DAWKS FIRES A DI D ENERAL DAWKS in his recent so called “denunciation of the Klan” fired a dud. He had better said noth ing. His utterances have deservedly laid him open to criticism; for he clearly gave encouragement to that organization. He criticised it in one breath and justified it in another. He regretted its violence and tactics in certain quarters, bnt said, in effect, that in places there was some justifi cation for its existence. He is ab solutely wrong. No conditions, in Oklahoma or elsewhere, in these Unit ed States justify such an organiza tion. If the law cannot be executed or enforced by the orderly procedure of the courts and the regularly con stituted authorities, civil and military, then American civilization is doomed. There is never any justification for the mob, despite the fact that America seems to think so, and the Klan, not withstanding its apologists, is a cow ardly and lawless mob. There is no justification whatsoever for it. Dawes shot a dud, when he should have fired a broadside. A GREAT BENEFACTOR JJENRY WHIPPLE HUBBARD at A the age of 83 years has entered into well-earned rest. He was one of earth's noblemen, a great benefactor of humanity in general and of our own race in particular. All over this country there are eminent and suc cessful physicians and surgeons for whom the vision and1 courage of I)r. Hubbard made it possible to enter that honorable and useful profession. At a time when the doors of very few institutions were open to Negro youth in th North and none in the South Dr. Hubbard belonging to that band of noble and courageous white men and women of New England, who, believ ing in practical Christianity, went South to found schools for our people. He founded Meharry Medical school at Nashville, Tenn., and for sixty years wag an outstanding figure in Nashville in educational work among our people. Meharry is his monument. But more lasting than Meharry are the memorials he has wrought in the hearts and the lives of the thousands of young men and women who came under his influence and for whom he made it possible to secure honor able and useful careers in the med ical, dentil and nursing professions. M’eharry men rank high in their pro fession. They are well trained and conscientious. This bespeaks the character, thoroughness and ideals of the founder and president of the school. It is men of the type and mould of the late Dr. Hubbard, of whom there are far too few in our day and generation, who do much, to re deem the name of the dominant race fron^ the charge of injustice and in sincerity in its attitude towards and its dealing with our people. We owe a debt to such men as he and that debt can only be paid by showing our selves worthy of the opportunities made for us by those whom we will always hold in grateful remembranc ACT WISELY TT IS GRATIFYING to notice that the managers of the National Repub lican campaign have acted very wise ly in selecting many of the younger and progressive men of our race to do active work among our people. Mat thews of Boston is an excellent choice to head the bureau. Roscoe Simmons as head of the publicity and speakers bureau could not be improved upon. Francis of St. Paul, Minn., who heads the western division is clean, capable and forcible. Robert Church, Emmett Scott and Robert Vann are live wires. v t yvfwwwyvvvvvvvvvvvvYYrrrrrT -r -r .. • ► ]; A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM RACE :: PREJUDICE ;", By Morney Williams !! (For the Associated Negro Press) J; :: g^ GOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and S ;: f 1 who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, Xf ; • because of difference in race .color or condition, to Y I * separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but / !: teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of $ ;: Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew Y * mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House ? ! I of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician wo- j ! I man and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be X ;; carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and Y ■ > serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole v II human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and 2 ;; hardness of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ X > died, or injure any in whom He lives. Amen. Y And this is true of the entire organ ization. The republican leaders have acted wisely in the choice of their campaign forces to operate among col ored voters who in this campaign are an unknown quantity and a most valu able political asset. This recognition of the younger element is a wise move ment. DEFENSE TEST DAY JpRIDAY is Defense Test Day. It is designated to test the ability of the nation to defend itself in case of war. It is simply an inventory-taking move ment. Our people are urged to take thetr part in it and will doubtless do so. Its purpose is explained in an article in this issue. A WORD ABOUT SCHOOLS WE ARE GRATIFIED to call atten tion to the large enrollment of col ored youth in the High schools of the city. This is as it should be. Chil dien should be encouraged to go to High school and college and to take every advantage of their educational opportunities. In the meanwhile we should be utilizing our resources to the utmost to help prepare places for them commensurate with their train ing, talents and ability when the days of their pupilage are ended. REMEMBER HISTORY pjISTORY is a record of past events. Study it and be guided. Do not forget that the Knights of the Golden Circle prepared the way for the War of the Rebellion which aimed at the overthrow of the Federal Government and the establishment of the Southern Confederacy. Be not misguided. The Ku Klux Klan is striving for the con trol of the government. If successful it means Civil War. “Domes'ic fury and fierce civil strife will cumber all the parts of Italy (or of America Remember history! ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E.
