allow two cunning, cheap, hungry
men~two birds of a feather, the
opportunity ~to pull the wool ove1
our eyes and make us swallow such
a rotten dose of petty politics.

Just two tittle Negro men, an
ie
about his following while the other
did some other trick to gain favor
with the candidate for Mayor. The
whole populace was ignored as to
its choice. What they did is the
kind of doings which most people
think politics is. Well, if it isn~t
that, what is it?

We do not want any politics, then.
But what we do want, and need is
statesmanship in civic affairs here.
We will get this statesmanship when,
and only when, we see to it that
our chosen men get into office
whether they be elected or whether
they be appointed. ~

How would you like to go down
tewn to buy a fine suit of
clothes but when you go to pick
out the suit you want, the clerk
would put a suit of over-alls in your
hand and tell you ~to take it o1
leave it?

Well, that is just what Mayor
Kelley: has done in appointing one
of your supervisors last April. But
we are not blaming the Mayor half
as much as we are _ those~ two
~Smarties~who think nobody can see
what they are doing when they
stop in down town at, now the
Courthouse and then the-City Hall,
to tell some gullible white men how
much power they hold among
their people and that whatever
was done for them would get votes,
etcetra. Then, after these _Esaus
(for Esau is what they are), selling
their, people~s birthright for the
either a little position for themselves or a paltry sum of money) gets
back to their people and finds one
among them who might know what
they have dore and who probably
will let the ~cat out of the wallet~,
these Esaus will debase and harrange him. We do not want those
kind of people in office not at the
~ of any organization of any
sort.

It is time you people should hear
and see, you have ears and eyes!
Don~t be sentimental or humorous
about it, be intelligent and manly.
a a stop to all of it, for all

We know all about the deal which
these two ~Smarties~? made between
themselves | as recompense for
one~s aid to the other. The one
was to use his little political connection with th white folks he
knows and, added to that, certain
other considerations to repay his
partner; while the other was to

throw as much of a certain kind of
business his partner~s way. The

~

business belongs to a close relative. This condition makes it easy
for the two fellows to hide their
hands, but somebody saw one. of
these fellows will not stick to a
friend, like Hitler, when there is
necessity for personal gain, the
friend go hang. He has done this
first to one and then to two other
business men and now he has
his third chance to double cross.

Warning, Folks!

There are two ~prominent~ (not
high standing) men in Flint carrying on what may be called subversive activities among-us. This
does not have to do with patriotism for country, but it is found
that these men are working together to build up for themselves

Tales Of Heroism

Follow Disaster

By ERNEST {0HNSON
NEW YORK~(ANP)~The bodies of 16 Negro longshoremen have been idéntified and eight others were still
missing Friday following the $2,000,000*fire that whipped
across Pier 27, East river, and changed the New York and

| Cuba Mail line steamer Panuco into a burning masg of

tangled plates and charred embers last Monday afternoon.
Various governmental agencies immediately plunged in
| to the separate inquiries to determine the cause and place
responsibility for the record devastation that in the space of |

10 minutes transformed the entire waterfront south of the
Brooklyn bridge into a blackout area bristling with death
end destruction traveling on a roller coaster.

For days now the river has been
giving up bodies, and others, charred~ beyond recognition, many
ékeletons have been removed from
the hulk of the Panuco which had
been towed down to the Gowanus
Flats there to burn out.

The harrowing experiences of
may of the members of Local 968,
International Longshoremen~s as

to unloading the death ship, will
live long in their memories for escape in any way was a difficult
thing so rapidly did the flames
