j Friendships, Favoritism, Failure
J Dr. Algernon B. Jackson
t I know a small man who has built a small kingdom on
that brand of friendship which breeds favoritism, which
Is doomed t tumble some day like a house of cards. Real,
true, genuine friendship is the grandest thing in life and the
frarest. However the world is full of a lot of so-called friend-
hip thoroughly counterfeit and bogus, living on sham and
smirk and seasoned with opportunism. Favoritism springs
from the loins of this courtesan, the unbidden product of an
bnholy alliance which eventually finds its place in the gutter
•f failure. When this happens as it is always bound to do,
lite spineless misguided travesty on friendship vanishes into
thin air because there are no more favors to be passed around.
a a a •
A person of real upstanding qualities does not want
favoritism to be the force which fixes his place in life so
much as fitness to obtain and hold that place. No real
red-blooded person expects a friend to reduce friendship
to such low terms, nor does he respect him in the end
when the failure comes.
0 a a a
t In these days of stress and strain friendships old and new
find themselves being tested by every sort of ordeal, but those
y^hich are worth while and founded upon unselfishness will
fendure the storm. Never before in my life have I so thor-
oughly felt the need of friendships as I do today, but those
yhich I know to be genuine shall never be sinned against by
fcurting favoritism even in the direct need.
a a a a
We need more real friendship within the Negro race
and not the pseudo variety which lives on trades, deals
and favoritism, for such is the parent of failure. "A
friend in need is a friend indeed" is an old saying and a
true one. This is an age when friendship is being put
lo the acid test, for most of us are in need of it. Some-
how I like to think of my friends as those who can look
beyond the shabby, rickety fence of my garden and see
only the roses there and will want to help me keep them
growing.
!v
Our Y. W. C. A.
f In a very few days this community will be called upon
to contribute to the fund for the Young Women's Chris-
tian Association—a laudable thing, and a fine institution.
Passing over the work done by the opposite group for
ITS women, Register feels that the attention of its readers
•hould be brought to some of the splendid accomplishments
tf the local "Y" under the direction of Miss E. K. Fairchild,
find the excellent corps of volunteer women who assist her.
* • • •
I People of this community should know that more
than 6,000 Negro women and girls have received succor
—food, clothing, beds, clinical attention, et cetera—
from the Pine Street branch of the Y. W. C. A. during
the past year, and that 300 Negro babies have been ad-
ministered to in the free baby clinic, and that even in
these days of much unemployment, of 864 women who
have registered for work 493 have received work through
the good offices of the association.
Their Girl Reserve department has done splendid
work among the young Misses of teen age of our group.
Clubs and organizations of various sorts have made use
of their fine parlors for meetings and social gatherings.
• * • •
In fact the Pine Street branch of the "Y" has filled a
lefinite, constructive niche in San Antonio's life and deserves
the unstinted financial and moral support of all the people.
Register commends the work of the "Y"—Miss Fairchild,
and all of the good committeewomen who so unselfishly assist
In this work.
Langston Hughes' "Goodbye Christ"
When Langston Hughes, young Negro world traveler
and poet announced to the world that he had turned com-
munist, there was no commotion and the world at large heed-
ed it "as the sea's self heeds a pebble cast," for it was only na-
tural for the young bard to turn almost any way he chose
politically and economically. His writing hitherto had been
of the sort that sang of the trials and tribulations of an op-
pressed people whose vision was fixed upon higher ground
and whose wailings were soul-wailings that evoked the love-
liest of sentiment and were of the type that call for progress
and fineness.
• • • e
In fact, Langston Hughes had just about merited the
term "American Negro poet laureate" when along he
comes publishing one of the most sacreligious works
ever presented to mankind—"Goodbye Christ." It is
the most wretched, diabolical presentatin yet to come
from the pen of any Negro man. And if Mr. Hughes
thinks that he gains favor with his own people by such
practices, he fails mijerably.
Regardless of how he feels, or what the conditions
are, Register believes that the Negro should be the last
to turn his back on God—and the Christian Negroes of
America, whose forebears for hundreds of years lived,
labored, and had their beinjf in the realm of that God to
whom they prayed for deliverance and through whom
they were set free, of all people, should not so far lose
themselves as to renounce the Deity that has "seen them
through."
