their alleged rape Of two white

early trial in Morgan county I'M
der a change Of venue to be

Action in the case has been de-

court in April set aside death
sentences imposed on Haywood
Patterson and Clarence Norris,
two of the nine defendants, be-
cause their constitutional rights
had been violated due to the sys-
tematic exclusion OF Negroes
from Alabama juries. Since then
the state legislature has enacted
a statute permitting the dumping
and refilling Of jury boxes osten-
sibly to remedy this condition.

anxiety to cash aces and kings often

To defeat today's contract, Mr.

some Is years. Within the memory
of most of us, a prison warden who
had never suffered the temptation
to seek retaliation for an injustice,
preached forgiveness for not only
the fallen and the weak, but the
hardened and unregenerate crinli-
nal as well. When, on one Christ
mas day, one of his trusted and
over pampered criminals killed his
wife, he raved and swore that he
would never rest until that man was
hanged, and that man was hanged.
A lot of old devils who have,
by youthful dissipation, burned
out the fires of their younger
years, become awfully virtuous in
their old age. They forget
that at the time of their Adde'S
cence they seriously questioned
whether foregoing the forbidden
pleasure of life was too much to
pay for even heaven itself. 1t is
good and proper to punish, and even
absolutely necessary, but to punish
human weakness in the spirit of
self righteousness is downright per-
versity of mind. 1t is sinking below
the level of the beast. Who is so
damnably unjust as to punish an
innocent child for 7 misfortune
which it can not help, or to even
stigmatize it, shows a degeneracy
that is pitiable. Many boy or
girl is all the better in after-life for
having a sad fall to remember, if
they can but get halfway break
free from those inhuman monsters
who are ever ready to grind them
under the heel of their Unsuitable in
tolerance. A READER.
Answer had intended to close
the discussion on illegitimacy but
so many more letters of protest
have arrived that have decided
to give the readers one more OPP
portunity to see their opinions in
print. Besides the point made by
the above letter is excellent and
worthy Of further explanation.
AS the writer points out, citing
two examples to prove the point,
people are often the opposite Of
what they pretend to be. The
contrast between the inner man
and his outward manners is ex-
tremely puzzling until we learn
that he who gets into fever
over evil does so to hide his own
prediction for that which he
condemns. 1t takes strong meas
ureS to convince himself that his
qualms about submerged tenden-
cieS are unjustif1ed.
He who is quick to blame others
has not ceased to blame himself.
The sternest moral censors have
learned that they must be stern
in order to keep their own lower
nature from overriding their civ
ilized ideas. Thus human behavior
is the great snasquerader. The

Manners and Morals
by JANE JORDAN

Tell your troubles to Jane Jordan who
will study your problems and answer
your questions in this column.
Dear Jane Jordan-This writer
who advocates the whipping post
for fallen mothers and their chill
dren is a disgrace to the human
family. No one who has not passed
through the agonizing fires of temp
tation can say that he is virtuous.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-07-17

punishment for the fallen tried to
scare himself into virtue by pub
licly denouncing the sinner, only
to have his true nature assert
itself in the end. The prison
warden with unconscious cruel
tendencies spent a lifetime in
propaganda for mercy only to
break down under personal strain.
Likewise, people cover up good
ness with odd pretenses of the
opposite. Who has not found a
blusterer hiding a too-soft heart
beneath a gruff manner, or a
sentimentalist posing as a cynic?
EmerSon's question, why so hot,
my little MANI" leads us to search
for the opposite under every fer
vent poSe.'
The superior personality il
never a harsh critic of others. He
has found his own nature tinged
with lust and learned to forgive
himself before he forgave others.
Tolerance is the possession of
those who are convinced of their
own superiority; who feel no urge
to fagellate themselves over an
others shoulder.
Note: The 24-year-old boy whose
case has caused all this discussion
has written for the letters which
have been written about him. He
will have to wait until next week
for I am out of the city and the
letters are in Indianapolis.

Likes Baseball
Miss Wethered probably will re-
member her indianapolis visit after
she has forgotten some of her other
stops. She is an enthusiastic base
ball fan, and when she attended
the Indians game Monday night in
a box party given by Russell White,
she watched so intently that she
often failed to hear the remarks Of
guests in the box. She has attend
ed one other game while on her
tour-during her stay in Cleveland.
Mrs. LANCE was responsible for
entertainment for the visitor while
here. She was on hand for the
match in a rough white linen dress,
buttoned up the front by bright
blue buttons and tied at the neck
line with a matching blue kerchief.
Mrs. E. A. Crane followed the gal
lery in a turquoise blue silk shan
tucg frock, belted IL wine and tied
et the neckline by a wine grosgrain
ribbon. Her felt hat which dipped
over one eye also was wine.
Witnesses Play
Mrs. Ben T. Parks, who was run
ner-up in the city championship
tournament, looked on in dull
yellow shantung frock. buttoned on
one shoulder by a large wooden
disc: its belt was buckled in match
ing wood.
Mrs. Richard SIM sold tickets in
a blue knit suit, its sleeves and
Jacket striped in bands Of rose, pink
and white. Flowers in Dresden
coIors were knitted into the jacket
on one shoulder, and her matching
hat had a similar spray of flowers
bedecking it.
Miss Helen Benbridge and Mrs.
Paul Daugherty we're visitors who
came from Terre Haute to see the
match. Ruth Ray. South Bend,
who will play in the state tourna-
ment, walked around the course to
view the exhibition.
Mrs. Wallace Jim Roberts whose
home is near the club walked over
for the game. The yellow buttons
fastening her blue linen dress up
the front were grouped in three
somes, and a yellow scarf fitted
snugly around the neckline.

A Woman S
Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

"THIS Years Graduate" writes
Il that he is confused by the
many different kinds of advice he
has recently been given. The for
tunate men and women of his ac-
quaintance can not agree about
methods of attaining success.
He probably doesn't realize that
most of our eminent men believe
they are self-made. Each imagines
he is master of his fate and cap
tain of his soul" Sometimes all of
them appear to forget they were
born in an era of great material de-
velopment, or had fine educational
advantages, or an upward push at
the right moment.
Women, who generally find sue
cess a little harder to get, are less
cocksure. They sometimes give part
of the credit to Lady Luck.
I believe in Lady Luck a little
myself. The world is full of I'M
noticed talent. Genius, as well as
incompetence, can be crushed and
destroyed by social injustice and the
hard competition of modern Sociey
1t has never actually been proved
that the fit and self-reliant always
survive. Right now the earth is
running over with weaklingS and
misfits because too many of the self
reliant thought it courageous to
volunteer for the front-line trenches
a score of years ago.
1t seems sensible for the young
person to look first at the condi-
ton of his world, and next to de-
eide what he wishes to do in it. The
boy who knows what he wants to be
may not always succeed, but he will
have a better chance than if he left
the decision entirely to Lady Luck.
Court her, but do not depend upon
her.
