THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS

An unmistakable path leading straight back to normalcy and better times was very ably pointed out by the President in his speech to the American people Monday night. i he Roosevelt pronuclamento, coming at a time when the people are convinced that a real man is at the helm of the nations ship of state, was another executive performance executed with characteristic Rooseveltain precision and straight forwardness. Thus, first guns were unlimbered in the war to be waged to the last ditch against the nation’s economic stagnation and its numeroui resultant devastating effects. President Roosevelt’s address, pregnant with clear thought and practical common sense, is recognized by his fellow country men as the signal for the opening of the unprecendent national drive against proverty and suffering born of the depression. In his message to the country the President showed how the purchasing power of the people has fallen far behind production and prices which continue to rise rapidiy* . J The average citizen knows, or shouud know that it was such conditions as this which brought about the depression, from which the nation is just emerging. Included in President Roosevelt’s remarks was a reminder of the manner in which wages were slashed right and left in the last three years and of how hours of working men and women have been increased in many cases to the “sweatshop” levels of years ago. We will recall the conditions that precipitated the present industrial chaos and threw the nation off it* economic balance; closed the avenues of employment and created more than twelve million jobless men and women. It Is these conditions which the Roosevelt plan is calculated to adjust, a circumstance that should impress all Americans alike. In Indiana there will be eager co-operation with the President’s national recovery program. With everybody working for its success, and we are sure that will be the case, we see no reason why this herculean government task should not go over the top. The big objective in the national teamwork movement is re-employ-ment and increased buying power. Let all AMERICANS JOIN WITH THEIR LEADER IN PUTTING THE PLAN OVER.

To persistent fight conducted during the past forty years by the race in interest of ^education has accrued remarkable results. The fight, which happily still goes on, has had the welcome effect reducing want of knowledge from 57.1 per cent in 1890 to slightly in excess of 16 percent today. The percent illirate, we are told, is now very much lower for members of our group than it is for those foreign born white inhabitants of the United States whose birth place was Italy or Poland, Lithuania or Syria. The per cent illirate, we are told, that for our native Indian or for the imported Chinese and Hindu

inhabitants.

Ours, therefore is an inseparable obligation to continue this battle against ignorance—admittedly one l of the Negro’s greatest social handicaps; a surmountable obstacle astride the path of our progress that must be disposed of. From the one standpoint of the

The politicians is my shepherd. I am real in want, He maketh me to sleep on park benches. He leadeth me beside closed factories. He disturbeth my soul.

He prepareth a reduction in my small salary, in the presence of my enemies. He anointeth my small income with taxes: My expense runneth over. Surely unemployment and poverty shall follow me all the days of my life And I shall live in a morgaged house forever. Theodore (Buddy) Boyd.

It is very true that illiteracy among our own group has been' reduced to a substantial extent since

1890.

No one can deny that this is a result of a deep-seated racial aspiration and a desire to obtain and retain our rightful place in the scheme of things. Accruced results from the fight against ignorance to date are such that it may well be said of the battle that it was well fought.

RACIAL PATRIOTISM

THE TIME IS RIPE

With approach of the next county and city election looming, citizens of Indianapolis should begin how to give the matter the full measure of serious thought which it deserves. It is very necessary that we continue to demonstrate our interest in local and national governmental affairs with the same amount of enthusiasm manifested by us durin the past few years. There is no denying the fact th«t because of our increased concern in the political welfare of our city, county and state the Negro’s status as a citizen has undergone a decided change for the best in Indiana. That being the case it is highly necessary that we continue to blaze the way for higher and higher recognition in the affairs of our city, county and national government. It is in this connection that we advance the suggestion that efficient Negro citizens ponder now the necessity of aspiring to seats in the county and city councils; there Is imperative need for Negro representation on the bench; the time is ripe for competent colored citizens to functiorv as members of the school board. Members of our group are holding many such elective offices in various parts of the country with credit to themselves and to. the race. The same must be the case here in bur own community, if the progress of our people is to march alongside that of other citizens of Indianapolis. The cardinal necessity now is for greater recognition; wider representation for our people in Indianapolis and Indiana. Let us reach out for our share of the responsibilities in the governments of the municipality and in the county of Marion now; WE MUST DO IT IN THE COMING ELECTIONS.

From Cleveland comes the welcome news that Dr. Frederick Douglas Stubbs, a young Negro physician appointed not long ago on the medical staff of the city hospital in the Ohio municipality is MAKING GOOD. It will be recalled that the young medical man’s appointment was effected in spite of prejudiced objections raised by opposing factions composed of members of the other group on the absured grounds that it could’nt be done. Equally interesting is the circumstance that Dr. Stubbs, professional aspiration was satified after a relentless fight carried on in his behalf by three Negro members of the Cleveland city council. That was manifested racial patriotism of unusual quality an example that should be followed for the good of the race by other influential men and women of the group eveVywhere. And it is worthy of note that Cleveland City hospital records for June of this year show more than twenty major operations in chest surgery for the cure of consumption ably performed by the young surgeon. Dr. Stubbs now*goes to Philadelphia where he will locate as assistant to Dr. John B. Turner, surgeon in the Department of Police, we understand. Hundreds of young ambitious physicians throughout the nation should acquaint themselves with the masterly performances of Dr. Stubbs with view of emulating the splendid example set by the Ohioan in terms of tenaucity, courage, and unquestioned ability.

The controlling element of society is ever on the alert to remove the devastating influence of strong drink from those of feebler power of inhibition and selfcontrol. Adults would keep intoxicating liquor from the reach of minors; the capitalists would keep it from the laborers; the well-to-do from the ne’r do wells. So that the South in endeavoring to keep lier and stronger elements are trown quor from the Negro was but following a universal policy where weakin contact. It has long been conceded that the Eighteenth Amendment did not stand a ghost of a chance in the great city-states of the North and East. Its only hope of salvation rested with the more rural South [and West. But politics has played havoc with prohibition as it will with any moral question with which it becomes entangled. Naturally enough, the South wants to be on the winning side. It capitulated at the Chicago Convention, when it lined up behind Roosevelt and Re-

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS

Indianapolis citizen patrons of the Postal Saving time deposit system muat give sixty days’ notice of withdrawal of such deposits if the 2 percent interest is to be receive** Orders involving the sixty days’ notice requirement were recently issued to post offices throughout the country from the head of department at Washington. The order was made necessary by the Glass-Steegall banking reform law, which stipulates that no interest is payable on demand deposits, but only on time deposits of ninety days or longer. It means then, that the post office will necessarily have to be notified sixty days in advance of withdrawals of the class of deposits if patrons of the system are to obtain interest for the ninety-day period.

they left off when the law was enacted, to bring up to a new generation the principles of sobriety and temperance. The prohibition experiment, though noble in purpose, lias been unfortunate in result. It has set back the cause of temperance for'fully a generation. Naturally we may expect excesses all round when the flood gate of free flowing liquor is opened wide. Though delayed for a season, the genuine drys will not admit defeat. Moral reforms never

The failure of this noble experiment has been unfortunate in that it has weakened respect and reverence for the Constitution as our political religion.
