UNEXPECTED HANDICAPS CAN’T STOP THEM!
It was a change, this July 4, to have somebody be
sides the do-nothing critics throw water on the cele
bration. The weatherman got the downpour shut off
just in time to save the day Tuesday after a drenching
Monday that had everybody soaked clean up to their
hip pockets.
Looking back now, the celebration seems an out
standing success and it neatly hurdled many obstacles
in its path. Those who worked hard and faithfully on
the affair are to be congratulated for having stuck
by their posts and carried on despite desertion and
downpour. Crowds were larger than ever and seemed
well pleased with the entertainment features prepared
for them.
Planning, arranging and carrying off a celebration
is a big job for a community, but certainly Ashland
should continue the tradition which now is so firmly
entrenched in the minds of people throughout this
section of tne country that doubtful weather can’t
keep them away.
Our celebration committees are being given too
little help and too much criticism. They have well M come a regular habit of this

MRS. ROOSEVELT IS A GREAT LADY!
When Eleanor Roosevelt last Sunday met with the
National Association for Advancement of Colored
People’s convention in Richmond, Va., she rose to even
greater heights as an outstanding first lady of the
land.
For when Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to the colored folks
and presented one with a medal for outstanding
achievement she braved the solid south and a storm
of certain criticism. We of the north know that the
brown-skinned folks are entitled to respect and admira
tion for their accomplishments but down below the
line deep-rooted prejudices will rebel at the thought
of a white woman meeting colored folks on the same
platform. (And many northerners, too, will be in
fluenced more by racial stupidity than by reason.)
Mrs. Roosevelt has been a most lovable lady and
her action in letting the nation know, via radio, that
she admires citizens of any color or creed who con
tribute to the achievements of mankind is setting a
high example for succeeding first ladies.
Whether the President and Mrs. Roosevelt have
met with majority approval from the political view is
debatable, but there can be no questioning the growing
belief that in them America has been blessed with
two first citizens who will go down in history as great
humanitarians.
The pity of it is that the Roosevelts—Franklin and
Eleanor—will never be fully appreciated until it is
too late to tell them so. Politics are most cruel to our
greatest leaders.
This time we will give the state
department some counsel on its
expenditures for diplomatic activi
ties For instance we read that
they are allowing only a measly
$140 000 for entertainment for the
entire corps throughout the world.
Of course that ain't hay to any
body around these parts but when
the Republic of Cuba can allow
its representatives $35,000 to
spend on wining and dining in
this country alone and Great Brit
ain puts herself down for $116,000
(we know Just what you are
going to say) it looks as if our
foreign legations are figuring on
putting out hot dogs and beer for
their guests
The naval building program,
among other things, calls for two
$93.000 000 warships, and how
about spending more money on
the ambassadors and counsuls and
thus pay more attention to pre
venting wars in that way instead
of trying to scare the other na
tions by maintaining larger armed
forces. Diplomatic expenditures
come to less than one-tenth of
one per cent of the amount al
lowed for the army and navy and
perhaps more care and pains tn
the diplomatic circles abroad
would be the ounce <i( prevention.
Secretary Hull is welcome to
this free idea and its probably
worth Just what it would cost him.
