PRESSING PROBLEM BEFORE AMERICAN NEGRO IS BALLOT (Continued from Page One) found an effective method not only tc punish the mob, the segregadonalist and the disfranchiser through eco nomic boycott, but also a chance to gain for ourselves new political power in order to vote our people into free dom. But this means nothing unless it is used with far-reaching intelligence. We must learn to vote; we must stu dy democracy and government; we must not be ashamed, any of us, to confess our ignorance of the machin ery of the American government and of the methods of its political life. Let us learn what voting means and for whom to vote and how to vote ourselves into free, modem, industrial democracy. KENTUCKY HARMONY SINGERS MAKING GOOD IMPRESSION Mrs. Louise M.

Al-Bekri, an eleventh century writ er, whose description of Western Su dan was of such importance as to gain him the title of ‘‘Historian of Negro Land”, w'as an Arabian of Ethiopian extraction. It was Al Bekri who gave to the world the most I comprehensive description of Ghana, i a town situated on the banks of the I Niger, which was a meeting place foi ; commercial caravans from all parts I of the world.

A. for colored men was organized in Washington, D. C., in 1873; but like others of its kind was not of long duration, and it was not until 1876 that the work for colored men and boys wras seriously considered. Dr. Stew'art Robinson, a Presbyterian minister of Louisville, Ky., presented the claims for colored men’s work so eloquently that Sir George Williams, founder of Y. M. C. A. work, contributed $100 to the ap peal for funds'. Later JDr. Henry Brown of Oberlin was appointed sec retary of the international committee to organize associations for colored men.

Henry Clay induced the two factions to com promiser" and five measures were adopted (1) establishing territorial governments of Utah and New Mex iico with no reference to slavery, (2) admitting California as a free! state, and (3) compensating Texas for her New Mexico claim. The compromise was opposed by President Taylor, but upon his death, Millard Fillmore, the suceeding president, gave his signa ture to them all. ST.
