ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since Still Fighting For The Race! Senator Reed Smoot Reports Prof. Neval H. Thomas to the School Officials. FRESH OHIO NEWS What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc. Special to The Gazette Washington, D. C.—Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who recently ordered a book on Bolshavism removed from Howard University library, and the Dunbar High School closed to Messers Randolph and Owen, the scholarly editors of the Messenger, at which meeting Prof. Neval H. Thomas was to preside, preferred charges against Mr. Thomas because declared his intention to teach with the Wesley church to speak and conduct the meeting. He alleged that Mr. Thomas' continued protests against wrongs in our system "unfit him for teaching Negro youth." Mr. Thomas defied the senator and presided. The public rebuked the persecution most emphatically. Social clubs and many other meetings adjourned for the evening to attend the meeting which Mr. Thomas promised to lead in introductory remarks, Mr. Thomas said, amid tremendous applause: "If Senator Reed Smoot would read he could see the 'hand writing on the wall' which spells the doom of autocracy he seeks to uphold, that persecution only makes converts to the cause it seeks to crush, and that closing schools to truth and libraries to books does not take the hatred of oppression from the hearts of men. If the Negro assassin who carried the hatred of the Negro himself 'him report the meeting tomorrow and give the Senator my compliments." There was deafening applause in the audience so that he could not continue for some time. He declared that he would rather be out of the system than be a slave in it. Senator Smoot is on the civil service committee of the senate, yet not one word has he ever uttered about the vicious abuses these where color and not merit is the basis of appointment and promotion. He is one of FRESH OH Written by 'The Old Reliable Throughout What Our People Are Doing Personal, Social, Lodgical—Marriage WARREN—Mrs. Louisa Jane Crawford, 105 years old, was burned to death here last week Tuesday night when she fell upon a hot stove while preparing a meal for herself.

The senate restaurant has just recently been closed to colored, people as a reward for their brave fighting for democracy. A thousand other wrongs which the senate has done in the notice. He is over active, however, in suppressing those colored men who dare to be dissatisfied with autoe-rcy. Prof. Thomas has given some persons a good deal of trouble this year. Only last week he appeared before the judiciary committee of the House and told of the discriminations that Congress was tolerating, even the exclusion of the colored public from their own restaurants in the capitol building. He was also criticized by the Supreme Court and the Department of Justice on race issues, hence he is not a "loyal colored man." The colored people and a good many of the whites are determined to stand by him in this last assault, and allow the old Negro reactionaries whom he has attacked to continue in their course. The question having been raised, regarding the propriety of Prof. Thomas' participation in the meeting, the matter was laid before Dr. John Van Schatak, president of the board of education. He said: "I do not believe the board has a right to dictate to a teacher regarding his or her personal activities outside school hours, school buildings or school affairs, so long as these activities are not immoral. I have not seen accounts of the meeting in the morning papers, but from what has just been told me, it seems that in the circumstances the board can do nothing, as the meeting was not held in a of school building."

