tions are an impressive evidence of a new and better spirit which is penetrating the very depths of the citadels of race prejudice, narrowmindness, and plain downright
ignorance.
The step taker/ by the Crusaders to resent in their forceful way Insults being aimed at the entire Negro race was both very logical and, of course, highly commendable. As to the discriminatory system, practiced in Catholic churches, schools and colleges, it suffices to say that the policy is not only entirely out of place in the House of God. It represents the very essence of inconsistency; an open confession of the failure of Christian leadership to stem the tide of iniquity and its destructive forces. • The one noble duty of God’s representatives is, or should be, to stand on the side of right, justice and fairplay. The Catholic segregation system, as disclosed in the student’s resolutions, is quite contrary to what citizens expect of this great Chris-
tian church.

last week to call attention to certain traditional, but never-the-less objectionable policies of the Republican party in Indiana and else-
where.
We referred in terms of a timely warninq to the tremendous defeat suffered by the G. O. P. in the last elections; an unmistakable proof of the fact that something is radically wrong within the managerial ranks of this one of the country’s two major political parties. We saw fit to remind leaders of the organization of the crying need for certain definite changes in the changes in the state machinery of the party; changes that should have the effect of putting new life into its functions; adjustments that will result in a greater future for the G. O. P., or Grand New Party in Indiana. This is a warning, we repeat, that must not be ignored by Indiana Republicans, if the party is ever to regain its lost prestige in this state; attract back to its fold thousands of disgusted former G. O. P. adherents. And , as titular head of the Republican organization in Indiana, it is up to Senator Arther Robinson to do something to purge his party of its many well known retarding shortcomings; restore it to its former high place in the estimate of Hoosier voters. His is the patriotic duty to take hold of the helm of the virtually ftranded state G. O. P. ship and pilot it back to its former moor-
ings. ,
If Senator Robinson knows anything ait all, he knows that colored Republicans have had many raw deals handed out to them throughout the years of Republican rule. The Senator knows too, or should know, that there is much dissatisfaction in the ranks of colored Republicans as a result of these many years of patiently tolerated maltreatment at the hands of G. O. P. leaders too blind to envisage the inescapable consequences. Costs of this blunder, persisted in for decades with bold impunity, were settled in full last November. The Senator knows that too. It was then that race men and women seized upon the opportunity to place their stamp of disapproval upon the general setup of the organization everywhere in no unmistaken terms. A final result that might have been expected, under the circumstances. There is now a great chance for Senator Robinson to show the political and diplomatic mettle that is in him. If there was ever a time when the Republican party needed a savior in Indiana, that time is now. We repeat, that as the titular head of the organization in this state, it devolves upon Senator Robinson to assume charge of field operations as the Republican generalissimo for Indiana; give party followers a square deal; win back for the G. O. P. its lost prestige in eioosierdom.

