The object lesson furnished by the defeat of the Parker nomi nation. has been carried into a num ber of senatorial flections, Jnd the defeat of Baird in New Jersey has a significance that is not lost on the nation. Negro voters are rapidly learning to think for them selves. 2. Economic Program: N. A A C. P. branches throughout the United States have been asked to inform themselves about employ ment and relief conditions among Negroes, and to move for both jobs and relief where these arc urgent’?- needed. "But Where You Can Work" campaign instituted on a national scale with special refe:- ence to chain stores. 1. Legal Defense: Tlie Scotts boro cases are the most dramatic and widely known legal struggle on which the N. A. A. C. P. has epibarked during the year. Argu ment on them before the Alabama Supreme Court will be heard early in the coming year. Meanwhile hundreds of appeals have come to the Association during the year. Cases undertaken by the N. A. A C. P. range from school segre gation fights to intervention to sive colored men sentenced to death on murder charges. Among the outstanding cases during the ytMr are the following: .S.- iool segregation cares in Hill burn. N. Y.: Vallejo, Cal.; Mans field. O: Gary. Ind. rTexas White Primary Case 'the second) carried to U. S.

Haiti: The Association has continued its efforts for a free and independent Black Republic of Haiti. Memorandum in which 8 6ther national organizations con curred was submitted to President Hoover, asking for restoration of Haitian sovereignty, and request made of Senate Finance Committee for investigation of Haitian loans floated in this country. 7. Economy; The Association has adopted a ten per cent cut in salaries for all executive officers, and five per cent for clerical force, and by consolidating work has dropped three members of the national office staff. fB. Finances: Despite the depre: - stion the Association's gross income Was greater in 1931 than in 1930. the figures being, for 1930. $59,747 and for 1931 (to Dec 29) $74 192 90. Colored people, harder bit by un employment than any other group in the country have rallied to the N.A.A.C.P. and white people have more and more recognized the nec essity of the work it is doing. 9. Field Work: Officers of the Association travelled 70,000 miles 4ufing the year and addressed a to tal of about 700 public meetings. These included university student gatherings and classes, public for civic clubs, women's clubs, po- JORDAN STARTS, BIG SALE SATURDAY l Tins cumin:. SaturdaV Junkc.

