Saturday, November 2G, 1932 in ? --.BiVr: 2s IT SURE DID -HAPPEN jpJ }" ' ?Hly r, This fine old country of ours after ni climbing to heights unreached by any cr other -in the world?after showing, in "" such splendid political sense since to 1776-?up and made a head forem&t dive and landed almost wholy into. P1 the Democratic Fold, never in "the~His-7^ tory of this or any other Republic t? have so many states^and people of th .. $h,ose states lost control 1 of their good m (?ommqn reason and threw a fit that to caused such a sweeping "change of 'a Goyernment. And after the bucket ca Has been kicked completely over and 01 almost every .drop of that good old vc rich Republican milk which has to its ^ ^-credit the healthiest and most pro- 'n gressive sets of kids?"on earth?been spilled. * - ' ? * )h^ " " The old cow is looking with a flown. _v,_ cast eye upon the millions of ungrate . tful milkers for say what you may the years, from 1860 down to tpday ? ii\ which'the Republicans haTTcoritrol ln make up the brightest and best years in the hstory of this country. But ^ human nature is strance and it dons ' not change education or nothing else can. change it.?It seems to be tunTof t a nations as .welLas-of individuals. They ..soon forget,^specially the ^>od. Take !' the past 50 years view them with an "! unbiased "mimj. Take thfi l^roiflrt of ^ the two parties, spra'ad them side- by side upon the table, weigh" carefully the good and. bad in each check the ^ thingfs that stand out prominently in (j. the, making^ of this country what it is, credit each with its just share and thep scratch your head and- see if you can .figure any sane reason'why ? they Country should turn against its ^ , old true and tired friend. To "one fhat has done so very little for it. It is true the Countryjs in aJHell of a . fix right now. "No work much a t home.,. Most of the large industries'? lare idle and t0 add pain to misery, ^ , the billions owed by our friends over sea to our Country are not being payed?not even the interest. If our country could collect just the inter. ' est due, that item alone would^go a long Wfl l S LllH ailK hsillmw>?(nrr budget: But wait a bit, under, vvhosu ^ administration' was those billions loaned? Who drew [up the terms W by which they must be paid back? And its going to take a long, long ' time, if that money is not paid back, for this dear old Country of ours is . to stand steady?and -step?furward. ~ 'Billions can't be replaced at will. The ^ folk seem to forget the crowd that g loaned it and jumped on the crowd that was not able to collect it. So it is, but let us pass that part'of the picture up. We note that the N. A. C. P. is delighted that, as it claims, the colored voters of- t/hjs country helped in no uncertain*!way in .oui throwing1 the Republicans. God "for- p bid that their way of seeing it he true., If the colored voters were bribed and , brought to the .extent that a majority " orf*tft\erni turned against the Party that has done all that has been done in a National way, for them, for the Party that has fought every bill and . move presented in any Congress since 1777 that had for its aim tfhe rights I " of citizenship. 1 beg the- N. A. A. 0| ? ' C. Pf tp cite me to ofie single vote , taken in Congress up to the adjourn- ,j ment of the last session, 1932.. Where .] the majority of the Democrats in both r hpuses failed to vote against it. When that bill" had in it a little something | that was in favor of the colored man of America from the appropriation to Howard University up or down' 0 any way they go looking for H. I e ask them to cite me just one instance n where a colored person got an ap- ? pointfnent of - sufficient, importance n that fye or she Vted to be confirmed by the Senate and the majority of v . that body were Democrats. But what ]( the appointment was kicked into the q trash hlasket by their votes. The N. j ?*! , A. A. C. P. says if is going to iyatdft c and see how this in coming Democra tie Administration is going to treat c the--'colored man. I see no need of ^ it, wasting good time in watching for s, .tWat during the four years it may be on the throne. Any fool can sifcut 1< his eyes and stop dys ears and know ^ v/hat the colored brother twill get $ from Washington after iMareh 4ih, ? 1932, till March 4th, 1936. , y Wo can't believe tHat t#ip head of S( the N. A. A. C. P. is such a "Dummy" y that he dotrs*rtot understand that the y ever-abiding Demtoo ratio?Party.?Tho sure enough and certain element of n tHat Party is composed of *>ur Dear y Old Dixie. Now tiho N. A. A. C. P. p may -be able to stick its fingers in y the eyes of some of the colored voters w and lead them blind folded into the t, Northern of Western wing of the Do- jy ?' mdcratic Party under the pretense p there is a difference. But there I p .. is-not. fhe East and West will a 1 m I i .1 e politically but they have absolutenothing to do with the manageent of their own Party. The Demoatic Party ia in dhe hands of those the South that refuse absolutely con?<Ted that any colored in-a n ould even vote. This is clearly oven, by the rules they adopt i 11 ehr Primaries and tare ready even the extent of fighting it out in all e Courts. The attitude and detorination of the Southern Democrat is day what it was four years ago, st June. When they built 'a wire ge to shut off thq few alleinate coled delegates that attended the condition down at Houston^ Texas and the last National Convention hftld June 1932 hiad been held below the ason and Dixon Line just any place low it, the samp wire cage idea auld have been put into effort and e dear friendly white delegates 0111 up East and out West .would ive attuned ami not mutered*a word "protest. Not" even'* Mr. AID Smith Mr. Roosevelt who were'the eonol.ers of that time, said one work tovrd telling the Great and Grand ilored Democratic brother out of the ge, yet the N. A. A. C. P. has tfn< ^Den,-audasity?to state that at-the st election the Negro exercised his ght as a citfzen to vote for those Iio promised to safe-guard his right id that UiM UHHOl'tailOH did fldVl&t em how to vote. Well under pre: nt conditions, which the large part the race must live and those contions growing worse politically. If the N, A. A. C. P. advised any oup of colored people to vote^againthe Old Party , and t'h^it group inuence by said advice did |o vote, hen all we can say is, that political oney moves in a mistonous way s' wonders to perform. v ?CAP JIM.

