Since the pleasure Garden was
closed in July, Mr.. Block through
his council a torney Louis Joseph,
has waged a ceas /. IS fight to re
open the establishment. The case
finally came to trial on Saturday
morning, Oct IL, with Ju ge Dex-
ter Bush pesiding. After hearing
testimony presented by several
witnesses for each side, he or
dered the paddock removed and
gave theowner of the garden per-
mission to reopen IRE pace for
business. The point was brought
out during the trial that Blocks
Pleasure Garden is counted among
one Of the most beautiful pictures
que places in the four states area.
The main building is an antique
brown wood log structure, covered
with spanish MOSES and chnging
vines. The spacious grounds are
lined with hundreds of beautiful
well arranged natural shrubbery.
Under the houghs are numerous
sone and marble top tables and
benches. The entire garden was de-
signed and built by M. Block him
self, In the absence of any type of
public park facilities for the Ne
gro citizens Of Texarkana, Blocks
Pleasure Garden has served the
race for years not only as a place
Of recreation, but an id al place for
many public gatherings, such az
mass meetings, style shows,
bend concerts, etc.
kama Welcome thr news Of the
reo pening with joyous acclaim. /
is possible for all visitors to .the
garden to park til ir cars in the
immediate block of the gar en- and
the blocks adjacent to the colored
residential sec ion, and to go to and
from the garden by streets lad-
ing through the colored section,
thus avoiding coming in contact
with the white residents at all.
1t is tie hope Of every one who
is interested in seeing h, garden
r main rpen for the ben fit of

MRS. MILDRED +. KING,
1868 Frankfort road.

I APPEAL to every American mother who
i might read this. Let's face the truth. Day
by day they are getting us nearer into this
war; war we do not want and Fust not have.
England with her vicious Propaganda is
making good her threat. She promised she
would get us into this war and admits she
spent millions getting US into the last war.
Twenty-three years ago my husband en-
listed and served with the Second Division in
France. Of the very few that survived, he
was one to come home with an honorable dis
charge.
Now % years later have two sons
eligible for service. and if England waits an
other 20 years, l will have three more sons
to offer her.
Mothers, everywhere, write your senators
and representatives in Congress urging them
to do everything possible to keep this country
out of Europe's war. Let us build defense, a
strong defense, instead of sending our ships,
guns, everything, across the sea.
We have never been at war with Ger
many except through England's cleverness
and our stupidity.
We want to make the world safe. with
other dictators wiped off the earth, but what
have we here? President Roosevelt is asking
for power equal to that of any dictator. And
will he get that power? He will, if we do not
stop him.
Let us listen, not to warmongers and
antagonizers but to men, who knew in 1917
and who know now, what is best for our
country. Men like Senator Wheeler Charles
A. Lindbergh. William Randolph Hearst and
many others Hats off to these very fine
patriots. They are true to our country and
our early tradition.

America First


- THE government of the United States,
whose head is the President, is charged by
the people of this country to accomplish two
things: to see to it that the British Empire
and Commonwealth are not defeated and de-
stroyed, and to keep us out of participation
i'm the war as active belligerents."
When l read this first paragraph in your
issue of the thirteenth could hardly believe
my senses that an American columnist should
write such gibbersh in an American news
paper.
1t is true that the people wanted and per-
haps even demanded of both presidential
candidates a pledge to keep us out OF active
participation in the war, but where in heaven
or earth has she found authority for the state
ment that the people of the United States
have charged their government with the task
of guaranteeing British security and ultimate
victory? ....e
1t may also be true that the majority OF
the people are in favor of rendering all rea-
sonable and possible material aid to Britain
without going off the deep end, but a more
candid statement of the situation with refer
ence to the war issue would be that the Presi-
dent has literally charged the people with the
responsibility of creating an arsenal out Of
our country for the express purpose of insur-
ing British conquest and an Axis defeat.
Naturally, for such a tremendous under
taking he wants practically unlimited author
ity and power.
Dorothy Thompson says he should have
it. but in that case we destroy the very thing
for which we are asked to sacrifice and work,
namely. our democracy.
If the people and Congress during a ma
tional crisis, either actual or superimposed,
surrender their rights, privileges and powers
into the hands of one individual, then the
democratic form of government not only
ceases to exist but is automatically proven
to be failure.
Any form of government which is not
elastic enough or sufficiently plant to get
around all national problems, emergencies and
crises in accordance with the fundamental
principles of that government and still
maintain its integrity. must ipso facto be
inadequate or wanting in its intrinsic response
bilities.
natural conclusion would be that either
the people lack in intelligence and loyalty to
deserve an ali-time. 100 per cent democracy,
or that the Congress is derelct in its duties.
The fact that Dorothy Thompson, who
regards herself as an intellectual liberal,
should get so twisted in her own mind as to
root for autocratic usurpation of political
control, even temporarily, is to me an indica-
ton of the nervous breakdown to which some
people are succumbing in these days of stress
and strain.