CATHOLIC JIM CHOWISM
Jim Crowism in the schools, hospitals and churches of the Roman Catholic denomination was given a / body blow in resolutions adopted by the Catholic Students Mission Crusade at its eighth national convention in Cincinnati recently. That the Negro as a member of the human race is entitled to his just share of the world’s goods was forcefully pointed out by the Catholic student body in the convention. Denouncing the system of jimcrowing members of the church at the communion rail and segregating studetns in Catholic institutions of learning the resolutions declare: Whereas: His Holiness Pope Pius XI has expressed the desire that there be promoted a more intensive study ,of the mission activities among the Negroes of America, and Wheheas: His Holiness likewise urges the further cultivation of a Catholic attitude of friendly encouragement and fraternal recognition of our co-religionists, “Therefore, be it resolved that the convention go on record as opposing all un-American and antiCatholic principles embodied in race prejudices. “And be it further resolved that all Crusaders refrain from acts and words which might blind the Negro to the true nature of Catholicity and be it finally resolved that Crusaders recognize that the Negro as a human being and as a citizen Is entitled to the essentia; opportunities of life and the full measure of social justice.” The Catholic students’ resolu-
R. A. DIFFICULTIES
Increasing difficulties are being experienced by Negro labor in the South as a result of failure on the part of the National Recovery Administration to provide a sufficiency of jobs or the volume of business expected by employers in that section of the country. That members of our group could control a larger volume of jobs by accepting a lower wages than is provided in the NRA code is one of the suggestions advanced for the purpose of helping to solve the
problem.
Fortunately, there is no likelihood
that any such agreement will be
decided upon in the matter. Negroes and whites, being equals
before the law as bonafide American citizens, should receive equal pay for the same quality and quani-
ty of work done.
That’s plain justice, a consideration to which colored Americans entitled, and should obtain in
for sweet charity as 'the record shows. Families served, 16,670; 480; “made work’’ men served, 38,men served at dining tables, 223,720.
Renters should send Clyde Karrer, local attorney, an orchid, as Charlie Davis would say, for his, the only word spoken in their behalf before the Tax adjustment board of Marion County. Which is the better or the worse off, a renter paying $240.00 a year?—or an own-
er paying $62.60 a year?
The Y. M. C. A. annual membership campaign is now in full swing. Last Monday morning found F. E. DeFrantz, John A. Patton, Dr. Theo. Cable, L. F. Artis, Hobson Zeigler and R. K. Smith on the job bright and early, a week before the campaign, officially opened. This group started from the building and I suppose that other groups started just
as early from other points. Herein After all, there may be acme honlies the success of all the “Y’s” eat lawyera and acme emart lawcampaigns, busy men volunteering yera- and by that, I mean, lawyera their service, today not tomorrow; jwho can, through the preaentation this morning not tonight; yet, with- of facta and force of argument, win out the moral and financial support cases, whether they be on the popuof all these noble men, efforts | lar or unpopular side.

better homes and better enviropments for the people; and especially, when the newspaper is supported by ninety percent of the people, when the project would apparently benefit. This is one of the few worthy projects that the local Chamber of Commerce has undertaken and should commend itself to all, exyept those who are still wrapped in the doctrine of a dual
social status.
By a slim score of 5 to 4, the City Hall nine dropped the Court House team in their annual game at Perry Stadium. It was a good game, closing with a ninth ending thriller that caused Thomas Ellis, County commissioner, to jump high in the air as his boys almost won. With the tying run on third, and
over. Big league scouts, Hendrichs Kenworthy, Chris Fisher, Bonus Temple, Ernest Marker, county commissioner, Robert Skelton, Oscar Scuab, Claude Williamson kept their eyes on the pitcher for the City Hall team. Charles A. Grossart, county auditor, Bruce Short, surveyor, were busy around the prize stand, while Albert H. Losche, Glenn Ralston, clerk, of county. Carter Leap, Hanah Noone and others on the ticket committee were j gleeful at the large turn out.
_ the winning run on second, to batsspite of objections raised agai n8t ;men fail miserablly to push them
it by prejudiced southerners. On the other hand it is not expected of the NRA to stoop to the ill-advised policy of catering to the wims of any one group of citizens at the expense of other equally de-
serving ones.
A square deal for all the people, black and white, north, south, east and west, is what is now needed to strengthen confidence in America’s ability to adjust its economic equilibrium; pave the way for a true
return to normalcy.
Furthermore, Uncle Sam is tpo broad and intelligent and individual to allow himself to be dragged into any kind of a deal that has for its purpose the furtherance of ques-
tionable schemes.
The south would be far better off with the purchasing power of its
colored citizens increased.
That is something that politicians below the Mason-Dixon line should know for the good it would do for
all concerned.
Noteworthy is the dependable circumstance that our people are not given to the habit of hoarding their money; neither have they any relatives in foreign hands to whom to send their earnings. The latter is spent right here at home for the benefit of their own country. __lt is well then, in face of these facts, for the white southerner to devote his efforts to helping instead of blocking the economic progress of his colored brother. In sum, the best thing for the South is high wages and equal opportunity for all its citizens. Let white and colored citizens down there work diligently and sympathetically to that one end, all will be well with both races, that is as far as the National Recovery Administration is concerned.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
Denial of Negroes’ of their Constitutional right to vote in the southland has precipitated a new fight before the United States supreme court. The action, which involves the “Understanding Clause” of the Louisiana Constitution, was instituted by a citizen of the latter commonwealth. The prime objective is to have the nation’s highest tribunal review the clause which was invoked by southern states for the purpose of testing our people’s, eligibility for the ballot. The race man seeks a review of a decision as handed down by the Fifth curcuit court of appeals, upholding the much controverted clause in the Louisiana Constitu-
tion.
As we see it, this bit of perculiarly southern legislation, commonly recognized as a special device to disfranchise all but 1,776 colored citizens out of 776,236 in the state of Louisiana bulges with the spirit of deep-seated injustice of the rank-
est political brand.
The persistent progrma of keeping members of our race away from the polls in the Southland merely because of the color of their skins, is wholly undemocratic in principle. As such the southern program is clearly an outrage that should not be tolerated in the American sys-
tem of government.
There is absolutely no reason why colored Americans, like all other citizens of this country, should be
barred as voters.
From the standpoints of legally
ment, that this illegitimate child had a right to share in its father’s estate, that the judge agreed with
him. The case, no doubt, will en-
hance this lawyer’s standing among his legal associates, but will add nothing to his laurels, as far as the general public is concerned.

