never known a human being who
loved more than this, my friend
and loving while he lived, now
that he has parted, he is still be-

grave swallow up our memory
or death rob all remembrance of

scatter the sunshine of love.
At the Ministers Union the
chair introduced me warmly in

my remembrance that he once
presided over this same body, re-
calling a joke and saying that
while he lived he beamed sun
shine on that body.
To crown it all, the Undertaken

cemetery where his bones lay.
I knew not where he was buried

stopped his car at the evact spot

What Is meant by the doctrine
of human equality is likely to be
misunderstood or misrepresented,
Thus, Mr.. WeStbrook Pegler, in
the NEW YORK JOURNAL AM
ERICAN for october 23rd, writes,
''Offhand I can think Of no more
hypocritlcal fraud on the people
of the United States than the
selfjnfhcted doctrine Of equality
among and between mankind.
Not one person in a million be-
lieves in this. Even those few who
do so believe qualify their att
tude with elaborate explanatory
notes . . However, It does not
follow that even these subscribers
believe in universal equality Of
persons, the dirty and the clean,
the lazy and the diligent and so
forth"
Essentially cynical, even I'M
pudent, as this remark is, we
may disregard the motive which
prompted it and proceed to set
the record straight.
In the first place, the princi-
pie of human equality has moth
ing to do with whether a man is
clean or dirty, brave or cowardly,
educated or ignorant. 1t goes
deeper than that. Human equal
ity is a truth whose origin is in
nature-decreed by natures God.
Our forefathers knew this. "All
men are created equal" they
wrote in the Declaration of IN
dependence equal in their
souls - equal in the kind of life
which Is theirs as men equal
in that which makes them all
members of the human family
wherever they may be, what
ever they may be by race, reli-
gion, or color. The same rational
soul, the same life which is COM
mon to man, and only to man, Is
the equal possession of all -
white and colored, Catholic and
Protestant, Jew and Gentle, rich
and poor, educated and ignorant,
Hrtuous and wicked, clean and
dirty.
In the second place, human
equality means that men are 50
made that they posses rights =
and posses them equally. Chr
forefothers knew that. All men
endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights" they
wrote In the Declaration Of IN

print, worship, love, marry, beget,
rear and educate children are
rights which belong to men be

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

THE ROYAL WEDDING of
Princess Elizabeth and the Duke
of Edinburgh was considered vi
tally important last week in the
news Of the world. GREAT BRI-
TAIN at one time ruled three
fourths of the world and accord
ing to Churchill, she has not yet
surrendered her Empire aims in
spite of temporary losses. Time
will tell.
AFRICA, the worlds second
LARGEST CONTINENT, watched
the worlds reaction to the we'd
ding last week. Africa is slated
to become England's NEW En-
pire line OF defense, major pro-
ducer of food and fats, and At
RIGA contains atomic minerals of
major proportions to strengthen
British military power of the fu-
ture. ROYAL FAMILY visit to
Africa preceded the at least tenn
porary freedom of INDIA. RE
forms were implied If not prom
iSed. Vast tracts of Africa will be
cultivated for foodstuffS for Bri-
tain and some natives will be
schooled and trained for defense
OF Empire. This is all previously
published news. There is no Sc
cret about it.
LIBERIA is among the African
sea and airline centers slated to
be geared for Western Power
needs. ETHIOPIA already has
many surprising modem improve
mentS. The demand for skilled
workers and machinery in Africa
will increase. The IMPORTANCE
of Africa in the balance of world
affairs is already being acknowl-
edged. An enemy in possession of
Africa would threaten the Amer
icaS overnight.
THE GERMANS would have
won two world wars had the
African natives deserted the Al
lies. In world war one, Germany
owneo Togo, Kamerun, German
East and Southwest Africa. But
the natives joined the Allies. In
world war two, with France fall
len and Britain PROSTATE, Hitler
again tried to seize Africa so as
to control South America and in
wade our nation. Again the AT
ricans remained loyal.
THE DANGER WE escaped
when Africans refused to join the
Axis is not yet fully comprehend
ed by this nation. Hitler, in con-
| troll of Africa would have Joined
with the Japs in Asia, and prob
ably beat us to the atomic bomb,
Military experts still picture AT
RIGA as a buffer defense against
any drive from the East.
FRENCH AFRICAN TROOPS,
including the Senegalese, were
among the best Western Power
defense troops in two world wars.
These troops would not desert
the Allies, even otter France fell.

