Friday, April 13,1940 WHEN NEGROS GET SOME RECOGNITION Every ten years all the negros in every state get the same recognition from the.ir government and that is when the census is taken, This is about the oyily time the southern negro gets into a government picture. We hear much these days about social justice for all but the south has yet to he forced even by the federal government to give the colored folks south of the Mason and Dixon line the same advantages and protection given in the north. The southern negro has no chance of having a voice in any land o f government. The Democrats never expect him to have it and the present administration, Democratic or New Deal, makes no effort to see that these people can have a voice in government. Just now every negro in the south is being hunt­ ed down with a fine tooth comb to be counted under the census so that the south can have additional congressmen or hold what they have under the proportional representation law. Not once has a northern Democratic congressman lifted his voice in behalf of this section of people that still are dis­ franchised. We realize it would be dangerous politically with southern Democrats in control of the present administration. Every effort is being made to legislate against lynching * but congressmen and senators from the south have the bill tied up and will not permit a vote on it. Once more northern Demo­ cratic congressmen join with' their southern brethren to keep ■ the negro from under the protection of the law that mob rule can prevail. At present several negro youths who have had three trials and found guilty in each case have been granted freedom of guilt in murder hearings by a Supreme Court deci­ sion. According to latest reports they fire still being confined yet the highest court decided in their favor. The argument that in many southern counties the negro outnumbers the white three and four to one is no answer to disfranchisement when the constitution makes them free and equal in the eyes o f the law. The New Deal has had seven ■years to right this wrong in the south but dares for political reasons to demand social justice we hear so much about for all the people. The northern negro, if his blood runs- true to his race, is the only hope of the full rights of citizenship being given to his southern brother yet in the chains of slavery so far as citizenship is concerned. The New Deal thus far refuses to even legislate against mob rule. WORD “THRIFT” LEFT OUT OF NEW DEAL ’ James W. Wadsworth, New York Republican, brings to light a peculiar situation that surrounds the New Deal. Never once has FDR during his seven years in the White House used the word “ thrift” in any of his speeches and never have any of his principal lieutenants been permitted to use' it.. Mr. Wadsworth coming from New York and being familiar with'the Roosevelt family history both that,of father and son, he as well as others should not be concerned about the drop­ ping of such a word. Mr. Wadsworth should know that Frank­ lin D. has been raised and lived a “ planned life.” His father died when he was about nineteen years of age leaving a for­ tune of a few millions that look small in the light of some family fortunes o f today. If there is any person who should know his sortj; his strong points and also weak spots, would be the father. Men of the Roosevelt type in those days who could make a fortune by being thrifty, savings gathered here, and there for investments, certainly could see into the future far enough to throw a safeguard around the family fortune by r creating a trust whereby only the interest could be,subject to • wild spending or squandering as the case might be. This trust would also be a protection to the original investment from blue- sky attacks. The elder Roosevelt knew “ thrift” and then paved Mhe way for more thrift by having the family fortune in safe hands of trust management. , K effort is to be made to lead the American people under planned economy to shoulder a mountain o f debt as a substi tute for thrift, Mr. Wadsworth, should not be surprised. If the people enlightened as we tjaink they are do not know the dif­ ference between the two terms or the difference in the direction each point, then there is nothing to do but get ready at some future day to pay the debt or repudiate it which then would be placing us just where Germany found herself following the World War. STARLINGS HERE AND STARLINGS THERE While Ohio cities have been perplexed as to how to solve the problem of ridding their communities from the starlings we find the south is just as much disturbed, for the migration of the little black birds with the long beak and wide spread toes, spade-like tail have found a winter haven down south. The starling In the north is no more o f a nuisance than in the south. It is just as noisy in the early evening, cluttering during-the night and on the war path at day break, making sleep to those in the vicinity almost an impossibility. Nashville, Tenn., has had its first real experience with the once famous English bird. The Banner in response to a Call from residents, asked Dr. G. M. Mayfield, of Vanderbilt Uni­ versity faculty, to make a survey and he reported as many as 100,000 starlings on three streets in "a residential neighbor­ hood. What worries thd citizens o f the south 'is that the star­ lingbeing English, and war like, is driving out most of the song birds. The bluebirds, chickadees, cardinals, flickers, titmice and even the woodpecker, has had to find a new abode to live in peace. The starling is a pest in many ways for it leaves its