Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau ) To Police Commissioner .John F Ryan of New York City, is attributed this statement: “The police find it difficult to understand a social sys tem which concerns itself with the so called rights of criminals and so little with the safety and security of the law-abiding public.” In this we have the cause of crime checked up to society—to the weak ness which makes so many turn “sob si sters” in regard to criminals who laugh at this maudlin sympathy and go on with their careers of crime. This responsibility rests upon the electorate which elects an unworthy and unscrupulous judiciary; on the of ficials who misuse the parole power and the pardoning power; on grafting directors of prisons who “make it tasy” for rich criminals; on those un worthy political bosses who corrupt the ignorant and encourage the vic ious by using them to build and main tain corrupt political machines. But all this is understandable Two things are chiefly responsible. Let-down of the church in fighting against un righteousness, and failure of the homes to give proper training to and to exercise requisite restraint of the youth of the nation. It is a serious charge, but churches are “particeps criminis” when their leaders accept political “slush money” and use the influence of the church to elevate corrupt men and women to political positions. NEW YORKERS PROTEST AGAINST IMPRISONMENT OF FAMOUS HAITIAN AUTHOR New York.—CNA—A delega tion of 17 prominent Negro and white professionals and labor leaders visited the office of the local Haitian consul here last week. They demanded the imme diate unconditional release of Jacques Romain and all political prisoners in Haiti. Romain was railroaded to jail for organizing Scottsboro Defense Committee. The local consul, Charles Vin cent, promised to submit the form al protest and demand to his brother, Stenio Vincent, president of Haiti. Remain Beloved By Haitians Jacques Romain is a Haitian au thor highly esteemed in France and beloved by the oppressed peo ple of his native country. Be cause of his untiring fight for the rights of all the oppressed, Hai tian officials fear him. For his activity in organizing a Scootsboro committee, he was thrown into prison on the trump ed up charge of importing materi als into Haiti for the overthrow of the government. The govern ment based its charge on the dis tortion of the word “materiaux” to mean war arms. The only ma terials the government found in Romain’s possession were co l pies of “Le Cri de Negroes,” or gan of the French Negro workers. He was eourt-martialled and sen tenced to three years imprison ment. An appeal for a new trial w*as refused on a technicality. One reason why women are gen erally so much more cheerful than men is because they can work with the needle, and so endlessly vary their employment.—Mme. de Se vigne. DOINGS AMONG THE DINING GAR AND HOTEL WAITERS By Hopie “BETWEEN YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW" What have I done to be remembered? Between ;*esterday and tomorrow? Have I done something to make some tremble And caused them grief and sorrow? Oh, have I done one little deed? To cause gladness to replace sor row? Oh, God, tell me I have, I plead, Between yesterday and tomorrow. For one good little deed, done gladly, Will make your heart bright and gay For between yesterday and tomorrow, spent gay or sadly. Is just today swiftly passing away. Friends: I truly hope you like my poem, and if you can grasp it as you should, and I think you will, you will get a lot of good out of it. Plant it In your mind, and try to say it at least once a day and instead of all that ballyhoo that you make a daily study, try to do some good deed, no matter how small, and you will find pleasure after pleas ure coming into your life. Between yesterday and tomorrow will be the happiest day of your life. Try it! When we look back and see yesterday gone without any gain, and today fastly passing with the same, we know our fate for tomorrow will not be a bright one. And we should know that tomorrow expects more of us than :f Aristobulus. 1. Sense of Responsibility. No ioubt he recognized the importance of his position, the responsibilty which rested on him, and the indications are that he measured up to the require ments and proved equal to the exigen ces. 2. Application to Modern Condi tions. As this man was responsible (or his own household, so is every man. The indications are that he labored to make his family a blessing bo themselves and to others; so should the head of every family. No doubt be gave them a living example of what should be done; so should every house holder. <3. His Reward. There must have been great consolation in seeing his children making good, and by good conduct, meriting and holding the re spect of the community- This privi lege may be the portion of every father, and the world needs more fathers and householders of the type »f Aristobulus. 1LTA VESTA—A GIRL’S PROBLEM By Videtta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau.)
