BY THE
WAY ...
By DORIS ARMFIELD
Washington, Oct. 16.—Except
to mention the rain we had in
Washington a couple of weeks
ago. I don’t believe I have com
mented on the change of sea
son. I am reminded of this
because ysterday, someone said
“in another three weeks we’ll
be having snow.’’ I believei
this part was just being pessi
mistic: I hardly think the snow
will come that soon, but we
are having chilly weather these
days . . . and the temperature
forecast for last night in tne
suburbs was 38 degrees. De
spite the fact that there hasn’t
been a frost in Wlashington, the
leaves are beginning to change
color and the atmosphere of
fall is in th e air. After school
one day this week, I went for
a ride out to Mount Vernon.
The Mount Vernon highway is
beautiful any time of the year,
but especially at this season,
with many different colors in
the scenery. Dogwood trees are
as much favorite in this part
of the country as they are at
home, and their deep red foli
age adds much to the autumn
al beauty of both homes and
wooded areas.
I made another sightseeing
trip last Sunday, to Anapolis,
home of the United State Na
val Academy. I don’t care for
the town of Annapolis; like the
Georgetown section of Washing
ton. and Alexandria, Annapolis
reminds me of Charleston and
any place that reminds me of
Charleston 1 don’t care for. (I
say this at the risk of being
criticised for my judgment of
the seaport city, but I lived
there for two years; long
enough to know that I don’t
like it.) The Naval Academy
however, is not only beautiful
to see but interesting to visit.
I had been there once before,
but just for a drive through the
grounds. Sunday, we went
through some of the buildings,
and on that particular day there
seemed to be an air of awe-in
spiring solemnity.? What was
boisterous laughter before one
enters the building turned to
hushed whispers; not because
there were signs demanding
quiet, but because the surround
ings seemed to warrant it. I
would suggest that anytime
you are near Annapolis, you
visit the Academy. I believe
you will find it well worth
your time.
Several years ago when I
was in Washington. I worked in
the office of Congressman White
of Idaho, who was chairman
of the committee op Coinage,
Weights and Measures, and
whose favorite subject was the
monetary system of the United
States. I recall our former
Congressman, Butler B. Hare,
telling me once about a debate
on the floor of the House, dur
ing which the gentleman from
Idaho and others were making
an attempt to explain said
monetary system. Congressman
Hare, in a speech from the floor
declared: “I believe it was Will
Rogers who said there are two
kinds of crazy people in the
world: those in the asylum
and those who think they know
all about money. .
One day this week, our teach
er at school dictated a lesson
which began: “Mr. Chairman,
I believe it was Will Rogers
who said there are two kinds
of crazy people in the world:
those in the asylum and those
who think they know all about
‘stenotypy’.” He substituted
‘stenotypy’ ” for the word money
in the speech, but otherwise it
was the same. Congressman
Hare may have expected his
speeches to be quoted in other
places, but I imagine he would
be surprised to know that his
words are furnishing dictation
practice for stenograph stu
dents. After I finished tan
scribing the speech, I sent
Judge Hare my notes, so he
could see how his speech look
ed in “stenotypy.” I’m sure he
would never recognize it!
Navy Day To Be
Observed Wednesday
C. D. Coleman, Navy Day
Chairman of Newberry an
nounces that Wednesday, Octo
ber 27th will be observed as
Navy Day in Newberry.
iMr. Coleman says this year
with ominous conditions abroad
and numerous subversive ele
ments in our midst. Navy Day
is especially significant. The
strength, the maintenance and
the continued growth of our
Navy is the concern of every
patriotic citizen. He said “In
showing our appreciation of our
valiant Navy let us also get a
clear understanding of it. It
is not merely composed of sur
face ships—great though they
may be—‘but it is also powerful
in the air with naval planes,
and invincible underwater with
its great fleet of submarines.
“Navy Day will be as signi
ficant as the American people
make it.” stated Mr. Coleman.
“When is the only time a
woman is justified in spitting
in a man’s face?”
“When his moustache is on
fire.”
The three ages of maiv are:
school tablet, aspirin tablet &
stone tablet.

Negroes Rob &
Exploit Worse
Than Whites.
By David Lee, Negro Editor
The majority of the Negroes
of this. 'nation are victilms of
poverty, poor housing, . inade
quate hospitalization and recre
ation because of the greed and
dishonesty of the more fortu
nate members of the race.
No race or nationality in this
nation' is actually robbed and
exploited by its own members
like the. Negro race. The more
fortunate members of the group
has turned the ignorance and
poverty of the masses into a
profit making racket.
Can you blame these crooked
exploiters for their criticism
of my editorials. I have never
claimed to be a leader of my
people. In fact, I have no lead
ership aspirations. I have mere
ly exercised my Constitutional
right to express my opinion" as
I see it.
Some of the Negroes who are
advocating civil rights legisla
tion to force others to accept
them as an equal by law, have
tried to discredit my assertions
by referring to th e Telegram
as a scandal sheet. Why, of
course it’s a scandal sheet—
it’s a mirror in which the Ne
gro can see hrmself as others
see him.
The Telegram as opposed to
filth, immorality and wrong.
It seAs to raise th e moral stan
dards of our people. The Tele
gram seeks to build good will
between the two races. Cer
tainly this type of paper has
as much right to exist as the
Daily Worker, which is oppos
ed to our way of life; as the
other Negro papers that ad
vocate the scrapping of al
forms of race distinction and
the complete amalgamation of
the races.
The Telegram is opposed to
any kind of program of force
as a solution to the American
race problem. But I am not
narrow enough to resort to vili
fication just because th e other
fellow disagrees with my views.
Instead of attempting to dis
credit me. which is not pos
sible. the would be leaders and
advocaters of civil rights legis
lation should stop robbing the
masses and clean up the filth,
exploitation ' and immorality
within the race.
The housing racket stinks to
high heaven. Here in Newark
a Negro will rent three or four
houses at $40 a month each. If
the houses have 8 rooms each,
he will turn all rooms into
sleeping quarters, and charge
hard working members of his
own race $10 a week per room.
Thus each house which he rents
for $40 a month brings, him
$320 a month.
If the 8-room house has
large rooms, in many instances,
nartitions are built and then
the 8 rooms become 16 rooms.
This is not only true in New
ark; this situation exists
throughout the United States.
These exploiters are heralded
and regarded as real estate
brokers by the advocates of
civil rights legislation.
I have investigated on° sit
uation here' in New Jersev
where the landlord had 14
families living in a 12 room
house. I reported it to the
New Jersey State Board of
Health.
Last winter over 200 Negro
families were made homeless
hv fires in our citv. and over
20 Neeroes were trapped and
