NO RATIoNING OF FREEDOM

There many definitions for freedom. 1t is
what you call aluring word-because it means all
things to all people
Ask the small boy spring day and he'll answer
you promptly mo school and the fish biting" Ask the
speculator he'll say, mo restricons-and quick mar
ket Ask the dictator and he'll say "a fat neghbor who
will not struggle against my divine right to take what
want
Ask the pioneer and he will say "Uncuttered hori-
IONS and chance to make my way Ask the ideast
and he will say "A world where all may share of the
counties of EARTH Ask the religious man and he will
"A life in which may worship my God according to my
own conscience and obey His holy laws
Why are there many definitions? Because freedom
is not static thing 1t is not rule but way of life 1t
is obligation 1t is determined by our relationship to
other people, Only the hermit be free alone Freedom
in civilized community is the way of life that demands
intelligent followers
Freedom does not include the right to carry poison
ancestors his kindred Only by his companions may we
condemn him. Freedom carries with it belief in
the dignity and sacredness of every human being For
al-Jew and Gentle, White and Negro rich and poor
there should be unraoned brotherhood the slogan of
one free community Freedo mmust demonstrate to the
world that diversity of culture strengthens our nation
feeding with fresh water the springs of national life.
Freedom is justice and we must remember that in
court of justice is honest until proven otherwise
Judgment is not passed what others have done Judge
not thy neghbors by Others There good and bad in
every creed and good than bad
One mans freedom is another mans freedom-whe-
ther it be in America in China in Norway or in Africa No
really free unless all are free No mans home
is safe unless all mems homes SAFE What freedom
to you? Think carefully and then apply it to your
fellow to your brother 1t fit you both or it
not freedom.-RUTH TAYLOR

A TRIBUTE TO
SAMUEL |. Mccoy
By MARY E. MOORE

With the passing of Mr. Sam
uel L Mccoy of 80 Brook ave,
Boston loses one of its most
prominent citizens Familiary
and lovingly known as Sam"
among his many intimate
friends, his loss is keenly felt.
Born of an aristocratic family
of McCoys from Danville, Vir-
ginia, his arrival in Boston
simply added to the culture of
what was then known as "Old
Bostonfans." His poise was in
nate: his refinement was like
a polished jewel. He befriend-
ed mankind whether white or
colored. Seldom does one reach
that stage in life when ones
presence becomes a benedic-
ton. To those who knew him
the memory of his wholesome
smile, his courageous words,
his hearty handshake will re-
main as a monument. Since
strength is the moral code of
those who rise above their
fellow-man the passing of Mr.
Mccoy, true gentleman,
leaves a void in the hearts of
all who knew him.

OPPOSED BY SOUTH

The most bitter enemies of Mrs Roosevelt are, of
course, the socalled unreconstructed rebels of the
South who in their ignorance think that all Chinese are
aundrymen and that coored people, like nothing better
than to pick Gotten and slave.
But all of Mrs. Roosevelts enemies are not in the
south and already comparisons being made between
Mrs Roosevelt and Mrs Dewey, younger pretter and
more reserved lady who born in Sherman Texas but
who came north in her youth and later married and settled
IN New York. Just why Mrs Dewey and Mrs Roosevelt
should be injected into the present political campaign is
quite obvious to those who realize that this campaign
is shaping up vital duel between American conserva
tive and liberal elements in this country. 1t is confus

MRS. DEWEY TEXAN

Mrs Roosevelt towers above the current political cam
pagn and above both parties regardless to the outcome
of the elections in November 1t is debatabe whether Mrs
Dewey would hold any similar spotlight if her husband
were elected At present she entertans very little and
considered as conservative White House ladies used
be in the past One does not vision Mrs Dewey scoldng
the D. A R. for racial violations nor serving cup of cor
dial tea to Dr. Mary Bethune Ii Mrs Dewey has enter
tanned any colored at her Albany home it hasn't been
prominent in the papers. 1t doesn't appear likely that
she would offend the southern vote Mrs Roosevelt
has DONE Like Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Dewey ap-
parenty would please southern arstocracy, especially
since she was Texas born although she later moved to
Oklahoma Perhaps Mrs. Dewey may be more liberal than
some may believe. However yet she has not conveyed
that impression to the voters.

still generally proRoosevelt and very strongly liberal
The conservative G. O. P candidate in his profound dis
cussions finance debts and past mistakes of the

discourses of the Mssrs Hoover and Landon For all the
present ballyhoo Tom Dewey does not equal the plain

did, Essentially Dewey still represents the upper class

views opposing the President still do not outline anything
far superior Criticism alone won't turn the trick for Mr.

ABOVE POLITICS

Eleanor Roosevelt stands above all this political
preaching and sensationasham as a refreshing simple
lady who could have been the biggest snob
in America but chose of her own accord to be White
House mother to the nation and to the world We gor
fled Dolly Madison and Martha Washington and Mrs
Woodrow Wilson whose knowledge of colored people was
along the line of servants and unkies and nothing
more When a colored man had dinner at the White
House, some American aryans shreked in horror When
Mrs. Roosevelt threw all doors open colored visitors and
paid them retur ncas that too much. Mrs FDR has
established democratic precedent for First Ladies to
low but few probably will The lady who wears
hats and dresses fashioned coored and who dare
against rants at home is far better American than her
acst minded critics will be- Mrs Rooseves resi-
dence at the White House has certainly set style which
others may not equal.

Dante Baini Of Waterbury, as the
result Of an alleged infringement on
pasway rights, have been sched-
uled for q hearing Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock in superior
