Faith in Your Future
This writer has noticed the at
titude of the working group of
people among both white and Ne
groes since Wednesday morning,
the day after election.
These people are convinced that
no less than the bread line and
utter starvation face them.
The scare campaign has really
paid off to — thank heaven — a
small group of Americans. How
ever, I refuse to lose faith in
America because of any party be
ing in power. If we all are on our
way to the poorhouse, then some
one will get rich building a large
enough parking lot to make space
for the new cars that will be there
next to it.
Americans, let’s all wake up and
enjoy everything that we have to
live for, and thank your Lucky
Stars that you have a Country ;
with men in it like General ;
Eisenhower and Governor Steven- J<
son with whom to make the se- ]
lection for the President of these ;
United States. 1
Let’s face facts. Maybe some
“goldbickers” that have been sit
ting back and letting the other
fellow do his job will be laid off
or given real honest to goodness
■ work to do for a change will be
come resentful, but are we going
I to let the small group percentage
drag us down?
There was a time when a person
receiving aid from the State
would slip and try to keep from
being seen receiving such benefits,
but now they’re proud to be
among the so called smart ones,
getting something for nothing.
Fellow Americans let’s not step
into this shameful condition of ex
pecting support from the rest of
the world.
We, the Negro, have made great
progress, not because of any politi
cal party, but because we are bet
ter equipped to hold better jobs,
and we are still going forward.
Not through Civil Rights, but
through good hard work which
has never hurt anyone. Stick to
your guns not as a Negro but
as an American citizen and no one
can take that from you. True, we
have never had it so good, but
you can’t just save America for
any one group and lose it for the
millions of other Americans.
Let’s save America for America.
Good citizens walk, work and act
proudly. We are all endowed with
that which no one can take away.
Illness, Low Grades Force Penn
To Drop Bob Evans, Team Captain
PHILADELPHIA (ANP)-_ A
combination of an undisclosed ill
ness and lower than usual grades j
combined Friday to have Bob
Evans declared ineligible for the
University of Pennsylvania fooV
ball team.
A great tackle of all-American
caliber, Evans was captain of the
team. He and end Ed Bell are the
first two Negroes ever to play for
the Penn eleven.
Evans has been admitted to the
university hospital for “a rest and
complete physical checkup.” Just
what is causing Evans’ sickness
was not revealed, but it is said
that Evans kept it secret.
William H. DuBarry, executive
vice president of Penn, made this
announcement:
“Upon Inquiry by the university
into the situation of Robert Evans’
unsatisfactory scholastic record in
recent weeks, it was discovered
that he had not been well and
had kept the information to him
self because of his extreme desire
to lead the football team as cap
tain.”
Evans is 21 years old and us
ually a good student. On the grid
iron he has been a virtual 60
minute man in this day of the
two-platoon systems. His inspira
tional work has led his team to a
(surprisingly successful season with
only one loss on its record.

Nebraska’s Senators (10)
Monroe L. Hayward, elected to
. the United States Senate by the
legislature on March 8, 1899, died
December 1, 1899, before he had
qualified. Though cut off just as
he was about to climax his career,
i Senator Hayward, who came to
: Nebraska the year the state was
admitted to the union, was closely
identified with the developing
years of the new state.
He was born in Willsboro, New
York, December 22, 1840. He spent
his boyhood on his father’s farm,
securing his education in the
. community’s common schools with
an occasional term at private
schools. In common with many
other young Americans, he en
listed for duty in the Civil War.
He saw active service in the
Shenandoah Valley and so under
mined his health that he had to be
discharged from the Army be
cause of disability.
Upon his return from the wars,
young Monroe Hayward — again
in the pattern of many of his am
bitious contemporaries—struggled
to complete his education. He
worked his way through Ft. Ed
ward Institute by teaching school,
serving as a bookkeeper, and
doing manual labor. Upon gradua
tion, he read law, completing his
legal studies at Whitewater, Wis.
He was admitted to the bar in
1867, and then came out to the
new state of Nebraska.
Young Hayward settled per
manently at Nebraska City. For
many years he was a member of
that community’s board of educa
tion, and in 1877 he served as a
delegate to the state constitutional
convention. He was active in the
affairs of the Republican party
and served several times as chair
man of its state conventions.
In 1898 he won the Republican
nomination for governor. He cam
paigned actively, speaking in al
most every organized county in
the state, but went down to defeat
at the hands of W. A. Poynter,
, fusionist candidate.
Though the fusionists won the
extensive European tour.
J Roland Hayes, well known
tenor, will appear in. the final
concert. The last appearance of
jMr. Hayes in this city was at
|Ryman auditorium during the in
auguration of Fisk’s president,

Experiment at Boys Town
BOYS TOWN, NEBR.—Hope for the prevention of acute gingi
vitis comes from Father Flanagan’s Boys Home here, where 589
volunteer youngsters have just finished the first scientific group study
of its kind in the history of oral hygiene. The dramatic experiment
was co-sponsored by Lever Brothers Chlorodent toothpaste and the
Rystan company, licensers of chlorophyll. Full results will be pub
lished in the national publication of the American Academy of Perio
dentology, for the benefit of all mankind.
Commenting on the project, Msjjr.- Nicholas H. Wegner, director
of Boys Town, said “There is a basic generosity in youth, and they
cross the bridge between childhood and adulthood by giving to their
environment instead of taking from it.”
The boys taking part were aware of the importance of the study
and eagerly swept aside their proverbial boys’ dislike for tooth
brushing. They enthusiastically brushed their teeth for two minutes
morning and night for nine months. Examination slewed that of the
201 using Chlorodent, 78.6% showed advanced improvement within
two months.
