ognizing opportunities and slower
still to take advantage of them.
Where are these opportunities?
Right before us - in the field of
public service (not domestic serv-
ice). On the sixth of May, Civil
Service examination for policemen
and firemen will be held in st. Paul.
Here is a splendid opportunity for
members of our race, particularly
young men of voting age. This is
one opportunity; there are others,
too. All we have to do is reach out
and grab them. Or are we afraid
that the effort might awaken us
from our long sleep? Then, too, if
we took advantage of this oppor-
tunity we'd no longer be able to
say that we didn't have chance
because we were colored." We
wouldn't forfeit that comforting
bit of nonsense for anything, would
we?

Will President Roosevelt
Stand for a Third Term?

ex-president elected since Abraham
Lincoln. President Roosevelt has
shown marvellous recuperative pow
ers, and seems little the worse for
wear after six strenuous years in
Office.
Franklin D. Roosevelt viii be
slightly under so years old when
and if inaugurated for third term
in 1910 and younger than George
Washington, James Madison, James
Monroe, and Andrew Jackson when
inaugurated for their second term
and than Theodore Roosevelt, when
he ran for a constructive third
term in 1912. The argument based
on traditional objection to a third
term is wholly a part from that
based upon the state or confluence
of the candidates health and
strength.
Those, who seek shelter behind
the example of George Washing
ton are prone to arrogate them
selves patriotic superiority to their
adversaries. But this assumption
is not borne out by analysis of his
torical facts. Among other reasons
which motivated Washington to re-
tire at the end of the second term
was that he considered himself as
an old man worn out with the long
duration of responsible official
duties.
No one would consider the advo-
cation of Grants third nomination
less patriotic than those who an
tagonized it. Who would now con-
slider James G. Blaine more patrio-
tic than Roscoe Conkling? Had Lin
coin survived the assassin's bullet
the patriotism and craftsmanship
of the nation would doubtless have
called upon him to complete the
work of reconstruction. If Presi-
dent Wilson had not broken down
under onerous burdens imposed by
the World war, he too, in all prob
ability, would have been nominated
and elected for third term by a
grateful nation.
90 The bitter feud between Taft and
Roosevelt in 1912 was due to in
tra-party strife and had little or no
relation to relative regard for the
Constitution or reverence for ira
dition by their respective adher-
ence. The third nomination and
election of Franklin D. Roosevelt
will hinge upon his own decision
and the posture of events immedi-
ately prior to the nominating con-
vention in 1910 which may make
his selection and election impera-.
tive and inevitable.

Il
Will President Roosevelt stand
for third term, and if nominated,
can he be elected? These are ques-
tons which spring into first place
in current political discussion. His
personal decision and the compel
ling force of events cannot be pre-
dicted at this time.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is easily
the most popular man in America
today. According to the Gallop poll
his popularity has serrated from 81
to SO per cent during the past six
years. If the nation were polled
today he would receive more votes
for third term than any other
candidate of either party could
command for the first nomination.
His popularity has been persistent
and shakable only slightly by his
rash proposal to enlarge the SUI
preme Court and his personal at
tempt to purge the party of MEM
bers whose minds did not run along
with his own. His prestige rests,
first, upon the young voters under
45; second, the labor vote; third,
the farm vote; fourth, the women
vote; fifth, those in the lower in
come bracket or on relief, and,
sixth, the Negro vote. These ele-
ments which constitute the vast
majority of the electorate are as
much in favor of Roosevelt as they
were in 1886.
The age and state of health of
the candidate constitute important
consideration at the time the noIni-
nation is made. President Roose-
welt will be only go years of age
at the expiration of his second
term, when man is supposed to
be in the full maturity of his pow
ers and able to sustain severe phys
ical and intellectual tasks.
In our political history seven
presidents have served two full
terms and we might as we'll say
eight including Theodore Roosevelt.
Of these Washington, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Wilson were
the only second-term presidents
who died during what would have
been their third term if they had
been elected. Washington survived
his second term by two years and
Wilson by three. The age of go
seems to be a reasonable dead line
for the third inauguration of a
president. g..
The wear and tear of the office
has been much greater since than
before the Civil War. The fatality
of one-term ex-presidents has been
enormous. There is only one living

Big Words

Big words when rightly used designate definite thought
Some people use big words and then there's brought
The question of how that big word helped explain
The speakers thought for enlightenment proved
Big words all right properly used,
If not don't use them for you'll not be excused
Even tho the expression had no intent
Of misuse of words in what meant.
Don't try to impress people with four syllable words
Unless you you understand for there's birds
Who'll either smoker poke fun at what you say
And ask you what they right away
Many people use big words to impress
Listeners with the thought that unless
They used you won't realize their knowledge
When the real truth is you wonder what college?
Big words ike everything else have their place
Don't abuse your audience with false face,
For your knowledge will be shown once you speak,
But misuse of big words your education weak

CONGRATULATIONS!
Dear Mr.. Newman:

In a war for the removal of an
injustice an ally may contribute
help for one or another battle, but
the oppressed group must bear the
spearhead of the attack, if success
is to be obtained. Wisely you have
acted on that principle. The battle
was not Immediately won, but
much territory was gained. Some
of the allies have been forced to
show their hands. Your own group
have been stirred by the call of
battle. You have given them lead
ership with a few others. The work
for the insurance bill was educa-
tional and it cleared the field. 1t
accomplished much. Hearty con-
gratulations.
Very sincerely yours,
Francis ]. Gilligan.

RACE NO LONGER AN EXCUSE!

To the Editor:
How often have we heard the ex-
preston, 81 didn't have chance
because l was a Negro? True
enough there is some justification
for the expression, but there is no
explanation for the multiplicity of
inexplicable facts which the ex-
preston conceals. But the sad part
of it is that the expression has
come to be recognized as a legiti-
mate excuse for failure among our
people. How blessed we Negroes
are to have an ever-ready abb
that can conveniently conceal our
shortcomings!
Let us grant, then, for illustra-
tive purposes, that Negroes are not
granted the benefit of opportunities
commonly accorded the other races;
let US grant that we are discrimi-
mated against. Does such injustice
warrant condemnation and pro-
test? Indeed it does, but only on
one condition-that we are capable
and willing to take advantage of
opportunities when they arise! Let
US not be fooled, then, by cries of
discrimination, let us not be con-
tent to make valuable protest; for
behind all our cries (all our pro-
test) hes the undeniable, inescapa-

City Dwellers See Aerial Fight Nazis British

LONDON, Oct. 28 (H) Two German airmen were killed, one was wounded and a Nazi pilot was captured in an aerial drama over Edinburgh which was wit messed by hundreds when British fighters planes forced down a German raider which the air min istry said was making reconnais- sances east of Dalkeith.
 The plane struck on a hillside after a rare display of aerial ac- robatics by both sides. One wit ness said the plane struck a stone wall but even then the pilot would not give up and tried to get the machine into the air and ran it along the rough ground for baout half mile be fore he had to stop.
