Attorney General
Jefferson City, Mo.
Dear Sir:
I have been axked by some of our
readers who reside in Missouri for an
epinien concerning the murder ef
aries E. Myers, who was killed hy
a police officer (Jack Wills), August,
13th, 1922 :
The citizens said this was a deli-
berate murder and outragcous, this
peng, the second Colored man killed
by this officer, The County Attorney
of Fayette Mo., refused to issue a
warrant for the arrest of this officer,
We informed our correspondent that
it was within the power of the At-
torney General of Missouri to issue
such & warrant out in case the County
Attorney fails to do sworn duty, This
community seems to be dominated by
a certain class of white pcople who
do not believe that a Colored man
should have an equal right at law or
justice when it comes to the white
Face.
We would like to know if you would
use your good office ia investigating
this matter and have this officer, ar-
rested. The honest, upnght consious
Colcred pre believe in fair play.
We nash this in the name of “Fair
Play” and ‘Justice’ for Colored peop's
of that county and state. Our or
ganizaticr, the Kansas Defense Se-
ciety, ninhes it it’s Indespcneble duty
to ive to it that the attentin of the
Pubbe officers at large be caljed to
Pal} such outremes in such a communi.

Dear Sir: -
Under Missouri laws the Attorney:
General does not share ihe ioarers ot
the prosecuting attorney. Your Iet-
ter of yesterday says that you advise I
certain citizens of Missouri that the
Attorney-General could issue a wn:
rant in case the county attorney fails
to do so. That is anerror. It would
require express direction by the Gover
nor before any such power woud be
in the Attorney-General’s hands.
On the contrary, the Missourl law
Provides abundant means for. local
Proceedings which gives all citizers
the right to take care of their interest
Any citizen can swear a warrant Upon
Which on information will be filed.
Any citizen may also employ a special
Prosecutor, Any citizen may also file
an aMdayit charging a prosecuting
attorney with neglect of duty and
thereby secure a jury trial as to re

Voters Should Give
Sprcul Large Majority
In the first place, my great grand:
father was an active soldier tn the
Revclutionnary War to seeue the ir.
jlebendence of thiscountry fom Gacit
Lritain and to secure equal rights amd
cqual libeaty for the people,
| In the second place, my own father
pent three and one-half years in the
|Cisil War to maintain ‘the Umited
States government and to secure thy
‘qual liberties of the Colored race,
"In the third place, the Republican
pare which is precy. m the
North, has always boen the best friend
lof the Colored people, The Republe
can Party Council at Topeka piusved
a resolution endorsing the Dyer Anti-
jIynching bill and Mr. Sproul was one
of that Council, He has been making
‘strong sPeeches during his entire cam
paign, advocating equal rights and
equal ‘liberties for all the people, and
[the Colored pecplo everywhere expeci
ally have betn enjoying this part of
his speeches, There is every reacun
to beheve, and expect Mr, Eprecl, if
lected to Congress, to atand up for
the rights of the Colored people in
every way,
On the other hand, the great majori-
ty of the Democratic Party is in the
South and should the Democrats ever

South will be in Control. If Mr.’
Stephens were elected (but he won't
be) he would have to work with the:
Democrats of the South who will te,
opposni to the Dyer Anti lynching hill,
and who will always be unfair to the
Colored race, There ix no renson
whatever why W, H. Sproul should
not receive the hearty support anil|
endorsement of all the Colored voters
in the Third Congrgssional District. |

One of the accusations made against our race generally is that we are not accurate. Now here comes The Detroit Leader justifying that accusation. In the column called "Pick ups" The Tapela Plaundaler is called "Clainder." We have heard your paper called all kinds of names but never before have we heard it referred to as "Clainder."
We seldom agree with the thoughts expressed in the editorials of the Chicago Whip, but we don't feel that we have the time to write out our contradictions. The Daily Sentinel (Richmond, Va.) takes the whip in hand and proceeds to give The Whip a sound lacing. The whole thing is anent the failure of the Roddy stores in Memphis some time ago. Says the Sentinel:
"Yes, suppose the United States Chamber of Commerce had to finance every defunct business enterprise among the white people, how long do you think that the Chamber would last? The Business League was never conceived to finance business enterprises and that is entirely out of its line of service. Evidently The Whip is ignorant of the principles of business leagues and chambers of commerce. But even at that, Mr. Roddy is at the head of the Solvent Savings Bank with resources of over a million dollars; and if its name means any thing, why could not, if the stores were solvent, get the bank behind his stories?"
After conveying the idea that the bank did not consider the stores solvent, The Sentinel goes on: "There is a deeper reason to the failure than that, and if The Chicago thin will look under the surface it will find bad management from the INSIDE; but it is unfair to try to

