“First in Service”
One of the besetting weights the Race carries is that many of
its leaders function only at times their service is not greatly need
ed. They seek dominant positions only to falter at the crucial
moment. They seek to carry honor during a recess of the vicissi
tudes of activities only to hide when the real battle is being waged.
Each passing the duty to the other. Each fearing the re-action of
a step made, even in the proper direction. Then when another
seeks to accomplish that what they fail to attempt there is a grand
scramble of leaders, in name only, to secure stellar positions.
For months we have been menaced by vice, of every conceiva
ble kind, nestled closely under the very windows of some of our
best homes. There has been open gambling, moonshine peddling
and woman trafficking before the eyes of those who will be the
parents of tomorrow. There has flourished, bountifully, such insti
tutions that are public liabilities, and civic nuisances without a
dissenting word from those most affected. The ministry has not
voiced against the flagrant violation of law and order. Our civic
associations have not functioned in an advantageous capacity to
better conditions. Then out of the stench of a ghetto come crim
inal activities that affect all citizens alike; and awe-stricken those
who have avoided the issue, seek to mitigate the flood of prejudice
in a day when months of silence on their part is the true cause.
There is no condition so deplorable as artificial strength. Such
strength as appeal's to be firm yet give way to the slightest resist
ance. Imagine a man, who seeks shelter from a storm, discovering
the house he thought was stone and took for his refuge, to be of
sand and crumble grain by grain before the onslaught of an ordi
nary tempest. This synonymous to a community whose estab
lished leaders are polished surfaces without and hollow spaces
within. How long shall it be until we can depend upon our clergy
to aid in correcting vices? When will our civic associations lay
down their petty fights as to who had certain lights put in and who
did not, and do the big things for community betterment that befit
their place in the life of vicinity? When shall we expect our in
dividual leaders to cast aside desire for supremacy of a personal
nature and accomplish something worth while? There cannot be
a better community until the clergy, first, the civic association and
the individual leaders wake up to the necessity of curbing evils.
When there is a laxity of building up and a prevalence of tearing
down those who are responsible for this condition are those whose
personal ambitions for praise have superseded their desires to
serve for a more beneficial purpose.
If there was ever a time when concerted action is needed be
tween leaders of churches as well as civic associations, to secure
better conditions under which children must live, it is at present.
We heartily recommend the cleaning out of all undesirables. There
is no place for the underworld character in the life of this city. It
is the duty of those vested with superior position to use their influ
ence in a way beneficial to humanity, especially under such excep
tional conditions as now exist, instead of being a bright and shin
ing light in the time of a calm but dimmed beyond recognition
when they should be of usefulness.
There is at least one judge in municipal court who believes in
fair play, regardless of color creed. In the fact of severe criticism,
Judge Finehout released six men who were held without charge in
connection with the solving of a murder. The only incriminating
evidence against these six men was that they were not working.
They were the last of thirty-seven men sent to court by the drag
net laid d»wn by the police department. They had not committed
crime, neither were they charged with crime, only every Negro
who could not prove he was working was picked up and sent to
headquarters.
We do not seek to shelter criminals in any form. We believe
that perpetrators of crime should not go unpunished, no matter
who they are. But we cannot concede to the correctness of keep
ing men in jail, indefinitely, without charge as was done until
Judge Finehout gave a just decision making them free men.
There are times when officials deem certain procedure neces
sary for the good of public safety. We are thoroughly conversant
of this fact, but when it resorts to pleasing individual sentiment
or appeasing certain factions, then it is necessary for a fair-minded
decision to be made.
We do not want preferential favors for those of our group who
violate the laws, made to protect civilization. When laws are brok
en the guilty must be punished if respect for law is to be had by
the constituents of a community. But we do not condone making
any man bear the brunt of powers higher up.
The six men Judge Finehout released were given their liberty
because no charge had been placed against them. That was the
sole reason. We need more fairness measured out to men, not as
a favor but as a matter of justice.

From an educational point of view as well as
