This Week In Religion
and Thought
BY ROBT. L. MOODY
FIGHTING UNAMERIGAN
ACTIVITIES
Last Thursday morning hund
reds of teachers and others listen
ed to Congressman Martin Die-s.
He made us think soberly and
shudder at times as he told us a
bout the activities of the “fifth
column” in America. JJust this
morning we heard the report of
the discovery of a time bomb that
had been placed in a U. S. troop
ship. Had this bomb exploded,
18,000 soldiers and 750 officers,
wives and children might have
been killed or drowned at sea.
We are convinced that there are
enemies working within.
But as Negroes, we love our
country, we have none other to
which td pledge loyalty. Yet wo
are often denied the privilege to
work in such industries that arc
imperative for National Defense.

minutes while Mr. DePriest unfolded the relation of
Negro and the Republican party arid its advan
tages and the* relation of the Negro and the Demo

Priest’s talk, one could have heard a pin drop. The

(Political Advertisement’
greatest talk I have ever heard in my life. I am es
pecially thankful to you for inviting me to this meet
ing”.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Louis Meyer also said to Mr.
Galloway, “I don’t ever remember enjoying a speech
as well as I have Mr. DePriest’s tonight. It was one
of the greatest talks I have ever heard, and indeed, I
must thank you for inviting us to come out and hear
him.”
Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Johnson also expressed ap
proval of Mr. DePriest’s talk and seemed to be speech
less. But they expressed their feelings by nodding
their heads and waving their hands.
No Real Negro Democrats—
•
Mr. DePriest said there were no real Negro
Democrats at heart and that for a matter of fact, he
could not see why any white man would be a Demo
crat. Mr. DePriest said that any Negro who was a
Democrat was either, for economic reasons and spec
ial privileges,—a mooching “Uncle Torn” with a hat
in his hand or a disgruntled Republican!.
One could hear nothing but approval from the
entire audience, both black and white. Seemingly
everybody in the hall tried to make his way to the
stage to shake Mr. DePriest’s hand and express his
appreciation for the wonderful masterpiece of the
0',pnii}g. Even though they were dismissed, many
who were unable to reach the stage and shake his
hand, stood in amazement and seemed to get as much
pleasure out of watching the others shake his hand
as if they had gotten tjo the stage.
Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Mahammitt, alSb expressed
their appreciation for being present to hear this
wonderful orator.
Mrs. H. J. Pin'kett and Mrs. C, L«ouis Meyer,
^»med to enjoy exchanging their views of Mr. De
Priest s talk.
It was like an old fashion revival meeting! Ev
erybody seemed to want to shake someone’s hand,
for their hearts were filled with joy. And the mo
ment they were dismissed, they rose to their feet
,,rith smiles on their faces, reaching for each others
hand and expressing their appreciation for being
present to hear Mr. DePriest’s speech.
Mr. DePriest asked the Negroes a point blank
question—“What is the difference between an Ala
bama Democrat and a Nebraska Democrat?” The
Democrat will hang you to a tree in Alabama, and
the only reason that they d(on’t in Nebraska is be
cause there are a few good Republicans between you
^nd them.
The Anti-Lynching Bill—
If the Democrats who have been in office for 7
years thought as much of you as they pretend to
just before election, why have they not passed the
Anti-Lynching Bill? They had a full working ctorps
in the House and in the Senate. And “if you please
my frierids”, who is the President, failed to say one
Word in the interest of the passage of the Anti-lynch
Bill.
Mr. DePriest stated that some people say that
the Negro has paid his debt to Abraham Lincoln.
But he for one, and he thought, “No other Negro can
ever pay his debt to the emartcipator”.
Mr. DePriest is the vice-president of the Young
Ppnublican League of the State of Illinois, an organ
ization of both Negroes and whites. He is the first
Negro who; has ever been elected to that office. He
;s also ward committeeman of the third ward there.
While here, he received instruction^ to take a
- f <r ]sjew York, for that City said they must
hr>ve him to close the fight of the Republicans of the
™~onrl largest city in the United States. Mr. De
Priest stated that he was always glad accept an in
vitation to come to Omaha, for the peple seemed to
o-o out of their way to make his stay a pleasant one.
While in the state, he is expected to go to Lincoln, to
a speech for a Republican Rally. Fridav. Nov
ember 1.
Mr. DePriest was the house-guest of Mr. and
Mrs. J. S. LaCour of 2421 Maple St, while in the city.
Mr. DePriest was met at the station by a large
committee of enthusiastic Republicans and was es
corted in twp parades south on 24th street to 31st and
R streets and back through the Colored district of
North Omaha. He was entertained at breakfast at
the Two Sisters Tea Room. After the parade he was
served lunph also at the Two Sisters Tea Room. At
7 o’clock he was the honored guest at a banquet at
St. John AME. Church, 22nd and Willis Avenue.
Omahans, both white and black, will remember
Mr. DePriest’s talk with a hope of hearing him in the
near future.
From the conversation of many Democrats at
tending the rally, many of them were converted to
their own Republican party by Mr. DePriest’s speech.
