NERVOUS UNCERTAINTY

these columns to the crying need for colored delegates to local and national conventions of both the Democratic and Republican parties. It was, and always will be a contention of The Indianapolis Recorder that such representation is a bonifide heritage of Negro voters; that without it our people would needlessly remain indefinitely in the clutches of cheap politicians of both parties as mere tools; convenient material from which to draw for the satisfaction of selfish aims oftimes inimical to the interests of the race. The circumstance precipitated a logical call for Negro convention delegates; it was issued in response to the growing demand for a measure of political representation to which our people are entitled. Leading thinkers of Indianpaolis and Indiana are unanimous on the question of full representation for all American citizens. They see the utter injustice involved in withholding from any element of the people its legitimate opportunity to participate freely in the affairs of government; assume its rightful share of political responsibilities; function legitimately in the scheme of things administratively. And so, in thus letting down its traditional bars against colored voters to its local and natonal convention the Democratic party of Indiana has registered a masterly political stroke. It*was a timely example of good diplomacy. We shall see the resultant effects of

it in the November elections.

So far, we have faired very well through three conventions with delegates, doorkeepers, prayors and speakers; and that is about all a convention amounts to, the real work being done in the pre-conven-tion cacuses and closed-door sessions. When these such sessions do their work well, the convention

When seventy newspapers agree, its about right, they say that Ros-

Politicians in all parties are formulating and advancing plans to deliver the country from its present wide-spread industrial dilemma. All have their particular pet cures for America’s many complicated economic ailments. Numerous praiseworthy attempts have been, and still are being made to effect a solution of the pressing problem.

Will The Eighteenth Amendment Be Repealed

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE . I

Next Monday will be July 4th, the birth-> day of America’s independence. Once more 'UTe nation will celebrate its anniversary with pride and programs befitting the occasion. Citizens of the Unted States of America in all walks of life will participate in the country-wide observance, in the spirit of good old-time patriotism. In doing so they should not neglect the inseparable duty of praising God from whom all blessings flow for the great privilege handed down to them; for the precious success which attended the noble venture of liberty loving fathers of the nation in their revolt against tyranny, oppression, selfish imperialism and government

of taxation without representation.

From the pulpits and the orators’ rostriam every where, the air will be charged with meritorious eulogy of GeorgeWashington, very appropriately termed the father of our great country. He is the man who dared to pit his military genious against the armies of mighty a King; gallantly lead his handful of untrained, half-clad and half-fed but determined patriots in Americans just struggle for acquired independence. It was he, together with his followers including our own llustrious Crispus Attacks and other members of the group who fought the fight for real liberty and won; made it possible for the coming into being of what is now the greatest nation on the face of the globe—the United States of America; a Democracy recognized the world over for its high principles; a government of, for and by all its

citizens.

Independence day, of all days, this year rightfully belongs to George Washington. Clear across the nation, the mountains, the plains and the shores of these United States should ring next Monday with praises of the famous American whose bicentennial is being celebrated throughout the year, 1932. Elaborate plans have been formulated by forty thousand towns and cities to fittingly celebrate the 4th of July this year. Also plans are going forward with increasing enthusiasm for the remainder of the bicentennial, program, until Thanksgiving Day when the celebration officially closes. All of which is exactly as it should be; had there been no George Washington, perhaps we would all be British subjects and not citizens of the United States of America. There might not have been a declaration of American Independence. MASTERLY POLITICAL STROKE

And, we are told further that the other child is still being kept in the death cell, in the Alabama state capital; this, in spite of the fact that his case was reversed since last

March.

This child, says the dispatch, has been in the death cell for nearly three months, after sentence was reversed. A clear case of poisioned prejudice, official hypocrisy and rank injustice based on barbarHy and criminal ignorance. We are consoled however in the realization that Mother Right, no matter how slow she might seem to be about it, will prevail in the end. Every dog has his day, and just retribution will find its mark, strange as it seems. CONSTITUTIONAL PROTEST

of course,

but does that matter? The whole fabric of civilization is temporary. Communists will not rule this country in our life time, so if a few of us can get as much adventure, as much sustenance, as much happiness out of the Communist party as any other party, let them go. It will make our burdens lighter and they will return, much wiser men.

