OUR BIG JOB
'J’HE Negro in the United States of
America and in almost every
community in America has a mighty
big job on his hands. If he were not
worthy of this big job or capable of
doing it he would never have been
given it. His job is this: To work
out his civic, economic and political
salvation in the face of an increas
ingly hostile sentiment and environ
ment. Be the cause whatever it may
the fact remains that the job before
us is not growing less arduous; but
it is our job and we’ve got to tackle
it with a will and with a smile. Nor
is our casg unique. Most of us think
so, but it is not. Progress upward
and onward has always been marked
by struggle and the overcoming of
obstacles. Prejudice has striven to
thwart the advance of every forward
looking group in humanity’s march
towards a larger freedom.
Repression of self-expression, self
determination upon the part of the
minor or under group, race or nation
has been considered the prerogative
of the more privileged. And still this
repression has proven futile. And so
it has been and will continue to be in
our case. If we are true, recognize
our responsibility and do our work
well nothing can prevent our coming
into our own. The morning light is
breaking. It calls to work. Our job
is before us. Let us tackle it not
with a whine, but with a will and
smile and w'e will grow strong in do
ing it.
THANKSGIVING DAY
gEFORE our next issue Thanks
giving Day will have come. II
is, therefore, not unfitting that we
anticipate a little to call attention to
the purpose of this national holiday
which has such a warm place in the
hearts of the American people. The
day is observed for officially calling
the people of the nation to the duty
of returning public thanks to Al
mighty God for the blessings vouch
cafed this nation and people. And
surely there is none, no matter what
sorrow’s and reverses may have come
to him, who cannot find some reason
for sincere thanksgiving. The first
part of the day should be given to
public worship in one’s accustomed
place of worship, for to overlook this
is to neglect its most important duty,
and then the other portion of the day
should be devoted to such recreation
and feasting as may be fitting. And
surely our day will be happily spent
if we share our good things with
others, who may be absent from home
or have no home of their own. Make
someone happy and you will spend the
best and happiest Thanksgiving Day
you have ever had.

THE NEGRO’S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE f

w 4 I
A moment’s thought will easily convince open-minded 2
3« persons that the contribution of the Negro to American 2
< • nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from
< • negligible. ^Jo element of American life has so subtly and ij!
;; yet clearly Woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking Z
3 3 an<l acting as the American Negro. He came with the first |
J; explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from
J ; the first the foundation of the American prosperity and
3 3 the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and ♦£
; ; economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply
; ; on the striving white men in Europe and America but also 2
; ; on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for jr
; two centuries. The military defense of, this land has de- |
; pended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial j
; wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does j
3 the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American litera- |
3 ture. but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep
significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among ,the 3
choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played 3
a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, ; -

when he was there before and will
maintain his honorable record again.
The elections this year have shown
many significant results.
WHEN DO WE GET ITT
WHEN are we going to get that
much-needed municipal playJ
ground on North Twenty-first street?
The Men’s Sendee League and other
agencies were busy and successful in
securing favorable action by the city
commissioners but up to the present
there are no signs of fulfilment of the
promise. What’s the trouble? When
is our wideawake park commissioner
going to begin to move things? The
play ground has long been needed.
Speed up, Joe.
AND THAT REMINDS US
(^PEAKING of the municipal play
ground reminds us that there are
a good many other improvements
needed in the North end of the city
which all classes of citizens should go
after in dead earnest. More street lights
and better paved streets can be se
| cured if we go after them right.
JUDGE GEORGE’S VICTORY
_
The victory of Judge George, sig
nificant as it is, is yet not so signifi
cant as the way it has been received.
It is true that Mr. George’s election
I is due partially to the republican
landslide. But it is also true that
Mr. George was supported loyally by
a large constituency of Caucasians
who were fair enough to feel -that ir
return for the support of colored vot
crs they should give their support tc
them.
