CLEVELAND CONVENTION SETS POOE EXAMPLE
ACCOUNTS of the National Baptist' convention, last week,
in Cleveland, Ohio, are disquieting. Press reports relate
that it was the very zenith of disorder and confusion—an
undisciplined, howling, > lling, gesticulating mob. impossible
to control, ignoring all rules of procedure, without, respect
f.ir leadership or conventionalities. It read more like the
account of a group of longshoremen on a binge.
But this was a church meeting. Fifteen thousand churcli
folk were there.
Significant are these extracts from accounts of the con-
vention: "... They listened tolerantly to the rousing gospel
singing, the special music, the departmental reports . .
"The old fashioned devotional services were scantily attended,
while the majority of the delegates swarmed in the halls and
ante-rooms, in caucus groups, reaffirming (political! alleg-
iances and outlining strategy." "Some of them did not
even come to the hall . . "Angry, shouting delegates,
their teeth clinched, and their arms wildly swinging, gathered
about the platform, and raised their voices to a babble so
deafening that business was suspended . . . Riotous as it
seemed, it was just a tune-up for the wild demonstrations
that marked the next day's sessions . . ." . . Screaming del-
egates rushed to the front and catapulted the convention into
a bedlam . . "The delegates remained a volcanic, undis-
ciplined group, subject to the wildest deir. nstration at the
least provocation ..."
The only thing, admittedly, that the convention was con-
cerned with, was the election of a president to succeed the
late Pr. L. K. "Williams.
Negro conventions have long been considered, by many.!
the essence of frivolity, their main purposes being establish-1
ing a medium to further exploit the gullible for the personal
aggrandizement of the select few in control of whatever
organization or group it happened to be, and for socializing,
"good-timing." intriguing, and grabbing whatever plums!
accrue for those in the driver's seat. Nonetheless, few con- j
ventions have made spectacles of themselves.
Regrettably, in Cleveland, "church folk." gentlemen ofi
the cloth, gave America one of its most boisterous meetings
of several decades.
Those in whom poise, dignity, calm deliberation, eulture, j
the ability to reason, to listen to the other side with a.
sympathetic ear, should be the reigning virtues, displayed]
amaning ill temper, actual, belligerency, intolerance, and self-
ishness. It is all most unfortunate, tor the howling mob, in
_ Cleveland, constituted, individually, key in many
•"ilHtaliPWi. fn tftei" respective communities—leaders, persons
respected, and looked up to, and who wield influence with
their particular groups, in their particular community.
.!• Hoi!? sm .*.t. tn bejtalm and he would he certain not to be
temperate, to consider problems coidiy,"ta'etuitf£'to*'retain" «
poise, when they seem incapable of setting the example?
Most important of all, how can they expect to exert any in-
fluence on the younger folk—who are more and more beintr
attracted away from the church—when they, as leaders, show
no virtues that today's worldly wise youth find worthy of
emulating and instead of commanding respect, they as
"leaders," are only contemnedT
The once considered witty old saw, "do as I say do, not
as I do," is not enough—surely, an example must be set.

JJK i.s dead. lie was .1
scholar, a great philoso-
pher, but not at nil suited to
practical life. He could not
manage an economic life; ho
needed a place where bis life
would he free of nil economic
exactions and where he could
think, talk aud write only
philosophy. His owu race
could give liim 110 such place
—and Yale and Harvard would
not. Yale and Harvard ad-
mitted him as a student to
their highest courses iu phi-
losophy and burdened him with
their Ph.D.'s, Then they were
through with him.
One great professor of phi-
losophy at Tale, in 1903, told
me that Ferris was one of the
best students he had ever
taught He said nothing about
taking Ferris on as an asso-
ciate professor, or even as an
instructor in the department
of philosophy.
And so Ferris wandered
abroad among his own people,
who had no niche for his
impractical genius. He tried
school teaching, and accident-
ally blew up a part of the
chemical laboratory equipment.
He wrote a book—"The Afri-
can Abroad '' — cumbersome,
full, scholarly, but not so at-
tractive to the hoi polloi. He
became an editor of Garvey's
"Negro World"; and wrote
editorials that were good, ex-
cept when they were dictated,
or too much influenced, l>y
Garvey.
Since that he had wandered
about trying to live in a world
for which he was ill-educnied
—because his own rnce had
no place that fitted his .genius
and preparation, and the white
race would not admit his
genius. He could not handle
money or manage his own per-
sonal economy. lie should
have liad a professorship that
would pay him so much per
nonth for his life—so thai h«

gulps it down. Hut we are

then, when the newspapers
headline the crime of a Negro

THE GREATER SLAVERY
SLAVFKY of the body of • man i a horror to the slave,
aud a degradation to the master. But there is a greater
slavery than this—the slavery of the mind.
It wai against this that Jefferson went on record when
he said, "I nm opposed to any tyranny over the minds
that the dictators hive plung-
ed not only the countries they
have conquered and possessed
by fair means or foul—but
even more so their own people,
yes, even the eblldrcn. Them
they hnve made slaves to a
false Ideology—one in direct
contrast to every religion the
world has eter known. Evea
the old Teutonic gods, whom,
these new barhnrlans worship,
would raise their linnds In hor-
ror at the works done In their
nntne.
It is to keep this type of
slavery from our shores for-
ever that we arc busily rearm-
ing, and against which we are
maisliallng all our forces—4
both military and civilian.
Lincoln said: "A nation can-
not endure half slave and half
free"—and the country groan-
ed in the travail of war for'1
four long years to establish

greater slavery, there is none

Aud It Is this form of slav-
ery which the totalitarian
conquerors of Kurope'g help-
less people have enforced on
millions.
It Is slavery of fear—fear
of each new act of aggression
of the dictators whose diseas-
ed inlnds make them exult in
the grovelling of serfs. It la
the slavery of eusplclon—suspi-
cion that makes a man lose
faith in humankind, even in
his nearest and dearest, lest
they turn against him to save
themselves.
It is the slavery of terror—
terror iest some new evil come
upon a man, terror lest he
lose all that he still has to
these overlords of unreason.
It is the Blavery of hatred-
hatred that warps and twists
the mind, turning it into dark
paths Into which no ray of
sunlight can ever enter.
That Is the greater slavery
.—for it is a poison that cor-
rodes and destroys the mind
of man, weakening not only
the man himself but the suc-
ceeding generation.
