LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE

Dear Editor:
Well here we are again and in
the words Of the immortal poet l
would like to ask just where are
We?
I have read and heard great
deal about this and that and the
other thing and have come to the
conclusion that as . people we are
darn hard to please. A few years
ago it WAS the ambition OF every
body to reach . time when they
wouldn't have to work. Now we
have it and everybody is kicking
worse than ever. Then everybody
reared around because everything
was too high in price. Wages were
too high, raw material WAS too
high, gasoline and ears were too
high. in faet living was too high.
Well, . few Of % wise ones got
together and 1emedied shat and
still everybody kicks. And snoth-
er thing would ike to ask you.
Where il al the money We are
supposed TO have saved by hay
ing things cheap. was going to
save fifteen hundred dollars this
year by not buying new car. But

If you go to Sunday school

ands of dollars she was supposed to
have saved? Then we hear much
about lack Of work for those who
want a job.

torials you advise everyone who
has : few sheckles loaded away 10
empty the old sock and begin to
spend at once to try to stem the
tide OF reverses. In another part
Of your paper you point to the
fact that there are over thirty dcs-
titute families in town. No doubt
most Of them followed that kind
of advice last year.
But to the people who are for
tunate enough to have something
saved up, remember that it takes
a lot Of nickles and quarters to

which the present administration
has dug for US. One thing ! like
about it though, some wise guy

then he arrives at a time when he
has all the ambition and none of
the sense of mature man and he
spends about ten years ranting
around trying to wreck the world
and ruin his own health. After a
while he settles down to raise a
family and make a fortune which
takes all the best years Of his life
until he is too old to enjoy either.
So there is nothing left for him to
do but lay around awhile and die
to get out of the way. But just
suppose a man could come into the
world at eighty years of age. He
could hobble around for the first
ten or twenty years and nobody
would care much what became of
him. Then when he was about six
ty he could start his education. He
would learn fast because he could
keep his mind on his studies in
stead Of jazzing around raising
cane. Then from fifty to thirty
making his money and have his
youth, his strength and his enthus-
iasm to enjoy it. Then come to his
childhood and die as q baby.
You think this might be differ
ent and difficult to arrange but
no harder then what we are try
ing to do now, with the material
we have to work with. You will
have to admit we have made a
muddle Of things the way we are.
And furthermore, who would care
for this depression or any other
if everyone was getting q day
younger every day instead of old
er as lots Of us are.
Well come and see as sometime.
Yours as ever,

CAN HOOVER n ROOSEVELT EVADE NEGRO
ASKS WORL TOMORROW EDITORIAL

New York, Oct. 14-Under the title "Can They
Evade The Issue, the October IL World Tomorrow edi-
torially commends the QUESTIONABLE submitted to the
presidential candidates of the two leading political parties
by the National Association for the Advancement Of Col
ored People.
The questions are Of great interest to all those who
have been working for bettered race relations says the
editorial and goes on to call them pointed, but cruelty
guided shafts aimed directly at the gross hypocrisy Of old
party pretensions about race relations. To answer them
affirmatively would mean, as the N A. A. G. P. doubtless
knows, the complete reversal of Republican and Demo-
cratic practices for years.
N Democratic OF Republican candidate for Pres
ident could satisfy the Negro on these queries without at
once breaking up his party and revealing it for the sham
it il AS a journal which, year in and year out, has
urged social and civic equality between the races, and
which has eagerly hoped for a stouter m%ilitancy among
Negroes themselves in just such ways as that employed
by the n. "A. A. c. P. this fall, we congratulate the organ
ization on this forth-right stroke. 1t will bring clarity
out of confusion 0 nthe part of all save those professional
hNers in the old-party machines, whose confusion will, we
trust. be further demonstrated"
The questions were designed to draw out a complete
statement of the candidates attitude on all phases of race
relations, including the affairs Of Haiti and Liberia.