Still up and above even this good
augury is the friendly, even kindly
way in which the city over whose
judicial affairs he must help preside
has accepted him. Lawyers have been
unstinted in their praise. Jurists have
voiced welcome. And the newspapers
have been as they should have been—
fair.
After all, it is upon the attitude of
the newspapers that much of your
public sentiment depends. And Judge
George and people of rtilor are to be
congratulated upon having had so sig
nal an event as the election of a
Judge received with such an attitude
of friendliness.
The Tribune particularly comes in
for a full measure of appreciation.
The News, the American and the
Examiner deserve thanks. It is some
thing new In journalism as regards
the relationship of the races. May
Judge George's election be the begin
ning of a city-wide feeling of better
will and understanding. — Chicago

Thanksgiving
Reveries
and Queries
asscsi ...
Thanksgiving is tlie first of Ameri- j
ca’s own holidays. As the earliest to I
1 be set apart its observance runs
through the whole history of the na
tion. Like most other distinctive fea
tures of our American order of life it 1
sprang up out of the local soil. It was
at first and for many years colonial.
It became national only as its ob
servance spread from town to t^wn, j
from colony to colony, from state to
state.
While It has a historical Interest ail :
its own, Thanksgiving Is Identified
with no single event, no special occa
sion, no definite date In onr history.
It recalls no single act, as does "In
dependence day.” It commemorates
the name and service of no man, as do
the birthdays of Washington and Lin
coln. It Is not shared with other peo
ples as are Christmas and New Years.
Day Identified With All.
The American Thanksgiving day Is
identified with the soli we till, for
whose harvest we give thanks. It is,
therefore, identified with the toll and
the toilers whose tillage and produc
tive labor, inventive skill, constructive
and distributive enterprise feed, clothe,
shelter and develop our own people
and many of their kith and kin in the
old fatherlands across the seas.
"Thanksgiving” Is another and greater
Labor day. it recalls and calls forth
all kinds of effort by all classes of peo
ple. It merges the common product of
the common toil, for the national pos
session of which the President and
governors of the whole people caH
upon them to tnank their Father
Creator and the good providence of
the Oreat Provider. In thus remind
ing ns that onr harvests are the joint
product of Mother Nature, the chil
dren of men and Father Ood, Thanks
giving is first of all the American peo
ple’s expression of grateful apprecia
1 tion for their “country"—its land nnd
waters, its fertility and beauty; for
our great out-of-doors nature. Its re
sponse to human effort, to man’s dis
covery and his working with natural
law. Thanksgiving is. therefore, na
ture’s harvest-name holiday.
Celebrate* Entire Year.
And yet it celebrates the full round
j year. While held after harvest,
Thanksgiving does not let us forget
the seed and sowing of the springtime,
the plowing nnd weeding of the sum
mer as vital to the atll-inclusive process
of reaping. Moreover, and above all,
In this linking soil and skies, eartn and
the heavens. It is the Day of Remem
brance of the Father of us all, as the
great giver not only hut as the greatest
i worker, with whom we may work ajid
i who works with all for the common
i good. “My father worketh hitherto
; and I work.” said the greatest of the
ions of Ood nnd the children of men.
These reveries awaken queries, also,
Iraham Taylor declares, in the Chi
cago Daily News. They spring from
tha alncerest recognition and most ap
preciative asknowledgment that the
American people are and always have
been, a composite race, and that adopt
ed citizens from many lands have done
very much to make America what It
is, Tne early history of the United
States Interweaves line, strong strands
of English. Scotch, Celtic, French,
Spanish and Jewish life, with not few
or feeble negro traits, and tolls, and
some relics of Indian and old Mexican
civilization. The human conquest ami
amazing development of this new con
tinent cannot be accounted for without
crediting ntueh to the toll and many
other enrichments of the Latin, Slnvlc
nnd southeastern European immi
grants. Contributions to our culture
In art nnd philosophy and to our culti
vation of the land nnd our commerce
of the sea come from the older civili
zations of China. India and Japan.
