aided by the Home Owners Loan
Corporation; colored youths were
saved from delinquency by CCC
and trained for skilled employment
by NYA; Negro workers shared in
the benefits of the Labor Relations
Act, the Minimum Wage Law and
Social Security. WPA created a
Negro white collar class. Negroes
knew that the reforms from which
they derived SO many advantages
were not originated by Congress
but were the result of executive
inspiration. Like other minority
groups, Negroes learned to look to
the President for relief from their
grievances.
Trusted President, Not Congress
There is nothing strange or un-
American in the people placing
their trust in the President instead
of Congress. To act as the pro-
tagonist of all the people, especially
the weak and lowly, was one of the
Constitutional functions the found
ing fathers intended the President
to exercise. In the Constitutional
Convention, when the office of the
President was being debated, Gov
ernor Morris said, at is necessary
that the Executive Magistrate
should be the guardian of the peo-
pie, even of the lower classes,
against legislative tyranny, against
the great and the wealthy who in
the course of things will necessarily
compose the legislative body" Ne
groes and other plain Americans
made no mistake when they put
their faith in the President instead
Of the Byrds, Connallys, Tafts,
Smiths and Hoffmans. Roosevelt
seems to have been more familiar
with that phase of his Constitution
al function than any recent Presi-
dent, and one of his most conspicu-
Gus reforms, FEPC, was effected
by the device of by-passing Con-
gress.
President a Spiritual Leader
There is another function of the
Presidency which, while not Of Con-
stitutional origin, has become an
accretion of the office with the pass
ing Of time. AS it has been years
since l last looked into a volume of
Bryce, I am unable to remember if
that astute observer of American
customs mentioned that the Presi-
dent is the spiritual leader of his
people, in the cultural rather than
the religious sense Of the term.
Roosevelt, with his fair for the dra-
matte, played the role to the hilt,
and it was that, perhaps more than
anything else, which endeared him
to the common people.
In his public appearances Roose-

INDEPENDENCE FOR FILIPINOS

The president of the Philippine gov
eminent, Sergio Osmena, expresses the
hope that independence will be completed
by August but there seem to be difficulties
in the way Of such an early realization Of
Filipino desires.
1t is hardly probable that the Japan
csc will be completely ousted from the re-
cesses of the islands by next summer, and
until this is done, the holding of general
detection to name a legislature will be i'm
possible
= The FilipinOs are anxious to become
independent, but under the Act of Con-
gress, providing for the realization Of this
aim, the. newborn nation would face eco
nomic difficulties. Instead of receiving fla
yorable consideration on the domestic mar
ket, the Philippines would meet tariff bar
riers that might cause serious problems.
While the United States is to be com
mended for its willingness to relinqush
control of the islands acquired from Spain
it should not be forgotten that much Of the
support for legislation necessary to provide
for the independence of the islands came
from commercial interests in this country
anxious to eliminate Philippine competition
IN certain lines.

THE redhead thrust his hand
L between them. They were still
warm. O'Shane fought growing
premonition of trouble. In vain
he sought to reassure himself,
Parker had probably been called
out to quiet a disturbance in
saloon or arrest drunk. Why
should Wacker make trouble on
this particular night? He wan
dered outside and gaZed uncer-
tainly up and down the Swallowed
street. At the north end of town,
its canvas walls glowing from the
lights within, Wacker's makeshift
La Bonita bulked like huge
balloon. Forking the roam, O'Shane
cantered up the street towards it.
A diScordant medley of sound
beat upon his ears as he neared
Wacker'S unsavory night spot.
Ponies were close packed along
the rail that fronted the tent.
Tying his reins in a loose slip
knot for a quick getaway, the
redhead slid inside the entrance.
A rough dance floor had been
laid on the ground in the center
of the big tent. Punchers and
rouged harpies were whirling to
scraping fddles. Men punched,
thick as flies, at the plank bar and
around card tables. Through the

Two reports stabbed through

laughter of women, shuttle of

mentarilS, the stream of sound
was damned. The fiddles faltered
and died, the dancers stopped, as
heads swiveled towards the cor
ner of the tent, where Wacker's
office was screened by hanging
canvas. Then, with growing vol

loose again-the fiddles squeaked
