voteless, and poor, and non-union-
zed, and lynched and scared-which
is the way the South loves US.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt
obviously do not agree with that
way of looking at the Negroes
plight. God knows Mr.. Roosevelt
is no miracle-working saint, nor is
the Democratic Party full of angels
from heaven. But for the past
twelve years it has dropped more
mama our way than any admins
tration since the year when Lin
coin sprinkled freedom all over the
land-which was a mighty long
time ago. And the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration has done more to out
wit States Rights and give all poor
folks half way break than any
other administration at all since
this government has been admins
tratlng.
Since there is nobody to vote for
but Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Dewey,
anyhow, it seems to me the choice
is a simple and easy one for Ne
gro Americans who ought to be
able to find a thousand reasons to
one for voting for our President
rather than the gentleman from AL
bany, N. Y.
Afraid of Back Door
Mr.. Roosevelt, for example, gives
plenty of evidence of not liking
race riots, and used Federal power
and Federal troops to put an end to
that one in Detroit. Mr.. Roosevelt
doesn't seem to like hate-strikes
against Negro workers, most not
ably Philadelphia, where he again
used Federal troops to protect COL
ored motormen in their right to
jobs.
Politics is an alien field to me,
and have no political job, and no.

~N JULY %, 1923, sixteen years ago, in an
u article about plans for a rocket plane that
would be able to fly 1000 miles an hour 50
miles above the earth, The American Weekly said
of rocket locomotion:

means by which space will be eliminated and by
which mankind may escape its terrestrial bondage

Not only in transportation but IN countless
other fields, the peacetime possibilities OF these

that in this war Germany has used robot planes

Only World Based
On Brotherhood Can
Escape Another War

Only a world based on the fun
damentals of brotherhood can es-
cape the calamity of another war,
according to Dean J. o. Grimes,
Arizona State Teachers college,
Tempe.
Speaking at the Methodist
church Sunday evening, Dean
Grimes warned that the next world
war is already in the making and
that when it does come it will be
q war between white and colored
races. Bluntly, he said, that the
nations of the world will not make
sufficient sacrifice to establish a
universal brotherhood.
"Is America going to be salts,
fled with a lower standard of liv-
ing in order that India may have
a somewhat higher standard OF
liying?" he asked, then went on
to answer his own question in the
negative, asserting that none OF
us is ready to make that sort OF
sacrifice.
Asking for racial equality, Dean
Grimes said he would do his part
toward killing Japanese and Ger.
mans but that he would not hate
them. "They are fighting for
what they believe is right" he
said, "even as our boys are fight
ing for the things they believe
right. We can kill, because we
have to, but we ought not to
hate" Dean and Mrs. Grimes
have son in the South Pacific
area.
In summary, Dean Grimes point
ed out the fallacies of the Yer
sailles treaty, briefly showing how
even then the Japanese felt they
were being Disseminated against

statement that while we have
come far in eliminating racial pre-
