young Negro i* kept in Jail the greater will become his fame. In

high school, he will be knowm . throughout America a.i a great

ROOSEVELT THE HOPE OF
mankind in AMERICA
OUR STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Our attention haa been called to the high Seath rate among
Nepro infants by an address delivered recently by Dr. Walter
Hughes of the North Carolina State Board Health. Dr. Hughes,
who haa been of untold service to his race and state .in helping to
brteg^ibeai^ better^^eal^ among Negroea, in the address'had the
ioUowing to say in part:
The poverty of the Negro mother it a health
. hazard not only to her but to her unborn in-
tMflt. She if. forced to work until the Very hour
iftz; '.?* oi her confinement. Quite frequently she
must leave her bed within a week after con-
finement to gain the^are necessities of life,
isw ^ The«e mothers, undernourished; poorly;
. housed; overworked; inadequate paid and
somei!mes’”'m £he throes of twberculosi«,
^ nephritis; heart diease or syphilis, go on
(bringing more 'babies into the world to "be
brought up undernourished, pale and anemic
and with a fair chance.
Here it appean in the root of much of the evil of crime, disease
and insanity among K^^roes. The condition i!Sciosed iby Doctor
Hugher presents vividly a sad picture which* should sum
mons every agency within the race'‘ that operates for its en'.ight>
Thia world famous noveliat,
statesman aad social philoxop-
her, states **'fhat the hope of
mankind rests in the United
Siatea with Roosevelt.’ This is
the greatest encomium that ha*
yet be«B teatowed upod t h u
author the New Deal, Those
who, appreciate - the*^ political
genius of Franklin O. Roose
velt are apt to extol the doc
trine which^ he has relea^-vt^ to
the world into a politics), social

seems destined te go down
through the age* as the found
er of n new school of political,
economic and social thought.
He will be known to history as
a law giver along with the great
social thinkera of all time. The
New Deal is n&t merely a poli
tical contrivance to trap t b ^
wary voters in the next electibn
but a social gospel for the re
generation of »a upset and be
deviled wofld. The philosophy
of the New Deal reaches down
to the very rock of our
aouial j'tructurt. It is more
fundamental though liea revolu
tionary that the world shakihg
movements' headed by Hitler,
Mussolini «nd Stalio.
It Is univer^aliy conceited
that the economic induitrial
and political methoda of the
horse and buggy> age, . • Jike all

'The pulpit, the pre^ and the public platform ought to wage in
incersant war against this condition that is destroying the health
and welfare of the race.
Dr. Hughes' address was directed mainly at the high intent
mortality among Negroes; but we are wondering jufrwbat kind of
a grown-up intfaan being the offspring of such a mother, as de
scribed by Dr. Hughes is going to make. As serious as the death
of the infant of such a mother is, it is not half as lietlouK as the (
diseased or half idiot that lives and is turned loose on society. |
There ought to i»e-a 4*w governing the health and care of exr 4
pectant mothers and't^at law ought to be rigidly enforced, even
if it ti^ces secialized medicine to do it. We do qot believe that
the cost of proper care for all expectant mothers, white and
black, will be half aa much as the cost of crime and takings care of
the inssne. Whether it ia or not we believe it to be much safer.
