The human race does the things
that it should do only when 1t is
forced to do them. Perhaps II the
prepardness program results in q
heavy enough general tax we viii
come to ourselves and take the ne
cessary steps to prevent war in the
future. The democracies Of the
world, II they wish to live, must
band themselves together into a po-
lice power strong enough to force
nations, inclined to run amuck in
the world. to settle their differences
without war. Such a police power
could impose an armament limit
on the world and thus reduce the
worlds expense bill for war equip
ment. ~

DR.. Spaulding is dead. This an
nouncement Monday saddened the
entire community, for, while not en-
tirely unexpected, it seemed i'm
possible. His passing leaves a void
which cannot be filled. No man in
Kennewick and possibly in Benton
County, was better known or more
widely beloved.
For thirty years he served the
people in this community, not alone
In their physical illnesses, but men,
tai ones as well, for he was father
confessor to hundreds. For thirty
years he sacrificed his own comfort
and convenience to give aid to his
people, his friends and neighbors,
who were Ill. Thirty years of SER
vice tempered with love of a sort
that people generally seldom re-
cetve.
His outstanding interest was in
youth, and no activity where youth
was concerned failed to enlist his
help. No youth movement was COM
plete without DR.. Spaulding's adj
vice and nelp and he spared no ef-
fort where children were concern
cd
DR.. Spaulding is dead and the
community has lost. its best friend.

BACK TO EARTH

BACK TO EARTH
The United States seems to b'
turning away from all kinds O.
"isms" and back to the Fundamental
theory of our government, namely
a free people and individual oppor.
tunity-a government to protect
not to compete with its own citizens
in business. ..
To quote the President, Private
industry Will have the responsible.
ity of providing the best, Speediest
and most efficient mass production
of which il is capable"
There can be no question of the
desire of American industry to CO.
operate to the limit of its ability
with our government to attain un-
precedented heights of efficiency
and service to the end that Ameri-
ca may swiftly be provided with the
best defense system In the world
And there should be no question of
the willingness of our public SER
wants, from the Executive down, to
cooperate with private enterprise in
order to guarantee the successful
completion Of that gigantic task. e
It has taken a world calamity to
reawaken our people to the vital
role whice private enterprise plays
in our national life.
The men, the machines, the re-
sources, and the technique which
private enterprise has developed, are
our first line of defense. The great
industries Of America made possible
the highest peacetime standards Of
living for all-and out of these In
dustries, stated with free men
working under q free enterprise
system, must come our weapons Of
defense.
The time when we could afford
socialistic experiences to the de-
struction of private enterprise--f
we could afford them-has passed.
The national defense is the first and
foremost duty of the Federal gov
eminent in its determination to per-
petuate the American way of life.
We must get back to the funda-
mentals of democracy II we are to
survive as a free and secure people
where government Is the servant,
not the master Of Its citizens.

Many are predicting that compul-
sorry military training IS only few
years off in this country. A modi-
fled form of military training that
would combine with it some form
of vocational instruction for two

give them time to get their bearings

ility of bringing one of the name
bards to that location soon. De-
troit Negroes enjoy the facilities
of the Graystone ballroom in that
city once a week-It is said to be
one of the largest and most mod
ern in the country-It's a funny
thing, fully contrary to common
belief the so-called "ho+" records
run second to the softer, sweeter
sentimental tunes which gives US
an insight on Sepian musical
tastes-A magazine of the review
type is scheduled to appear here
shortly-We hope this much need
ed addition to Negro journalistic
gets the subscription it deserves.

Negro Improvement
The following statements are
quoted from the pilgrim Holi-
ness Advocate and TIE Omitted
Presbyterian" They are facts
about which we should be proud
but they also reveal much room
for greater achievement by us
with the cooperation of other
groups.
'There are $4,000, 900 Negroes in
the United States, and the great
est improvements in the race have
came since the beginning of the
world war. There are now 100
Negro institutions of higher learn
ing with $1,000 students of col
lege grade, 2,457 of collegiate pro-
fessional grade and twice the
entire number studying college
subjects. The first Negro colleg-
late graduate in America was
from Bowdoin College in 1926.
The number of Negroes now hold
ing academic md professional de-
grees is BEATS. About 63.8 per-
cent are men and 1862 percent ere
women.
The largest numerical group
comes from parents neither of
whom could read. The bulk of
these graduates enter the profess
sional field. Nearly 200 have
incomes of $4,000 or more; the
medium high school salary of
graduates is more imperative than
! ever.
Tn re is one white physician to
every 728 white people, but only
n Negro physician to every s.
125 Negroes. There is one white
teacher to every 10 white child
rem and one Negro teacher for ev-
cry 218 Negro children These
comparisons should provoke your
Thought and inspire everyone Of
us to aim for higher goals in life.

We met him at Pop Huey's
Green Tree the other night.
He had entertained Us with a
routine a which consisted of a rope
escape trick, a jell eating stunt
and a balancing feat we recall.
His name he said, was Thomas
Wendell Feral., originally from
Hattiesburg, Miss. He picked up
his profession while walking a.
round circuses and carnivals ar
ound the country.
He came to Omaha from Los
Angeles beating his way by rail.
First appearance here was at
the Blueroom 1t was following
this engagement, he then hied him
self to the other end of Chocolate
avenue.
Tho his remuneration from
thrice nightly skits is anything
| gut huge, he goes through his ACT
With admirable confidence.
He said the hard knocks count
for nothing when one has a goal
in view. That goal, he explained
TO me, was the stage.
We hope he attains his goal, for
we would enjoy seeing a sepian
magician and an escape artist on
the stage.

HOMICIDE RATE DOWN
by PwR

Not many years ago, We could
expect an outbreak of passions
murders at this time of year.
Something has happened TO that
annual habit it seems.
Beginning with the hot weather
the wave of killing occurred with
the regularity of the suns rising.
Man Stays Wife" Hubby
Kills RIVAL MAN Dead Over
Crap Came, were the headliners
told of the annual slaughter in
those days.
In spite of the great number of
such killings, authorities often
had trouble convicting the perpet-
rators. Negroes, they said were
reluctant to testify against an
other Negro in these cases.
Often persons known to have
wfllfully committed murder, went
|. free or served very little time be-
cause of lack of witnesses.
Maybe tha law is becoming
harsher, or maybe we are less in
clined to murder each other. At
any rate there is a very noticeable
decrease in these crimes.
1T WOULDN'T WORK
Back at the turn of the century
a railroad imported a large group
of colored people to populate a
part of western Nebraska.
The clonists we've given neces-
sary equiment to raise crops, build
homes in the area which chiefly
consisted of rich fertile land, ideal
for agricultural purposes,
Evidently the erstwhile colon
lists weren't of back-to7farm mind
ed, for after a couple of years
trial the railroad folks gave up.
