things are normal In this country. If
we should read for instance, that tur-
keys would be lower this year or even
the same price as last, we would feel
that some sort Of disaster were i'm
pending. Since we were a small lad,
we have read every year that turkeys
would be higher, and we have held
our breath until. we have found the re-
port. In good times and bad, in war
and in peace, in sickness and in health,
turkeys have been reported higher
every year. and it has been one con-
dition that we could always depend
upon absolutely beyond the slightest
peradventure of doubt. Other things
may flop this way and that, but tur.
keys-never. Every year we swear
that we will not buy turkey, and
every year we buy one. 1t is about
the only thing that we have done con,
sistently in our life. We have been
a bit worried about things lately, but
now we are content, for we know all
is right with the world. Turkeys will
be higher this year.

THE FORUM

10 Editor Oh Inc railaQiuIn.
The Democratic party during the
recent campaign lost a great oppor-
tunity. Instead of making c'ea1
fight for the principles upon which it
was founded and enunciated by Inom-
as Jefferson, it resorted to. the most
despicable methods ever waged in an
American campaign. The injection of
the race issue in an endeavor to create
race strife and antagonism, was
enough to call forth the severest con-
demnation on the part of it's former
leaders, and met with and merited the
Just condemnation of the American
people.
After fifty years Of the most remark
able progress of any race in the world,
the Negro, the true patriot. the de-
fender of the flag, is still made the
Sport of the gods" as the immortal
Dunbar SO appropriately wrote.
Can the American people, in the face
of such abuse as the Negro was made
to suffer In the recent campaign, ex-
pect him to remain loyal to the flag
and shed his blood upon the battle
fields as thousands did in the recent
worlds war?
1t must be understood that every
self-respecting Negro feels proud of
the blood flowing through his veins;
proud Of his races achievements in the
past, and future possibilities. A race
that can produce a Toussaint Lover
ture, Frederick Douglass, a Booker
Washington, a Dunbar, in a little more
than so years or more freedom, ought
to be proud Of its blood.
The success and achievements of a
race are to be measured by the oppor-
tunities it has for development.
Hannibal. the Carthaginian possess
ed Negro blood; France is proud OF
the name Dumas, who possessed Ne
gro blood; Pushkin, the Russian poet,
by Peter the Great considered it an
honor to possess Negro blood and is
revered by the patriotic Russian; but
America, "the land of the free and
home of the brave" the country which
boasts of it's Christianity and of its
Constittion, judging by recent events,
would have the world believe that the
possession of Negro blood was a men
ace to civilization.

the strongest arguments against the
Christian religion on the part of the
followers of CONTIGUOUS and Buddha
we're that it was not practical.
| Is it true that the Negro, ever loyal.

dice? Has he not more than won his

Getting Acquainted With Earlham College

Getting Acquainted With Ear1ham College
The favorable attention of many citizens was
called to the advantages of having an educational
institution in our midst by the endowment cam
paign which was waged for Earlham college.
All of us knew before the drive was made
that Earlham college was located in West Rich
mond, that it had splendid faculty and large
enrolment We also read from time to time
about activities of the college life, but few of
showed any deep interest in any of them. We
believed that college life was something apart
from our own life and affairs, and permitted
the collegians and their faculty to go their way,
while we attended to our own affairs on this side
of the river.
During the campaign and since it's close a
new appreciation of Earlham has been develop
ing everywhere in Richmond. We are beginning
to accept Earlham part of our own commun-
ity life, and are entering into its affairs with
new spirit of understanding and cooperation.
We are beginning to believe that if Earlham en-
ters into civic affairs, which it has done for
many years, we owe reciprocal duty of partici-
pating in it's college life.
The Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, as organiza-
tions, pointing the way which many of us, as
individuals, should follow. The two clubs will
attend the play which the Day Students will
present on Nov. %. Sections of the auditorium
will be reserved for them. The idea of having
two big bodies of Richmond men attend an Earl
ham affair in a body must be great sur.
prise to the college authorities as it is to most
of us. One cannot remember when this has hap
pened before in the whole history of the institu-
ton.
But, irrespective of it's novely, the step which
the two clubs are taking should link the college
and the city closer. It should lead both to see
that there is field of mutual service which both
can cultivate to advantage.

The Red Cross Drive for Members

The fourth roll call of the Wayne county
chapter of the American Red Gross Society will
be conducted in three days-Ncv ~ to rs. In
this time the leaders of the campaign hope to
enroll again the members who have stood Loyalty
by the organization since it was founded here.
The Red Cross is performing great work in
the devastated regions of Europe especially in
the impoverished countries of the east, where
cold and hunger are taking frghtful toll of
human lives.
Extension of the home service work, main
tenance of disaster relief service, and develop
rnent of the public health nursing service are
some of the tasks which it faces in the United
States.
Increased calls will be made on the Red Cross
for home service relief as needs arise among
former service men and in their families In this
field alone the Red Cross will find abundant OPP
lportunty for the exercise of it's beneficent work.
Appeals for aid in the families of former service
men in Wayne county have already been-referred
to the local chapter.
The attention of the public is emphatically
called to the legitimate claims which the former
service men have on relief agencies. Neaghbors
who know of the plight of former soldier, sailor
or marine should report it promptly to the Red
Cross or to the officers Of the Harry Ray post
Many fighter does not like to appeal for aid,

devstand that he is not accepting charity, but
only receiving return for a service rendered

Good Evening
BY Roy K. MouIton

We are inclined to take considerable
umbrage at the remark of our steamed
contemporary, the fat prophet Don
Marquis, to the effect that we have
to get into our private office with a
shoehorn
AS a matter of fact, we have a very
wonderful private office. The only
room we can compare it with offhand
is the main reading room of the Con-
gressional Library at Washington.

He has earned more than we can

nations peril He has earned more than we can
ever pay him for.
The Red Cross is an agency that ministers to
the needy and through it's home service is able
to take of cases that under its jurisdic-
ton. In the fulfillment Of this duty alone to
former service men it will amply justify its ex-
istence and it's claim to the membership of many
citizens.
