JUST A POLITICAL FORUM
REPUBLICAN
WORDS LIKE THESE
BY ATTY. c. NJ. STOKES

1t is not always fair to quote
mans words long years after
they were spoken for the reason
that ofentimes change in cir
cumstances would lead one to
take different position on
particular subject at later date.
However, I think those persons
who aspire to the high office of
the presidency of the United
States have a greater duty de-
volved upon them to speak care
fully because of the immense
weight which the people of the
United States give to their ut
terances.
Some of the statements of this
administration during their long
tenure of office point the way in
which they inted to proceed. You
will recall that in the early years
of the administration the Presi-
dent boasted that the things
which had occurred while he oc-
cupied the White House chair did
not just occur by happenstance
and he took full credit by say
ing: 1--WE planned it that way"
At another time he said, "They
have met their MASTER; again,
81 hate war;; later, 81 have
said before and l will say again
and again and again, Your sons
will not fight on foreign soil,
unless attacked Isn't It FAIR
to assume, in the light of sub !
sequent events, at the time of
making the last utterance the
President knew or had reason
to know or should have known
that we would be attacked?" All
of these words show the appar-
ent ease with which the Presi-
dent speaks to serve his own
ends. 1t is not any cause for
wonder then that Governor Dew
ey is enabled to campaign on a !
promise to restore honesty and
integrity to the White House.
The Democrats of the last IL
years have relegated to the limbo
of forgotten things: the Declare
ton of Independence, the Con-
stitution of the United States, /,
and the Ten Commandments. 1t
will be the duty of all true
America loving peoples to, this
November 7, reach into the ash
can where the New Dealers have
thrown these noble documents,
take therefrom the Declaration
of Independence, the Constitution
of the United States, and the
Ten Commandments, dust them
eff, place them upon the mantle,
turn on the home fires with their
cheerful glow of peace, prosper
ity and preparedness, and march

SHERIFF CALLAHAN
Is A GOOD SPORT

Today, three men came to
town. They were football play
ers. One was a Renowned
player, the other two, just play
ers. The three players looked
forward to very lonesome day,
until game time. When this
good sport, that I speak of, heard
of their sad plight, he at once
got busy. He first sent one of
his able assistants to seize them.
and show them the town, and to
introduce them to the people.
With this done the good sport,
with the assistance of a superb
chef, overdid himself by setting
in front of these visitors a lunch
con fit for a king.
After being dined the three
men were given the run of one
of the larger office buildings of
the city, and later returned to
their hotel for a rest before game
time. The good sport that
speak of is our own Sheriff
Harlan S. Callahan, sheriff of
King County. The three men
that l speak of are: Kenny Wash
ington, Bobby Van Dancer and
Samuel Smith, players with the
San Francisco Clippers football
team, here to play the Seattle
Bombers. We need more good
sports like our sheriff.

DEMOCRAT
Republican EmancipatOrs?
BY J. A. (Jack) JOHNSON

To those who assume the re-
sponsibility to advise and to lead
their fellow man, in the long run,
honesty is the best policy. IN the
columns of this paper during the
past few weeks. we have read
statements from the pens of Re-
publican writer's, calculated to
appeal to our emotions rather
than to our sober reflections. We
have been told that President
Roosevelt is a figurehead who
has shown his insincerity by as
piring to be president longer than
the two terms as according to
custom, when the truth Is, the
affairs of our country are con-
Quoted by law and not by GUS
tom--that of all the social re-
forms legislated into law during
the new deal regime. nothing has
benefited the Negro citizens.
That of all the public statements
Mrs. Roosevelt has made in de-
Tense of the rights of minority
groups in our country. that she
occasionally speaks only OF her
Negro servants and one writer
goes so far as to resurrect the
bones of Abraham Lincoln in the
hope of causing some Negroes to
vote Republican out OF respect
to the great Emancipator.
The man who made this last
statement, while probably well
advanced in law, is woefully
short on history IL he really be-
lieves what he wrote. Any one
of average intelligence knows
that the Republican party of to-
day is not the party founded by
Lincoln. The party founded by
Lincoln believed that all men
were entitled to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. They
passed the 18th, 14th and 18th
amendments to the constitution
which gave the Negro freedom,
the right OF citizenship and the
right to vote. They were IN
complete control OF the govern
ment for a long number of years
but no where in all its record
can be found where single dol
lar was appropriated to enforce
these amendments. Since the be-
ginning of the administration OF
President Hayes. who ordered the
federal troops out of the South
and left the Negro to the mercy
of those who had previously en-
shaved him, they have done moth
ing for the Negro people except
to appoint few Negroes to
political jobs and charge them
with the responsibility of keep
ing the Negro masses appeased

WOMEN WANTED
FOR MEDICAL DEPT.

The Surgeon General of the
Army has asked all Veterans of
Foreign Wars posts and Auxil-
iaries to work night and day in
an effort to enlist women for
the Medical Department, so that
proper care can be given to the
returning wounded veterans.
There list a single community
in this country that hasn't been,
or isn't going to be, represented
on the national casualty list, said
Mrs. Martha Davis, president,
Ladies Auxiliary, Post 289.
We, as leaders in the commun-
nty, naturally want to leave no
stone unturned to get as many
of our wounded back home as
fast as possible-and in the best
possible shape.
This can't be done without
some help. YOUR help. Every
body's help. And, especially the
help of the women of this COM
munity, said Mrs. Davis.
The Ladies Auxiliary of Lewis
Ford Post has launched a pro-
gram to make immediate contact
with all eligible FEMALES in the
community who are interested in
medical or hospital work.
Doubtless there are many in
the community who have no idea
of how much good they can do.
And where they can do it. But
just sitting and waiting for the
wounded to recover isn't going to
do the job.
Booklets, Facts About WACS"
are being distributed by the aux
Hilary so that all interested per-
sons will be properly informed
on the Womens Army Corps. The
need for WACS is urgent, very

help those wounded and disabled
returning boys.
