His memory is all I have now,
His cares are all at rest
But thankful am who today can say
I loved him and did my best.
Precious memories. how they linger,
How they ever food my soul.
In the stiffness of the midnight,
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Although your soul is now at rest
And free from care and pain.

Before you closed your eyes.
Our hearts still ache with sadness,

At the end of one sad year.
There is a land of sunshine.
Dark clouds have rolled away;
Somewhere there is no parting,
We will meet again some day.

These housing projects were
erected out of concern for the
men, women, and children who
previously resided in shelters
which were inadequate, to say
the least.
While we do not wish to
debate the point, and we express
as an opinion only: 1t seems
much better to do something
for all the people. instead of
merely handing out a few po-
%litical jobs to the favored few.
1t seems to us much more hui
name, and much more in keep
ing with the spirit of Christian
fellowship, to remove thous-
ands of people from inadequate
shelters and place them in com
Portable homes. This, we sub
nit, is a sound expression OF
regard for the people of the

Questions The Democrats;
Frazier Demands Answer
By Prentis I. Frazier

Criticism never killed anyone.
Il sometimes helps those who
are receptive to fair-suggestion.
II criticism We're fatal, the
writer Of these articles would
have long since passed to his
reward.
Applying the same formula,
this criticism will not prove
lethal to the Democrats. 1t may
help them to reorient their
views. It is calculated only to
focus attention upon an unfor-
tunate history-the history of
the democratic party's discrim-
nation against Negroes in Sc
attic, King County, and in the
State of Washington.
The figures heretofore given,
and here repeated, are not com
plete. They represent the first
hasty count of Ngroes employed
by Republican administrations
Tragically enough, the figures
indict the Democratic party
with maintaining its historic
hostility toward Negroes.
Read these figures, check
them against the record. If there
is an answer, it should be forth
coming before an unfortunate
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1950-10-19

The foregoing figures are
conservative on the side Of UNI
reinstatement. There are more
Negroes employed by republic
cans, in public service, than
these figures disclose.
To avoid being accused of
exaggeration, the present fig
ure is entirely sufficient to illus
trate the point involved, in this
There are large numbers of Ne
groes employed under the re-
publican administrations, pre-
sently in power. There were
none-at least very few Negroes
employed in public service
under the democratic regime of
John G. Stevenson, Jack Taylor
Tom Smith, and their political
associates.
These figures can not be sue
cessfully disputed. Let the dem
ocrats answer, if the figures are
in error.
There is no purpose Of in
dieting the democratic party
with a charge that cannot be
sustained. The sole purpose is
to point out the recognition
given to Negroes under both
democratic and republican adj
ministrations.
Approached from this stats
teal viewpoint, if the figures
give the democrats the worst
Of it, the democratic party can
very easily remedy this condi-
ton. They can give additional
jobs to Negroes in the depart
ments of City, County, State
and Federal government over
which the democrats now have
control.
Instead of becoming angry
because the historic record is
cited, would it not be more
gracious for the democrats to
give the Negro population of
Seattle recognition equal to
their percentage of the total
inhabitants Of the City?
The question is propounded

energy to debate purely aca-
demie issues, mostly involved
with the remote past. What the
people of the 9th district want
to know, and what they are
most likely to be concerned with
is the immediate present, and
the prospective future.
The study of history is most
interesting, and many people
enjoy going through the moldy
past. However. as a meat-and-
bread proposition, all of us are
concerned with the now and
tomorrow.
Viewed from this perspec-
tive, we invite our friends of.
the 9th district to join us in
the forward march of progress
for all of the people Of the dis
trict. Those who enjoy the com-
forts of the great housing pro-
jects, and those who are happy
to see the poor and needy
comfortable, are invited to join
us in still further effort for all
of the people.
We are greatly interested
in the general welfare of the
people of the 37th district, but
we feel it would be quite unfair
to favor a few and allow the
many to suffer in slum dis
tricts. If you join us in this
wholesome ambition, we invite
you to consider our candidates
in the November election.
With the fullest measure o I
good will for all of the people,
including those who criticize
us, we face the future with
forward-looking hope of greater
service. VIII you not consider
these facts, and join us in the

Glad to have this opportunity
to write a few lines for your
good paper, about the Demo
cratic Party. Have been an
active Democrat in this district
for oyer % years, and glad to
note that the Democratic Party

the Democrats have done for
the people in these last fifteen

up to $4,000. The Republicans
never did it though it was pro-
posed long ago, but they fought
the idea.
Federal Housing, rent con-
troll, low interest rates to enable
people to buy homes with small
down payments are among the
benefits credited to the Demo-
Gratis.