• e * •
"A little learning is a dangerous thing," and we believe
this is Hughes' plight, and his desire for prominence or
world fame must account for this sudden outbreak.
Be no fool! Don't be swayed or influenced by any such
damfoolery as this young foolsprout is singing when he
writes:
"Goodbye,
Christ Jesus Lord God Jehova,
Beat it on away from here now.
Make way for a new guy
With no religion at all—
A real guy named
Marx Communist Lenin Peasant
Stalin
Worker ME—
I said ME!
Think of that coming from the pen of a Negro man
whose great-grandparents, or maybe grandparents were
chattel slaves whose ONLY knowledge was of and came
from God? Hughes has made himself despicable to a
people who idolized him and his works!
This paper has always been anti-communistic, and
if Hughes' latest outburst is a sample of what commu-
nism stands for or does for a man, we are doubly sure
of our position that it can do the race little or no good.
WE HAVE FAR TOO MANY UNDEREDUCATED
AND UNDERTAUGHT NEGROES, TO BE FOLLOW-
ERS OF A DOCTRINE OR DOGMA THAT SPEAKS
AS HUGHES SPEAKS.
Tid Bits From Week's News
Well, air, the New Year came
and with it cacme hope and inspira
tion. The nation's press is filled
with news of what we may expect
during the next twelve Inonthi.
Somehow the birth of a new year
seems to lighten the hearts of the
people and everybody I* happy.
When the clock slowly moves to
midnight on the last day of the
old year there is much shouting
and joy, much of it inspired by
man-made concoctions and acceler
ated horns, bells and whistles in-
terspersed with wild shouting and
■hooting of fire-works and fire-
arms. Such has been the habit of
America for many years and 'twas
so lsit Saturday night.
While many sent up shouts of
joy over the passing of the old
year there were those who humbly
bowed on bended knee and sent up
a prsyer to the great Jehovah.
They prayed for the prosperity that
we are told will come with the new
year; they thanked their God for
having brought them safely thru
the old year with all Its attendant
hardships.
And to it is. We face a new
year with hope and insplrstion;
with coursge inspired by faith and
determination, and with a firm con-
viction that the all-powerful Uni-
versal Mind will guide our destinies
safsly through the chaos, in spite
of the blunders of our statesmen
snd economists.
as good as any other; then why not
buy American made goods and keep
ourselves at work.
When tha colored merchant
opines that h« docs not get the sup-
port of his own people, we can aee
the reason why. Colored Americans
are just like all other Americans—
they'd rather buy foreign. Yesslr,
we are all Americans.
President Hoover is back In
Washington after spending the
holidays in trying to catch some
big fish. There will be plenty of
fish, little and big, waiting for him
at the White House. Trying to
catch the big French debt fish will
be a mighty tough task and if the
President is able to land this one
he will have done a fine job.
As we leave the old year we are
wondering whatever happened to
Pete McKenxie . . . the fight to
reduce the local telephone rates
rates ... the promised removal of
railroad crossing on busy Ssn An-
tonio streets ... the new post of-
fice snd federal building . . . the
reduced tax burden ... the Fed-
eral Home Loan Banks ... the park
around the Alamo . . . and the
'Personally I Think' column that
used to appear in this paper.
Maybe they all died with the old
year or msybe they yet live snd
will come up again during 1933.
We'll just wait and see.
Ths beginning of the week wit-
nessed the burning of millions of
cedar and fir trees that had been
used by American families in the
celebration of Christmas. The
many young and beautiful trees
that are cut down aach year from
our forests to be set up in front
rooms and adorned with 'made in
Germany' trinkleta goea a long way
in depleting our aource of lumber
and gives our President-elect a
good argument for his employment
plan in tha reforestation of our
Nation.
Why not have each family plant
a portable Christmas tree in a
box or tub; this would'save our
forests and alao afford a means of
yard decoration the rest of the
year, after the annual visit of
Santa Claur.
A scout Is a Send to all aod a
bntlier to every other scout
BONERS are actual humorous
tidbits found In examination pa-
pers, essays, etc- by teachers.
