ON UNEMPLOYMENT.
More than pa. sing attention should be paid to the findings
of the unemployment conference just closed in Washington.
The problem of seeing to it that the more than 3500000
unemployed persons in the United States receive enough employ-
ment to render them able to support themselves and families de-
pends for solution as much upon the masters of finance as upon
the. smaller consumers of the products of these masters who
must use added help in applying

reached only aa those of our people who find themselves jobless
in the places to which they have gone return home.
Be that as it may all sections of the country should realize
that the program outlined by the conference if followed "in a
spirit of patriotic patience on the part of all our people" will do
much to remedy a condition which is fast becoming acute.
A part of the findings of the committee is as follows:
1. That unemployment today numbers between 3500000
and 5500000 and there is a much greater number depended up-
on them."
2. Organization of the country to meet the crisis being nec-
essary and the problem being ''primarily a community problem."
responsibility should immediately be assumed by the Mayor of
each city.
3. Each community should organize an emergency com-
mittee establish efficient public employment agencies register
all desiring work and co-ordinate
tions keeping registration for work and charity entirely separate.
4. The community should be canvassed for employment op
portunities and priorityin employment should be given residents.
5. The emergency committee should regularly publish the
numbers dependent upon them for emploment and relief that the
community may be continuously apprised of its responsibility.
Begging should be prevented.
6. Private houses hotels
pairs cleaning and alterations
7. . Municipalities should expand their public improvements
and new projects to the fullest degree possible giving ' short-
time employment in order to extend the number of employed.
8. Governors should co-operate with Mayors and do every
thing possible for the expedition of construction of roads State
buildings etc.
9. Federal authorities including Federal Reserve Banks.
should expedite construction of public buildings and public works
authorized by existing appropriations.
10. A congressional appropriation for road building would
make available a large amount of employment and the conference
recommends congressional action at the present session in order
that work may go forward.
Such a program if followed will open up a fair amount of
work for. many men. Our men even as others will be benefitted
by it. Probably in Southern States though the problem is not
so acute our men will fare better than others due to the fact
that "pride of race" renders some men "above" common iobs
and such work will of course fall
tnem.
Thus while we appreciate
ernment has given unemployment conditions as they affect the
whole nation we seem to see in its program especially as it ap-
plies to our section a specific reason to be thankful for it
NIGHT SCHOOLS.
An opportunity for improvement has again been presented
all of us in the opening of public night schools.
They are furnished free of charge by the city for the use of
all of those whose economic conditions and ages prevent them
from attending the regular daily sessions. And the courses of-
fered are numerous. Elementary subjects" high school subjects
primary training Spanish Manual and domestic art may be had
there.
Every forward looking person should avail himself of this
opportunity for improvement.
Ignorance nowadays is inexcusable. Every man or woman
of whatever age he or she may be has a chance to receive train-
ing and it is his duty to do it.
During last year the attendance at the Negro night schools
was far below what it should have been. Seemingly only a few
persons among us were able to realize the greatness of the op-
portunity presented to them in the opening of these schools. '
May that not be the case this year. It is to be sincerely
hoped that a proportionately greater number of us may begin
more fully to see that an investment of time now in stnriv nrl
learning will pay large dividends
mere are 100 many young men and women woefully ig-
norant unable to read or write. They it is who should be glad
of this opportunity to Improve themselves.
HELPING THE DESTRUCTIVE SPIRIT.
To many of us the utter unwillingness of men supposedly of
sound Judgment to face facts
pleasant L astounding. They are prone to smooth over and
conceal many of those things which they know to be slowly work
ing their undoing.
The following comment on a
an example of the general course
whose vision should be sharpened
lic welfare and whose utterances should be rendered concise and
constructive by the courage of righteous convictions but who in-
stead ponder to what has been judged to be "public taste" and
thereby work mightily to the everlasting destruction of an hon
orable and established order.
The comment under the headinir "An Example in Opposites"
follows: .
The lynching of a Nccrro bov
ham County last week was one of the most abhorrent incidents
of the tiities. It win an outrage against law which North Caro-
lina must shamefully acknowledge. Put happily we have the
privilege now as usually developed in this State of turning to in-
cide? t of the exact opposite. An old "mammy" died a few days
8 go at Marshvillc in Union County. They called her Aunt Helen
Flake and she was regarded as a community asset. She moved
among the white folks and was of particular service in times of
sickness. She had "raised" many of them and she was loved
and respected. The people of the vicinity in order to give mark
of their appreciation of the "blameless life' ol this old Colored
woman are now raising a fund with which to erect a monument
at her tfreve the various missionary societies being especially ac-
tive in the movement Lynching may go on but in the hearts
of the Southern people there is yet firmly lodged the spirit of
devotion and faithfulness to the Negro.
Comment such t.s this only speeds the eventual disentegra-
tion of our American scheme because of encouragement of the
mob spirit.
The analogy of this editor fails miserably it seems to us.
The friendship of the older white settlers for the "black
mammy" may have been real enough but she represented an ex-
ception to the general rule.
The lynching of the boy by blood houn I identification is an
example of the rule of conduct generally followed.
Lynching will go on unless deterred' by the vigorous cultiva-
tion of a public sentiment against it. And whether it is general-
ly realized or not its speedy spread during the past few years
gives ample reason for the belief that unless stronger deterrents
than half hearted censue are used the land of law where last-
ing friendships are 'low possible will descend to the 'evel of a
primitive socay governed by the instinct of the beast.

