CRIME IN DURHAM
Tkto la tbc iMoad «ditori*l we have written concerning crime
and the deliaqoency of Ne(ro'Sbys 4n{"ifrTi''lA’'ttae city'of
and the Carolina Times hopes the citkeos of Durham. wUl be
aroused after this is read to the extent that they will take steps to*
wards passing a law acaiast ehildreB under sixteen years of age
heteg in the streets after 9 o'clock at night.
The rioting which followed the Joe Loais-^&addock fight last
Tuesday night, a week ago, was participated in, for' the most part,^
by yvsantt^imn in their early teens. This could not tove been had
the city possessed a curfew law, and the Negro citizens of Dm^iam
woold have been saved a lot of emparrassment caused by a bunch
ot yoong hbo^ums who have 'toever learned to cegard the rightr of |
others.
The present term of Superior Court has been forced to hold six
mordtf trials in the past two weeks. All of the defendants tried
have been Negroes. Js this not enough to remind decent people in
this city that there is something wrong somewhere? So terrible has
the eonditien become tiiat it is a mkrrel if this city reaches Monday
. morning without one or two murders having been committed over
. the weekend.
•
'What is Durham to do about crime f You, Mr. Citizen,
wUk reading this, ought to ask yourself the question: ' What am I
goii^ to do about crime among Negroes in Durham? Ymi may sit
eoaiplBcesitly i«y ai^ think yourself safe within the walls of your
own hinae, bat «!ven they do not guarantee you and your loved ones
•IT*™"* the midnight wt>wler and murderer. Crime marche# on In
Durham, and tomorrow may carry th'e news that you or some one
dear to you has been killed by a fiend in human flesh.
The Carolina Times does not look for utopia. Somehow 'we
Americans have been taught to expect a certain amount of crime
within a ci^ the size of Durham, but we de feel that the high rate
of crime which Durham has could be cut in half U, law-abiding cit
izens can be aroused to the task of clearing this city of so many
criminals who lurk is certain streets and dives.
Durham can at least strike at embryonic criminals by passing a
law which would fonce children in-doont after a certain' hoar at
night. Durham can not aSord to pay the price it is paying for
criminals and crime. Durham must be made a safer and. better place
in which to Uve.
Mr. tra Lewis, mani^i^ editat

of my recent releases to the effect

^'^uery: whit&er, are we drifting
economically? Are we going ahead,
remaining Itatioon^, or drOting
backward? The issue which he
raises is of such serious signlfle
ance that I have decided to base
several releases upon it.

applicafole only to the sanctified
few who have withdrawn them
selves from the affairs of this

world to come. Someone has said
that you cannot eat the Constitu
tion; neither can we eat political
rights or the doctrine of equality;
but eat we must. In fact, we live
in an exacting ecoiMtmic age. The
prevailing philraophy ot our day
and generation is repressed in a
nutshell—^“Man ist yas man isst,’’
'Mian is what man eats. Our e«-

THE SCOn^BORO CASE
at reports firom the. state of Aktlwma say that outstanding
newspapers bf that state and other sources of influence are determ-;
taed to ptffect a compromise in the Scottsboro case before it comes
1^ for trial July 6. Unless we are sadly mistaken the only com-
pNOika the International Labor Defense will accept will be absolute
ior all, nine of the Scottsb»ro boys. ''
there are many white people in Alabama who arie tired
of tile disgrace which the Scottsboro case has brought their state and
~wottld like to have it over with as soon as possible. There are othtrs
who look at it from purely a financial standpoint,' and would like to
aave the Hate th^x pense of having^ aether trial of the case. Be
that as it may the Carolina Times votes agaiiwt ahy form ^f com-
promiae which will not give the. Scottsboro thefr a)»olute freedom.
If the nine Negro youths deserved the death penalty when they
were first taken from a freight train, and aceus^ of criminal assault
they deserve it now. Qq the other hand if they aie Innocent of the
'crime now they were innocmt of it then, and should not reSM^e pun
ishment in any di^ee^ About the only charge* that can be brought
against tiira is hoboing. Punii&ment for riding the freight train, will
have to be shared a by the two white girls and their white^ale com-
4^aaioa as well. The nine Negroes have already spient sijr years beo.
hind ^ism will need no further punishment' as far as we
can see.
The brterhational Labor Defense will t^e al], these and morej
facts under considerati$^ before it submits to a compromise. The
state of Alabama will find| if it has not alr«i^ done so, that t}ie
X. L. 1>. is a tough adversary with which to attempt to comftromise,
whan such means an injustice to those the organization has decided
to iifUad.
Loduag at' the situation fro« all angles the state of AlMwma Is
te a tot^fh spot. To continue tht case means more anfavonble pub-
.lieity for be^ people, solid to free the boys means as aa admittance

