PRACTICE YOl'R-PREACHINC
Negro shop keepers and groc
ers rn Columbia complain thai
they get little, if any suppor*
from preachers, doctors and teacl
ers in their concerns. That th<
bulk of the trade which keep, these
places going comes from labor,
ers and the so-called "conrrnor
people1'. -
Columbia Negro merchants d(
? - not?now- have?dry -good ~stOTes
where colored people may buy
but they do have a number of gro<
eery stores, filling stations ant
dry cleaning establishments, ant
many of these stores carry ex
ies.
It is imperative that Negroes
patronize each other?and most
especially at places-that compett
with market prices.
We should a t least practice
what we preach.
"A TRIBUTE TO JOE LOUIS'
No Negro in this country ha<
received more acclaim than Joi
? .Louis, world's heavyweight cham
pion, and no boxer has had great
pr TPfinOMt tViaj maeoao tUnv
has Louis. Damon Runyon, t
ftfrmer sports writer but now j
columnist and short story write:
for the Hearst publications, pah
as fine tribute to Louis as a box.
er and man at n-n hnuo wen?Hh
trihute in part -reado-as?follows
"The young men of today whi
view Louis rather casually will bi
telling their grandchildren tha
he was the greatest heavyweigh
that ever lived. His prowess tha
they now take for granted wil
expand in perspective, as is al
ways the case. We do not hav
to wait to address posterity o :
this point. We Chink right no\
that Louis is the greatest heavy
weight we ever saw, and a mos
remarkable individual generally.
"fff, o Q y., n ..p n..l fill *<11
bama fields none too well educat
ed, but with a natural dignit
that he has never lost. He ha
defended his title oftener tha
any other heavyweight champio
that ever lived. He has fough
,clever men, fast men, slow mer
clowns, cuties and sluggers, a
types, and whipped them all. H
has fought Wack men and whit
men.
"He has never dodged meetin
any~ opponent offered htm; ha
rought on a score of different bf
tlegrounds, and never belittle
any man. He has always admil
ted his own weaknesses and t
has ever recognized the immut<
hie law we have mentioned.
""I ain't as good ?s I used to 1
Louis said not long ago. 'I'm slo
ing up'.
"Many champions in oth<
fields often realize the same thin
but rarely does one have t>
courage to admit it to himse
much less to the public. Lou
I spoke without regret. He is a ^
wise man though he may lack the I
educated processes of thought
that makes may wise. He is a
Credit to his race and up to date
he has set a high mark of sport;
manship for men of all races.
"Whether we like professional

that the Negro race is fortunate
to have a man of the calibhe of

i AN APPRECIATION OF
t PATROITISM
t
- ? Hy Ruth Taylor?
?
It is interesting, and rather
amusing, to watch the number of
1 groups which have just discovered
' the Negro. It is like a close tlec,
and many promises made, to be
tion. when extra #;tes i>re sought
quickly forgotten once the elecl'
tion is over and the ballots counted.
Fortunately
for the good of the
country, the Negro iu ithoroughly
cgnizant of the attempt being
mi.)., tn influence him jind t?i CO
mlinate his race to act as a brake
a upon national policies and pro
grams. It has been an inspiration
y to me to watch how the Negro
? Pres.. has spurned the propaganda
that sought to stir up race con'
sciousr.ess and resentment; how
? it has again and again played
, iown stories circulated to open
>ld wounds and arouse fresh ha'
tred; how consistently it has set a
^ hiL"h ideal of citiyi-rodiip .in.l p.?r
, tonal patriotism before its readi
. *,s- The
task before the editors of
the Negro Pres^ has been a dif~
ficult and important one?butthey
have fulfilled it with the highest
measure of success. They have not
waverd in their loyalty to the high
' principles which make the
. United States.
= -?Freedom and democracy are not
" just words to the Negro. The climb
toward these high goals hac been
ocky and difficult. He will 'hut
tlirn aside for will-o'-the_wisps of
; false promises. He has suffered
: too much to be misled now. He
know the nro-Hitlerites and their
ippeasement allies are not true
friends. There i?, no room ift the
, totalitarian racial superiority set>
jp for the Negro except as a beari
er of burdens, and in ihe first
flush of their stab-in-the back
successes, the dictators spoke fr.e
ly of the eternal servitude to which
they would condenv the entire race.
Bui there is another more important
reason for the imperviousness
of the Negro to subersive
ideas, and one in which you as
Negroes have justifiable occasion
1 for pride. Among you there are no
Benedict Arnolds, no Quislings, no
- traitors, no saboteurs. You are not
t troubled by the dogging suspicion
t of your own people. You* need not
i fear the patriotism of your neigh
bor. The American Negro has an
i unsullied record of patriotism.
And one sure thing i_n this uncerr
tain, Avnrld of-ours is that no mat- 'er
.what comes, this record wiH
} be kept unsullied!