Founders of Country's Faith.
Foundations of America’s faith were
laid by pilgrims and cavaliers, Cntho
llcs and Protestants, each In Its own
way, yet all to the same great end.
They are merely listed here as
queries raised by our Thanksgiving
reveries, their discussion being re
served for timely opportunity. Their
mere statement, however, makes bold
the undoubting faith #nd hope that
these, nnd all other problems of Amer
ican life, entt all nnd only he solved
nnd settled by the spirit inspiring
Katherine Lee Rates’ great patriotic
hymn thnt breathes the soul of our
American Thanksgiving:
O, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain.
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America, America.
God send His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brother
hood
From sea to shining sea.
O, beautiful for heroes proved
Tn liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life
America, America.
May God thy gold refine,
’Till all success be nobleness
And every grain divine
Holiday of the Home.
Tnonksgivlng is a day sacred to the
home. More of it Is spent at home
OCCASIONS FOR
THANKSGIVING
THAT we have bread enough and to
spare for the hungry of the earth.
That our ancient order of obedience
and orderly change stands fast.
For the hope of better social under
standing and just dealings.
That our great opportunities of world
wide helpfulness remain.
That the idea of brotherhood among
the nations has taken root.
For the true men and women who
are giving lives of service.
For leaders raised up and the oppor
tunity of following them.
For the open door of knowledge and
the desire for truth awake in men.
For joys of simple living and the un
noticed saints.
For work and rejt, the patience that
continues, the ideals that soar.
For the love of home in all of us. and
its satisfaction when it comes.
That the world is bigger than we,
and the joy of adventure which it brings.

than at church, In family reunions
than In public assemblies, In serving
the needy, the lonely, and the home
less than In formal services of wor
ship. Its sanctuary Is the thoughtful,
thankful heart more than the house of
worship. Who that has lived In any
of our oldest colonial states, especially
In New England, can ever forget, or
fall to have a glow of heart at every
remembrance <>f the real home Thanks
giving day ns observed on the soil
from which It sprang? At the very
mention of It, what visions reappear,
of the long preceding preparations for
It at the old family homestead; of the
letters flying forth and back between
the old folks at home and the scat
tered young folks In their new homes,
or transient abodes; of the railway
station platforms and cars thronged
by merry home-bound chlldren-of-an
older-growth, and children's children ;
of greetings at the threshold of the old
farm house or village home, mingling
the smiles and laughter of the living
with tears or silent, sorrowing, undy
ing yearning for “the touch of a van
ished hand and tne sound of a voice
that Is still"; of the bountifully laden, i
beautifully decorated family table,
with Atnerlon’s fatted turkey as a
“welcome home," Instead of the “fatted
calf” of ancient days.
National Development.
In the truest American homes the
Thanksgiving family reunion is all
that Robert Burns sang of “The Cot
ter’s Saturday Night," and still more
for being more Joyous, though no less
religious for all that. And there are
Americans, not a few, who feel deep
down In their hearts for their own
country what the Scotch singer sang
of his: "From scenes like these old
Scotia’s grandeur springs."
Out of this population more wonder
fully composite than constitutes the
citizenship of any other nation, a very
distinctive national development has
evolved. It is recognized by ourselves
and other peoples as distinctively our
own. As such, nnd as a distinct contri
bution to the world’s possessions and
to the heritage of mankind, it Is herfe
and now being considered, without any
comparison with the characteristics of
other nations, as better or worse.
This lift-spirit of the American peo
ple Is a fact, and a fact that raises
these two queries at least: Is this
American life or spirit distinct and
valuable enough to be conserved, de
veloped and perpetuated? If so, how
can It maintain Its distinct identity
and value, enriched by the accessions
from abroad which are appreciated
and welcomed, without being trans
formed, diluted. or deteriorated?
These are not only fair questions, but
are queries that are forcing themselves
upon the more or less strained atten
tion of our people.
