A NEGRO ELECTED TO CONGRESS

A colored man in Chicago has been elected to Congress. Colored men aspired to go to Congress from several states. An Illinois man alone was elected. There is some talk about the man not being seated. 1 his is not thee opinion of the people of Chicago, particularly the voters who elected him. Oscar DePriest, the congressman, will represent the First congressional district of Illinois. His district is the wealthiest district in Chicago, including a large part ot the city’s great business section. He will represent the country’s wealthiest district, out-

side of Wall street, if seated

Mr. DePriest in a statement, takes cognizance of his opportunity and responsibility. Apparently he appreciates the situation. We do not like, however, to assume as Mr. DePriest and some others, that he represents the whole Negro race. He will represent the First Congressional district of Illinois. He will pledge himself to serve his dis-

trict, state and the nation.

No one will deny Mr. DePriest the right to espouse the cause of Negro people, but it is not judicious for anyone to proclaim him « representative in Congress of all the Nei. people of the country. To say he reprets all the Negroes in the country is to upId some of the blatant fallacies which Nejpro people are constantly assailing. Negro people may do well to think over this matter. It is our hope that Mr. DePriest serve his district, state and the nation y, when in congress. The eyes of the itry will be on him. As a success he will a credit to the nation. If he fails, it will larged to the Negro people in due time. Negroes have served ably in both branches of the national law making body.

made a‘prediction in a recent issue, which may shortly come to be a reality. He stated among other things,—a political realignment of the country is discerned in the story of election returns. The solid south has been broken and undoubtedly that strategy of the Hoover administration will be directed to strengthening the foothold of the G. 0. P. in the south. The Republican party in the south is to be reorganized as a white man’s party. The Negroes are to be eliminated from domination. Mr. Hoover will not be embarrassed by obligations, to Negroes in carrying out their policy, for the Negro vote went to Smith in a conspicuous degree, the writer

asserts.

We have foreseen somewhat of such developments. Negro people have assailed the Republican party, whereas seemingly the assault should have been directed against nefarious individuals or predatory groups adhering to the party. Among modern nations the leading political faction or party is ordinarily liberal. This accounts for its leadership. In this country it is the Repub-

lican party.

If possible, minority groups with programs to carry out always get^into the major party. At the same time even organized

MALONEY’S MIND

Some twenty-five countries are represented in a class at Columbia university, Teachers’ college. The countries are England and Scotland, Germany, France, Austria, Czecho-Slavakia, Switzerland, Russia. ugo-Slavia, Syria, Latvia, Palestine, China, Japan, Korea, South Africa, West Africa, Honolulu, Porta Rica, Cuba, Panama, Philippine Islands, Mexico, Bolivia, and Chile. This is a formidable array of representative pedagogues. For, each student is either a teacher, the head of a school or an administrator. It would be an education in itself just to be expored to such a group — to get at their points-of-vlew, their attitudes, their thoughts and their

Ideals.

This class has made a tour under the auspices of the International Institute of Teachers’ college. Places visited included Baltimore, Washington, Hampton, Williamsburg, Richmond and Swarthmore. The class was under the directorship of Dr. Milton del Manzo of the institute and the chaperonuge of Miss Isabel Pratt.

very unlikely to get much in the way of special consideration. Also the program or activity of minority factions, etc., may not be commendable, but support of the people makes a leading party. It is up to supporters of the party to purge the party of that which is unseeming or corruptible. This can-

not be done by fighting the party.

The Republican party is foremost in the nation’s politics because it is the most liberal major party. No repressive tradition is recorded in the annals of the Republican party. True the exponents of the party’s principles have not been infallible, but the dominating influences in the Democratic party today and in the past are wholly repressive wherein the Negro citizen is concerned. The indications are that the Republican party may not see fit to restore the Negro to grace generally. If Negroes can afford to support the Democratic party, as it is now constituted, they must have a heart

for any fate.

