X NO. 40 Under Influence Of/Speeches Being Made In Opposition To Anti-Lynching Bill, Desire For Negro's Blood At Home Takes On A New Life While Congress silic..... While Congress still ally-dallys over the passage of the anti-lynch-mill which is being held up by the southern representatives, the lovers of the law, the lynchings continue to endulge in their peril. The speeches made by those southerners in the House advocating and defending lynching have reflected its influence on the white people at home, and the desire for Negro blood has taken on new life. Florida Mob Lynches Negro According to press dispatches a mob of several thousand participants in a lynching at Mayo, Fla., on Jan. 18. Not a Case of Rape The charge of rape did not enter this case. It is said that one, Will Harris, colored, shot, and mortally wounded one W. R. Taylor, a mail carrier, whom alleged wore to the police on Saturday in a quest of "white mule" and when he refused to furnish treue honor, a quarrel ensued and during the altercation, Taylor was shot.

If for protection that he might have a trial and a chance to defend himself before the law. Sheriff Turus Presser Over to Mob On a pretext of hiding his prisoner from the mob, the sheriff kept Will Harris away from the county jail until a mob had been organized and everything ready for the "turn over." then brought its prisoner from the jail over to the mob of several hundred. Holiday Gala Affair The news of the capture of the vietnam spread quickly throughout the community and a general holiday was taken in celebrating the lynching so as many as possible could take part. When once in the hands of the mob, the vietnam was dragged through the streets and hanged to a telegraph pole nearby the heart of the city, while the clanging form was suspended in the air, the body was riddled with bullets fired by members of the mob. No arrests were made by the sheriff who claim he could not identify any Harris was known as a "boofergler" and was known to have enemies among those whom he was not willing to serve. OPPOSITION AGAINST ANTI-LYNCHING BILL, IS GROWING IN THE HOUSE Democrats Aided in Fight on Measure by Republican Who Questions Constitutionality. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. —House Democrats were aided yesterday in their fight against the Dyer antitheching bill" by Representative Reavis, Republican National Whose declarer said that someone members of Congress sworn to unhold the Constitution were ready to wash it". He urged defeat of the bill, asserting the passage would be an unconstitutional usurpation of power by the Federal Government. All afternoon the bill, carrying heavy penalties for persons participating in lynchings—and for officials who fall through negligence to prevent them, was alternately commended and attacked. Representative Buriba, Republican of Ohio, declaring that lynching was the darkest blot on an otherwise splendid civilization asserted there was o' a crime to touch it could be conceived in municipality. Representative Sanders, Republican of Indiana, had declared there was no question as to the authority of Congress to deal with the question, 'Representative Montague, Democrate, of Virginia, attacked the bill on constitutional grounds. Later Representative Dallinger, Republican, of Massachusetts, advocating enactment of a drastic, antitrueaching bill, said he could not understand why members of, Congress, so sure that the Supreme Court would immediately declare the Pyer measure, if enacted, unconstitutional; were wigging such a determined fight against it.

Mr. McWood Street Executive Summary of the Central Society of Social Sciences will speak at this meeting. The St. Louis Argus SUMNERS OF TEXAS BITTERLY ATTACKS THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL In last week's issue of The Argus, the complete argument of Congressman L. C. Dyer in favor of the Anti-Lynching bill was published. The following is the reply in opposition, made by Congressman Summers of Texas. Summers of Texas Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. I assume that there is no difference of opinion among men representing the different sections of the country in reference to the fact that nobody can defend, a crime which must be suppressed. The question is how best to proceed to do the thing that ought to be done. Before beginning a discussion of this bill I want to challenge the slanders which have been heaped upon the South by a lot of these hired Negro agitators and white negroes that have been going over the country falsely representing my people. I received the other day a statement from the Tuscarawas that have just taken his seat quoted practically all of his statistics and gave practically all his information, from that source. Under the date, of December 31, 1921, they sent not broad, cast; with release for publication, dated January 1. "The lynch record for 1921," from which I quote, "there were 63 persons lynched in 1921. Of these 62 were in the South and one in the North." I do not know how I happened to hit his out, but the Washing-ton police, out of the 1921 state, under these headlines, which I quote: "Negroes hanged by mob in Duluth; 5000 size prisoners at police headquarters; troops ordered out. Attack on young, white girl ruses crowd's fury." These Negroes were connected with a circus. They took a white girl into the circus grounds and ravished her. This Duluth. Minn. mob bring them all to a telephone pole in the middle of the city, where we are told that one person was lynched in the entire North during the year 1921. The gentleman who has just taken his seat told you of a killing in East St. Louis of 100 people at one time. That is the sort of thing we are afraid of: We people who believe we understand the situation are convinced that you meer are fixing to cut the cord that holds in teach the passion of race conflict in the South and bring South people to tragedy as that of East. Lots of people, as most as many people were killed in that one city in one riot as are killed in the entire South by mobs in two years. Mr. MONDELL. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. MONDELL. Do I understand it to be the gentleman's position that in order to keep down Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Just for a question. Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. Sif down and I will make you understand it. It is a hard job, but I can do it. Here is what I mean. Listen, to me Look at me and let me talk to you. I mean this; I mean that nobody on this earth can protect the black man who is in danger of mob violence exerted by the police, the very time of the danger. I mean that if the Federal Government interposes it spower, assumes responsibility now borne entirely by the people, so that the man on the ground will feel it is not his duty to protect, but that the Federal Government has stepped in to help them then you are likely to turn loose the passions of race conflict in that community. Let me tell you something. Suppose this other thing happens—and, you can do it under this bill—suppose that a black man takes a little white child and drag her off into seclusion where no voice can hear and no hand can help, and raps that child, and the father of that child and the brothers of the child come up on him and kill him—and the Federal Government takes them away in the face of public sentiment and places them in the Federal penitentiary, and then has a tax of $10,600 levied against, the county for the benefit of the rapist's family, a part of which som might go to be that family an autobiography by the home of the inmates' detm, by the sense of common sense with such a policy) you could long priere a condition! in that country like those which developed in East St. Louis, Omaha, and Chicago? Mr. MONDELL, What about—— Mr. SUNNERS of Texas, I regret I can yield no further. Gentlemen, I want to discuss this bill somewhat in order, and I would like not to be interrupted. In order to save as much time as possible I had transcribed the quotations which I expect to refer to in the volumes which I have on the table. Published In The Interest Of Colored People COL.

