DEAN CORDON B. H AN COOK IODKIIN MARTYRDOM Five years ago I passed through 'rague in old Bohemia, and visi.d th(i ^noL upon which great old ohn Hiss met his fiery fate. It as thrilling to remember how uhil the last he proclaimed faith in esus Christ, a faith that was costig hinTTils life: The~htghrost-Trfelieving was far more vivo! ftntH npressive Than today. The pi oii-ss of mankind in things spirital and niatei iai has been rooted in ..c i.ood in thp martyrs. As comiared with their sacrifices w\. are emg allied to the skies on Howry beds of easp while they fought o win thp prize and sailed through iloody seas. There is a martryiom of the body and another of ?.e soul anil spirit. .There is today, as in the times of he early Christians, a inartrydom or those of honest convictions. | <u* nnm who does. not a t some ime or other get himselt' "thueii-u1 is either a shirker or does not >elieve auytii/ng in purticulai. iVhereus the early martyrs were k rmd at the stake, thrown u> wild " nsts "r ?n?*p e^'inder. the mod?n martyrs arv "smeared" b v hose from whom they dare to ditF r. Smearisni is a well-defined Pattern of modern culture. Those vith whom wc disagree we smear iionest differences ol' upinions^ii.e. aot tolerated except in rare cases, 'he non-conformist in thougm . marked for destruction. Kortu'ately there is so much smearisni that it is not necessarily fatal to he intended victim, but it is rnvarably fatal to the cause of human .ettorment. The manslaughter so common in the-Negro ghetto has its counterpart in the upper crust Negroes where "smearism" as a kind oT moral manslaughter is practiced w jm aoanuon. in politics more ind more resort is had to..smearism. Today Die wrcek-RousevI'll -ampaigners arc out to smear the Eloosevelts to defeat in the coming deetiom?Mrs, -Roosevelt?has-been kdiberatolv selected as the logical victim of as nasty a snroar campaign as was ever waged in this ountry. There rs such ywellidelined mioar campaign directed at Mrs. Roosevelt that.it behooves the coin tiy in general and the Negroes in particular to closely inspect the | implications thereof. Time and again President Roosevelt has put jut hrs neck^in an attempt to integrate the Negro irUo the citizenship of this country; and just as aften,. have there been those to :hop- itr. Such a stalwart has he proven that the guns are now trainee! on I Mrs. Roosevelt against whom so i large a part of the south has turn-,] :'u with an unparalleled venom foi no apparent reason that she has not feared to mingle freely with Negroes1 whenever the occasion was atforded. ~She~has never smdthat she "wanted a nigger to marly my daughter" but this in n o way mitigates the venomous censure to which she is relentlessly PACKS .1 THE LINES s ibjeciod. The so-called demo atic and C hristian, south is embittered towards tht. woman mere y "heta.se she dares to be both!eiuoiiat.\' and Christian. . The erstwhile solid south is threatening , split <>n alone, 1 h, Kleunei Koos celt lines. Whereas in times past all Nero shottcomings were accounted ..)i- on the score of color, today ney are accounted for by .wr.% onosevelt. She has become the ape jfnut lor e? rlain political pre n :ers who. t. niajof stuck in tra ie "a Negro hr.trn^?ttrt?t Negro-baiting. Kvor sitae the Negro's email palioit various meusures ha*;, i,en prescribed to keep the Ne fio^'in his place" just why Mrs. oosevek has recently become the explanation of the Negro's unrest .ml dissatisfat tionvovor bis sub citizenship status is hard to exlain save m tennis of crass political expediency. Behind much of this smearism is I the ambition of the Republican [ iits against the Democratic ins >!.i piil licans arc malting Negroes ' olieve that because President does ot by mere' fact five the Negroes fum all their social and econoinic iavevy. h0 is recreant to his high iul liuty trust. These same Reli'tiblieans liave no explanation as-r-tr why they clixP not'do this?the ears they huvt? reigned since the iints of Lincoln. Just why they ne going.to do so much now aftoi ot doing anything in 50 years, is . matcei -that thoughtful Negroes \ant cleared. If Negroes do not tise with their votes and rally to w.msevelt they could easily be charged with the basest ingrati.inie to a woman and man who are 'hreatened with martyrdom for no reason other than their consideraI'iotTior. the rights and personalia's of Negroes as citizens of these United Slates. Where is there >n all Republican history of the lilst 10 years anything comparable to executive unlit' ?in its impli. | .ations for Necwucn?