I|eed not advertise the fact that he is a Negro. Rather he is confronted with the obligation of demonstrating he is the same if not a better congressman than his colleagues. Political indications are such that Negro people may or may not hold their present status in future politics,—depending on fitness, and ability to see and act aft-

SINISTER ACTIVITIES IN THE CHURCH

The pastor of a Terre Haute Baptist church was shot and killed last Sunday night as he attempted to enter the church, where he had been removed. The shooting, according to reports was the climax of church troubles extending over several months. A general row followed the shooting and eight or ten of the members of the congregation were injured by bullets or otherwise. The church disturbance has been carried to the courts, by the rival factions, previous to the Sunday night incident. The strife in the church was known of in the community. In some instances, or relations, religion appears to move people to /urious lengths. The news reports, from day to day, details of church wars and irregularities of church leaders. The whole church caflnot be censured. But the church faces a perplexity in growing irreverence, coupled with the wide spread erring tendency of L church leaders. The Negro church has held itself aloft’ hallenging all criticism. But this is a bad ,ttitude. Any censure directed at church leaders, cannot apply to the whole group, yet develops, some of the group, who assail every criticism eventually fall by the waysid^. As humans, regardless of activity, we are > not infallible. A Christian church can harcuy be conceived of as the scene of a murder, put the incident herein recorded attests of human frailities. ....

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

POLITICAL FORECASTS

an unquestionably efficacious journal,

Democratic party is smashed—of that there is no doubt. It chose to run a Wet and Catholic and :t has paid the price. As things look today, no living man above thirty years need expect to see a Cathoiic nominated again for the highest office in the «£?;K. M °I e ? Ver ’ the completeness of Governor bmiths defeat makes impossible his renomination four years hence, as might have been the case had he election been close. If, as now appears, to our fhnt 8a ,V 8faction ’ Fr anklin D. Roosevelt has been chosen Governor of New York, there'has risen an- ■ tar u P° n the political horizon in Governor . mith s own state to play a great part in the complete party reorganization which must come unless t is simply to fade out. Of that we shall have much ? ay “ th® future. Today we would only add our tribute to the extraordinary campaign made by Govaea?nafTh th f Single-handed he waged his fight against the forces most hostile to our American democracy. Privilege and bigotry and religious intolerance he assailed with frankness and superb courage. On the merits of the debate he should have won. But the American people have decided not on arguments, but largely upon feelings, passions, and prejudices. No man who had to carry the triple burden of his religion, his “wetness” and his affiliation with Tammany hall, could have waged a better campaign than the Governor of New York. He ends the battle having impressed his personality upon the whole country and having won the lasting affection of multitudes. Let no one deny to him, or to Norman Thomas, the praise they deserve.

raignments I have ever heard delivered to white men by a white man was delivered by the dean of the General Theological Seminary in New York to abor^ u flare of prejudice that was beginning to show up In that great “school of the prophets.” And the substance of his remarks was that the men who were preparing to go out to deliver the message of the gospel ct universal love should SEEK rather than SPURN the company r>f like-minded men from China. Japan, South America, Africa, and the isles of the seas. America, the land of “the meeting of the peoples of all lands” should, of all lands, be a laboratory of the social arts of living rather than the hot house of antipathy, bigotry and snobbishness. Education is acquaintance with things and their forces, and men and their ways. And life is the continuous adjust-

ment to such knowledge.

Over in London, Mrs. Dora Russell won the championship in a debate SHOULD THE HOME BE ABOLISHED. She argued the affirmative side of the question. Essex hall, famous for liberal gatherings, again came to the foot-lights as the meeting place of this group. Just a few weeks ago the men of the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night Bible class discussed the problem of the collapse of the home and “cussed” out all and sundry as causative factors in the general debacle. A few weeks ago I wrote in this column on the problem of MANNERS on the part of our children, and pleaded with parents the crying need of training the children in the basic lessons of social relations. Mrs. Russell and her husband have noted the problem but they are attacking it from a different angle. They claim that “the temperament and training for bringing up children is rare and specialized and the work should be in the hands of people who have a genuine affection for children and can handle them psychologically.” Hence, children should be taken from incompetent parents and trained by competent persons for “family tyranny may our be a very serious thing, even to a very young child.” How many of us have not seen children, yes infants, crushed under the load of managing a household because of the indulgence of “loving” parents? Mrs. Russell won the debate by a vote of ninety to fifty. All ot which goes to show the gravity of the problem as it stands today.

