. Bishop Grant Sits Pretty
¢.; Despite the fact that he was torn from the altar where
he was presiding over the Alabama Conference and lodged
in jail for several hours until he could raise $1,000 bond,
Bishop R. A. Grant is sitting pretty.
. . Bishops of his church, with one exception, have failed
to condemn their collegue. The reason is that Bishop
Grant belongs to the majority faction of the bishops’ coun
cil; which assigns those bhishops who it dislikes to the small,
out-of-the-way and poorly paving districts.
L. As far as the bishops of the church are concerned, Bis
hop Grant is safe.
~ As far as the church publications are concerned, his
job is secure also.
The Philadelphia Christian Recorder ,the official week-
Iy organ, and the quarterly A.M.E. Review chronicle every
episcopal act, but when Bishop Grant signed a contract to
pay $2,000 to the mother of an illegitimate child, and then
Bued to break this contract on th ground that the “girl told
on him,” the Recorder and the Review consistently kept
mum.
The reason is, their editors are candidates for the bis
hops’ bench themselves, so they'll say nothing that might
cause them to lose the vote of Bishop Grant’s friends in the
next General Conference.
.~ The ambitions of these editors muzzle them complete
1y, -and the result is that their publications trying to please
éyerybody, ratle hardly third class, and Bishop Grant is safe
frem criticism.
-+ In this church, the policy of defending and apologizing
for those accused of crime and immorality has become so
fixed that it is not surprising to find alleged episcopal mis
demeanors on the increase.
- #'*The list now includes graft, fraud, drunkenness and pa
ternity. One wonders where it wil] stop.

Shakinz The Political Plum Tren

Political resuits ace ue to the oo
¢ od race (1) through partizan. and
(2).‘_\; through non-partizan activitv
In -securing small favors, partizan
adherents are apt to be more
suegessful; but to accomplishing any
result of broad advantage requires
nona-partizan and stateman like pro
cedure. Since the days of recon
struction all worthwhile reforms in
politics have come about on this
principle. Civil service reform. the
enfranchisement of woman and all
ofher great social reforms have
beén promoted on a non-partizan
basis.
. The political advancement, in the
first instance, became a partizan
matter as a geographical accident.
Attitude on the race problem fol-
Towed is other mal lines. The Negro
became a partizan by necessitv. But
as time and circumstances change
this ancient partizanship become
less and less neccssary and de
sirable. For the last twenty year:
the Negro has gained no advantage
of valuc bv virtue of partizan ad-
herence. He has received little or
nothing by way of the spoils of of-l
fice, the immemorial reward of|
partizanship, nor yet he secured any |
farvorable legislation or effective
enforcement of the law where his
citizenship rights were in jeopardy
Nor does there seem to be any hope |
for improvement for the future. |
Past experience proves that the!
Negro's political hope, if he has any,
jes in non-partizan movements de-l
%fizd to the welfare of the race re- |
dless of partizanship. The ac-‘
complishments of the National As
sociation for the Advancement r»f‘
g‘o)ored People amply sustains this
esis. Here is a purely nrmpartizm:l
organization which is ready to ro |
with or against either or bot. poli- |
tical parties in order to promo: » tho
advancement of the people. 11 we
put in parallel columns fhe achieve
ments of this militant organization
and those of our purely partizan
leadership. the -contrast would be
pitiable indeed. By way of improve-|
ment of the Negro's political. civil
ad civic status. the partizan politi- |
ans have accomplished absolutely
: within the past two decades.
‘the mean time, the N. A. A. C. P.
ag secured from the Supreme
ourt two unanimous decisions, onn
ion validating the Fifteenth
Wndment. and the other. outlaw
ng segregation as far as that can
ba :done by legal artion. This or

validation of the Fifteenth Amend

bf the white Democratic primaries
w South and a further decision
any individual who attempts to
leprive a citizen of the right of
“franchise is chargeable with a cri-
Pinal offense, Thus the whole
wc of disfranchisement has been
given a body blow. All of this has
been accomplished while partizan
politicians have been doing noth
ing but shooting off their blatant
mouths glorifying the G. O. P. ar~
denouncing t h e Democrats ad

