Sixty Take Their Places
News of the arre t of the pickets
spread like wildfire 'through the city
and was fanned by ithe app» arance of
the late afternoon addition of the
Washington News which carried a pic
ture on its front page showing the
pick ts being herded into the “wagon-”
Thee result was that on Thursday
morning six.y jtoung coloreed men and
women appeared at the hall wearing
^mall signs and :ach with a noose
and a length or rope about his neck,
making grim and silent protest
against the omission of the discussion
of lynching by the conference. Th y
wero not molested k as (they stood
aero! s ‘the stro.t from the hall, off
the sidewalk- Their signs were said
to be lawful, since they wen* small
enough to be pinned to the clothing.
The young people made an impressive
picture and the nooses of rope about
their necks caused wide-: pread com
ment among nhe delegates and drew
all newspaper photographer^
This business is in deadly earnest,”
a stat ment from the N A A.C.P. de
clared- “Lynching L, not a joking
business. We believe every Negro in
thf* country, young and old. should
preach and act against lynching on
ev ry occasion, whether it is iri or
der or nor- No sacrifice is too- great
to wipe out this barbarity.* The young
people in Washington have Eet an
eexample for /the regt of the country.
We should use all our energies and
all the money we. can ifpare to fight
lynching- No one of us should b?
too educated or too dignified to fight
lynching We defy .anyone .to. read

Charles H. Houston, vice dean of

DEBATE TOURNAMENT HELD
In a debate tournament represent
ing the high schools- of Omaha and
Council Bluffs at Central High sohool
Tuesday evening Dec. 8, 1934, John
F. Rogers, fthe only N<3gm to ever
land & position on the Central High
Debate team, defeated the Technical
High DJbate team in a Missouri Val
ley debate.
The question debated was; Resolved,
that the Federal Government should
adoilt the policy of equalizing edu
cational opportunities tbroughont the
nation by means of annual grants to
the severed states for elementary and
secondary education. The deciding
issue advanced by Rogers jras that
there existed a need for federal aid
to education to equalize educational
opportunities Between the Negro and
th3 White students. The Negro
schools of the south are hi a deplora
ble condition because of a lack of(
revenue, for they are not provided
for by thfa general property tax, rfm
ply because of racial prejudice.

A TRUE CHRISTMAS STORY
»
The rain of, the past 24 hours had turned
into a stinging sleet; carried on the wings
of a raging gale. The wind in its frozen
fury whipped about the lean-to shack.
It whistled through the loose boards and
gaping cracks. Momentarily it threatened
to sweep away the hovel and leave its
occupants to face the wrath of the storm without shelter ot
any kind.
Inside'of this hovel there sat before the dying embers
of a few sticks of wood, a mail and woman. The hovel was
icy cold. The man and the woman sat huddled together.
There was no furniture, but in a corner a pile of old rags
and straw, — protruding were two hunger-pinched faces.
“What are we goin’ to do, Pa? What are,we goin’ to
do?" _ -
The woman’s trembling voice had broken the silence of
the past hour.
Silently he took her hand in his and held it fast His
grip tightened until his knuckles showed white.
Slowly he released" her hand and she turned to look at
the corner of the room.
_ “They’re asleep, Pa” * »
Outside the wind'howled; the shack trembled Its re
sfetance; with the suddenness of a canon’s crack the life
of a tree was snapped. *
As suddenly came the calm,—the storm had spent its
fury.
^ttMother, I’m hungry.”
""The little woman went to the corner.. Sh—Sh—go to
sleep. Mother’s here with Daddy. Daddy will get you
something to eat—after a while.”
A mother, wept while hungry children slept.
, < , , ®
“Ma—Ma”—Tie man-knelt beside the crtimpled form
of the woman. Gently he drew her to ‘him and-held her
dose. Her'he a jt was-broken; sobs shook her slight body;
tears coursed from the eyes of the man.
Suddenly something snapped; the body in the arms of
the man stiffened and then, as* quickly relaxed. ,

Judge Not that Ye be Not Judged
“Judge not, that ye be nt<, judged.” j
Have you ever, as you onwardly \
trudged along the road of Life, j
stopped to consider the meaning of
this :mall but mighty phrase? if
more of us would stopj„o measure out
thoroughly, the meaning of this
phrase, this world would be a better
place in which to live. When we
criticize others, do we stop to think,
that maybe the sam thin? that we
are accusing them of doing, or maybe,
omething a great deal worse, can
be said, truthfully, about us?
There is one person, in this world,
that has not, as one time or other,
in his life, done something that was
not entirely right. Just because you
happened to make a mi. take, are you
to be blamed for it for the resit of
your life? If a person slips into the
lowest ebbs, does he have to stay
there, is there no hope or way for him
to repent and lead a clean life? No.
nci; asi long as there are loose-mouthed
no-brained people, who keep pushing
him back into the cavern, he is trying
so hard to escape from, by talking
things, that If they were suddenly
called upon to prove, could not, or if
they were cailed upon ,o give a his
tory of their life, would not skip some
of th.i incidents that .hey had com-1
mitted.
Do you think for one moment, that
a person, who'is trying to do right,
will continue, if someone is contin
ualy reminding him of his past mis
takes by throwing them up in front
of him. by one means or another? No,
..he Human Con titution pot strong
enough. Sd, is it too much to say,
that in Judging a person, or. in speak
ing against a person, one should be
very, very careful?
This little poem will help to illus
trate (Jie point, that is neceftt ary for
the Old as Well as the Young to
learn
“Be Careful What You Say” •
“In speaking of a Person’s Faults,
PRAY, don’t forget, your OWN,
Remember those with Homes of Glass,
should seldom throw a Stone:
If we hare nothing else to do, but talk
of those who tin,
’Tis be'*.er we commence at Home, and
from THAT POINT begin ”
“Wo have no right to judge a man,
until he’s fairly tried,
Should we not like his pompany, we

Somo may have faults, and who has
not, the Old as well as Young,
For Aught we know, we may have