(By KELLY MILLER)
For the first time in our history we are approaching the iron law of competition between white and black labor. Where there is not work enough for all, the strong will” serve themselves first. Up to now there has been worked enough for al) willing hands, white and black. The resources of a new continent had to be developed and its opportunities exploited. America had to draw on Europe for an adequate labor supply. Immigration doors swung wide open. .But with the rapid advance in machinery thte labor demand diminished. Immigration doors were closed. Labor began to
do so. Just as they do to the Japanese in California. “Shall we tell

Dow W. Vorhies, county commissioner, Johnny Logan and Clarence Meister had no worries of transportation. Busses, trollies, taxis, private cars, legs and feet took the trouble off their hands. John McCloskey, Al Moore, Mary Stout of the Grounds committee, saw Mr. Norman Perry, then let the ground take care of itself. Catherine Hodges, Rosemary Lawler, Elizabeth Wheatley, Susie Knox, Louise Makel, Rhoda Hanley, Tillie Bennet, Elizabeth Douglas, Mary Fisher of the ladies committee were busy supervising the preliminary games and throwing the “Rolling pin”. I am of the opinion that the poor showing made by most of the ladies, throwing the rolling pin, was due to the fact, that they were throwing at another man, other than their husbands. Dr. Arbuckle, Dr. Morgan, Dr. Ludwig, Dr. McQueen of the First Aid committee were on hand, but the only first aid needed, was by the court House pitcher in the first part of the game. The weather was clear and sunshinny. No need for rain, as the splendid corp of water boys, including Ernest Frick. Charles R. Ettinger, Fay Wright, John Anacker and Carl Knuz knew that the Water works were just across the road and well around the grounds. There were no arguments with umpires William A. Clauer and Nathan Swaim as most of the players had “inside reasons” for not arguing, even if it had been
necessary.

We are intitled to the same consideration in the matter of exercising the rights as are millions of foreign born Americans. That is undeniable. We know of not one instance in which naturalized Americans have ever been barred from the polls in America. That is another glarring fact. But why should there be any question as to the constitutional right of our people, actual sons of these American shores, to participate in the government of the land of our birth? The answer is reflected in cowardice, hypocrisy, debased politics and treachery on the p«rt of contemptible advocates of ail this southern nonsense about the Negro’s ineligibility to vote.

