NO DIFFERENT
The lynching which occurred in Florida this week is no
different from those of past jears, and is evidence that the
time has come when the fight for a federal anti-lynching bill
can be halted. The argument that lynching is a thing of the
past, and that officers of the law are becoming more diligent
in the performance of their duty, has been laid lovlj by the ac
tions of the sheriff into whose hands the Negro had been
placed.
It’s the same old story of the officer being overpowered,
and not being able to identify any of those who did it. It’s the
same old story of the sheriff cooperating with the lynchers so
they can perpetrate their crime without molestation of the law.

We Aaiericans register holy horror when we read of the
murder of women and children in the wfeir now going o» in
Europe. War is hell and whatever occurs in a war is expected
to have % hellish flavor. On the other hand we wink at fiend
ish acts iiere in America that are more dastardly than the most
hi^rtle£» soldier could commit off the battlefield.
Southern Congressmen who fight anti-lynching legislation
have but one purpose in view and that is to protect the right
of their constituents to lynch without fear of federal law en
forcement agents.
Florida will do nothing about this latest disgrace which has
come to the nation because Plorida officers of the law are
lynchers at heart themselves and are in accord with lynchinfr so
long as Jbhe victim is a Negro.
AID FOR THE NAACP
Recently Negroes in Durham raised more than $500.00 for
aid to Gr«it Britain, which was a commendable act on their
part. Certainly no one would object to giving aid to those in
war torn. Europe, regardless of race, creed or color. We think
that it sthows a measure of strength for Negroes, who know
the black and bloody history of Great Britain towards her Ne
gro and Indian subjects, to be able to forget about it long
enough to share their measly income with the Englishman,
However, ^e Carolina Times wonders if Durham Negroes
even thought of raising as much as $500 to contribute to the
Nationaf Aasociation for the Advancement of Colored ” People.
The NAACP sends out an appeal each year for funds to, con-
tinae its fi^^t against injustices which ar^ heaped on the Ne-
gto, but «ra find nowhere in the record where Durham Negroes
iMVtt aaOTverad that appeal in as tangible a manner as they did

BY QOBDON B. SAKOOCK
When th« herdes of Hitler ar
rived i^ Norway, they found
Qukling, a Kasi figurehead Avait^
ing to vckome Uiem- It is useless
to try to dwNirilM the ignominy
of a man i|d|d would turn his
eonntry ovsr to a Qitler. No com
mentary b Aeededj for posterity
will write the full record of such
treasons and traitors. Judas sold
his Master for 30 pieces of silver
but these Quislings would sell
their native land for a mess of
Hitler’s pottage.
The most pressing problem of
this country today is not its Ne
gro problem bat it ^Quisling pro
blem. For many decades this
country has been welcoming im
migrants from Europe and most
of these have deserved the op
portunity that they found in this
New World. But it is becoming
more and more evident that these
foreigners breed our Quislings
which afflict ui like the'plakifes
of Egypt. There is no use smooth
ing matters over, this Quisling
problem is getting seriousv These
strikes and hlaata and Lindbergh
meetings are getting serious.
There is something rotten a-
bout a situation where a crowd
must be admonished not to ‘boo’
the President; while it yells it
self hoarse for Lindbergh who
seems bent on doing his utmost
to hamper our defense program.
Some of us are becoming most
impatient at the w*y things are
going. If our Lindbergh® and
Quislings are going to run this
nation it is high time notice to
that effect is hereby given. If
Roosevelt is to ruii the nation,
then it is high time that our
Quislings %e put in their place and
that is behind the bars where they
cannot hamper us in our, death
.stru^le with Hitleriran.
Yesteryear there was a motto
thfl|; hung on the wall of many a
home which i?ead like this: “If*
you d(m’s know who is bo^ of
this house, start something!” Our
Quidinga headed by liadbergh
have “started something” in this
country; and we are banning
o want to know who is boss a-
bout here and when is the b5es
going to “stop something.” The
nation elected Roosevelt last fall
to tide our country oyer one of
its roughest places'. Aoosevelt has
told us on more than one occas
ion that the threat to our nation
al existence is the most serious in
our history. The signs of the
times point to an unparalleuea
crisis for manl^ind. Our ooun^ ii
called upon or will b« within a
short time to throw overboard a
national heritage of freedom and
democracy and liberty that onijr
recsntly were purahased with
sweat and tears and blood. For
on our fine heritage we are asked
to substitute a heartless Hitler
ism.
%
Our Quislinj^ with their de
featism are preaching noareaiat.
ance and ready acquies«ence. Our
Hitler stooges are ‘‘ready for the
question” of exchanging democ
racy for Hitlerism with its racial
persecutions and mass marden
and bloody pui^es and a heUish-
ness that cannot be described.
Lindbe]^ our hero and idol seeuMs
bent on making the long and Per
ilous leap from fame to ahame He
who was standing upon the wwlh
bout to crash into the depths of
topmost pedestal of fame is a-
shame. He is surrounded with a
group of what used to be hero-
worshippers but who are today
merely “she-ro worshippers.”
One of the debacles of democ
racy is when designing men can
abuse its larger privileges. There
is entirely too much anti Ameri
canism parading today under the
guise of democracy. If democracy
means giving comfort to the en
emy then I am for^urtaling de
mocracy. If democracy meiAis
letting men hold auti American
meetings designed to thwart our
defense program, then I am ready
to end that part of democracy.
Men like Wheeler and Liabei^h
and John Lewis have their rights
under democracy; but when those
rights are calculated to destroy
the morale of our nation, then it
is time to call a halt. A Quisling
by any other name is just as dan
gerous.
It Ms true that we do not need
to gtf'witch .hunting in our seal
for teue j^AnMrieanism, it ia equ
ally true that we do not need to
gtiek up our hand just because
Hitler and his Quislings hava the
gun on us. Some of us are about
decided to make him shoot. Let
Negroes wield their razors if they
will, let Negroes go on with their
higher incidence of crime and il
legitimacy, let them plead guilty
of having‘more syphilis If they
must. Bad as> these things ^re but
they are better a thousand times
than producing one Qui«iling
There is hope for a group that
does not bear Quisling!

