CHAPTER II

1t was easy enough for young John
Belknap to come to decision as to
what to do; easy enough to decide
that the MIDI West headquarters. up in
the wilderness. was as good place as
any for young man going out on his
own to present himself and ask for q
chance. Easy, simple!
But not so easy to summon that
rage which would wipe out the hurt.
He had had his fondest hopes be-
trayed by the one human being he had
trusted above all others. It cut and
scourged.
He had boarded a late train, pack
sack over his shoulder, obliviOus to
the stares of people in the station,
telling himself that he had been double
crossed, abused to point which was
intOlerable
Snow fell. Now and again some of
it sifted down from the ventilators to
the greasy rattan seats of the smoker.
The brakeman came in and lighted oil
lamps as waning afternoon brought
wintry darkness. One more change
now, and he would be on the Kampfest
line. But he was not going to
stop at Kampfest!
He moved with a start, then, and
his jaw muscles bulged This was the
route he had planned so long to take,
but the destination was no longer what
it had been in those years of plan
ming. On through Kampfest, rather,
on for the better part of another hum
dred miles TO Midwest headquarters.
You're out of luck" the conductor
said; getting into Kampfest tonight.
They got three cars off on a culvert
and it may take 'em until noon to get
their line open. Tell you what; the
Junction boarding houses a fright.
You could go on to Shoestring where
there's a good place to stay and come
back In the morning in time to get the
east-bound."
Soon the brakeman rose and sung
out: "Shoestringp
Buttoning his Mackinaw singing his
packsack to one shoulder, John stood
in the end of the car as they joited to
a stop. He was the only passenger
disembarking, and when he pulled the
door open snow swirled about him.
Moving figures showed against the
glow of depot lights.
A voice sung out sharply:
THAT'S himi"
He dropped to shin-deep snow on the
platform, and bulking figure moved
to confront him.
you'd better git back on the train"
the man said. "You amt welcome
here"
"Check him through" someone
called hoarsely.

The big man grasped his arm de-
terminedly, and as John twisted to
free himself he slipped. he flung ont
hand to catch his balance and. on
the gesture. singing blow caught
him full in the mouth.
An instant before, and despite his
black mood, he would have argued .
but that fist on his lips dropped a red
curtain before his eyes. coagulated an

A new party has risen in the West
and at first glance at its program, one
would think it ought to become the saviour
of mankind in America. But, like many
other promising ventures, it doesn't seem to
ring true to ones sense of proportion
Under the name of the National
Party" its leader, hotel man at Ocean
side. Calf, promises practically everything
to everybody except the buttons off his
own shirts. He would do away with de-
pressions; he would abolish capitalism and
taxes; he would aisbar debts and bills and
lawsuits, the rich and the poor.
In short, all would share alike and
would have most of the time for leisure.

THE INDEPENDENT PANTS

1t has been said, and truly, that one
can justify his questionable actions by
snatching paragraph in the Bible, though
the remainder of the chapter may condemn
the very thing the chance paragraph APP
parently condones.
Proceeding along similar lines, The st.
Petersburg Independent gobbled four para
graphs from an editorial in The Citizen on
lynching, and then took us to task as an
apologist for that crime.
Evidently, it must be habit of The
Independent to reason from a part of a
statement instead of from the whole, be-
cause, in the same editorial, it quoted Presi-
dent Roosevelt's denunciation of lynching
but said nothing about his further reason
ing in seeking cure for lynching
After the president said, 'We do not
excuse those in high places or in low who
condone lynch law he continued:
"But thinking America goes
further. 1t seeks government of it's
own that will be sufficiently strong
to protect the prisoner and at the
same time to crystalline a public
opinion so clear that governments of
all kinds will be compelled to prac-
tice a more certain justice. The jul
dicial function of government is the
protection of the individual and of
the community through quick and
certain justice. That function in many
places has fallen into sad state of
disrepair. 1t must be part of our
program to re-estab1ish it."
While President Roosevelt does not
pointedly say that lynching or other dis
respect for law is due in large measure
to the inaptitude of our courts, yet that
was the inference, else why his plea ito
practice more certain justice" 'quick
and certain justice. mThat function in
many places has fallen into sad state of
disrepair". ~?
The central point of The Citizens
editorial was that the chief cause for
lynching and other disrespect for law was,
to use the Presidents words, "the sad
state of disrepair'' of our courts.
Truly, as the President said, think
ing America goes further than the act of
lynching alone; thinking America" tries
to determine the cause of lynching, the
cause of the widespread disrespect of all
law, and that was the object of The Citi-
zen's editorial on lynching. .se
The Citizen thinks now, as it thought
when the editorial was written, that the
delay IN administering justice by the
courts and their frequent Illustration of it
by hairsplitting technicalities are the ma
jor causes Of many a lynching and vir-
tually all disrespect for law. And The
Citizen feels it proved its point in the seven
paragraphs of the editorial which the In
dependent did not quote.
The Citizens stand on lynching was
stated in the first eight words of the edi-
torial, Nobody should condone, much
less applaud, lynching."
1t is not The Citizens fault if The In
dependents editor did not understand
that explicit, statement neither is it The
Citizens concern If The independents edi-
tor is not a part of thinking America"
which strives to find the cause of an evil
and, having found 1t, qabors to end that
evil

KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY


Seven of the "snow birds" that
came to Key West in the hope of
finding coy nests have sought
shelters from the chilly wintry
blasts and are now on their way
ito Miami or further. Five of them
were questioned by the police. and
went out at once without even
pausing to say farewell. Two
others, who were quizzed at the
Red Cross, must have reasoned
that the data they gave concern
ing themselves was not of the
kind that would assist them to re-
ceive food and shelter and they
also silently stole away.
