KJ what is asserted to be a miscarriage of justice in Ameri

the European press dispatches. Now Americans are near

They-know about the Scottsboro case in Europe where
probably not a hundred people in Salem know anything
about the case. ' " '. ;
-la it a defect in our American newspaper reporting; or
has the case been distorted out. of all proportion by the
radical agitators in Europe? We first! read about the case
in The Nation which a month ago published an article under
the title "Eight who must not die" by Dorothy Van Doren.
We have seen neither before nor since hardly any news
stories on the case In our western papers save those with
the European date line. It is not, we believe, that Ameri
can newspapers are trying to suppress news, but rather
that miscarriage of justice. in southern' courts dealing with
negroes is not uncommon, rarely regarded as news;" and the
southern papers predominantly white, ;which send out the

. What is the case! Briefly this. There was a crowd of
bums on a railroad train in northern Alabama, whites and
blacks, among the whites two females dressed in men's
attire. There was a fight in which the white men were
some of them put off the train, though! negroes rescued
some from falling under the train to their death. Some of
the negroes got off, others remained onj ; At Scottsboro nine
negro boys were taken off and jailed on charges of rape of
the two girls. In the trial of one, a boy of 14, a mistrial
was ordered when seven jurors insisted ira the death penalty
although the boy was too young for such a sentence. The
other. eight were convicted after trials which attracted ten
thousand people to the town. Only one! of the girls said she
could identify the defendants. The testimony, according to
Mrs. Van Doren, was far from convincing as to the guilt
of the parties or even as to whether j the girls had been
molested. She writes; "The two girls jwere casuals, young
women whose reputation is, to put it mildly ; not of the best.?
The sentence of death upon 'the eight colored boys Ha
suspended pending an appeal to the supreme court of. Ala
bama, where the defense ia endeavoring to ahow that mob
display intimidated the jury and prevented a fair verdict. The
organization which tries to safeguard -rights of negroes is
undertaking to carry forward the defense, but the commun
ist sympathizers, who have long sougnt to get support
among the negroes, have been trying to work into the case
trn This hack-fire from Russia is evidence of communist
fntation; The daneer is that
of the case of these eight boys the case may not be heard on
its merits, but the clamor of communism will create such a

the radicals had not made an issua oui oi it.
It is quite likely that the eight were 'chiefly guilty of
being negroes. It is hardly to be believed that all eight were
guilty of the crime charged. But the Alabamans take their
nrkif a innwmarv sprinuslv and a few neirro bums mora or

" V War in History Books ;

nothing but a study of men s meanness and it should De
taken out of history books entirely. Such an exaggerated
statement might be permitted to pass if the intention was
merehr to overstate in order
typical of so much academic nonsense that it ourht to be
inflated. Mrs. Johnson is listed as the director of the school
f "organic education" at Fairhope, Alabama. What "organic
education is we wi3 not presume to say. j Organic chem
istry" is a familiar term ; but we : had supposed- that all
education was "organic Mrs. Johnson is a lecturer in child
psychology , and presumably opposes war stories in. history
books 'to keep the child mind free from developing any
martial attitudes. . t :; '
But is war in history nothing but chronicle of men's
-Jneanness ? We had not thought so. In fact the most severe
'criticism of our history books is that their description of war
has been to glorify it. Far from being a tale of meanness of
taen, history has been full of the heroic-deeds of men of
valor, men who dared to fight and die-for home and native
land. It is only in later times when war became mechanized
that it has been stripped of its glory. I i " I
Regarding taking war out of history books entirely, as
Mrs, Johnson recommends, how can" that be done with any
degree of honesty? Are we to understand that this eminent
authority in psychology would rear children in a false atmos
phere, acquainting them only with the perfumes and the
lilies of life, shielding them from its pains and meanness
and squalor? If so she is quite different from the majority
of the moderns who incline toward thrusting timid youth
into the vats of stinking realism in literature, in education
nJ ,tory IlpV can we delete war from bur histories
and ati3 be- faithful to truth? For wars hare been the
lunges on which great epochs moved. Dynasties rose or fell
at the issue of a battle. Cultures flourished or perished as
wars were won or lost. - :
We woujd not offend our guest from Alabama who Is
cere to enjoy the hospitality of Oregon; so we prefer to
think that she must-have been misquoted, or that the re
porter caught but a fragment of her lecture. We cannot
think lecturer of her disinction in a field where there has
teen as much iEumination as psychology would strip fact
from history and wrap our urchins in mental cotton batting.
