiana university. Virtually all of them are dividing their waking hours between the problems of livelihood and the demands of the classroom. Those who believe that the Negro is mentally “inferior”
ed or selected. THEY ARE. It goes without saying that every parent of normal mentality desires the well-being of her children. Where parents err; the error is in judgment and insight. It is not in will and intent. Our problem here is to whip up the general level of social morality and rerstore the waning sanctity of the HOME. In the case of the teacher and supervisory functionary is chosen, and consequently, is of temporary duration and subject to change tor sufficient cause. Because of this fact the relationship can be of the most mechanical and prefunctory sort, on the one hand, or of the most intimate and effective sort on the other. Where It Is intimate the members of the system usually throw off an aura that is descriptive of the idealism of the supervisor. Where it is perfunctory there is no unity of aim nor consciousness of any esprit de corps. For the best, the most efficient functioning of the system, therefore, it is necessary, it is wise, that supervision be of the most Irttlmate/sort. This is the reason why I pleaded last spring for a Colored supervisor for the Color
ed schools.
A white supervisor may WANT to know us, but he can’t, he may WANT to do the best by us but he can’t. This is all the fault of those responsible for this damnable thing they call race prejudice. But race prejudice is here, and we can’t bury our head in the sand, like the African ostrich, and thereby make an end of it. We have to face it like "practical men of high ideals.” Whenever they force upon us colored schools, it is ours to put in our requisition for a complete colored outfit — from custodian to supervisor. Whenever they force upon us colored churches, it is ours to demand a complete colored officiary from Acolyte to Bishop. And so on through the en-
tire gamut.
With a colored supervisor of colored schools, a person who would be a man and not a rubber-stamp, the people of Indianapolis would be certain of the most Important thing in child education,, namely, the children would be exposed to a healthy sort of moral atmosphere while they are at school. A colored supervisor would KNOW his staff of teachers; know their lives; he would be competent to prune out the ones that are spiritually bankrupt and moibund and to make “fit choice” of those who would be brought into, the system. And this advantage IS worth the effort on our part to bring this order to pass. THE WHITE SUPERVISOR KNOWS THE SCHOLASTIC RECORD OF THE COL-
and gave It to the sun as It wandered through the blue heavens. The sun, fcho loved Onatah, sent out many searching beams of light. They pierced through the damp earth and entering the pris-on-cave, guided her back again to her fields. And even after that she watched her fields alone, for no more did her sisters, the Spirits of the Squash and Bean watch with her If her fields thirsted, no longer could she seek the early dew. If the flame-monsters burned her corn, she could not search the skies for cooling wiAds. And when the great rains fell and injured her harvest, her voice grew so faint that the friendly sun could not hear it. But ever Onatah tenderly watched her fields and the little birds of the air flocked to her service. They followed her through the rows of corn and made war on the tiny enemies that gnawed at the roots of the grain. And at harvest time the grateful Onatah scattered the first gathered corn over her broad lands, and the little birds fluttering and singing, joyfully partook of the feast spread for them on the meadow ground. oOo

It is said that the ancient Greeks trained their athletes by submitting them to daily sun baths to increase their strength and athletic prowess. Most human beings are healthier if they live in an atmosphere of sunlight though not "sun heat.” Too much sun may cause sunstroke and generally weaken the system. To be sure, the so-called "sun cure,” when the body is exposed naked to the sun, is given as treatment to sufferers from tuberculosis of the bones and glands, especially children, but only a physician who is a specialist in this treatment should prescribe it. The average person should sit or walk; in the sunshine whenever possible winter and summer, but only during the morning hours of the hotter seasons of the year. Then, even in the cooler hours of the day, a hat should bo

Moreover, lamps of any kind should only be used under the supervision of a competent physician. It is a mistake to think that the sun that enters a room through closed windows is as healthful as outdoor sunlight. The benefleient ultraviolet rays cannot pass thru common window glass. A glass has now been invented thru which the ultraviolet ray penetrates, but this is too costly for most people, and it will be a long while before the window panes in the average man’s home are made of it. We should go outdoors for our sun
baths-.

