A1 Smith ? is a practical politician and makes a * jgreht appeal to the jpeople, while Hoover has the support of as great a - machine, as ever functioned under the guidance of Thurlow Weed, or Martin 9 \'an Huron. " "IT*appears now as?if-; party lines will be very largely obli-~ r terated. If Al Smith is elected you e know before hand what to expect, and f Hoover is elected you- also^know r in iortMianu mat riemn ot Alabama -is in the camp. - Thia- writer holdsthaf the "Vriain issue is not liquor or . religion, but the black man. He will be the bone of contention in this country until he is accorded every civil right enjoyed by other citizens, " and "you may., lay to that." * The most pressing nced~ofyour' peo" pic rjght now is a political leader^ ship that is not for sale," a leadership j interested in you and your -welfare, , a leadership that is not out solely for the few crumbs that fall from thejpolitical taljl/?, a leadership with some 1 backbone, and the courage to lead, a leadership as wise as a serpent yet 3 new to direct the great mass of strug- . 3 glmg, unfortunate shepherdless ' A' 'mificnns of African descent.

PERIP ATETIcl i | . : MUSINGS J < * . 1 The time is approaching for the ( annual ballyhoo by Negro orators .a- ? nent the progress ?the race has made i since Emancipation. This column i would suggest to these Knights of < high sounding phrases that they give i a little more^attenion in the preparation of their ravings, to the phasps j of life in-which little, if any, pro press nas been made. If the celebration of Emancipation, should serve any purpose it ought tend to awaken the f roadmen out of ?the state of satiety _ in which so many of them have fallen, i It is an easy matter to take a few isolated instances of progress and progress, but such a course of procedure is dangerous as well as it is mis- " leading. Many' of the intelligentia and the literati among our groiip occasionally fall into that error. The white man is pleased when' lie sees that Negroes are so easilyj'satisfied, qpdjpjE .course urges thjem.on yvhen the. _ few accomplishments \they have to i their credit are paraded every January 'first. It would be woll for Emancipation day speakers to point out 'i to their auditors the need of a higher type Of education among the masses leading to the emancipation of the mind as well as of the body. It would be well to point out the need _ of economic emancipation; for most Negroes are slaves to the furniture man, the white grocery man, the automobile man, and a thousand and one other kinds of men. Economic manumission never will come untii a realization dawns upon us that'it ~ doesn't pay to spend money before it I is earned. Without economic independence it is foolish to talk about . any other kind. We like to rant about our religion bjit the Negro church < of today has very little time to devote to matters pertaining to things transcendental, because of the asinine pro- , pensity of the church's leaders to , plunge headlong into debt, which generations, who have not yet seen the light will have to struggle to liquidate. This brings about a perpetui- , ty of religious indebtedness, which, if it s not ultimately abated, will defeat the very-pUrpose~for..which rcii-_J? gious institutions were established?! the salvation of souls.
