The Omaha Guide, long ago, ar nounced it would support Kenneth Wtn-rry, if he files. It will do so, because it believes he is able, hon est and sincere. He is well educ ated, a product of the college a id law school of the state university. He served as a captain in the arm ed forces of the United States dur ing the First World War, and throughout his adult life has been a valiant fighter for everything which he believes to be for the common good. Now, as always, he has been the friend and champ ion of the farmer and worker and business man who live and serve within the law. When he was made Republican State Chairman in 1940, the Rep ublican Party in Nebraska was DEAD. He breathed into it the life and led it into victorious bat tle. In the election of 1940, no rep ublican leader matched his per fect record by electing every state fandidate to office. Of course, he had support, but he had it be cause he knew how to get it and hold it. He is a liberal, independent, pro gressive man, for whom it will be a privilege for the men and wom 1 en of this state to vote. The United States Senate needs men of the Wherry type in its councils. It needs the character | and intelligence which he will con tribute in national service and the integrity and sincerity he will be stow. If he files for the exalted office of United States Senator, we be lieve he will be elected. And we know he wall be in every way a worthy member of the greatest de liberative body in the world which has been graced by so many dis tinguished men. Were it left to the Omaha Guide to decide, Kenneth Wherry wou'.d be elected by acclamation. WILLIAM PICKENS William Pickens, according to newspaper reports, has been dis missed from the staff of the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People at the be hest of Walter White, Executive Secretary He is the last of the GRAND triumvirate of heroic souls who did more than all others to make the NAACP respected and feared throughiut America. Dean Pickens was one of thq founders of the Niagara Move ment in 1905 out of which the Na tional Association grew. When the National Association was founded, Pickens went with Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson to it.

They brought Walter White out of thc( deep south and mh.de him a nat ional figure. They taught him the ABC’s of the fight for "Racial Rights’’. And now that White has learned them, apparently he thinks he no longer needs the ser vices and benfits the veterans of other years, can bestow. When Dean Pickens helped found the Niagara Movement Wal ter White was 16 years of age. Dr. DuBois and James Weldon John son were internationally famous, and Pickens, many years younger than they, had won national re nown. And may we observe that V’al ter White must learn and under stand that he is the servant and not the master of the members of the NAACP, and if he knows on which side his bread is buttered, it will be wise for him to act ac cordingly. JAPAN TAKES THE DUTCH EAST INDIES Japan has almost completed her seizure of the Dutch East Indies. The population of the islands is variously estimated at 60,000.000 to 80,000,000. The native non white population is 90 percent of the total. Java, the wealthiest and most densely populated of the group, contains the precious an<l base metals in abundance and the fertility of the soil is matched no where else outside parts of Africa. The Dutch have been in the is lands a comparatively short time. They claim title to them through “treaty”; the usual term applied in such cases. The natives are said to be Mo hammedans in so far as they pro fess any faith at all. They will constitute a rich prize for Japan. Japan, however, in our judgement is looking toward Australia as an outlet for her population. Australia could very easliy ac commodate the total Japanese population for the next half cen tury, allowing for a normal in crease of 1,000,000 per year. She would like to get India, but here is trouble. Great wealth, to be sure, but already a dense popula tion to consume it, and one that is ready to fight to keep it. Do you want to stop Japan? — If so, arm China. PLEASE CONFER BEFORE TALKING We hope, that in the future, Secretary of the Navy Knox will refrain from making announce ments On military matters until after he has coufered with Secre tary of War Stimscn. STILL FIGHTING t-OR A CHANCE TO WOKK A ND FIGHT The Negroes of the country arc still fighting for a chance to work and fight, while on every hard industries clamor for workers. When colored workers apply they are told that the work is for whit es only. This attitude is no long er a mere matter of color prejud ice; it is unpatriotic. , The allies are reeling before the blows being struck by Japanese and their allies because we cannot produce defensive weapons rapidly enough. Are we going to wait until Ger many and Japan invades Amer ica before we utilize our whole en ergies for production of implem ents of war?