THE AITTIOX BLOCK.
By Judge Jacob Panken.
In St. Augustine Fla. every visitor Is led to the auction block. It is
a relic. When one contemplates the block which was used to sell human
oelngs Into slavery he is greatful that he does not live in that bygone
age. Jt is a relic. So most people believe.
When the civil war came to an end the people of the land congratu-
lated one another. Slavery had disappeared the world believed. The own-
ership of humans by other humans had been wiped out. A million lives
were given to abolish ownership of man by mttn. An abomination has
been removed from our midst.
The people of our land touched by the divine spark willed it that
slavery be eradicated from America. A man rising from the womb of the
common people was chosen to be the spokesman to do the will of the
people That was In 1860.
One year later Jubilantly shouting "We are coming. Father Abraham"
in hundreds of thousands they donned their uniforms and shouldered their
muskets and went forth to fight for an Ideal to give freedom to the human
race.
In millions they came. In hundreds of thousands they gave their lives.
By their blood they sanctified anew the freedom which was won in the
revolutionary war.
They believed we believed that human freedom made sacred by rivers
of blood had come into our midst as
But even then great souls were apprehensive. The man who rose
from the common people Abraham Lincoln said:
I see In the near future a crisis approaching that unnerved me aud
causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have
been enthroned an era of corruption in high places will follow and the
money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working
on the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few
hands and the republic is destroyed."
Prophetic! The prophecy is coming true. Corporations are enthroned.
Capital has developed and the capitalists have aggregated for themselves
all the wealth and arrogated to themselves all the economic power and
usurped all the political powers of government.
Has slavery gone? Has chattel slavery disappeared?
The economic power in the hands of the owning group gave the cap-
italist class the control over the majority of the people comprising all
producers the farmer and the worker.
Wage slavery has taken the place of chattel slavery. Unemployment
the result of the wage slave system brings back the possibilities of chattel
slavery if not' slavery in perpetuity slavery nevertheless.
The auction block was deemed a relic. But alas! it is with us again.
It has come back.
An auction men are offered for sale on the Common of Boston Boston
the Cradle of American Liberty the Common with its traditional antece-
dents and the spirit that aroused the American colonists to fight British
autocracy.
That Boston Common is now the home of the auction block upon which
young Americans are sold into slavery upon their own request to escape
starvation.
The Common of old the Boston Common with its ghosts of the pa-
triots of 1776!
You can hear the ringing shouts of liberty merging with the cry "How
much am I bid for this splendid white muscular healthy young Amer-
ican ?" of the auctioneer.
Boston Common the altar upon which men have sacrificed their lives
to make America free!
Boston Common the funeral pyre for American freedom is being
built on Boston Common. N. Y. Call.
IH IT HAKDINti OR 0OSELYK8!
Almost every race Journal we see contains some complaint that Pres-
ident Harding has not done anything for the Negro members of the Re-
publican party. We admit that not too much has been done. We admit
that it is time something is being done.
But let us fix the cause for this apparent delay. We are ready to
saddle the President with the responsibility but are there not other Re-
publicans whose judgment the President seeks before he makes appoint-
ments and makes recommendations touching us and our interests. We
think there are men in the Republican party who make many of the rec-
ommendations acted on ly the President. Indeed the President is not
going to take any action without the approval of the party.
Now why Is it the leaders of the party do not make recommendations?
Iet us advance some of the probable reasons.
First: The appointments alrearly made by the President were ap-
pointments recommended by white leaders who wanted to see their fav-
orite Negroes appointed. These white leaders asked for the appointment
and got them. Phil Brown is such an appointee. Flipper Is another. There
are no other appointments worth the while which were not made at the
recommendation of some white party leaders. Negroes have figured very
little in these appointments.
Second: The many appointments we seok depend upon the united en-
dorsement of the Negroes asking these appointments. We wanted Line.
Johnson appointed and what happened? Just as soon as it was known
that Line. Johnson was about to ho named as Recorder of Deeds there
were a few Negroes who set themselves to the task of defeating Line and
holding up his appointment. The case of Cottrill was another signal for
fighting among Negroes. The case of Ernest Lyons was exactly the same.
Every time a man was named as the Republican appointee the Negroes
began to lynch him.
Does the Republican party want any better excuse for not making
appointments Uie President is not going to make any because the party
leaders are not going to make any recommendations to the President. This
keeps us out of appointments and at the same time allows the President
and the leaders to give their attention to something else. The President
is not anxious to stop Negroes from fighting among themselves. The party-
leaders are not Interested in stopping Negroes from fighting among them-
selves. As long as wc fight our appointees the party has nothing to do
but let the appointments rest.
We had just as well stop cursing the President and the leaders. They
know we are divided. They know we simply will not agrte. They know
we have selfish Negroes who would rather see the whole race go without
appointments than b.. rlflce their selfishness. Knowing all this there Is no
need of any anxiety on the part of the party leaders over Negro appoint-
ments. What we need to do is to show a united front to the prty leaders
for SOME man and we will get that man. The fault Is with the Negroes.
They are not together. Pittsburgh Courier.
MORAL VICTORY WOX.
What must be considered a great moral victory Is announced with the
becoming modesty of a brief Item of news bearing the dateline of Little
Rock Ark. But the fa' t that the lives or six human beings have been
spared at least temporarily expands the little news story Into a proclama-
tion of vast importance.
Judge Jacob Trieber of the United States district court bas granted
s writ of habeas corpus and Issued a restraining order prohibiting the
authorities of Arkansas from putting those six men into the electric chair
tomorrow and ending their lives. The beneficiaries of this order and writ
are Negroes convicted of participation in violent demonstrations in Arkan-
sas in 1919 and sentenced to death because loss of life resulted from the
clash between Negroes and whites.
These cases have been among the hardest fought in the long history
of roce conflicts in the south and southwest Investigation of the circum-
stances attending the riots which laid the foundation for trials and con-
victions led to the open claim never successfully contradicted that the
Negroes had been deliberately baited and were sentenced to death for the
"crime" of defending their lives and homes.
The origin of the affair is said to lie in a modification of the southern
p. image system so common In the cotton belt as attested by late murder
trials in other southern commonwealths. The Negroes were forced Into a
battle to break up a legal program to protect their economic Interests
from destruction. .Casualties resulted and the death sentence is one con-
sequence several other Negroes having been sent to prison for life.
A short time ago one of the faculty of a widely known and prominent
educational institution in Virginia was removed from his position because
he had written a letter to the governor of Arkansas requesting a complete