an important announcement. On
the evening of Friday, Dec. 4, the
Newspaper Scrapbook, an organi
zation of employees of The Am
sterdam News, will pitch a party
in the form of an amateur min
strel show and dance in the Alham
bra Ballroom. You are doubtless
aware that there are two kinds
of parties. Those that are pitched
and those that are given. When
you are invited to a party that's
being given you don't go if you can
think of a plausible excuse for
staying away. If you do show up.
you don't have a good time and go
home early. You can take my word
for it that our party is not being
given. It's being pitched, tossed.
heaved and thrown for a row of
bellylaughs. We are going to unlax
in all kinds of ways and ask you to
come and have a good time with us
until it's time to go home and take
the milk in.
A novel feature of the evening's
entertainment will be a minstrel
show— ves, I said novel! I know
vou have probably seen oodles of
minstrel shows. all the way back
{o the days of Docstader and Prim
rose. But you haven't seen our
minstrel show. I insist that it's
a genuine novelty. If you don't be
lieve me, come and see for your
self,
The show will open with Mr.
Keley, the editdr. singing the old
favorite, “Old Black Joes.” The
reason why we have decided to let
Mr. Kelley render the opening
number is because we want a per
former with a lot of magnetism.
not to mention good looks, to
warm up the house, so our show
can get away to a flying start. An
other reason is because the au
thor of “Old Black Joe” has been
dead a long time and can’t do
anvthing about it.
Our Beal Street Gal
After Mrd. Keley goes off. if he
isn't carried off. we will present
our Brunhildean Beal Street prima
donna, Lillian Sharpe Hunter. Our
diva will render that grand Italian
aria “The St Tolis Biues.' Y have
been informed that Mr. Handy hos
never heard Miss Hunter sing the
“St. Louis Blues.” so it is not likelv
that he will be present to protest.
Tt is also my pleasure to announce

“Our plan provide; for the proper

Music in the Air
Noble Sissle desreves no end of
praise for putting on the air a col
ored orchestra that does n o t
sound like a cracked phonograh
record of Jnnkinsf Orphanage banA
rehearsing Sousa's “El Capitan’
march backwards. Most colored
band lcaders. encouraged by the
nersistent ballvhon of a mob of
white vulgarians. like Walter
Winchell and their hanky-head
imitators on the hither side of the
color line, make their bids for
popularity by featuring the kind
of “hot” so-called harmonies that
are reputed to make music take
the place of gin, ovsiors and love
nowders, Ohcorved in a theatre
the monkevshines of these bands
are usuallv high'y entertaining:
for onlv a blind man could fail to
be amused by the sight of the
saxophonist turning somersaults.
t h e trombone plaver bouncing
around in a circle on his rump and
the trap drummer sliding halfway
across the stage on his belly to
tinkle the cymbal at just the right
second to maintain the rhythm,
while the leader chuffles from one
player to annther like a man with
St. Vitus' dance. No doubt, the ad
cent of television will enable us to
onjoy these antics over the air.
Sissle's orchestra is the best col
ored band that has ever been on
the air. lL.est this be taken for faint
praise, T hasten to add that it
easily rates with the half-dozen
leading white orchestras currently
broadcasting. Guy Lambardo, Ben
'Bernie, Paul Whiteman, Rudy Val
'lee, Coon Sanders--to make six
'you simply must include Noble
'Sissle. And not neeessarily at the
lbmtom of the list.
When Sissle plays a tune it is not
necessary to wait for the network
announcer to tell you what he's
playing. This is the first essential
of sound music, for sensational
harmonies a n d hlond-stirring
rhythms can never take the place
of a melody thst pleases. the ear
Sissle’s playing is straigh!forward
and sweet and, at the same time,
stimulating and sensuous. To turn
from one of his broadcasts to one
of, say Cab Calloway, is to turn
from a competent orchesira piav
ing civilized music to what affects
the ear like a band of clowns en
gaged in trombone practice.

“PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERING”
Heb. 2:10
Suffering is a wonderful fertilizer in the roots of charac
ter. Tre zreat object of this life is character. This is the only
thing we can carry with us into eternity. To gain the most of
it and the best of it is the object of probation,
“By the thorn and no other is the mount of vision won.”
