MEASURES NOT MEN
'Success of a permanent naturi
comes to groups, races and institutiona
who fight for measures
instead of fighting men. In mosl
instances, internal strife is caus
ed by the glory men get out 61
fighting men. We fight for office
rather than for measures?thos<
measures that will bring growtl
to our institutions and provid<
employment for our young peoph
because of the growth and expansion
of well managed institutions
An Instance before us is tht
National Benefit association
Twenty years ago this 'companj
was rated among the biggest anc
best in the country, and employee
high powered salesmen who were
able to sell its business to insurance
buyers _ everywhere, and thej
did. As usual, it was overated
over-expanded and top-heavy with
expensive bureaus and "presidential"
salaries. The result: Th<
fight started, values decreased and
in came the receivers and he is
still receiving. The saddest pari
about it is that some of the officials
are still fighting in Washington
over the dead carcas oi
this once famous institution?And
that's one of the sad stories in
th? history of Negro groups. We
destroy our institutions fighting
men instead of fighting for measures
that will rehabilitate them.
In our own state Negro institutions
have suffered decay, setback
and low rating because, on
the one hand we fought each other
revengefully a p d accomplished
: ii *? ?-* ?
i?ukriiii|? inereoy?ana again we
spent our energy fighting men instead
at fighting for those measures
that*would insure prosperity
to our institutions and add to the
legacies inherited from our fathers.
Just how long this sort of
thing will last is for a prophet to
s?y If the young Negroes now in
school will salvage the situation
when they take hold of the leadership
of the race then we are hope
ful and may expect an important
change in our social and economic
conditions. y
The fall of the Negr<y Knights
of Pythias in South Carolina furnishes
additional foo for thought.
_ . For a quarter of a century the
X. of P. lodges multiplied and its
membership numbered around 30,000.
Men of all ranks were members,
attended the grand corwenticmg
and took active part in their
deliberations. At one time these
secret order people had a surplus
<* $96,000 in addition to their
grand lodge funds derived from
per capita tax. Read their records.
Grant that the K. of P. Grand
Lodge carried a heavy over-head
that was taken care of by the
per_ capita. iax absolutely.
The undermining factor In the
Pythian institution waa?the pay
ment of $300 insurance policies
to its members for an annual
premium of $4.00. Many leaders
^led to remedy this but it was
never done. The leaders created
internal fights. They fought
man instead of fighting for those
measures that would have saved
the order from the rocks. The result:
The K. of P. institution went
into the hands of a receiver. The
institution suffered and died. We
have recited onfy a few cases.

ITS THE TRUTH
"Dr Glenn Frank, head of the
Republican - program committee,
and supposed to be the thinker upper
of good Republican ideas, has
( hired a Howard University profes
sor to study Negro politics and
learn why the Negroes have flocked
from the Republican to the Democratic
party. The hiring of the
Howard professor, Dr. Ralph
, Bunch, may lend some kind of
impressiveness to the findings sub.
sequently to be announced or secretly
pondered, but that's about
9 all it can do.
I "There is no deep, secret reaI
son why the Negroes have turned
\ to the Demoncratic party. No pro
longed or national study is needed
to lllUhinriate the dfffUof tidal
wave. The New Deal, which has
a been and still is the national De
mocratic party, has done more for
t Negroes directly and indirectly
I than the Republican party has
done in the past thirty or forty
years. That's why they turned
from the party .of Abraham Lin1
coin. The New Deal gave them
f "money, jobs and political recog
_nilion?Arub^that,?Doctor?Frank,
1 is the answer you are seeking."

It's remarkable hcrw customs

be true in a strictly legal sense as

The continual saving of a thing