Presence of White Members In Secret Society May Cause It To Be Outlawed INDIANAPOEIS, Ind, Jan. 13 The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority which, held its annual session here recently throw a bombshell into the midst of the, colored Greek letter fraternities by announcing several white women as honorary members. The Alpha Kappa Alpha's is the first and oldest organization among colored college women and was organized at Howard University thirteen years ago. Its white honorary minneers-announced are: Jane Addams, a white social worker in Chicago, and Mary Darkee, wife of the President of Howard University. She wrote college Greek letter fraternities and other societies with more or less of a racial as well as enducational program. Its action has aroused bitterness and hostility in college circles. It is said to be the first time that any college secret organization of this type has taken in a white person. Lines on the other side are just as tightly drawn in the Greek letter societies of big white colleges who have always refused to take in colored members. There have announced that they will take up action with other fraternities during the year and recommend that the Alpha Kappa Alpha withdraw their memberships offered to white people or be outlawed from the colored fraternal world.

MARCUS GARVEY ARRESTED BY THE FEDERAL AGENTS Head Of Black Star Line Charged With Fraudulent Representations And With Selling Passage To Africa On Fake Steamship. NEW YORK, Jan. 17—(Special) Marcus Garvey, president of the Black Star Line, was arrested here Thursday afternoon charged with selling passage on a non-existent steemship and of making fraudulent representations to forward sales of Black Star Line stock and to enlist membership in the L. A. of which he is President-Governor of the Black Star Line charge too, that he used the steemship to defraud in disposing of stock in the Black Star Line. Garvey was arrested at his home in a snail apartment house in West 129th street, by Post Office Inspector and agents of the Department of Justice, and from there marched up Leibox Avenue to the Black Star Office at 56-135th St., where several books and documents were seized by the United States agents. His purityibly held documents and an ornamental came dangling from his arm, he was taken before Commissioner Hitchcock and released in $2,500 best pending a hearing on January 10. A number of the officials of the Black Star Line and 'Negro World' were suspended by the Post Office Inspectors. It is also, rumored *that there will be a number of other arrests of Black Star officials of all men prominent in the affairs of the U. N. I. A., both in its armed corporations, newspaper, and I. K. proper. One of the most ill-told stories is an oped against certain members of the staff of 'The Negro World' will be for attempting in meeting articles to inflame the ignorant minds of the more fanatic of their followers to the end of bringing about the assassination of prominent men opposed to the Garvey plan of liberating Africa by hot-air oratory and questionable schemes. There are also rumors in the wind to the effect that Garvey has recently transferred his private bank account from the Royal Bank of Canada to its Jamaican (B. W. I. branch). In this rumor, Garvey faced the fact that he had borne his sister and her husband on Jan. 25. Garvey is a native of Jamaica, B. W. I. Rumors have been in the air for a long time concerning his arrest and he is said to have twice fainted in his office lately. HARRY HAWES' ATTACK ON NEGROES RESENTED BY ST.

Hawes was to make in the House of Representatives last Tuesday, many St. Louisans sent protest to Mr. Hawes condemning his actions. Mitchell, Editor of the Argus appeared before the St. Louis A. M. E. Ministerial Alliance and brought the effects of Hawes contemplated speech forbly to their attention.

INFERIORITY OF BLACK RACE IS ABSURD LEGEND SAYS FRENCH GENERAL The. Associated Negro Press The Associated Negro Press PARIS, France, Jan 18—"An end must be put to the third, legend of the blacks." Of the blacks is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races." So declares Gen. Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the cause of the blacks, following the winning the Goncourt literary prize the Martineau writer, Hene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and armie- her colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of a populated Germany. Thus, he DR. T.J. MOPPINS NOTED SCHOLAR NEGRO APPOINTED CONDEMNS MOB TO ADDRESS THE A CIVIL SERVICE LAW IN SERMON CITIZENS HERE COMMISSIONER OF Pasfor Of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church Says Civilization Which Depends Upon Blood Of The Weaker For Existence Is Doomed Already. BRUTE FORCE IS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS Last Sunday was a successful day at Metropolitan Church, Pastor Moppins preached morning and evening, 11:00 a.m. m. "The Still Small Voice" was the subject, 8:00 p.m. m. "Excuses." At the close of the morning sermon, Dr. Moppins made some observations of conditions in St. Louis as they affect our group also. As we have seen, the most important certain daily papers are taken in their support of mob violence and murder in this country. "All along" he said, "we were lead to believe that the so-called leading papers of this State and City were at heart against mourn murder; we believed until recently that the American white people could be depended upon to approve any mourn, legally." The most barbarous practices practiced in any civilized country on the earth; we are shocked with a direct appeal to brute force, based on race prejudice in the general discussion now going on in Congress. "We are told by the Representatives opposing the anti-lynchman, backed by certain newspapers in St. Louis and others, to undertake to defend the life and property of law-abiding citizens from lawless murder, that it would be the cause of a" more wholesale slaughter of our people by the mob, backed by the officers and public sentiment in the States. "We then ask the significant question: Are we to understand that there is a concerted effort among the white people to halt the progress of the crime? Are we to understand that so far as America is concerned it matters little whether it be called a land of plunder and blood? After shamefully debauching our women and murdering our men for the past twenty-five years, they came to face with the government" at who alone has the authority to take action in such a manner through their Representatives in Congress, ask after him the question of the demon: "Why Come to Torment Us Before the Time?" The sudden breakdown of 'the Anglo Saxon civilization' is the amazement of mankind; it looks as if the Negro is safe only when he is out of his own country. We may conclude with the full understanding that a civilization that depends for its safety and perpetuity upon the blood of the slain, is doomed already. It is only a matter of time. The brutal murder of a woman in Georgia. Crucified with feet up and head downward and helplessly held delicately of her unborn baby, has settled it with me so far as the distance to which this brute force will go with its programme of murder. Yet with all this, I am confident that God lives and is just. Unterrified and resolute, we must set our faces hard toward the right, and die if need be. Remembering we are not alone. We have friends.