State Convention this summer.
Repeal of the Taft Hartley

Referendum No. %. This is
an insurance for workers, Gre

restriction being that the pay

To begin with it should be
made clear that democrats do
not quarrel with their fellow
Americans. We concede the
right of other men to disagree
with us, even though we some
times feel the basis of their
disagreement is not sound.

in the utmost good faith. 1t is
motivated solely by concern
for the commonweal of t h e
Negro population.
If the democratic party will
abandon its role of angry critic,
and extend the hand of fellow
ship to the Negroes of Seattle
if the democrats will give
the Negroes public jobs equal
to their percentage of the pop
ulation of the City-these ar
ticles will Immediately acclaim
the recognition. The most gen
erous praise will be extended.
This seems entirely fair. 1t
seems both equitable and just.
If this argument is defective,
cordial welcome will be accord
ed to those who point out the
mistake
The idea that it is wrong to
criticise a wrong is a stupid
answer. 1t is not acceptable on
any plane of human under
standing.
The only argument that can
answer the record, as here pre-
sented, is to correct the record
with wholesome recognition
that Negroes are Gods crea-
lures, the same as other human
beings.
Evasion of the record is
unwise and unpersuasive. The
best argument the democrats
could possibly make would be
to apologize to the Negroes
of Seattle for the democratic
failure to give the Negroes the
recognition they merit.

for any reply they wish to make
and Negroes will welcome it

Proposition &c" Saves
Money For taxpayers

MANY questions are being asked by the people about
Proposition &C." What is this ~proposal9 What does
if means to the public9 How can the individual user
Of electricity profit from the adoption of this plan?
What The Plan Involves
To answer: Proposition &C" is a proposal to con
solidate two electrical energy producing concerns. II
means a reduction in the operating cost OF the power
generating company, and a resultant saving to the users
of electrical energy.
If means an increase in the net annual income of
the City, amounting to approximately $%3-million. This
is a direct saving to the people OF Seattle. Translated
into user saving. it means a reduction in light bills.
Wasteful Duplication Will be Eliminated
The alternative to adoption of this wise proposal
is chaos. The conflict of services, the added cost OF
duplication of management, the waste of continuing two
systems, and numerous other disadvantages will be elm
mated by the adoption of Proposition CO.
On the negative side of the picture: Failure
of Proposition C. to be adopted means continued waste,
continued conflict of services.
Enterprise Endorses Proposed Consolidation
AS a user of electrical energy, The Northwest En-
terprise is interested in the adoption of Proposition "C'
because it saves money on our light and power bills.
The Northwest Enterprise endorses and approves Propo-
sition 'C'' as a wise consolidation of services, and as
a measure of economy.
maze of other issues, but every voter in Seattle owes
a duty to his pocketbook in the matter of voting for
Proposition &c" in the November election.
Saving For The Family Budget
There are two power and light producers now
operating in the Seattle market. One is privately own
ed. The other is owned by the City by the people
of Seattle. Proposition 'tC'' means bringing both
of these services under the control of the people and,
therefore, it means economy.

READER ASKS WHY THE
UN is VIOLATING
ITS CHARTER

Dear Editor:
May / ask your readers few perth
nent questions?
/. Why, in all their righteous support
for the UN, do our diplomats completely
overlook the paragraph in the UN
charter which states that under NO
conditions shall the UN interfere in the
internal affairs of any nation, but only
If one nation attacks another nation?
g. How can we, here and now, without
setting foot outside Montana, know

papers, and you, dear editor, have
shaken our faith in that source of in
formation. Why so sure that we are
being told the truth now?

4. If the issue is communism as so
many seem to think, what good is it
going to do for our boys to be so hor-
nibly and callOusly sacrificed to stop
a small leak in the dyke elf they cam
while we do nothing about the Niagara
80 times as great on either side?
5. How often do the people who obli-
gingly fear communism in the name of
religion (to immense advantage of the
capitalists who fear communism in the
name of profits) ponder the 4th chapter
of Acts where it says: And the great
had all thing in common and dis
tribution was made unto every man &C
cording as he had need"
In a famous poem the Roman soldier
sneered at Christ's religion, saying:
But He taught doctrines that surely
would upset the world, so he (P1late)
killed Him to be rid of Him" The Rom
ans killed thousands of His followers
who presumably tried to practice this
dangerous doctrine briefly mentioned
in Acts 4, and by terror and by guile
forced them to give up the doctrine.
Now, after 1000 years, if the peoples
Of the world adopt the same doctrine
without benefit of clergy-my last
question:

force?-even with the followers of the
gentle Nazarene ranged on the side of
Romans of Wall Street?

More important, Locke's work has
already had profound effect. There
is nationwide turmoil about the way
in which multiplicity of agencies
are fouling up resources development.
In New England, the Arkansas, the
Colorado, the Columbia and other
valleys there are demands for inte-
grated rather than patchwork de-
velopment The crusade for MVA
started much of this. Material which
Colonel Jerome Locke prepared will
be found threading through reports
of Public Affairs Institute, the Hoov-
er Commission, the Library of Con-
gress Reference Bureau land soon
through the National Water Policy
Commission report. Locke's work
has already started things that will
never quit kicking around until this
nation adopts a sane, orderly APP
proach to resources development.
While he's catching fish at Thompson
Falls next month, he will also, through
his past work, be helping to build
a stronger nation.
One more point: the impression
should not be left that Jerry has
retired. Some may have that impress
sion. Jerry might even think so him
self. But if Jerry is lacking anything,
it is inability to keep out of the fray.
I'll give you odds that he's in the
thick of the first hot fight over MVA,
eva or resources development that
comes within 500 miles of Prospect
Valley.
Pm happy that this occasion arose
so some of us can pay tribute to
Jerry-it is long past due. But [
wouldn't put Jerry on the inactive
list on his own solemn instructions.
If we carry any of our earthly at
tributes with us into the Great Be
yond, l fully anticipate that some
