Phew its getting hot!” Prisons and Prisoners “Book" Lawton, writer and philo. . sopher, of Clay Center, Kansas, has * written such a strong editorial on, “Capitol Punishment, Like Capitol Cr..-net is Wrong.’ that I am repro_ ducing it herewith ia full, “Owr civilization hangs in thi j balance! Our ideals are dreams that can never be realized through de_ crees, hanging scaffolds, nor electric chairs. The restraint, lies deeper than law, or any contemplated law. The hand of the law, however severe, does not reach deep into one’s conscience and remove the cause of any natural or habitual desire It rather intensi_ fies the craving by its restraint Af_ ter centuries of dungeons, prisons, guillotines, firing squads, hanging scaffolds, and electric chairs, we still have “the master criminal ” More base, more cunning, more intelligent Outwitting the law; because he is born to the end of beating it. How few are persons born, if any, with the inherent desire to respect purely leg_ islative laws; in the face of penalties for their transgression. “First, crimes are conceived in thought; stamped indellibly on one’s conscience, transmitted to the off_ spring that develops the negative restrained in the parent, and the brutal criminal, preconceived in I vengeful thought; is a reality Re_ spect for law, rests not on the sev_ erity of its punishment, which is vio_ latable; but on the institution of ideals, which if perfected are inviol. able; because virtue begets virtue, which cannot transgress nor consume its (own) perfect state; for they are (one) inseparable How then, can the pre-uniption that capitol punishment is right; countermand the violation of | human life, with a second act; that compounds the first. “The false patriotism instilled in millions during the world war; that it was noble to die for one’s country, or the desire to kill; which was drill. ed into them, are major reasons. .As, is also, tn? truth of too many need, less laws, city, county and state. Peo. pie are being hemmed in too closely. Liberally speaki/ig. .Like Japan,-they want some personal latitude that they may draw their breath, without being stiffled or regulated. “Law is to blame in many cases for the quantity of criminals that are foisted upon the public. It guapaotees ■ Life, Liberty and^ the pursuit of Happiness — and adds, “by the due process of law.” Then, what is due process of law? “Yesterday” it was: unlawful to have liquor in any’form. ••Tomorrow,” it nifty be had in every form. Sometime in the distant fu_ ture, it might become unlawful again j —even though a habit shall have been formed, personal desires inherently created and conceived—with the con_ sent of the law. Has law power, to j purge one’s conscience of taking a life; even though it gives the man. date? Surely a disregard of human life, will be as inherent in the off. spring of a “hangman” as it was in the calloused affections of the father to such ghastly deeds. Conscience < an not be disregarded; Tor it is by conscience that we suffer the ills of folly; know transgression by its con. viction, and atonement by its demand for retribution. It is through con. science, that we climb toward the perfection of an ideal; not through prisons and scaffolds. They are only splints that we try to bind broken hearts, and broken character with. “The application of criminal law is founded on forae. It is something without a conscience to be merciful. It forgives not the soul that has sinned and repented to God It teach. | es no present, nor sets an example of the love that was Christ’s It asks God to have mercy on your soul—it will not It commercializes the taking of human life for hire; “It demands its pound of flesh.” For some men the penalty is death for taking a life; - for others it is a living with a good alary It depends on which side of the fence you are on. Neither is right; morally they are wrong. Through right living, we can overcome the criminal instinct in those yet unborn. By thinking clearly, doing honestly and subdueing the desire to deprive , others, of Life, Liberty and the pur. uit of Happiness. We shall! Certain, ly not in this generation; but with !ne next a little less criminally in. dined; and the next even less so, and so on; until we crave not for the lives of others, both lawfully and unlaw. ■ fully; mercy unto a civil power to purge a people of its unrighteous, ness; but recognize, that in the blind force of lawful restraint; there is no power to make of a harlot—a virgin; of an adulturous man—a Christ; nor of America—a land of Canaan.” LOOKING BACK Impudence by Viddeta Ish (For Th eLiterary Service Bureau) Under th** old code impudence was Znot confined to “talking back”, “dis. puting my word” and “contradicting me”; but it was impudence to “roll your eves”, “raise your voice”, “drop j your lip”. You were not allowed to i “crook your finger.” A mother I whipped her little girl then stormed 1 “If you just crook your finger, I’ll whip you again.” The child taking it literally, hid behind the house and vigorously “crooked her finger,” mut. . tering,” I’ll crook my finger just as much as I please.” But she was out • of sight and out of hearing. Perhaps these were extreme views and extreme measures, but they in. -rilled respect for parents and exert, ed helpful influence. Call it “repres. , sion” if you choose, but it beat the j impudent, unmannered “expression” I of this age. Then a child who deals thus with its own parents will be dis. 1 respectful to others and will lose emuch, thereby. “REVEALING” YOUR PAST FUTURE by Abbe’ W allace “YOUNGEST MENTALIST ON THE AMERICAN STAGE” H S —Why don’t my boy friend call on me at night?

