A TRIBUTE TO
THE EDITOR FROM
A SUBSCRIBER
BY NJ. X. MCKNIGHT


About three years ago a deter
mined little man came out from
behind his desk with a clear vision
and fixed purpose. He went out
to the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant
at New Brighton, Mimi, and helped
unlock the door Of Economic De-
mocracy, so that people could work,
live and come together on a COM
mon ground of understanding, in
way that contributed much to the
Twin Cities. Little did he know
that he was dropping an atomic
bomb that could be heard in the
nations capitol.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if he
has opened as many eyes as the
atomic bomb closed? Just think,
if the nation and the law makers
can shackle and harness the atomic
energy, why can't they shackle and
harness prejudice. At New Bright
on he had behind him one of the
finest white men in America,
Charles L. Horn.
His View On Democracy
This man, who most readers know
as Cecil Newman, editor, thinks Of
democracy in the terms Of the in
dividual. A democracy which
asks only equality Of opportunities
for individuals; which asks that no
man be stopped from fulfilling the
talents within him because of his
religion, his poverty or his race;
one which does not demand social
equality, which does not demand
social rank. A democracy which
does demand, however, that dis
tinctions not be made in mass be-
cause Of the color Of ones skin.
His view is that we must learn to
live and work together or perish.
He has paved the way, locally; the
rest is up to US. If we let the door
of Economic Democracy close in
our faces, we will live and die as
slaves and savages.
Onward and Upward
The man Of whom l speak has
the ability to express himself we'll,
in simple terms, so that all might
understand-from the man of the
streets to a university professor.
He can walk and mingle with
prominent editors and authors and
still keep in touch with the COM
mon man. He is climbing to the
mountainous of fame with his eyes
looking ever toward the heavens
but his feet firmly trodding the
ground of common sense.

Spotlight
BY Louis Lautier

President Truman is not budging
in his feud with Congress. At his
last press conference he reiterated
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-01-25

was in the Senate. AS a Senator
he voted for cloture on the anti
poll tax bill.
This being a congressional cleo
ton year-will he speak out against
Southern Democrats who flibuster
against the Fair Employment Prac-
tice bill when that measure is called
up in the Senate?
Prediction: He will.
Incidentally, about one-half Of
the chairmanships Of standing COM
mittees of the House and Senate
are held by Southerners. This stu
alton is due chiefly TO the disfran-
chisement of poor white folks and
colored people in the Bourbon South
which enable them to rise to chair
manships through seniority.
For example: Senator Theodore
G. (The MANI Bilbo, of Mississippi,
is chairman Of the Committee on
the District Of Columbia. He was
really elected in a white Democratic
primary which nominated him for
reelection over Mississippi Gov
ernOr Hugh l.. White by a vote Of
81 1874 to 62,641. In the 1914 cleo
ton, running on the Roosevelt
Truman Presidential ticket, Bilbo
received 143,431 votes.
In 1912, an off Presidential cleo
ton year, Bilbo's colleague, Sena-
tor James o. Eastland, was elected
with 1856 votes. He was unop-
posed.
Any number of congressional dis
tricts in the north cast more votes
for Representative than are cast
in Mississippi for Senator.
For instance. Bill Dawson re-
ceived 1918 votes for Congress in
1914 as against 26,204 for Bill King,
his Republican opponent. In 1912,
Dawson polled 26,2S0 votes as
against 23,537 for his Republican
opponent. This total of 1887 re-
quired to elect a Representative in
the first Illinois district is equiva-
lent to the Mississippi vote for Sem
ator in an off Presidential election
year.
But Dawson's vote Of 26,28O ex-
ceeded by 1924 the vote by which
Senator Burnet r. Maybank, Of
South Carolina, was elected in 1912
as the successor to Secretary Of
State James F. Byrnes. Maybank
is not a committee chairman but
he is a member Of such important
committees as Appropriations, I'm
migration, Military Affairs, and
Rules.
Georgia elected Senator Richard
B. Russell to the Senate in 1912
with $3.50 votes. Russell is chair
man Of the immigration Commit
tee, a member Of Appropriations
where he worked effectively to kill
FEPC, and also a member of Manu-
features, and Naval Affairs.
In Illinois, in the same year, Sen
Rtor C. Wayland Brooks, Republic
can, had to poll 1,5s2,sS7 votes to
defeat his Democratic opponent,
who polled 1,3S0,0l1.
Georgia has a population of
3,l23,723. Illinois population is
1924.
In the House, Hatton W. Sum-
ners, of Texas, is chairman of the
Judiciary Committee. Carl Vinson,
of Georgia, is chairman of Naval
Affairs, and John f. Rankin, of
Mississippi, is chairman of World
War Veterans Legislation.

Freedom for Alleged
Killer Held as Insane

The United States attorney has
asked Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut
of District Court to reconsider his
action of last Monday when he or
dered Robert E. Askins, 26, colored,
freed from st. Elizabeth's Hospital
within Is days If no further action
is taken as to ASkin's sanity.
Askins was found insane in 1899
after having been indicted on two
first degree murder counts in the
killing of two colored women, one
by stabbing and another with poi
son. Last Monday the Askins case
came into court on a habeas corpus
proceeding
Justice Schweinhaut, in issuing
the provisional order to free Askins,
expressed the view that he had
reasonable doubt that Askins is in
sane. In delaying the time for the
mans release, authorities were given
time to ask for a regular sanity
hearing before jury if they desire.
The nation asking Justice
Schweinhaut to reconsider his ruling
was filed late yesterday by United
States Attorney Edward M. Curran
and Assistant United States Attor-
neys George E. Mcneil and Sidney
S. Sachs. 1t claims the evidence
offered at the habeas corpus hear
ing was not sufficient to create a
reasonable doubt Askins is insane.
The motion quotes from a ruling
of the Court of Appeals in another
case that where members of the
Commission on Mental Health and
the hospital staff both testify petit
toner is insane, there can seldom
be any reason for reopening the
commitment proceedings"
In the meantime, if no further
action is taken as to Askins' sanity
or he is finally found to be sane,
Mr. Mcneil says he will seek REIN
diCtmentS on murder charges.

 The oil refineries will furnish John o. Public with gasoline so he can keep the old car moving and take some of those weekend trips he has been deprived of for the past three years.