TERRELL Defended By a Well-known Washing ton, D. C. Correspondent of Race Papers. Washington, D. C., Jan. 20, '20. My dear Mr. Smith, "In your issue of Jan. 17, 1920, prominence was given to an article directed against Judge Robert H. Terrell of this city, under the caption, "A Racial Liability," by Neval H. Thomas. Judge Terrell's connection with the defunct Capital Savings bank is used against him. This matter was thoroughly investigated by Congress when Judge Terrell name first came up for confirmation, and the printed reports of Congress have published to the world the fact that he was exonerated of the faintest shadow of misconduct. He was appointed that Judge Terrell paid the last dollar of his obligations, voluntarily, and at a loss to himself. One item alone-amounted to $2500, which was advanced to cover endorsements of other people, and of which the Judge never received a single dollar in return, as the records of Congress will show. Judge Terrell does not agitate. His methods are characterized by a dignity that shuns the line-light. As to the other charges, Mr. Thomas seems to fail to recognize that certain ethics and department are inappropriate from the dignity of the judge. The congressional organization of this republic is divided into three (3) distinct branches—legislative, executive and judicial—and every official must keep within the limitations of his particular Judge Terrell belongs to the judicial branch, and therefore must keep within the function of the interpretation of the law. Judge Terrell has always so conducted his public actions upon to administer. These are reasons with the face of the success in the enthusiastic approval of his own race and the respect of all races. Judge Terrell has ever been a conscientious worker for the advancement and well-being of his race, but too wise and far-scoring to attempt measures obviously certain to be ineffective. Whoever heard a judge lobbying in Congress? Yet there are those who would have him do it. If Judge Terrell were merely the tool of white men, they would use him as such—which they do not. They would put and tolerate him, but not respect him. The fact is they do respect him because they cannot help it, and as for his high place in the esteem and affection of his own race, it is too well-known to justify space. Few living men, indeed, have done more by far-reaching and effective methods, to promote the well-being of the race than he. His influence and efforts are always at the command of the race in all projects where effective results are possible. He has secured positions for greater numbers of his race than any other man in local public life. These facts are well known in the case of Sir Sturton. Stop Flogging of Women Stop Flogging of Women Atlanta, Ga.-Whipping of women at the city stockade has been ordered discontinued entirely by the prison committee of the Atlanta city council after a public hearing of charges brought by the Atlanta Humane Society that women (mostly colored) had been strapped to a contrivance resembling a chair and flogged. A committee was appointed to investigate the practicability of discontinuing flogging of male prisoners, nearly all of whom are colored. Inmates of the city stockade are persons "convicted" in police court. Coal oil 17 cents a gallon at any of the auto stations.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Would Ruin Our Newspapers and Stop Those Fighting for the Race's Rights and The federal administration through its department of justice (?) has been attempting to connect colored people with "Redism" in this country. It has succeeded in making some people believe that colored people are attempting to help overthrow this government. No one in the Department of Justice really believes this, but here is an insidious attempt to lay hands on the colored men who are fighting, not against the government and against the southern machine that is again attempting to enslave colored people. Because colored men everywhere are fighting against "southern diabolism" the present administration is seeking to divert public attention from the lawlessness of the south and fix it upon colored people whom they are branding as "reds." The sedition bill aims at crushing every colored man of manhood who fights the southern regime, as to continue the reign of terror among ignorant and helpless colored men of the south and frighten them into submission to the will of southern legislation every colored newspaper that Burleson thinks is hurting the warren of business in the south will be put out of business. Every outspoken colored man will be watched and hounded by the southern crackers, in this Department of Injustice, and upon the least provocation he will be thrown into prison and made to suffer as a warning to others. In spite of all bills that may be passed and in spite of all of the "worse than reds" in that Department of Justice, colored men possessing manhood are going to speak their minds about this government which they fought against, while they are loyal. No decent colored man is loyal to the present administration which is "jim-crowning" colored people at every hand. No self-respecting colored man will lend his support to a southern regime which happens now to have hold of the federal government. This wicked and incompetent horde of Negro-haters will scruple at nothing to humiliate decent colored people. The fact that they are lynching, whenever they please, any colored man they desire and nothing is being done NEW TRIAL FOR ELAINE RIOTERS Slays of Execution Granted and Cases Up to Survival Defense - Defense Fund Opened Little Rock, Ark.—Several days ago, leading Negroes from all parts of the state assembled here and organized the CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COMMISSION: Dr. J. G. Thornton chair; J. H. McConico, see; Dr. H. W. Suggs, treas; Rev. J. P. Robinson and Rev. R. M. Caver. The object of the commission is to raise funds to conduct the defense of the 87 Negroes "convicted" in connection with the recent race trouble in Phillips county, Ark. which are well established citizens of wide acquaintance and represent the very highest type of spiritual, professional and business activity. Twelve of the Negroes "convicted" in connection with the Phillips county trouble have been sentenced to die and 75 to serve sentences in the penitentiary ranging from five to twenty-one years. Negroes throughout the state and nation feel that they should be given full opportunity to prove their innocence, and counsel have been employed in the fight against the motion was filed in the Phillips County Circuit Court for a new trial. It was overruled. On Jan. 9 an appeal was taken to the Supreme court for a new trial. Every effort will be made to defend the rights of these men in the state and federal courts. To fight these cases will require a large sum of money, and the CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COMMISSION is now calling upon Negroes to contribute to this fund. In this matter the race must act, and act at once. Contributions should be made and remitted promptly in order that the progress of the defense be not handicapped for lack of funds. J. H. McConico, Sec. Box 112, Little Rock, Aik. Five of the Negroes were to have been electrocuted January 27, and the date for the execution of the seven others was fixed for February 2. Gov.

