F. d. R. POPULARITY WANING
MAILMAN

If, despite such obstacles, Mr..
Roosevelt really does feel the
heartbeat of the country this fall,
he is in for the surprise of his life.
In the first place he will find out
that he is not nearly as popular as
he was a year or two ago. Second
ly, he will learn that the country,
generally speaking, is souring ON
the New Deal. Mr.. Roosevelt will
be surprised because his actions in
recent weeks indicate an assump-
ton or pretense that the country
is as strong for him as it was in
1886.
We say this with some confidence
because, adopting Mr.. Roosevelt's
rule, the writer has made a trip
across the country-not in a spe-
cial train not guarded by Secret
Service men, but rubbing shoulders
with all types of people in some
dozen States out to the Pacific
Coast and back.
We have avoided the viewpoints
of the people who ride in the Pull

SUPPORT PARTY THAT GIVES
OPPORTUNITY

The time has come for the race
to support whichever party gives
them the better opportunity to be-
come integrated into all phases of
the federal government, is the con-
viction of Negroes in all walks of
life. Therefore, if the New Deal
ers continue to ignore the demands
of the race in this respect, they
may soon see the Negro voters for
saking them for their first love, the
Republicans. For the Negroes
have made up their mind to support
whichever party gives them the
better break. And that does not
mean a few ''front" jobs to appease
the race.-N. Y. Amsterdam News.
"The fact that Mr.. Hoover is
lending support to the Dewey can
didacy and that Republicans in
various states are seriously dis
cussing him as the Republican
party's standard bearer in 1910 is
a pretty good indication of the
paucity of Presidential timber in
that party. If he should continue
to grow in political stature, Dewey
would be far better qualified 10
years from now than he is today"

'Mr. Taft has spoken. One-term
Vandenberg has spoken. The stu

House. The lover of old customs

worshippers will renew their quad
rennial solicitations and try to en-

Ever read the announcement at
the top of this column? No,
thought not. Well, it's the editors
protection. Put at the top of this
page not for his own satisfaction,
not as a warning for this CORE
spondent, but to satisfy those
fault-finding critics who just love
to put the paper on the defensive.
So, your correspondent is told to
watch his step!
But there come times when this
correspondent doesn't feel like
watching his step. Times when he
feels like expressing himself with
out regard for the warning.
Hoping to escape the eagle eye
of the Boss man, then, here goes.
l have been asked quite often
why our paper carries so few Min
neapolis church notices. No one
knows better than the ministers
responsible. No one knows better
than the minister who is leading
the rest of the brethren like dumb
cattle, that it is just a matter OF
small spite work.
This paper carried those an
nouncements for three and one
half years without a cent of
charge. 1t was done just as a
matter of help to those churches.
When increasing business costs
made necessary a small charge
was assessed against those
churches and the minister referred
to above tore himself to pieces in
resentment and refused the small
cooperation we asked. He led his
docile brethren with their church
notices elsewhere, but to no avail.
Today his church organization is
struggling desperately for its ex-
istence. Once among the leaders it
is today among the least effective
of the followers. Its very existence
is dependent upon the good will of
its creditors, who fortunately are
among the church leaders Of white
people who have hesitated to exer-
else their rights and close its doors.
In the meantime one of the
other churches has stepped into the
lead. Refusing longer to be guild
ed by one foredoomed to failure it
has accepted the reasonable
charges we have asked and has
been repaid a hundred fold. It's
pews are always filled and it has
clearly stepped into the indisputa-
bic lead. 1t is helping to keep its
local press up to standard and is
coming to the front by leaps and
bounds as the congregation to
which every visitor to the city
goes.
This is what we have wanted 50

much to do for all our churches,
what the paper would have liked
to do for the church which is slid
ing down hill.
We are convinced, however, it
cannot and will not be done in this
church under its present leader
ship.
Many of its effective members
are beginning to see this quite
clearly but this pastor does not.
He is resolved to rule or ruin. He
seems TO be in a fair way to ruin.
Many of the church men and
women of other churches have
awakened to the need of a real CO.
operation in every community en-
deavor. It is quite too bad that
some of the men and women of the
church under consideration have
not yet realized this.
To follow and support a pastor
is a fine and necessary thing. But
not when he is so evidently wrong.
This writer realizes that the fu-
ture welfare of its people is tied
up with the success of the efforts
of the men and women in the
churches.
If they fail all of US stand to
lose.