CEASE BACKING FIRESTONE IN LIBERIA Washington, Aug.— Vigorous ob_ jection to the American policy in Li_ beria, to its backing of the Firestone interests in that country, to its pres_ sure on European countries to com. pel them to force Liberia to accept an American financial adviser to the , sending of an American white South, erner as an “observor” to Liberia,1 and to the allege!! American dictation of a Liberian budget which makes no allowance for public education, was voiced here Monday at the State de_ partmnt by a delegation of white and colored citizens for which Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis, was spokesman. The delegation charged that the Firestone loan of $2,500,000 to Lib_ eria was fraudulent and was based upon the use of slave labor. It charged also that the United States! is trying to negotiate a new agree.1 ment between Liberia and Firestone which will put the small nation fur. | ther in debt. The delegation also urged that Liberia be given time to | consider the whole matter and not be 1 subjected to the ultimatum already sent (which the State department de_ 1 nies) demanding acquiescence by September 1, 1933. The sending of General Blanton; Winship, a white Southerner, to ob_ serve in Liberia caused some sharp l exchanges between Dr. DuBois and William Phillips, assistant secretary ..of state, who received the delegation, and between Mr. Phillips and Dr. Mordecai Johnson and Miss Dorothy Detzer. Finally, just before the dele, gation left, Dr. DuBois suggested it would have been much wiser to have 1 sent a colored American instead of I General Winship. Mr. Phillips re. plied: “Yes, it might have been wiser.” i The conference lasted an hour and fifteen minutes. The delegation: Dr. DuBois, Dr. Johnson, Miss Dorothy Detzer, executive secretary of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom; Rayford W. Lo_ gan. assistant director Association for Study of Negro Life and History; Dr. Charles Wesley, Howard univers_ ity; Walter White, secretary, NAA_ CP.; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary Howard university; Mrs. Addie W. Dickerson, president International Council of Women of Darker Races; Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, Women’s In_ ternational League; A. S. Pinkett, District of Columbia NAACP.; Mrs. Daniel Partridge, Washington branch Women’s International League. Charles H. Houston, of the National Bar Association and Nannie H. Bur_ roughs of the National Association of Colored Women were members of the delegation not present bcause of ab_ sence from the city. Read THE GUIDE PRESIDENT’S N. R. A.

CONVICT 3 IN WAR ON CHICAGO RACKETS Two Men Sentenced for Life, Woman Gets 20 Years. CHICAGO, 111.—“A jury late today | convicted John Rooney, secretary, i treasurer of the Circular Distributors’ union; Henry Berry, an official of i the organization, and Rosalie Rizzo, Rooney’s reputed sweetheart, of the slaying of Stanley Gross in what authorities had termed a test case in its drive on racketeering. The punishment of Rooney and Berry was fixed at life imprisonment and the woman was sentenced to a 20_year prison term. The prosecution had charged that Gross, a watchman employed by the Goldblatt department stores, was shot down last spring during a campaign of terrorism waged against the firm by Rooney and his henchmen in an attempt to force the concern to meet the union demands in distributing its handbills The trial of the union officials and i their woman companion was pressed by State’s Attorney Courtney as one of his opening drives in a general war on racketeering w’hich has al_ ready brought indictments of a num_ ; her of prominent persons, gang lead_ ers and politicians in connection with the alleged illegal practices in the ; cleaning and dyeing and some branches of the trucking industry. During the trial, the head of the Goldblatt stores testified he had paid several thousand dollars to Rooney to end window smashing, slashing of goods and other forms of intimidation directed againt his concern Meanwhile a concerted drive on crime in the city ended its first week with a “gratifying record,” Chief Justice Prystalski said. Twenty_nine criminals, most of whom were charged with using guns in their law violations were sentenced T —=j ! “THE EAGLE AND NOT THE JIMOROW IS OUR NATIONAL BIRD (Prom the Denver Star) You can’t have prejudice, without, at the same time, having hate and fear and selfishness. We only rise above and out of prejudice when we rise above and out of the thoughts and suggestions which cause prejudice. We then clear our minds of the belief in prejudice, hate and fear. Moral: Destroy the cause of prejudice and you destroy the effect of that cause. Jim Crow must go, sometime, somehow, why not, today? Let’s you and I make America,just a little better by daily preaching and practicing it. Prejudice is built on fear selfishness and ignorance. Be it resolved, for this year and all other years, that I will face unpopularity for the sake of truth; I will declare boldly my convictions though they make me despised; I will cleanse my heart from all selfishness to the end that the will of mankind’s common Father may be more fully expressed through my life.” Let this be a lesson to you. -CLASSIFIED ADS Front Kitchenette Apt.