The Department of Justice can seek out every red that may speak red, or send a bomb to some federal or make a speech that amputates "friends of the south" not to send bombs but death to as many colored citizens as they choose, and for their dastardly meanness this bill gives them not only immunity but encouragement. The Department of Justice knows all about the lynching of colored men but they are powerless because of states' rights to act, but it can go into any state without regard to state rights and pound upon any one that opposes their injustice. There will be no let until this incubus and travesty on decent government is enacted. Americans are like their places.

Mr. Gompers has done the nation a service by exposing the attempt in this bill to prevent organizing colored people. The south has stained the proceeds of Negro so long till it is ready to die before it will give it up. It must die then because the strangle-hold it has upon Negro labor will be loosed. Before this bill becomes a law it should be understood that it will not interfere with any rights of any American citizens and neither shall it be used as a blind to strengthen the hands of a party that protects lynching in order to hold its sway. The hypocritical claims that this bill will break the test of investigation. If Negroes had laid down in the Washington and Chicago race riots, they would not have been mentioned. We shall never lie down. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. to the court it is expected that a date for the hearing on oral argument will be announced. Should the Supreme Court affirm the decisions of the lower court, the court will announce to the date of their execution, unless he should commute their sentences to terms in the penitentiary.—Arkansas Gazette, Jan. 19, 1920. DUNBAR LITERARY SOCIETY Resolutions Relative to Central Ave. Street Car Service. At a meeting of the Dunbar Literary Society, Jan. 20, '20, at Shiloh Baptist church, E. 30th St., the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered published: RESOLUTIONS Whereens, the poor service and cars of the Central Ave. Street-Car line of the Cleveland Electric Railway has made efforts to travel or that line almost unbearable, and. Whereens, the running schedules of many of the car-lines of the city have been materially improved in recent months while the service on the Central Ave. line seems to be growing worse than it was. Resolved, that we, citizens of Cleveland, members of the Dunbar Literary Society of Shiloh Baptist church and friends, 100 per cent Americans, patrons of the Central Ave. Street-Car line, protest against its miserably poor service and cars we are forced to use and urge the proper authorities to remedy the condition complained of at once.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1920 To our friend, Judge Robert H. Terrell, we would say, broaden your views as to what you should do, as a judge, for our suffering people of Washington, D. C. Thanks to the many friends who helped so materially to make Wednesday, the editor's birthday, such a very pleasant one. Yes, we were sweet twenty-one (and then some) that day. Congratulations! Mrs. Beatrice Cannady, associate editor of the Portland (Ore.) Advocate, on making the Portland Times retract and pay for its libelous and slanderous statements. Good work! We are in a position to fully appreciate your position while the civil and criminal suits against the Times were pending, having had, some months ago, a similar experience with the exception that our civil suit (for $10,000 damages) against the Western Newspaper Union, Ormond Forte and Chas. H. C. Hrabble is still pending but will be tried soon now. Our criminal suits against the last two named were won and there will be a third whenever a former manager of the W. N. U. returns to Cleveland and we can get service on him. The effort of Arkansas authorities to secure the extradition from Kansas of Robert L. Hill, president of the Farmers' and Household Union, of that state, who had to leave during the recent riots in order to save his life, ought to and doubtless will fail. We do not believe for a moment that Gov. Allen of Kansas will send Hill to certain death; for this would be the result of his giving him over to Arkansas authorities. Our people there were forced to strike back because of attacks of the mob, lynch-murderers, and have been sentenced to death in groups of five for doing so. No attempt whatever has been