Our Choice for President
in 1928 is
WALTER W. HEAD
of Nebraska
An Astute, Able, Clear
headed Business
Man
“ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN”
The death of Ledrue Galloway,
former stellar athlete of Central
High school, Omaah, and of the
University of Iowa, at the early
age of 22 years, has filled the
hearts of hundreds of friends
and admirers with genuine sor
row. It is safe to say that Cen
tral High School never had a
more popular or beloved student
than Ledrue Galloway. He made
a record in scholarship and ath
letics. In athletics he was the
outstanding man during his en
tire school career—in basketball,
baseball, track and football. The
esteem in which he was 1ield as
a clean upstanding athlete was
well expressed in the 0-Book of
1923, the year of his graduation,
which said of him: “One of the
cleanest fellows who ever hit the
line,” and by the sport writer of
the World-Herald when he was
unanimously chosen by coaches
and critics as All-State Half
Back, in this brief tribute, “Gal
loway, always a gentleman on
the field and off.”
Entering the University of
Iowa he won a place on the var
sity squad, wrhere he again dis
tinguished himself. Like a bolt
out of a clear sky came the dis
covery in his second year that
he, with his splendid physique,
had developed tuberculosis and
he must give up his college ca
reer and go to Arizona. Unfor
tunately the “white plague.” as
it is called, had too firmly
-grasped him to be shaken off,
and Wednesday he succumbed.
It is always sad wrhen the young |
and promising are called away j
and difficult for us to under
stand. but Infinite Wisdom and
Love knows what is best for us
all, and so we should never sor
row as those without hope.
Those who knew him, loved
him and mourn his going, will
cherish the memory of "Lee”
and “Gangway,” as his col
leagues called him, as one who
was “always a gentleman on the
fi°ld and off.”
DEPENDABLE LABOR
That’s an interesting story
which comes from Phoenix, Ari-!
zona, telling of the protest of
labor unions against the im- i
portation of Porto Ricans to
harvest the cotton crop. The ob- i
jection is based upon the ground I
that this will lower American
wages and standards. It is grat
ifying to note in this connection
that moneyed interests realize
the value of dependable black
labor and see in it the solution
to the labor shortage. Slowly,
but surely, it will be eventually
realized that in the sturdy arms
and frames of her black citizens
America has a loyal and depend
able labor supply.
WHY NOT?
The election commissioner
employs a large force of extra
clerks in his office prior to and
immediately succeeding elec
tions. Why should he not give
employment to some competent
Negro men and women? Why
not?
OMAHA SCHOOLS
Omaha schools have opened
j with an enlarged enrollment of
■pupils and a curtailment of 107
teachers from its corps of in
structors. This means a mere
! nominal addition to the number
of pupils to be taught by each
teacher. There has been a large
increase in the enrollment of col
| ored children, which leads us to
| call attention to the fact that
“mixed schools” are not really
J‘mixed” until the teaching
; force is mixed. Let us keep up
the demand for some qualified
teachers from our group in
Omaha public schools. We are
taxed for their support and are
entitled to representation. Let
us not go to sleep on this issue.
