trict.
Electric power production ac
cording to the New York Times

ded February 9 was only one per
cent below the highest production
ever recorded for the comparable
period, and almost 7 percent over
the week for 1934.
Automobiles are being sold as
fast as they are made, report lead
ing manufacturers. Dealers’
stocks are abnormally low. Feb

tions at about 55 percent of capa-j
city .
Freight carloadmg increased;
3.3 per cent for the week ended
February 16, over the. comparable
week of last yeas, reports the New j
York Times. A decrease of less
than one per cent under the figure

to retarded movements in grain,
livestock and coke.
Thus far this year orders in the
plumbing trade are averaging 20
per cent, to 35 per cent above
those for the comparable period
of 1934 .according to Dun and

THE RIGHTS OF CRIMINALS
By R. A. 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 :<esterday beccause in this fast
progressing world it is expected of us
to do something between yesterday
and tomorrow. Think this over care
fully, and act as you see fit. But re
member if you don’t consider tomor
row, when it comes and ill health, mis
fortune or the hand of fate grasps
you, there is no one but yourself to
blame. Remember, what I am saying;
While you are having a good time, as
you call it, and your so-called friends
are sipping those cocktails while you
pay for them today, they may laugh
at you when you are unable to do it
tomorrow. Who knows any better
than you how quick your friends can
forget you when all of your cash is
gone. What did I say last week?
Never be a better friend to anyone
than you are to yourself, and by so ‘
doing, you will be a good friend to !
your friends. |Just a tip, take it or
leave it.
several of the men have asked me
for some of my toasts, and while I am
in the mood, I will give you one that
you can say anywhere. I will also
give you one each week, but like the
mind reader tells you, some of them
you will have to have a private read
ing. Here it is, and I hope you like
it:
Have you ever loved someone,
When you knew they weren’t loving
you?
Have you ever dreamed a perfect
» dream
To wake and find it wasn’t true7
Huh?
Have you ever tried to make things
seem true
When you knew it would be all in
vain?
Have you ever said, “If I lose my gal,
I will go, T am sure, completely in
sane” ?
Well, put them all together, and
I will tell you what to do
Never start loving anyone
Until you are sure they are loving
J’ou- By Hopie.
Oh, yes: Draper tells me that1
night life is really a tight life. Be
lieve me, and last Sunday night, some
one put a nickle in the piano, and it
started the whole house at Jim Bells
to begin to swing, to and fro, to the
Tiger Rag. And by some means or
ether, it caused the Tiger to go on the
war path and, believe me, some of the
Paxton waiters failed to escape the
mighty claws, and the result was an
extra day, and a little extra pay, for
the extra waiters. Cooperation, I say.
Live and let live says Calloway. Cap
tain Booth said, “There is some good
in all evil”. True, Captain. So true.
News comes to me that the U. P.
boys are packing their grips and
trunks to be ready to locate back in
old California. Baker Heater is red
hot, and it may burn out something.
You can never tell. Lots of other
good news seems to be in the Heater.
But let s wait and see, and if so, we
will have plenty time to talk about
it. Don’t you think?
Here is news for you, listen: Our
old, no not old. but Bert Moore has
decided to try a comeback, and he is
really making a good stab at it.
Makes the old saying true, “A race
horse always feels that he can still
run a race”, and the late picture say
ing, “Once a pancake, always a pan
cake”.
Warning! Don’t ever put your age
in the paper no matter what happens.
Last week there appeared in the pa
per the age of a waiter, and what a
shock. One man said he was 53, and
he bussed for this man at the Chief
tian, across the river, 20 years ago,
and said he heard that this yaiter
was a bussboy on Noah’s Ark. Oh,
me!
Thanks, Mr. Watson. Mr. R. Wat
son was successful in getting another
place for the boys, and if possible I
am sure he will place several more
of our race out there. This :s a very
beautiful place, located out on Saddle
Creek road, called the Saddle Creek
Garden”. Mr. Lawrence Tucker is
out there with Mr. Watson, and Mr.
Art Wilkins is playing the saxophone.
We all join in hoping Mr. Watson and
others much success, and hope that
this is a step forward, for us this sum
mer. Remember. Mr. Watson, “La
bor conquers all”.
Speaking of labor. That means
‘woik’. So here is a poem about it.
The men who are not satisfied
Are they who set the pace
The men who do not meet defeat
With calm contented face.
The men who labor on and on
With minds and fingers skilled
They are the great unsatisfied
Who plan and fight and build.
Keep this in your mind, Mr. Watson,
and you will succeed.
Well, Mr. Shearron lost two days
last week, and still goes to show that
it doesn't pay to stand up for your
self w'hen you are right. They still
want us to take low, regardless. Oh,
God, when will man be the man You
wish him to be? Forget it, Shearron!
I would like to say to the Young
waiters class, keep the good work up.
Work harder all the time to accom-1
plish that which is given you and
may mean the beginning of your sue- j
cess. I am sorry, indeed, that I
haven’t been able to meet you. This
week old man sickness had me, but
hope to be able to meet you next week.
Remember, work today, and enjoy it
tomorrow.
There is some talk in the air about
a style show down in Harlem, but I
haven’t received full details of it as
yet, but will slip it to you when more
information comes in. Watch for it.

is not certain whether he was a be
liever or not; but the name signifies a
?ood adviser or good counsellor. The
members of his household must have
seen people worthwhile for in this
:ext Paul sends salutations to them
And no doubt the worthiness of his
household, his wife, his children and
his servants was due to the wise
:ounsel, good advice and good example
>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.

Dear little Daughter:
Your letter was bright and spark
ing. I- am glad you had a nice party

So, I’m your banker, am I? Ye3,
iear, I am. But you do not write a
:heck to your banker, but on your
janker. A check is an order on your

janker, but that is not the regular
vay of expressing it. I am sending
rou money to purchase all that was
)n your list and a little more. Have
parties whenever your dear aur£
dunks advisable and bring into your
foung life all the innocent pleasure
possible. Give m*r love to Aunt Cor
