THE LENGTHS THEY WILL GO
With County Democratic Executive Committees in Jeffer-
son, Bexar, and other counties in Texas voting to uphold the
law, even though in some cases it may not be to their liking,
the resolution passed last Saturday by the Harris County Dem-
cratic Executive Committee shows to what lengths some white
people will go to violate the law. Here is the statute (Art.
“Every political party in this State THROUGH ITS STATE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE shall have the power to prescribe
the qualifications- of its own members and shall in its own way
determine who shall be qualified to vote or otherwise partici
pate in such political party; PROVIDED THAT NO PERSON
SHALL EVER BE DENIED THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE
IN A PRIMARY IN THIS STATE BECAUSE OF FORMER
POLITICAL VIEWS OR AFFILIATIONS or because of mem-
bership or non-membership in organizations other than the
political party.” .
This is the state law and the highest courts of the state in
the famous case of Love vs. Wilcox and a long line of other
cases have held that the way a man voted in the past can
not affect his present right to vote in the statutory primary
elections in Texas. On top of these should be remembered the
Constitution and the decisions of the Supreme Court of the

INTELLIGENCE AND INTEGRITY MAKE MEN
AND RACES GREAT
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1934
WHAT WILL THE COUNTY CLERKS DO? •
What will the county clerks of Texas do when Negroes seek
absentee ballots in order that they may cast absentee votes in
the July 28th statutory Democratic primary election and in the
August 25th statutory Democratic run-off primary election?
The Harris County Clerk refused to let Negroes vote. .
They cannot say, as they have done in the past, that the
State Democratic Executive Committee has passed a resolu-
tion barring Negroes, because the state committee expressly
refused to do this.,
There are in fact only two things that county clerks can do.
One is to let Negroes vote, as they have the constitutional right
to do. The other is to deprive, on their own responsibility and
at their own peril, Negro citizens of the rights secured and pro-
tected to them under the Constitution and laws of the United
States. In the latter case county clerks will lay themselves open
to one or more of the following: .
1. A suit for damages and the costs of court against the
county clerks and their bondsmen. While the damages and costs
of courtoin any one case may not run over $100, yet when sev-
L orel thousand such suits fare pressed, or if a single suit is
brought on behalf of several thousand Negro voters,, the
amount may run up into a considerable sum. . ,
2. Prosecution for violating section 20 of the Federal
Criminal Code, which reads as follows:. .
“Whoever subjects, or causes any inhabitant of any state
to be subjected to the deprivation of any rights, privileges or
immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws
of the United States.....shall be fined not more than $1,000,
or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."
Under these circumstances county clerks will think a long
time before they will deprive Negroes of their constitutional
rights, and thus lay themselves and their bondsmen open to
heavy damage suits and criminal prosecutions. The moral is
that Negroes who plan to be out of the county on election day
will hardly have any difficulty in voting this year.
United States.• cesolu
Of course, everybody knows that the Harris County resolu-
tion is illegal and void, but it is proper to keep pointing to the
fact that there still are some people who care nothing about
the law, no matter from how high a source it emanates.
A MAJOR CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Writing in a recent issue of the White Man and the Negro
Magazine, Hon. Wm. M. McDonald sums up in a very signif-
cant sentence a major cause of the political troubles of Ne
groes of the South. He says: “Until recently, Negroes voted
with the controlling party in the Eastern, Nestern and t the
them States, but Negroes in Southern States voted against the
controlling party.” .u mind the
How true this statement is, and brings forcibly to mind to
fact that, if Negroes for a half century had made the efforts

The Text of the Lesson:
1. And Elijah, the Tishbite, who
was of the inhabitants of Gilead,
said unto Ahab, as the Lord God of
Israel liveth, before whom I stand,
there shall not be dew nor rain these
years, but according to my word.
2. And the word of the Lord came
The farce, wastefulness, and incon-
sistency of American life, in its pure
essence is revealed in the concerted
fight which has been going on in the
open for about a week by the "Legion
of Decency” which seeks to “organize
the ‘right thinking’ people into a boy-
cott against salacious shows."
This seems foolish right from the
surface. In the first place, there is no
law that compels anybody to attend
movies or shows. In fact, this country
is so very free that one can live his
whole allotted three score and ten and
never attend a show or a movie, with-
out breaking any law of any kind on
that score. If these pure minded in-
dividuals and children are apt to be
corrupted by the so-called salacious
shows, there is at hand a perfect and
sure remedy and preventative in one
—they can stay away. On the other
hand, people with pure minds are too
good to see the salacious side of life
even when it’s presented to them on
a world sized platter, served with a
free magnifying glass. As for sex, the
pious and the church in too many in-
stances have far more of it than
would be expected.
The wasteful aspect is obvious.
1 There are so many other things de-
ing together through the years can
build up the proper public sentiment
against lynching and all other forms
of murder in their particular com-
munity." .
As a second, we urge that Negroes
build up the kind of race pride that
eliminates intimate social contact
with whites. This is one case when it
pays to “avoid the appearance of
evil” even if one has to suffer a few
conscience pricks because he cou d not
perform what is assuredly a humane
act. Aside from the strenuous and
tragic acts which often follow closely
in the wake of such association, they
can only make for a loss of self re-
spect and courage in the end.

