SELLING HOOVER BIG JOB The Democrats are making much of the increased registration of their party, especially in San Francisco, h;. i: almost reached the hundred thousand mark, and still going good. Of course this trend toward the Bour bons is m to the G. 0. P. leaders, who know that they have a large-sizeed job, to sell Hoover this year. The small business man who finds it exceedingly hard sledging to keep going, lays it on Hoover; the mail out of a j s it is Hoover’s fault, the fellow who calls loudly for beer and light wine, to quench his thirst, has got it in for Hoover. So all the way down the line of human w oe." all are going to test the ingenuity of the spell-binders to convince these elements of doubt and dis trust who have voted the Republican ticket for years, be cause they believed that prosperity was contingent upon the continuance of the Republicans in power; but seeing the magic of their slogans fail in the face of world-wide depression, they have no patience with a condition that faiis to yield to the methods of statesmen and economists. REGULAR OR IRREGULAR Senator Borah wiho has so much regard for the 18th amendment, and such little respect for the 14th and 15th, has declared that he won’t support the ticket, and as the democratic platform is dripping wet he finds him self without a party unless he goes into the third party; but this Senator is like most of the insurgents, he remains regular to get his share of committee assignments. QUALITY AND NOT QUANTITY? The kevote sermon of Grand Chaplain Gregg, last Sunday to the Masons, was an inspiring and wholesome epositior. of modem tendencies of our fraternities. Those who listem-d to his denunciations and admonitions could not but recognize the inconsistencies and pretensions of our fraternal leaders that he so cleverly uncovered. If our organizations are to survive, more attention must be paid to the quality of applicants, and less to quantity. We have too many persons with ritualistic memories, without other essentials. BLAME RESTS ON ADULTS Education of motorists in traffic safety is still in the little red school house stage of development, in the opinion of Harold G. Hoffman, Motor Vehicle Commis sioner of New Jersey, who believes that adults are largely responsible for the slow progressof safety training. Although good work has been done in installing safety codes in the young, Commissioner Hoffman com ment.-. "Our efforts in teaching safety to children cannot come to full fruition until we have been successful in bringing to the adult motorists a full sense of responsi bility to his own children and others. We must engender, too, a general and wholesome respect for the motor laws designed to promote safety on the highways, and insists upon their equitable enforcement., Commi'-ioner Hoffman also points out that while Huger children have demonstrated an aptitude to as similate safe practices, the elder ones, now in high school and college have not shown the same tendency. Statistics show that these youngsters are notor iousiy unsafe drivers, and for the tragic accident record of youth, I am convinced that our high schools and colleg es must accept a large share of responsibility. The schools prepare these boys and girls for various activities of life; out when it comes to an activity that we are sure most of them will take up, that of driving a car, they do comparatively little. Education in the traffic field is universal in its ap plication. Too often e tempted to confine consider ation of it to children, and even t othe motor vehicle own er and operator, forgetting that the automobile manufact urer, the motor vehicle administrator, the highway engin eer, the legislator, and even the comer traffic cop always must go on acquiring new and more useful knowledge. * IN DEFEENSE OF WOMEN— by Fajy M. Jackson. ffi ffi Negro journals thru-out the land are reporting with conspicuous display the victory of Mrs. Mary C. Booze, national committeewoman from Mississippi, in a nation wide protest against the confirmation of B. B. Montgom ery as U. S. Marshall because of sladerous remarks he is alleged to have made about colored women. Making a personal appeal to various organizations newspapers, and leaders in civic and political circles, Mrs. Booze also solicited the aid of certain members of the United States Senate and placed the issue squarely before them. In practically every state in the Union citizens were asked to urge their senators to oppose Montgom ery’s nomination. The response of various members of the senate and the ultimate blocking of the confirmation indicate that more and more the Negro is becoming alert to the power of his ballot. It was left to California’s senator, Samuel M. Shortridge, to lead the fight and in order that we may appreciate the efforts of our statesman