QUARRELING AND QUIBBLING

Wendell Willkie will hardly go
down in history as president but
he will go down as the greatest
quarreler this country has ever
known. 1t has been said of old
that it takes two to make a quar-
rel, but Mr.. Willkie has exploded
that proposition, for he has been
quarreling with nobody to quarrel
back. If Willkie goes down in de-
feat-and there is little reason to
doubt that he Wilt may be truly
said of him that he literally quar-
relied himself to death politically.
Fortunately for the cause of
tone politics and campaign pro-
cedu1es, President Roosevelt did
not choose to quarrel" and this left
Mr.. Willkie the whole quarrel
fields to himself; and he has done
his best to spread over it all.
YOU CAN OVER-KILL
Mr.. Willkie will have to find out
what many of us know, and that
is. it is possible to "over-kill' our
opponent. If we make a dig" aft
er an opponent, and he chooses to
dig back, we can proceed with
our digging tactics; but if We dig
and he goes about his business and
leaves us digging by ourselves, then
We are headed for disaster 1t does
not take much brains nor moral
stamina to see what is wrong with
the world, but it takes much ot
these to prescribe a program OF re-
lief
Nobody has yet even ventured to
propose a program to take the
place of Roosevelt's. Every pro-
posal for a better order, takes its
cue from the New Deal. The Old
Deal leads to death and revolu-
ticn: the New Deal offers hope
that somehow the economic ship
may right itself and we shall be
able to maintain the American way
of life. just as the isolationist;

ture, the Old Dealers will be forced

over to the piano almost uncon-
sciously.
During the re-landscaping OF
Morehouse College campus some
years ago the writer spent many
hours watching the so-called un-
skilled laborerS at work; several
men particularly attracted the at
tention of the writer because of the
artistic touches SO finely executed
with just a pick and shovel. They
were truly artists. Such work as
they did must have come from the
soul. ........
Another experience quite faSci-
mating was to watch the leader of
a track gang get symphony into
the work of the men with whom he
worked as they toiled under a blaz-
ing hot sun. His singing, his good
hu1nor, the forcefulness of his
command and the strength of his
body commanded their respect. Tt
was awe inspiring in it's effective
ness.
QUESTION ARISES
AS to whether or not these men
are symbolic samples of other gen.
itls that is hidden even deeper,
the question also rises in mind as
to whether or not these men work.

place, almost infinitesimal place,

accidents of birth, race, finance and
social conditions who gets to be a
national labor union leader, head

For it is fact that all Negroes
are caught into strong complexity
of social forces and it may be that

itself before finding way far

If there is one thing that Hitler

done to mankind today, it is the
