The basic reason that our

practically everyone about us.
They have given us the OPP

of some good which in the

lives richer; or they have
blessed our lives more direct

their part.
"As we gather here in this
hallowed place and find rest
and refreshment from the

doubtless have surrounded the
lives of each of us, let us be
mindful that He who gave
us this day and who gave us

His. We are in His care. In

The anti-colored conspiratI

only Chief Executive to buck

split his party rather than
keep silent on his recommen-

Colored Americans.
THE system has been aided
by northern Democrats who
seek party unity as they plav

rights of Colored citizens as
the joker card.
THE system is also aided
by the Republicans who seek
support for their program and
who also continue to hone

A veteran Ohio reporter de-

nonsense to let Gov. Frank
Lausche muddy the political
waters in that key State so
that neither Gov. Lausche's
own party nor his Republican
opposition can make valid
plans for 1856.
The reporter had no diff
ficulty getting an appointment

the latter taciturn. The trou-
