NTA. j:SIDELIGHTS Dee By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen A writer declares that Mr. Douglas of ‘Arizona, the new director of the budget, is of Scotch descent. This information, if -true, should be reassuring to the taxpayers. ‘It may also cause justified alarm among “& @obd many superfluous sun ieeiies on the federal payroll. Of all the emergency legislation Sponsored by President Roosevelt it ap- pears that the new farm relief bill has ‘gaused the greatest misgivings as to its ‘ pesults. Even the president has stated that it is only an experi- ‘mene Other measures designed to aid the | have signally failed, but there is _ | fh insistent demand for further legislation his behalf. ‘of persecutions of Jews by ler government of Germany ‘ Seve-beon most -eonflicting. ‘The truth | $668 to he that there have been per- :eciitions, but that they have been greatly : Skagiterated.

Windows and_ fur- ‘niture were broken, among other acts of rowdyism, atid one policeman was knocked out. Two students were fined $5 each and “the vest went free. Which was a cheap price for the fun—if one calls it fun. «Judge Joseph Sabath of Chicago, celebrated his 63rd birthday by issuing a sort of emancipation proclamation, He announced that in future he would not send husbands to jail for failure to pay alimony if they were unable to pay, but in- stead would try to help them get jobs. Those who can pay and won't will get the rap as heretofore. American soldiers and sailors may -buy their 8.2 per cent beer on military reser. ations, regardless of state prohibi- -fidn laws, First official permissiop for “opening an old-fashioned army “canteen” ‘was given the commanding officer at Fort j ‘Yeavenworth, in supposedly — bone-dry Kansas, by Major General Hagood, com- manding the Seventh Army Corps Area, vwith headquarters in Omaha. This is in “accordance with the practice in effect be- fore national prohibition. Yn contrast with religious persecution -in Germany and elsewhere, many in- stances of unusual cooperation among leaders of various faiths have occurred in| America of fate. A notable one was the meeting in New York on April 2, in which + Protestants and Jews joined with Catholics in celebrating the beginning of the Holy Year decreed by Pope Pius XI, the proe- igram being given a world-wide radio broadcast. THE SCOTTSBORO AFFAIR ~The verdict of guilty was rendered by a jury of Decatur, Alabama, citizens, with a sentence to death in the: electric |. chair, in the trial of a negro youth charged with rape. For some years past, there has been a tendency on the part of a large section of our emotional people to question the verdicts of juries in-cases of national én- terest. Without offering any opinion on the merits of the cases themselves, we might quote the Tom Mooney case, the Saceo-Vanhzetti case and the present Ala- bama case. Probably 99 out of every 100 persons who clamor for “justice” in these cases know nothing of the facts or the evidence. Carried away by writers in the sensational press, by half-baked agitators who have nothing better to do, and by emotional folks who are governed by their sym- pathies rather than. by their. intellects, masses of our people who are easily led, join with the agitators in demanding what they call “justice,” but what in reality is a demand for acquittal. The entrance of citizens of New York and other states into what the peo- ple of Alabama consider their own domes- tie affair, was unfortunate, as it aroused keen resentment. the southern states is one that has always demanded the most extreme penalties be- cause of local conditions, which. do not exist in other sections of the country. There isn’t a person in the country who would want to send the negro youth to the electri¢ chair if he is innocent. Nor is there a person in the country who would not demand the electric chair for him if the crime of rape had been committed by him on one of their own women. Let us be sensible and trust the courts, judges, juries and lawyers to see that jus- | - tice be done. BEER COMES BACK — After fourteen years, during which time the country patiently tried out ‘a noble. experiment,” thumbs were turned down on theories and theorists and a sane decision on the part of the American peo- .ple found its expression in the legalization of @ palatable, desirable and highly ‘val-| uable article of real food value-—beer. The outcome was inevitable. For fourteen years we have contended that the world never takes a. permanent step back- ward—and transferring the ‘production of beer from the scientific, sanitary and highly efficient, breweries to the un- scientific, unsanitary and germ-laden Aat- mosphere of the individual home was aj decisive step backward. Democracies. are prone to great er- rors. They are prone to great-errors for the simple reason that they are susceptible to unintelligent leadership and are fre- quently the victims of mass ignorance. The experiment of the country with prohibition was one of these ignorant mass waves, Led by well-intentioned, but ignorant leaders, fired with religious zeal and little else, our country was led into the most grievous error of modern times. But the great error has “been cor- rected. The entire country breathes a sigh of contentment, hardly daring to believe that it is all true and that ignorance and prejudice have been relegated to oblivion. The acclaim with which the return of beer has been hailed by Americans everywhere is a proof, not only of the desire of the people for béer, but of the fact that in the future they will hesitate before again listening to the voice of the blind and ignorant demagogue, religious or other- wise. A BRAVE VE PROPHET Again the baseball pennant races are on, and sports writers ate risking their reputations by predictions respecting the winners. Perhaps the bravest prognostica- tor of all is Damon Runyon, veteran sports | seribe for the Hearst newspapers, who not only predicts the wingers, bat makes a complete list of how all the teams will stand at the end of the season. Here it is: Nationals—<Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Boston, Cincinnati. Americans—-New York, Washington, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Boston. That Mr. Runyon doesn’t think much of Boston’s reputed culture is indicated by his placing the Hub’s two teams in seventh and eighth place, respectively. The crime of rape in.
