Data taken from Government
Records

-DdJd TAKEN from government
Records.
After Analysing the words of Will
kie and the record of Roosevelt it is
evident that the salvation of each one
of our group lies in the election of
Willkie. To continue the present adj
ministration is to sell our birthright
for a mess of pottage. To continue
the present administration shows our
lack of that manhood and woman
hood which was eXemplifed by our
forebears who toiled, that we might
reach the point where we could stand
upright in the eyes of all men and
demand that they say, "There stands
an upright man." To continue the
present administration leaves but one
conclusion,-we are unfit by our lack
of foresight to be called parents of
our boys and our girls.
There is no man or woman with a
drop of red blood in their veins who
does not hope that his son or daughter
will have a better opportunity in life
than they had. How then can parents
look their children in the face knowing
that they have failed them in their
hour of need. Theirs is the voice
calling to US in the darkness calling
for light. Are they willing to stand
idly by or will they penetrate the
darkness and lead them out to the
light Of a promising life? The
answer rests with them on November
5. They have the power to rescue
them from their plight by voting for
Wendell Willkie and the Republican
ticket.
-. First to thy ownself be true,
and it must follow as night the day
thou can'st not then be false to any
man." If we want to be true read
the record of Willlie and Roosevelt
and then vote for the man who offers
the hope of new BIRTH WENDELL
WILLKIE.

lit Mrntnrtattt
to
Maurice Spencer
By LILLIAN FEURTADO

1t is just one fower-a lily want
to place in memory's bouquet to
Maurice Spencer.
This memento of old times and new
times opens from the days when Maur-
ice Spencer-a fine looking chap
became an assistant at the bon-ton
Woodland Park Hotel in Auburndale,
owned by the genial and well-beloved
Joseph Lee. Those were the days!
Days of prosperity and charm Maur-
ice Spencer became at once favorite,
popular with those he came in con-
tact with, popularity that never
ceased even when the gilded days at
Auburndale had gone.
1t followed him to Washington
among the government clerks where
he held a responsible position in the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
He made his home in Washington or
rather, just on the outskirts of the
Capitol. There was a Damon and
Pythias friendship between him and
Monroe Trotter, and each referred to
the other as "My Chum." He threw
his best efforts into the work laid out
and carried on by Trotter, and dashed
out against segregation in all it's
forms, as it appeared in his part of
the country. When Monroe Trotter
had grievance to present at Wash
ingtOn, Maurice Spencer opened the
breach through which Trotter was to
pass to strike his blow and raise his
voice. He was valiant and he was
courageous at these times as at all
times. He was friendly to those in
need of friend, and he and his wife,
Gertrude Lightfoot Spencer, were the
last word in hospitality. The memory
of my last visit to Washington comes
before me.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer were my host
and hostess. | had a wish, while
there, to visit Judge Robert Terrell,
during his decline in health and it was
Maurice Spencer who took me to see
him-for the last time in life. 1t was
a happy reunion of memories and one
never to be forgotten.
At the time of Monroe Trotter's
death and long before that-at the
time of Geraldine Trotter's death and
of Virginia Trotter's death, wife and
mother,-Maurice Spencer was among
the grief-stricken mourners. When
Monroe died, Maurice Spencer, bereft
of his chum, hung on to the teachings
and the example of Monroe Trotter
and was an ardent "Trotterite" from
that day to the day of his death.
Much more could be said but the
waking of memories strikes at the
heart chords deeper than mere words.

CoIored Americans
Have A Stake In The War
by the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the AHeA

(By committee to Defend America
by Aiding the Allies.)
Americans in general, and colored
Americans in particular, have a ire
mendous stake in this war between
Hitler and Mussolini on one side, and
England and what is left of her demo-
cratic allies on the other. All colored
Americans are interested in genuine
democracy. For it is in the name of
democracy that we protest against the
1enial of the right of colored citizens
to vote in the South.
Victory for Hitler and Mussolini
will mean the complete destruction of
the right of free speech, free press and
free assemblage, and the right to vote
in elections held after free discussion,
as far as their powers will reach. For
Hitler and Mussolini both have spat
contempt upon democracy, and pro-
claim as their purpose its complete
elimination. They intend to destroy
democracy, not just in war time, but
as a peace-time ideal. They deny all
civil and political rights, not just to
the peoples they have conquered, but
W IIC ItI uldllS anu lIdlldIlS DIS We'll.
All organizations intended to bring
about a change in the governments
policy or to replace enc ruler with
another, no matter how peacefully, are
illegal. The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
for example, would be illegal under
either Hitler's or Mussolini's rule.
In England, on the contrary, organi-
cations similar to the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People exist. They have recently
won a signal victory in opening to
colored people important branches and
ranks of the armed forces heretofore
closed to them. This is a right for
which we are still battling here.
Germany has had no colonies of
blackjack to exploit since the last war.

record of Mussolini in Ethiopia. 1t

How To Lose

Youthful Feelinu

All over the world the Kruschen
Plan is appealing to great numbers
of girls and women who want to
swiftly and safely lose fat and get
more attractive figures!
Take a half teaspoonful of Kru-
schen in a glass of hot water first
thing every morning. Cut down
your caloric intake. Eat wisely and
satisfyingly.
Be sure to do this EVERY morning.
Don't miss this little dose of Kruschen
for by so doing excess poisonous
waste matter, acids and gas are gently
lmpelled from the system.
Liver, kidneys and bowels are gently
activated by Kruschen's aperient and
diuretic properties and because OF
this there usually follows that
k%ruschen feeling" Of more energy,
greater vivacity, improved health and
more youthful feeling which reduc-
ton Of excess fat so often brings.
Get a jar of Kruschen today at any
