Eehind News

From The World-Herald.

’Twas a Sham Battle; Jesse Janes
Acquires Some Liquid Assets.
Spoofing—the ins and outs of
the ami-lynching filibuster were
no appreciated in the senate gal
leries. From there is looked like
any other dull debate. But down
on the floor nearly everyone had
a good time.
^ ou could see it in their faces.
A ice-president Barner. the Texan,
walked around with a cigar in his
mouth, grinning incessantly. Sen
ators slyly absented fhemselves
from roll call occasionally and
playfully poked fun at each other
ip debate. Only the countenance
of Floor Leader Robinson wore a
slightly pained expression, sug
gesting a remote inner emotional
eonflic between the necessity of
getting down to business and the
incffabili*v of the situation.
What "hev all knew that the
galleries did not know was the
-fact that only a few of the nomin
a' administration leaders, who
were supnosed to be for the bill,
were really for it. While Presi
dent Roosevelt Itvas privately
twitting hem during the first
few days of the filibuster, they
were more or less laying them
selves flat so the filibusters would
have no trouble walking over
them.
Cake—There were several rea
sons for the lack of real ir+erest
in the hill itself. One was that it
was thought to he improperly
drawn. At least it represented a
somewhat radical viewpoint on the
subject. Many of its friends pri
va ely thought it was unconstitu
t’onal. Furthermore, the legisla
tive situation was such that it
never had a chance and nearly
every insider knew it.
But perhaps an important factor
may be partly explained by relat
ing a storv which has just come
to light, about what happened in
the 1922 senatorial fight over the
anti-lvnching bill.
The senate judiciary commit
tee, then controlled by republi
cans decided the bill was uncon
s itutional and killed it. A repub
lican leader was irate when he
heard about it. He went to the
chairman and said the bill must
be reported to the senate floor for
consideration no matter what the
committee thought about its con
stitutionality. Unless it was, his
constituents would defeat him for
re-election he is supposed to have
said.
Thereupon, six or more com
mittee members were persuaded
to change their minds and ap
prove the bill, with the under
standing that the democrats
would filibuster against it and
prevent its passage by the senate.
This was done and everyone was
happy.
There is no evidence that any
thing like that was done this time,
but it is probable that, in the end,
senators on both sides of the issue
similarly will have their cake and
eat it too.

H. T.—Please tell me if I should
make a change? I am so worried
about the way things are now.
Ans:—Just because you are out on
your own hook don’t think you have
to have somebody to fall back on and
help you on- Don’t try to run away
when things begin to look dark for
you—You made your business a suc
cess at one time and you can do it
again, but you’ll have to buck up and
“weather the storm ”
i R. M. T.—Can you tell me how
1 my winrow got broken ?
Ans:—It appears that you were
right about your window, for if you
had been just a few minutes later >
com.ng home you would have had a
burglar. Since this burgler couldn’t
get in your home through the door,
he took the liberty to break your win
dow with a stick—You had a narrow
escape.
H A.—I want to know how long 3
will keep working ?
|
-Ans:—The people you are working
ior seem to be planning to leave town
w.thin the next two weeks, and that
will apparently throw you out of a
job It will be many, many months
before y'ou will work again after you
lose this job, for it appears that you
will have to spend your time recuper
ating after the operation you’ll have
to have next month
- — ■
E. W.—Why does my boy friend
act so ignoring to me at times?
Ans:—When this “certain girl” is
around, your boy friends seems to be
come rather excited for he really has
a crush on her. He is rather young
and hasn’t been going with girls long,
and finds it hard to decide which girl
he had rather be with. Don’t let him
embarass you by ignoring you.—You
are only twelve years old, and you
surely ought to think enough of your
reputation to choose a boy friend that
at least has enough respect for you
to stay with you on a date.
M T—What will happen if I con
tinue to go with this friend of mine?
Ans:—If this affair between you
and this man you met in the show,
continues much longer there’s going
to be plenty that will happen- His
wife appears to be in the habit of
“checking up” on him even though
she doesn’t live with him. In order
to avoid trouble with your husband,
you shouldn’t be sneaking off with
other men, at least with someone you
know will never mean a thing to you
H. D.—Do you think my husband
married me because he was in love
with me?
Ans: — Although your husband
thinks a "lot of you, it appears that he
didn’t marry you because of his feel
ings for you—-for detailed informa
tion see note attached to this column
and write to me for a private reply.
R- R—I have been thinking of
| moving and 3 want to know if I should
, wait for what I want ?
Ans:—If you really want to find any
happiness with your boy friend, I ad
vise you to wait for him to return, for
if you move, he won’t trouble him
self to look you up. The way he
walked out on you is just temporary—
He is just trying you out to see if you
really care anything about him
M. R. T.—Will you kindly tell me
what happened to my little boy’s
clothes? I can’t find them anywhere?
Ans:—Your little boy is fond of
playing games and it appears that
quite frequently he plays “Indian”. On
| one of these occasions he put on his
Indian suit in the wood house, and for
got all about taking them in the
house when he finished playing.