Morton Honored By Democratic Mayor, Is One Of Board Of Three Municipal Guardians. ALDERMAN HARRIS HAS ALSO TAKEN HIS SEAT The Associated Negro Press — NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 18.—The biggest appointment of an able Colored citizen that has ever been made by a New York Mayor was that of Ferdinand L. Brown, commissioner of New York City. The appointment was a partial recognition of the tremendous black vote which Mr. Morton as chief of the United States, Colored Democracy had dined to Tammany. Hall at the last election and secondly by a deserved recognition that most able and popular Democrats regard of race in New York City. The appointment of Morton was to the place on the commission of the three guardians of the civil service held by Commissioner Killinen. The commission now coexists of Commissioner Kublan, Morton and Dressman, the last named a Republian. His appointment means a great step forward for the Colored citizens in New York and a larger place for them in the city employ.

So we have stocked all three lines of this well known Silverware.

COMMUNITY has a world-wide reputation for the beauty nad correctness of its patterns—COMMUNITY PLATE is used on the tables of such wealthy and socially prominent persons as Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Mrs. Honore Palmer, the Duchess of Malborough and the Duchess of Rutland.

Summerlea formerly of Helena has been called to the pastorate of aristocrat Bath Church. W. Stein St. B. St. Louis. January 4. This is a very safe and peaceful speech and the last place in her life. In memory of the Rev. Louis Joseph Washington, who entered into rest January 21, 1921. A king of men in glory departed, A light unto a soul with woe oppressed, Hath linked us with the true the jewel hearted, Who sparkle with a grandeur doubly blest. Is gone a fountain flood of inspiration, This pastor, mighty, shepherd of our town; is gone that voice triumphant in a Nation When man or woman stood a known offender. When some a trust he'd given soon forsake it, And chase he wildest phantoms of delight; At morn his welcoming heart it seemed they'd reak it; Like fank or nightingale to poet sighting When all the world bows to but empty play; Like lovers overheared with souls pleading; He'd come, and sorrows fast would frisk away; Like April morn when we are tired of sleeping. The long, long weary nights of winter bold: Like vernal buds from coverlets just beeping. Life crystal streams that leap and snout forever. Like harmonies that tune a heart at sea. Like constar friends no winter wiid shell gover O tarré not so long with the eternal; Where not more forces nor prejudice will be. We suffer here the pangs of ill's diurnal. We need thy light; we grovel on the ground —By S. Herman Drer. Sadly missed by daughters, Mrs. E. Mays and the Misses Washington.

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL he been hard for St. Louis to make up to the face that the original "Smarer Sgt" company, headed by Salem Tutt, Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, is actually appearing at The Booker Washington Theatre. "Doubting Thomases" have spread all kinds of false tumors. People have been told that the real show could not play there. The big company of 35 picked star performers is at this theatre with all its embellishments, giving a two and one half hours show twice nightly 6:30 and 8:50 and daily matinee at 1 o'clock and its the underrated opinion of everyone who has been fortunate enough to see them. Messrs Whitney and Tutt have the best show and the most talented company they have ever presented in St. Louis. There are plenty of good sofas for everyone, and the stay-at-homes are There is much slitting of scenery in the two ages of "Up and down". Each of the twenty-three musical dance pumbers is a glossy and artistic gem in itself. Of course, the company may not be able to display all of its car-load of scenery; but happily this outfit is not depending upon scenery to gain admiration, its real talent that is winning this week. It is impossible, in this small space, to give credit to all deserving performers—The action of the play centers on two adventurers, with this Got-Rich-Quick" bee buzzing in their bonnies. In their attempt to round up the sheeches, by fair means or foul, they borrow a huge sum of money from wealthy oil man, lose it, and have to be for their lives. These characters are played by Whitney and Tutt. Amon Davis is the old man. They are the source of the fun and the audience is kept laughing. Whitney shows "an easier did more finished style of comedy than formerly. Tutt/is artistic in his scheming. and Amon Davis can be called the best old man character on the stage. The chorus is rich in voice, costumes, good looks and dancing. It would be hard to beat. J. Francis Mores and Edna Gibbs are the singing stars, and Jennie Daucy, a winsome soubrette. Other outstanding features are the all round character, work and dancing of Nat' Cash, the tenor singing and trumpet type of Abbeo son, the soprano of Bibbey the Calloway: Song and dance numbers by Alberta Jones, Judiia Moody, Marlton Bradford, and Vicka Mander; the classic viola ramps' led by Mr. Tutt, the saxophones, and many catchy song and spirightly dance effects by the company. In fact, the entire production, from beginning to end is a succession of delightful surprises. PES aaa ae ST LOUIS ARGUS. FRIDAY.

