" THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Every one has a feeling that as
we approach "Christmas Eve" we
should give?give to the poor and
less fortunate?to the ones i n
fairly good circumstances, to our
friends and loved ones. This we
, do annually, whether much or little.
^
There are many ways to demon!
strate the Christmas Spirit and
have people remember the fact
that the season represents the
coming into the world of the Naz
arere?Jesus' Christ?who gave
His life?a generation after Hie
birth that races might enjoy spir
itual blessings and a fuller life
after death.
We show the Christmas spirit
and-ereate-' a- fevlin^-of?gtxxl -wiU
when we purchase Christmas seals
when we contribute to the Como
munity Chest, or the Woodyard
Fund or Gondfellows Club.
We show the Christmas spirit,
' " when we are so blessed that we
as parents and guardians can fill
the stockings of the children o f
our own or under our care with
the expected gifts frS.m old Santa
Claus, who passes this /way once
yearly. You cannot find a group
among us happier than boys and
girls who will rise early Sunday
morning to take out of their stock
ings or baskets what Santa has
brought?whether they still believe
the old story or not. And
may God bless thesn little nnoc
See them running from door t.n
door, carrying the good nev/s and
glad tidings?showing what they
have.
Other happy groups among?n?
are those* who have outrun the
roving disease hounds and" still
have good health both of body and
of mind. We have so .much to be
grateful for, as we enter into this
our greatest festivity.^
And now, in all sincerity and

; We suggest that Negroes plar
for and establish some business
on Harden street. An expansior
_ in business endeavor wilt help th(
relief situation, because more en

young people. "Negroes need t<
go into business," is a recenl
statement made by Dr. E. H. M-c
Gill, President of Allpn University,
in speaking to a group o i
college students. A greater state
ment could not have been made al
this time. Negroes must learr
business by doing business. Negroes

BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Our biggest .thrills come as a
result of what we anticipate. If
the corning event is full of the
hope of happiness, every day not
only brings that event nearer, It
heightens our expectations and
happily we live the thing before'
jt arrives.
If a bride is happiest at the
time of her wedding, it must be
because all along, before the
tipje, she lived the event over antiover^
in her heart and soul.
I am convinced that We build
up our happiness as we approach some
big event. We may be very
"happy "on Christmas , day, frQt
there worn many davs prior when
we thought and planned and lived
the day over.
Thinking- of how we shall make
block of Harden street. -f.
Dr. Collins is planning to rebuild.
In his netv structure?he has
in mind erecting a eommo-dinii>.
building with offices on the
second floor and double store space
cn the ground floor.
If his plans carry, he will provide
p. place for a moving picture
business so much needed for the
recreation of Waverley people. In
the other store could be established
a shoe store with other goods
if an unperishable nature. This,
we believe, would be a good beginning,
and later other proper-]
ties may be acquired whereby the
business venture among Negroes
may find a medium for growth. It
i? possible. Business Negroes
should watch Harden street. There
is loom for splendid development
in business. Big business concerns
started from very small be'
ginnings. They grew because of
the ingenuity of the owners of
the project and close attention to
business principles whereby -marginal
profits were increased annually.
Watch Harden Street!
NEGROES IN SOUTHERN
UNIVERSITIES
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United Statesj
as it affects Negro students seeking
university degrees above thcj
-college level, presents a new as-i
nect in the solution of the nrob I
iems before the people of the
South. Southern Negroes are ask>
ing for admittance to Universities
in the South where they may study
for the degrees to be earned
above the college level.
Lloyd L. Gaines, a young colored
man of St. Louis, made application
for matriculation in the
Law School of the University of!
Missouri.. His application w a s
t turned down. He carried the case!
_ to the. Supreme Court and the
Court almost unanimously decided
the case in his favor. The opin-1
ion of the. Supreme Court was set
forth by Chief Justice Hughes
and concurred in by Justice Black,
" of Alabama. The decision in pari'
is as follows: . .... . |
"The basic consideration," said
Chief Justice Huehes in the opin-.
ion concurred in by Mr. Justice |
Black (of Alabama, and once a
member of the K.K.K.) and all
other members of the court ex I
copt Mr. .Tustce McReynolds and
Mr; Justice Butler, "is not as to
what ..sort of. opportunities other
states provide, or whether they
are as good as those in Missouri,'
but as to what opportunities Mis-|
souri useu iurnisnes to wnite(
students and denies to NCgroes
solely upon the ground of color.
The admissibility of laws separating
the races in the enjoyment of
- privilege*, afforded by the state;
- rests wholly upon the equality of j
the privileges which the laws give
to the separated groups within
the state.'.' t
"The question here,'' continued
the Chief Justice, "is nof!"o? a
duty of the state to supply legal
training, or of the quality of the
: training which it does supply, but
of ts di'iy when it supplies train1
-iinr-ln furnish it to the residents
r of the state upon the basis of an1
i equality of right. By the opera-'
I tion of the laws of Missouri a
' privilege has been created f o 1
' white law students which is de
I niod to Negroes by reason of theii
race, the white resident is afforded
legal education within the state
i the Negro "resident having the
same qualifications is refused it
. there and must go outside t h_JJ
: state to obtain if. That is a denial
' 'of the equality of legal right to
which the state has set up, and
i the provision for the payment of
J tuition fees in another atate does
! not remove the rfisrrimin'Atirvn
i Nor can we regard the fact that
there is but a limited demand in
i Missouri for the legal education
' of Negroes as excusng the discrimination
in favor of the whites
i ..."
i The decision of the Supreme
> Court in the Gaines case affects
I application of Bruce Bailey, of Co"
" lumbia, is still on the files of the
t South Carolina.
The Palmetto Leader does not
believe that Negro students seekf
ing professional training are ask
ing for admission to Unversities
t in Southern States simply to be
i in classes with white students. If
N(egro colleges in the "Deep
South" offered the same type of
k- training that is provided in white
'I colleges this particular problem
i j would not present itself.

