WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? The Lord Bishop of London who is visiting the United States is recognized as a man of broad culture and great intellectual ability. He is not only an ec clesiastical statesman, but also an astute student of government, j A few days ago when asked what' is the difference between the two major political parties of the United States, he confessed that it was difficult for him to perceive any real difference be tween the Republican and Demo- j cratic parties, despite the labor ed efforts of those who strove to enlighten him. He said there was a time when they radically differed upon certain issues and he could understand that differ ence, but that they had so close ly approached each other now that he could not see the differ ence between them. Of course, may will be quick to conclude that as a rather ob tuse Englishman, despite his re puted intellectual ability, Bishop Ingram could not discern the dif ference, but that does not ans wer his question which he pro pounded in all seriousness. There are /nany Americans, not of the intellectual acumen of the Bishop of London, and their number is increasing, and this is especially true among the younger men and women of our group, who are as obtuse as this learned and distinguished visitor when it comes to seeing any real fundamental difference between the Republican and Democratic parties as they exist today. The Monitor would like to propound to its readers the same question that the Bishop of Lndon asked: “What is the real difference between the Republican and the Democratic parties?” Will some one answer? Our columns are open for replies. These replies ought to make interesting read ing. We will be pleased to hear from champions of both sides, irrespective of race, color or creed. Let's have your answer. Make it brief and to the point. BAUMAN’S RE-ELECTION Otto J. Bauman was entitled to re-election and we are glad our people so loyally supported him. He has made, as we said before, an efficient and con scientious public officer and was therefore entitled to re-election. In addition to this, so far as our people are concerned he had been fair with us by giving us rep resentation on his office force and therefore was entitled to our support. Congratulations. Mr. Bauman, as the sole survivor of the republican deluge. CUT IT OUT, HARRY Now that Harry Pearce, reg ister of deeds, has been re-elect ed for the fourth term, we in dulge in the hope that he will not resort to his usual custom of dropping from his clerical force the colored clerk whom he so magnanimously employs three or four months before election. This is a bad habit, Harry, cut it out. A SIGNIFICANT FACT One of the most significant in stances of the election was the votng at 2707 Lake street, where the repub lican vote outnumbers the democratic vote 14% to 1. At this precinct the vote on sheriff gave Hopkins 172 and McDonald 172. It proved beyond ques tion that colored people have learned how to “scratch” a ticket. Strangely, too, most of the “scratching” was done between 6 and 8 p. m. by colored work ing men and women. The colored people have learned how to vote. BARNETT THANKS SUPPORTERS I take this method to thank my many friends for their loyal support in voting for me and making it pos sible for my election for state repre sentative in the Tenth district. F. L. BARNETT. KEEPING FIT This is primarily an age of physical fit ness. Growing boys everywhere are bend ing their efforts to the development of mus cular ability and a sound physique, whether their purpose is to excel in one of the many fields of athletics or to prepare for a life of rigorous manual effort Today the growing American youth has before him aB shining goals the greatt champions in the various fields of sport. Our boxing champions, our golfing champ ions, our swimming champions are gen erally considered the champions of the world. But the physical perfection necessary to become champion in any field of physi cal activity is not a matter of accident or chance. Back of every champion you will find a ground work of sound physical de velopment which has been maintained by constant exercise and intelligent training Every normal boy has the deaire to at tain a high degree of physical fitness. Many, however, are handicapped by lack of proper information on training rules and care of the body. The U. S. Public Service has prepared a publication to 111 this very need. This publication entitled, "Keeping Fit” gives authoritative information on sound physi cal development, illustrated with numer ous charts, diagrams and pictures. Other important information on personal hygiene with special chapters on sex hygiene for the growing boy and young man are included.
