P., Dec. 7) We wish to suggest some things which we hope the “official guides” in South America will not fail to point out to the North Americans who are to visit them in the entour age of Mr. Herbert Hoover. They need not point out any of their skyscrapers, for they have none tihat can vie with the Woolworth building, nor any of their banks, for they cannot compete with Wall street, nor any of their criminals, for they have none to equal those of Chi cago. Let them point out : That in South America men of any race and color can hold any office they are able to hold. That the absence of race discri minations in civil privileges have done no harm to anybody. That children in public schools, without color lines, do not grow up into enmity but to friendship. That lynching, which is one of the indispensable industries of Mississip pi, is found to be absolutely needless in Brazil, which has cities with larger Negro populations than any city of Mississippi. That race prejudice is not “natural and instinctive,” but an abnormality and a misfit in civilzation. That Nordics, while they may be uesful, are not at all necessary for the continued operation of the solar system. You cannot astonish us materially, Miss South America, but show our skepticism some of the doubted won ders of your soul. NOTED BROOKLYN DIVINE SPEAKS BEFORE NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 7.— (A. N. P.)—Dr. II. H. Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational church of Brooklyn, New York, spoke to the student body of A. and T. college last night on the needs of prepara tion in life. The speaker is a grad uate of Fisk university and the school of theology of Yale. The speaker emphasized the need for preparation because the cross represented by the progress of the world, is the cross beam of the mas sive structure which grew out of the preparation of the engineer who de signed it. The increasing progress oi the world today increases the prob lems, and this means a greater need for each person to prepare his owr life. • • A A A A A.

P.) —Colored opponents of Governor A1 Smith in the recent presidential cam paign who were against the New York democratic executive because of the possibility, in the event of his election, that he might appoint dem ocratic and prejudiced judges to the United States Supreme Court, are given something to think about by dispatches from Washington which indicate that Senator William E. Borah, republican from Idaho, is be ing considered unofficially as a pos sible appointee to the chief justice ship of that court. It is pointed out by those who dis cuss this question that Hoover, as president, will find himself indebted to the Idaho orator. During the cam paign, Borah was the only one of the so-called republican irreconcilables, who took a positive stand and ren dered yeoman service for the repub lican candidate. It was Borah who set out upon the trail of A1 Smith when there seemed to be no one else to do the job and gave the democrat ic candidate as good as he received, or better. For this service he must be re warded, the political speculators ar gue. They see no proper place for him except in the cabinet or on the supreme court bench. If he went into the cabinet, it would be as sec retary of state, but there are many persons who don't believe that Borah, in his superior attitude, would ac cept that position. As chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate, he has had the power to East India Hair Grower Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair, Will Also Restore the Strength, Vital* ity and Beauty of the Hair.

Convenient Terms V * compel secretaries of state to comi by him in order to proceed with theii treaty-making and other agreements It would not be like him to put him self into the place of an official whom he has been accustomed tc dogging. Borah is regarded as one of ths greatest constitutional lawyers in America, but, cddly enough, he has been one of the most powerful en emies of a political square deal foi the Negro. He has expressed the be lief publicly that the Negro was en franchised too soon, and has giver aid and comfort to southerners who have sought to justify the south’s vio lation of the Negro’s citizenship rights. On the other hand: He is one of the great protagonists of the prohibition amendment to the constitution and has fought against its nullification in any form. Thus the possibility of his appoint ment to the supreme court is fraught with extreme danger to the Negro’s citizenship. CHECK-UP SHOWS ASTOUNDING REASONS FOR IMMORALITY IN WINDY CITY.

A1914-16-18 Dodge St. Omnha, X One of the causes for the high disparity of figures between white girls and colored girls was given as the ability of white girls who are ac costed by police to produce an al ibi; they show that they have a job. Or else, instead of walking the streets, these white girls work on 'what is known as “call,” thereby keeping out of the eyes of the police. In addition to these causes, it was also brought out that police are more active in breaking in residences of colored neighborhoods than they are in white. Two police sergeants who have worked in the colored district claimed that the high percentage of immor ality among colored girls is in part due to the lack of gainful employ ment and that the girls are encour aged to barter themselves away by enterprising landladies and men who live off their earnings. Capt. George P. O’Connor of the police department pointed out that the present condition is an after-ef fect of the immigration of Negroes into Chicago, for service in various industries. When the business of these industries slackens, hunders of people are thrown, out of work and resort to a loose manner of living in order to sustain themselves. FORMER A. & T. PROF.
