WITHOUT "DUE PROCESS"
(The st. Paul Daily NewS)

The trials of the two Scottsboro
Negroes that resulted in the convic-
tiOns which were upheld last week by
the Alabama supreme court were, if
possible, even more cruel and farcial
than the first trial. There was the
same tense mob hostility. There was
the same exclusion of Negroes from
the jury panel. There was the same
appeal to passion on the part of the
prosecutor. The presiding judge all
but ordered the two juries to bring
in a verdict of guilty.
In the first trial the two white girls.
alleged victims of the nine hapless
Scottsboro boys, gave corroborating
testimony. But in the last two trials
one of the girls confessed that the
charge was a frame-up.
Upon the discredited and contra
dicted testimony of the one girl hobo
who stuck to her story, Alabama's
courts again have sentenced these
two Negro youths to the electric chair.
The other seven boys await in Jail
for the day when they too will be
called.
These two cases, of course, will be
to the United States supreme
court. There can be little doubt that
this highest tribunal will say again,
as it said when it reversed the first
that "due process" was de-
MED the defendants and ito hold 9TH
erwise would be to ignore the funda-
mental postulate. That there
are certain immutable principles of
justice which inhere in the very idea
of free government which no member
of the Union may disregard"

planning the civilization of a country
where thousands are starving in a
land where the farmers produce too
much food? Or where millions are
going poorly clad because our mills
have produced too much clothing?
Or a country where thousands are
homeless because we are Overbuilt?
Or nation where one Millionaire

Of the state had endeavored to keep

Farmer-Labor forces were more

The Minnesota mortgage moratorium

Speaking of the governors five mil

favcrite Bible Passages
Harvey Parnell
Governor Of Arkansas.

Therefore all things whatsoever
We would that men should do to
you, do We even so to them: for
this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 7:12.
Comment: The Golden Rule fits
admirably into the life of every
one almost every moment of every
day. The very fundamentals Of
our social and business standards
are based with a psychological
effect upon the true meaning and
intent Of this wonderful passage.
After this manner therefore
pray We: Our Father which art
in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors. And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil: For Thine Is the king
dom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.-Matthew 6:9-13.
Comment: The Lords Prayer
has been indelibly imprinted on
my mind and it affords quiet,
peace and consolation at all times.
