was particularly inept. It is
my belief that Mr.. Shipley,
like most of the persons re-
presenting leadership Of the
Republican Party, has relied
too long and too strongly on
the fact that Abraham Lin
coin freed the slaves. This
can be best characterized by
a remark made in the daily
press that Luke C.. Moore,
nominee for the U. S. Mar
shal's job, was the first
Negro nominated for that
position since Frederick Dou-
glaS whose nomination and
appointment was during the
Reconstruction Days imme-
diately after the Civil War.
Mr.. Douglas appointment as
U. S. Marshal for the District
of Columbia was no doubt
politically inspired as is Mr..
Kennedy'S nomination of Mr..
Moore.
It appears that Mr.. Ken
nedy recognizes the human
dignity, the ability and the
sincerity of the individual.
1t is natural that the press
would comment about the
race Of an appointee when
the particular job has never
been held by a Negro or has
not been held by a Negro
since the Reconstruction era.
Mr.. Kennedy is undoubt-
edly good for this country in
that, by making appoint
mentS to qualified Negroes,
he is, in effect, telling the
Republican Party that in or
der for it to compete politi-
cally in this country and in
the District of Columbia, it
is necessary that that party
recognize the abilities, the
Skills and the rights of Ne
groes in the area of Job OPP
portunity, housing opportu-
nifty and voting rights.
If one is critical of his own
party first. then and only
then does he have a right to
criticize another party. Con-
structive criticism is needed
in politics as well as in other
areas of human existence.
This Is an appeal to all Re-
publicans not to forsake the
party with which they have
aligned themselves but to
constructively and actively
analyze the leadership of that
party. They should wage a
fight to change that leader

HER NAME WAS SOJOURN.

PAUL.. $50 PIP. appleton.
Century Crofts) $4.95.
Sometime around 1913, So
journer Truth was born into
slavery at Stone Ridge, New
York, under conditions as
CHASTITY as could be found. In
voluntary servitude for all
persons over 40 was abolished
in New York as of July 4,
1917; the younger slaves were
to be free a decade later.
In 1918, her freedom was
bought by one Isaac Van
Wagner who when addressed
as Master" said, Your Mas
ter is mine" About a year
later, she sued for return of
a child Illegally sold before
she had been free. She was
the first Negro to bring and
win such a suit in the State.
Some years later, she was
involved with a strange leli-
gtous fanatic Cor fraud
Robert Matthews, known as
Matthias the Prophet. This
brought her into a maze of
legal complications in the
course Of which she sued a
white man for SANDER. She
won. and the victory was an
other landmark in the light
for Negro rights.
This is the woman whose
story Is told in Hertha Pauli's
Her Name Was Sojourner
Truth" These twin legal VIC
tories are a small part of the
story, and however impress
SlVe they may seem today.
not even a vital part.
FOR THE ESSENCE of the
story begins around 1841
when this remarkable woman
shed her legal name, Isa-
bella Van Wagner, and, obey
ing a voice, went out into
the world to preach the
Word as Sojourner Truth.
She was closely associated
with the Abolitionists. Yet.
as Miss PAUL. points out, she
had not been active in the
Underground Railway"
SoJourner could not read
the Word that she preached
You read, but God himself
talks to me-" she said. She
would probably not have used
the term had it been in
existence then, but her creed
was non-violence. the natu-
raj result of the doctrine of
Christian love.
Shortly after the bred
Scott decision, a protest
meeting in Boston was ad-
dressed by Frederick Doug
lass, one of the greatest
Negro leaders of the 18th
century.
ut must come to blood
Douglass prophesied, and the
blood drawn in the land must
no longer be colored blood
only. Black men must fight
for themselves, and redeem
themselves, or it would never
be done!"
Douglass reached his pero-
ration. They (the Negroes)
have no hope Of justice from
the whites, no possible hope
except in their own right
arms :"
1.-The hall was deathly
still. A tall, dark woman had
risen in the front row, facing
Douglass.
Frederick she asked, is
God dead?'"
And so, in a real sense, this
illiterate woman whose great
spirit and keen mind made
her the associate of the most

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
A HroiIbIozer for Neqro Riqhts
BY DONALD MINTZ

England, was a spiritual an
cestor of those who devised
the modern watchword Love,
Law, Liberation"
AS a matter Of fact, So
journer Truth was something
of a Freedom Rider herself .
Her every trip to Washing
ton was marked by running
fights with streetcar drivers,
conductors and Infatuated
passengers. When a driver ig-
nored her signal, she yelped.
Want to Ride!' in a voice
that stopped traffic. Or she
got on by surprise, resisted
attempts to eject her, and
rode further than she had to,
so as to make the most of her
experience. Bless God! I've
had a ride she would ex-
claim when she got Off"
MISS PAUL., the sister of
the Nobel Prize physicist,
Wolfgang PAUL., has written
of Sojourner Truth with
rather more love than skill.
The chronology is often diff
ficult to untangle, the char
acters are not always suffi-
GENTLY identified and details
are obscure. But the reader
pushes on, too drawn bv the
in tie nse magnetism of the
subject to be very particular
about the book as such.
Sojourner Truths message
remains vital. Miss PAUL. tells
about a talk to a children's
Sabbath School meeting in
Battle Creek.
"She said the spirit of the
Lord bade her use this occa-
sion to talk to so many chill
dren at once about the sin
of prejudice. She would be
brief. 'Chillun, who made
your skin white? Warn't it
God? Who made mine black?
Warn't it the same God?' She
paused. Now, chillun re-
member what Sojourner
Truth told you, and learn to
love the colored chillun, that
you may all be chillun of
your Father in heaven!'

Dental diseases take an enormous

Dr. Friend is a graduate of Po-

graduate of the Baltimore College
of Dental Surgery in 1852 He has
informed in Oral Surgery and
served as Resident in Oral Surgery
in 1856 at the University of Louis
willie.
DR. Friend pointed out that den
lists had a definite role and re-
sponsibility in the future strength
of America, and that the effective
ness of lifelong dental health to
most patients would depend upon
what the dentists did today.
Organized dentistry has made
tremendous progress in prevention
and control of dental diseases bit
yet 95 percent of the population
suffers from dental disease in the
form of dental decay.
THE size of the dental disease
problem in the United States

popularity contest but am try
ing To- push my educational
program in North Carolina and
need enough popularity to get
the program accepted by the
people" Sanford said.
In answer to the question as
to what platform he thought
The next gubernatorial candi-
oates would run on he said ne
believed that road bond issue
would be considered by some
candidates and that some might
run on a platform of repeating
the food tax. But they will
find that our educational pro-
gram cannot go on without the
Income from the food tax" he
said.
He indicated that there might
also be a candidate running or
the racial issue but expressed
hope that this didn't haDpen.
Ec noted that the State was
making progress IN the mod
alton field as it applies to the
races and said he didn't be-
liCve that additional laws
would help in the racial prob
lem. He said the people would
simply grow into better racial
understanding as time goes on
end that progress would be
made as il has in recent years.
In answer to questions con-
corning the apparent rise of
the Republican party in the
State, Sanford said that il was
inevitable that the Republicans
should grow. He pointed out
that not too many grandpar-
cnts are left TO tell children Of
the reconstruction era in which
the Southern Democrats were
born into a one party system
and that the great depression
is far enough away that folks
are about TO forget about it. He
said that history would show
that the two party system
would grow. He noted that his
Republican opponent for Gov
crnor two years ago pollcd As
rerccnt of the vote.
He also noted that the States
economic growth last year was
ebout three and one half times
greater than the national aver
age and believes this progress
will continue.