TODAY, THE STATUS of the

trodden and evilly EXPLOITED
African native is bound to come
up for major world considera-
ton. Reforms are long overdue.
Africa is like a huge crossword
puzzle with SO percent of the
pieces owned and controlled by
foreign powers. Should Africa be-
come cynical of our many church
missions, we can only blame our
selves. This is what happend to
the British in the Far East.
THE REFORMS for Africa and
her people must be faced. A few
men of various churches have
tried, only to be defeated by ex-
ploiters. TouSsaint L'Ouverture
entertained the idea of a free
Africa in his day and was jailed.
Most readers will recall Marcus
Garvey in our day who also tried
and was jailed. Garvey's ideas
were not i'll acceptable, but his
plan for free Africa was honest
and sound.

ed an independent African Dem
ocracy with black nations pos
seSsing their own counSry and
trading with the rest Of the world
on equal terms and equal free
doms might have been just a
Joke" to some people. But Gar
vey's idea frightened the Empire
and it constantly kept him in
hot water to the very end. ~
THE EMPIRE DID like the
phase of the Carney progrom to
ship some skilled colored Ameri-
cans abroad to develop Africa for
further exploitation. The Bilbos
and similar Dixocrats also liked
this part of the plan. On this
particular phase, Carney received
most of his publicity and encour-
agement. You know why.

BRITISH SOURCES have re-
Gently been quoted as advocating
that our nation send colored Am
orleans to Africa for the purpose
of contributing toward the fu-
ture rebuilding of Empire. Sena-
tor Bilbo was among those here
who pushed this plan. There may
be others and one might expect
| to hear more.
THERE ARE MEN who, given
power, would essay to ship COL
ored Americans abroad just as
they have shipped Jews into for
eign lands and Irish Catholics to
Australia. But the solution of
Africa's problems can only come
from equality and Justice for all
men. The royal wedding last
week was beautiful but we must
religiously hope thai the Royal
Family PAYS AFRICA for those
! glittering jewels. The bill is a
long one and the people are get

son FOR 4 MILL IN.
CREASE OVER 10

The City Commission approv.
ed a tax rate of 24.9 mills fol
1897 at special meeting hello
Thursday at 5 p. m., at the City
Hal. The new rate marks an in
crease from the 24.5-mill rate OF
1876. Authorized through an en-
Urgency measure. the new levy
went into effect Immediately up.
On passage.
Also approved by the Commits
sion was an amendment to Or
dinance 38l. setting beer and
wine license fees. The amend
ment raises the cost of city beer
and wine vending licenses from
SIS Ia $50. Vendors not allowing
consumption on the premises,
however, may secure licenses for
S25.
The increase in the tax rate
came shortly after published re-
port to the effect that City FL
nance DIRECTOR Comptroller
Charles Roberts favored a low
az tax rate. Mayor w. w. De-
merritt had opposed the recon-
mendatiOn on the ground that the
city cannot realize Improvement
and high standard services with
lower taxes.
The reason for the higher tax
rate. however, City Manager o.
j. s. Ellingson said, is the lower
total assessed valuation which
the city has. The I947 total valu-
alton is Sl0.l72,425 as compared
with Sl0.496.237. Consequently to
meet the $4,000 required for
operation of the city. a rate of
20 mills was deemed necessary,
an increase from the rate of
1925 mills needed for operation
last year.
To provide the $77,290.78 need
ed for debt service, levy of 4.9
mills Is required, compared with
the SIS mills used last year
Mayor Demeritt at first objected
"a a lower debt service levy but
when informed of the higher to-
tai levy over the higher total of
lD46. readily assented to the new
figures.
The city manager brought out
that the city would realize $ll2,-
900 more in property taxes, but
for meste exemptions
amounting to S5.6ll,4l0. A total
at S577, $50 in homestead exemp-
tions was declared during the
