which labels him the “DADDY OF

some business ideas that most peo

Chicago & Chicagoans
CHICAGO—AND CHICAGOANS
By Clifford C. Mitchell
Impressions of Sights, Seen!
Perhaps the most vivid impression
of the week concerns a little church
that I dropped into with a friend one
evening. It was a very small church.
Looked like a remodeled store front,
and from the strains of the music
heard from the outside one would
never know it was a church. In fact
it was the music that attracted me
but my friend knew that it was a
church—one of peculiar doctrines and
customs. You know one of those
churches where after a certain per
iod everyone gets happy and shout
and dance and hug and kiss each
other The more my friend described
it to me the more I decided to enter
and if I got happy too I would start
grabbing my friend right off the bat.
So we entered.
They %vere having singing testimon
ials. One at a time a person would
get up and sing some song while the
other members would clap their hands
something like an old-time cabin
party. It really sounded good Even
tually one little dark girl, she could
not have been over e'ghteen, got up
and sang. And then was when I fell
in love with that church. Could that
baby sing? What she was doing sbig
ing in there was beyong me. If some
theatrical or cabaret producer should
ever happen in that church I am afraid
that they would shortly after be mis
sing one of their singing saints for
that baby had a deep contralto voice j
that given the popular songs of the |
day she would pack any theatre or |
cabaret and the race would be hear. ^
ing of a new blues singer who had
suddenly captivated the hearts of
America’s audiences. I was reminded
of a story of how, years ago, Harry;
H Pace, when he was with the Black ,
cwan Phonograph Company, first ran
across Ethel Waters singing in a
back woods amusement place and j
brought her to the front making her
an instant hit. Well, that’s all that
little girl needs is for someone to
brirg her out to a different kind of
audience. At any rate this girl sang
about a dozen verses of some sort of
song that made everybody happy—
made them so happy that the preacher
got up and danced—and then said he
was dancing a danca of love and that
he was not “snakehipping” or doing
any of the other modern versions but
just a dance of love. However, he did
keep perfect time and made others
feel as though they wanted to dance
too.
After this girl got through singing
everyone was hot and peppy, and then
the jazz orchestra struck up and the
preacher took the floor and did he
carry them through their paces— no
cabaret could have put on a better
show. The preacher stated that soon
they were going to be in a brick
building and then they could blow the
lid off, as it was they had to be a
little bit discreet so they stopped
dancing long enough to take up a
collection while everybody was happy.
After the collection we left hut in a
way I regretted not staying for I
learned that the big show didn’t come
off until after about two or three
hours of warming up, and I am sure
that if that audience got much warm
er than they were when we left that
their warmth would be contagious—
and a pleasant evening would have
been had by all.
As I get around the city here and
there I see so many peculiar sights
that some of them otherwise would
seem difficult of belief. Usually I am
in a hurry and I don’t take time to '
jot down notes but depend only on
memory but someday I am going to
take pencil and pad and everything
peculiar seen that day I am going to
jot it down and then in this space I’ll
devote the entire column by giving
just a sentence or two of many in
teresting or peculiar things seen in
just one days time. Some things ap
pear extremely ridiculous while many
others not only are ridiculous but
they carry with them a touch of
pathos that is demoralizing to a dis
position sucb as mine who hates to,
see misery, trouble and poverty.
Each section of the city has its
ghetto and in each the manners and 1
customers are different but the hu
man touch is the same in each and
they are all facing the same 'economic
problems, some bravely and others
tragically. At least we can always
find others who are worse off than
Qu.rsleves and in a way that is some
consolation— to us.
Prisons and Prisoners
By Clifford C. Mitchell
Answering Correspondents.
So many letters have accumulated
that to expedite their reply I am i
using this space in doing so.
I shall quote from a letter written
by a mother in San Diego, California:
“ . . Am writing you in regard to
my son He is at Jackson Wm G
Buck, Number 20140 1 wondered if
you could tell me how to go about
getting a job for him It seems he is
ready for parole and I have kept to
myself so much since he was there
and trying to make a living for my
self I have lost connection with any
one that could give him work. I have
saved enough while he was there to
come to him or have him come to me
but they say he has to have work
first . . ”
This letter is but typical of at least
a dozen others that are right here
before me and I Can reply to all in
about the same manner For real
pathos the above quotation tells a
whole story. Judging from the pri
soner’s number I would say that he
has been in prison for seven or eight
years and during all this time the
little mother has been working, thou
sands of miles away, and has saved
enough money so that when her son’s
time is up that he can come to her.
Now that the time is up, and even
with the necessary money available,
she cannot have the son come to her
until he has some assurance of a job.
No wonder the little mother is wor
ried and don’t know what to do No
doubt, in San Diego, as everywhere
else, there are hundreds of men walk
ing the streets who are unable to find
employment and naturally the mother
doesn’t know how to obtain a job for
her son. It is.a cruel situation. It
would seem that the very fact that
the prisoner had served, or nearly 3o,
his alloted amount of minimum time. |
that he could go to his mother w’.ec
has worked all these years and has a
home provided for him and can fur
nish him his transportation to get
there Surely with such a mother’s
love the son would be kept straight
until he could find some sort of work
for himself But n°> an additional
penalty must be paid not only by this
prisoner but by a good many others,
and they continue serving until they
can secure a job, which to a man in
prison without influential outside
contacts is almost next to an impos
sibility, see he serves on and on and
on—at the taxpayer’s expanse 1j
mother and others, I can
only auggest that under the present
circumstances, your case becomes a
charitable one, and if you do not
know any influential employers than
try and interest some of the charity
workers, such as your local Salvation
Army, Volunteers of America, your
pastor or others who perhaps might
know someone who will offer the son
emplyoment so that he can come
home to his mother.
A letter from a prisoner’s relative
in Summit, Mississippi, is most touch,
ing. In this case it is personally
touching for I know the prisoner in
question—have known him for nearly
a dozen years— Paul Thomas, Num
ber 14078, Jackson, and I have ever
wondered, first, why he received such
an excessive sentence, and second,
why he was never able to secure fav.
orable executive clemency. And this
case is just the opposite to most
cases. He not only can secure em
ployment but to my personal know
ledge he has three different homes
that he can enter for life, if neces
sary Should he care to go to Miss
issippi he can live the balance of his
life on a large plantation owned by
his own relatives and the leading
white men of his country will vouch
for the prisoner. It might interest my
Summit reader to know that just last
week I asked Mr. Charles C. Diggs,
the colored member of the Parole De
partment in Michigan, to look into
tins case personally and try to do
something for him, and as Mr. Diggs
did so much for myself I am satisfied
he will also be successful in doing
something for Paul Thomas.
And to the little mother in Tenn
essee who writes again. I am sorry
to say it but I have no influence what
ever with the Illinois authorities and
I am unable, as you suggest, to go
to Joliet and get your son out, even
if his minimum has been served. Try
and have the authorities agree to send
him home to you. That’s the best
place for him.