"The Chicago Whip, apropos of the failure of Bert Roddy's chain of grocery stores in Memphis, wants to know why the National Negro Business League did not go to Mr. Roddy's rescue, and comments on the commercial disaster of the failure of fifteen grocery stores in this wise:
"He (Roddy) was an ardent supporter of Major Moton and the National Negro Business League, yet when the hour of need came and heavy business depression came upon his institution Major Moton and the Business League were powerless to come to his rescue. Suppose a reserve fund had been established, the Roddy stores would still be the pride of the black people."

When The New Age and The Western Dispatch combined for the declared and avowed purpose of giving Los Angeles and vicinity a better paper, most of the Race journals thrust out the country who noted the chance and improved appearance of the new combination, hauled this combination with that good fellowship which exists among members of the Fourth Estate. The California Eagle, said to be the largest Negro journal published on the Pacific coast saw fit to hand the new combination a slam. "The clean cut appearance and the fact that it is full of dvertisements all as news mean anything, The New Age-Dispatch may yet prove to be a thorn in The Eagle's side.

Major Moton, Principal of Tuskegee, who is at present in Europe, primarily to address a large church convention, and incidentally to lay before Europeans facts concerning the Negro in America, is sure to arouse the anger of the younger element of the Race and especially that of the radical element by his utterances. Already The Star of Zion (Charlotte, N. C) has taken exception to some of the statements contained in his first address. That Major Moton represents the views of the white friends of industrial education, and those Colored men and women who think our only salvation lies in the humble submission to those views, there can be no doubt. But on the other hand we can safely say that he does not represent in any sense the vast majority of Colored men between the ages of 21 and 35. This is especially evident when one considers that the Star of Zion is conservative.
Now comes a wall from Boston and other northern points where Negroes are supposed to be on absolute terms with the whites, moaning the fact that a large Y, M. C. A. building for Negroes has been opened in Pittsburgh Pa. It is advocating Jim crowism, they say. To our mind all such statements may be classed as pure unadulterated tommyrot. Communitio in which there are no institutions distinctly Negro, are the least progressive so far as Negroes are concerned in America. What the Negro needs most is a large number of institutions which teach and advocate race consciousness, that is, a consciousness which makes him feel superior to other races instead of feeling inferior. We believe that anything a Negro does is done better than any white man. When we are accepted on equal terms where we merit it, we say let's beggata them.
Don't you think that it is time our Colored teachers, preachers and other leaders beginning to impress upon the persons whose lives they are helping to shape that our race is a great one, and without any anologies for our supposed shortcomings? When we begin to feel that way and act it, our imaginary wrongs will not be nearly so numerous. We are the only race which looks up to any other race, and it is time we are reversing this action and begin to look down on others.
"The poor overworked operator" who is responsible for the tyography of the Southern Indicator (Columbia S. C.) wonders "why some of our respondents won't take time and write so we can understand it." That same thing has been puzzling us for nearly seventeen years. In the same book the editor who is probably not a minor blames the appearance of his insistence on the pressman. We are willing to bet you (and we sell them) that this maligned workman is expected to get perfect results from an antipuncted, crippled machine, and that he gets just about one half the standard wages a man in his position is supposed to receive. The blime we think lies with the owner and not the employee. I lay off a hard working printer. Grether Reach.

Congressman Dan. R. Anthony of the first district is sure of election by a large majority. Congressman Anthony has done much good for the state of Kansas and the nation at large.

Aside from being an ardent advocate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, he is still working with might and main to secure the release of the colored soldiers who were convicted of rioting. If you have your race and country at heart vote for Dan R. Anthony for re-election to Congress.
