fight to maintain their independent
union and to smash the attempts
of the Socialist leaders and pro-
fessional gangsters and thieves to

N.A.A.C.P. Leaders
Ordered Torture of
SCOttSbOrO Boys
Continued from Page y


bama authorities who for three
wears have been attempting to burn
the nine innocent Negro boys in the
electric chair, is further revealed in
agitation in the lynch press for
Negro support of the N.A.ACP.
leadership and its traitorouS poll
cies. The press campaign is led by
John Temple Graves, leading ide-
ologis5 of the Southern lynchers
and columnist on the Negotiating
Birmingham Age-Herald.
Deputy Warden Dan Rogers of
jefferson County Jail, it is revealed,
has been made the direct N.A.A.CP.
agent within the prison.
1t was on his recommendation
that the boys have been put into
solitary confinement, following
fights started with them by stool
pigeons planted in their cells by
Rogers.
eff any of you niggers want to
change to the N.A.A.C,P.. let me
know and I'll call them" Rogers
told the boys,
'If You were dying I'd never
tell the LID" he said at an
other time, 'but If you had the
N.A.A.C.P. and just got sick I'd
call them on the phone right
away. You keep the LID. and
you're going to catch hell"
On another occasion he told them
that the Rev. Taggart frequently
came to the Jail and had told him
that '1f the boys ever want to
change to the N.A.ACP, just give
me ring"
Boys Retain Fighting Unity
To all these tortures, it is re-
ported by their visitor, the Scots
boro boys have answered by an
even firrner expression of their
faith in the International Labor
Defense and the millions of white
and Negro toilers throughout the
world who have rallied to their
defense.
Against this savage torture of the
boys, aimed to break their militant
spirit and deliver them bound into
the hands of the lynchers and their
N.A.ACP. agents, the workers and
intellectuals Of the whole country
must thunder their immediate pro-
tests. Demand a halt to the torture
of the Scottsboro boys! Wire pro-
tests at once to Gov. B. M. Miller
Montgomery, Ala, Warden F. L
Erwin, Jefferson County Jail, Bir-
mingham, Ala, and to President
Roosevelt. The tortured Scottsborc
boys are innocent Demand then
immediate, unconditional and safe
release! Support the plans of the
International Labor Defense fol
the intensification Of the Scottsborc
campaign this month, and fol-
gigantic protest demonstrations
throughout the whole world or

When The President Speaks

The speech of President Roose-
veIt is an example of the best
American English" spoken in this
country, in the opinion of educa-
tors attending the convention of the
National Association of Teachers OF
Speech in New York, recently.
Lee Emerson Bassett, president
of the ASSOCIATION and professor OF
public speaking at Stanford uni
versity, described the presidents
speech as a standard form of Eng
Iish. yet lively and varied and with
excellent pronunciation.
"No one could say he comes
from the south, the east or the
west" Professor Bassett said. HE
is just an American citizen who
uses English well. His is an ex-
ample of what our speech can and
should be-the speech of an edu-
Gated and cultured man."
president Roosevelt uses SIM
pie language and the quality of his
voice is persuasive and friendly
said another of the group. Il
would put him second to no one on
the radio for these qualities.

General Assembly To Tackle
Many Important Tasks

Beginning the final year of his
White will tackle new problems
which, combined with those he met
in 1888, will mark his administra-
ton as the most strenuous ever ex-
perienced by an Ohio executive, in
the opinion of capital observers.
Immediately before him and the
general assembly, which will re-
convene at the end Of January, are
these important tasks:
Finding replacement taxes to
make up the loss of $45,000,000 in
annual revenues from real estate
affected through adoption of the
amendment submitted to the voters
in response to the governors ap-
peal to tighten the burden Of home
owners.
Devising means of financing old
age pensions, also approved by the
voters as part of Governor Whites
social service program 1t is esti-
mated these will require s8,000,-
pension plans operation.
Providing some $6.700,e00 for
state aid to weak school districts in
accordance with the chief executive
demand that all children be afford
ed adequate educational opportun-
tiles.
Enacting into law additional
safeguards to protect depositors in
banks and building associations as
recommended by the governor after
studies by his state commerce de-
partment based upon experience of
the past year.
Assuring funds for the care of
citizens dependent upon the state
for food and shelter, in place of
those which will be lost through
the expiration of temporary tax
measures.
'T am sure that with the help
of the legislature and the people we
will solve these problems as we
have solved the difficult ones that
are behind u.s." Governor White
commented in outlining plans for
1894. II am grateful for the spirit
of cooperation that has been shown
by citizens and legislators in the
trying year from which we have
Just emerged. These burdens
multiplied by extraordinary eco
nomic conditions and by new con-
cepts OF social justice must be met.
The problem is to distribute the
load as equitably as possible and to
deal fairly with the state as
whole in order that benefits may be
extended to those Of our citizens
who have so cheerfully carried on
in the face of misfortune. ,"
"I have been heartened by the
suggestions that have come to me
from citizens in all walks of life
displaying keen desire to contrib
ute what help they can to those
in adm inistrative positions. Sug-
gestions are welcome at all times
and the constantly increasing num-
ber we receive reflects a growing
interest of the people in their gov
ernment. There is manifest very
helpful tendency to submerge
partisanship and put public service
above petty POLITICAL consider
atoms"
