BENSON Assistant Manager and Editor Entered as Second-class matter July 2, 1948. at the Postoffice at Phoenix, Arizona, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Worth Repeating We ore giving our readers the benefit of this letter written by Mr. A. % L. Cheek to the editor of the Arizona Republic, be cause it expresses facts about labor and the two political parties; Mr. Cheek's letter follows: Editor, The Arizona Republic: "Recently, I wa; asked why I am such a firm Democrat. The turncoat who asked me was so impressed with my answer, he asked me to send it to the newspapers. I am not a Democrat because of the 'you never had it so good routine.' Although anyone should be able to figure rten 50-cent dollars are worth more than one 90-cent dollar. I am a Democrat because I am a sound believer in democ racy. I believe the strongest phase of democracy is the unity (and power) of collective bargaining. I know from experience that under the Republican regime, unity was never permitted. And not until the end of 'the rabbit-eating Hoover days' did the American working class have the privilege of exercising their democratic right of unity. Today, in any vocation or profession, man has the right to organize. Twenty-five years ago for two workers to collabo rate was unethical; for three, sheer mutiny. In 1930, I watched my father take jobs without asking he pay. To ask the pay, was a sure way of not getting the job. Fourteen years later, he had four sons fighting a war to protect the democracy he didn't get. All because he was a poor man. The strongest phase of democracy is the rights of the little man. I see these rights fading under a party that has never been for the little man. Did you kndw that Webster defines a Democrat a s one who believes in democracy? I have finally decided why Republicans are shouting, 'Support the man! Support the Man!' They themselves know their own party is not worth supporting." A. L. CHEEK What Mr. Cheek say s about himself is true of every work ing man in America today. If we are enjoying better wages or better working conditions whatever race we belong to we can thank the party of Roosevelt, Truman, Senator McFarland, and Dick Adams. If working people continue to enjoy these benefits it will be because they do not forget that the Democratic Party not only has not fought labor but has always tried to give labor a chance to fight for better things. Prosperous working people mean a prosperous Nation. The Republicans and Gover nor Pyle have never found that out. statement required by the ACT OF AUGUST 24, 1912, AS AMENDED BY THE ACTS OF MARCH 3. 1933, AND JULY 2, 1946 (Title 39, United States Code, Sec tion 233) SHOWING THE OWNER SHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIR CULATION OF Arizona Sun published weekly at T’hoenix, Arizona for September 30, 1954. 1.

When some of the brilliant, daring, white leaders of today take the stand for Negro rights as forcefully as some of the abolitionists, the American | way of life will have more appeal. No one can minimize the efforts of those members of state legisla tures who voted for FEPC laws. It would also be hard to over-esti mate the good done by some mod ern liberals who have taken a stand for rights in the face of fierce opposition. Former Presi dents Roosevelt and Truman, along with President Eisenhower are ex amples of far-sighted individuals who are really selling our way of life. Each one seems to have gone a little further than his predeces sor in instituting civil rights. How ever, it is just possible that none of them has gone far enoguh to convince many doubters that they unquestionably believe in our way of life. The millions of colored peo ple over the world who some day might have the balance of power in determining whether the world will be free or slave are watching and forming opinions. If we had some stalwarts of the calibre of Benjamin Lundy. Elijah P. Lovejoy, William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, the world would be convinced that some strong-hearted Americans actually believe in democracy. Consider the frail and handicapped Benjamin Lundy. He was so opposed to racial injustice that he sold a lucrative business to devote all of his time to opposing slavery. One winter he walked all the way from: Balti more, Maryland, to Bennington, Vermont, to get help in freeing slaves. Anyone not familiar with the lives of Wendell Phillips and Wil liam Lloyd Garrison would do well to get copies of their lives and learn of their deeds. Men of that calibre help to give us faith in the goodness of men. They sacrificed wealth, position and friends in or der to demonstrate their faith in our way of life. The twentieth century has pro duced no leaders of their stature. If a few are developed, they can do a great deal toward preserving the free world. Let us pray that God sends us a few.

The Family Roundtable By ELGIVA BALL NEW YORK, .(Global) Dear Miss Ball: I have been living with a d-if ferent group of people since I came to New York. It all started because •of my job and because I was so lonely. Now, I have met a very niee young man and he wants to marry me. But I have a problem. The young man doesn’t know that I am of a different race. If I tell him the truth, he may change his mijid. You see, I do love him very much. If I do not tell him, then I will be unable to keep in touch with my family. I’m torn between two extremes. Why does life have to do these things to us? What should I do? Ellen, New York Dear Ellen: Your problem is one that many people have faced. Each person must solve it for himself. It all de pends upon your own way of think ing, your values, and family ties. However, in large cities and in present-day living, it is not neces sary to hide your race. There is much intermarriage and besides, you have a racial background of which you should be extremely proud. Denying your origin and marry ing the fellow will cause you many heartaches and much worry. Also, you will live in constant fear of being recognized. One lie calls for more, and so it goes. I suggest you read the story: “Lost Boundary” before making a final decision.

Enrollment hit its highest peak in the history of the school with 5,002 students which, breaks ASC’s previous records. Last year’s enrollment was 4,578. Many new faces are seen on the campus. Every student has that “Go-Get- It” spirit, and a big smile of con tentment. Every girl thinks of the time when she will join the sorority her choice, and also when she be comes an outstanding woman her community. The time has corwe for her t;o consider which of thettr Greek organizations she finds most appropriate. Last Sunday the Alpha Alpha gave its annual Rushee Tea. Many candidates were present.