History tella us that Napoleon
irte, the little 'Corsican cor-
died from cancer. But a
scientist of Rome, Italy,
tells us this week thst the great
warrior died from a liver com-
plaint that should be cured now in
16 days.
Whatever the causa of Napo-
leon's death we are certain that he
caused Europe plenty of worry
while he lived.
If the French General died from
such a mino illness as we are now
told, Mussolini should engsge the
services of this noted medical scien-
tist, Count Felice Pullo, to look
after his physical needs. Italy can
not afford to lose the 'Duce' at this
time.
Will You Vote for the Next Mayor?
When you wait until the last day to pay your poll tax,
you run the risk of being left out You are playing a los-
ing game when you wait for the RUSH, and you'll wish
for your receipt next May. Do not play with time. It's much
better to do it now. And don't forget that there are hun-
dreds of thusands of our people in various parts of the
Southland, who wish they had the opportunity that will be
yours in May, to vote for a mayor and commissioners.
If you don't pay your poll tax you'll have no say as to who
SHALL or SHALL NOT govern you for the next two years.
More International Psychology
Disarmament... League of Nations . . . and things like
that are still in the limelight and under discussion and debate,
while we read of 500 Chinese slaughtered ... 19 Japanese
killed and so on. WAR!!
All of which leads us to know that the old "mother wit"
expression is as good internationally as it is by the humblest
fireside, to wit: "Talk is cheap, but it takes money to buy
land"!
Think it «v«r, Uncle Sam's folks 1
All the folks who have been sick
for the past 16 yeara in the little
town of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, and
who have been attended by Dr.
Alexander Barclay, had reason to
be happy with the beginning of the
New Year. The kindhearted medic
announced to the many patients
who owe him and have been owing
him for the past 16 years, that they
could call their bills square.
The doctor perhaps wants to turn
over a clean sheet and not have to
transfer the accounts, amounting to
more than *100,000, to his new
ledger.
Just suppose all the folks we owe
would do that. That would really
be good news for most of us.
Forty three State legislatures
went into their usual huddle with
the beginning of the new year.
Many of them have almost entirely
new personnels from Governor
down.
The citisenry of thesa 43 states
hope for LESS wrangling and the
passage of a FEW constructive
measures which will aid in the
economic administration of State
affairs.

Our own Senator Sheppard, co-
author of the 18th amendment, for-
caat an early Senate action on the
beer bill. Although prompt action
on the bill is assured, the outcome
is not so certain. The Texas sen-
ator declared he would vote against
the bill and we have reason to be-
lieve that there are a whole lot of
senators with the same intentions.
3.2 per cent beer is having a high
per cent of difficulty in getting
through the Congress. By the
time it gets out, if it ever does, it
will then have the old veto to es-
cape.
Do you suppose that is why the
schemers are holding ita passage
up? Could it be that more confi-
dence is had in Roosevslt than in
Hoover? You know Hoover still
has the powsr of veto and will have
this power until March 4.

why dump it on somebody else?
Seems funny that there should be
a campaign to induce folks to use
their own products rather than
those of another country. America

THAT Is the advice which Jane
Addams gave the Alliance of
Business and Professional Women
of Chicago at their meeting the
other day.
Herself one of America's great-
est women, Mlaa Addams Is a shin-
ing example of ths belghta ol
achievement to which a woman can
rtae by applying herself to wbat
•he can do best, rather than by
seeking aucceaa In the paths that
men havs biased. It wa> out of
ber modest efforts to meet the need
for social service where she saw
It that there evolved the great Insti-
tution of Hull House, her social
service center In Chicago, which Is
looked upon aa an example by hu-
manltarlana in all the enlightened
countries of the world.
Of course, every women's In-
stincts and abilities do not run
slong the same lines. But the
point that Is valuable for us In
UIss Addams' advice to stop Imi-
tating men Is the fsct thst we csn
realise our greatest possibilities by
being ourselves In our approach to
whst we have to do rather than by
attempting to ahape ourselves Into
a masculine mold.
Women have aomethlng that Is
unique and different from what men
have to give. It Is not necessarily
better or worse, It is oura, and It
should not be crushed or dis-
paraged. For we shsll do better Snd
with more originality if we do with
a spirit thst Is our own.
