Just like in the old days when

The caroling groups included

THE OBSER YER
FRED G. THOMAS

But few have the courage to admit
a wrong, to confess a mistake even
though facts be piled up against them.
They are so much in love with their
own opinions; so much obsessed with
an over-weening self-esteem, and SO
much deluded by notions OF their i'm
peccability they affect to believe that
all they think, say, and do Is right, no
matter what the evidence and the
facts may be to the contrary.
These people have but one eye, and
that eye is turned inward. 1t sees
nothing but themselves. 1t does not
recognize the disaster which the exe-
cution Of their cramped and distorted
judgments entail. 1t gazes within.
They are resentful of contrary opin.
ionss and are impervious to truth, for
in their repulsive self-esteem they are
the truth, the light and knowledge.
All else is folly and stupidity.

ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT
CHANGES DEATH SEN.
TENcE TO 21 YEARS

Little Rock, Ark. JuIypS.-The death
sentences given Louis and Ebert
Blake, father and son, of Camden,
Ark, for the fatal shooting last
Christmas day of Brad Polk, white
plantation owner, were reduced by the
Arkansas supreme court July to 81
years in prison. The court found
that the evidence used to convict the
men was not sufficient to call for the
death penalty.
The Blakes shot Polk when he
came to their cabin Christmas morn
Ing, accusing them of stealing a piece
of harness. The Blakes said they
went into the cabin to avoid trouble
with Polk, but that he drew a gun
and fired into their home They tes-
tilted they shot to defend themselves,
Mrs. Blakes and smaller children.
Judge Scipio A. Jones of this city was
retained as attorney for the appeal
by the Camden Branch of the Nation

of Colored People and the National Of
nee of the Association In New York.
Plans are under way to secure fur

MORAL COURAGE.

Next to the unemployment situa-
tion. the all absorbing topic of great
interest before the people, is the ques.
ton Of prohibition and what to do
with it. t
Many and varied are the plans ad-
yanced in the treatment of the pre-
sent prohibition law. The prohibition
amendment was enacted in good faith
by those who really believed that 1t
would do away with liquor and its
evils, backed by those who were per-
fectly willing to try, has had ten
year trial. An old saying, says
"There are none so blind as those
who won't see." So that to all others
it Is plain that the prohibition law Is
a failure. 1t takes a great deal 1of
courage to about face on question
one has held dear to his or her way
of thinking. So that the stand that
John D. Rockefeller has taken has
been the source of an interesting com.
ment in the STAR OF ZION, official
organ of the Zion A. NJ E. church.
The editorial is here reproduced: =
Moral courage is a great and rare
they nauseate US.
They are weak in moral fibre; weak
in constructive effort. They are blind
and can not see; they are deaf and
can not hear.
Mr.. John d. Rockefeller Jr., has
recently given a fine exhibition of
moral courage. An ardent "dry" as
all his fathers were, contributing $780,
900 toward the noble cause of prohi-
bition, confesses that, in his judg-
ment, he has made a mistake. He
says, in a letter to President Mich

UNIONIsM AS A SOCIAL FORCE

The value of the trade union move
ment cannot be measured by wage in
creases, unless these increases are
associated with higher living stand
ards, more diffused education and a
more enlightened citizenship. Union
ism is social force because it's heart
is morally and ethically sound. 1t is
never found pleading for special priv
ilege. Wage rates it asks for are
met by the non-union employer. Its
pleas for the adjustment of child la
Dor include children of workers who
take no part in the fight for better
conditions. It's demands that life and
limb be protected in shop and mine
include all workers. It's creed is all
embracing-regardless of sex, relig-
ious belief, politics, nationality or
color-it invites all wage earners to
join with it in the effort for higher
type of manhood and womanhood.
The time has passed when the trade
union movement must apologize for
it's existence or defend it's purposes.
It's position is invulnerable because it
is supported by grim necessity and
by the highest ideals that have act
uated mana larger degree of lib
erty. A movement founded on these
two elements can withstand any
shock, as has been proven times with
out number by the trade unions.

A Happy and
Prosperous New Year
To All
RETURN OF SLAVE LABOR

Long and bitter was the war OF
cesession fought by the armies of the
North and the South in the eighteen
hundreds. Out of the struggle came
many issues that aroused every man
in the land.
Today, our chief cause to remember
the Civil War is the freedom given
the slaves of the southern land own
ers. Today, it is an accepted thought
that the United States is free from
slave labor, free from forced labor
free from bondage.
We, in our SNUG way, silently say
under our breath, "of course we know
that prisoners have to work, they are
forced to work, but then after all
that's their bad luck, they shouldn't
have gotten into prison."
But when prison labor, paid fo,
and supported by the taxes of the
citizens of the respective states, is
hired out to private interests for COM
pensation-compensation that fills
the pockets of officials, then it is
time to quit talking behind our hand
and rise in righteous indignation at
such dastardly conduct.
Such a condition has arisen in
Arkansas. Labor leaders there have
recognized the need for drastic action
in fighting the lease system.
County officials adopted a plan to
lease prisoners to commercial and
agriculture employers at wage of
rs cents a day. This sum to apply

MAKING JOBS IN ROCHESTER,


An intensive campaign to provide
emergency jobs for the unemployed
of Rochester, N. Y, is reported at
tracing wide attention. The Roches-
ter campaign involves canvassing of
every household, industrial and busi-
ness firm and building owner by
teams under district captains. Each
person called upon is asked to under
take improvement or other work
about home, grounds or factory build
ing that will furnish winter employ
ment for jobless men. Each person is
also urged to use his normal buying
power in purchasing furnishings
equipment and clothing.
The plan is not new, having beer
tried in some form in other cities
with varying success, but Rochester is
giving it a thorough test. 1t is plan
ned to reach the entire population OF
the city with the requests for co
operation. Undoubtedly there are
many persons in Rochester and il
every city who can provide emer.
gency work of some kind which
however inadequate it may be, is bet
ter than handouts" Cincinnati is
taking up the plan, and it looks te
the Press like a good plan for al
cities to consider.
