But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, be had com passion on him—St. Lake 10:33. Here is a case when a man who made no profession of religion, wa. actually more religious than those wac Cii make such profesion. When two bigoted, narrow, exclusive, high churchmen each had "passed by, on the other side” and left a man wounded, bleeding, groaning and dy ing, this non-professor showed mercy offered relief and saved his life. One is inclined to wish this mans name had been recorded, but, think ing mire seriously he will realize no name could have added anything to the title. "The Good Samaritan". He will realize that as this man's deeds made him immortal without a name, so he becomes the prototype of the mill:; ns of nameless nobles whose name are unknown but whose deeds win for them immorality of influence for good. * “riTrs "This Moral M addle" Subject for Opening Vesper Dr Craig Morris.

And sometimes the turning is not even so gradual! Colors seem to fade almost before the price tag has been removed and the new piece has been properly introduced to its surroundinga. In draperies, much has been done towards producing sun fast materials and in some instances their manufacturers are ready to guarantee their sunfast quality. In most upholstery fabrics, there is no assurance of permanent color, particularly in these days of keen price competition. Generally speak ing, one gets what one pays for, and the better the merchandise, the more chance one has of its covering retaining the pleasing color that caught the purchaser's eye in the store. Bine is one of the meet fugitive of colors, followed by yellow. Green, rusts and browns are apt to be more fixed, especially in Che darker shades. Cottons may be expected to fade the most quickly, and then come wool and silk. Mo hair probably takes the best dye of any of the upholstery fabrics due to the peculiar structure of the fibre. Whereas most fibres take the dye on the surface only, the mo hair fibre is tubular in structure and has a great affinity for arid dyes. A good quality of velmo or mohair velvet and the new flat-woven up holstery mohairs, may be expected to be virtually sunproof. Much experimental dye work has been done in thia country since ths war. when foreign sources of dy» were cut off. A great improve ment baa already been made te domestic dyes and more may be looked for in points both of sm» proofing and of beauty of color. Robert 'Bob' Troyer PUBLIC DEFENDER Always Ready To Help Protect Your Rights Exploitation Is Not Education “I realize that I have no os eft I function in my present position,” said a white college president in charge at a Negro institution. “I do not approve their aspirations to many things. I cannot accept the students in my house -is I would white students because it might lead to an interracial ro mance. Marrying is such a difficult problem at the best that I should not like to see one of my children make a failure in life by marrying a Ne gro.” “In other words,” continued he, “we live in two different worlds. While I am among them I cannot become a part of them. How then can I help them under these circumstances ? ” This was an o^fen confession, and it may be good for the soul. To ease his mind and salve his conscience this president should leave his post immed iately. He has reached the end of his usefulness- It may be that he has nev er been useful there, and he is just now finding it out. Henry T. McDonald, the head of Storer College, did not think this way the other day. however, when he re fused the tablet dedicated to John Brown. He doubtless believes that he represented his Negro student body end the majority of the genuflecting Negroes when he frustrated a plan to ave the truth about John Brow* •ondad down to posterity. In stran glehold fashion he would stifle the sen timent which makes John Brown a martyr and would have him referred to as a lunatic in keeping with the bias of present-day American re writers of history. Negroes must learn in their own schools, then, that the most dramatic figure in their liberation was a crim inal who achieved nothing. Anyone who makes the supreme sacrifice for equality and justice for all, therefore, must be questioned as to his sanity be cause the oppressor cannot understand how it can be otherwise. McDonald, however, is not the worst of the whites in charge of Negro schools. I am inclined to think that he is much better than most of them He was unfortunately fortunate in having the opportunity to demostrate that there are certain things which the most kindly disposed whites can not be expected to do for Negroes. Kow, then, can a white man serve a. s pokes man for Negroes? Thomas Jesse Jones believes that God has called him for this special purpose. We may combine against McDonald and force him out of Storer College. I sincerely hope that this very thing will be done. McDonald should be eliminated there at once; but there are scores of others worse than McDonald. They are making a living exploiting tne race as heads of other institutions which interest them only as a means to earn a livelihood. For example, I am acquainted with another white exploiter at the head of a Negro institution, who will not ad dress a colored girl as Miss, and to avoid the use of a title in speaking to colored women he addresses them as his kin. One colored woman was sharp enough to reply to him thus when he addressed her as auntie: “Oh, I am so glad that I have found my lost relatives at last. My mother often told me that I had some distin guished kin, and just to think that you are my nephew makes me feel glad." Another such exploiter in charge of li RE-ELECT W.

COMPLIMENTS FROM GRACE BERGER —COUNTY CLERK— To The Omaha Guide. Its j! Managing Editor, and to Its Patrons. - t* -S (POLITICAL ADV.) a Negro college never wears his hat on the campus. His confidential ex planation is that he might have to lift it when he meets a Negro woman. Of course, that would never do. "White supremacy" would be lost in the Ne gro school. As we realize more and more that education is not merely imparting in formation which is expected to pro duce certain results, we see very clear ly the inconsistency of the position of white persons as executives of Negro institutions. These misfits belong to the very group working otft the segre gation of the Negro, and they ccn> into these institutions merely to earn a living. They make no particular contribution to the development cf education, for they are not scholarly enough to influence educational theory: and they are so far out of sympathy with the Negro that they cannot make any contribution to educational prac tice. I nese exploiters are not bringing to such imtitutions large sums of mon ey which the Negroes cannot obtain, for the institutions now directed by Negroes are receiving larger appro priations than those under the man agement of the exploiting whites. Wny tarry, then, in getting rid of thi burden? The whites with all their opportunities should be much better prepared to support their indigent teachers and ministers who are thus being unloaded on Negroes impover. is bed by lack of economic opportunity. Our socalled thinkers, however, sel dom see inevitable results of this un sound policy. Not long ago when I wrote the textbook entitled NEGRO MAKERS OF HISTORY I was criti cized by a Negro who said I should have had as an illustration the cut of the white mas who established a cer tain Negro college. I had to explain that the book was to give an account of what the Negro has done, not of what has been done for him. The school referred to, moreover, was in no sense a Negro schooL It had very few Negro teachers and only one Negro trustee. The policy of the school was determined altogether by the whites without giving the Negro credit for having a thought on edu cation. In other words, it was a white man’s school which Negroes were permitted to attend. If they picked up here and there something to help them, well and good; if not, may God help them! : Negro teachers who are unable to : understand this are of no more service in the eudcation of their own people than are the unsympathetic whites. In fact, such Negroes are actually “white persons” instructing Negroes because they are imparting only those facts which the traducers have carefully se lected for this particular purpose. Many Negroes have never understood that education is a development from within. One of the exploiters of Negroes re ferred to me the other day as being op posed to interracial cooperation. On the contrary. I am very much inter ested in the working of the races to gether for the general welfare of the country. I daily assist white ladies and gentlemen in matters of research and publication and they likewise help me in what I am doing; but I do not permit any incompetent looking for a living or promoting selfish scheme* to use me as a means to an end. It seems to me the antithesis of inter racial cooperation when one element is working to keep the other down to secure an advantage to an already priviledged group. Interracial coop eration becomes racial oppression and extermination when it does not pro ceed on the basis of equality and jus tice for all. C. G. WOODSON.
