"f winking in such .'stabh- hn,' n ’ , In the meantime th? older Ni-j-i who knew everything and did; th. starting point. In undertakm.'' things new the Negron has every- । thing to gain and nothing to lose Let him, therefore, go forward m the hope of a better day.'L After this young man hud talked; to m? in this fashion I wa s not sun * that 1 eould properly comply with ' the request to advise a group of , young people of this type now d - I ing a fine piece of work in a | persons not under twenty nor more than thirty-five, the aim be ing to excluded those who are t-o young to think and to k-ep out also' those wh () are too old to get away , from their warped education in th slavery setting. At first these young people were criticised as foolish and dangerous. In the same city at this time a group of older Negroes were at work trying also to open up new avenues of employment for people of color; and it was feared that the in o r e aggressive organization would ruffle th? feelings of the employers and cause the Negroes to lose what jobs they have. The old dr heads believed phatonly ihi > cautious and tactful should be allowed to approach the employers । The Uncle Toms were so scared ! that they would proceed only step i by step and then in cringing fash ion to the back door with hat un der arm, and keeping the way of regress wide open so as t run back or to run out of town if necessary if the employers turned upon them. While the older Negroes were do- I ing nothing in this fashion, as most I of us do. these young-r people un- I der a courageous Lader made a survey of their neighborhood. ' found out how many patronized ; the stores of merchants on the cor- I ners. and secured the support of such persons in their campaign for recognition in th? management and development of these businesses. Th-y did this too without begging. Thi y merely went to these mer chants in straightforward fashion saying. “You g t our trade here. It is worth so much a year to you We get nothing in return for what we giv<. you. You bring into our community as h persons who Ido not give you I!.: trade. You ■ i”"st let Us shire t!i prosperity I which we bring you.” I In this way this aggressiv? group perfect a country-wide organiza tion. The busy activity of Civil Ser vice Commissioner Morton during the last two months has been viewed by many as significant of 'his desire t o supplant Julian Rainey, prominent lawyer of Bos ton, Massachusetts, as nat onal Democratic leader among Negro voters. Within this period Morton has conferred with leading Demo crats in St Louis. Chicago. Mary land New Jersey an I other Slates Thus fat he has gained their ac tive support with the exception i f Dr. William Tomkins, outstandin;: Democratic leader of Kansas City. Missouri. Dr. Tompkins and other leaders have declared themselves dissatisfied with the brand of leadership shown by Morton in his St. Louis speech on February 12. when he declared himself willing to support a Southern Democratic candidate This pronouncement is said to have caused a number of his supporters to fall away from h s banner. Even Floyd Calvin, newspaperman. who has been writing articles highly praising Ihe New York Democrat, recently took issue with his St. Louis speech. Another disagreement with the speech was registered editorially by the Baltimore Afro- American. hitherto Democratic in I its political leanings. Observ rs of the situation have intimated that thee believe the St Lou s speech was a bid for na tional leadership on the part of; Morton and was so phrased as to | cutch the ear o< leading Southern 1 Democrats now pretty much in i '■ontrol of the Democratic Party. I This speech thev indicat.d has 1 cau ed many of his Ni gro follow ers t> revolt his leadership.

This i. the young Negro of to day asserting himself. He has broken away from slavery and its traditions. 11- has recovered from th, . duration imposed upon him by ho. i inducers working through members of his ow mace. This young Negro does not understand i every time <xa<tly which way to! go; but. brlieving that so far the' r.n ? 11.'. not gone anywhere, tiie restless youth is ready to plunge to find a way out of the difficulties which beset his people. And he is right. If you listen awhile to the advice that Negro leaders are now giving their peo ple. if you carefully investigate the significance of wiiat our teachers impart to students, if you exam ine closely what ministers are feed- ing th' ir flocks with on Sunday j morning if you will look into these things, you will readily un-, derstand why Negroes are mtw] groping in th? dark to find the j n< arest bread line. These leader: have no program. The message to the Negro has always been secondhand thought, i long sin -,, discarded by the most ! progressive elements, but considt r •<d advisable in the case of the Ne । gro to direct his course in a direc - tion opposite to that pursued by I others. No Negro should try to run ! a department store because he does | not know the business, and the whit, s will not teach him. He must therefore, stick to what his race was doing centuries ago. No Ne gro should open a factory because I he does not control the raw ma- I terials, and he does not know the imarkit. No Negro should try to | run a daily because he cannot j stand the competition of the better I established journals. And so on we | learn what we cannot do. When the | educational pro- ess is finish d. w? j are also finished. i To concede such preachment: as j true and despair will be suicidal ;If the Negroes cmnot do all of 1 these things in spite of obstacles to | encountered, then, the race had ■ just as well die. If the Negroes | concede that their path upward is j blocked and conduct themselv x accordingly, then th-y have ceased I to serve any useful purpo. e, and I the world will devise menus foi their : xtermination.