THE SITREMK COl'RT VS.
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.:
Hy Kelly Miller
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court requires a state to
provide equal education facilities
for both races or admit Negro
students to all levels of state educational
institutions, hitherto
maintained exclusively for white '
students. It is based squarely
upon the provision of the Four- ~
teenth Amendment which forbids
a state to deny airy citizen the
equal protection of the law. ? in. _
it's wider implication, it accords
the Negro equal ffacilities in hospitals,
playgioundi, parks, and
In every type of public instituJtinns
where tlie " policy_.of _ the
state insists upon separation of
the races. This decision like o
double edged sword cuts both
ways. It upholds distinction but
not discrimination on account of
race. It violates the dictum oi
Charles Sumner that equality 01
lights cannot exist without ideiv
tity of rights. On the otherTiahef
it sustains the dictum of President
Harding, "both races should
have the same rights but they
.need not enjoy these in each
others company." The higher
ground of Sumner yields to the
lower plain of Harding. _
When the Honorable Archibald
II. Grinike and myself deqllined
the offer of Senator Joseph B
Foraker to introduce a Bill foi
separate but equal Pullman accomtnodation^
for the races, we
were actuated by principle rather than
practical fcxpuliorVy. We
declined the possible in quest of
unattainable.
It may well be that insistance
r feasible in face of the decision
of the Supreme Court and the
evident cast of public opinion.
Congressman Mitchell has declared
his intention of pushing his
ease to final ajudication of the
Supreme Cyurt. That the opinion
of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will bo overruled nortv
scents inevitable. For the judgement
of the highe?t tribunal cuts

trine of race discrimination and
its justification on account of the
expense involved.
It is particular intnerestuigf to
note that this decision was delivered
through the mouth piece
of Chief Justice Hughes and was
Alabama, and that the two diehard
Alnti New Deal Ju<?gCs McRe
nobis and Butler, contributed
the minority opinion.
By this disunion the Negro race
has won a practical the/ugh inot
idealistic victory^
The Economic
Structure of
! Negro in America
Again timp in its inexorable
flight is bringing us to the close
i of another year. "Soon another
1 chapter will have been added to
the record of ever changing world |
i affairs. As we approach the end
1 of the year's acti'vity, it gives'
j rise to reflections, appraisals and|
I retrospecton; The past is behind'
us. What the future?hrdds?trr
store for us will depend largely I
i upon our own initiative, detcrmi,
nation and effort.
I At the meetng of the National

as the League represents. During

1900 when the League was organized
by the late. Booker T. Washington,

tion set forth this pertinent
statement; "That through the pro
motion of commercial achievement,
the race could he led to a
position- of influence in American
life and thus pave the way to ecronp?nigj

The truth of this conviction is
I vindicated in the fact that today

Negroes are pngngod, a? owneraj '
in more than a hundred thousand

practically every phase of business
activity.
. The influence of the League in
the p'romotion land ;s(tebi|izatfion I
of business withiai the grorup is
beiivr felt as never before. It has
definitely set up the necessary
machinery whereby efficiency can
be developed and stimulated thru
closer cooperation. Through the
medium of local, district and nat- '
tional organizations, there has
been made possible an exchange ,
of ideas and a coordination of effort
that has brought together
and cemented individual activities
into a united whole, thereby adding
materially to the strength
and stability of existing organ-_
izations. I
From a'l indications, business
within the group has experenced
a very successful year. Fbi* thft
mosL -partr mistakes?made by
others have been used as object
lessons, teaching the neeessity-for
sound, efficient business practice.
In other words, experience has
demonstrated the necessity for
using. AbeL...regular-highways of
ethical business mefttyods tdather
than risk disappointment and fail
ure on outmoded detours that

My predction is that most race
enterprises that have weathered
ihe storms of depression, recess
ion, wars, and other chaotic upheavals,
will continue to prosper 1
Experience has taught its lesson,
and with proper intelligence,
understanding anfl unselfish cooperation,
I am confident the fu-!
ture is brighter than ever before.
As people strive to better their
condition in life, Vjuirtfin wants1
will continue to increase. Re- I
gardless of adverse -influences,
business within the group will 1
continue to grow, and the- intre- I
pith individuals who had the cour- <
age to choose a career in the i
