that it should not be exhibited at all

Mr.. Sdman adds a word of caution. The habits and morals of a
basically conservative community cannot change quickly. Reshaplng OF
human values and associations requires the patient and devoted efforts
of all people in the community. The future of Denver in a large meas

bigotry, and prejudice. The solution of these problems lies in the hearts

Why Not Get These In
D. SAMUEL 5. TAYLOR, associate editor

Passers-by report that several children ranging from 7 to
10 years in age rummage through the garbage container at the
back Of the groceries on 23rd and Arch around $50 most
mornings. The children are ragged, dirty, and unkempt. During
the time other children are at school, these are meandering
around the city from this place to that. 1t would be interesting
to know their entire route.
Later on, some one will probably pick them up for violating
some minor laws. Gradually they will find the method and the
opportunity to engage in petty thelts. Then they will be carted
off to an industrial school, where they will become more skill
ed in the wrong thing.
Perhaps they are poor! Hungry! Their mothers and fathers
may be jobless!
Somewhere there should be a teacher who has missed these
children and has put an attendance officer on their case. Or
do we stl have teachers that check the causes of non-attend-
ance, and attendance officers who hunt truants? Or do we have
any attendance officers at all?
1t would be Just fine if some probation officer could man
age to see them and show as much enthusiasm for getting them
into school with Welfare help perhaps, as has sometimes been
shown for getting a child out Of school.

State Lynch Control Will Prevent
Federal Control. .

Amid the storm of protest against extension OF democracy
to the Negro, the fortnight statement of Leonard L. Perrin
against lynohing stands out. The primary problem OF the Ne
gro is security Of life and limb. No matter who says what, 1t
might well be stated honestly that every Negro hopes for that
outcome first of all.
If those who oppose Congressional legislation are honestly
opposed to it on the ground that 1t interferes with the legtl-
mate rights of the state, why don't they offer a substitute
any substitute-in the state statutes. Specific state legislation
against lynching ~enbodyng any kind of an antilynch pro-
gram which that state approves would win the approval Of the
Negro, the nation, and the world, and leave the south's problems
in the hands of the south.
The southern governors who buck the national party be-
cause of its attempt to extend democracy to the Negro are
standing in the way of this nations international leadership. 1t
is only as the United States can show democracy at home that
she can lead democracy abroad.