me along the financial line any time i

SHE WAS TOO LIGHT FOR SHOW
So Talented Alice Whitman Is Given
Notice, Despite Her Reputation—
Connie Gives Broadway “Brown
skins . ”
New York City, May 14—Follow
ing the opening of Connie's Inn, Louis
Sobol, famous Broadway column.st
wrote: Quote: “Which reminds me,
outstanding among the exciting flashes
is a blonde, pretty fast stepping gal
named Alice Whitman. She looks
about 20 on the floor- She must be
older because I understand she is the
mama of Pops and Louie, now one of
the minor sensations of London.”
This was only one of the many favor
able notices that Alice Whitman, of
the famous Whitman sisters received
when she opened in the new Connie’s
show, “Connie’s Hot Chocolates of
1935.”
The Irony and uncertainty of Broad
way is shown clearly by the fact that
following her brilliant opening, she
was handed her notice, e,en while she
was receiving the congratulations of
her many friends. It is alleged that
Al.ce, who is rated by many as one of
the greatest of the female tap dancers,
was released from her contract be
cause she was too “light skinned.” It
is evident that when Connie Immer
man advertises an “all colored revue"
he means all colored.
WHAT MATTERS
By R. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
It matters not when I shall die,
If friends be distant, far or nigh,
iTt matters not where I shall be,
When comes “the end of all,” for me,
But that which matters, after all
Is, when shall come the solemn call,
If final reckoning shall tell
That I have lived my own life well.
The others covet honor, fame,
Exalted place, illustrious name,
And seek to win the world’s appause,
It shall be mine, in noble cause
To strive and suffer, day by day,
(And count it honor that I may,)
On others blessings to bestow,
And joy of humble service know.
WHAT’S IN A NAME
By R A Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
One may quote Shakespeare’s query
“What’s in a name?” and may be
convinced of the logic of his conclu
sion that “A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet,” yet, but people
still think seriously of the significance
of names.
The Jews considered the Bible
names significant. Chief among
them were David, Joseph, Abel, Abra
ham, Jacob, Moses, Noah, John, Ruth
Naomi, Mary, Elizabeth, and Hannah.
But there were very few Cains, Ahabs,
Jezebels and Rahabs
It may be argued that in modern
times names have only psychological
influence, but few parents would be
inclined to give the names of notor
ious characters to their children
There may be “nothing to it,” but
thoughtful people are careful in re
gard to the names given their children
lest, in some way, knowing the history
and the reputation of an undesirable
person the child might be subject to
ridicule or might be influenced to im-1
itate the life of such a one, to the
detriment of the child Yes, there is
something in a name.
Proverbs and Parables

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
A GOOD RUN vs. A Bad Stand
A good general knows how to re
treat when he finds himself in an un
tenable position. The world will ever
admire the courage and the loyalty of
the “brave six-hundred,” at Balaklava,
but always the world will condemn the
one who ordered those men to “charge
and ride into the jaws of death.”
Better to have retreated than to have
been eliminated.
There is the amusing story of the
Irishman who said “I’d rather be a
coward a few minutes than a corpse
the balance of my life; and this is in
harmony with the quaint old couplet,
“He that fights and runs away, will
live to fight another day.” So, the
logic of this axiom is sound, that it is
better to retreat and prepare for an

BETHESDA—HOUSE OF MERCY
Text: Now, there is at Jerusalem
by the sheep market a pool which is
called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda
—John 5:2.
The name Bethesda means House of
Mercy. It was given to the pool be
cause in mercy many found healing.
In the world today we see the urgent
need for many Bethesdas.
1. The Christian Church. Every
church building should be a house of
mercy where the afflicted in body and
mind and the needy of all classes may
find mercy and healing.
2- All Places of Human Abode
True “The world is full of heavy
hearts,” and every home should be a
house of mercy where the homeless,
the hungry, the friendless may be
given relief.
3. Divine Presence Necessary. The
Bethesda here was beneficial because
the angel of the Lord came down and
troubled the water. So, for a church
or a home to be contributory to hu
man betterment it is necessary that
Divine Presence be manifest there.
4 Divine Mercy Never Exhausted.
The pool was troubled only once a
year, but when Jesus came there was
no particular time at which people
might be blessed. So, today, those
who are more fortunate should be ever
ready to relieve those who need mercy,
just as Christ is ready, and willing,
and anxious to help, and bless and
save. Yes let us make every house
a HOUSE OF MERCY!”