At first the Negro was pushed down to the bottom of the labor ladder and confined to manual and menial type of tack which the white workmen began to push downward and to crowd the black man out of fields customarily assigned to him. The barber, waiter, the cook and the coachman gradually gave way to white encroachment. The perfection of machinery drove the colored woman out ofMhe laundry business. The rise of apartment houses, household appliances and ready cooked foods are driving them out of the kitchen. Being thus dsilodged from their former stronghold the Negro finds few new avenues to take the place of those which he has lost. The large scale industries make only limited allowance for him either at the bottom or on the outer edge. The sudden impasse between man and the machine brings the Negro’s sad plight into full light. His list . of unemployment is out of all proportion to the general average. He is rapidly recruiting the ranks of enforced idleness. Theses plain facts of observation are apparent to all who have the courage to face the situation. The time has come to face the facts and tell the truth. It no longer boots us any good to boast of our wonderful achievements or to condemn white men for their meanness. The white race will admit Its meanness and injustice without argument, if forced to
made against such discrimination on account of race, but we need not be foolishly optomistic. After the Blue Eagle has folded his wings, the Negro's industrial and economic lot will be substantially as now. I do not believe that any hope lies in the manifesto of the late Amenia Conference that we may hope for proffer of fraternity from the white laboring man. Capitalism, mindful of its own best welfare, will accord the Negro as much opporunity as the white laborer will permit it to do. There is still some remaining germs of hope in appeal to the sense of justice and fair play of the American people. Religion, though much the worse for wear, has not yet, like the spear mint on the bed post, lost all of its flavor of beneficence. I can see but one ray cf hope admidst the encircling gloom, and that is the old Booker Washington gospel of having the race root itself in the soil. If there be little hope in the domestice from which we are being driven or in trade and manufacturing pursuits where the arrogance of white labor more and more tends to reduce the Negro to a minimum, the only remaining large scale occupation where race prejudice is least effective is on the farm. Hard and uninviting as the rural prospect is, it furnishes the best outlook. The race slogan should be, if not “Back to the Land”, at least “Stay on the Land”.

Frank Beckwith tells the one about the man who was being shown around a country cemetery and paused before a pretentious grave to read the inscription: “Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.” . . “Why” r asked the man, “did they put two men in this grave?” ... By all means join-up with the Y. M. C .A. during their membership campaign. R. B. DeFrantz is the "big noie” and what a noise he can make . . . Nelda Hewitt Stevens, an authority on old music of the South, will act as narrator during the broadcast of a new program opened last week by the N. B. C. The program revives memor.es of plantation life in the South and features traditional Negro songs and before the war ballads . By detouring around the washtub and the kitchen stove, the modern woman manages to escape the backache, and by thinking of the joys of spending alimony she can also thum her nose at the heartaches, too ... Wonder why P. Jones makes such frequent trips to Terre Haute? Cleo Blackburn was back in town last Saturday and guess who was having ‘cat-nip’ fits ... An ideal wife is one who worries more over her husband losing his hair than she does, over her fur coat getting bald spots on it . . . It’s a boy for Clifford and Mary Wilson. Another football prospect and I advise all coaches to consider the source. The department offers orchids to Miss Gertrude Gamlin and Dr. Guy Errington Kerr who were married Wednesday. Miss Gamlin will live in London after the coming spring (my compliments to His Nibbs, the Rex) ... Raymond Dee has decorated the Gardens and I bet you can’t keep your eyes off the cute scenery. Now the girls have to be dragged there—“dragged” like you drag a boy to firecrackers or a kitten to milk . . . Bert Ransom has gone industrious or NRA or something and is working—at the Home Loan Bank .'. . Randall Young is In the maternity w^ard of the City Hosp— working of course . . . Wonder why Ed. Johnson isn’t singing at the Walker theatre anymore! . . . The new “ Midnight Club” on Ky. avenue seems to be drawing a swell following . . . Which reminds me— the ‘beer joint’ behind the sign has practically cleaned the “corner” . . . The New' Yorkers have a cute way of describing Cab Calloway — Rhythm and Weep . . . Floyd Calvin of the Pittsburgh Courier was in last week. Great guy, Floyd, just travels around and sees; hoy can he write a column! It’s funny how Folks get to know So many things That just ain’t so.
I know how to make a frozen cocktail. You merely add to your regular cocktail a tablespoonful of dry ice (get it at the corner drug store) then stir the drink slowly and in a minute you have a drink the consistency of sherbet. But don’t handle the ice—it burns the fingers terribly . . . What songster was seen in The Store Without a Name buying (or rather looking at)

The trouble with the order* is that it separates everybody who has been connected with the administration of these buildings from the service, whether they are civil or not, although it gives the head the privilege of reappointing them within four months. The order which some here feel was to provide a few more places for political partisans, involves 7,500 employes at 1,565 post-office buildings.