PINCHBACK Colored Man Once Chief Executive Of The State Of Louisiana, Was Picturesque Reconstruction Figure Maker Of History. The passing of ex-Senator Pinckney Beuton Stewart, Pinckney. Wednesday at his late home, 1341 U. street. N. W. at the age of 84 years, closes a long active life. Ex-Senator Pinckney was born May 10, 1837, while his mother was in tramp from Virginia to their home in Mississippi where his father was a planter. An interesting story told of him was that his master, on one occasion during one of the famous runs of the old Mississippi River steamboats, when hard drinking and high smoking were the rule, leaving lost everything else put him as a final stake. He too was lost, but the new master proved a Godsend, and started Pinchback on the road to fortune. In 1846 he entered Gilmore High School, Cincinnati, Ohio. From 1847 to 1852 he followed steamboating on the Red and Mississippi Rivers. August 18, 1882, Mr. Pinchback entered in the First Louisiana Volunteers. On October 12, 1882, he was made captain of Company A of the 22nd Regiment of the Louisiana Volunteers. After the war, May 22, 1885, he was appointed inspector of costumes at the port of New Orleans. On April 18, 1885 Pinchback was elected to the state statute of Louisiana. In 1889 he was appointed register of the land office in New Orleans. On December 25, 1870, Senator Cobb began the publication of the Louisiana," which he ran for eleven years. In November, 1872 Senator Pinchbeck became Lieut. Governor of the state of Louisiana. From December 6, 1872, to January 15th, 1873, he was actually Governor of Louisiana; therefore the title of "Governor" has exceeded his name more than "Senator." On January 15th, 1873 he was elected by the Legislature of Louisiana as United States Senator, and March 4, 1873 was sworn in for a term six years. Since then he has held a number of important positions. Gov. Cobb has made Washington his goal for the last thirty years. In "People of color in Louisiana and the following interesting account of his career. "As a figure during the Reconstruction Days of Louisiana ex-Gov. Pinchback was most conspicuous and had the faculty of making history rapidly and plausibly. In September, 1867 the first legal voting of the colored man under the United States Government in Louisiana was recorded, that being their voting for delegates to the Constitutional Convention of, 1868. This body proved to be an assemblage of ardent fighters for the rights of the factions they represented. Pinchback proposed the adoption of the Civil Rights Bill and the abolition of separate schools. In the convention were proposed the most stringent of all suffrage laws, which practically disfranchise many whites. Mr. Pinchback voted against this. He saved the day for the Republican party by opposing Wickliffe and other demagogues, who whined to use the votes of the colored man by promising a majority of the office to Negroes. Pinchback maintained that office should be awarded with reference not to race, but to education and general ability. In this he was fiercely opposed by many who were national for office, but not for the good of the state. The most thrilling part of the whole center thrilling period in Louisiana centers about the person of that redoubtable fighter, Pinchback. He was nominated for governor and to save the Republican party, accepted a compartment on the Kellog ticket. In 1872, he ran the great railroad race with Governor Warmth, being Lieutenant Governor and acting governor in the absence of the Governor of the State. His object was to reach the capital, Boston Rouge and sign two acts of the legislature, which involved the control of the State and possibly the national government. It was a desperate undertaking and the story of the race, as told by Governor Pinchback himself reads like a romance. By a clever trick and the courage to stay up and fight in the Senate all night he saved the Senate to the Republicans, and perpetuated their rule four years longer in Louisiana than it would have otherwise resulted. By the impeachment of Governor Warmth in December 1872, he became Acting Governor of the State, until January 1883, when the term expired and the Louisiana government was renamed, with C. C. Spencer as chief officer. That person was Pinchback, governor of Louisiana, who was sworn in by an army, by the Constitution of the United States. SALEM TUTT WHITNEY and J. HOMER TUTT Famous Stars Of The "Smarter Set" Company Which Is Presenting The Big Musical Comedy "Up And Down" At The Booker Washington Theatre This Week. THE MEN AFTERMATH OF THE TULSA RIOT B. A. J. Smitherman Shortly after the race riot of May 31st and June lst in Tulsa, Oklahoma, resulting in the death and wounding of more than two hundred men, women and children, the most of whom were colored people, and the wanton destruction of more than two million dollars worth of property, there appeared to be a deep sense of remorse and responsibility on the part of Tulsa white people which was given expression thru the local newspapers, and the outside world was led to believe through Associated Press dispatches that growing out of this apparent fear of persistence would come for some unintentionable purpose, for atrocities, of the riot by the rebuilding of the burned Colored district with the Caucasus sub-scribed by constructive white citizens of Tulsa. The "Tulsa World," considered the conservative newspaper of that city, in a front page article published Wednesday morning following the riot of the night before made public by white Tulsa men in an effort to raise funds for the relief of thousands of homeless Colored people who were for the most part innocent victims of mob hysteria, and for the rebuilding of the Colored district. The same edition carried a strong editorial in support of the suppression of the mass public opinion with the following confession. "The Matter of Shame "Proud, matchless Tuba comes before the bar of Christian civilization this day, and with head bowed, the mantle of shame upon her cheek, and we sincerely hope with deep regret in her heart, asks asks, 'What are you done of our citizens committed during Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.' There is not a man worthy of the name whose heart is not nure with indignation against that which has been done. Members of a superior race, boastful of the fact, permitted, themselves to degenerate into murderers and, vandals; permitted themselves to deal their community the foulest blow it has ever received. The law is incapable of limiting the wrong which has been committed against the community and its peaceful law adding citizen or expressing the dignity one invariably feels towards men incapable of controlling their passions and their prejudices. ****** "It is true that the pride of race well as prejudices is a consuming fire in the veins of every nationality. On this ground, one would like" were it possible, to condone or excuse the hysteria of Tuesday evening and night when the strife of the nation and mankind transformed into a raging torrent of her impelled men. *** "But nothing that the mind is capable of conceiving permah a word of defense or excuse for the murderous randalism which set in at the break of day next morning. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property—the houses of women and children, black in color, to be sure but guilty of some kind—total-organized bands of white men systematically applied the torch while others shot on night men of color. *** "The German invasion of Belgium with its warlike consequences was no more justified or characterized with any greater cruelty. *** "Time and Terror "Because of it Tolu is blamed at a certain point for the destruction of the United States can be explained or accounted for will; whose prejudices and false biases rules, and how they and wage deliberately harm the lives of military men. *" "With these accounts of systematic violence, will the United States be able to prevent such a horrific event?" THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 20, 1922 rise from the smouldering ratios of the most horrible 'race war' recorded in this history of our 'proud country'—if it had only lasted. But strange enough a few days brought in a decided change of public opinion and instead of general expressions of fear of consequences which manifested itself in absurd accusations against Colored men. The announcement from Washington that the Federal authorities would investigate the Tuskegee riot probably accounts for this sudden change of front. But of course there never has been a federal investigation of this atrocity. Public opinion in Tulsa which immediately followed the riot and massacre seemed to favor the Colored people was, soon crystallized into a-feeling exactly the converse, and instead of expressions of regist and sympathy there was, among some of the whites, open talk of further violence against the Colored people. Following this change of sentiment the "Tuba World" again came, to the forefront in defense of g crushed out outraged group of citizens with the following commendable editorial: "An Appeal To Reason" "The wretched mob spirit still smoulders. They are those who mutter complainingly at the merciful efforts efforts made to assuage the grief and suffering of the people who had been deprived of their houses and all earthly possessions. They would "drive them out forever." To "where? In calm reason let this question be answered. Helpless women and babies were roaming the woodlands round about. Tuska for thirty-six hours. Surrounding them and reared a barricade of guards in front of them. They were parliaments in the face of the earth. They had been driven out and had no where to go. "Standing high above every recognizable fact is this tremendous unmountable truth; these people have a right of life to the pursuit of happiness and to to have the rights to be free. To the insane law of the land and deliverately take a keystone from the arch of the government in this country. "Not only that, but they are essential to our economic and industrial life. You cannot drive 100 miles of people from 100 countries in the country to import 100 commercial and business file of that company." A DAY IN THE URBAN LEAGUE OFFICE IN ATLANTA GEORGIA Associated Negro Press It is a fine example of co-operation and a great gift to Jesse O. Thomas' Field Secretary of the National Urban League, is in charge in Atlanta. Our His office is a good sample of community service. When we were recently in Atlanta, we sought opportunity to find out what goes on in this busy office suite of three rooms in one corner of the Great Odd Fellows Building in the course of a day. We remembered when the National Association for the Advancement of the Atlanta, a representative of the Urban League gave me 15 hours of service at the regulation headquarters in aid of this other organization. This gives an idea of the possibility of co-operation among Negro organizations that are carrying out different parts of the one common program of that race. For example, it was the distinctive opportunity of the N. A. A. C. P., to organize the Colored people of Atlanta into a voting and publicity power that could compel the city to pass laws that would benefit the Negro High School; but we our last visit to Atlanta, we saw enough of Jesse O. Thomas often to understand that after this local issue was voted and the people made it will be larger the opportunity of the Urban League to see that this people is carried out that a program and another initiative for the school is succeeding and only more opportunities will be found for the development of the Negro Press.

