REPUBLICANS
GOOD FOR TWO
STRIKES
AGAINST HEM ARE A HIT, NO
RUNS, AND MANY ERRORS
SAYS PARTY LEADER

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - The
Republicans party has record OF
lone hit, no runs, and many errors
in its performance on FEPC a d
other civil rights issues of vital inn
portance to the colored electoral, re-
Gently declared Robert r. Church,
chairman of the Republican Ameri-
can committee.
In a letter to Guy G. Gabrielson,
chairman of the Republican Nationa
committee, Church declared that the
Republican party has not won a
presidential election since the color
ed electorate deserted the party.
Therefore, he urged the new chair
man to place some Negroes in policy
forming positions and on the Re-
publican strategy committee.
These principles, he said, should
square with the principles OF Abra'
ham Lincoln, the man who made
Republicans a great national party.
But a statement of principles alone
is not enough, continued Church.
The Republican party has had state
ments OF principles since 1882, dur
ing which time it has lost five pres
idential elections and eight out OF
9 congressional elections.
While Lincoln was good on prin-
, ciples, he was better on performance
warned Church, and the party to-
day needs a record on performance
that will bring voters back into the
party - not drive them out a d
keep them out. Church disagreed
violently with the recent sugges'
ton made by Senate Minority lead
er Sherry of Nebraska that the Re-
publican strategy committee favor
ed putting other civil rights mea-
sures ahead Of FEPC. This would
be a costly mistake as 1t would
mean torpedoing FEPC, declared
the American committee chairman.
For millions who compromise the
Colored Electorate, FEPC means
bread and butter, eat on the table,
rent, shoes for the baby. and clothes
for all, declared Church. These
people are entitled to fair employ
ment practices and to equal job OPP
portunities; therefore, FEPC for
them is literally a life and death
matter.
II the Republicans are sincere in
their desire TO win the 1850 and
1852 elections, declared the COP
leader. they should begin the new
year by competing with the Truman
Democrats in the good work Of max.
FEPC a law before the primaries
and elections Of 1850. II they do
these things, Church predicts a Re-
publican victory in the oncoming
elections.

The owner Of cotton mill

could buy their necessities. Pretty
soon somebody else started a mar

ANOTHER PILGRIM
GOES HOME
By HAMPTON OSBORNE

Daniel Boone Stanley, better
known as Daniel Boone" has
left the hill country for a coun-
try of brighter scenes.
There is little doubt that he
was better known in Dickinson
County than any other who ever
lived here. He is also widely
known in parts of Wise and Buch
anan counties in Virginia and in
Pike and Letcher counties in Ken
lucky.
Boone was familiar figure at
gatherings, especially those Of
religious nature such as baptismal
and other church services. Of
course he was unfortunately of
an immature mind and went
through life with a mental devel-
opment of a child of probably
eight years of age. He did have a
remarkable memory, especially
concerning dates from one year to
the next of religious meetings.
Any Sunday he could mention
several churches which were hold
ing some kind of services on that
day. He had wonderful memory

Is the City Responsible
For the Grassy Strip
Along the Sidewalk?

A man was walking home one
evening when he decided it would
be nice to take a few steps on the
grassy strip between sidewalk and
curb. Unfortunately, the city had
water meter there, half-hidden in
the grass and covered with only a
flimsy piece of wood. The man
stepped ON the cover, broke through,
and fell to the ground. Injured, he
sued the city for damages. The
city argued that the man should
have stayed on the sidewalk" but
the court disagreed and allowed
the claim. The judge said that
pedestrians have a perfect right
to walk on that strip if they feel
like it, and therefore the city is
responsible for keeping it in safe
condition.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
EDITORIAL COMMENT

About 5000 people are at this
time qualified to vote in Dicken-
son County. If 1000 of them get
to the polls, it will be good
turnout. Probably 5000 could have
got themselves in shape to vote.
What kind of democracy is this?
The poll tax keeps some people
from voting, but it doesn't ac-
count for nearly all of those who
don't go to the polls. One precinct
worker recently said in disgust
that half the voters in his COM
nunity would not willingly pay
their poll taxes and would not
come to the election unless a good
car were sent for them. They
wouldn't, he said, ride in a jalopy
Or a truck. That may be am ex-
treme example, but at least hall

The bulk of the people in our
community are simply not inter-
ested in politics. A great many Of
them look on it as crooked
game, played by politicians for
the spoils of office. Even if this
were the correct view Of it, who
is responsible? The people have,
at the very least, the power OF
changing their elected officers.
If the people took an interest in
their government, their officers
would be more responsible. Afte,
all, we live in a democracy. A
democracy can't run just of itself
The people have to keep on their
toes to make it work. That is your
responsibility and mine, and it is
serious one.
