you have said the boy is not guilty. Gentlemen
you are discharged
The negro had been convicted but had not yet
been sentenced when this rebuke addressed
to the Jury The judge calling him to the bar,
said: az have had before me this week two causes
of manslaughter growing out of killings by truck
one of the accused being negro, the other white
boy. Of the two, the boy is perhaps the gutier.
The boy is free at the hands of the jury, and it
now becomes my duty to sentence the negro" The
sentence was then pronounced.
In the trial of the negro the evidence was sharp
ly conflicting as to the speed of the truck and the
position on the highway of the man who was killed.
In the trial of the white boy, the defendant Of
fered no evidence, and four eye-wtnesses testified
that the boy was breaking the highway law
1t is an old story: discrimination in court OF
so-called justice against the poor and frlendesS'
But what we have in mind at the moment is an
other aspect of the episode the fact that the driver
of one of the death-dealing trucks was only 10
years old.
The law of the state forbids anybody less than
Is years old to drive an automobile. Yet Accord
ing to the newspaper report of the trial. nothing
was said about this. 1t seems to us that charge
of violating the age-limit law should have been
brought against the father of the boy or the owner
of the truck, or both.
The extent to which the law is violated is q
scandal Every day. on the streets and highways
in North Carolina, one sees automobiles, driven
by boys under 16 and the authorities do nothing
about it. We should like to see the highway pa
troll, sheriffs and police make roundup of par
ents who allow their to be driven by children
and when the roundup is made we should like to
see stiff penalties melted out. few sizeable fines
by the proper publicity, would do
much to discourage this dangerous practice

THE THIRD WALLOP

The cotton processing tax, in the opinion of the
Gastonia Gazette is ''injurng the farmer in re,
strictng the market for his output and is injuring
the textile industry by making operations less
tain and less stable"
Since mills have had to increase wages and re-
duce hours, the North Carolina newspaper adds
the processing tax is the third wallop the cotton
mills have had to suffer in the way of increased
costs of manufacturing"
And it is a wallop that jeopardizes survival of
the recovery program in the textile field
Washington put the tax on, and mill owners
mill operatives, farmers cotton goods retailers and
the southern public look to Washington to find a
means to take it off or to reduce it sharply.-The

DIR MODERN MEDIEVALIsM

Elaborate precautions are being taken to guard
the second and sole surviving Lindbergh child
against KIDNAPPING. Armed guards patrol the
grounds of the Morrow residence. Around the eH-
tate is high and strong wire fence. Within, con-
cealed at strategic points, telephones leading
to the mansion itself and also to the offices of the
local and state police that help may be prompt
ly summoned 1t is claimed that the Engewood
police with automatic rifles and machine guns,
could reach the site in minute and half, while
the state police would be on hand within five min
utes.
There is nothing strange in this touching solicit
tude of the Lindberghs for their second son. when
one thinks of the fate of the first. Who can blame
their anxiety? And where are the kidnapers who
more than year ago murdered Charles Augustus
Lindbergh Jr.? Still safely at large, presumably
enjoying the fruits of their crime.
We think of the castles of medieval Europe, such
as those at Berkeley and Caerphilly surrounded by
moats or situated on islands, fortified by massive
towers and walls of almost incredible thickness,
guarded by sentries day and night In those days
men feared bandits and marauders, who, rowing
through the country, took whatever they had the
power to take. Looking back to those medieval
times, we call them the Dark Ages, and marvel at
the depravity and lawlessness of then men who
then lived
How much difference is there between a medic
val marauder and gangster? Not much, we think.
Certain it seems that sometimes in their raids our
present-day bandits enjoy success quite equal to
that of their prototypes and excite equal ter
ror. After ALL is progress so great as we SUP
pose? And we wonder if in our modern crime
wave, driving respectable people to extraordinary
measures to protect themselves and their families

ENGINEER NO RADICAL, BUT HE HAS
REVOLUTIONIZED LIFE
(By BRUCE CATTONl

The Engineering Foundation, in New
York, recently set out to discover just how
unemployment affects the morale and the
ideals of men who are out of work.
1t learned, oddly enough, that engineers
as a class are not filled with radical no.
tions when they lose their jobs. They get
resentfu and discouraged, naturally-but
they don't swing off toward Communism
or similar panaceas, as some JobleSs men
do. Most of them are content to have the
old system continue. All they want is to
get their jobs back.
And all of this simply shows how little
meaning that word ''radicalSm" really has
nowadays. Engineers are generally ultra
conservative in their political and economic
beliefs This survey has shown that they
mostly stay that way even under the pres
sure of unemployment. And yet engineers
as class probably have done more to
change our form of society, our scheme Of
government and our economic organiza-
ton than any other class alive.
To be sure, they have done it without
in the last intending to. But they have
done it, just the same, and they will con-
tinue to do so for long time to come.
The engineering which gave us railroads
and steamboats, made it possible for the
United States to expand over a continent
without splitting up into a group OF indie
pendent nations. 1t was engineering that
doomed Jefferson's dream of land Of
small farmers and small cities; engineer
ing that gave the south a cotton empire
engineering that developed our big cities,
exploited our mines and gave us our fac
tory civilization.
1t was the engineer, blithely thinking of
nothing on earth except the age-old prob
lem of how to get the most work done with
the least energy, who gave us mass pro-
duction, automobiles, electric power, mod
ern communications and a network of good
highways. And in giving us all of these
things he set in motion forces which have
changed our form of society almost beyond
comprehension and bid fair to make equa
changes in the future.
The engineer is not radical" it seems
Well, why should he be? He ignores poll
tics, economics and sociology-and re
makes all three of these perplexing sci
ences overnight.
He may think he is.the very essence o.
conservatism; and yet he sows the seed'
of greater changes than all the long-hairet
theorizers that ever lived. .. o.

While they have not given up hope
In their efforts to obtain public works
funds for the construction of an armory
here, officials are marking time await
ing some definite word as to what the
Public Works Administration Is going
to do with the request, which was
forwarded by the District Of Columbia
officials. The Guard officials have not
had any inkling Of Just how the Of
ficials Of the Works Administration are
inclined toward granting the request Of
the local Guardsnen, which calls for
the expenditure of 50 500 900 eventually
for the construction of the project.
OF course, no plans for the structure
have been drawn and nothing definite
can be shown at this time as to just
what kind of a building is to be erected.
Plans for building were drawn many
years ago, when Congress appropriated
funds for this purpose, but these are
not believed to be satisfactory now and
they probably would not be suitable for
the site tentatively selected for such
a building. The tentative site is on
the Eastern Branch at the eastern
terminus Of East Capitol street. There
has been no objection to this site on
the part of Guard officials; what they
are most interested in is the provision
Of building wherein troops can be
adequately trained for the service which
might be expected Of them in a ma
nonal emergency.
While they get two weeks of training
IN the field during the Summer, never
theless, 1t was pointed out, their train
ing Is somewhat restricted under the