severe limitation. It is imposaiJNe
for any submerged minority to do
this. The Catholic in this country
cannot establish an independent
economy based on religion. The:
Jews never undertake to conduct
bosiaess for Jews only. Women,
who ” constitute half of our popu
lation, would fail utterly in at
tempting to establish a feminine
economy. It is only where the Ne
gro is completely segregated that
he msy hope to operate small es
tablishments for his own group.
E^en there, he is hopelessly‘'oi^
classed if the business world with
its |(reater resources and resoune-
fulness should enter into compati-
tion. kl*' j
To a limited extent only, the
Negro is permitted to combine or
eoJialpeUi i^th the ecosohiic iqrs-
tem; race prejudice forbids. The
effort, several years ago, to em
ploy colored el«rks and salesmen
in stotM 4peca(ed by JeWs in Ne>
gro districts in Chioago, has suc
ceeded to an encouraghiqr degrae;
but the N^r« nowhere has shown
the ability to "beat the Jews” in
.^atertag tQ hU «wa ttaedt
necessities. It ts only where .tha
white man's race prejudice- snd
pride do not permit him to con-
iduct Negro business that the Ne
gro makes any considemble head
way. The N^rro barber is the
most successful b^lness man in
the race.' l,t is becatlse the white
iMirber does not deign to compete
with him. Likewise TEe Kegro un
dertaker enjoys a large measure
of Inioceas for the same r^son;
but even in these lines the Negro
performs the manlpalatory end of
the business, equipment and sup
plies are furnished by white deal
ers.
Negro bosinesB almost always
is limited to sumptuary pursuits
such as catering to the appetite^
or decorating the person. He i^re-1
ly ever eag*ges in general busi
ness, such as dry goods, hardwaae,
furnishing and general supplies.

deal with mem'bers of his own race
only, he would have to return the

tion pictorialises the actual busi
ness backwardness of the race.
By reason of his lack^ of re
sources, and experience, he is,
wholly unable to compete with
Agtfregation of capital as requir
ed by the syndicated and the chain

ness is absoi4>ed by the associated
enterprises, the !il^o is eliminat
ed from the pro^sfd. A few de
cades ago any V«r»on with a few
hundred dollars could open a groc
ery store and make a living for
himself a^ family, but thi^'is no
loiter so, since the grocery busi
ness has become organized and
syndicated. The Negro’s only hope
is to induce the chain stores to
employ Negro clerks iii neighbor
hoods catering exclosirely to Ne-
iro customers.

The Message of Education
!*This piece of ^educational lit
erature isf^ini sent out,” Dr*
Branch said, “not only to outside
inquiries but is being distributed
throug.)}out ^iorth Carolina, in or
der to help make our people more
niouht health conecious and to
carry the teaching principle to
tbe^minds of those who are inter
ested in this very important sub
ject: In other words, the book, if
it meets the requirements intend
ed for it, in the' hours and days of
preparation that preceded its is
suance, will cairy an educational
message.

1 used to believe, and still hopej
to a degree, that the Negro w^l
find oppot^hity on the'farm as
self-propiietor, bat since the
farming industry has'become so
belittled and hardpressed, the Ne
gro's chances even in tlus field are |
rapidly dwindling. If the cotton
lacker should ever prove success-
fal, the Negro would be occluded
from the only occujMition in tise
South in wiiich he has an> indis
pensable idace.
I do not wish to paint the pic
ture more gloomy than the facts
jitttify, but there is no use to shut
our eyes to the ugly facte before,
us. The iKegro is essentially a
handworker and a day laborer, de
pendent more and more upon large
aggregation of capital and indus-
trial organization. * No immediate
hope of escape for this is seen as
long as race prejudice which has
beome a part of the mores of the |
Amerkan people operates. with