NEGRO NUMBERS’ VICTIMS
In Philadelphia there is being held a Special Numbers
Court, and scores of men and women have been sentence has
in the war on the numbers racket which this court nas
inaugurated and is prosecuting. Citing the “not at all surpris-
ing fact” that 75 per cent of the persons sentenced arethe:
groes, the Philadelphia Tribune makes this interesting state
ment: general opinion of the police is that the writers and
pick up men and women do not know whom they are working
for The truth of the numbers game is that all over the country
Negroes are its chief victims. They play the game andpoaye
more than anybody; they are less able to lose than anybody-
and they take the rap more than anybody.

the Scottsboro boys; eight Negroes
have been lynched throughout the
South since January of this year, and
- the lynchers have not only not been
- arrested, they have been hailed as
heroes; Negroes are still disfranchis-
ed in many sections of the South, and
even after the right had been admit-
ted and given by the Texas State
Democratic ' Executive Committee,
Harris County, of which the county
seat is “Heavenly Houston”—which
contended that it is the second big-
gest city in the South, voted to stop
them anyway and see what the Su-
preme Court of the United States
could do about it; thousands of Ne-
groes are still dying each year of di-
seases coused by lack of proper and
sufficient food, lack of sanitation, and
other things they would have if they
made a living wage, thereby spread-
ing contagion among many white peo-
ple who seemingly would rather die
of the diseases themselves than spend
money to make the world safe from
disease for Negroes. The proud city
of Houston, Texas, is at this very
moment staging a dogged fight, which
it has lost all the way through the
Court of Civil Appeals thus far, to
prevent Negroes from being allowed
to make the meagre living they would
get from selling fish to other Negroes,
simply because a few white fish ven-
dors think they ought to have a mo-
nopoly on fish sales.

help correct any of these ills, but it

great many other things, can do no

Y DALLAS TAKES THE LEAD
There is only one way to build an effective political organi-
zation, and that is to build it solidly on down through every
precinct or other smallest voting subdivision in the political
area which the organization essays to cover. Dallas has taken
the lead over all Texas in this particular, and it is important
that other cities and counties will follow suit, if the Negro vote
is ever to amount to anything in this state.
The first thing to be done in Dallas was to find out just how
many Qualified Negro voters there are in the county. The only
way thiscan be done is to get an official list from the county
tax collecter. This was done in Dallas. The next thing was to
select some energetic and interested man or woman in each
precinct to contact the voters in that precinct and to carry to
them the message and program of the general organisation.
When this procedure has been carried out it is then time
enough to have mass meetings and to make speeches. But mass
meetings and speeches without this kind of detailed organiza-
tion are a hopeless waste of time. On the other hand a detailed
organization of this kind can be brought aboyt only by men
and women who don’t mind doing, some hard work and making
some sacrifices for the masses of Negroes; and this is never
done by people who seek only their own selfish advantage and
to feather their own political nests. which
It is high time that the rest of Texas follows the lead which
has been so well begun in Dallas.
WILL THE CHALLENGE BE ANSWERED
As Dr. W. E. B. DuBois positively and deliberately retires
from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, never to return as one of the leading officials and mov-
ing spirits, he hurls the following serious challenge: ,
“Today this organization, which has been great and effec-
tive for nearly a quarter of a century, finds itself in a time of
crisis and change, without a program, without effective organi-
zation, without executive officers who have either the ability
or disposition to guide the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in the right direction.
While we have known for a long time that this was true in
a large measure locally, the nation has more or less assumed
that the national office still maintained and operated a con-
structive program. The question is, Will the challenge be
answered ?
INTERRACIAL PROGRESS IN TEXAS
The Dallas News and the Dallas Journal have recently
adopted the policy of capitalizing the letter “N” in the word
“Negro.” We are told that Texas College, and especially Prof.
C. Hudson Bynum of the English department of that institu-
tion was responsible for this change in the life-long attitude
of these North Texas dailies upon this matter.
While there are still many difficulties and things that are
wrong, we have here an encouraging indication of interracial
progress in Texas, which gives hope for the future and indi-
cates that there are some white people in the state with liberal
tendencies and a desire to be more just and fair.
10. So he arose and went to Zare-
phath. And when he came to the gate
of the city, behold the widow woman
was there gathering of sticks, and he
called her, and said fetch me, I pray
thee, a little in a vessel that I may
drink.
11. And as she was going to fetch
it he called to her, and said, bring me,
I pray thee, a morsel of bread in
thine hand.
12. And as she said as the Lord
liveth I have not a cake, but a hand
full of meal in a barrel, and a little
oil in a cruse, and behold I am gath-
ering two sticks that I may go in and
dress it for me and my son, that we
may eat it and die.
18. And Elijah said unto her, fear
not, go and do as thou hast said, but
make me thereof a little cake first,
and bring it unto me, and after that
make for thee and thy son.
14. For thus saith the Lord God of
Israel, the barrel of meal shall not
waste, neither shall the cruse of oil
fail, until the day that the Lord send-
eth rain upon the earth.
15. And she went down and did
according to the saying of Elijah,
and she, and he, and her house did
eat many days.
16. And the barrel of meal wasted
not, neither did the cruse of oil fail,
according to the word of the Lord
which He spake by Elijah.