ARTHUR GARFIELD HAYS
SEES COURTS HURT BY
PREJUDICE
NEW YORK — (CNS) — Arthur
Garfield Hayg sets out in his new
book, “Trial by Prejudice,” just pub
lished, somethings aDout recent cases
that have aroused his fury. Because
“people know little and care less
about the facts or the evidence” in
many court cases, Mr. Hays declares,
“arouse my fury,” and because he
hopes his indignation may be conta
gious, he has attempted in thrs book
“to pre«ent the facts in cases where
prejudice has caused injustice.”
Tn one ancient trial ordeal he finds
a striking sftnilarty to some of the
modern trals of which he tells. This
ordeal applied to those who could not
swim. The accused was thrown into a
deep lake.
“If he drowned,” Mr Hays writes,
“he was adjudged innocent; if some
how he got safely to shore ho was
forthwith pronounced guilty and exe
cuted”.
“The parallel is found today, “he
adds in a footnote, “in the cases of
Negroes, I W W ’s and others who
have faced death by trial. When ac
quitted they have sometimes been
lynched—they have often been com
pelled to flee.”
In his book he gives most space to
the Scottsboro case, and has a hun
dred pages on Mooney and Billings.
There are seven more cases, Cen
tralia, Gastonia, Angelo Herndon, Leo
Frank, Sacco.Vanzetti, Baldwin vs.
Bridge, Harlan and Bell Counties,
Kentucky, which he discusses as case3
in which prejudice “served as the
thirteenth juror ” There are 6 others,
including those of Charleg E Mitchell
and McNamara, discussed by Mr
Hays. In these, he says, “men were
acquitted in the face of the bitterest
prejudice.”
In his introduction he says that “in
the ordinary case the innocent man i3
in little danger of conviction.” ,
“If the issue, however, arouse the
emotions, if it involves questions of
race, color, religion, politics or opin
ions, then we no longer have an or
iinary criminal case.
“In the vast majority of such
rases, it would see that the judge or
iury need only an excuse to convict.”
And in a footnote he adds:
The situation would, in my judg
ment be worse if we abolished the
jury system. A judge is as much af
fected by his predispositions and pre
judices as any one else, and the
necessity of a unanimous vote of
:welve is some protection.