Man is remembered more by his
failiffes than by his successes. He
is blessed more for what he does
not do, than he is praised for
what he does. The reason f^r
this is because failure or omifjp-
ion is more conspieious.
Life ig smiliar to a book. In
fact, fite^ Ledger has two ap
es. We may call one side the
Credit side, and the other the de
bit side. One must* be judged more
by hisi lost opportunities than by
his aecompli^ments. Why should
a -person be praised for the tilings
that he isi expected to do, and
should do much better than he
doesf Why shouldn’t he blam
ed for the opportunities he ignor
es!

is helped most not when he is
given something, but rather when
he maeters the way to make a
fortune, not when he is bequath
ed wirdom, but when he has the
ability to acquire wisdom, not
when he makes other recipients.
This is the thing that goes to
inake up life.
The material things in life may
be highly desdrable, but often
they are gross anj|^Qrdid. They
become an end in^self. They can
nurture and sustain a hungry
soul about as Veil as cream
can satisfy a hungry stomach. If
there a^ satisfaction at all,
it will last only a short while*
The material would not amount
to any^ing in this life, were it
not for the spiritual. A golden
cup can not gueneh one’s thirst.
Costly jewels can not Iwgthen
life. Money can not crej^te love
and riiercy, kindnesa and gentle
ness, patience and perseverence.
The best opportunitiaa are near
us. They are not remote. They are
in our homos^ our vocations, our
neighborhoods and in the depths
pf our individualities.- iMl Jttey
ask is that wa reach out and
pluck them and develop them.

Negroes in Ameriea jare eiti-
zens of the United Staips'-^ub-
ject to the same Cmstitution as
other citizens, entitled to the
same rtghts, and responsible for
the same obligations. That is the
law of the land, r^rdless of
how selfish and self interested
individuals may iasterpdcet it.
The existing status of Negroes
is onfe for both races to change.
The totalitarian states have solv
ed jt by relegating the Negro to
a state of lowest inferiority. They
believe in driving him all the way
dowp. Faulty though the appli-
catiop of democratic priociples
may be, unjust and unfair though
many of the restrictions and dis
criminations are, the trend of our
democracy is to raise the Negro
,to the* full stature of citizenship.
Consider the gains that have been
liiade over the years. Negroefe
^Ve gained their rights far more
rapidly "than the women of the
nation did theirs.
The larger responsibility for
the solution solution of the pro
blem lies with the majirity^~ but
what is needed is a common de
nominator by which both groups
can live in the same country and
respect the rights of both—hon
oring the individual ae a man.
