WELL FOLKS! THE NEW DEAL IN CITY POUT. I S MIGHT COME FOR NEGROES SOON! It has been ss cl that for over thirty years we hi\e been domin ated by certain powerful forces in City politics wh.’ve boasted | of heinjr fair to I -Negroes oy ms pens ng a C'*rfa:n J hnny Horton few forms of patronage out to a cer tain few people within our race in th:* city; this patronage has come by way of the PRIVILEGE route which ha* proven a great backset to the pro rt -- of this community in the way of legitimate initiative to live by the **. w t at of thy brow”. Our fine young men anti women have always been tr • “goat in the deal" because their ecb ration hasn’t meant one iota when it ha* come to making use of their training in the face of the PATRON AGE system. So much for this; let’s turn to another phase at issue and travel logically to the remedy and reach a sane conclusion. • • * The cure for most of this trouble will rest in organized support of those City or prospective City offic ials who will dispense the City’s em ployment in a way that hundreds of worthy men and women of color will secure positions and jobs; this will make life worth living. • • » We are certain that we’ll come nearer getting our PRO-RATA of employment when we put the right Ross Drug Store Now Located At 2122 N. 24th St. We. 2770 men in the City Hall, which will be the beginning of “THE NEW DEAL IN CITY POLITICS FOR NEGRO.

It is not unus ual for doctors to die of diseases con tracted and of exposure necessitated in the line of duty. One of the most celebrated doctors of the world died from a mosquito bite while he was seeking the cause of yellow fever, and generally doctors die premature ly as result of exposure and over-ex. ertion. A few months ago, during a flood in and around Omaha, a young doc tor was called. Finding that he could not reach the patient in his car, this martyr to duty borrowed a horse and made attempt riding him as the horse swam amid the rushing tor rent. After a while the horse made his way to shore, but the gallant rid er perished. This is just one of the thousands of physicians who deserves a place in the catalogue of heroes, ven though they remain unsung.

The Following Allegations I am in a Position To Prove January 24th, 1933, a little girl 6 years of age, by the name of Loma Bath, while playing near her home, 2208 North 30th St., around the hour of 6 p. m„ was enticed by two White boys, by the names of Wleberg and Gillium, to follow them under the pretence that each would give her a nickel. The mother of the girl of a Colored woman, had gone to work. The boys lived in the same neighbor hood, and had known the girls since birth. The child followed the boys to a certain spot in the old brick yard, near 30th and Lake Sts. At the trial the mother had to testi fy for her daughter, because the child was too young to take an oath. The boys have admitted to their guilt, Compliments of Jepsen BROS.

At the spot where the girl was taken was near the home of one of the boys. Inci dently the mother of one of the boys Wanted her son for something and called him, which ended their inten tions. Had this not happened, the writer is not in a position to forecast -what damage might have been done. The trial is over. The boys were not placed on the witness stand. The boys were held in the Riverview home pending sentence by the Judge. R. C. Price, Chairman has succeeded in having the boys sent to the Reform school at Kearney, Nebraska, after being doubled crossed by members of the Legal Redress Committee, NAA CP. Omaha Branch. Out of a com mittee of six there were only two who stood up with Mr. Price. That did not stop the courage of this gallant man, he plowed over this committee, had the boys placed in the Reform school, burying his committee alive. Mr. Price was told by a race wom an working in the Juvenile Depart ment, that it would not be the best policy to have these boys sentenced to the Reform school, because it will react as a repisal in bringing to light a rape case committed by a member of our group. The Juvenile Depart ment refuses to give Mr. Price the name of this man. Stating, “The mother did not chose to prosecute, because she did not want this stain traveling along in life with her child.” The Juvenile Department ex hibited a scarecrow, “We fear racial trouble.” To this scarecrow, Mr. Price re plied, “If there is such as that on file this man should be prosecuted’” “We do not want crimes of that nature covered up on our group.” “We want justice dispensed indiscriminantely.” “Swing the axe of justice up and down, right and left, knock down whomsoever may be in your path.

Garwin (Zenith City Publishers, 616 East 4th St., Duluth, Minnesota) * * * “Satire in Brown” is somewhat dif ferent from the usual run of racial books that I have been commenting upon during the past two year§. In style it is strictly humorous and while it covers the entire gauntlet of racial subjects it does so in parables. * * u. There is hardly a racial element but what is the basis of some sketch and we can well imagine the fun the author has in being able to bring out a moral while poking fun at, and showing up many weaknesses of the race, and individuals, yet doing so in a manner that would cause each real life personage to laugh at his own perspective. * * * This little book, (it’s hardly more than a pamphlet,) is one to be read when you are all tired out and dis couraged from actually living the role of a member of the “downtrodden” race, causing you to laugh away your real troubles, focusing attention on a problem and by a parable that mak es your own troubles seem childish. * * * Judging by the humorous and des criptive manner by Gordon V. Gar win has written “Satire in Brown”, I would be keenly interested in spend ing an evening devouring a novel on racial life from his pen. * * * For fifty cents every member of the family will get a good laugh out of “Satire in Brown”. * * * —Clifford C. Mitchell.