made to apprehend the members of the white mob, lynch-murderers. And this is in the United States—not Russia or Turkey. Good Lord, how long; O, how long! Senator Reed Smoot of Utah does not seem to understand that Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, D.C., has the solid backing of all local members of our race thrust this country in his effort to get justice for those of the race in that city. We are not socialists, anarchists or "reds"—simply one hundred per cent Americans who know their rights under the law and are demanding them in Washington and everywhere else in this great country of OURS. Open that U. S. Senate restaurant to ALL the people, Senator! Failure to do this—your clear duty to American citizens of color—helps to make socialists and the Lord knows what not. Give our veterans of the World War (as well as others at the Nation's Capital) a little of the democracy they fought for and "tasted" abroad and in the north of this country. Be a real American, Senator! Republican editors having made some comment on the course of the President and the Attorney General in compromising with men who had been classed as "criminals" in the coal strike case, several Democratic editors have sought to create prejudice by accusing the Republicans of calling the coal miners "criminals." But it was the President and the Attorney General who did the classifying—not the Republican editors. The President denounced the strike as not merely unjustifiable but "unlawful." Attorney General Palmer asserted that the acts came within the criminal law but explained that he preferred to proceed in the civil courts in a suit for injunction. We do not know of any Republican editor who has asserted that the miners were criminals. Many have called attention to the fact that the President compromised with men whom he had already denounced as criminals, and then praised them for their "patriotism." If the President found that he was in error in denouncing the miners as criminals, he could have apologized. If he was not in error, he should not have compromised. If the men were in fact criminals, how could he commend them for "patriotism" when they ceased being criminals in consideration of the terms he made with them? And if he felt that he must praise them as patriotic, after they had been on a strike, for two months, he should at least have said one good word in commendation of the men who didn't strike. NO CHANGE AT WILBERFORCE That is good news Representative Beetham sends The Gazette thru its Cadiz representative—"there is to be no change at Wilberforce." This is the decision of the joint committee of the Ohio senate and house of representatives that made the investigation recently and it is a very proper one. Its members were quick to see that all the "hullabaloo" kicked up in race newspapers by Ohio "junkers" (Negroes) was the result of petty jealousy and spite work. If conditions at the university needed attention there was a better way to go about securing it than appealing to the Ohio legislature. This Representative Beaty should have recognized and told the same trouble-makers, "junkers," that induced him (rather forced him, so he wrote The Gazette) to introduce the unnecessary and inimical Beaty bill intended to amend our Ohio Civil Rights law and practically ruin it. He should have refused to listen to them on both occasions and saved himself and the race from some very unpleasant experiences that are not going to prove helpful if not very harmful. By the Twenty-Ninth Annual Conference Held at Tuskegee—Lynching Deplored. Tuskegee, Ala.—Afro-Americans were called upon to profit by the lessons of industry and thrift so effectively taught during the war, in declarations adopted. Jan. 21, by the twenty-ninth annual conference here at Tuskegee institute. Our farmers in this section of the country were especially urged to grow sufficient food for their own needs, raise better livestock, and take advantage of the increased prices of farm products by building better schools, churches and homes. Lynching was deplored and its practice held as a secure for the present government in better and fairer methods of adjusting the differences between the races, and reaffirmed its opposition to alleged discrimination against Afro-Americans on common carriers. More than 1,700 persons attended the conference. Four Years for Stealing 6 Pennies Clarksville, W. Va.—Four years for stealing 6 cents, or one year for each of 1 1-2 cents.