The telephone rings. tl is the Recorder's Court. Some one in trouble. It is a young colored woman who refused to pay a second fare on the Jim Crow end of the street car. The Field Secretary who has some entree with these authorities, is asked to come and get this girl out of the clutches of this awful thing. Then a group of colored nurses employed in the city are met to consider ways of bringing pressure to bear for the remedy of some condition. Even a committee of physicians come in and ask information on mid-wifery, from a survey made by the Secretary looking toward the passage of a state law on the subject. The Colored matron from policy head quarters, who seems to have been appointed by influence of the League, comes in to get information about smoothing itself up against. Then another woman, sent by the Traveler' Aid, robbed on train and stranded. Yet another woman, bringing a daughter who needs phychopathic treatment! A father brings in an incorrigible big Brother" goes then the League officer in touch with a "lit die brother." And this League is continually busy with the Details of the lives of white and Colored people. For example, ever since there has been a Broward Court Colored women prisoners have been made to sleep in the basement of the jail, where they are treated with trees, spring, sheet or pillows. s. The influence of the League Has had them moved to the second floor and provided with human sleeping accommodations. The Urban League supplies teachers in all the counties of the state that operate two months schools for Colored children in the summer time. (And these schools are not the ones these schools better and longer, if possible. No longer in summer. And so the work goes on through this organization, supplementary to that of other organizations, working to better the condition and raise the status of the American Negro, and make America a better place for black and white to live in. They organize day nurseries, Boy Scouts, Banking Clubs, Mt Brother and Mt Sister movements. They send hundreds of questionnaires to the industries that employ Colored Folk, making suggestions about welfare work and welfare work making complaints where advisable. We have one suggestion to make not to the Urban League alone, but to all organizations doing any phrase of the work in behalf of interracial betterment, that their executive staffs have one combined annual conference for hormonizing and co ordinating methods and for mutual help. LYNCHING & THE WEST INDIES (Chicago Journal, Democrat, Daily) Almost every American wishes that the West Indies were covered by the United States, and the desire ought to be made unanimous. Geographically those islands are detached portions of North America. Economically their interests nearly all turn this way. The United States furnishes their best markets, nor is that the only consideration. Like all tropical lands they need capital and engineering service for development; and American jobs both. Moreover, the acquisition of the West Indies by the United States would make for peace peace. No sensible person supposes that France or Britain plans to use their islands as bases for attack on America. But the islands could be so used, and in times of excitement, a great mess people are not sensible. As a protection from the disturbance and expense which comes even with rumors of witch Uncle Sam could afford to pay a good price for the West Indian islands still under European flags—but what chance is there that those regions will be for sale? Apparently, not much of a chance, Britain and France can not sell and we can not buy colonists like cattle. The consent of the governed must be secured, and that consent may be very hard to win. Three quarters of the population of the West Indies is black or Colored; for there, in Louisiana, a distinction is made between punished Africans and those not punished. Unidentified and British rule, the exclusion of Negroes is unknown. In the United States, we can gratify ourselves on national self-restraint when fifty or sixty black men are murdered by molts in a single year. Rev. E. J. Buckner, pastor of Mary land St. Baptist Church Since his labor with the church began, there has been a noticeable increase in every phase of the church work. The auxiliaryes are now actively engaged in the mission work of the church. A rally to finance the erection of the parsonage was begun Sunday November 6, 1921 and closed Sunday November 27, 1921. The ground for the erection of the parsonage was on Monday November 29, 1921 and I agreed to say that we have erected fond connected to the brick modern four room cottage with both furnishings excepted. The informal opening and supper will be Tuesday evening Jan 17. The pastor is an earnest and faithful leader and worker in the church and community and an able minister of Jesus Christ. He is a native son of Missouri and attended the public schools of the county and city of St. Louis and also the Bible College of Divinity. He has his special training in theology. The results of his work for Christ is known in the following churches and congregations namely Providence and Ebenezer Baptist Churches, St. Louis, Mo. First Baptist, Webster Groves, and Music Baptist Church, Maryland Heights from which he was called to accept present charge. He served for three years as corresponding secretary and one year as missionary of Beren Bap Church, St. Louis. We are looking forward for greater achievements. The watch ward is "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion which cannot be removed but abideth forever." Ip. 125:1. L. E. B. Will West Indian Negroes rate themselves into a country which virtually denies the right of trial by jury to men of their race? It seems doubtful. There are other obstacles of the same general kind. Social distinctions of race in the British and French colonies, but they are not drawn with the stoody hardness which characterizes the United States. Political distinctions in the islands are almost negligible. Negroes can and some times do sit in the French Parliament as deputies from Martiniqua and Negro judges administer the law in Jamaica. But if all these difficulties could be avoided, the launching barrier would remain. President Urridings' speech on the color question not long ago was thought by many to be an effort to reassure the Colored populations of the West Indies, with a view of suggesting the transfer to those islands. If that were the purpose of the speech, it was adroitly framed, and should be followed by others of the same general nature. But no president can enquire the habit of mob lawlessness which has taken such a firm grip in this country, and which finds its worst expression in mob murder. Now, it is an international complication as well. The mob that hangs a Negro in Georgia, or burns one in Texas, or beats one to death on the edge of Chicago's black belt, is standing in the way of natural expansion of the republic and hindering world peace.

