JUDGE FEATHER STONE ON WF ~ CRIME. Judge Featherstone in his t _-| t, ? ~ 1 - i unarjfcj.v tuc giaiiu jury at tne Wt^-?June term of Court for?Green* Kb. wood county, delivered himself K'. - of some strong observations. A?mong some of the forceful exK pressions appearsr this: "More K-?than 80% of the crime of-torfjiy is being committed hy white BF"~" peftple." While to the colored BjF~people this might seerri good for them, yet It has its serious as _ ' i . * I / j ?ect: It used to be said that the t Negro was responsYblff^tflr the! i High per centage of crime. The t Negro has tightened up and now i the white ra>ee has assumed-thejleadership. But unless improve- = ] ment is made by them we fear t the colored brother will fall from! 1 his high estate, for it is a fact ? that the colored population is go- i ing to be just about what the 1 whites are, particularly in these.^ things which exhibit the weak- * ness of life. And another state- t ment of the Judge bears this out, < to a certain degree; "White peo- i pie are backing Negroes in run- 1 ning whiskey stills-and makings the Negroes bear the .brunt of j the punishment." There is no * doubt &bout that statomerit. Wo| have seen Negroes-plead guilty j to manufacturing ljquor. when everyone know that, from?the? whnlpsale quantity of-the mater?: ials to be made into liquor cap- " tured along with the costliness i of the still,, it was. impossible for the culprit to be operating forjc himself. - We hope that the per-! t centage of the -colored people,) however, will grow even less, if I there just must be crimes?no s use to imitate the whites, in ev- I ery tiling. ~ ~ i -^THVU. S. AN3D HAJT1 ^ A fewvweeks ago, a -professor { of tlxa Umv^^ity of Pennsylva^;] ma gotmad-with one of the editors of the Messenger, a rnlorpd t delivering his speech, fjcom the same platform as the professor, t denounced the" course^ conduct i and motive of Urt",S. governmen't in its treatment of Haithii The-professor maintained -that' 1 the government was acting the'l part of a good Samaritan to the i Haitans; the editor holding oth-,i erwise. Now comes the New I; York World witn wnat is assert-'j ed the true, if not the official,' 1 reason for^the occupation ofl Haiti by Uncle Sam. In plain i words, it states that the United- 1 States is in Haiti to protectrttttrH moneylenders. Ttizicoks thaU< way too for by forced and farcial 1i treaties the government under-1 takes to take charge of Haitians. 3 affairs 1 Tmttl tha?large?loans-2 made are repaid. The Marines, who have played the devilwTtlf ~ Haitians, seem to be a fixture there, certainly until 1936 anv- , ~ V way. More hypocritical propa-!j[ ganda has been sept out about;] the -fine, uijselfishr service thist country has given to the ~poorb Haitians than of " any"tiling doneH recently by the government.1] There has always been someth-j ing suspicious about this move of j ( the United Statos, for whenever ] it has undertaken to play the1 wet nurse for small, weak coun-j ] tries, there has always been! j something hidden in the wood-'] pile. Meanwhile,, Haiti is cry-'] ing to high heaven te be deliver-j ( ed of its more than kincTTriend.', We fear however that the Hai-L tians will only continue to cry j can get up the money and repay', the American money lenders, for' | the dollar mark is t.hA prnd ^ of-thiB country?dbefore which every thing bows.