mark on the sides of buildings, creates a foul condition on the limbs of trees for other pests to follow besides the unusual noise that is so much of a nuisance to those in slumber land. No where in the country is the starling protected by game' laws, Shoot­ ing them or shooting ,at them has.failed to bring results and unusual noises do not arouse much o f a scare in them. Or­ nithologists urge warfare on them not for extinction but to hold them back as they are much more productive than evert the sparrows, who do not mix well with their English cousins. •We read the starling was first introduced into the country by a wealthy New York merchant, Eugene Schiffin, on the theory they Would protect shrubbery and gardens which at the time were being ravaged by insects o f different kinds. It is said the shrubbery was saved in the city but it was not long until Central Park had more starlings than shrubbery. From, there the birds migrated to all parts of the country, parti- . cularly the central and southern states. In the north the birds feed mostly out in the country and return to town or city at night. In the south they remain day and night in the towns and cities. Those who have followed the habits of the starling find they do have Bo rne merits, regardless of the nuisance, to man­ kind. They, love grubs, worms end larvae of all kinds, and at­ tack few growing Crops or fruits. They seldom attack a hill of com, feed only on crop seeds when other food is scarce, hut they are active for grubs and worms in the central states following com planting. Whether the good they do overcomes the damage created by them is the unsolved problem. As to being a-nuisance to mankind there is no question, at least has patience is given a good test. ■ Maybe FDR wants the extra locks for the Panama canal to keep somebody from running off with the works. Tt used to be sung that "we should keep the home fires burning” but now it is a worry as to keeping the auto rolling. Mankind is beset with problems from the cradle to the gy£ve but some are better dodgers than others. While northern farmer* are inostl interested in the price o f Hog*, the southern farmer keeps his eye on the price o f tobacco. A t present there la little sale o f this crop and too bright prospects fo r the future. At. present prices even with the crop adjustment payments, tobacco growers say their income will be below what the ten year depression ayerage has been; What makes the situation complex is England’s refusal to permit the importation o f any American tobac­ co as long as her treaty with Turkey is in force,*The New Deal has not sold the. southern tobacco grower the idea that the Roosevelt-Hull free trade treaties have benefited this country. No treaty has been made with any country to even take ten pounds of American tobacco. The southern to­ bacco grower is on par with the north, ern grain, beef and pork producer. The market pages give you the proof o f the situation regardless o f what Mr. Wallace has to say about free trade benefiting the farmer. March dressed pork prices dropped 20 per cent. There is little or no sale for lard in the wholesale market. The New Deal permits imports of oils and vegetable fats for butter substitutes, all o f which is in competition with What the farmer must produce and he Cannot expect .much better prices as long as agriculture faces a world free trade market. cothm plan wifi be opened hr Memphis, Tenn,, where all families on relief will be able to bay green ololorod stamps and receive brown stomps o f equal value free, which may be exchanged fo r cotton materials. There are 15,- 000 estimated families on direct relief in Memphis territory says the Secre­ tory. The stamps will be .delivered at three-month periods. The merchants accept the stamps and cash them at hanks and the banks collect from Uncle Sam, all o f which is adding toi the mountain o f national debt. Every * state in the union has a larger relief roll in April o f this year than any time since the New Deal took charge. W e believe it is termed “'planned economy” . In glancing over a report of the -Department o f Labor we find that the average city woman spends more for silk stockings than any other item in her clothes budget. Next comes silk and rayon dresses with shoes third. There are more stockings made than any cither individual item women wear, even though it is fashionable to use what nature gave them; Men on the average buy a new overcoat once in five years at an average price of ?21 A new wool suit once in two years at an average price o f $24. “ Gone With the Wind" and “ Grapes of Wrath” have left a trail that is not proving.satisfactory with south­ ern people, like' Californians, who pro­ tested filming the latter, which show ed a class.o f people that did not re­ flect well on the state. “ Gone With the Wind” has revived the old KKK move­ ment in the south and it is .not going to be checked over night, because it is a political issue as well as having a religious tinge. Georgia has been the nation’s capital for the KKK for years. The Atlanta Journal is fight­ ing the Klan movement but floggings go on. The Roosevelt statement re­ flecting on James Farley as a Catho­ lic and not a suitable candidate for president has left a deep scar. One report is in circulation in the south that the New York, Chicago and other Democratic leaders who have a large following o f Catholics are much con­ cerned over the outcome o f the next election. Even i f Roosevelt is nominat­ ed it is believed a large part o f the Catholic vote would be against him. I f you want to get a sharp answer