To retain a free press, we will use taution in the publication of false rumors or untrue state ments. To retain freedom of re- ligrion, we will accord t* all other gTOupa tl’e salne rights that we claim for ourselves. For unless we are willing to consider the rights and privileges of others, White workers will be propor tionately halted. As a matter of 8plf-defense—if for no other con- ■idenition— we must be loyal to the high prin^^e^ which Orga nized Labor for itself, namely, “never to discriminste against a feilow-worker on ac count of creed, color or national ity.” James Smith Chained and Left to Die BY LEON LEWIS ST.

James Smith, a New Orleans longshoreman, ha(d gone with attorney, Charles Mundy, to St. Francisville, where he had enter ed a civil suit for damages and falsa arrest against Ewen Ritchie in the sum of $1,294. Mundy rushed him ibo Baton Rot»ge hospital for first aid and then brought him to New Orleans Charity hospital*^ where he is now confined with a fractured Jaw, bruised head and body. Smith stated thart he recognized Sheriff TedtMartin, A. P. LeBlanc of Tunica, Ewen Ritchie, his attorney and two brothers. Attorney Mundy stated that he would fight the incident to the U. S. Supreme court if necessary to get reprisal. He stated that it is the first time in this state that a public officer has led a lynch mob, and that he c&nnot see for what reason the hoodlums would want to lynch Smith lifter they had won the case. A Good Crowd Attended Mills Stadium Wed. Night BY F. M.

Vandever, who has played no college football, made the Pan thers’ firjrt touchdown in the opening quarter on a dazzling, comet-like dash of 78 yai'ds. Later '“he sprinted 60 yards for six points and in the final period he flashed 85 yards, completely reversing his field twice 4|nd elud. in? as if by magic whole clusters of Waukegan players who seem ingly had him trapped. Several other times he made long gains, completed forward passes, aind kirked four points after the tohchdown. Washington also made a touch down on a GO yard off tackle sprint in the second quarter the first time he lugged t#ie pik ikln, and later made other brilliant running gains in addition to com pleting a number of aerials.

Let Teacher Do It ♦ ♦ ♦ Cramming Pre-School Child Is Unwise By CAMT CUVILAHO MTIU. FkD. • INTELLIGENT fmrtidta are eager to do fomething at home to prepare th‘« child before h« enters school to get on well with book* after he b^sina school.

A few, alas, will try to teach him to vead, spcJl and do number work. I wish they iKouldn’t. All too soon ha will have such formal teacUng at school. We should nmember. too, that his eyes are poorly coordi nated. Why tax hia tender nerws ■o early? His parents should, however, If without undue stimulation, help' Um widen and enrich his «peri- ences and keep alive his cmriosity. They should answer all hi* ques tions and encourage him in free convsrsation and creative play. [Also they should read and read to Ihim, expose him to good muuc, !and enjoy with him the beauties of Nature. Leantiag at Play If at play he learns some or all ,the letters of the alphabet and .ntunber symbols with their mean- 'ing up to ten, very well. If he likes to draw just for fun, he might even profit from printing very .large a few of the letters and num ber symbols. Unfortunately, how ever, some parents will set the lit tle tyke to do such things as tasks and to tax him with the making of small letters and figures. If he makes them at all before going to school, let it be for fun and let them be several inches in dimen sion. In case there is a typewriter in tha home he might profit tnm, 4l^g a^ le^n or figure, at' a sitting with it. . .

Also a good way to hdp him grow familiar with the number and relative order of the ntunber symbols up to nine inclusive is to play Flinck with him.

WILLIAM PICKENS FOR WILLIKE’, NAACP NEUTRAL t NEW YORK — The action of of Dean William Pickens, direc tor of branches in the National Association for the Advancement of Ctolored People in heading a non-paitisan committee of Ne- griies working for the election of Wendell Willkie, doefc not repre sent in any way “aft expression of policy of the NAACP”. secor- ding to a special aUtement re leased today by officials of the Association. The complete texit of the statement follows: “Annbuncement on September 11 by the Wendell Willkie head quarters * at Rushville, Indiana, of the ‘formation of a Ntero ci tizens non-.partisan commiitttee for ijr. Willkie, headed by William Pickens, director of branches for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’ makes necessary the statement lliat Mr. Pickens' action in on way is an expression of the policy of the NAAOP. “Whatever Pickens does one behalf We canHdac^*t-of Mr# Willkie, he does soley and wholly as an kidividual and not as a paid executive of the Asaocis- tion.
