The Judd Woman
And The Patterson
Boy
BY WILLIAM PICKENS CAMP

OF course, Ruth Judd has the good
luck to be in Arizona, the wild and
woolly and "half-caste west; while
Haywood Patterson has the bad luck
to be in Alabama, the religious, aristoc-
ratio, zone hundred percent" south.
There is no doubt anywhere about
Ruth Judd's guilt: she killed two wo-
men, cut them up packed them into a
trunk and tried to get away with the
whole savage job. There is plenty Of
doubt everywhere about Patterson's
guilt; he is accused of being one of
nine youngsters to assault two pro-
stitutes, and at least one of these girls
has proven herself to be liar beyond
any shadow of doubt, by telling two
directly contradictory stories about
the affair.
And yet there is plenty of American
sentiment" to rescue Ruth Judd from
the electric chair. Even William Rand
olph Hearst is writing front page ed
itorials on the injustice or uselessness
of putting poor Ruth to death. We ar
que with Hearst; only we are more
consistent than Hearst, for we also see
the injustice and the worse than use
lessness of putting to death colored
lad on the contradictory testimony of
two prostitutes, neithe- of whom was
really harmed by anybody anyway,
and about whose truthfulness there is
abundant evidence for doubt, and who
are actually discredited by the unbe-
lief of millions of honest humans.
So far as we have observed, Hearst
has never said one word in behalf of
these young Negroes. Like most new
paper ballyhoo artists he knows that
it is less unpopular to plead for the
guilty white woman.
They are going to test Ruths SANITY"
again. Well, take a look at Victoria
Price and Ruby Bates, not dressed as
Rev. DIR. Fosdick and other finally
overalls as hoboes on that thrain; and
you will agree that if any healthy
young boys even tried to assault"
them these boys should have their
sanity tested

The Interdenomina-
tional Ministerial
Alliance
(By Rev w. G. Wilson, President)

There is psychecieal phrase term
known as, "The Relatedness OF All
This term implies, that the degree N
which any interest exists for the IN
dividual, depends upon the degree in
which it we have brought it into con-
nection with the rest of life. In other
words; man can know himself only in
the proportion that he gives his at
tention to other worthy interests.
Many ministers seem to feel that they
are full enough, and that there in no
need of an organized relationship of
ministries: but this is not only a gross
misrepresentation " truth, but ap-
surd. For human nature everywhere
avenges itself for any lack of interests
in many things.
The Alliance stands for the "Rela-
tedness Of ALL" No minister who has
a reasonable conception of the truth of
his ministry could not have remained
unmoved by the great unitary inter-
est which was manifested in our last
meeting. The life of the AllianEe is
not on the surface, but down to the
bottom of things, where the funda-
mental relations of all men remain
unbroken. The Alliance feels the birth
Of the living truth within, and not
dead truth which may be picked up
can mean nothing less than separate
ness and exclusiveness. The exclusive
from the narrow surface of life, which
attitude is nowhere justified. The glory
of religion and many other permanent
interests, are not to be set apart from
life, but to permeate all life dynami-
cally. Religions most dangerous en-
emies have been nourished in its own
fold in the spirit of exclusiveness. 1t
is the supreme desire of the Alliance
to have all of the ministers of the
city to break away from this exclu-
siveness, and become a part of the
common whole of our racial welfare. A
minister's life can be no larger than
the number of objects to which it is
given. Mans life is poor indeed which
is one-sided and narrow.

ASSASSINATION

We have called the public's attention
several times, to the fact, that Negroes
in our country have hard time try
ing to register as citizens We know
Negroes whose taxes run as high as
five hundred and a thousand dollars
in our city and county, and yet, these
same poor Negroes have to pay great
er price than other people when It
comes to registering. We do not accuse
any one man for these handicaps and
great prices imposed upon the Negro,

