IT A MAN DIE—
T»y Dr. Charles Stelzle
If a man di;» '••.hall h*>
again? N«* — .eea ise
never die: 'i im. s someth,
man that lives forever
You aer the same man that !
yon wei twenty years ago, but j
ycur 1 dy has been replaced
several limes during this period.
Your brain is rebuilt twice each
year.
But memory remained with
you clear through this trans
formation.
Nothing is ever destroyed,
coal burns but the ashes and
smoke and gases precisely equal
the original balk — they have
simply taken on another form.
Argn'ng from the indestructi
bility of matter can you believe
that memory and heart treas
ure and soul cultture perish?
When a tree has borne leaves
and fruit, its work is done. But
not even the wisest man who
ever Mved hat1 finished his work
whc • ‘‘death’' came — he was
.ins', oeginningto understand.
Can this be all of life for him?
Is there nothing left but a hole
; in the ground? Dees this seem
in harmony wih God’s method,
which in everyth' lg else brings
* us on from glory o glory?
Many of man’s facilities are
li <e unwrapped tools in a chest
- -< examined, unnamed— wait
i .g for use in a futur world.
We know that perfection can
not be realized in the present
world—there must be something
ahead — the immortality which
will permit us to see the fulfil
ment of our dreams
And this new world would be
incomplete without those who
struggled to bring men nearer
to perfection t in the present
World.
Government Should Match
Negro loyalty With
Justice and Fair Play
By Dr. Emmett J. Scott
America has been described
fas a founain of human hopes
and individual opportunity.
It is presumed to nurture the
hopes and aspiraions of the
humblest man, woman and child,
an 1 to provide opportunities
for growth materialv, cultural
ly and spirit)
IIow f. * sh t has
Its duty and responsil. ,i
this regar< is the measure > .3
neglect < its largest minority
group
It'* hopes are suppressed,
fcti- d, ignored, shattered by a
race tradition which seeks to re
duce it to a status of permanent
inferiority.
Opportunities for advance
ment are grudgingly given. The
aspiration to emerge from the
class pattern is met with pre
mediated discouragement. In
many sections of our country
ihoso aspirations are thwartde
uo a >rutu. and unashamed
frankness which belies the tradi
tions of democracy and every
precedent of liberty and equality.
In other sections, professedly
fairer, the group is consistent
ly ignored as though it were
not a part of the body politic,
and as though it had no inherent
right to the enjoyment of privi
leges and opportunities fitiely
accorded others.
The bar sinister of race and
color consigns it to the negligible
participation in affairs of govern
ment, city state and nation ,and
in the common pursuits of our
enlightened citizenship.
These things should not be.
They cannot continue if Ameri
ca is to realize its manifest
destiny and rise to the supreme
heights of that graudeur
beautifully painted in song and
story by our orators and writers
and our historical novelists.
To catalogue these ills is to
recite endless, unenviabl pages
of Amrican history. These are
known to every intelligent mar
and woman in this country, and
even to school children who, in
in too many instances are being
trained in Schools of Intolerance
which disgrace our American
ism. and contrbute to national
disunity at a time when every
at and utterance should be at
tuned to the harm: nies of na
tional unity and national secur
ity.
Concretely: at this time of all
| times when our loins are gird
ed about with determination t<
resist tin* encroachment Of
every ism except Ameriacnism,
our country is not only beset
with subversive activities, direc
ted by saboteurs and alien
groups, but also by a hardened
species of bigotry which is deny
ing to this Negro group a fair
ohance and opportunity t<»
cooperate patriotically in those
programs of preparedness which
have first call upon our energies
and our best intelligence.
Effort after effort fails to
break down the walls of prejud
ice and industrial tradition.
Billons and billons of dollars are
being spent, and are to be spent.
* ’ " ‘ r tanks, planes and
ships, and the numberless ins
truments of modern warfare.
There are desperate shortages
of skilled labor and bottle-neck;;
are choking the life out of our
hurried preparations in defense
industry.
Government money is financ
ing all or most of this prepara
tion is as powerless to cure these
conditions as it is to regulate
labor unions, and their reckless
charging of abnormal fees for

the privilege of working on de
fense projects.
Aji overwhelming sense of
justice and fair play should sub
merge these practices especially
i at a time when Negro youth and
Negro effort are being concen
scripted in the army.
Negro loyalty is no new thing.
i It has always been laid on the
altar of national peril. It will
| respond now as in the long
j years from the founding of the
I Republic.
Such spirit and loyalty should
be matched by a great govern
ment with equal magnanity of
spirit and justice and fair p'ay.
