j C THE JUDGE JUDGED
It is an av «some thing to judge a fellow mart.
Endowed with no divine wisdom or insight, but
equipped with only the regular complement of human
knowledge, prejudice , and feelings, any thoughtful man
must hestitate before passing judgment on a fellcw being.
Society being what it is, we must have judges to
enforce those minimum rules of conduct that we have
decided are neóí"'^;,;" • ;h> •■¡•T,.mon safety. But even
those judges we •Hnu.t •«'■fh ait possible restrictions,
seeking to insure that tue ¿«"".cent be not wronglj . i-
victed. Even such ordered puniic justice is f-illible enoMg.i.
But when individual men, or bodies of men, irrespon-
sible and self-appointed, begin to judge their fellow
men, nothing but horror and injustice can follow.
There is in Atlanta, Ga., a man who knows this.
With othore of his kind he presumed to judge others.
By nig'ht, faces hidden, these self-appointed judges wen1
forth to judge their fellow men. One drank too much,
they thought. One was not true to his wife, they suspected.
One dared to join a labor union to improve his condition.
And sd the midnight judges came, and took them away,
and whipped them, drunk with the power of number*
and seéWcy and violence. One victim died of their
lent."
i
"Mi
<b.
t there came a day when this young Georgia man
was brought to orderly judgment. The court gave him
a hearing, and a chance to defend himself, and he repre-
sented by counsel. And it found him guilty.
He had seemed to himself a brave figure by night,
when, surrounded by his gang, he looked through the
slits in his hood and watched the lash bite into the bared
back. ;
But now he cried out that he had been framed,
pleaded with the court to be allowed to go home to his
wiffe and children. He buried his face on his wife's
shoulder and sobbed. He who had presumed to judg >
others cringed before their judgment of him.
Let all who incline to judgfe severly their neighbors
picture to themselves the misery of this wretched Georgia
boy, who must now learn in prison the toleration which
society hafd somehow failed to teach him elsewhere.
Let *11 such re-read the words of the gentle Orlando,
in Shakespeare's "As You Like It":
"I will chide no breather in the world but
myself, against whom I know moat faults."
ADAPTABLE liAÑ
Man is infinitely adaptable. He has had to be, else
he would not have lasted through all the miseries he
has brought upon himself through the centuries.
fie gets used to war, as he gets used to anything
else. The first air raid causes panic. The second causes
alarm. But the 49th merely means scuttle underground
and wait. It becomes a bore.
Little flashes of this human trait emerge from the
panorama of war. It is nil easy to forget the picture
r.f a British submarine crew which had torpedoed a
German ship in the Kattegat. Destroyers rushed to the
scene, began furiously dropping depth bombs as the
sub "crash-dived" and lay on the bottom wailing for
annihilation that might come at any moment.
What did the crew do as they waited through those
moments freighted with life or death? They played
cards. sR

AN ECHO DIES AWAY
Vienna has been dead a long time. The Vienna,
that is, of song and story, the pleasant, easy-going,
tolerant city of waltzes and wine. It suffered a mortal
wound in the World War. It died when the Nazi troops
marched if).
So ft seemed strange the other day to read that
Victor Leon has also just died there. He wrote lyrics a
whole world sang, to Lehars tunes of "The Merry
Widow."
But Leen was Jewish, and so his property had been
confiscated, his last years were lived in desperate pov-
erty. It was an ill return from a world to which he had
given match joy.

ground as Sam went to the
mount's head. Tugging at the sad-
dle, the jockey called over his
shoulder to Sherry Bond, "You
can't say I didn't give your horse
a ride." He jerked off the sad-
dle-ran into the enclosure and
weighed, threw his tack to his fat
valet, and stalked off lo the jockey
room.
Gray Star the winner, by half
a nose; Pepper Boy a bang-up
second—bui a nose ahead was as
good as a mile ahead. Sherry re-
called, and the world paid ofT
onlv on winners.
"Miss Bond?" A messenger was
standing in front of her.
"Yes?"
"Secretary's compliments, Miss
Bond, and he says will you please
have Pepper Boy taken into the
paddock.'' He spoke the wordR as
an order, not a request.
"Taken into the paddock? For
what?"
"Secretary's complimcnls—for
delivery to his new owner. He's
been claimed."
She had lost the roce—now she
was losing her horse; a colt that
had shown superb class—that whs
worth three or four times Uie

she had been to start him out of
his class—to run him with a group
of cheap Morses. She might hove
known some wily trainer would
claim him—why, he was a stand-
out—in that great drive down the
stretch he had showed Derby
quality—his first race at that!
Yes, she was a fool! Paul.

—well. If he weren't «Iwuys beg-

getting so bossy. sh« fnight have
listened. Paul was right.
He was right about her marry-
ing him, too. Deep in her heart,
Sherry rcalimi that she was in
love with Paul, had always been
In love with him. But he had
determined to keep her
in n dusty brown suit and brown
derby.
A tall husky in a wide-brimmed
Stetson drawled: "Not so fust,
stranger—we got a claim in, too."
"Wait a minute, white folks,"
Sam protested, "you can't get this
here horse till yon give me an
order from the secretary. Any-
way, which one of you white gen-
cJmen done claim de colt?"
The man in the derby glared
up at the trainer in the broad-
brimmed hat. "A boy's bringing
me the order—be here in a min-
ute."
"We'll see," the tall one said,
and turned aside.
"I'm gonna start coolin' this
here horse right now," Sam grum-
bled belligerently, and began
walking Pepper Boy in a long
circle,
"Which one of you gets my
horse?" Sherry wanted to know
The man in the Stetson spoke,
as it he hated to say anything:
"Whichever one wins the roll,
Miss Bond. Our owners are in
there," he nodded toward the sec-
retary's office, then explained, as
if realizing that she was new to
racing:
"When two or more claim a
nag. then the clalmers roll for
the horse. High man with the
dice wins."
"Oh. 1 see. Just—which atables

"Who is your owner?"

handkerchief, look'xl fitralght at
her before he answered: "Mr.

caught herself in time. She was
about to blurt out, "Paul Whar

wants to marry me!" For an In-
stant she was silent. She could
not believe what she had heard,
and she did not want to. "Where's

to ask.

trainer tepeatea. "Mr. Wharton

AS Sherry approached the door-
way to the secretary's office
she heard a familiar voice ring-
ing out—loud and clear; the voicc
of Uncle Willie Bond. She had
forgotten all about him. Sh<
crossed the threshold.
Running along the end of thr

behind the counter stood a tal'