**
Thankfulness and Hope
Thanksgiving is not, at its best,
what anybody says or does, but rather
what he feels. And so it is, that all
of us, equal members In a free de
mocracy, are privileged to draw our
inventories together, to total up the
credit side of our ledger of life as one
united people, and to Join together in
a festival of good cheer and hearty
thanks for what the past has yielded;
to face the future with a mutual hope
fulness in what it holds In Store
Farm and Ranch.
If. A. A. C. P. ACTIVE
IN MISSOURI POLITICS
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 21.—Active
participation in the election in this
city Tuesday, November 4, by the local
branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through
questionaries to candidates and rec
ommendations on balloting, was one of
the features of voting here.
A questionary was sent all candi
dates on state and county tickets, ask
ing their stand on the Ku Klux Klan
and upon local issues affecting col
ored citizens. The questions and re
plies of candidates classified merely
as satisfactory, unsatisfactory or fail
ed to reply, together with a recom-1
mended ticket was placed on a half
page advertisement purchased by the
association in the local weekly. Work
ers from the branch passed out the
association ballots at all porting
places.
This method of procedure was used
effectively in the city campaign last
spring by the branch, it is the the
ory of the association here that it can
spend its money to no better advan
tage than by giving wide publicity
to the office seekers who will give a
square deal if elected. It asks no fav
ors of newspapers, buying political
space at political rates, as the can
didates do.

“The Gift of Black Folk.”
By Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois.
I Published by The Stratford Company.
| 234 Boylston St., Boston, 9, Mass,
j Price $2.00. By mail $2.15.
This volume is published by the
Knights of Columbus in its Racial
Contribution Series. Its preface is
by Dr. Edward F. McSweeny, and
contains a short historical sketch of
the early settlements in this country
and the diverse nations and religions
that came here. He deplores the ef
fort today to set up caste control in
the United States. Then comes Dr.
Du Bois’ story of the Negro and his
contribution to this conglomerate na
tion.
Dr. Du Bois in his prescript opens
with one of his superb paragraphs:
“We who know,” he says, “may not
forget but must forever* spread the
splendid, sordid truth that out of the
most lowly and persecuted of men,
Man made America. And that what
Man has here begun with all its want
and imperfection, with all its mag
nificent promise and grotesque fail
ure, will some day blossom in the
souls of the Lowly.” Then he leaves
this height and proceeds to tell us in
300 well massed pages of what the
Negro has contributed to the civiliza
tion of America. He shows the value
of the slaves dull labor, how it made
possible the development of the South.
And then he shows us what the free
man and woman have done in indus
try, in the army, in art, literature,
music, and last in religion. It is a
clearly told, and to many will be a
new, story.
How many people for instance,
know that De Bore, a West Indian
Negro, reared in Louisiana, discov
ered the process of sugar granula
tion, or that the Negro Rillieux in
vented a vacuum pan that revolution
ized the method of refining sugar?
Matzeliger, a New England Negro
though born in Butch Guiana, laid
the foundation for the success of the
United Shoe Machinery Company by
inventing a machine for lasting shoes.
But most important of all to the
Americans of today, old and young,
was the Negro caterer, who invented
ice cream. Dr. Du Bois does not give
us the man’s name, but he assures us
that the colored caterers, along with
chicken ai la Maryland and Philadel
phia terrapin, put this dish upon the
table of the New World.