DECAY-ITS CAUSE
You may wonder why the hole oc-
curs in a single place rather than
involving all the surface of the tooth.
The reason for this is quite obvious.
The weak acid must be held in con-
tact with surface of the tooth long
enough to exert an influence on the
hard lime substance of which the en-
amel is composed. You have noticed
that certain parts of a tooth are
take
much more liable to decay than oth-
ers and that some surfaces of the
tooth almost never decay. This is be-
cause some parts of the teeth are
cleaned by the friction of the tongue,
the lips, and the cheek against them,
so that acids cannot stay in contact
with these surfaces long enough to
cause decay. The surface not subject
to the self-cleansing influences are
the ones most liable to decay. The
deep grooves in the bicuspid and mo-
lar teeth and the contact points be-
tween the teeth and the narrow strip
of enamel close to the gums are not
naturally cleansed and so the lodg-
ing of particles of food in these places
is not prevented.

ON LYNCHING
The Afro-American last week of-
fers a remedy for lynching in the fol-
lowing editorial:
Editor,
The Austin Informer.
Dear Sir:
“A mob of Kirbyville, Texas, white
men and women hanged Lon Griggs,
30, last week, shot his body full of
holes, dragged it behind an auto for
several hours and then dumped it out
near a box factory at Newton.
“Griggs wasn’t among f
zens of Kirbyville or Newton. He
had been arrested on charges of va-
grancy and keeping a
house. .
“Nothing uncommon about that.
There are disorderly houses and red
light areas from Washington to Cali-
fornia.
“Grigg’s crime was not that he was
keeper of a dive or a member of the
underworld, but that he associated in
his brothel with- a white woman.
“So Texas has a lynching and our
South Carolina Senator Smiths and
our Louisiana Senator Longs declare
no Federal anti-lynching bill is neces-
sary, because states can put down
their own mobs.
“Every section of the United States
must be made safe from mob law,
or none of it is safe.
i “While every effort is being made

I wish to commend you for your
courageous fight in regard to the Ne-
gro citizens voting in the Democratic
primary of this State, as pointed out
so beautifully in your editorials in
the past few weeks. I regret very
much that some counties will contend
for the Negro being barred from cast-
ing his ballot, but I hope for benefit
of the innocent tax payer and those
who never give it a serious thought
as to the principles of politics that
our supposed to be leaders will be
honest and fair, first to himself then
to his fellowman. A democracy like an
. lindividual learns by the age-old pro-
the first citi-I cess of trial and error, the average
— , Negro citizen has discovered for him-
self that when we live by the maxim,
isorderly “every man for himself and God for
disord y us all,” it works out in every day
life, “every man for himself and no
progress for us all.” We are of a
selfish breed. The motive that domi-
nates us from the cradle to the grave
is self interest.
It is understood that all of us can’t
be leaders but we are in hopes that
our leaders, whomever they be, will
not be tempted with this motive of
greed and profit. A new motive is
beginning to be evident in the affairs
of men and so much so with our race.
It is not new in itself but it is new
in its vogue. The new motive is co-
operation instead of competition, and
service instead of selfishness. The one
way to win high regard of your fel-
low man is to benefit him. Whether
you deal with few men or with mil-
lions, the principles are the same. The
greed and profit motive must be sub-
lannineas cost sacra- ordinated before we as a race can

let the people move into cities and existence, where co-operation, service,
and law and order prevail. It is our
own fault if we continue to live in
that we
have no protection but that of our
own right arm.
“Let those who will not move arm
themselves with shot guns, machine
and brotherhood will be the slogans,
and the old competitive self-seeking,
greedy individualism will gradually
pass from the earth.
Yours truly,
J. N. Bolden.

Elijah's words to the wicked showed
that he possessed great boldness,
(first) if required boldness to say
these words to a tyrant as was Ahab;
(second) it took greater boldness to
rely on the faith he had in God and
say, “There shall be no dew nor rain

word.” In other words you are the
wicked king. I am the despised and