to ujtfiold the high ideals of our race and nation, the Recorder is presenting a letter from Mrs. Booze to one of our local women who joined in the protest. The letter follows: Mrs. Betty Hill, Woman’s Republican Study Club 1800 South San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. I am writing to thank you and the members of your club who so promntly brought to the rescue of Ne gro women of the nation valuable services of Senator Samuel M. Shortridge in opposing the confirmation by the United States Senate, the appointment of B. B. Mont gomery of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and finally terminat ed by the President’s withdrawal of his name' I If this man, Montgomery, had been confirmed by the Senate, it would have served as a license to him and others like him, to have continued their slurring remarks about our women. Of course he denied the charges like all of them do when they are confronted with opposition, but the proof was so positive, and Senator Shortridge’s prosecution of the charges so definite there was nothing else the President could do but withdraw the appoint ment. It is so seldom that a United States Senator from another state will oppose the confirmation of an appoint ment by the President when the Senators ffom the state in which the appointment is made urges the confirmation, you can realize just what Senator Shortridge was up a gainst and had to overcome. I sincerely hope that the members of our race in California, regardless of faction or party fealty will rally to the support of Senator Shortridge in the approaching campaign. It wrould be nothing short of a tragedy and great neglect on our part if he should be defeated If you can think of any other way I can help to bring about his overwhelming return to the Senate, please let me know. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I have just writ ten the Senator. Faithfully yours, MARY C. BOOZE. Senator Shortridge’s action speaks for itself. It can scarcely be said that it was a political gesture to se cure the favor of colored voters in his own state; far too much opposition will be heaped upon him by members of his own party and especially the southern element in Con gress which resents arty breaking down of their prejudic es. It is, on the other hand, quite evident that he simply had the manhood to speak out with all the power of his office against this dastardly insult to American woman hood and if, incidentally, he is rewarded with apprecia tion by the people who are directly benefited by his cour ageous stand, political gesture or no political gesture, he isdeserving of their vote. i OUR POLICY BUGS GONE MAD i We have often heard of horses returning to a burn-^ ing stable only to be consumed by the raging flames, but it’s beyond our ability to understand just what the inocu lation is that causes so many of our silly minded women, and men, to tramp up and down the streets and in and out of deserted dives where not many days ago they- were openly playing the numbers, trying their best to overtake the writers that the “law” have so effectively driven to cover. In all seriousness it is pathetic to watch these dreamland goofs drifting around almost in a state of como, with their hopes almost at the breaking point, try ing as best they can to find somebody, anybody, who will i j take their nickels and dimes and quarters, and sometimes i dollars, in exchange for a wee piece of paper with a few numbers on it. The habit has become an obsession. They ■ are living hopes but are gradually dying in despair and ■ we sometimes hope that a few of ’em would die as an ex I ample toothers. In the meantime let us epress a word of appreciation for the noble work our city government is - doing in ridding the citv of such a vicious crime. ! The sooner the Negro gets it into his three-plv • skull that it’s only by hard work and perseverance that he ; can exist in this nerve racking civilization to any degree i of success, the sooner he will cease taking so much delight i in sitting around hours at a time doing absolutely noth ing. Idleness is a disease self imposed and no 'man is ■ entitled to any respect who does not seek to earn his own ■ bread. 