State College gridiron season with twenty-six men reporting for practice—the smallest squad of any year during the last decade. The backfielu is intact with few changes from last year’s set-up, witn the exception of Joseph (Smokey Joe) Owens, flashy bone crushing back of Little Rock who has finished four years on the gridiron, and June “Ike” Moon, bully-hipped halfback who has not reported for practice. This, however, is a small matter. The real headache that Coach Taylor has to overcome is the handicap of an entire line with the exception of two men. The remainder of last year’s line was lost through graduation and the remaining two have not reported to date. In face of these facts, Mento Taylor is quite pessimistic and states that the outlook is very poor-the opening clash with Lane College coming on Saturday, September 23rd.

BENEFACTORS

In order for good to express its true value there must be a present evil. Nature has so ordained that light dissipates darkness; truth destroys error and the shining sun, casting its rays over the debris after the storm, gives hope anew to the forlorn traveler. One who will take the time to visit the Jefferson Memorial will see the relics of tortue of those dark ante helium days—anklets, handcuffs and chains for holding in bondage men and women who were considered unruly because

they had sought liberty.

To our mind the most inhuman act in the history of St. Louis was the lynching, by burning, of Wm. McIntosh at 10th and Market streets in 1837. McIntosh, a free Negro, slashed a peace officer who attempted to arrest him for a misdemeanor. An infuriated mob poured out all of its vitriolic hate against its victim who pleaded to be shot. The mob answered his pleas with jeers and laughs and made a larger fire to consume his body. Judge Luke E. Lawless of the St. Louis Circuit Court very learnedly declared that the deed was done by “parties unknown.” It was the fearless denunciation of this dastardly deed by the young Elijah Lovejoy that aroused the mob to compel him to leave St. Louis and go to Alton, Illinois where he was murdered. The writer intends to name again and again these heroes who have sacrificed life, home and friends

for humanity’s sake.

There was a man who lived in this community during the early part of the 19th century who was called a religious fanatic—and so was Jesus and Paul and many of the Christian men and women of our own era who have given a cup of cold water, a morsel of bread or a kind word to a weaker brother. It is said that this man believed that everyone should be taught how to read the Bible and he defied the drastic laws and taught black men, both slave and free. James Milton Turner says that this man was his teacher and that he was sent to prison. Grateful appreciation of such noble deeds a ! s this should be told to white and colored school children and perhaps this soldier of peace, whose name is unknown, would receive more appreciation and even have a monument erected to his memory, when ■ truth finally receives a hearing. A conscientious and fearless, white woman Miss Salley, came here from Cincinnati, Ohio and served as a teacher for colored children. She also was sent to

decree of fate that those who have scaled the mountain heights of adversity; they who have kept their heads above the waves when the sea was roughest; he who has not let the old flag touch the ground, is a witness to what God has wrought. Daily we have evi-

dences of cooperation. Never before in the history of the United States of America has the executive branch of the government shown such an impartial spirit toward all of its citizens. There have been many handicaps and many obstacles in the way but the •faithful have kept an alert and steady- march onward and upward. To those who gave our fathers their benediction, to those of our benefactors who toiled in season and out for human rights, peace be unto ,your ashes. You disconsolate and misguided fellow, if you would help and not hinder, unite with us in these interracial efforts, be consistent and honest in your endeavors and you will help America to demonstrate her ideals.

To stand on that higher ground of truth, one must come to realize the great sacrifices that these benefactors paid in order that America might realize and establish its ideals in the hearts of its people. Chaucey I. Filley, the Postmaster in St. Louis, who in the seventies broke down the economic barrier that kept colored men out of the mail service in this city should be remembered and revered. Mr. Filley, when told by enemies of progress .that they would not accept mail from black hands, reminded them that they would either accept it from black hands or come to the Post

Office and get it.

The friends who have stood for right throughout the years have increased rather than diminished. These things were not accomplished without much persecution. Many of us who complain are not familiar with the road that has been trod. And then there is the perpetual whiner who does not see any good in anything. But serfdom and misery, shame and eternal heritage of any race or any nation. However, it is the

3 East St. Louis Boys Go To Wiley

By Watch Harvey MARSHALL, Tex. Sept. 19.— Gloom prevailed in the camp of the Wiley Wildcats when after a week of practice only twentynine candidates have turned out for the 1939 edition of the erstwhile famous Purple and White eleven. The loss of Bissant, Yanthis, Hurt, Chandler and Brown, through graduation had been expected, but when only three of the eight remaining letter men showed up to say nothing of three missing capable reserves from lasit season’s squad, it is quite apparent that the local coaching staff is much perturbed. Hicks, Jerry Johnson and Bill Carr, ends of the ’38 eleven apparently have decided to go elsewhere, while “Peewee” Patten, the giant Ardmore tackle, and Czar Ingram, the freshman sensation at right half have not been heard from. These letter men were being expected to form the neucleus of the Methodists forward wall. Bill Baker, the big Lufkin guard, Leroy “Blimp” Arceneaux, the 225 pound tackle from Port Arthur, and John Brooks, the big Fort Worth end, are also missing. These men figured proininemly in the plans for 1939. :Note—Three E. St. Louis boys are; put for the team—Roscoe Robinson, Howard Langford, and Johii HoweU. ¥

sociated Women Students, Pasadena, Calif., on behalf of the student body presented the honored guest with a beautiful bouquet. Mrs. Roosevelt chatted for a few minutes with Warren Logan, trustee and retired treasurer of Tuskegee Institute and. with Dr. George W. Carver, eminent scientist. She expressed great interest in Dr. Carver’s Museum and conveyed greetings from the President. - ; h. . Mrs. Roosevelt’s visit included a tour through the Veterans Administration Facility, escorted by Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, Jr., Manager, where she greeted more than 1,500 Negro Veterans.
