ment.'
The Golden Text, Have I any
pleasure at all that the wicked
should die? saith the Lord God;
and not that he should return
from his ways, and live?" is
from Ezekiel 1928. Other Bible
citations include, "Knowest thou
not this of old, since man was
placed upon earth, That the
triumphing of the wicked is
short, and the Joy of the hypo-
critic but for moment?" Dob
20:4, 81.
The Lesson-Sermon also IL
cludes the following passage
from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, "The way to escape
the misery of sin is to cease
SHINING. There is no other way.
To the physical senses, the
strict demands OF Christian Sci
ence seem peremptory; but

that Life is God, good, and that
evil has in reality neither place

President Truman'S voting
record on the so-called race
question is what is usually de-
scribed as good" It has led
many colored writers to draw
the optimistic conclusion that
in the new President we have
a vigorous champion. Before too
many Of US are lulled by this, I
suggest that we turn for a mo-
ment from the voting record and
examine his attitude toward col
ored people and their place IN
our society.
Humans attitude is that of
the 'Ioyal liberal Southerner,"
as Margaret Marshall described
it in The Nation. That is, he adj
Yocates equality Of opportunity
and education but considers So
cial equality out of the question,
now or ever. The President
summed up his views in ar adj
dress in 1910 before the Nation
al Colored Democratic Associa-
ton. when he said: Before I
go any further I wish to make
it clear that I am not appealing
for social equality Colored peo-
pie know better than that, and
the highest types Of colored
leaders say frankly they prefer
the society of their own people"
Parenthetically, the phrase,
'highest types Of colored lead
ers,' strike a familiar note. 1t
is the sort of language the in
dustrlalists use when they speak
of certain labor leaders. The
"highest types of labor leaders"
are those who are ever ready to
consider synpathetically the
] boss side. They call themselves
responsible" They are forever
admonishing their dues-payers
not to go "too far" in their de-
mands, and to remember that
the boss is entitled to a "fair
profit"
"The highest types Of colored
leaders " according to President
! Truman, prefer the society Of
/ their own people" That is not
the question. The question is:
Are colored to have the choice
Of whose society they prefer
When he is free to mingle with

the denial of presence and Of

The principal lesson in the New

that mediocrity has triumphed. The
democratic process is not attract
ing the most able men 10 the pub
lie service. This Is as true In
Washington as It is I'm New York.
Men will not submit themselves
and their families 20 the miseries
and filth OF a political canvass. BY
default the toughest and crudest
hold office: the sensitive and
thoughtful shun a campaign as an
enterprise in which decent folks
are unwilling TO risk the pillory-
which wracks not only them but
their families.
Many questions face the people
OF New York. For instance, the
city operates one OF the most i'm
portant urban railway systems at
terrific loss. Under the LaGuardia
Administration, the subways were
inefficiently managed; the trains
and stations are filthy. the lighting
IL poor, the cars are over crowded
beyond decency. And because OF
the fact that the subways cannot
pay for themselves. either under
private or municipal ownership, on
a five-cent fare. the problem in
volved is the financial credit OF
the city. This subject was not dis
cussed during the campa gn. Here