1 POINT of LAW Parent and Child ' ,rv The most universal private relatior is that of parent and child. Childrer are of two sorts, namely, legitimate and spurious or illegitimate. The j former is he that is born in lawful wedlock or a competent time after, wards. In England the rule is nar. 1 rowed, because the marriage must be , celebrated before the birth of the child. With us a child is legitimate if born in wedlock or within ten months after the dissolution of the 1 marriage. This is a presumption of law that can be only disputed by the ! parents or the descendants of them, Of course if the laws of nature make , it possible that the husband is the ’ father the presumption is conclusive. The reason for the English rule that in order for a child to be legit. • innate it must be born in wedlock wa« to fix the protection, maintenance and education of the child. This con strued as being better answered by legitimating all children born after wedlock. The great uncertainty ir. the proof that the child was really begotten by the same .man would create a great dicouragement to the matrimonial state. One main induce i ment to marriage was not only the desire to have children, but also the desire of procreating lawful heirs. In this state, like the rule of the Roman law, a child born before wed lock becomes legitimate by the sub sequent marriage of its parents. Even though the child hay have reached the age of majority before the mar. | riage of its parents the results of leg ! itimation takes place. The parent must give the child support and education suitable to his circumstances and the child must give the parents his services and earnings. In cases of illegitimate children the | mother is entitled to the child’s ser vices and earnings. The obligation of the parents extend to illegitimate children but the parentage of the child must first be established. LYYNCHING ON T|E WANE It is encouraging to note that at I least there is evidence to support the contention that the lynching evil in America can be corrected. According to the records compiled at Tuskegee Institute and research, there were 5 lynchings in the first six j months of 1932. This number is the [ I. . same as the number for the first *,ix months of 1931. In 1922 ten years ago. there were 30 persons lynched in the first six months of the yt.ir. During the first six months of 1932, there were 13 cases of preven tion of lynching by officers of the law. Of these, £ were Northern and Western states and 11 in Southern states. In 9 of the instances the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented; in the other 4 instances force was used to repel the would-be lynchers; thus a total of 18 persons, five whites and 13 Negroes, were saved from death at the hands of mobs. Of the persons lynched, 2 were white and 3 were Negroes. The of fenses charged were attempted rape, 1; murder, 1; threatening men, 1; dynamiting a store, 1. The states in which lynching* oc curred and the number in each state are as follows: Florida, 1; Kansas. 1; Kentucky, 1; Ohio, 1; Texas, 1. | EDUCATORS ARE NOT MADE IN A DAY by R. A. ADAMS (The Literary Service Bureau) 1 One of the most serious and de terrent weaknesses of Negro edueu tional institutions is the kaleidoscope | | changes in their faculties. These are due to politics—racial politics in se cular schools and church politics in the religious ones. In the chuerh schools these fluc tuations come with changes in eccles iastic supervisors, "because so man;, Negro bishops and ministers are gi\. en to placing their friends and even members of their own families in these teaching positions, even when such persons are manifestly incotn. i petent. The secular schools are usually al lied to the state government, affoid ing ample scope for politics,’ and. in them, the “outs” are eternally aftei the “ins”, to get their places; and this causes the frequent upheavals. Experience counts much in any work, and it is especially jndispens- j able in educational work, and only long tenure and extensive experience j can fully qualify one as an educator, i Th» rapid chat gi: ar.J t.,c u:i of raw, inexperienced instructors have always militated against efficiency in Negro sc.kmIs and hi*v ei ... them in the effort to secure proper rating and reciprocal recognition. The elimin ation of selfishness and rank favor, itism and the substitution of strict business methods will greatly improve the standing and the efficiency of these schools. HABITS by A. B. MANN (The Literary Service Bureau) •BUTTIN IN" This is slang parlance, but it fits in here, and the hope is that many guilty persons may read and reform. Two men were talking and without invitation or provocation, another proceeded to inject his opinion con oeraing the matter of their conversa tion. A woman was talking on the phone, when a woman listener ex claimed, “That ought to be me; I’d tell her where to get off at.” She added, “Why don’t you cuss her out ?” A boy and a girl were sitting together engager! in a serious conversation when another girl dropped down on ^he seat near them saying, “You uns will have to stop your spoonin for a while, ‘cause I’m here, now.” As a general thing people are 100 polite to ask “How did you get into the Jconversation?” Few would be apt to quote, “Two’s company and three’s a crowd,” but, if these “but inSkis” could read thoughts they would become very uncomfortable. ft -.- _ ..Read the.....