The sentence indicates that fact. WASPS ATTACK UNPROVOKED Insects Quickly Detect And Resent Presence Of Unfamiliar Objects. NEW YORK—Persons returning from outings in the nearby country sometimes bring back tales of encounters with wasps which have attacked and stung them without provocation. These wasps were met in unexpected places. They have found them hidden in the petals of flowers, in holes in the ground, in stumps of old trees and in decaying fruit, and not infrequently they have felt their needlelike sting before they were scarcely aware of their presence. Herbert B. Baldwin, assistant curator of museums at the American Museum, has had much experience with wasps, having hunted them in this country and in Africa for scientific purposes. Wasps, he said, frequently attack persons without apparent provocation. They have a strange sense of locality, and as soon as they encounter something strange and unfamiliar they either attack it or go away. The two most prevalent kind of wasps here are the European wasp and the Yellow Jacket. The latter is the most formidable. Wasps build their nests sometimes in trees, at other times beneath the eaves of barns and dwellings. The peace of mind of more than one family has been disturbed by the discovery that an army of wasps has built its nest under their cottage roof. The wasps are not long in revealing their presence, for they have an uncomfortable way of flying into an open window. They do no do this in numbers, but the housewife going about her duties encounters a stray wasp now and then, and an investigation usually discloses a wasp's nest under the roof a few feet away from father's or daughter's window. There are several ways of getting rid of them. One way is to get a long pole—a couple of poles—gather together to get the required length will usually do—and then prod and disuse the nest from the safety of a window. Another way is to soak a torch on the end of the pole with oil, and thus destroy the nest. Care must be taken to see that the nest is completely removed, if the wasps are to be got rid of altogether. Of course in ridding a barn or dwelling of wasps a person runs the risk of being badly stung, and it is a delicate operation that is best undertaken by those who have had experience in the work. Wasps occasionally frequent dirt tennis courts to the annoyance of the players. A few years ago in Southern New Jersey there was a real pest of such wasps. A tennis player in the act of making a delicate stroke would be stung by one of these creatures and his play would be spoiled. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO. JANUARY 31. 1920 WIRELESS TELEPHONY FOR AIRCRAFTS. The Value Of This Invention Recently Demonstrated. IN FLIGHT TO PARIS. SPEECH FROM THE MACHINE Could BE CLEARLY HEARD FROM A DISTANCE OF 35 MILES. LONDON, England—The extraordinary value of wireless telephony for directional purposes in connection with aircraft has been emphasized recently in its relation to night flying. It often happens that in daylight intercommunication between planes, or between wireless stations and aircraft is unnecessary, but in flying across country at night the use of the wireless phone will become more and more efficacious. Some details are now available of a test carried out during a recent night flight from Kenley to Paris. This in no way constitutes a record, but is nevertheless interesting as indicating what is being done as a matter of routine. Wireless telephony has now been definitely adopted as a means of ground to air communication and vice versa, on the London-Paris route, and the test in question was made with one of the first machines on this service fitted for the purpose. Communication was opened as soon as the Handley Page had obtained height and, after speaking to the ground station, the receiver was turned in and speech was very clearly heard from Kenley. The officer conducting the test emphasizes in his report, speech, quality, and strength, and states that he easily recognized the voice as that of an officer known to him. To a distance of about 35 miles the strength of signals was the greatest that she heard at Kenley with the receiver laid upon the table. At 50 miles it was still distinct and constant and was heard until the aeroplane was crossing the channel and was in touch with Marquise, the first ground station on the French side. On the return journey conversation between the macchine and Marquise was again picked up at Kenley, and the latter station itself was in communication with the machine 30 minutes before it landed. One of the recent developments in this connection is the production of an aeroplane set which can be converted within a few moments for transmission of either voice or Morse signals. SUN BATHS CURE DISEASES Danish Physician Says White Sunlight Heals In Some Cases, It Has Bad Effects In Others. COPENHAGEN—A young Danish physician, Dr. Haxthausen, on the staff of the National Hospital, copies the results of some new experiments concerning the effects of sunbeams on human health. Dr. Finsen's discovery of the healing effects of sunshine in cases of lupus, and Dr. Reyn's statements concerning the surprising effects in tuberculosis treatment, have created a widespread popular belief in Scandinavia in the curative power of sunlight acting on the bare skin. In consequence all Danish bathing places are filled with people who after a short dip, doze for hours in the sun. Dr. Haxthausen now states that sunlight has had bad effects in many cases, and is often the original cause of skin disease, especially epithelium cancer (cancer of the skin or mucous membrane). Protection against light, he says, should be part of the treatment in this disease. People of fair complexion are more liable to the disease than brunettes, and should be careful to wear hats and gloves. Veils are of no use. THEATRE ON MOTOR LORRY LONDON—An enterprising impresario here has a scheme for developing the interest of the countryside in things dramatic by touring with a theatre built on a motor lover. He hopes, by availing himself of modern improvements in motors and roadmaking, to supply the country folk with a type of enjoyment long withheld from them. His idea, while novel in its way, bears striking resemblance to the perambulating stages on which the guilds presented their mysteries. Each guild trundled its stage from point to point, placing its section of the mystery to the streets and squares, closely followed by the next guild with its own stage and its own section of the play. But this annual event was in "the good old times," and had even Shakespeare wrote and had his plays produced on the primitive fixed stage or in the inn-yard. MILLIONAIRE IN CHORUS. BOSTON—Here's the latest, a millionaire chorus man found in Boston. Philip Bruce, son of a prominent Brookline family, heir to a fortune, is working as one of the "handsome strangers" in a sextet at a local theatre for $25 a week and for the sake of art and experiences. Although "stage struck" from his youth, Bruce had never found an opportunity to go on the stage. Finally he applied to a local theatre manager for a job in the chorus. Bruce was a millionaire the manager hired him as a chorus man at $25 a week. Bruce is married and resides with his wife and son in the Back Bay. He spends his salary buying tickets for the show for his friends.

