“Manners are of more importance than
laws. Upon them, in great measure, th.■
laws depend. The law touches us but here
and there, now and then. Manners are
what vex and soothe, corrupt or purify,
exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us. by
a constant, steady, uniform, insensible op-
eration, like that of the air we breathe in.’
—Edmund Burk
BEHAVIOR IS IMPORTANT
From time to time, we have endeavored
to point out important implications of be¬
havior. We have tried to show that be¬
havior plays an important part in determ¬
ining one’s social status. Loud and in¬
delicate speech, crude and demonstrative
bodily action, and lack of consideration for
the feelings and comfort of others are con-
sidered had manners. We believe care-
lessess as to personal hygiene, soiled, sloven
inappropriate dress, sullen and forbidding I
countenance should also be classed ,as bad i
manners. They certainly affect one’sl
acceptability by people of good breeding,
Candor compels us to admit that these j
faults must be eliminated in order to;
strengthen our protest against segregation
in certain areas. Of course, everybody niTemi-
knows that Negroes are not the only
ers in this regard, but they are our chief
concern
There are some who feel that good man-
nets, in some instances, go farther than |
money. The old folk used to say that
rood manners will get you further than
meffie money. ' There is some evidence that
correct. There have been reported 1
wope ; individuals receiving
mahy instances of j
valuable awards and consideration because;
they were courteous and thoughtful to j
persons who were in peculiar need of
courtesy and thoughtfulness. A most im¬
pressive instance of this is well known in
Our state. A man who owned his busi¬
ness, but not the building in which he ran
it, ing noticed that his employees were avoid¬ also
one of his regular customers who
noticed the action of the men. The owner
of the business, made it his business to
wait on the mistreated customer, giv.ng
him the deft and delicate services that is
traditional with the trade. The custom¬
er thanked him, and from that day the
owner of the business was permitted to
stay in the building rent free as long as
he wanted to. Imagine what this meant
to the business man who did not know
before this that his customer owned the j
building. This business man became one
of the most prosperous Negroes in the
state of Georgia.
Some Negro papers have kept up a
more or less steady campaign for good
MASONIC DEGREE TEAM
ANNIVERSARY
Savannah’s degree tea m,
widely heralded in Masonic
circles, has completed one year
of existence and will observe
this anniversary on Friday
night, July 9, at the First Mt.
Bethel Baptist church.
One of the major accomplish¬
ments of the team in its pro¬
gram of “religion at work’’ lq
having worshipped with, and
presented programs at ten of i
the city’s churches of various I
denominations. These groups,
together with their pastors
and choirs will be brought to¬
gether on a program which
will consist largely of the type
of music rendered at the wor¬
ship services of these various
churches.
Besides these groups others
expected to be represented on
the program are: The Most
Worshipful Prince Hall Grand
Lodge of Georgia, the Order of
the Eastern Stay the Past
Masters of Savannah: Omar
Temple No. 21. Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine; Omar Court No,
91, Daughters of Isis, and Ezra
Consistory No 27. Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite of Free-
masOnry. !

! behavior. “A prominent* -organization
^ city waged a KOO{1 behavior
a short while ago, and one minister,
to say, got into hot water with other
bers of his calling, because he
strongly complained of the misbehavior
our folk in pujblic places—churches,
lure theatres, dance halls ami on the streets-
He might have added, at baseball and foot¬
ball games, and at most places where we
gather. These efforts to call attention to
(he behavior of Negroes have not bpen us-
loss nor entirely ineffective. We believe
more people are concerned about this
question than there were before these ef¬
forts were made, but offenders in this re¬
load seem to increase. Perhaps the great¬
est problem confronting us here is that of
getting over to offenders the fact that
they are hurting not only themselves, but
that they are doing everybody else almost
irreparable damage through their misbe¬
havior. We know 1 that the, very offfend-
ers whom this article might' help,’ will not
see it, but our hope is that through this
medium clubs, churches, schools, lodges,
societies, barber shops, restaurants, and
all places of amusement and recreation
will be stimulated to join in the campaign
to improve the manners and behavior of
our people. We want them to realize that
the bad behavior of our people is a millstone
about our necks. Improving the behavior
of our people is everybody’s job. Let’s go
to it-
WICKED ACTIVITY
Report reaches us that somebody is busy
advising Negroes that they should not
have much concern about voting in the
coming elections, hinting that voting cer-
tain people into office may continue to
keep our city clean. They say to them
that if the city were wide open, prosperity
would return to them; that if boledo and
numbers come back they will be better off.
We hope the report is not true. We
should hate to think that we havae in our
city persons who would stoop to such
wickedness. thing
We cannot condemn this sort of
too severely- It is base disloyalty to our
people and to the city, the majority of
whose citizens want a clean city. They
want no return to the conditions they
fought so hard to eradicate. Things are
not now as they would like them, but it
we know the feeling of Savannahians in
this regard, we believe they intend to
continue to fight til they have them so.
We urge our voters to pay no attention
to such advice. We want them to regard
it, for what it is, another device for de-
stroying their privilege of citizenship
They are p 1 a y i li g into the hands
e r h a p s intentionally, of those
who are saying Negroes are not prepared
for citizenship. We urge-them to get in¬
formation' from leaders who have proved
their interest in the Welfare of $ill of the
who have concrete, evidence of it.
GET TOGETHER
We are earnest in our appeal to our
| aiders to get together, This is no time
for splitting our people, We cannot say
this too often. The real issue for Negroes
is that of doing everything possible contend to
preserve their right to vote. We
that we are not yet secure in this right
There are politicians who are seeking elec¬
tion upon the platform of denying full
citizenship to Negroes. Division in the
tanks of Negroes will make their election
certain. differences be¬
We do not believe the
tween whatever factions there are, are wide
enough nor important enough to prevent
their getting together. The reasons for
the differences are by no means as im¬
portant as are the reasons for settling
such differences. Get together for the sake
of our political future. The interests ot
the people are bigger than, the interests ol
any individual or group of individuals.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. t ANP)
“Vote for Jce Rainey for Con-
gress and Henry Wallace for
President,” scholarly Dr. W. E
1 b DuBois told members of the
local NAACP at a mass civil
rights rally at Jones Taber-
nacle Wednesday night. He
pointed to the presidential
tions as a thing of great im-
portance in which every citi-
zen should show interest. He
said that the man elected must
be influential with a desire for
peace.
“In electing a leader,” Dr.
DuBois said, “we must first de¬
cide what we want and what
we expect.” He said the Negro
wants the abolition of discrim¬
ination and segregation
of race and color; equal edu¬
cation; fair employment; med¬
ical aid, and a democratic gov¬
ernment ■ There must be no
compromise for less than a full
realization of his wants, Dr. Du
Bois emphasized, for in accept¬
ing less, the Negro will default
the whole issue.
Despite the widespread fal¬
lacies of race peculiarities and
inferiorities, civilization is the
product of all races and creeds.
If the civilization crumbles, all
races will crumble-
The highlight of the speech
made by the director of special
research of the NAACP came
when he called on the Negro
. to cast his ballot foe peace,
matter what ? pretext was offer-
ed to . promote war. „ He urged ,
the opposition of the draft and
universal military training, en-
couraged friendship with Rus-
