We have been'told tnat Morris’ rao>.he,^ is now insane, and that a« a child ^ was taken in jy syinpatiii-tlc trieuas auu Drought up as best they could. We have Oeen told tiiat this man in a snort ^>an of hia life ha^s committed more ‘burglaries than tho^e committed by the average criminal three times hia age. ±ne I'e- r.ecords show tnat.witn practically a life ?entence nangiug over "bis ^ead Xnl 'otner .burgtaiy cases 'against him on the waiting lis’tT he escaped from tne state penitentiary at Kaleign and went to Ueademon, around 3U miles irum. Ahe scene of his escape; and started anew another serie.° of burglaries. If a person other than a cleptomaniac would gamiile witn his fre^edom in such a manner we wbftld li':e for him to ‘be brought f^th. We ibelieve that any sane person, within the .«pace of the 14 (kiys Morris was free would have at leaft been on his way to the otber «de of the nation. " »• Arthur Morris has done no violence, atlhuogh- there are many who woiild take his life for what he might have done. He has brought the wrath oi many on his head because he escaped. We ■believe that when a life ter^ prisoner escapes from prison that at Icut part of the responsijjilit^ tor his ereape should be placed on 'those into whope charge he has been piace4, unless- we are going to let prisoners keep themselves. The records at the state penitentiary phow that no white man has ev#r been put to death in Konh Carolina for bu^lary. It also shows that only six persons in all have paid 'with' their llves_for the crtine, and that all of them ^ave Ibeen Negroes. We are of the opinion that the least North Carolina qan dc tio Arthur Morris is lo commute hia^^seAtence to life imprisonment. To take his life when it is a ktiown fact his mother was crazy is to gamftile on him not inheriting any of her traits. Mercy in this case it appears is more becoming than what may be considered Justice. . WILLING TO WORK The employmg «f white women ap. tobacco stemmers in Sfeveral cities in North Carolina ushers in a new day in this State. Whether Negroes in general realize it or not it means.^bat another citadel of Negro employment has fallen, and will no longe^be considered purely a Negro job. We hail the news with a degree. Of'alarm 'because we are a- ware of the fact that Negroes comprise most of the unemployed in America, and with such menial Job.s as stemming toibacco being taken away from tliem they are .destined to suffer even more from unemployment;. While most ofHhe willingness of white people to enter fields of endeavor formerly monopolized (by Negroes may be attributed to the general unemployment condition in the Country^ there are other reasons why Negroes are being replaced by white workeara. Qfle of the greatest reasons iit IaaW pf tfependabiTIiiy exhibited by a Urge number of Negroes already.employed in white in^.jistry. No man or 'wsssair can ^opejw BoW"& lob today ’Wteo~ls~m>t-iJe»* pendable. Neither can he or she hope to .«tay out of the ranks ot\ the uneiailfleyed by being lazy, shiftless and careless. Very few capatile men and women are on a 'job hunt very long. There are plenty of Joibs open for men and women who are willing to work and who have ability. The stemming of tobacco may net be considered ipportant by those who stem it, 'but it is considered important by those who own tte tobaicco industry, and they ire going to employ the best available help. The fooHsh id'e»1ield try some*Negroes that white womea cat not stand the physicial straip of stemming tobacc^ has (been proven a lie. Unless Negro women and men in other places of employnvent are willing to grive the type of service that is going to make them a necessity, they will find every field of endeavor now occupied by Negroes invaded by those of the opposite greup who are willing work. bu it came throiigli without the lus* of prestige. It is always un fortunate for a gieat (Jnribtian conclave lo meet under uii- 'Christian auspices. In many ways it was unfoKunate that the alliance met in Atianta, al though it is t be hoped that it had some iMeraiizing ef|:ec-t'i on Atlanta and Ueoigiaj but iiiorb than once ' concluded tlut At* •anta was inCeiraciliy uuprepar-' »d for such meeting.

When Atlanta marked off fli'e meeting, places by ‘convealions, etc.’ it displayed an ingenuity in segregation that was', marvel ous for Atlanta knew that if members of the National iiapt- ist convention sat together, Ne groes would automatically be segregated. Everybody “Knows that Atlanta segregates its Ne gro citizens and segregation was therefore to be expected; but such practices are always in^tniijCli4 to the hesb interes^i of C^istian fellowship. J£^h e cause of ' Otristianity lofes whereev^r ^nd whenever it must ^‘ChaiMbetlainize’' ita • progi am. It was most unfortunate tliat so many of .speakers including the retiring president felt called upon to make derogatory refer ences to the Catholic church. Time and again some speaker directly or indirectly ’■iled c Church of R| mei' T^is too in the^face of the avowed puipose of' the ■ allianc# to combat intol erance of every kind.

In fact if the alliance did - no more '^'or the Negfo de legates than give them - oppor tunity to fee the-first and (^nly Negro daily arid Sunday p^pir in the world it has done Wind ers for the pride and In^ira- tion of the Negro race.