just make some crack down in these southern states intimating they are New Dealers, Nothing will ruffle the fur quicker. They do not like a lot o f things Roosevelt does and what he stands for, but he was elected' they say as a Democrat. They look upon Wallace, Ickea, Harriman, as down- and-out Republicans picked up by Roosevelt and that it is this type that makes up the New Dealers, The apple o f the southern Democrat’s eye is Secretary .Hull. As for Morgenthau and Farley they have little to say. Sub**ib» to "THE HERALD” Every southern newspaper is urg­ ing co-operation with enumerators in taking the census. The Bouth feels H has a chance to make a big showing since hundreds o f northern industries have left the north within the last ten-year canvass. This would give southern states more congressmen, There is some discontent over some of the questions asked hut anything good for the south soon sweetens fhe soUr. All public,* officials, Democratic or­ ganization workers and committeemen are backing the new census in the hope the south can gain more con-, gressmen. The south' has some fear as to the part this nation is to have in the Eu­ ropean war after the Democratic con­ vention or at least after the Novem­ ber election. The exposure o f letters found in Poland by Germany has made many people skeptical. Statements at­ tributed to both Kennedy and Bullitt indicate early charges that Roosevelt had. made pledges to give immediate aid to England and France, The Crom­ well speech in Canada speaks for it­ self. This week following the exposure Bullitt, on orders from Washington, hastily departs by plane for France to escape interviews by newspaper­ men. There are many Democrats that believe Roosevelt will not wait a sec­ ond after the November election to plunge the country into the European mess to make good his promise wheth­ er congress or the people approve or not. It promises to be a major issue in the coming campaign. . Having toured through a number of southern states the first one to have the sales tax was North Carolina, Most o f the state revenue collected in the south is from gasoline, Few of the states have any limit on the rate of taxation either on real estate or personal ^property, In one place in Georgia an election is to be held this month asking the voters to approve an eight per cent tax for 'school pur­ poses, In Ohio even eight mills would frighten a property holder. The valua­ tion on property in this district is very low and the lumber companies that own timberland us well as the rail­ roads pay most o f the tax. This parti­ cular district has a new '$125,000 San­ ta Claus school building for 135 pu­ pils and this year' had to drop all grades above the eighth. Nearby stands the old frame building used now for colored pupils and 96 are herded in that antique structure o f one room. Gov. John W. Brickcr is to be com­ mended fo r his appointment o f George M. Neffner, statistician-in the secre­ tary odf state’s office for ten years, to succeed the late Earl Griffith, Under the Ohio law there is no chance o f the Neffner name being placed] on the primary ballot at this time. Of course Mr. Griffith’s name will be there as. he had filed for the nomination on the Republican ticket. The voter will be forced to write the Neffner name on the ballot and place the X before it. Edward J. Hummel Cincinnati, who has been a candidate for this office many times, also has filed but in the past he never had anything like full support from Hamilton county. His name on the ticket has a better chance this time than any previous primary. Mr, Neffner is known to thousands o f former election officials in Ohio ov­ er a period o f years, lie has had vir­ tual control o f the election machinery, under the Secretary o f State. He is regarded an authority on election laws and rulings and should be the proper person to head the office o f Secretary o f State, experience if for nothing else. Mr. Neffner was first named to his position by Clarence J. Brown, then secretary o f state, He has served under two Democratic administrations and is as well and favorably known in that party as a worthy public official, as he is in the Republican party. It will be a campaign o f education to get^the primary voters to write in the name o f George M. Neffner. Cedarvillians will be interested in the news story that Wallace Reid, Jr., has had a place o f prominence in Cecil B, DcMUle’s “ Northwest Mount­ ed Police.” Wallace Jr. is a son of Wallace or “ Wally” , deceased, the lat­ ter being a son o f Hal Reid, noted actor, writer and producer o f the early nineties. Bertha Belle Westbrook, “ Wally’s’’ mother, died last summer, Hal Reid was a native o f Cedarville. His biggest money maker was “ The Night Before Christmas” , based on events in bis boyhood days among local characters. *The play was pre­ sented here by Hal and his wife while it was in great demand all over the country. They had but one son, “ Wal­ ly” , who had a short screen career be­ fore his death. Ohio is not the only state in the union that has six candidates for governor in a Democratic -primary, -Down in Florida there are eight run­ ning . for the nomination which is equal to an election fo r the’ success­ ful one. Each is making all kinds of promises and the fight between two or three candidates especially is hot and personal. In Georgia there are not so many candidates but the five are making ‘ things bum. Almost -every known device for attracting public attention has been put to use in each state. North Carolina has two holding most o f the attention with a third trailing. .
