Paragraphics Current News and Opinion (By X. Mabie Wright) A King Comes to Study Us. "George," "Charlie," "Boy." Children Want Action Stories. A Governor's Tender Heart. A Prophecy. By 1960 legislators will not go to the state and national capitals to legislate. They will stay at home and hear bills read, and debated, take part in the debates, hear motions made, vote, and hear the presiding officer's decision, and do committee work, all by radio. Inventions change men, customs, and history. King Nana Amoah of Gold Coast, West Africa, is in this country to study the Negroes. He is welcome. But it might be profitable to send a commission of American Negroes to the Gold Coast to study King Amoah's people. There is something we need from [illegible]where. The progressive Pennsylvania road is going to place on the dining car tables cards bearing the names of the waiters so the diners will know their waiters' names. For all porters are not "Georges." One thing suggests another. Hot dog! We might wear on our lapels cards with our names on them so that uniformed, but well meaning clerks in our stores and groceries will not call us "Charlie." And again, we might p[illegible]c our ages under the names, so they will not call us "Boy." [illegible] [embarrassing?] for a man 53 with [illegible]e and five children to be called [illegible]," even if he is an unbleached [illegible]erican. Children, they say, are passing up [illegible]e good old stories of Hans Christian Anderson and the Grimms - the fairy tales which have entertained children for centuries. The present day child wants adventure and action. No wonder. It is in his blood. And all around him, all the time, those very things are going on which whet his appetite for action, key up his nerves for excitement, fire his passion for adventure. The modern child is not a freak; he is the product of his environment. Governor Blaine of Wisconsin gets in the limelight. But he scarcely deserves to. He urges President Coolidge to refuse to treat with France about the funding of France's debt to the United States until the French mend their conduct in Morocco by ceasing to outrage the Riffs. Very humane is the Governor. He looks afar and his heart is touched. O that he would look around him and remember that compassion as well as charity begins at home. Monsieur Calliaux might retort to Governor Blaine: In that case, sir, France refuses to treat with your country until it stops its unspeakable outrages upon its black citizens. And - people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
400 NEGROES AT DEMOCRATIC MEETING Ten years ago you wouldn't have believed it. 'Tis a fact in this day of Our Lord 1925, however; that is if what is reported by several of those whose word we have no reason to doubt, is true. The local Democratic organization held its first big meeting of the present campaign for the election of a mayor and city officials is November, at the Armory last Saturday night, and it is said that every seat in the big Armory was taken by interested Democrats and others who feel that a change would do good for the next four years or some other cause, including black faces to the tune of 400 or thereabouts. Start ten years (Continued on page 8)
LEADING ATTORNEY AND BANKER SPEAKS FOR REPUBLICANS - TELLS WHY WILL SHOULD BE NEXT MAYOR (By W. H. Wright.) "Every four years it is a question to be discussed among our people in reference to the political situation, and with the further idea to choose from among the citizens of our city, the person who is to be the head of our city government. This question not only affects the rich, the poor, but all classes of people who happen to be citizens of our community. It is a question which must be decided by opinion augmented by the vote of the people. This should be so because the government of all municipalities is based upon the fundamental principles as enunciated by the federal government. The ruling power of the community or of a city or state or nation, lodges in the people. As has been said before, "The voice of the people is the law of the land." We are looking for men who are sane, honest, and courageous-- men who have done something to merit the support of the people-- men who have stood out prominently in the civil and political affairs of the community-- not politicians but men of measure, men of thought and men of ideas.
"We know of no man better fitted to head the city government with the ideals enumerated than Arthur Will, the man who has done more for western Louisville, and especially Portland, than any other man living. It has been a part of his life to see to it that homes are bought and paid for just the same as a man would pay his rent and yet it was his home. It does not matter how small a man's home may be but it is his castle. It is an American ideal for every man to own his home and he can sing to himself, "Home Sweet Home." Among our people (Continued on page 8)