At the recent annual meeting of the Federal Council of American Churches, which convened in Chicago on December 17, one of the most important questions raked out that of inter-racial relations. The presentation of the subject was in itself a concert annuity of the Christian Church. On the same platform were heard four leaders from the heart of the South, two white and two black, seeing the question of race relations from a Christian and common point of view. "We never knew," said Rev. W. W. Alexander and John J. Eagan, of Atlanta, "how much racial prejudice and friction were due to lack of understanding of the Negro people, until we began to work with Bishop Robert E. Jones and a few other Negro leaders in the South. Nor did we ever realize before how much the Negro race has to contribute to the slaves of our nation." knew", replied Bishop Robert E. Jones of New Orleans, the first Negro Bishop in full standing in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Bishop George C. "Clement of Louisville" of the African M. E. Zion Church, "that there were in the whole world any white men so fair, so kind, so brave, so devout, so democratic, so certain white leaders to be show once we began to work with them". And Mrs. Luke Johnson of Gdflin, G.山, a member of one of the old aristocratic families of the South, voiced with deep feeling the Christian demand for justice for Negro women. M. C. A. HAS FURTHER SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS FOR EX-SERVICE MEN NEW YORK, Jan. 18, (Special) During the past year and a half many thousands of exservise been received free Scholarships in educational institutions through the scholarship fund of the National War. Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. It was expected that this work would cease on June 30, 1921. Some additional funds however, have been made available, and the Y. M. C. A. has announced a Supplementary Scholarship Plan under which half scholarships are being awarded in Y. M. C. A. schools in all parts of the United States. Scholarships providing half the tuition fee for the school year of 1921-1922 have been awarded to several thousands students in the Resident Schools of the Y. M. C. A. and in the correspondence courses of the United Y. M. C. A. Schools. The Fund offers a special opportunity to ex-servicen to secure the excellent copies of instruction by correspondence in the Extension Division of the United Y. M. C. A. Schools at half the price charged for these courses to non-service students. Full information may be obtained either through the local, Y. M. C. A. or by writing direct to the United Y. M. C. A. Schools 375 Lexington Avenue, New York City. Any man who served in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps of the United States in the World War, and who has an honorable discharge from such service is eligible to apply for these scholarships, and awards will be made as long as there are funds available under the present plan. Awards may also be secured in local Y. M. C. A. schools where such are available. These awards by the local Association from a special attachment of funds secured from the New PAGES 7-12 FINDS RACIAL RINCTION DUE TO BUILDING THE NEGRO Are Shown "How Much The Contribute To Richness Of Laders Agree That Race Dis- ne Race Discrimination. All the speakers, black and white, agreed that the Christian Church, the possessor of the Gospel of human brotherhood, has the supreme opportunity and responsibility for bringing about justice and better feeling in race relations. Said one white speaker: "The Church must, ultimately undertake to combat race prejudice in America, they must see to it that race distinctions do not become race distinctions. A man cannot be judged by his character and his usefulness not by race. The thieves can so give to the nation the real facts regarding the racial situation that this understanding and prejudice will largely disappear. Many intelligent people throughout the nation believe that, lynching is for one crime only, and so condone this great national sin. But figures for the last ten years will show that less than one third of the lynchings were for this crime. "No man can make 'me hate him," declared Bishop Robert E. Jones, in a dramatic moment; "nor will I lose heart, now that I have discovered that there are white men who are working as hard as I to secure justice for the Negro and that the Church is beginning to awake to its responsibility." A practical program of concrete activities for the churches was proposed and it was urged that all the churches colored and white, unite in promoting conferences for better understanding, in helping to form local interracial committees to work for racial justice and goodwill, and a campaign of education concerning the Christian solution of the race problem, York Headquarters. Under the original plan for the award of scholarships which was in effect from November, 1919 to June 1921, scholarships were given in all kinds of institutions schools and the pla awards were made to $3,591 ex-service men. Of this number 33,174 were in the Y. M. C. A. schools and classes; 1459 in elementary and High Schools and Business Trade Schools not conducted by the Y. M. C. A.; 23,491 in correspondence schools largely in the Extension Division of the Y. M. C. A. and 12,204 in colleges and universities. The total amount paid to ex-service men on account of these scholarship awards was $4,567,071. The National Educational Service Committee of the Y. M. C. A., regrets that the limited funds available for this supplementary plan make it necessary to restrict awards to Y. M. C. A. Schools at the present time. They feel, however, that in view of the needs of ex-service men in the country as a whole that this is the wisest plan. During the last two months nearly 5,000 ex-service men in various parts of the United States had received scholarship awards and are purging courses of study leading to vocational and cultural improvement. It is expected that this opportunity will be embraced by fully 15,000 ex-service men during the next three or four months and it is hoped that the number of colored men making use of this opportunity will be fully proportions to their numbers in military and naval service during the World War.

