Protest Resolution
By City Commission
in Jersey City Forced

JERSEY CITY, N. IA resolution
addressed to President Roosevelt, de-
manding an investigation Of the con-
duct of the retrial of Haywood Pat
terson in Decatur, and asking for a
new trial for him was passed by the
Jersey City city commission, according
to the Jersey Observer" paper of
the Hague political machine.
The Hague machine, which also
controls the city commission, is we'll
known as one Of the most violent
enemies of the workers and of the
Negro people, and only the near APP
proach of local elections and the ire
mendous protest against the Decatur
lynch verdict can be put forward as
explanation of this move.

Youth Driven TO Crime.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE De-
partment of Justics made public to-
day statistics on crime. showing that
40 per cent of all crime committed
in the United States we're by youths
under Is years Of age. Persons 19
years Of age are the largest single
group within any one years age
limit. This is due to the fact that
millions of young men have no occu-
patton, are denied any trade and are
driven to try to obtain something for
themselves by petty crimes. Prac-
tically all those in jail are there for
crimes against property"

Truth From Abroad.

In the recent Sunday Star Frank H.
Simonds paid deserved tribute to the
former correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News at Berlin, Edgar Ansel
Mowrer, who was compelled to leave
Germany because of his insistence on
writing the truth about Nazi rule. Not
only Mr.. Mowers dispatches, with
which readers of The Star were long
familiar, but his book, Germany Turns
the Clock Back" made his name anath-
ema in all true Hitlerite eyes. ! He
quit German soil the other day under
circumstances which shed fresh luster
on the whole American journalistic
profession. 1t happens that Mr.. Mowrer
had already been transferred to Japan
by his paper, but the Nazis practically
expelled him and even went the length
Of Fastening his departure by warning
him that they could not guarantee the
safety of either himself or his family
If his leave taking were unduly de-
layed. Mr.. Simonds observes: 1T is
important that the regime which has
driven Mowrer out of Germany should
have unmistakable evidence of the
consequences of such course in Amer
lea. Hitler and his associates should
above all else know that every Ameri-
can newspaper man worth his salt iden-
titles himself with the fight Mowrer
made for truth at Berlin and regards
that fight as his own also"
Speaking for the whole American
writing profession, Editor and
Publisher, in comment on the Mowrer
case, says: Some day, conceivably, an
intrepid historian will pay a deserved
tribute to the honest newspaper CORE
spondents of this age. who have not
bent the back to dictators. but have
bravely taken all of the risks incident
to their mission of factual reporting"

Ring Lardner has gone home. His
work is done, and his unavailing struggle
for health is over Only forty-eight
it might have been expected that he
could 60 on writing for at least twenty
years longer. But he had so con-
sistently burned the candle at both ends
that it is not extraordinary that he
has oeen obliged to pay the price Of
overexertion.
A man of sensitive temperament, un-
pretending, shy and modest, he lived
under a tension whose effect was dis
cernible in his countsnance. 1t suited
him to play the clown in his books
and in his contributions to the maga-
zines and newspapers, but he did not
look the part. On the contrary, he
was amenable to comparison with
Abraham Lincoln in that regard. Like
the martyred President, he laughed that
he might not weep. Perhaps he chose
his subject material deliberately with
the thought in mind that humor helps
the race to survive its troubles. Ger
tainly, he did not find the world a
natural comedy. He never conceived
of mankind as the proper subject OF
a Jest. Instead, the sorrows of hu-
manity SCARED his soul. He suffered
acutely, but bravely, without complaint
without protest.
Probably it was his receptive genius
his CAPACITY to grasp impressions that
made his work so successful. He re-
discovered the authentic folk speech OF
the people; and, reproducing their style

most ambitious effort thus far. yet ex-

Americas Bad Men.

With the capture of George Kelly,
notorious as Machine Cum Kelly, one
of the most dangerous criminals
America has ever produced, headWay Is
made in the war against gangstefs.
This desperate, wanted for completely
in numerous crimes, was taken at the
point of a gun at Memphis, where ne
was located through information gwen
by a little girl who had been taken oy
the Kellys to Chicago as a blind. The
child was returned by the Kellys to her
parents, who were under observation
by the police, and told that they were
located in Memphis describing the
place sufficiently for it to be identlled,
with the result of the capture OF Kelly
and his wife.
Kelly will be tried for completely In
the Urschel kidnapping case, a Federal
offense, the penalty for which is life
Imprisonment. He will probably also
he tried on a State charge in Oklahoma
for robbery with firearms, the penalty
for which is death. in the taking OF
sum of money from a companion OF
Urschel' at the time of the KIDNAPPING.
Kelly is known to have been a member
of the gang of Harvey Bailey now on
trial at Oklahoma City for the Urschel
kidnapping, and also subject to trial for
the wholesale killing at the Union
Station in Kansas City when Frank
Nash. a captive gangster upon whom
Bailey had sworn vengeance, was slain.
With Bailey and Kelly in custody
and under charges of capital crimes OF
which they will probably be convicted,
there is a bright prospect that the
murder gangs that have lately been
terrorizing the Middle West will be
broken up and their subordinate mem
bers driven into hiding or perhaps
themselves taken for trial and punish
ment. These two partners in crime are
men of resourcefulness and daring.
Their capture has been an achievement
of great importance. 1t is highly to
the credit of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation of the Department of JUS
tice The taking of Kelly was espe-
ciaIly we'll managed It cost no lives,
though there was the gravest danger.
Kelly was taken literally with gun in