The chapter on reconstruction has
some of the facts that “The Birth of
a Nation” has tried too successfully
to root out of our histories. We have
set forth some of the reforms ac
complished by the reconstruction leg
islatures, the establishment of a pub
lic school system, the building of
penal and charitable institutions and
a better system of finance. He quotes
from an enemy of the. movement:
“Even those who mocked and sneered
at the Negro legislatore brought now
and then words of praise. It is not
all shame, not all burlesque. They
have a genuine interest and a genuine
earnestness in the business of the as
sembly which we are bound to rec
ognize and respect. They have an
earnest purpose, born of conviction
that their conditions are not fully
assured, which lends a sort of dig
nity to their proceedings. The bar
barous animated gargon in which
they so often indulge is on occasion
seen to be so transparently sincere
and weighty in their minds that sym
pathy supplants disguest.” They
were trying to improve their condi
tion but as Dr. Du Bois aptly says:
“Unfortunately there was one thing
that the white South feared more
than Negro dishonesty, ignorance and
incompetency, and that was Negro
[ honesty, knowledge and efficiency."
The book is full of material of use
in the many controversies that arise
when two people talk the race prob
lem. We congratulate the Knights
of Columbus on their series, and only
hope that we may learn of the other
elements in the country in as clear
and concise and interesting a volume
as this one on the Black Folk.
HISTORY FIGURES Ilf GREAT
MEAT SHOW AT STOCK EVENT
Chicago, 111., Nov. 21.—A compre
hensive educational exhibit of meat
housed in a special building construct
ed in exact duplication of the dwell
ing in which the immortal Shakes
peare was born, is to he a new and
unique feature at the international
Live Stock Exposition. This informa-'
tion has been made public by the Na
tional Live Stock and Meat Board,
which is sponsoring the attraction.
Finishing touches are now being ap
plied to this replica of the house at
Stratford-on-Avon, which occupies one
of the most prominent sites bn the
exposition grounds. The novel idea
of reproducing the poet’s home for
this occasion is explained by the fact
that a portion of the old birthplace
was utilized as a meat market. The
exhibit building has been christened
“The Meat Shop”.
PINCH AUCTIONEER
TO BID AT SALE
New York Bowery Has an
Unusual Sale.
New York.—A silent auction, where
the bidders pinch the auctioneer and
where transactions run to as high as
$250,000 a day Is one of the most
unique markets on the Bowery.
It Is here that three-fourths of the
unredeemed pledges of pawnbrokers
In the large Eastern cities are dis
posed of. Nothing Is dealt In but Jew
elry, watches, antiques and such valu
able articles ns high-class field glasses.
Several buildings on the west side
of the Bowery, between Hester and
Canal streets, house the auction rooms
and exchanges. The membership Is
exclusive. The personnel seldom
varies, except as sons or nephews of
the traders succeed to the business
as the older men retire or die. Nearly
all are wealthy.
Sales Are Held Dally.
Pawnbrokers bring their unredeemed
pledges to the auction rooms where
sales are held dally. A pawnbroker
hands In for sale, for lnstnnce, a dia
mond ring and tells how much he
wants for It—confidentially to the
auctioneer. The auctioneer passes
the ring ffom hand to hand in a circle
of speculators about him. He Is seat
ed In a chair on an elevation. When
the article Is returned, he asks for a
hid.
The bidders express their ambitions
hy pinching the anatomy of the auc
tioneer at various points from his
ankle to Ills neck. When the bidding
opens he Is literally covered with
hands. Each hand has Its allotted
place. The auctioneer knows, for ex
ample, that the hand on his right knee
Is that of Morris Hirsch, the hand on
the left knee is that of Jacob Kahlno
wltz, the band grasping his left elbow
Is that of Hyman Cohan, and so on.
He feels a certain squeeze repeated
In a certain way. That means Morrla
Hirsch has offered $200.
Pay After Auction.
That may be the only squeeze the
auctioneer gets on the article on dis
play ; or he may get a dozen others.
He hands the article to th«r*mnn whose
last squeeze Indicated the highest bid.
A memorandum Is made and another
article offered. No cash Is exchanged
and settlements are made at the end
of the auction.
Sales are made with bewildering
speed. When the stock Is disposed of,
the buyers troop downstairs to the
ground floor exchange rooms and get
ready for business.
The dealers have little stalls In the
main exchange where Jewelry purchas
er! visit them. Little time Is wasted
In bargaining and business is usually
brisk.
