Depression Robbed
Men Of SeIf-Respect"
cLEVELANDER SAYS u. S.
is SPIRITUALLY SICK"

Restore mans justification Of
himself and much will have been
done to bring the country out Of the
depression, Whiting Williams,
Cleveland, author, lecturer and So
cial worker, told members Of the
Cincinnati Chamber Of Commerce
Forum Wednesday noon in Hotel
Sinton.
Williams, who in the course Of
his social work has lived and worked
with all classes Of people, declared
that one of the main troubles of the
present day was the loss Of self
respect that goes along with the
holding OF a Job.
All classes of workers, he declared,
like to believe that without them
the industrial machine would not go
on. This, he said, is now missing,
and the loss of jobs has made men
morally and spiritually sick. The
remedy, he declared, is more first
class full-time jobs and less pana-
ceas.

The Nations Capital has been
getting a taste Of what labor troubles
and a strike really mean. As these
words are written long lines Of men
and women piekets march slowly TO
and fro in front Of the entrances of
Washington's hotels. For more than
week their ceaseless marching has
continued and despite the prediction
of an early peace, no settlement now
seems in sight. As a result many Of
the Nations lawmakers have been
embarrassed by being compelled to
cross the picket lines each night and
morning Some Of the legislators
have moved from the picketed ho-
tells, but many others, who have
leases on their hotel Accommodations,
are facing the music, in spite of
the more OF less yelled threats Of
future political retaliation Numer-
GUS dinners, banquets, and other
functions, including the meeting of
the Ohio Society, have been cancel
led or indefinitely postponed be-
cause of the strike.
All Of which brings up the ques-
ton as to how far Congress will &C

WiIberforce University
Should Not Be Divided

Friends of Wilberforce Uni
yersity regret the controversy
now going on between the
state and the president, Dr. =.
Ormonde Walker. The state
administration is accusing the
President Of being too active
in politics. Whilst Or. Walker
claims he followed the prece-
dent set BY other heads OF the
school.
a ripper billo has been
proposed TO remove Or. w ak
er from the 6. N. and |. boafa.
We doubt the wisdom OF this
procedure. While Republican
leaders are pushing the ripper
legislation, a few shreWd
Democrats are demanding the
dismissal Of not only Df.
Walker, but also Bishop Ran
som from the parole board. II
seems to us there are untoWard
motives behind these attacks.
No doubt President Walker
erred ii campaigning last TALL.
However, he could be reprl-
manded without destroying
the unity existing between the
church and state sides OF the
school. 1t took years Of care,
ful planning by consecrated
leaders to bring Wilberfofce
up to its present relationship
with the state. 10 undo this
work merely TO punish Dr
Walker is unWise and will re-
tard the progress Of the uni
yersity.
If u new board IS appointed
for WiIberforce G. N. and /
department, it should be COM
posed Of the best persons
available. And DR.. Walker
should be amenable to this
board without prejudice OF
account of his political views
However the board should for
bid any school official to par
ticipate in political campaigns
