William III. Drcwery's Letter
from Chicago-Land
BLAST NUMBER -FOUR


the following, excerpt, from
Herbert Agar quote
Jefferson, said h Il he
"trembled for his country" be
cause of it's failure to deal with
slavery" A patfot can still
find cause for trembling today,
because of our failure to deal
with the Negro problem in terms
of modern effort to make demo
crazy real.
of late years, the world has
seen something of the alterna-
tive of depgpcracy. What we
have seen has made us more
anxious to build a true demo
cracy at home. But the effort
continually comes face to face
with the Negro problem, and is
continually thwarted.
I'VE have promised to make
the Negro an American citizen,
10 give him such rights and pri-
OF justice as we are able to
secure for ourselves. But we
have not kept that promise.
And the broken word forever
rises against us, defeating our
efforts to improve the quality
of American life
mo one who has studied the
question, can pretend there is
an easy or quick answer But
there will never be an answer at
all unless we force ourselves TO
face the question steady. One
of the best ways Of holding our
selves 10 this hard task is by
noticing how often our country
suffers from the failure to cX-
tend justice to the negro
Years ago Booker r. Wash
ington remarked, There is no
way for the white man to keep
the Negro in the ditch without
staying there with him The
statement III not exaggerated,
but its essential truth is illusua-
ted day by day IN Washington.
That presentation against
the government, to fair minded
men, is a close up case against
the administrative government
at Washington. All Of those
years, the leaders Of he race
have made the mistake Of not
carrying their case direct to the
federal government. instead Of
p9ealEhg it out to tha several
states.
While there is trouble al around
US, the Negroes trouble today,
while here, there, in the air, and
everywhere. it's not 50 much in

Yowler was getting discouraged.
It seemed as if his luck must change,

When Yowler the Bob-cat had
found out all he thought he needed
to know about the habits of the
Gobbler family he made his plans
to catch one or more. Now Yowl-
er's way of hunting is not like the
way Of Old Man Coyote or of Reddy
Fox. They hunt fairly, depending
on ears, eyes, nose and wits to catch
their prey. Those they hunt have
some chance If they are smart. But
Yowler is q sneak. much like his
cousins, Tufty the Lynx and Puma
the Panther. He lies In wait, which
Is the meanest kind Of hunting.

way the leaves had been scratched

the Gobblers had been the morning
before.

thought he as he hid, and he licked
his chops hungrily. But it seemed

over the Gobblers, for on this par

for an unsuspecting victim to come
along.
Having found out the favorite
feeding grounds of the Gobblers,
he planned to hide close to one
of them and then spring out and
catch the first Gobbler who came
within reach. So, just before the
break of day, he hid close to one