Brawley Challenges; Young Negro In Emancipation Address In Clark (Impel BY H ( LIS JONES Ringing forth a string of facts pertinent tu Hie Race ifiiestion that were so cold, statistical, and vivid that he caused In lim ners to shudder in apprehension. Dean J I’. Brawley, curricular exo ■ utive ot Clark University uncorked an address of epi chai importao ■ in his Emancipation effort within tlie confines of tTie CTogman ( i-.pel here last Monday. So thoroughly conclusive wa.- the educatoi argument 1 for Dean Brawley': addres; really was an ai yomeiitatix e ■ xposition) that following tlie tumultuous applause that it provoked. Dr J W. E Bowen, une of the best thinkers mill most capable public peakers ot Hu Ract today, arose from ins eat and emphasized in L icetul terms the importance of chewing and digesting the sub dance of the talk. "Lm fed up on eloquence and <,:atmns confessed Dr. Bowen, 1 have l"iig been tired of them ('ova <|uenti;, I was deeply moved v,!. a Dean Brawley came forth Hi la''’ data, statistics, and timeworn truisms to appeal to 111- n feet ' Cold Facts Dean Brawley, in his character-- : tically scientific manner of nalysis. histed from field, to trac ing the development of the Negro When he wound up he nau given birth to strong convictions on the Negro question in virtually all his listener: He made a thorough and consummate survey of the status of the Race economically, political ly. socially, and educationally with the aid of so many statistics and data that his talk took on tlie as pect of a lecture 111 higher mathe matii: One of the speaker’s firmest con victions was that "freedom is not something that one can award to another, but is a self-directing force, which must emanate from within.” He further expressed the viewpoint that the Emancipation Proclamation was simply a declara tion of the legal provision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness, classified a s 'inalienable rights' in the U. S. Constitution Four Phases Tiic economic phase of Hie ad dress tended to show the futility of Negro business The Dean struck deeply at the roots of the evils that tended to make Negro business un stable. The political phase, like the eco nomic phase, was checkered with interesting statistics, statistics which j tended to prove that if any solution |to the Race question evolves, it 'must not be independent of an in- crease in political prestige. Discrimination of Funds The social phase and the edu* cational phase were beautifully 'interlinked. The figures here were I probably more interesting, more vivid, more convincing than all the rest. Attention was called to the discrimination in the amount of funds appropriated for Negro edu cation and that of the whites by tlie State. Cold facts showed the 'great variance in per capita allott kient for education between the two races However. Dean Brawley .never once implied that the State owed it to the Negro to appropriate him more money for education. i But lie did challenge the Negro youth to the question of whether or not he was really proving him self deserving of State help. He climaxed his address with three burning question:- which have grown out of the racial feeling on the question of Negro education today. Asked Burning Questions The vital questions cited by Dean Brawley were tl> Should faltering ienominational schools turn their iuse over to the State? (2) It nut. who will support these faltering in • titutions, and from whence will ; e funds for support come'’ and :> Is the Negro youth being mis t bleated.'.’ That those three questions are al-.mt the most current and vital . 1. sues confronting the Negro in the educational world today is a tact obvious to the most casual thinker. So-called depression is upon us and more and more schools are failing. Hence, the origin of the first two questions. We have hundreds and hundreds of graduates coming out of the schools every year who do nothing but crowd the teaching profession, not even having their hearts any closer tu their task than the attendant pay check. And from t.'iere. one can easily imply the derivation of the third question. Offered Remedy In the same consummate manner m which Dean Brawley went about making the problems of the Negro w -ume their much-needed import ance m the eyes of the coming Ne gro leaders, he went about trying to propose a solution for these problems. One of the most captivating statements in his many theoretic steps in a passible remedy was the utterance that the "Negro needs to discard his innate ’want-to be-boss" philosophy for an effec tive '. tart-at-the-bottom-ism " Contrary to what one would ex pect from the general trend of tin account. Dean Brawley did not as sume a pessimistic attitude. Early in his address he lauded the Negm "greats” of the pi .-sent day in all fields and expressed hope and fmHi in the future. It was a masterfc deliverance indeed, and a mot i .n summate one. Buy From WORLD Advertisers NEGRO HOMICIDE CASES FOR 1331 LEJO WITH 74 White Victims No. 11 As Rate Falls MEMPHIS. Tenn.. Jan S The homicide bureau records for 1931. showing that ten less people were killed last year than the pre vious year, was not nearly so much a cause for jubilation for Negroes of this city as it was for their tel low citizens of the opposite race. The annual » report o f Captain Frank Glisson revealed that only eighty-five people were killed in 1931 as compared with ninety-five in 1930. but Hie decrease m the number of homicides was made on the pai t of the nordic populace. The homicide records of Negroes for 1930 and 1931 stand like Siamese twins, seventy four mur ders as compared with seventy four murders for each of the respective years. These figures were turned over to Commissioner Clift Davis by the homicide captain. Immorality, Liquor Cause Of Maj ority of Homicides Digging into the "official causes' of last year's murders. Captain | Frank Glisson stated in his report ithat immorality was the leading I motive for slaying in 1931. This | has also been the main cause in re i cent years, dating back to 1925. |The liquor motive went in for a i little spotlight last year with 18 i people killed as the result of the illegal beverage as compared with I only 16 in 1939 Other motives tor I murders were gambling. 15; rob bery 11; revenge 3: burglary 3; jealousy 2 and insanity 2. The aver age age of the slayer was 32.08 and of the slam 32.41 Ages of the dec i eased ran from 17 to 63 and of the slayers from 17 to 70 years. 56 Men, 18 Women of Race Slain I Comparing the number of whites killed with tlie number of Negroes, j’he reports are an unfavorable re i flection on Negro society of Mem : phis. There were 7-1 Negroes slain. 156 men, and 18 womef. Seven I white men were killed by white imen, one white man was killed by a colored man. 11 Negro men were | killed by white men. 36 Negro men i were killed by Negro men. nine land two colored women killed by Negro women killed by Negro men. jcolored women. According to Cap j tain Glisson, only one murder re -1 mains unsolved. The slaying of | Henry J. Huggins by a Negro rob ber the early part of 1931 holds j this lone record. j It is reasonable to believe that many more slaying of Negroes in outlying sections and in many of the crowded quarters of Memphis escaped the attention o f t Ii e homicide bureau. Thousands of Negroes are huddled together in apartments that face alleys and un charted streets, where crime of ev ery conceivable nature is commit ted. Although there are hundreds of causes that breed crimes of mur der in such places, accounts, if such acts arc committed, seldom reach police headquarters. j Other high points of Captain Glisson report may be summed as follows; weapons used by slayers, pistols. 57: knives 15; shotguns. 6; ice pick:, timber, axes and rilles. 7. Arrests. 151 as total; acquittal 3: pending cases 8: workhouse for 90 days one: sentenced for 5 years: one for one year 1: for three years three; for 10 years 11; for 21 years one. Two were sent to the Western State hospital for the insane, l-l were exonerated by grand juries. 15 were dismissed by coroner's juries and two slayers were killed in pistol battles. June led all mon ths in murder committed with 12. and November had only four mur ders for the least number of any month. DROWNED ON WAY TO FUNERAL YAZOO CITY. Miss., Jan.

Douglas School Remained Open Preparations for the reopening of the 72 county schools of Shelby have been constantly going on since early last fall To assure a large attendance at these county schools, teachers have worked with the parents of their pupils in help ing them to supply food and cloth es.