For the first time in many years members of the group in Indiana were included as delegates to the natioanl Democratic Convention. It is also important to note that at the state meeting of the party in Indianapolis a considerable number of colored Democratic workers were in attendance as delegates. The representation thus afforded our people in Democratic ranks is not without its favorable potentialities. Not very long ago attention was called in j

We understand that the appointment of a lily-white anti-Negro Mississippian as United States marsahll is to be taken up to the next executive session of the U. S. Senate. In view of his alleged record this aspirant to a high place on Uncle Samfs payroll is assertedly a rank person non grata; as such he Mould be a rank misfit as an administrator

of justice.

The Mississippian in question, B. B. Montgomery is alleged to have publicly insulted the race with the prejudiced assertion that he did not believe there were any chaste Negro women; that he would not take part in a Republican committee meeting or convention in Mississippi with a Negro woman participating. Surely a creature of this man’s type

would be a disgrace to the people as a repre- ^ wuio c sentative of the federal government; his con-]Bartley"Clark' Mr.“ ste^rC and rma ion, I e ected, would be an unforgi va- j many others were present and en-

A short, but interesting program was rendered, Mis Cheatham, making the opening talk. Mrs. Neoma Phillips of Fort Wayne, sang most beautifully. Mrs. Hanley presented a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Susan Knox, alternate delegate to the national convention in Chicago. Mr. Williams made an excellent talk, the main address being made by Attorney Richardson, who spoke as though he was speaking to “home” folk, giving several side lights on his campaign, and that he now realizes the astonishing cost of being out in “front”, at the same time emphasizing that he had no intention of giving up; that he was determined to open the gate for greater political achievements of the

group in the future.

We are about to pay out several thousands of dollars to our state aw makers in order that they may pass such laws that will lower, taxes, thus saving money for the tax payers which are all of us, while Ay sympathy for excess property owjpuers does not go very far, I hope their efforts to save money by paying the lawmakers, will not be a similar case to that of a man suddenly realizing that he must save money; and in order to do so, took his last dollar and bought a pocket book.

A tidal wave of wetness has swept over the nation. The straw vote of the Literary Digest showed that the nation is practically twothirds wet. This does not seem to me to be a deliberate judgement but a hasty conclusion based upon the unsatisfactory outcome of the 'noble experiments”. Politicians of both parties are striving to catch the wet tide at flood, hoping thereby to be swept on to fortune. Those who do these things show plainly that they have no moral conviction. Prohibition is looked upon as an available issue to attract or repel votes. History repeats itself. The anti-slavery struggle and the prohibition fight run parallel and on all fours. The old Whig Party tried to side-step, dodge and evade slavery as a moral issue. As a result it was rent asunder and lost without trace. In those days there arose the Republican Party instinct with righteous purpose and moral energy. It frankly faced the institution of slavery as the moral iniquity of the nation and pledged itself to its undoing. The adversa-

ing Abraham Lincoln on the slavery question. But of the sinister purpose hidden between the words it will take most of the time of Republican spellbinders to explain just what the prohibition plank does not mean. The Democratic plank will probably be clear and unmistakable. It will declare for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in language so plain and simple that a way faring fool need not be confused thereby. Unless some other issue is injected in the campaign to side track prohibition, the Democrats will probably win. The plain unsophisticated voter prefers plainness to indecision and confusion. The strategy of Republican leaders from now on will be to find some other subverting issue, either in our domestic affairs or foreign relations and thus beguile the voter into forgetfulness of the blunder of the moral straddle at Chicago. Let it be taken for granted that in the present state of the public triumph at the election. Will that mind the wets will probably mean the repeal of the Eighteenth

Would Abraham Lincoln have accepted a nomination on a platform which equivocated on the question of slavery? Contrast the Republican Convention at Chicago of 1860 and 1920. How has the mighty fallen from grace. The Republican prohibition plan is intended to be

PLAYING A BAD HAND

Playing a bad hand is a real test of ability. Only ordinary ability is required to manage a good hand. But dealt a poor hand, playing with the odds against you, you must draw heavily upon your every resource to then be weighed and found not wanting. Life deals many bad hands. The good sportsman will tighten his belt, make a determined fight and will often win the trophy an unwarl opponent thru the brilliance of his effort. Can you play a bad hand well ?
