The recent refusal of the United
States Supreme Court to review the
case of Haywood Patterson who has
received Is years, virtually life sem
tence, is the latest development in sew
en- years of legal controversy during
which the case became world famous as
it was fought back and forth between
the State of Alabama and the Supreme
Court Names of prominent liberals,
both Negro and White, have been as
sociated with the defense, among them
James Weldon Johnson, Negro poet
and anthologist, Prof W. E. B. Du

of Sleeping Car Porters, Harry Emer-
son Fosdick, Rev. John H. Holmes,
Bishop Francis ]. Mcconnell, Oswald
Garrison Willard, and Dorothy Deter
of the Wcman's International League
for Fl2Ce ant Freedom. The defense
has been represented by the noted cri-
minal lawyer, Samuel Leipowtz.
1t was in October, 1881, that the nine
Negro boys were taken from train
in Scottsboro, Alabama, accused of a
criminal assault by Ruby Bates and
Virginia Price, two white girls who
were riding the same freight Alabama
has demanded the death penalty, al
though Ruby Bates repudiated her tes-
timony and repeatedly testified for the
accused and the testimony of medical
experts weighed in their favor. On
July "a, 1887, four of the boys were
freed. One of the boys, Ozzie Powell
though exonerated by the court from
the charge of assault, was given twenty
years for allegedly resisting an officer
the court room to the jail. Powell is
still partially paralyzed from the effect
of a shot from the sheriff's pistol which
was almost fatal.

College RGdicaIsna

The average small community
never worries about radicalism to
any great extent. There may be a
few present among the population
but they are very small minority
and perhaps rather meek in COM
parison, In their activity. The
Reds are regarded as a foreign
substance.
But the average small commun-
ity does not take into considera-
ton that the young people whom
it is sending out into the world to
the colleges through the country
may be confronted with radical
ism in it's worst form.
1t has been proved that the
Reds of America, are seeking in
many ways to develop socialism
and communism in this country.
They realize that If they can
implant their teachings In the
minds Of immature young people,
they will be enabled to obtain re-
suits that it would take many
years longer to accomplish in
other ways.
When parents get ready to &C.
lect higher educational institu.
ton for their children, they would
do well to make sure that the
agents Of radicalism have not
worked their way into the college
or university of their selection
with the intention of boring from
the inside.

Ooercrotcded Bodies

Don't pity the poor; rather,
have pity on the rich" a doctor
has said. Name one person who
starved to death, and will name
a hundred who ate themselves to
death"
In the days of our forefathers,
men were keen of mind, active of
body and rugged of honesty.
They ate simple food and not
too much Of it.
The generation Of today is not
to be compared with that of one
hundred years ago, even though
the average length Of life Is long
er. This is attributed to better
care OF the young and increased
knowledge regarding disease pre-
vention, control and cure.
ANY physician win give the
same testimony as the one refer
red to above. We do not measure
up physically to those Of a gener.
alton ago, because there is too
much to eat and too much of it
is eaten.
1t is true we have made wonder
full forward strides in the past
century. But they are no greater
than the opportunities warranted.
And they never originated in the
brains of gourmands.

Labor Question:

The labor situation has reached
a point where it affects every citi-
zen.
The unlawful occupation OF
property by workers to enforce
their demands, and the breakdown
OF our law enforcement agencies
in protecting the property owner,
is a new experience in the United
States. It is but one step remov-
ed from revolution.
If one class OF citizens can dis
possess another class of the use
OF their property, It is only a step
further TO take over such proper
ty permanently. We have wit
messed that in Russia and Spain.
II workmen stop and think, they
will see that they are destroying
their own safety and liberty when
they foment revolutionary prac-
tees.
Thoughtful persons who have
the best interests OF workers at
heart, can only warn them against
such tactics which in the long run

most of them are the result Of

Falling out of the cherry tree

prerogative of every healthful boy.
None of US ever looked upon a

causes Is due to falls.
OF course, that refers to falls
in which gravity figures.
There are all sorts OF falls. Men
fall from their high estates some
times: It is not necessarily fatal,
but frequently is.
Many fall in their own estima-
ton and often try self-destruction.
Men fall in the estimation OF
others and it is not always due
to an accident.
Viewed from every angle, the
fall is a much more dangerous
element in society than most OF
US ever imagined.

Falls Are Serious

Although the death rate from
automobile accidents shows an In
crease each year, yet there is an
other form of accident that takes
an even heavier toll, due largely
to carelessness.
This form of accident has been

is just the ordinary. everyday tum-

the commonplace fall kills more
people every year than does the

The fact can't be denied that we
are literally eating ourselves to

as our fancy dictates and we eat
the wrong food to excess.
If we really knew the proper

Suburbanites are planting their

Winter is apt to be a time of

Above all things refrain from
dumping your trash on the back
OF the premises, or throwing it
over the fence on a neighbours

ness conveying 1t to a subdivision
Of town lots. thus violating the
laws against trespass. You can
go into almost any suburban com.

of disposal is practiced TO some
extent.
Such a cleanup campaign is
splendid activity for civic clubs,
chambers of commerce, Boy
Scouts and similar groups to spon.

manifest a spirit OF cooperation.
When a movement to paint up
clean up and beauty sweeps a
community, it leaves in its wake
a happier, healthier town. From
the standpoint of fire safety alone
the movement pays big dividends
