ers. We further question that jim
crow policy of army has been
proven satisfactory 1t has never
been satisfactory nor is it now to
Negro Americans. Such segrega-
ton has been destructive Of morale
and has permitted perjudiced SUI
periors to exercise their bigotry
on defenseless Negro regiments.
1--WE are inexpressibly shocked
that a President of the United
States at time of nationl peril
should surrender so completely to
enemies of Democracy who would
destroy national unity by advocat-
ing segregation. Official approval
by the Commander-In-Chief of the
Army and Navy of such discrimin-
alton and segregation is stab in
the back of Democracy. 1t is ira
gic coincidence that you issued
your statement on the same day
the coup de grace was given by
Senate Majority Leader Alben
Barley to the Anti-Lynching bill.
The two acts are a double blow at
the patriotism of twelve million
Negro citizens"
The NAACP has sent a letter
to its 600 branches, youth councils
and college chapters urging active
and continued protest against
President Roosevelt's jim crow ma
tional defense policy. The letter
asks action before election day to
make the protests of Negro Amer
leans most effective.
The NAACP announced that the
whole section of policy dealing
with Negro army officers was a
plan to put Negro officers ION the
skids" and eventually eliminate
them altogether.
An important part of the N. A.
A. c. P. protests and activities
will be upon the employment of
Negroes in arsenals, navy yards,
and indutrial plants which have

Senator John Ryan
Deserves Election
BY f. H. Holmes

Senator Ryan, Veteran State Lee
gislator, certainuly is one of the
best. Thousands of his friends of
Tacoma are rejoiced that this able
statesman with health restored,
like the eagle has again rerentered
politics and been nominated as
State Representative of a Pierce
County district.
Senator Ryan, publisher of Ry-
ans Weekly, is regarded as the
best authority on State politics.
Eagerly sought by those who wish
to keep abreast of the times and
informed upon men and issues is
indispensable. Himself a pioneer,
Senator Ryan has fought the bat
ties of the people with voice and
pen, shoulder to shoulder with John
r. Rogers, early day governor,
Senator George Turner, Governor
Ernest Lister-all gone to their
reward for more than genera
ton. In the legislative halls at
Olympia in both branches House
and Senate, he has lifted his voice
as champion of human rights. Es-
pecially strong in defense of labor,
they stand behind him like the
Rock of Gibralter. His nominal
ton being equivalent to election,
if past performance is any cri-
terion.
James M. Geraghty, Justice of
the Supreme Court of this state
(deceased) one of the most astute
politicians and ablest jurists that
it has ever produced, said to the
writer, II regard Senator Ryan as
the ablest member of the State
Senate. His Experience, ability, and
courage fit him admirably for the
duties of State Senator. His grasp
of the needs of the State, his SYM
pathy and understanding make of
him one of the most valuable mem
bers of the State Senate"
After serving his term of four
years the old statesman went into
Retirement IN account of foiI;r n
health. I saw him in Yakima in
June at the Democratic State Con-
vention, a leader of the Pierce
County delegation.
Respected, admired and CONSUL
ted by all, I remarked his vigor
and expressed the sentiment that
he might be long spared to the
commonwealth that he served so
long and we'll

He Had a Round
Trip Ticket

The unpredictable Mr.. Smith re-
turns with astonishing perverse-
ness and pertinacity, committing
an exaspirating and provoking err
ror the like of which seldom falls
to the lot of human endurance.
His error was in not passing out
when his dear friends expected he
would. However, what cannot be
cured must be endured and his
two devoted friends might as well
attempt to dig a well with a need
lie, or catch the wind with net
as to catch him mapping, even
when engulfed in an atmosphere
of seeming finality. During the
month of May, Logan Smith was
about to go on long journey, a
journey from which he could not,
if he wanted to, return. In a hos
pital with nurses, oxygen tanks
and medical men laborously work
ing to keep life in his steadily
weakening body, he was, SEEM
ingly, ripe for a touch" Two of
his most trusted friends (?),
whom we might designate birds
of paradise, maybe, made a will
in which provided that half of the
Smith houseold goods should go
go to the female of the species,
brought it to the hospital the day
following his entry and had him
sign it. He claims he did not know
it was will. He also claims he
found missing on his return home,
a sack of flour, sugar and some
canned goods, tools and other
things. He saw a lawyer, the
county attorney, and between the
two he got some of his things
returned. Today (Monday) he
showed me the document made out
for his undoing.

Yet there stood today the same

Christ had built his mighty foun-

Perhaps not; but she was honest

She had her burdens, her trials
