DANGEROUS BUSINESS

A negro, condemned to be hanged at San Quentin
prison has been granted repreve by Governor Young,
enable further evidence be presented prove that
the accused should suffer the death penalty
From the evidence presented in the case it would
appear that capital punishment in this particular
might be dangerous. The condemned
vcted of killing his wife upon the testimony of his nine
year old daughter, who testified that she heard the
death shot. heard her fater dismenberng the body,
and him leave the house with gunnysacks his
back The body was never recovered.
Imposing the extreme penalty upon circumstan-
tal evidence is at best dangerous proceeding. To
execute when the absolute proof that murder
has been committed is absent is extremely dangerous
child of nine years has very vivid imagination at
times. The condemned mans attorney claims to have
produced witness who declares that the woman
stated several weeks before the supposed murder that
she intended to leave her home The governor is act
ing wisely in giving this witness opportunity to be
heard.
When one considers the notorious Clara Phillips
case, in which there the slightest ota of doubt
as to pren.edtated and coldblooded murder - the
murderess getting off with prison term, it al
together wrong to hang this negro.
1t is such differences in the law this that make
one wonder after all just how much justice any of
can get if unfortunate enough to get into the
courts. The law requires that proof of murder be
abshed beyond any reasonable doubt. There appears
to be plenty of doubt in this

THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN

Trotzky, the man who with Lenne was the heart
and soul of the Russian Soviet, is shunted off to
Asia Minor, 'unwept, unhonored and unsung."
The man whose word was law for millions of peo
pie, now takes his order from his chief adversary
Stalin-and obedently sinks into obscurity.
1t took decade for Trotzky to reach the heights
and fall to the depths exile from the center of pow
er in his country. Ten years ago. he, with Lenne
carved out ruthless campaign of determination
against all who opposed them and showed quarter
to those they considered enemies.
Lenine, dead, is considered hero and the leading
figure in modern Russian history. Trotzky alive, is
nobody. Not guard of honor to add touch of
dignity to his departure from Moscow. Stain took
good of that, guarding against any possible out
break from the minority who might consider Trotzky
martyr.
With him go into oblivion, his chief supporters,
who may consider themselves equally fortunate
their leader that they did not face firing squad.
The once powerful minister of war leaves control
of the government he founded to his biterest enemies
Who will be the next to go? When will Russia
itself from the drab slough into which it has fall
len in decade, shake off the manaces of communism,
which stfle all individual effort, and take the place
that naturally hers among the nations of the earth?

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BRUSH PILE

One day after Uncle Wiggilv had
hoppped out of his hollow stump
bungalow to go adventuring, he
heard a voice calling, just as he
passed an old pile of brush that
stuck up through the snow.
"Hold on. Wait a minute if
YOU please. Why are YOU in such a
hurrv?'' the voice asked.
"Dear! There's one of the Bad
Chaps now.' said Uncle Wiggily to
himself. "And l am hardly out of
sight of my bungalow he added,
for the old stump, which he had
made over into cute little house,
was just beyond the top of the
hill.
"Wait minute. the voice went
on.
"Sounds like the Bob Cat or the
Fox, I can't tell which, murmured
Mr.. Longears to himself. "But
there's one thing sure. m not GO

Luckily | am not far from home. 4
can hop back and lock myself in be
fore they catch me. "
The rabbit gentleman was Just
going TO do this when he heard the
voice again, and this time it was
very sad ~ il said:
"Please help me, as you helped
the Old Sail Fence to become happy

That is unconvncng to most of his felloW-coun-
trymen. How many American women has he seen?
How thoroughly has he seen them? What his STAN
dards of judgment?
More "arresting," a literary person would say
is his statement that losing their charm
because they trying too hard to be masculine Also
that men, after spelling and msguiding their
folk, themselves growing "sssified''
The women becoming like men, and the
men more like
That is not good. Nature probably knew what
she was about when she made separate sexes and
strongly differentiated them. Both needed in the
scheme of thingsnot only the physical types but the
mental and spiritual types. Mankind will probably

and continue differentatng instead of imitat