—THE NATION.

HOMELY PHILOSOPHY

THE LEAVEN OF KINDNESS Kindness is a leaven in the daily bread of life, lifting, lightening and making It sweet and worth while. Without it, we would find the days heavy and dull, our nerves would snap and our hearts break. Kindness is a leaven that is free and without price—yet priceless. We should use It mre frequently, give more freely. In much the same proportion that we give, we shall receive.

Oscar DePriest has been duly elected congressman from the First Illinois district to succeed the late Martin B. Madden. But the question arises, now, Will his credentials be honored; will he he seated? Vare of Pennsylvania was met with the counterthrust of his moral terpitude. Frank Smitn was excluded on grounds of moral unfitness. Will there be skeletons in the DePriest’s closet that may fiU out to frighten the puritans i n Ctngvess? That would be too bad But it would serve as a lesson Men who would seek high offices must see to It that their boots are free from the filth of corruption Not all the people’s representative are angels, to be sure, but certain ly it is ours to put up ft>r off»ce. stand the flood-light of public scrutiny.

Senator Randall of Louisiana opines “There would be grave danger in ijouisiana and other south ern states In two strong white po litical parties each of which would contend for the Negro vote. “Good Negroes In the South,” says he “are prosperous and happy, but if they are persuaded by designing whites to enter the political arena, there Is certain to be return to the fraud and violence of

reconstruction days, with great loss of life and sorrow to both races. Our present system of white Democratic primaries provides a just method of settling political controversies and should be continued. A serious effort will b e made to reduce the representation in Congress and the electoral college of states which adhere itt> this system if Hoover Is elected. Should that effort succeed, the south will lose a large percentage of its membership, both In the federal house of Representatives and in the Electoral college, with the result that it would have far less Influence in the Republic.” Statements like this are but proof confirmatory of the fact that minds that are preempted by prejdice cannot reason straight. Who ever told the said senator that “good Negroes in the south are happy and prosperous?” Has he never heard the Immortal words: “Ah. freedom, ’tls a noble thing?” Prosperity that Is not fortified with power is like the gossamer before the rising, sun. And happiness is a coy reluctant stranger where freedom is dead or dying. No, they are not happy and prosperous. They are helpless; and some of them are resigned to their

fate.

"A serious effort will be made to reduce the representation In Confess and the Electoral college—” This, all honest people know to be a most desirable turn of events. Let "the south lose a large percentage of its membership anyway. And for the good to the Republic that this southern Inflation does "Let the devils smile!” The south is moribund and will continue so to be, just so long as this type of clap trap Is the only sort of pabulum that Its statesmanship can dole out to the na-

tion.

BED TIME STORIES

THANKSGIVING STORY HOW CORN CAME INTO THE WORLD

Long, long ago, in a beautiful part of this country, there lived an Indian with his wife and children. He was poor and found it hard to provide food enough for his family. But though needy he was kind and contented, and always gave thanks to the Great Spirit for everything that he received. His eldest son, Wunzh, was likewise^ kind and gentle and thankful of heart, and he longed greatly to do something for his people. The time came that Wunzh reached the age when every Indian boy fasts so that he may see in a vision the Spirit that is to be his guide through life. Wunzh’s father built a little lodge apart, so that the boy might rest there undisturbed during his days of fasting. Then Wunzh withdrew to begin the solemn rite. On the first day he walked alone in the woods looking at the flowers and plants, and filling his mind with the beautiful images of growing inlngs, so that he might 3ee them in his night dreams. He iaw how the flowers and herbs grew, and he knew that some were good for food and that others healed wounds and cured sickness and his heart was filled with a even greater longing to do something for his family and his tribe. “Truly,” thought he, the Great Spirit made all things. To him owe our lives. But could he not make it easier for us to get our food, than by hunting and catching fish? I must try to find •his in my vision.” (Read next week. Does Wunzh find out the great secret?)
