practice a timely opportunism and

tons Of advantage where they can
push only little, but they can
push long, Dewey and Roosevelt
were after votes. Wilkie and wal
lace were after being fair and
macnanimous. Either Dewey or
Roosevelt will have the opportunity
to do many things for the Negroes
while the Great Wallace and Willkie
must observe from the sidelines.
The question is not merely an
academic one, for in the course of
events Negroes often find them.

porize in such manner as leaves
them If positions of advantage.
Willkie and wallace, two moral
stalWarts have helped the cause
of civic and social Righteousness
but they have sacrificed the OPP
portunity to accede to political
power where their influence for
good might have been infinite. 1t
matters not how good man is, he
must be IN position to do eood.
The defeat of Willkie and Wallace
raises the question of just how
good can man afford to be if he
wants to accede to political power?
Should all of the good men gev
themselves politically knocked off
and leave the field to the less
scrupulous, or the mere politically
r1Inded? When man enters

ethics Or play politics? Dewey and
Roosevelt played politics. Wallace

toughest part Of it is in politics.

Wallace

In the political strangulation of
Willkie and Wallace we have one
ri the major traG edieS Of modern
times. AS political casualties they
demonstrate with convincing con-
cluSiveness that men of principal
are not always the principal men.
When the shuttle of politics con-
SIGNS two such moral giants as
Willkie and wallace to the political
shelf, we are forced to gaze upon
a deplorable moral spectacle. The
generations to come will look with
lament upon our political machina-
lions. Willkie was too big for the
Republicans and Wallace too big
for the Democrats.
When the best is cast overheard
we must therefore struggle along
with the second best. The four
square man stands but little chance
before power politics. IdealiSm is
che thing and good politics is an
other Being square is good ethics
but not always good politics.
Speaking the truth as one sees 1t
is ethical but speaking much and
saying nothing may be good poll
tics. Willkie who had something
worth while to say and said it went
down in defeat before the taciturn
Dewey with little or nothing to
say. Wjlkie had a vision and Dewey
had contact and a pull.
TRUTH DRIVEN HOME
Just after the world was recover
ing itself after the inglorious de-
feat OF a great man like Wilkie,
merely because he was great, the
defeat of wallace served to drive
home the erUelling truth that
ethics and politics are not always
good bed-fellows The defeat Of
these two moral giants raises
solemn questions and chief among
these is one relating to white
friends of Negro advance Which
were better for white friends of

 Mrs. R. s. Green, Troop Leader, announced that the council had made certain laws which all Scouts are to abide by. All girls must con- suit their leaders as to their badges. Any girl who is tardy four times will be counted as absent once. All meetings will begin promptly at 4 o'clock and be dismissed at 5 o'clock. All girls are working industriously on their badges as they want to make a good showing at the court of awards.
