There are people in the world who are never thought) of in ail , way.. i.l nor tli:in .hp )frit pintnrp.i thejn as. belonging, to the world. It would seem an affront to Deity itself for any country, hemisphere, or institution to claim -such; persons as their own, or"to attempt to label them with any badge, not worn by any of the rest of the human family. Many?not a superabundance, of course?of such spirits vet exist in the flesh, but one was recently ; wafted away to? Afire r e, no one knows! That one was 1 humus Alva Edison. There are many lessons for Colored boys and White boys, Colored girls- and White girls to glean from 'making a study of Thomas Edison's life. It appears from a. statement made-about his phiiosonhu nf lif?. thnt hie im-vis'.l animate- and inunimate objects cnns:t'rl him to see all the more clearly the futility of race-and national hatreds and animosities. Given the power to see - - first causes,, his- w as-a nature that believed that every creature had it> capacity for development in a great cosmic plan, lie tried to develop to the extent of his capacity thus showing that nnly_may the Supreme Intelligence'Iie fully revealed when those that have been endowed strive toward capacity development. * . Examine the list of Edfson inventions and improvements on other inventions and deny if you can that his works-have come npnrr-v than those ?4 ~~ any other individual in'proving beyond question the existence of a directing Intelligence in our .Universe!';. .' , Regardless of their faith or lack of faith in the accepted manner in'which faith is considered, men " like Edison, ItiffbAhfr, MfTf iMv^Tu'tYi'rven*and sonic " others are d. imr. and have-dune more, toward the establishment of -la-ting religious values, thao nil the hair splitting: and quibbling among "the duetovs ' of religion" that has taken place throughout the centuries.

A meeting was held in -Pittsburgh last Sunday thaj^uTlikely to prove very far-reaching in its conggqtien^es. At the can'of the. National firgnni^r the Young Negroes Cooperative League moved on the Smoky City for a one day confererce. The prospectus containing the ptosis and program for that conference shows that there was no intention : in) the part. nf thn*p rp^pnnsihle fnr .It. to engage i| j ti wind-jainbing contest, or of letting off hot shot: of volatile oratory over a period of days. We art -"P+eirsetl to say" that the VouniJ'XsegroeS CJdOTpS?S _ tive lA'ague Council of Columbia was represents on the National program. Mr. James Rosemond local organizer was a participant on the program having presided at one of the discussions. . He wa: accompanied to Pittsburgh by two other member of the-lccaj council. : | For quite some months now news has been ap ' pearing generally concerning the meetings of thi ~ ^organization every Wednesday evening at th Salters Memorial Center. They have held one publb program, wnen tne principles ana laeais ox tn< League were explained. We congratulate thes< young Columbians for their vision, and hope thai they are endowed with sufficient tenacity to carrj ^ on in spie of rebuff's and discouragements that art hound to come in the prosecution of any; constructive program. We trust that their- forces may be reruited with many more young Negroes anxious about the economic secuity of the struggling masses 11.any of whom are starving in a land where th< barns are tilled to the bursting point. Youth mus : how the way. The Young Negroes Cooperative League offers t definite plan to cover a period of five years. T< quote from an outline 01 the plan."l. The organiza tiun of 5,000 members and the training of thest members in the history, principles and practices oJ Consumers' Cooperation to the- end that they maj teN qualified to lent] those who will later come intc lhp various councils.

Fair promises to day may mean fulfilled promises tomorrow. Negroes who have misunderstood Hooker T. Wash> inc.ton thought thai his philosophy precluded tlu ballot; as a matter of fact it did not. Washingtor thought that an economic security must; form th< Niccsjliy background for political, power.'' Ir many ways Washington was right. It is true thai the impecunious white mairwhad political privileges and exercised thesrii; hut Negroes could never hop< to have the.same political success. It is true thai neither the Republicans nor the Democrats art ' making any feverish bid for the Negro vote ye ( the Negroes may cast their vote unhidden. Ir due time the easting of an fhtelhgent vote means i recognition for lack of which" tho Negro is a chronit 'sufferer.. More and more the Negro-will be eaMo< upon to paddle his own canoe.