The PalmeUo conference of the A. M. E. ! Zion Church presided over by the Honorable Bishop E. W. D. Jo neb and the Columbia conference presided, over by the Honorable Bishop N*. W. Williams. The entertaining churches were Clinton A-M.E.Z. whose pUstor is the erudite Rev. L>. E.^Thompson and.. Bethel A. M. E. church' whose I pastor is the indefatigable- Rev. L. I G. Bowman. The writer of these notes is a member' of neither one of , the above mentioned churches. Howeve fwetook^advantage^j)f_thc_JijglE privilege of attending several sessions of each both day and night.

We were not interested particularly in those detail matter that * have meaning primarily for those identified with the denominations. We looked and listened for those things"' that were, consequential irrespective off denominational affiliations. In " tlllj? Unpt1 UFN! (LVlltit'taiion we were not entirely disappointed. On the first night of the Palmetto Conference (night of elections.) Pishop Jones took occasion to remind all present that the Negro must not? attempt to divorce his religion and politics, lie repeatedly emphasized . the necessity of the Negro becdhftng I increasingly politically-min led in a country ruled by politics. He ^nust f el concerned about who is 'selected all through tHe conference at the Opportune time .similar notes of religious practicality wqre sounded by . the bishop.

The success of the rural t^e rehabilitation of rural life. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that we* cannot JLIVE ON EARTH AND BOARD IN HEAVEN. Chris':" j_ lian ideals cannot be realized in a : world where economic idyals subversive to those ideals continue to exist. , We are thankful to the Palmetto . conference and to Bishop Jones, for sounding this not of practicality in : the SOCIAL GOSPEL FOR A NEW AGE; One'of the "most encouraging : scenes of the Columbia conference was the number of apparently young ministers in?attendanne'e. This fact ^ did not nass without favorable- Vom, uent by presiding Bishop Williams. Whether the ciders like it or not the i church of tomorrow will be t h. c church in which the young will occupy prominent places in both pew and pulpit. The high note that seemed , to have been sounded, by Bishop Wil liams?was trained?leadership.?Thin deduction is reachtid'hot only because of what was said but also because of i the preference he gave ministerial students attending Allen University. Several times (luring the conference" ) nis suggestions and appointments were prefaced by the question, "Are you a student?" In ease of an af) firmative answer the favorable ap. ^ointment was made with an en. ;-ourageing warmth of .expression r which seemingly grow out of a deep > and abiding longing to help. Another . /refreshing incident which perhaps escaped general notice occured dur.t ing the reports of the several pasr tors. One "gentleman of_the cloth" ) failed to rep'ort funds collected. A . certain presiding elder in attempting to explain this default ot the brother . said, "Well Bishop that's one. who > canie to us from another denomina* ; tion." The bishop stoutly and preemptorily resented this uncomplimentary aljiision by saying, "We have some BORN in our denomina-. [ tion who do worse than that." Aniens ^followed this statement. \Ve thank the bishop fgr this'high ground. He - seems to tower above the quagmire of denominational narrowness . and ereedal bigotry. Dereloction of duty is not chargeable to denominational - affiliation.?ALL?GOOD PEOPLE ARE IN NO ONE DENOMINAPLE ARE IN NO DENOMINATION. Many are too nig to oe tienommationalized.
