fathers of all races. The Dictators
will hesitate to wreak their vengence
on consecrated unit of humanity
whose faith is strong that the world
was created by God!
We conclude that world democracy
is in great danger. Dictators are mass
ing their war engines for total de-
struction of free government. Amer
lea has become alarmed. The Roose-
welt regime admits that a gigantic
shadow hangs over the nation. Mill
tary preparedness to meet this ugly
totalitarian monster must be orga-
nized with might and power to chal-
lenge its ponderable force. This can
not be done until a complete racial
manpower equality has been definitely
established. America must make the
first move. A sensible program of
future racial amity must be planned.
The states whose sectional customs
have been obnoxious should cooperate
decisively to meet this issue with JUS
tice for and Malice toward none of
Americas citizens.

of the two day meet, although he
didn't break any records, was Barney

The redoubtable Ewell ran even with
Charlie Borah's 13-year old furlong

tory in the final in 20.9s. His 9.7 in

Jimmy Herbert in

No doubt the most interesting race
of the afternoon was the 440 yd. run
which couldn't be decided upon until
the pictures had been developed.
Barnes of California was the pre-meet
favorite in the event-but all the east
ern track followers felt pretty certain
that Herbert and Wallace would make
a good race of it. At the beginning,
Barnes was running true to form as
he took commanding lead and held
it right up to the closing yards. Her

THE STORY OF THE WEEK
Duqger Sets New Record

the one to keep the family together.
This is not always an easy task.
But Dugger's mother has. She has
succeeded triumphantly where others
have failed. She has kept her family
together and saw Eddie go through
high school. She saw him receive a
scholarship Lawrence scholarship
out of fund left by a rich Medford
citizen whose will designated that any
Medford boy who was considered
worthy of aid should be given help at
Tufts. And this is noteworthy because
Eddie isn't an only child-he is the
oldest of six.
THE CHAMPION OF THE
DUGGERS
Yes-Eddie has thus far made good
in a big way. When he came hurdling
down that Stadium track in the late
afternoon to set a new record in the
high hurdles he inscribed his name
high above all others. Then, as he
became a double winner by taking the
low hedgehopping titie-he entered his
name on the scroll of all-tine greats
for his speciality. When, few weeks
ago, he received the trophy of the
Off Hill Club for being the most out
standing committing student at his
college and also when he was elected
to the Tower Cross honor society-he
strengthened the faith of his sacriic-
ing mother. And when he was elected
to the captaincy of the next Tufts
track team-he confirmed the adora-
tons of his many followers. But those
track and academic achievements were
merely more medals, for in Digger
there is something more than just
feetness of foot.
For Eddie realizes more than ever
just what it really means to get an
education after losing one of your
parents. He knows that, whatever
championships he may win, whatever
titles he may gain-the real champion
of the Duggers is his widowed mother
who with flaming determination re-
fused to be beaten by burdens few men
or women could combat.

INHERTTS GREAT SPIRIT FROM
MOTHER

MOlHER
Eddie Digger fairly rocketed down
the straightaway at the Harvard Sta
dunn in the lateness of Saturday
afternoon and the crowd Of some 5000
roared out its tribute as the Colored
Marvel OF Tufts, localite, won his
second Intercollegiate championship.
A GREAT COMPETITOR
That Digger should have won the
two IC4A championships in the low
and high hurdles was not a miracle
for we have seen him always as a
great athlete. While at Medford High
he was outstanding-one who could
do everything well. He could double
in track and baseball and in football
and basketball as well. Since enter
ing Tufts his exploits have been bril-
liant. In three years he has been
beaten only once in intercollegiate
competition. Not as a freshman-for
he far outclassed his rivals then-nor
as sophomore or in dual meets.
1t happened a few weeks ago at
Worcester-in the Eastern inter-col-
legiates-when he stumbled in the
hurdles and finished second to Hall, a
teammate. But even in this particu-
lar meet Digger had already decked
himself in glory as he won three
events The tall athlete whizzed off
with easy wins in both dashes and
took the front role in the running
broad jump.
In a dual meet against Wesleyan
earlier in the season Eddie proved
himself to be zone man track team"
by winning first honors in no less
than four events. He was first in both
dashes and in both hurdling distances.
Two weeks ago at Springfeld-at the
54th New England Intercollegiate
it was Digger all over again as he
broke one record. equalled another and
then went on to win still another
event. Yes-he is a great competitor
and yet how could he be anything else
he has a great competitor behind
him, his mother.
HIS MOTHER AN INSPIRATION
Generally mothers just go on from
day to day being a source of unnoticed
encouragement Not that they wish
to get the credit for such-for as
rule mothers get more pleasure out of
just helping and being able to sit
back and smile as they watch the
progress of their growing children.
But sometimes, as is the case here,
the Heavens call the father of the
family home to Eternal Rest and then
the dear mother is left with a double
responsibility. For she must now be
not only an inspiration to her children
but she must also be the binder

events. In the high hurdles Digger

The Working
Man Pays

Who bears the heaviest burden
when an unjustified strike Is called?
Tnat ii easy TO answer: the work
ing man.
The San Francisco Employers
Council recently published survey
of what happened in number OF
recent strikes. In one case. lS5
employees lost 81 days wages--and
the strike was finally called off. In
another, l53 employees lost 67 days
wages-and the strike was called
off. In another, $50 employees lest
1O7 days wages land the strike was
called Off
SO it goes, down Il long list. And
in the case Of really big strikes, such
as that against Chrysler, the wage
loss ia workers runs far into the
millions.
Labor organization is desirable.
A well organized and fairly operated
union is great asset to the labor
ing man. But the unjustified strike
is usually the result Of unprincipled,
self lf-seeking labor leadership. Such
labor leaders don't have To worry
their salaries 70 on as usual. It's
the working man who pays and pays.

NEW YORK --tC)--In an inter
view with the officials Of the 1910
New York Worlds Fair last week,
Calvin's Newspaper Services re-
porter was informed that the Fair
had not nor did it expect Is appro-
pirate any money for publicity in
the Negro press. This, despite the
fact that last year these same Off
cials admitted that thousands of
dollars were spent with white news
agencies.
Among th Sc present during the
interview were scores of white
newspaper men now employed by
the Fair, It was admitted by one Of
these workers that he was getting a
nice salary for writing news stories
for the various white dailies. There
wasn't one writer for the colored
press on the staff. When question
ed about it, the officials answered
that they did not hire any last year
and saw no reason why they should
hire any this year.
Il is understood that the Fair
press and promotienal department
has on hand list pf Negro papers
and plans to send free passes ta
n
them, hoping that this would be suf-
ficient to obtain free publicity in
the colored press.
1t was pointed out by the repor-
ter that unless the Fair officials pro-
vide to have some money given to
the Negro press, the greater amount
of publicity about the Fair would be
unfavorable To this the officials
did no more than shrug their should
ers and laugh, They were then re-
minded Of the adverse stories car
