Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., under the Act of March 3, 1879 SOUTH KliN CONi rKIUTVCE FOR HUMAN WELFARE The Southern Conference For Human Welfare about to hold its fourth conven¬ tion, announces again its reasons for be¬ ing. Among them are these: “But in spite of its great wealth in timber, miner¬ als, oil, waterpower and gas; despite its fertile land, favoraible climate, excellent position and other major advantages; de¬ spite the fact that some gains have been made in recent years in relative per capita income—the South remains, in the historic words of Franklin Delano Roose¬ velt, ‘The Nation’jf Economic Problem Number One.’ With more children per capita than any other section of the coun¬ try, the South still fails to provide adequate training for real jobs and thtir rightful role in the South's development.” The organization seems to have weathered the frantic efforts of a few months ago to place upon it the stigma of communism. The following statement of a part of its creed should banish all doubt as to its sin¬ cere and righteous interest in the South’s progress: “We believe that the growth of Southern industry, owned by Southerners, and freed to compete with the rest of American industry on equal basis, is in- despensable to an improved standard of living for the people of the south; that the organization of the workers of the South into strong unions will stimulate indus¬ trialization, greater purchasing power, increased trade for merchants and better markets for agriculture; ...” The South¬ ern Conference For Human Welfare holds its fourth convention, a Thanksgiving Convention in the city of New Orleans. November 28-30. It is attempting to per¬ fect a movement which all right thinking people of good will reqlize as necessary if all people in the south are ever to work and live together for the greater good of the South. 5 jf A GOOD JOB The handling of the Elixson case was a job well done, which deserves the com¬ mendation and gratitude of all the citizens of this city, and this state. From the very beginning, the muddling, stupidity and appeal to racial prejudice which has so often resulted in a miscarriage of jus¬ tice and violence toward innocent people were avoided. In similar cases, in other communities, a white woman’s word would have resulted in the lynching of at least two innocent Negroes, and the terrorizing of an entire Negro community. While the official, responsible for the handling of the case and for bringing it to solution, did his sworn duty, we express the feeling of every Negro in this county and of many white people also in asserting our gratifi¬ cation that we have such an official who has the respect and confidence of a com¬ munity like ours. Lodges And Chapters Notes At the Scottish Rite gather¬ ing in Washington last week, 138 illustrious Peers were ele¬ vated to the Thirty-Third De¬ gree. The members of the Consistories in the other states are surpassing us in interest in the orders. Ezra Cons’story held a ses¬ sion Sunday that was full of Interest, with Com m an de r - in - Chief R Smith presiding. Sev¬ eral applicants were for the coming ceremonial that will be held. Other applicants will be received. "Wednesday night Grand Mas¬ ter Dobbs spoke for the breth¬ ren at Gary. Ind. Bro. Wm. B. Young, a former Savannah- ian, is W M His father was a member of Mt.

They are lining up issues. Inter* estingly enough both are disclaiming any connection with the moribund old admin¬ istration. istration Both are disavowing bossism. ?."• hCUd , , \. °L th h l ,. t Uk ir-W-t-i ±, iSL are proclaiming i their independence, and both stand tor good government. Our concern is how they will appeal to the Negro voter. The old administration, as a matter of record, did very little for Negro citizens, though there was much it could have done. As a matter of fact, it has done very many things, or permitted some things to hap¬ pen which did not help the reputation of city as a city interested in the welfare of all people. Police brutality towards Ne¬ was not uncommon, and gambling games and gamblers honey-combed the Certain practices of the police court required action of the Grand Jury to put end to them. These things were large¬ responsible for the defeat of the admin¬ istration in the July primary. Because these things, both parties are vigorous¬ denying identification with it. At the moment, Negro citizens very properly feel they should exercise the utmost cau¬ tion as to taking sides. Like other citi¬ they are wondering if a better poli¬ would be to vote for men rather than for parties. Of course there are things Negroes want and think they deserve things which this community needs and can profit by—to make this a where its citizens work and live to¬ gether understanding^. A veterans’ or¬ ganization expressed some of these things clearly in a letter to the GI and Peo¬ party. The party which gives assur¬ that these things will be done, takes a long step towards winning the Negro in the coming city primary. REPUBLICAN RESURGENCE Wishful thinking Republicans, and cer¬ tainly some of the rock-ribbed variety, beginning to “lick their chops ’ as break out here and there which seem indicate that prodigal Republican states return to the fold in the elections to be held soon. Republicans are especially san¬ guine about their chance to gain majori¬ in both the House and Senate. If this happens, Republicans will come into pos¬ session of the following House chairman¬ ships: Appropriations: WSfT mtF Means. Affairs, Banking and Currency, and Military Affairs. While the Repub¬ licans are hopeful, but not certain, as to the Senate majority, a turn over there would hav§ a like effect. Perhaps the have learned a lesson from having slumped into the valley of politi¬ cal power for fourteen long years - and il thev gain power, may mend their fences. In the East and MidAfest they, are faced with appeasing the Negro vote ii) 4 those pivotal states. Their coalition with re¬ actionary southern element will need the forgiveness of Negro voters who are at disposed to remind them, in a way hurts, of their failure to give their support to liberal Democrats in such as attempts to pass anti-poll tax and anti-lynching bills, and a perma¬ FEPC bill. It was in their power to choke off the notorious filibuster ot Bilbo, Rankin and Company, but wouldn’t do it because of their tie-up with southern Democrats. Only a few of them, in both Bouse and Senate, dared lift their voices in favor of a square deal for the Negro sol¬ dier in the last year, and against the un¬ democratic practices even in the nations capitol. In addition to these things, the Republicans will have to overcome the fact that the Democratic administration under President Roosevelt placed more Negroes in positions of responsibility than all Re¬ publican administrations at the peak ot their power and tenure. The Republican party faces a great and serious challenge. will do about REV. BAINES IN THE CITY Rev.
