can derelictions and the lack of op-
portunity for new North-South
struggles within their own ranks.
The Republicans have failed utterly
IN their once-eager plans to exploit
the civil rights issue both for the
votes in it and the discontinue of
the Democrats.
Calmer Mood in South.
1t is failure which will plague
them in their keynote and platform
1t sends the South to the Democratic
convention in far calmer mood
than once appeared possible.
Senator Taft's Presidential ambi-
tions are in substantial part respon-
sible for omissions of the Republi-
can record. With his usual honesty
he kept complaining in his Ohio pri-
mary campaign that he ought really
to be in Washington, he was holding
up the work of the Senate. He
blamed Harold Stassen and he was
sincerely aggrieved; he thought Mr..
Stassen should have thought of that.
Senator Taft is not delegator of
authority, he hasn't the executive
temperament. Perhaps that is in
herent in Congressional leadership,
perhaps one leads or doesn't lead
But his many absences from Wash
ington clogged the wheels. Hence
the Houses greater eff1ciency-and
influence on the record. .
President Truman was asked be-
fore his departure whether he would

Prodigious efforts have been made
by the candidates to change this
national state of mind. They have
worn out an immense amount o1
shoe leather, talked themselves blue

been too small for their personal

Stassen chasing one another up ano

one not to be forgotten.

Governors are running like deer
State chairmen are deserting like q
roomful of Grover Bergdolls. Many
are using starting blocks, SO anxious
are they to quit what they consider
lost cause.
It wasn't long ago, when Mr.. Tru-
mans popularity was away up
there, that these same fugitives
from the donkey standard would
have considered it a privilege to
share the presidency with the Pres
ident. Given a chance, they would
have sent Miss Margaret Truman
bon-bons, orchids and invitations
to sing in the biggest halls IN their
towns. They would have sent Miss
Bess a new calender, a pressure
cooker, and batch Of bridge score
cards. And as for the President
well, thv would have fawned
around until they risked getting
shot out of season.
Going Down Swinging.

accused of campaigning for either
the Democrats or the Republicans,
but must take of my hat to Mr..
Truman.
He is acting like a champion. He
is going down swinging. He is play
ing out his string, no matter the
result, and that is lot more than
you can say for his alleged friends
They're rolling over like Rover.
The President is making the full
pitch, which is the way game
Americans play.
I doubt If he thinks he can win.
But he isn't quitting. The man
may have many weaknesses, but
his trip across the country with
more hostile faces than friendly
ones In the crowds which greet
him, is proof that he is a man.

Wise mothers know how to make
work seem like play. But fortunate
~ there's one household task that
every child regards an a game -
it's helping make jams and jellies.
HuIling fat, scarlet Strawberries -
particularly with q few tasting
privileges - becomes a popular
family pastime. The children really
enjoy making this luscious spread
In fact strawberry jam is favorite
with all ages. So now that sugar is
more plentiful, why not please both
young children and old by filling the
cupboard with jams and jellies. And
they'll be glad to help you, too.
Here are two interesting recipes
we think you will enjoy. The
bottled fruit pectin supplements the
lack OF natural fruit pectin in the
strawberries. Strawberries, as you
know, are very low In pectin and
pectin is the substance that makes
jelly jell and jam jam. These new
scientifically developed recipes call
for the addition of pectin in Just
the right proportion to make per.
feet sweet spread every time.
Won't you try them soon? And by
all means let your young daughter

the risk of FORGETTING Federal

His honor, the Mayor, James
Michael Curley is a most UNI
usual man. Although l have been
Republican all my life and he
a Democrat, he used to be one of
my heroes when / was a boy and
young man in Cambridge, years
ago, way back in 1912 and
through the years to 1882.
To begin with, Mayor Curley
and Mayor Edward F. Quinn Of
Cambridge were bosom friends
and Eddie" Quinn and grew
up together in Cambridge and
went to the same church on Sun
days. Eddie" Quinn used to UNI
pire our base ball games when I
played on Rindge and later on
semi-professional teams in Cam
bridge. | nthose days your color
made no difference and many
a white baseball team had one or
two colored players on it.
Well, Mr.. Curley used to come
to Cambridge like the one and
only John F. Fitzgerald who was
also Mayor of Boston at one time,
and we Cambridge boys used to
marvel at the success Of Boston
boys as they grew up and became
| interested in politics. Since I al
ways wanted to be q civil engin-
eer I left politics alone; but I
kept my eyes open and watched
it closely. Accordingly, I was
pleased in 1880 or whereabouts
when Mayor Curley gave a col
ored lawyer, Julian D, Rainey a
job as Assistant Corporation
Counsel of the City of Boston
with salary of $4,000 a year. It
was the first time in the history
of Massachusetts, that a coIored
man had ever received so large a
salary. And Of course I congrat-
ulated both Mayor Curley and
Mr.. Rainey. Not only that but /
told my friend, the late 1t. Gov.
William Youngman, "You Repub-
licans give us colored people pra-
ctically nothing nowadays; but.
look at what Mayor Curley has
done. Attorney Janse G. Wolff
also was made an assistant Cor
poration Counsel the same day at
salary of $4,000 year. So May
or Curley was tops in my book,
especially since he had made At
ty. Lucius Hicks an assistant Cor
poration Counsel in 1919.
Ii. Gov. Youngman said to me
it would have been better to have
spread the money among many
in salaries. / disagreed and ex-
planned to him that colored faith