Should War Be
Heartening?

That is the reason it should be
heartening to any black or brown
or red or yellow to observe the in
corrigibihty of Italy and Germany
and Russia, even Ireland. I don't
suppose those countries are incor-
rigible at all. They've just been
playing the game according to
their lights and have gone out of
hand. At any rate our (this white)
world is full of a dark distrust
which is expected momentarily to
explode in war and start the whites
to killing one another off. Worse
things could happen. For exam
pie, l think it's a happier circum-
stance to have the whites to ar
range formal hostilities and to
NOW one another down than it is
to have them quietly murder hun
dreds of thousands of Africans,
East Indians and Chinese, if the
Japanese would let them. There's
no question, when war comes, that
the Senegalese and the Zulu will be
called upon to protect their ex-
ploiters, but therell even be some
compensation there: the knowledge
that when the fighting's all over,
thereTl be fewer exploiters. Maybe
some bargains can be struck while
the fighting is going on.-P. L.
Prattis in the Pittsburgh Courier.

Poetic Thoughts
BY MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.
Odds and Ends

Years ago parents always saved
Garments and trnkets which in the attic stayed
Use for the future, rainy day,
Was the argument used, turned yellow and gray
Remember when the family would move?
Mother hauled more junk, but still couldn't prove
When some of it was going to be used,
Maybe sentimental reason helped her to be excused
We all have odds and ends
Whether clothes food and so it depends
Upon you to just what
Remnants kept disposed of without any excuse
It's a good housewife who manage, ,
To successfully use left-overs to advantage
The saving is profitable and the economic gain
Makes ordinary dishes not appear SO plain.
Make use Of your odds and ends,
Use them fully for you can't what always portends
To be of immediate use to you
Since success is measured in the good you do
You may think your life is all odds and ends
But the way you use it all depends
Entirely your foresight and initiative,
How you use what's at hand helps you live.

Somerset Plans Shape
Women's Club Informally Active
Through Summer Season

The Women's Club of Somerset,
Md, fondly known in the COM
munity as "the big little club" re-
fuses to completely disband during
the summer, and though its new
season will not officially open until
October 9 plans already are well
advanced for the next years work.
During the vacation months no
formal sessions are held, but so
many members of the club find their
shaded lawns and comfortable
breezes too pleasant to leave at
this time of the year that groups
frequently gather Informally to dis
cuss plans for future programs.
The new president, Mrs. Paul B.
Dunbar, will not preside officially,
however until the october meeting.
Mrs. Dunbar succeeds Mrs. Louis
Abbot. whose service of two years
was marked by many successful
achievements. among them the fur
therance of the Book Club Section.
Every year current works of both
fiction and non-hction are pur-
chased out of club funds. to be cir
culated among the members. At the
beginning of each new season mem
bers draw straws for the volumes,
and the holders of the lucky num-
bers receive the books for their
own libraries. Then, of course, a new
order for books is made.
Though the Book Club Section
is primarily for the enjoyment of
the members, most of the activities
of the club are in the interest of
others, for the club was founded
with the objective of service to
others" The result has been that,
while many of its members belong to
other women's organizations, the
Somerset Club holds a special place
in the lives of all.
The club was organized % years
ago when snIll group of pioneer"
women in the Somerset develop
ment met to discuss ways and means
of helpful service to the new COM
munity.
Thirty-six charter members were
enrolled at the first session and
shortly after, on October 20, 1916,
Mrs. Ralph Howell was elected the
first president and Mrs. Dora Bach
eller Haines, first director to the
county federation. Soon the new
organization became known as the
big little club" because of its many
contributions to the welfare of the
community.
The club did not wait for some
big need to arise before commencing
its program of community service.
Such small matters as repairing
sidewalks and seeing that grounds
were kept neat and orderly, at
tracted the club at the first.
Decided originality was displayed
in methods employed to obtain re-
suits. In the clubs early days board
walks still prevailed in Somerset and
frequently the boards were broken
or needed replacing, without the
civic means of repairing them. The
club held a rummage sale to raise
funds for materials, while members
enlisted the aid of husbands to do
the repair work