EYES AND THEIR DEFECTS.
By DR. F. S. ROGERS Optom-
etrist. When we use the term "defect"
we refer to abnormalities of struc-
ture and not disease of the eye.
There Is confusion in the minds of
some relative to these two widely
different conditions. There should
be none. Eye defects are treated
by means of lenses and prism exer-
cises. The four eye defects enum-
erated may and often do produce
many reflex symptoms which Beem to
indicate diseased conditions when in
reality they are simply reflex nerve
irritation from eye-strain. These
symptoms may take innumerable
forms such as headaches stomach
troubles indigestion dyspepsia or
neurasthenia or may cause more di-
rect irritation of the lids or other
membranes of the eye itself.
There are but four eye defects:
The Short Eye the Long Eye The
Unequal or Unsymmetrical Eye and
the Deviating Eye. When the eye
is too short from the front part to
the posterior or focal point on the
retina the defect Is called Hyper
metropla or Long Sight. When the
eyeball is too long we have Mopla
or Short Sight. With the Short
Eye you may have excellent long

was roughly used by two white high-
jacks Wednesday night of last week.
The high-jacks men employed Mr.
Dudley to drive them to Garther four
miles East of Okmulgee leaving this
city about 6:30 p. m.. On nearing
Garther he was forced to speed his
car to the limit two six-shooters
being drawn on him when he had
driven about 14 miles N. E. of the
city they commanded him to stop;
! whereupon he was robbed of a
watch a few dollars and otherwise
roughly treated. His car was taken
from him and his life was saved only
by a hair's breadth. By the aid
of a passer-by he was hurried to
Okmulgee where medical - aid was
given. The alarm spread soon two
car loads of Colored men were
deputised to assist in the hunt for

terms might convey to you. The
most trying eye defect is Astlgma a
condition in which all meridians of
the eve fail to focus at a given
point." The three defects mention-
ed are confined to the eyeball or
interior eye and have to do with
each eye separately. The fourth de-
fect is one that has to do with the
muscles outside the eyeball the ex-
trinsic muscles or lines which are
attached to the outer surface of the
eyeball and control the two eyes so
they may be brought to a focus and
see an object as one. When anything

cross so that we see with but one

great eye strain. There are twelve
of these little muscles or lines that
move the eye up and down in and
