The dark peoples of the semi-free countries must work with all lov ers of liberty; all profesors of lib erty, until all countries which would destroy the freedom of all are beat en and crushed, so that never again will they seek to destroy mankind.

M. E. Church, 2428 Franklin Street, ap parently, was quite a success. America shall give to the colored people equality of oportunity in ev ery relation of life If we do this and hold America to her duty here, dark peoples every where will take courage and join us in our fight against BRUTAL ITARIANISM, which dominates the policies of Germany and Japan. To this idealism, to this cause, we call all mtn and women of every race and creed. ***** THE OMAHA GUIDE SHOULD BE IN TEN THOUSAND HOMES The Omaha Guide which has al ways been devoted to the welfare of the Middle West in genral and Om aha in particular, should be in at least ten thousand homes and be read by 50,000 persons instead of the 20,000 who read it now. It is not a perfect paper, but you can help to make it better than it is, that it may the beter serve the City of Omaah, the State of Nebr aska and the Middle West, and the NATION. To be sure, the Guide has made mistakes, as all agencies run by hu man being must, but on the whole it seeks to build rather than des troy. If it must criticize this cause or that, it does so for the common good, hoping always that right shall triumph ver wrong. ***** THANKS Thanks fr the many compliments received on our editorial last week on the NAACP. Everything we said about this organization was true. And of it, we shall speak, and speak again. **** When our new Circulation Man ager calls to see you, please give him a hearing. He is trying to learn how the Omaha Guide may better serve you. And if you will tell him where we have failed, he will make the wroogs right and the Guide and you will both be pleased. ***** THE RAILROADS AGAIN Several times we have mentioned the work being done by railroads -during the present war. During re cent months we have heard and said things about other agencies involv ed in the War effort. But the ef ficient manner in which the rail roads have met and mastered the tremendous task of transportation of materials and men, marks them as the FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR AMERICA AND the United Nations. Nevtr before has a transportation system of any kind performed a service on such a tremendous scale, so well. In an older generation in order to describe their work, we would have used such terms as extraord inary, Magnificient, SUBLIME. In our own age, less ornate than oth ers that have passed, we are com- | tent to speak of their contribution j as the supreme accomplishment of | wondrous, troubled time. i r ' '• ■ i * ■■■J - 1 Remember, last week, C. C. I men tioned something about a ninety seven year old person? Well, one of your readers hailed me during the week to tell me not only of another ninety-seven year old person but he also gave me a real human-interest story. The reader’s name is Rich ard Turner, 3018 Burdette Street, and the story is that in his house lives four generations and each male member is named Richard Turner. The oldest is an ex-slave—the ninety seven year old member. His son, same name, is 53. His grandson, same name, is 25, and the great grandson , same name, is 5 years old. Can you beat that for a hu man-interest family story? —CCM— Also, last week, I mentioned some thing about some man being on one job for thirty-five years. During the week I got acquainted with, Mrs. Ruby E. Eldridge, of Maple Street (and more prominently known in connection with the Sgt. Graham case) and she voluntarily told me that her husband Wm. Eldridge, has been on one job with the Union Pac ific Railway for thirty-five years. Is that the same man I spoke of last week, C. C? At first I thought Mrs. Eldridge had the relationship wrong for she, herself, didn’t look like she was thirty-five years old, and at first I thought she meant her father. —CCM— By the way, C. C. what was the outcome of the Sgt. Graham case? I heard “Judge” Pinkett saying something about the case but I didn’t get the actual facts. If you learn them print them in another column, C. C. —CCM— I spoke of Miss Mandarin Jones 3028 Burdette Street, last week She stopped me Saturday to tell me that her father successfully under went an operation that day. —CCM— Did you know that Mrs. Willa Gray, 2620 Decatur Street, who works at the Pullman Hotel, has been suffering from arthritis? —CCM— And Mrs. Julia A. Smith, 2410 De catur Street, one of the colored women workers at the Cudahy Plant is now enjoying her two weeks vacation. IF^here goes Pembroke!