J. PINKETT FOR ANP Lincoln, Nebraska,—February 28. Last Saturday night at Lin coln, Nebraska, the annual Foun ders’ Day Banquet was held nt The Lincoln Hotel. It was spon sored by members of the Republi can party. Men and women were there from all over the state, one thousand of them, to hear and cheer “the spoken word”. Nearly every racial group in our Americ an population was represented at the banquet table, and many races “had actors in the play”. The pre siding officer and president of Founders’ Day was named Holm jquist, The First Vice President was named Mrs. Edna Hasten Don aid, another was named Frasor,, another Mockett, while Wm. Stew art was Secretary and George B. Cook was treasurer. U. S. Senator Hugh Butler, Gov ernor Dwight Griswold, Rep. Stats Chairman Kenneth Wherry, who In 1940, by the force of his genius “raised the Nebraska Republican party from the dead, and Mrs. El la Wagener was there playing lead -ing roles. Sitting almost unnot iced amidst the drama was the Republicp,<i National Cimmitt.ee man, G. E. Carpenter. During the day, pursuant to plans of the clever Edna Bast on Donald and the dynamic Ella Wag ener, there were luncheons and teas and receptions for visiting men and women. At Men’s lun cheon, Congressman Karl Stefan delivered an excellent address cn current farm and governmental problems. At the woman’s lun tor Remley of Mo. dilated logical ly and eloquently upon the “Am and ending midnight March 31, 1942, the following Agricultural commodities and products are here by designated as Blue Stamp Food and subject to applicable regulat ions and conditions, may be ex changed for Blue Food Order Stamps in any eligible food store participating in the food stamp program in designated stamp plan areas in the states of Illinois, In diana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dak ota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wis consin : Shell eggs, Corn meal, Dried prunes, Butter, Wheat flour, En rcibed wheat flour, Self-Rising Flour*, Enriched Self Rising flour While wheat (graham) fliur, Hom iny (codn) grits, Dry Edible beans Fresh vegetables, including pota toes, Fresh pears, Fresh apples, Fresh oranges, Fresh grapefruit. •Self rising flour is wheat flour which contains soda, phospual e and salt. This Week In Religion and Thought BY ROBT. L. MOODY OBSERVING LENT It is a good thing to have 3 time of year in which we concen trate our attention upon the life of our Lord. Each study of His life works and supreme sacrifices bring new inspiration to the child of God. But we must avoid im practical and erroneous ideas a bout lent. Some so-called Christians begin to live holy from Ash Wednesday until i • • ter. Immediately if ter Easter they return to them carnal and ungodly living as a hog re turns to her wallow. This is a re flection upon our Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever is sinful, un godly or unchristian during Lent, is sinful during any other period of the year. It is impossible to be holy for one special period. St. Peter ex horts us thus: “But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in ALL manner of convers ation or life”. Luke records (Chapter 1 verse 74, 75) “That He would grant un to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear in HOLI NESS and righteousness before Him, ALL the days of our life. ’ During this season of mediation Seek Him for grace to live in the power of this precious promise.

At the evening banquet, Mr. Wheeler McMillan, Editor of a Philadelphia Farm Journal, deliv ered an unique argument on agri cultural economy, in which he maintained that the views adv anced by Vice President Wallace, that all doors are closed to agric ulture, because all lands are now occupied, is little short of non sense. And he pointed out that through production of farm prod ucts and chemistry an era of pros perity lies before us which will surpass anything previously known During the day and evening these were the things I saw and heard. At the banquet table, fac ing me was a blonde woman, on her right sat a Scotchman, beside him an Irishman and to the right of the Irishman sat a Swede- On my right sat a Scotch-Irishman, and next to him sat a woman of Jewish faith, while on my left sat the son of the Scotch-Irishman. All over the room were the child ren of nearly every race and land. I was the Only person of color at the feast. Again and again the “Japs” were mentioned, but there was an entire absence of "funny Stories” about Negroes, which of ten mar otherwise fine meetings. My Scotch-Irish banquet friend was solicitous of my comfort and, was fearful that I might Per chance be seated by someone who might be "color conscious’’. Ev erywhere I went throughout the hotel courteous treatment was al ways accorded me. The SOCIAL BEHAVIOR of the leaders of Founders’ Day as well as that of the rank and file, was commendable. But I wond ered, as I went “hither and yon’’ among the guests of Founders’ Day, if the fact that ten thousand, colored voters in this state who constitute the “balance of pow er”, might not have been visual ized through me. Whatever thq reason, they all behaved as civil ized social beings. Perhaps, also, the liberal lead ership of Kenneth Wherry, Edna Basten Donald and Ella Wagen-r might have set this pattern. And it may be that this pattern will broaden until the experience which I had on Founders’ Day, may be the daily experience of my people all over their native land. H. J.
