Tuesday, November 8, 1932, the people of the Uni
tod States of America made an emphatic decision as to
their system of government. The Democratic party gain
ed an overwhelming victory in the recent campaign, a
government for the people and by the people. Gov.
Roosevelt’s lead far outstripped that of other members
on the ticket. New hope is expressed for better business
relations and a general regeneration of the economic;
world.

THE SCOTTSBORO DECISION
(Editorial from the World Herald)
Seven poor and friendless Negroes, convicted of
a capital crime, are to have a chance to plead their inno
cence anew because the supreme court of the United
States finds the state of Alabama did not accord them
that “due process of law” guaranteed every citizen by the
constitution. The denial of due process the court holds
lay in the fact that the seven were not permitted legal
counsel at a time when such counsel was vitally neces
sary for the preparation of their defense. The decision
establishes a hitherto unconstrued point of constitutional
law.
The court’s careful consideration of this case and
its conclusion give new faith in the American system and
new confidence in the nation’s highest tribunal as the
guardian of the citizen’s constitutional liberties.
The Sacco-Vanzetti and Tom Mooney cases in
which prejudice, irrevelent to the crimes charged, seemed
to have played so important a part, have given rise to a
good many pessimistic doubts about the purity of local
justice in America. The bad impression which Massa
chusetts and California have given is offset by Justice
Sutherland and his associates in their reasoning in the
Scottsboro case.
It is not of course particularly to the merit of the
court that the defendants in this casehappened to be the
humblest of the humble. Its decision w’ould have had to
be the same had the case involved the rich and influent
ial. The fact, however, that they w’ere poor and despised
makes the outcome doubly reassuring to the average or
dinary citizen.
We can all quit glaring nowT, and smile at each
other again.
A phrase that is true once more “The solid south.”
Well, it’s all over, including the shouting.
IN KEEPING
(Louisville Courier-Journal)
After the doctor had been treating him for six
months or so a bill was rendered. This the patient be
gan to liquidate by means of monthly checks.
“Hey,” said* the medico, “you are paying me by in
stallments.”
“Well, doctor, you didn’t cure me instantaneously.”

South Omaha Packers Fail To Beat
The Seward St. Aristocrats
Rainey Merril’s South Town Pack,
ers made many desperate attempts to
sweep down the good old Aristocrat
football team in a well played game
at twenty-first and Paul streets be
tween 2 and 4 p. m. last Sunday. The
southern visitors can be given credit
for making the most gains in the
game but touchdowns in the things
that count in this game of block and
tackle. The great Jobbo Curry ex
hibited great work as left tackle
whenever he was sly enough to sneak
through the packer line. Dick Arti
son tried his best to reach his oppon
ents goal but was continuously drag,
ged down by such men as J. C. Har
ris, Valnee Johnson and C. Merril.
In the last ten minutes of play, Val
Johnson made a twenty yard gain
and was stopped on the thirty yard
boundary line at the last end of the
bed him at this point. Some of the
field by What-a-man Artison, grab

FOR A CHOSEN 500
What does the Community Chest
do for destitute, dependent and or
phan children? Here are just a few
statements as to the actual work of
some of our agencies for you to pass
on. Notice how it all fits into a def
inite plan.
The Nebraska Children’s Home Soc
iety takes orphaned children and ar
ranges for their adoption and place
ment in childless homes.
The Creche and the Immanuel
Children’s Home provide temporary
care for children of school age wnose
parents are temporarily unable to
care for them because of illness or
other serious family problems.
The Child Saving Institute cares
for children under school age during
such periods of emergency.
At the Hattie B. Monroe Home
crippled children are provided with
medical attention and convalescent
care while their bodies and limbs are
strengthened and repaired.
The Salvation Army Home and
Hospital provides care and works out
solutions for the unmarried mother
and her child.
The Junior League Day Nursery
gives day care to the children of wid
ows who must work and who cannot
afford to pay for adequate care them
selves.
I The Child Welfare Association se
cures foster homes for children and
extends care work service to all other
children’s agencies.
Over 400 children are cared for
every day in the year by these agenc
ies and, most important, there is no
child problem in Omaha which can-,
not be met and adequately handled,
immediately and efficiently, by these
children’s agencies.
The Nebraska Children’s Home,
the Child Saving Institute and the
Immanuel Children’s Home, state
wide in scope, receive from the Com
munity Chest only the money neces
sary for the care given Omaha child
ren. Although parents and relatives,
when able, carry part of the financial
burden, in 1932 the Omaha Commun.
ity Chest is spending $71,102.00 in
this work.
“BLACK SOULS”
by Mrs. Annie Nathan Meyer
(1225 Park Avenue, New York N. Y )
• * •
Usually when I read a book that
has been sent to me for review I do
so a few pages at a time in spare
moments just as long as I can fin
ish it in time to prepare a syndicated
comment to be sent out with my
weekly relases.
♦ • *
The book is a play. And I under
stand that the play ran for a few
weeks last spring in New York. And
I can further understand why it did’nt
continue running. White theatre
patrons, on whom the producer de
pended mostly for his financial sup’
port, were not going to pay to see
heir own race characterized and
dramatized to th extent that the real
naked truth is presented in “Black
Souls”.

WORLD INSURANCE
COMPANY’S NEW POLICY
PROVIDES FOUR-WAY
COVERAGE
The World Insurance Comp,
any, organized in 1903, with its
Home Office in the Omaha
Building & Loan Association
Building, Omaha, has a policy
which gives Four-Way Protect
ion in new and complete form.
First, accidental death benefit;
second, benefit for accident dis
ability; third, benefits for tem
porary sickness, and fourth, a
lange benefit in case of death
from sickness. Every accident
and every sickness except ven
ereal is covered. The policy
pays disability of one day or
more. In case of hospital con.
flnement, additional benefits
are payable.
Most acidents and health pol
icies pay benefits for only a
short period in case a person
dies after a short sickness. The
World, under its Silver Anni
versary monthly or weekly pay
ment policies, pays a definite
large benefit no matter how
soon death follows the beginn
ing of sickness.
It recently augmented its
Agency Force by several men,
including William Davis, resid
ing at 2514 Corby Street, who
together with hfc wife has rec.
ently moved to Omaha from
Washington, D. C. Mr. Davis
is representing the Company
in the capacity of a Special
Agent and he will be in a posi
tion to render special service
along the insurance protection
line.
