Mane Miller: My problem is
not one of love but of economies.
I work hard and spend my money
for the upkeep of our home.
My husband works, sometimes,
lie’s hot-tempered and he doesn’t
hestitate to “bawl out’’ his enr
ployer and get fired or quit his
job. I’m disgusted w:th him. I
can make a living for the two
children and get along without
him so I am almost ready to dump
him- Would that be wrong, when
he is so trifling.—Sadie M.
Sadie M: You might get along
without your husband but it
would not he right to deprive
your children of the presence and
the help of their father. More
than this, you do not have Bible
grounds for divorce. Better try
awhile longer. Talk to your hus
band; tell him what you have in
mind unless he will do better.
Don’t rush, Sadie M. Things may
improve.—Maxie Miller.

Diviniy and Destiny
By R. A. Adam
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Often we hear the ad lament:
“1 cannot undertand
"Why such afflictions sore are
sent,
E’en from Jehovah’s hand.”
But, “searching” we can never
find,
However wise we be,
Unto the “Great Eternal
M bid,”
The all-mysterious key.
So it is best, beyond a doubt,
In deep humility.
That we, with faith loyal, de
vout,
Commit our destiny.
To Him whose wisdom ;s com
plete,
And Who, by every test.
Whate’er His Providence may
mete,
Knoweth and doeth BEST.

Sentenced to Chair
For Kidnapping
Muskegee, Okla., |July 17, (CNA)—
| Kidnap a policeman and go to the
! electric chair/ Kidnap a Negro work
er and go scot-free. The Govem
| ment has spent a lot of time and
1 money to convict Arthur Gooch of
kidnapping two Paris, Texas, police
men and carrying them into Okla
homa. Neither of the policemen was
slain, but Gooch must die for giving
them an unwanted “ride.”
Observers will recall that the Gov
ernment failed to take any action un
der the Lindbergh law when Claude
Neal, Negro accused of murder, was
transported from Alabama into Flor
ida, before being lynched in the for
mer state. Evidently a man’s color
and social status have a great deal
to do with the degree of protection
which he receives from the law.

“In Beginn!ng, God”
By R. A. Adams
I (For the Literary Service Bureau)
With these words Moses begins
I his history of the material uni
verse, and then explains the won
derful equilibrium and unvarying
precision of this marvelous sys
tem. God was in the beginning of
it; God was its author; His wis
■ dom contrived; His power in
itiated it; and yet sustains it.
! So, all things that are worth con
sideration had and must have God
in the beginning.
Life is full of opportunities and
of responsibilities. Its activities
and possibilities are almost with
out limit; but to accomplish the
i"‘Greatest Good” God must be in
thfi beginning of it. This is the
force of the admonition, “Re
; member thy Creator in the days
of thy youth.” In every move
ment for good, God in beginning
will mean much- God should be
in the conception, the planning,
and then in the execution. But,
in so many instances this is re
vered, causing dismal failures.
The founders of this nation rec
ognized God in beginning. In the j
Declaration of I n d e pendence, |
they recognized Him and ap
pealed to Him; and so, in the
! formation of the Constitution, j
But, as prosperity i n c reased
there was the increased tendency
to end God to the rear. And sad 1
and deplorable failures have re'
suited. The hope of the nationi
and the hope of the world lies in j
the return of the slogan, ‘‘God in,
I beginning”—and God all of the;
I way. |
SHARPS AND FLATS
AMONG
THE MUSICIANS
Well, well, we’re back on the
jch again after a grand and glo
rious vacation “on acoeunt of.’’
We hardly know where to be'
gin, as the musicians have been
doing so much, but we’ll start
with Paul Kin? win has been
gone for two weeks, and my how
all his friends miss him. Paul is
now a member of, Liorial Hamp

The popular Mr. O. C. Winn
visited his home town for a fewr
days last wreek. Same old 0. C.,

It seems that all the croners got
together at a certain waitresses’
birthday party at Jessies Tavern
and such vocalizing as we’ve nev
er heard before, and so many
tears, as we’ve never seen before
brought to the eyes of the charm
j ing young ladies by all the touch
ing songs by O. C, Winn, Melvin
Small, Percy Walker, and George
j Vann.
i All the saxophone players in
; town must have felt like riff in
the other night from the looks of
'Jessies Tavern. Some were blow
j ing loud, wrong, high, low and
long, so it was hard for us to de
cide who was the best. So let
you saxophones get together
iagain and riff some more huh?
! In. ease you would like to know

get in the contest just call on

Five Murders In
1935 In Struggle For
Better Conditions
New York, July 17, CNA—Five
Negroes were among the 22 work
ers killed during the first six
months of this year because they
took part in struggle for better
economic and social conditions,
according to figures compiled by
the International Labor Defense
and made public last week.
The five Negroes include one
who was lynched because of his
activity in organizing sharecrop
pers in Alabama. The other four
Negroes were murdered during
the police terror that swept Har
lem on March 19 and the days fol
lowing, after the Negro people
there had risen in protest against
their long suffering. Other
lynchings, of which there
have been many in 1935, are not
included in this compilation, the
ILD stated, because they did not
arise directly out of economic
struggles.
The five Negroes who died in
the first six months of 1935 in the
fight for better living conditions
were as follows:
Mar. 18 Abe Young, Sladen, Miss.
Young was an organizer among
sharecroppers. He was threat"
ened by Hardie Mackie, an agent
of the landlords, who pulled a
gun. Young shot in self defense
and was lynched.
Mar. 20, James Thompson
New York City.
Shot by Detective Nicholas
Canipo, during police terror that
swept Harlem when the Negro
people rose in resentment against
their long-accumulated grievance.
Mar -23, Andrew Lyons,
New York City
Died of internal injuries re
ceived during the Harlem events
of March 19.
Mar. 24, Edward Laurie,
New York City.
Murdered by Foliceinan Abra
ham Zabutinski on the “excuse’
that he had “talked hack.’’ This
was part of the police reign of ter
ror established in Harlem.
June 24, Thomas Wilstrom
New York City.
Died of fractured skull re
ceived at hands of police in
March 1 events in Harlem.

A GIRL’S PROBLEMS

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Alta Vesta to Her Father—No. 13.
Dear Father. Aunt Cornelia
found out more about some more
of these bad g>rls and I am sor
ry for them. Two other girls are
sisters and their mother gave
them away. Aunt Cornelia found
out that these two girls didn’t
get mar;red to their father so no
body knows who their father was
and where he went. Poor girls,
I no father .and their mother gave
them away.
Now, Daddy, it seems so mean
! t hat people blame these little
girls for the badness of their
mothers and fathers did. It
seems that everybody ought to be J
sorry for them and be kind to *
them. It looks like the workLifi
mighty mean when they «n’t
help it what their fathers and
mothers do. Seems to me »t is not
fair a bit to treat them that way.
Tell me Father, must all children
that have bad fathers and moth
ers be bad too? Is there no chance
that they can be good anyhow?
0 yes, Daddy, I’ll tell you about
my Easter things, soon.
Lovingly yours,
Alta Vesta.
