LYNCH COURT IN

FOR NEGRO YOUTH

PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 4.-Willie
Brown, framed-up Negro youth,
was found guilty yesterday by
jury from which Negroes were de-
HberateIy excluded. The 'triaI'
was rushed through in a tense
lynch atmosphere. Young Brown
was arrested on the charge of
numbering white girl. The arrest.
ing officer admitted that he had
no other reason for arresting the
youth except a 'Fhunch" ard the
fact that the youth did not look so
good.
Local Negro reformists openly
helped the bosses carry through
the frame-up. A few days before
the trial." John NJ. Marques, ex-
allied ruler of the Quaker City
Lodge, made a vicious attack
against the youth, In which he also
questioned the character of the
boys mother. He attacked the In
ternationai Labor Defense for Its
exposure Of the frameup against
the boy, declaring that the /. L.
DIS expose represented an unjust
procedure calculated to inture the
fairmindedness of colored people of
Philadelphia" This was an attempt
to get the Negro masses to believe
in the fairness" and Justice" of
the courts of the bosses who rob
and Cypress them. This is a repe-
tition of the tactics of the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People. In their attack

Jailed men. Moreover the number of tests was
usually quite inadequate
But in spite of his protest then the doctrine
still attracted. So Mr.. McAtee bded his time,

lives under natural conditions. Now, in tech

and identified by experts
The insects and other things taken as food
by tens of thousands of binds have been counted
and listed, and the summary is set forth in. Mr..
McAtee's book. In addition, he has collected
feeding records of other animals from all parts
Of the world and made note of them.

the most poisonous spiders, as well as the big

Where Human Life Is Cheap
LA gal by r. A.rAdams liaW
( The Literary Service Bureau) M

Often we hear the expression,
for dear life 1t is used to be
apropos, but considering actual
conditions, it is obsolete, in this
country. In this money-mad,
c~rime-ridden country no longer is
life dear-it is almost the cheap
est thing Confirmation of this
contention is in the reign of law
lessenss and the multiplicity of
murders in America. ht h9Ra aol
The notorious Young brothers
killed perhaps a dozen men before
they ended their own lives. Not
long ago robbers killed seven
members Of a family because the
head Of the family could not
comply with the demands for
$4,000. Gang killings, wholesale
and retail, are of every day occur
renee. Parents kill themselves
and their own children and often
children kill their own parents in
order to gain possession Of their
property.
Nearly every day women are
brutally murdered BY men who
were tired Of thems or14were jeaL
Gus of them. Women kill women
like the bloody Ruth Judd who
murdered two womengawho had
been her close friends. Women
kill men, also, q;oftentimes their
own husbands and many times
men Of whom they are enamoured
and of whom they are jealous. Ift
The only negation of this con-
tention that life is cheap is in the
efforts of criminal lawyers to save
the lives OF the perpetrators Of
these dastardly crimes. These
legal mercenaries exhaust their
ingenuity in striving to win sym
pathy for murderers. They plead
the dearness of human life--life
of the criminal--and forget those
who have been ruthlessly murder
cd, and others who will suffer be-
cause Of the laxness Of the law
and its failure to punish crime eff
fectively. 4ane aTu- Han1iia X sFHf
