SCOTT Editor and Publither Frank Marshall Davis Managing Editor PUBLISHED WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY, AND SUNDAY 210 AUBURN AVENUE, N. E. TELEPHONE: WALNUT 1459 - SUBSCRIPTION rates — 1 Year, $6.50; 6 Months, $3.50; 3 Months, $2.00; Weekly, 15 Cents - ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE W. B ZIFF CO., Ch : cago, New York, Los Angeles Down With Judge Lynch Synchronizing the Maryland lynching with tin conven ing of Congress. the niobbists have brought to the attention of that body the truth recently emphasized in the report on lynching coming out from the South that the < xcuse for the savagery often put forward that it is necessary to resort to it to protect white women is a subterfuge not supported by the records. In Maryland there was no woman involved. The man lynched was not accused of looking in the direction of a white woman. He is said to have killed a white man. with whom he quarreled about waees. We do not know the facts attending the homicide at all. The lynched man may have acted in self defense, or there may have been circiimstantes surrounding the killing that might have reduced it from murder to manslaughter. Those were questions for the court to decide in a speedy trial. Ip to the time he was lynched there was at most only one murderer, if indeed he were a murderer. Now there are in Maryland as many cold blooded murderers as actually struck down the colored man and then burned his dead body or as were present aiding and abetting in the satanic outrage. Now, in all soberness, whither are we drifting in his dangerous American reversion to savagery? That there will be crimes committed now and then is almost inevitable in a country so vast as is the United States. That once in awhile there will be fights and even murders committed by white men on black men and vice versa is also to be expect ed. A moral pervert may attack some woman, for as said before, this is a vast country. What then? Shall we abolish the courts?. Is it to be set down as true in a civilization as advanced as ours we cannot control our passions and allow the constituted au thorities to carry out the law? The 1 nited States cannot surrender to the mob. 'The law must be supreme or our doom is sealed. It the states are impotent in the premises, then the Federal Governs u mu. t act. Such outrages as the one enacted in Mary! <n ; a 'iort distance from the capital of the Nation cluilleng s the I nited States to show its pow er or else surrender tin govt i-mnent to the mad passion of an unreasoning - mob. Up with the law! Down with Judge Lynch!

FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS More out ot curiosity than for any other reason, 1 have spent some little time wondering just who and wliat were all ot my ancestt rs in the year 1 <OO A. 1L Not that it would mean a thing, tor although the high nafne ot an individual’s loie parents may place him in a position to obtain success, his remaining there depends only on what he can do. As I figure it out- 1 had two pa rent.-, four grandparents, eigi.t great grandparents Hi great, great grandparents and >o on back to around 1700 when my aritl metic tells me that no fewer than 128 people then living were getting their heads together to see just how. sometime after 1900, they could give Frank Marshall Davis to a woild that ought to be. —but isn’t — grateful. Going further back to around 1492, when Columbus discovered Ameri ca, there then lived more than 16,000 people who. accord ; ng to the f gures. could today be point ed out as ancestors. So when you hear a Caucasian ror.i.ing around boas*ing about his ancestors coming over on the Mayflower. g : ve him a great oig laugh This ancestor was only one of several hundred loose .c the lime When a person starts talking about his ancestors of several generations ago, it isn’t one bit safe. He may point to a good man in h's family, but what about the others? In through there he might have had a horse thief or a radio tenor who could lay equal claims to ancestorship. I am curious to know what khW of people 1 had away bm k I imagine Hann bill had some with him when he tried to kayo Juiiu Caesar. Or one might have been Hannibal himself How do 1 know? After all the whole proposition of ancestors : s valuable only a something to keep awake thinking about after a midnight meal of pickle: ice cream and fi. h when you realize there’s a nice bg nightmare just around the coi ner. A person has to live up to some foreparents while he lives down others. When I hear anybody mention •‘family” to me in a serious tone of vo ce—and plenty of Atlantan talk about the’r “family name”— I feel like telling that person go barbecue a radish. 1 suppose it’s be>t that we let all our ancestors sleep. We might dig up one who was a Somebody - but there haven't been so many Somebodies in exsteme. We night be disappointed in the others. Week-End Mosaics By Algernon B. Jackson. M. D. < For The Associated Negro Press । Power and More of It! The philosophy of Nietzche has always enthralled me in spite of the many thoughts he advances with which I cannot bring myself to agree. But no one can read aftc him for ewi a brief moments and not catch a new’ vision of POWER, and iv ■ ve: whelming possibilities for aceon phshing great things. This vi ,!e German philosopher '.as a devotee : t the shrine of POWER and his every word car r-es back of it a punch which make.- you want to seek baptism in tha! faith in spite of yourself and your own normal impulses I n America today there are about twelve million citizens who are pr.K brally isolated from the bi| 'ei life of this nation. becau a* they have no aporeeiation o i POWFR and its significance. Ie this great civilization about w । this group hover along the di.i.ml edges, we are all generally con vinced that the great source of i LOWER IS WEALTH. Likew .

How can anybody forget depression when this gaunt pectre stalks through the land on ■>very side. I WONDER IF our young people give it a passing thought when they read the paper about the trial of Willie Peterson, accused of murder ing a white woman, that he is pleading innocent. The defendant has pleaded innocent from the time of his arrest, even when he was shot by the murdered gel's brother, and in custody of the sherrif, suf fering at the point of death, IN THE VERY SHADOW OF’ DEATH he meekly said "Missus" is identi fying the wrong man." In the trial in Birmingham from newspaper reports, white and colored people have testified that he was sick at home at the time of the murder and it was physically impossible for him to commit the crime. I Wonder if our young people in their quest for pleasure, give th" lowly Negro a Passing THOUGH!' We can't change the verdict of uv jury but we can at least THINK.

I REW WITH much concern a! ways the one hundred dollar com plcte funeral ad of DAVID 1 HOWARD a plain business propo sition where Mr. Howard says the purchaser knows what he is get ting for his money.

Of course. Japanese nerves are m t a bit more sensitive than Haiti m nerves but Japanese guns ar? bigger and longer, and Japan's warship tonnage is heavy. Il is i poor argument for "disarmament " and demilitarization when t h e weak nations see how much gen nine respect a military organiza tion can get even from the great United States The Japanese are in fact just as "colored” as are the people of Liberia, but nobody in Washington is giving "orders" to Japan.
