NEW YORK.-The Socialists"
of New York have joined the Ku

most vicious attack upon Negro
workers.
The Jewish Forward" organ of
the socialist" party in New York,
printed an article Monday spread
ing the usual yarn of all lynchers
that white women are in danger
wherever Negroes are and that at
Camp Nitgedaiget a Negro worker
attempted to attack the girls of the
Workers International Relief camp.
By this dastardly lie the Socialist
rag is trying both to spread lynch
ing propaganda against the Ne
groes and to join the Klu Kluxers
of New York State in their attacks
against the W.I.R Children's Camp.
In an article by a certain Irving

From the experiences of the past TWO

good as ours. insofar as the county Su-
perintendent Of schools and the coroner
are concerned.
Old timers have told us there was a
closer election back in the umpty-ump
when SoandSo and WhoZIS ran neck ana
neck and the final count showed one vote
between them. Perhaps they are ught
but anything closer than the two present
races would put bigger and better men

There have been times when we have
written against capital punishment, ana
generally speaking we do not approve
o. it except in unusual cases.
1t is possible to conceive of even the
most law abiding citizen becoming a
murderer. through 4 sudden burst Of an
Ger. or in the defense of his life. his home
or his property. 4 brief moment, and
the law has right to claim his life. For
such as these we believe capital punish
ment is wrong.
We can even find some excuse for one
who takes a human life while he is en-
gagged in a crime, OF to prevent his cap
ture after the commission Of crime.
or for the slayer who is prompted by re-
venge jealousy or any other natural fea-
son. They may deserve death. but we
could temper justice with mercy IN their
cases.
For the hired slayer, who kills for
money, we have only the Feeling that it
is pity he must be permitted to live
long enough for q legal trial.
Such a case has arisen in Los Angeles
this week. wherein rat who looked
and walked like a man, killed woman,
for hire The rat needed money and
agreed to kill the woman for $4,000 He
did his foul deed and was given roll of
dimes amounting TO something over 50.
1t is hard to conceive Of any human
being lower than this rat. yet there is
one-the husband of the slain woman.
who hired the rat He is not even de-
serving the term rat. We can find
none low or bad enough for him.
Under the Law these two human oar
nacles are entitled to fair trial. 1t
seems a pity that they should be per-
mitted to breathe the air for one moment
after their admissions of their crime
If capital punishment is ever justified,
it is in the case of these two and if there
is any semblance of justice left in the
courts they will be given the full penal
ty of the law with bit Of regret that it
couldn't be more.

King 1ntimates Power
 Company Item Fiction

Washington. Feb. 70 - Intimation that the Northern Connecticut Pow CT company made an inaccurate financial statement to the Federal Power commission was given 10 the senate interstate commerce con- mittec yesterday by William V. King. chief accountant of the com- mission.
 He said the power company in re- porting it's capital investment" had included an item of :l,050,000 as representing water power rights. which claim Mir. King thought was practically fictitious and which the company itself told federal income tax authorities was fictitious. and should not be taken into account. Yet. indicated King. inc power com. pany retained this item in its state. ment to the commission.
 The company was acquired last summer by the Connecticut Electric Service company in which Repub. liCan National Committeeman J. Henry EorabaCk is interested.