White Quits Virgin
Island Council Over
Roosevelt’s Silence
—
New York, May 16.—Walter
White, secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, definitely
broke with the President this
week when he resigned from the
Virgin Islands Council in protest
over Mr. Roosevelt’s silence dur
ing the anti-lynching filibuster.
In his letter to the President,
Mr. White exressed disappoint
ment “that you as President did
not see your way clear to make a
public pronouncement by means
of a message to the Senate or
otherwise, and by giving your
open endorsement to the anti
lynching bill and your obstruc
tionists who, under the antiquat
ed rules of the Senate were able
to thwrart the desire of three
times their number of senators to
vote for the bill and of many mil
lions of Americans, North and
South, and of all races and creeds
who insisted upon passage of a
bill to end lynching.
“It is my belief that the utter
less shameless filibuster could not
have withstood the pressure of
public opinion had you spoken
out against it. The Southern
press itself took the lead in con
demning the crass and unethical
means taken by the filibusters to
kill the measure.
“I feel, therefore, that in just
ice to the cause I serve I cannot
continue to remain even a small
part of your official family. I re
gret the necessity of taking this
action, but I do not see that I can
follow any other course with
honor to the cause I serve and to
myself. ’ ’
Mr. White was named a mem
ber of the Advisory Committee of
the Virgin Islands Council by
President Roosevelt in February
1934. The other members named
were Secretary of the Interior
Ickes. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, Alfred K. Stern of Chi
cago, George Foster Peabody of
Saratoga Springs, Dr. Mordecai
Johnson of Howard University
and Charles W. Taussig of New
York City.

And He Got the Fever
Mr. Roy Hayden, after work
nip at the Central Market for a
number of years as general utili
ty man, decided, about five years
ago. that he might just as* well
put forth an effort to become^en
eral utility man and proprieior of
a first class grocery store. After
.consulting Mrs Pauline Hayden,
his wife, they, both, who were at
that time employed; saving un
til they reached the sum of $100.
and started a grocery at 27th and
Franklin Streets.
Mrs. Hayden is a hard worker
from early until late. Mr. Hay
den says the success they have
had in their venture is due to
Mrs. Hayden’s consiatn efforts to
gain another customer with her
broad smile and pleasant dispo
sition.
The old saving for a number of
years is that a Negro could not
successfully operate a grocery on
24 h Street. Many have tried
and failed. On Friday, May 17th,
Mr. and Mrs. Hayden will cele
brate iheir first year of operating
a well stocked grocery at 24th
and Decatur Streets. They cor
dially extend an invitation to
their many friends and well-wish
ers to pay them a visit on this
date.
$31,000,000 Spent By
Italy in Abyssinian
Rome, May 14—Mussolini’s mili
tary program in Africa is said to
have cost $31,000,000 up-to-date. War
preparations are being intensified as
shown by the fact that African “mili
tary” expenses in February amounted
to $5,000,000 while in March they
amounted to $14,000,000. The total
strength of Italian armed forces re
cently se..„ to Eritreau and Italian
Somaliland is between 40,000 and
50,000 men. This figure does not in
clude troops already in these colonies
at the outbreak of the Italo-Abyssin
ian conflict.
Citv Wide Rent
Strike Planned
New York —CNA— Prepara
tions for the city-wide rent strike
gained considerable momentum
when two prominent organiza
tions, the Bronx Tenants League
and Harlem Unemployed Council
pledged unstinting support. The
strike plans were initiated by the
Consolidated Tenants League, a
Harlem group -with a membership
of over 5.000 Negro tenants.
According to the plans of the
strike committee of the Consoli
dated Tenants League, each house
organized or to be organized, will
be considered as a unit. Each unit
is to elect one or two delegates,
depending upon the number of
apartments, to the strike commit
tee. Basing itself upon the con
ditions in the house, each unit
will draw up its special demands
for rent reductions and improve
ment's.
100 Houses Organized
According to League members
there are over 100 well organized
houses in Harlem. It is expected
that there will be more than 1,000
organized houses when the strike
starts.
All tenants and workers in the
five boroughs will be approached
for support by representatives of
the strike committee, an authori
tative spokesman for the League
stated.
“Such powerful mass organiza
tions as the Bronx Tenants Lea
gue, the Unemployment Councils
and the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights have already pledg
ed to rally their members behind
the city wide strike movement/'
he declared.
Recently, the Graham Court As
sociation, an affiliate of the Con
solidated Tenants League, was
able to defeat a proposed rent
boost by involving outside mass
support.
It is believed that this victory
has given impetus to the League
to involve as many mass organiza
tions as possible in the strike to
enure a successful conclusion.
