POLICE SGT. WESTMAN'S SNEAK ATTACK

Club.
II was following this period the
invitation was extended to police
officials that any police officer
would be permitted to enter the
Elks Club, with the exception of
Police Sgt. Westman and Patrol
man Hull because of their threats
and demands.
1t will be recalled here that I'M
der Gov. Arthur b. Langlie's adj
ministration not one Negro club in
the state of Washington was
granted liquor license, thus cata-
putting hundreds of Negroes into
gangs Of lawbreakers and bootleg
gers, creating prolific farms for
graft.
Only two beer licenses were is
sued and these on probation. Glass
legislation? With a vengeance,
That act brought upon that admin
lstratlon the reproach or 70 per
cent of all the Negroes in the
state.
The case of the sneak raid will
be heard in the police court. From
tits decision the Elks may appeal
The case of the people vs.. Po-
lice Sgt. Fl. A. Westman will be
tried in the court of public opin-
ion. From its decision there is NO
appeal.
Pearl Harbor's sneak raid de-
veloped the atomic bomb.
Public opinion may develop a
new kind of atomic, bomb, which
may not be easily controlled.
Public opinion will, in the end,
decide whether Police Sgt West
mans nuisance raids are for the
protection of its peace and safety
or actuated b va desire to safe
an itching palm.

They screamed as it exploded in

Into the fire dashed a young

Police Sgt. H. A. Westman's
nuisance raid on Elks Club was 4
snea kattack. The writer of these
articles told Police Sgt. HI. A.
Westmans superior officers, you
or any police officer will be adj
mitted to the Elks Club at any
time without warrant with the ex-
ception of Police Sgt. H. A. West
man ana PatroIman Hull. Admit
lance is denied to each of them,
because Of their threats and de-
mands.
If the Elks Club would have ac-
coded TO their demands, II would

Elks Correct Evils
One year ago this August, this
writer, acting as Exalted Ruler of
the Elks during the absence of the
regularly elected Exalted Ruler, at
tending the National Convention in
Pittsburh, Pa, Of his own volition
removed the beer license from the
wall and mailed it back to the
Washiaton State Liquor Board.
The reason therefor was an ap-
parent infraction of the law for
which no satisfactory explanation
was made. Exalted Ruler e. r.
Chainey confirmed the act upon
his return.
Orders were issued to imme-
diately discontinue all forms of
dice or crap games, all games of
poker, bar all peace disturbers.
These rules have been and are
now religiously enforced.
From that day to this. no club
in the city of Seattle has been
more decorous and more free from

"There is another story of a
Nisei who by himself, stopped a
German counter attack. There is
no comparison of what individual
heroes may do in a battle. In Eu-
rope individual heroes have accom-
plished many terrific feats. This
Japanese American, for example,
had exhausted all his BAR ammu-
milton, but spied a German rifle
and emptied that. He ended up
using a German Luger pistol he
had taken from a NaZi prisoner.
That day he was worth the lives
of many Germans he had killed
and many. many Americans whom
he had kept alive.
81 know one American officer
with the Nisei troops who would
not trade one of his men for any
number of white American soldiers
you might give him. Wounded in
battle, his officer lay on the
ground unprotected as the Nazis
began an artillery barrage. With
needles unable to reach him, he
seemed destined for death when
one of his Nisei men flung himself
over the officers body to protect
him from shell fragments. In do
ing so. he himself received the
fragments in his back. The officer
lives today; the Nisei died that
day.

same that flows in the veins OF
our enemy. Let us hate the enemy
Let us fight ruthlessly and bitter
ly agaisst him. But let us not
think for one moment that because

Catholic Information Let's Go Mercy"
 Killing

How about all those poor incur ables, who do nothing but suffer and cost tidy sum for their up- keep. Let's get out our lethal gas and put some of them "mercifully" away.
 Here's a case in Washington, D.. Ca lady permanently injured when a school girl, lying on her back for more than 50 years - positively incurable. But hold off that chloroform! Let's scan the record. Fifty years before, this helpless girl had time to think and plan and pray and so founded the Christ Child society, which from her bed she directed from then on. Branches grew up in more than 30 cities. If 50 years before someone had "mercifully" gassed her, what about those thousands of needy and handicapped children whom her so- ciety cares for yearly? Let's let this incurable live on, for surely hers is an exceptional case. Well, here's another one-not IlCdlly SO LII place, in fact. In home for in- curables he lies, fiat on his back, unable to move aught but his head. So he has been for ten years. So he may be for forty years more. But hold off that poison just min- ute. I have intimate knowledge of this case. Let me tell you.
 Jimmy smiles when you visit him and my, how he enjoys nonsense He's loath to talk about his illness, but should you gain his confidence, he would tell you how gladly he &C., cepts the cramps in his immovable legs when he looks at other im- movable legs over there on a cruci- fix on the wal-how readily he &C., cepts the tortures of a fly walking down his face, when he thinks of blood-drops trickling down the face of the Redeemer, who also was powerless to move. His hands Jimmy is an outstanding exempli- | fer of the Catholic teaching of the acceptance of the suffering which God permits-of the offering up of our own agonieS with Christ's agonies in reparation for our sins and those of all men.
 No, I'll not mercy" kill Jimmy His example and his prayers means | too much to me. No, I'll not take from any man the right to live ano fulfill his destiny as God has | planned it. I'll not take from the world one who suffers for the world. And besides, mercy" kill ing is out-and-out killing-murder You can't get around it. It's there in the Bible, your Bible and my Bible-in Gods own words. Look it up-EXodus 23:7-"The innocent and the just person thou shalt not put to death."
 Plain enough, isn't it?
 If it's anything Catholic ask a Catholic or write to Catholic In- formation, 625 Baldwin street, Wa terbury.

 Birds that twitter birds that cackle. Robin, wren, swallow and blue jay,
 Sparrow, catbird, orole and grackle. We wouldn't know them al
 Couldn't call them by name, Very friendly about it all
 They're really very tame Red-winged blackbirdS,
 Black-winged red birds too, Brown birds singing and
 A bright scarlet one flew Right square into the cherry tree
 And you should hear the commotlon All over meal of fruit,
 Now what foolish notion I think I shall never see
 Or write a single word, That can half describe
 swift-flying bird Such as those that come,
 So many can hardly see, To steal all the cherries
 From my cherry tree. EM EM.