REV. w. G. WILSON

In the Negro Civic League last Mon
day night, Rev. w. G. Wilson, pastor of
New Hope Baptist Church, read one of
tie strongest papers, with reference to
the price that the Negro must pay, that
we have ever listened to. He brought
out the fact that because of the color
of the skin, the Negro is Handicapped;
he is denied citizenship and many privi-
leges that we deserve.
What can we do about it. Nothing!
The only chance for the Negro to rise
to progress, to have his chain of slav-
cry, both in mind and body, taken off,
is through the white race. We are at
the mercy of the white race. If a white
man comes down town and orders all
Negro Barber Shops closed, it must be
done, unless some white man comes to
our rescue. If all Negro business con-
Germs are ordered closed to-day, they
must close, unless some white man
comes to our rescue. If all Negro Chur-
CHI doors are ordered close next Sun
day, they must be closed and will be
closed, unless some white man comes
to our rescue We sometime exclaim O.,
Lord what have we donel We exclaim-
Why hast Thou forsaken us! yet we
remember that, Thou art a God who art
slow to anger and quick to mercy.
The Negro race should pray one
prayer Lord, Thou hast placed us here
for some cause. Whatever our handi-
caps and great prices may be in life,
help us to endure them. And, We be-
lieve that in Your set time, Thou wilt
change conditions. Thou art searching
to-day for man who will come forth
as Moses. Lord, Thou knoweth that
we cannot do anything without Thee.
We feel friendless and helpless. We
do not raise our swords, but we raise
our prayers to Thee o Lord, remember
that we are Thine! Save us, Lord! save
us! Else we perish!

Metropolitan Was Filled Last Night With Patrons
 of the Theater

New York, Dec 27-(UP)-So- cial registerites and several thou sand persons listed only in the tele- phone directory crowded the Met ropolitan Opera House last night to witness the first opening of an American opera and to indulge in an almost-forgotten custom cocktail drinking during intermis- sions.
 There was little standing room downstairs and but few vacant seats in the glittering diamond
 horseshoe" when the conductor raised his baton for the overture of Deems Tay1or's "Peter Ibbetson." Although the storm and cold dis couraged many who usually stood in line for hours, the crush of
 patrons just before curtain time
 filled the houses $500 seats. Ladies in ermine, sables and mink arrived in limousines and taxicabs to enter the brilliantly-lighted portals of the opera house for the inaugural of the 18th subscription season. hundreds of other couples trod through the snow to the theater. A traditional first night audience vigorously applauded Lucretia Bori, Lawrence Tibbet and others in their interpretations of the mu- sical version of the Du Maurier novel, then flocked to the lobby 70
 drink champagnes, apertifs and whiskies.
 Mrs Vincent Astor, Brigadier- General and Mrs Cornelius Van derbilt, and Judge and Mrs Alfred Frankenthaler were among those who entertained guests in their
 boxes along the horseshoe" It was the first time in the Met
 ropolitan's history that the season
 had opened after Christmas.

 A spurt of more than cents a bushel in wheat and gains of frac- tions to more than points in stocks featured the days dealings in various centers. Moderate. gains were noted in cotton, silver, hides, copper, rubber, and silk. Business news was favorable.
 Outstanding.i in the latter was the weekly report of the Edison cleo tric Institute which showed cleo tricity output up 6.6 per cent for the week ended December g as compared with year ago.
 Todays steel reports also were favorable, although a let-down in operations was foreseen toward the end of the year. November railroad results now coming out showed substantial gains in gross earnings and in net operating income, while car loadings reports for the week ended December 23 continued to gain as compared with the 1882 week.
 November was the third conse- cutive month of advance in the sea- sonaIly adjusted index of export values prepared by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
 There was considerable adjust ment of accounts for income tax purposes inasmuch as this was the last day the dealings could be done in the regular way.

FREE SILVER TO BE INTRODUCED
 NEXT CONGRESS
Senator Wheeler Will Do It and Textile Senators
 May Help Him

Washington, Dec 27-(UP)-Sen- ator Wheeler. democrat. Mont. to- 6ay claimed the support of several textile representatives of textile states for his bill fo:- the unlimit- ed coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to with gold.
 Wheeler said several senatorial colleagues who formerly opposed his measure had given him assur- ances of their support. Thirty three senators voted for unlimited silver coinage last session. Since then, Wheeler said, consideration of the benefits for their textile interests has caused others to abandon their opposition. EAS
 Wheeler nointed out that action by the United States to enhance the price of silver would force textile interests in silver countries to bear higher operating costs. and thus preclude them from dumping low priced textile goods on the world markets. ss
 Wheeler declared that unless the United States remonetized silver soon. British and Japanese interests soon would dominate the world tex tile markets.
 The free silver bill will be intro- duced in the opening days of the session next week, Wheeler said He is confident of it's enactment barring a drift to a possible alter nate measure which might be pro. posed by the White House.
