COURAGEOUS JURIST
NegnrO^ in North .^iaAKna will take courage in the very
coui:ageeii8 charge made by Judge Henry A. Grady to "the Grand
Jury of Person County last Monday, wihen he ordered that foody
to bring to justice the "misguided hoodlums and inconsequiehtial
nobodies" who attempted on last August 10. to Ijmcb a Negro
^/Iwrged with raping^ a white girl. >,ni j *
Said Judge Grady; '!
*'You and I are white men, as white men we make the laws
of this State. The Negro hasn*t anything to do with making
laws."
‘‘We as white men hold the N^nro up to the same laws thdt
white men observe. Yet, I blush to admit there are white prople
in North Carolina who think the Negro should not have as fair a
trial as a white man.
“Governor Brousrhotn is horrified and outraged to hate such
» thing as this near-lynchinj? happen in the old State of North
Carolina where we profess to be honest Christian gentlemen. ”
Later on in his charge the Jurist referred to another Negro,
leroy Wagstaff who was convicted in Alamance County of rap
ing a white woman two years ago upon the testimony of the
f
promap and her husband. Wagstaff was given the death sen-
teace« but appealed the case, whereupon he was granted a new
, trial and :^{ain sentenced to.death.
^oth'^ie white woman and'the white man later confessed
tbey had'lied, and have been sent to the penitentiary for per-
. jury. Wagstaff has since had his sentence commuted and will be
- pardoned.
“I am telling you this so that you can see what a horrible
thing it would have been if that Negro had been lynched,^’ said
' Judge Grsdjr. «
“I am charging and directing you now to make a sweepinsr
»n of all phases of this n^'r-lytoching. It is your
ity to bring every member of that mob to justice if you can.”
This one eff-eirt on the part of Judge Grady has done more
Kcurb those in NoHi^ Carolina who are prone to take the law
th^ own hands, and resort to mob violence, than can be
m ten yean through other methods. It is now up to the
JuKW of Person County to do its part.

Under constitutional industrial freedom,
the values of all commodities and all ser
vices sold on the op6n competitive market;
were fixed not by men btit by natural forces**
The vahi^ force eStpresded in demand
and supply* in b natural fared biaS^ on the
wants of ^n. Every Americftn citiasen un
der the Constitution has' th6 inalienable
right to sell his commodities and services at
the market price, and the right to buy the'
commodities and services \of others at the
market price under conditiiofts of tlw consti*
tutional right of freedom of contract.
When an American citizen demands more
than the market price for any commodity or
service he has for sale, he is demanding that
property to which he has nefther an econom
ic nor a morarright be talq^n from the right
ful owners and given to him. Such a demand
is fundamentally dishonest. ^
All problems of legitimate compensa
tions, under the Constitution, for goods and
services sold on the market weresoldx)n this
basis of mar*ket value. Every Anierican citr
tizen had the right to demand the market
value for whai ne had to ^ell but no tnore.
' But the constitutional market value basis
for determining all legitima^fe Values has
been abandoned*in rccent y6arsj and no tan
gible basis has been put in its place. We have
no recognized ethical standai*d now for fix
ing the valuation pf services. We have
changed from recognized law to irrespon
sible force in fixing compensation. The slo
gan now, is “organize, threaten serious in
jury, use force and get all ydii can regard
less of either economic or legitimate moral
justification.’' jCan any civilization survive
under the barbarian theory that “might is
right”?

service in pointing out that some of soH^lled
race prejudice amounts to plain falsehood.
' Mr. Johnson, writing in The Baltimore
Evening Sun, says that “If every Jew in
America were exterminated tonight never
theless tomorrow we would still be on the
verge of war.
He makes his argument on the ground
that “every man, even though he might be
of the purest German blood, who has stood
up for freedom and decency has received the
same treatment from Hitler that Jfes been
accorded the Jews, or worse.” All conquer
ed nations of Europe, Greek or Norweigian,
have thousand of men who can testify to
this.
Continuing, Mr. Johnson says, “Assert-
that the Jews, as a group, are not pushing
this country into war is not tolerance. It is
truth. Asserting the contrary is hot race
prejudice; it is lying, although it may be
based on prejudice«.. There are 4,707,000
Jews in this country, which is almost exact
ly one in thirty. If they are pushing us into
war, then one Jew is pushing around twen
ty-nine Gentiles, whi^ I, for one, don’t be
