The policy change came three days after an exclusive Courier expose hit the newsstands of this town on Wednesday. Issued over the signature of the Very Rev. Msgr. John S. Spence, director of education for the Washington archdiocese, the an nouncement said: “Colored Catholics are wel come on the Archdiocesan pil grimage to Rome. Those inter ested in making reservations may apply to the Thomas Cooke and Sons Travel Agency or to Monsignor Spence, director of the pilgrimage.” — Pittsburgh Courier. ■ r a * PRANK SAID m TO JANE, JANE 2>AlO TO L.OIJ ■ i I ■ ■ v ■ I V-OUSAl^TO| RUTH, RUTH SfclC>| (- 1 IT PAYS TO DEAL AT ■ CHEAPPER'S ■ I Save with safety \Jsjuv dqsL (fhaUML ', By FIoIni* Fliilcy Howdy!

He was a scholar and a gentlemt.jfc with a keen sense of justice which ever guided his actions. Well acquainted with the his tory, diplomacy and language of European nations, he wisely guided Lincoln in foreign affairs during the Civil war. Stevens was the stern statesman who measured up to the requirements for dealing with the conquered secessionists. He was resolute, intelligent, dar ing and strong in piloting through congress the measures which sus tained the war and guaranteed both freedom and equality to those in bondage. He was a man of the high order characterized by char ity, honesty and sincerity. He had nothing to do with the corruption which followed after his death in 1868. His sole aim was to do good to all men, and he therefore championed the cause of the equalitarianism which the people of that day would not ac cept. So-called statesmen of our time still contend for the right of their constituents to deny Negroes the right to live and move and have their being in peace, happi ness and prosperity. Faced with this bad records while trying to buy its way to world leadership, the United States has become a laughing stock for those on the rising tide of liberty, equality and brother hood. In order to see ourselves aright before the world we are compelled to go back to the prin ciples advanced by Sumner and Stevens four generations ago. These statesmen are rising, there fore, in the enlighted public mind, and we must re-evaluate their record as the advanced agents of democracy.
