The judges of the State are!
beglnhiflg To' rail attention to" r
the fact that more whites than .ft
\ colored are now appearing as de a]

Is it because the colored people

?the?officers are waking-up to! (
the fact that a white criminal is

ROHIB1TION AND THE 15TH
AMENDMENT s]
_ : ; ? * g
Discussing many things at a w
;mocratice pow-wow, celebrat- ^
g Jackson Day, Governor Al- ^
jrt C. Richie of Maryland devered
himself of some peculiar ?'
leas in respect to observance _
f laws. Speaking of the pro- ^
ibition law, he Bald, "So long as
exists, it should, of course, be
pheld and respected but just^
3 good citizens in the Squtji feet ,
lat refusal to obey the'iotii a-'
tendment involves no real issue ^
nd jj- na violation of their
idual conscience^ so do many;
jel about the 18th Amendment").^
ow, can you beat that ? "So; ^
?ng as it exists (Prohibition) it
luuld, of course, be upheld and|^
sspected." Even though one ?
_ _ _ J i ll' "1 ti
LTionany aoesnt liKe it,
overnor meant. Everyone will t ,
gree that that is the duty of all j ^
ood citizens. That being true, I ^
an there be a difference when itl^
ames to the observance of the
5th Amendment even though it
; not one's taste and idea? How
an there be a duty to observe
te one "so long as it exists"
nd-notthc other??And i ^
aij be a good citizen while not
bserving the one, why can't he'jj
e a good citizen in disregarding *
) make "individual conscience"
ie test 01 law observance in as
ir as the 15th Amendment is .
ancerned. But if ^individually
mseierice" is to ~15<rthe_ test, j,
ho but the individual is to dede
what law or laws he will ob- ~
irve ? And when this country

aaos will be the result. " Aceor- r,

HE WORK OF THE N. A. A. r(
C.P. # u
The recently issued Annual n:
iport of the National Associa- T
ion for the Advancement of
olored People shows -that the ?
ast year has been one of its h(
est and most useful. While y?
ie summary does not say so,
at it is not hard to reach the ol
inclusion that the activity and
fectiveness of this Association s*
_due_ lo-lts-ahlg And energetic leaders,
men "of visipn,' ability
id courage. Perhaps there is ci
o other colored or near colored H
ganization in America that is tV
d by men of equal ability and
lbstantial accomplishments as T
thts Association. And it is in
ither a reflection on AmericaF
lat such men, instead of being ;h<
'ee to use their talents for the ai
renter good, must pin themdves
down to the work 6i stam- oi
ing- out what really ought have ti
o place in democratic America. N
ut maybe Premier Mussoloni w
f Italy, after all, has a pretty
;.ir conception of American de- pi
locracy when he says, "the de- tl
locracy of t^ie United States is w
lore appareritthan real. It fune-lm
ons well because of the Na- h<
il riches, which permits a huge w
id constant waste of energies." w
hat can be taken in a spiritual vi
id intellectual sense as well as.T
aterially. "?