' News dispatches in the daily papers tell recently of a restaurant failing. This is not nf$rs, but as Horace Greely has been charged with saying, “it is news when a man bites a dog.” The restaurant, a Chop Suey emporium failed in Pekin China, this is
news.
It seems peculiar that a food dispensing business or house, specializing in such a notorius (notorius is correct) dish as Chop Suey should fail in China. This article of the gastronomic realm is blamed on China. But the Chinese are not guilty. Chinese in China it has been revealed long aeo, know little or nothing of Chop Suey. Incidentally it is said “Chili” is not a Mexican dish. The Chinaman who has not traveled, does not know what Chon Suey is. This epicurean riddle originated in the U. S. A. It is even doubtfnrif Chinese in America conceived of Chop Suey first. Perhans the operator of a restaurant catering to the nredecessors of “flamine’ youth” might have invented the dish in Kokomo. Oshkosh or Kankakee. It suffices to say Chon Suey and all closely related ^astronomic ballast are here to stav. hut in China the dish could not survi^o. Tf the crowd follows, the American is qaiilible. And the axiom a pronhet is without honor, save in his own country, is true. But i relates to Chon Suey. the nrophet is not at home, when at home in China.
It is the prerogative of the Negro Press to take sides In the present national political campaign on the respective parties and the issues of those parties primarily as they affect the race it represents. The Negro Press must of necessity draw the line somewhere In its stand. It cannot be free as the white press to espouse this party or that with impunity, because all whites can vote anywhere in this broad realm and have all of their rights guaranteed under nnm?° n i Stl 1 tU i °^ • T he Negro is stl11 fighting for his political, industrial and social rights sixty-five years after the Federal Constitutional amendments were written into the Constiution guaranteeing him his rights.

But the ACHIEVEMENT O F THE BOYS OF KAPPA ALPHA PSI comes as a challenge to the colored people of the state of Indiana and especially of the city of Indianapolis. The boys have no fraternity house of their own. Those who are at Bloomington are living in a rented house. And they have a hard time meeting their rental bill from month to month. That is one of the heavy items in their current expenses. Their shame is their people’s shame. But. God bless them, they have not brought shame on the race, so far! And their glory is the glory of the members of the race. They have achieved some meed of glory and the people are joint beneficiaries with them. Every Negro in the state must feel the urge of pride in this signal feat of scholarship. Would to God that the feeling wexe a feeling of the creative, the productive, sort.

THE SPIRIT OF THE CORN (An Iroquois Legend) There was a time, says the Iroquois grandmother, when it was not needful to plant the cornseed nor to hoe the fields, for the corn sprang up of itself and filled the broad meadows. Its stalks grew strong and tall, and were covered with leaves like waving banners and filled with ears of pearly grain wrapped in silken green
husks.
In those Onatah, the spirit of the corn, walked upon the earth. The sun lovingly touched her dusky face with the blush of the morning and her eyes grew soft as the gleam of the stars on dark streams. Her night black hair was spread before the breeze like a
wind driven cloud.
As she walked through the fields, the corn, the Indian maize, sprang up of itself from the earth, and filled the air with its fringed tassels an<< whispering leaves. With Onatah walked her two sisters,, -he spirit of the Squash and the Bean. As they passed by squash vines and bean plants grew from the corn hills. , \ One day Onatah wandered away alone on search of early dew. Then the Evil One on the earth, Hahgwehdaetgah, followed swiftly after. He grasped her by the hair and dragged her beneath the ground down to his gloomy cave. Then, sending out his fire breathing monsters he blighted Onatah’s ;rain. And when her sisters, the spirits of the Squash and the Bean, saw the flame-monsters raging through the fields, they flew
far away in terror.

She taught us all To see the beautiful In the rocks, the brier/ The rose that blooms. She was once my teacher— Under her tutorage Much did "we learn. Hers was a life of service— A service long to be missed. Her ambition for Our girls and our boys Was great and was high— The future, she’d say. Depends upon the Youth of today.
