LONC (Former Municipal J udge) to EXPEltI E N C E D I N YOUTH AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS :VOJE 2.1 X •(Paid Adv.) A mammoth mass meeting has been c~lled next Mon– day night at~the W. 0. W. Auditorium, East Sixth and Alder, to consider the staging of a World's Electrical Ex– position in 1938 on the occasion of the completion of the Bonneville dam. The Advocate urges the colored citizens to have representation there so that proper consideration will be given this vital part of our citizenry. Also, it is the duty of every loyal citizen to do his or her part in making this Exposition a success. It will mean more advertising to the State and from a financial standpoint, it will be hard at this early date to determine the great benefit to be derived • from such an undertaking.

Due to the shrinkage in values, gre.at fortunes have shriveled away almost to the vanishing point.

AVERTING A LYNCHING The following editorial from the Times-Picayune, lead– ing New Orleans' daily is both unique and illuminating: "DEPUTIZING A MOB" . "One of the year's prize awards for distinguished serv– ice, or valor, or mastery of an emergency, or something along :hose lines, should be awarded to the 74-year-dd Georgia Judge who broke up a lynching party last week by the brand-new device of 'deputizing' the would-be lynchers. Summoned from . a sick-bed by the Sheriff, after the mob .had started to batter a hole through the wall of the jail in which their prospective victim was held, the aged jurist had to think , and to act, with lightning speed and precision. Mob psychology is a fearful and wonderful thing, usually proof against appeals to reason, temporarily bereft of all respect for law. "Doubtless mindful of all this, the Georgia jurist re– sorted to an expedient never, so far as we recall, tried be– fore. 'I declare you all deputized officers,' he shouted to the mobsters, 'and I recognize most of you here.' Here was created on the instant a situation no member of the mob had ever dreamed of. It took them by complete surprise. From emotionally overwrought and irresponsible private citizens they had been transformed into officers of the law specially charged with the responsibility and duty of its protection against outrage. Their psychological reaction doubtless was completed by the iudge's warning that he recognized and could identify most of them. "So, we are told, the 'mob dispersed,' leaving only a few irresolute loiterers that the sheriff could handle. The danger of mob outrage was dispelled even more quickly than it had arisen, by the courage, quick wit and sound psy– chological procsses of the veteran Georgia jurist, who knew his people and his duty and found a way to make them re– ognize theirs." It is reported that there are about 2,450 Gestapo gents (German Secret Police) working in foreign countries an estimated cost of 20,000,000 marks a year. Alto– ther propaganda and esoionage are costing the German emment the sum of 262,002,000 marks annually or ,000,000. ELECT Ju d g .e Hendrickson to the IO years Judicial Experience. (Paid Adv.)
