Children In Court

BY JUDGE MALCOLM HATFIELD
Instead Of purchasing tube of
tooth paste with the money his faith
er had given him, sixteen year old
boy played slot machine that stood
IN the store.
TO his dismay, the one armed me-
chanical bandit devoured his money
and he had nothing to show his faith
er for the funds that had been in
trusted to his care. Knowing what
the consequences would be when he
returned home empty handed, he
picked up tube of tooth-paste and
hurried out OF the store.
When the merchant Indignantly
appeared in court to sign a petition
for the boys arrest, the judge said:
''You are responsible for this boys
delinquency and regret that do
not have the authority to impose a
fine on you"

MIR. Justice Black

The President put one over in the
case III Mr.. Justice Black Before
opposition could make itself really
felt, the man was confirmed. Inas-
much as Senator Black is now Mr..
Justice Black, we think colored citi--
zens should be careful how they con-
denim him. We think the fight should
have been made before confirmation.
But now that he is confirmed, fight
ing is out Of order. 1t will be only
grumbling and growing. Until Mr..
Justice Black does something of
which we do not approve, let us hold
our peace. He might do something
of which we approve.
We recall that the President stood
by young HASTE until he was con-
firmed as our first Federal Judge.
By and large, the president has play
ed fair and square with the Negro.
This Black matter is really more a
matter Of sentiment than anything
else.
We are disappointed in the Black
appointment, but after all, Mr..
Roosevelt is the President. We have
gotten more under #. D. r, than we
got under Hoover. The Supreme
Court, at it's worst, is still Sd in the
Negro's favor. I've had hoped to
make the margin wider in our favor)
Mr.. Black merely replaces another
reactionary southerner.
Business League Welcome

Atlanta last week, BY the Atlanta
Daily World. This newspaper, cele--
brating its ninth anniversary as an
institution, and in its fifth year as q
daily, was able to get several Of the
major BUSINESS institutions of the
South to make it possible to publish
a welcoming edition which was quite
befitting the occasion. From Mem
| phis, Durham, and other points, as
well as Atlanta, insurance and other
enterprises cooperated and the re-
suit was fine display of advertising
which was a credit to the institutions
and to the newspaper which carried

Our business institutions are slow

remain permanently sound without
the aid of the press. Business is a
process Of growth and that growth is
aided by the press. Some business
es have grown q certain distance

wise executives know that such a

the issue in behalf of our working
girls for better hours and higher
wages for them, it should not be
necessary for US to come out and
name those merchants who work our
girls more than eight hours.
1T has also been reported to as
that many Of these girls are paid as
low as Sc a week. Such minimum
wage and long hours Of 10 to IL
hours d day are in strict violation Of
the law. Any merchant who is guilty
of this violation with his young
women employees, is liable to be
prosecuted severely. The law should
be enforced.

proper store location implies that
the store is accessible to an adequate

assesses the possibility Of growth, and
that management is justified in feel

Operators Of neighborhood stores

In order to achieve this goal, how
ever, they must study the require
ments Of housewives located in their
community and stock their stores in

Chicago, ILL.,, May 7.-During my
travels of the past week I found that
much of the great optimism of last
December has evaporated. Labor I'M
rest. political fanfare, commodity
price declines, tagging retail sales
have given many thoughtful people
the cold shivers. That, however, is
not necessarily a bad sign, especially
when it applies to Wall Street. Wall
Street was wildly optimistic in 1929
and as gloomy in 1892 I would much
prefer to find Wall Street pessimistic
than Main Street. Main Street this
spring is not yet sharing the worry
over the summer outlook which l
found so prevalent in Eastern cities.

Prosperity on our farms is vital to
prosperity throughout the nation. The