"THINK AS A MAN" Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American. Think as a man. Dr. Frank Crane. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours—George W. Blount. A. PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight. And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes co-wards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our /less disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. * * * People who sell Goods Can make Money. * * * The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write also, their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies. Unless this latter is done, proper credit cannot be given you. Lists of names, wedding presents, etc., obituary notices, inquiries for relatives and advertisements of all kinds, including items announcing entertainments to be held in the near future, must be paid for in advance at the rate of 20 cents a line, six words to a line. Our rates for display advertisements will be sent on application. --- OUR NEW HOME PORD COLLEGE PENDLETON AVE. ST.

Special to The Gazette The violence committed by Mexico upon the persons, property and liberty of American citizens has been shocking. The course pursued by the present Administration in the light of these atrocities, has been and is unatisfactory to the American people. Mr. Nelson's policy is in keeping with his attitude toward the south. The Administration is not at all concerned with the Nynchon revoltings, burnings and violent oppression heaped upon colored Americans by the Democratic party of the south. The south has driven every other party by force and ostracism out of the south. It has by unlawful combination and disregard of law, made the M. B. Dr. William A. Byrd life of men unbearable who advocate justice for the colored race or contend for the protection of the Republican party or any other party that does not adopt the foolish "social system of the south." The country is not taken seriously and will not be, until we establish law in the south.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from one of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162. 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any juror him, until such children of legal age were bracted to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 8) Section 6282. The person suffering from Don't Throw It to a Frier American citizens. Strangely enough the Americans that are being mobbed by Mexicans are chiefly those who have murdered colored people for the last fifty years. Texas is the leader in its desire to punish Mexico but Texas is also the leader in its destruction of the lives and property of colored people. White men if they seek justice for colored people in Texas are not safe and may be assaulted by judges and constables and run out of town. The Administration has left the south to itself. The South is above aw. The Constitution of the federal Government is not even a "rag" there for it has been altogether destroyed. The election machinery of the south is the backbone of lawlessness in America. The continued allowance of this violence at the hands of Mexico is a just retribution for the vicious assaults of southern whites upon colored people. Mexico is not hostile toward colored people but it is toward that arrogant and lawless white southerner that depends upon force to enable him to do as he pleases. This Administration would have to demand a change in the policy of the south before it could ask Carranza to change his policy. There may be something good in this policy, but it is worse. It is sowing daily in the fields of humiliated people. Negro soldiers are loyal and will fight any nation that menaces America but if Negro soldiers could protect America and leave the south to the Hun whether it is the German Hun or Mexican Hun, he would do so. If the Negro soldier could protect every other portion of America and allow some strong just hand to go down in "Dixie" and wipe out the savages that disgrace the whole nation, the majority of them would sit by and see the fur fly. This strange situation is not a result of the policy due to the policy of brutality the south shows toward colored people and especially colored soldiers. Nine colored soldiers have been murdered by white thugs and savages, and yet there is no power in America, save the turning of the Negro upon them and giving what they receive, to stop this. The Administration is wrong. It should force the south to obey the constitution here and then send a united and loving people down to clean up the Mexican hole. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.
