No more will the kindly figure
of Mr.. Baker, our late chief Of
police. be seen in the downtown
section, nor will school children
have his guiding hand out on
Lake Avenue. for on Monday he
left us, for a place where law
and order is not necessary. For
many years Mr.. Baker has been
almost the first person to greet
those returning from a short or
a long trip. so prone was he to
be on duty. His courteousness
will be a quality that will the
longest be remembered. A
friendship through many years
made him very near to all, so
his familiar personality will be
missed in the accustomed places.
We hope for his successor an in
heritance of the. same fine charac-
teristics.

azine writer and editor, on a trip
through the midwest to get his
faith in America reaffirmed,
talked here about Hugo L. Black
and his appointment to the Su-

arouse Mencken's ire the way the
President does for having ap-
pointed him.
IF Roosevelt appointed an
idiot boy to the Supreme
Court" he said, you wouldn't
blame the idiot, would you?"
BLACK is just a low-down
Cracker politician from the
forks of the creek. For the type,
he is a good enough specimen.
"For the President of the
United States deliberately to ap-
point a Klansman is an out
rage against decent government.
Roosevelt said he didn't know
Black was a Klansman. I say
he did. Black has never denied
1t and he never will. He may
say the documents proving it
were forged but everybody in
Alabama knows he was a mem
ber."
Nevertheless, Mencken is opti
mistic about the future of the
country. Pessimistic about politics

1t was written in the case OF
Bryant VS.. Zimmerman, back in
1928.
One, Bryant joined the Buffalo,
N. Y, provisional unit of the
Khan - and one, Zimmerman
promptly took out after him.
New York then had on it's
statute books a law requiring that
persons joining a secret organiza-
ton with a membership of more
than 20 and having as a requisite
of membership the taking of a
secret oath, should file with the
Secretary of State the oath, the
roster of members and a list of
officers.
Bryant was accused of belong
ing to the Buffalo Khan unit while
having knowledge the law was not
being obeyed. Legal proceedings
were undertaken which ran the
gamut of the New York courts to
the high bench of the United
States.
New York's law was obviously
directed at the Khan. 1t exempted
labor unions, Masons, the Knights
of Columbus, Odd Fellows and