Brown has just returned from a two days hunting trip in Boonville, Mo. (Cooper County.) From the looks of their bags, they were loaded down with rabbits. When a hundred and twenty were counted, the rest was counted in a whisper. In the hunt were H. Riley Martin, Pleasand H. Hirvey and Andrew Williams. The first day out it looked as though the Boonville follows were the best marksmen, but the second day the Kirkwood follows pulled up and the Boonville follows had very little show before the fire. After the sport, they were entertained at the residence and farm of Messrs George and Jeffrey Jackson, prominent members of Cooper County. In the party who enjoyed the elaborate supper prepared by Mrs. George P. Jackson were Dr. R. Leon Hill, Grand scey. A. P. and A. M. of Mo., and Thos. Jones. On departure for the trains the guests were loud in their praise of the good fellowship and hospitality they received at Boonville. During their stay there, they were the house guest of M. and Mrs. E. H. Hammond. It is believed that there will be a kit, the troopers deciding among the Kirkweir brothers as to which one was the best markman. It being charged that one of them missed his first shot a deal less than a mile. A. M. E. Church A. S. Fields A. S.

Our Aller Longue was graced with the presence of Mr. E. Hawkins of St. Louis at 6 p. m.

Receiving the advanced information that their president, Mr. Robert Pittman, would be presented with a signet gold ring for his five years faithful services as a president, both the Senior and Junior Board were prepared to meet the occasion. The Junior Usher Board composed of the boys and girls with remarkable equilibrium was goed to look upon and a beautiful sight they made as they walled up before the attar and around he walls with the Senior Board. It is often said that the Usher Board has more members than any other board or club of the church. We have no proof for this however, but from the great number present Sunday morning and the happiness that prevailed among them, it seems that the Usher Board takes better care of its members and can turn out more on an occasion than any other department of the church. How the ushers do it, no one knows. This could be better explained by Mr. Pittman and he refuses to do it just now, at least he didn't do so in his speech accepting the service ring that, he had presented to him in the name of the official board by Rev. Smith, our pastor. The main board in its magnified Sunday morning was a sample of the many remarkable accomplishments of Lane Tubercle under the leadership of Rev. N. L. Smith. All of the ushers wore white garments. Mr. Z. H. Henderson explained after the ceremony that half of the Junior Board remained seated in the congregation as it was impossible for all to get in line. Sunday School Notes. The campaign for new members is getting rather interesting. Each class is anxious to have the largest number of scholars present. Sunt B. E. Phipps calls the school to order at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. The class that accomplishes this received the punctuality lamer. The Primary Department has been holding sessions in the main auditorium for the last three weeks on account of repairs being made in their department up stairs. Mr. Robert E. Wright and Mr. Ed. L. Carter both officials of the church were among the new scholars Sunday morning. They joined Morning Star Class. The Morning Star Class is making a special effort to get the Sunday School. Mr. C. J. Gill of the Trustee Board is the new teacher of the Senior Class. The choir extends an invitation to everyone to attend their Musical Monday night. Rev. T. A. Bowen, pastor of the C. M. E. Church Kansas ity and a friend of Rev. Smith, preached last Sunday morning. Rev. Bowen finished at Lane College. Rev. Smith preached Sunday night.

D., Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1932. Western Newspaper Union ELIJAH'S FLIGHT AND RETURN. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 13:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT-I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry—Pp. 40:1. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Ezek, 2:1-7; Achs, 18:5-10; 18:1-11. PRIMARY TOPIC-God Sands an Angel to help Elliah. JUNIOR TOPIC—God Strengthens Elijah INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jebovah's Champion Encouraged YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Finding and Finishing Our Task. This lesson story proves Elijah to have been a man of like passions as we are (Jas. 5:17). 1. Elijah's Flight (vv. 1-4). Upon Ahab's return from the excitement on Mount Carmel, he told his wife all that Elijah had done—that even all her prophets had been hewn to pieces by the sword. This so enraged her that she sent a message of death to Elijah, who seems to have been waiting at the gate (vv. 1, 2). This was clearly a bluff on Jezebel's part. Though Elijah had courageously stood before the king and the priests of Bala, he now covered before this woman and fed for his life. He seems to have failed at his strongest point. 4. Elijah under the juniper tree (v. 3-7). The juniper tree was a shrub of the desert which afforded shelter and protection to travelers from the burning sun by day and the cold wind by night. (1) His request (v. 4). This was that he might die. This was, no doubt, a foolish thing for him to say, but let us be, as considerate toward him as was God. The discouragement, and even despondency, of Elijah was due to the neryous strain of about four years of unusual service for God, which culminated on Mount Carmel. Such nervous reaction is to be expected. (2) God's tender treatment (vv. 5-7). (a) He gave him sleep (v. 5). "He giveh his beloved sleep" (Psa. 127.2). (b) He sent an angel to cook Elijah's meal (vv. 6.7). The angel of the Lord is usually understood to be the second member of the Holy Trinity. If this be correct, then we see Jehovah-Jesus preparing food for His servant Elijah, as he afterward did for his discouraged disciples by Gillee (John 21:19). God again gave him sleep, and at the proper time again gave him food. Though Elijah wanted to die God had something better for him for in a later day He met him with the "charlot of the Lord" and took him to heaven untoned by death. 2. Elijah at Airebo (v. 1). (1) God's interview with Elijah in the cave (vv. 9, 10). (a) God's question (v. 9). "What doest thou here, Elijah?" This was a striking rebuke, though most kindly given. It implied that His appointed messenger was now far away from the God of duty. Elijah was not where God wanted him, but God sought him where he was. How blessed to know that "A God-forming saint" was a God-for-saken saint" (b) Elijah's answer (v. 10). Elijah tried to vindicate himself by asserting his seious loyalty to God—"that puts of all this the people had not only rejected his message and dislobed God, but had sadness to destroy him." (2) God's interview with Elijah on the Mount (vv. 11, 14). While standing before the Lord on the mount, God caused a flighty demonstration of wind, earthquake and fire to pass before him to show unto him the nature of the work which he had been doing for God, and to show him what was lacking in his work for the fullest attainment of success. Elijah had about him much of the whildwind, earthquake and fire. His work had been terrifying and alarming, but it lacked in gentleness and love. II. Elijah's Return (vv. 15-18). Though Elijah had erred, God brought him again into His service. How comforting to know that God does not reject His servants because of their failures in times of despondency! He deals with them after the motive of their hearts. Elijah was nourished and instructed by the Lord and then sent on a high mission. God is a fine psychologist. He took Elijah out of himself by giving him a new commission. The most healing ministry is that of work. Many bereaved ones have been lifted out of themselves by active ministry to others. Before God would come in His charict to take Elijah home. He set him upon a threefold ministry: 1. To anoint Hazael king over Syriac (v. 15). 2. To anoint Jehu king over Israel (v. 16). 3. To anoint Elijah as his own successor (v. 19-21). Time Rightly Employed. Never talk with any man, or undertake any trifling employment, merely to pass the time away; for every day well spell may be a "day of salvation" and time rightly employed is no "acceptable time". And remember that the time thus trident away was given then to repent in, to pray for pardon of sins, to work out thy salvation, do the work of graffice to lay up against the day of judgment a treasure of good works, that thy time may be crowned with sanctity.—Jose One of the best paying professions open to women today, is scientific Beauty Culture.

LEAGUES all of the leading teams came through winner in last week games, although the fight was fierce and the winner not determined until the first whistle. Volley Fall The Old Man played the second turn on the Young Men's record when they outplayed them two games to win, and the winning team clinging games so far in the league the Old Man took the first, dropped the second, but finally used one ahead in the third after some great work. A series of games between Pine Street and Bowl! Avenue M. A. C. A. of E. St. Louis have been arranged and the Friday we went out and waited the company on our own court to play. We played the five games and finished well but was completely paced by our hard smash and well sprained show. Their passing game did not cost our boys a few minutes but they finally solved the problem and built up the defense before much damage was inflicted. E.

Basket Ball In the Junior division the game resulted in a huge victory for the Panthers over the Buffaloes. In the first half it was a replay, but it ended 4-1 in favor. But the second half the Buffaloes weakened and Partners waded off with the buzzer 16:54 NEXT Saturday, there will be a doubleheader in the Junior division, the Panthers, to take on the Cubs and the Buffaloes back up to the Ninth. And you want to win that game because you can win. You can win you will snatch back a real green frog to finish. In the Senior division the Battalion Gang was managed to keep their record then by trimming the Black Swan. The game was by far the most exciting battalion game followers of the sport have witnessed this season. The battle was a long one, the assembled crowd that viewed the game saw play both teams halfway station the contest was 13 12 in the Battalion Gang favor. The closeness of the score indicates the ferocity of the battle. In the second half of the game continued to a golden attack, both teams were over to change composition. The Battalion Gang's great performance by put them over as winner. The Black Swans played the best Gunny game for our record in the League.

THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, JAN. 20, 1922 SUMNERS OF TEXAS OPPOSES THE DYER BILL SUMNERS OF TEXAS OPPOSES THE DYER BILL Continued from Page Nine. pressure of public attitude the weight of congressional approval to this sort of measure. There is no use in fooling oneself about it either. In the nature of things Congress is not only charged with the responsibility of legislation but is charged with the ability of leading public opinion with regard to sound governmental policy. Mr. REAVIS, if the gentleman is familiar with the hearings before the Committee on the Judiciary at the time that the bill was before that committee, he will recall that the question was asked Col. Moff, the Assistant Attorney General, whether if this bill were constitutional and the Federal Government had control of individual beds in the room of the States it would be possible for the Federal Government to punish embezzlement and arrestee and assault, and battery, and that Col. Goff replied that it would, Mr. SILVERS of Texas, I am very much obliged to the gentleman for calling my attention to it. That is absurd. I am not a legislative promise that conclusion is sound. You can not escape it but his conclusion does not support the premise: it destroys it. Yet you are asked to gossip this bill. I do not want to be offensive, but I say to you that you can not pass this bill unless you It under the influence of the same sister, the old spirit. You say that the folks down in the South are not doing this tough enough and quick enough. The officers are not doing this thing fast enough and quick enough, and you both give ropes and they go after a bigger constitution. (Laughter and laughter.) If it is law for the Federal Government to levy a penalty against a county as proscribed in this bill, merely because such violence may have occurred, the police may not order that the person afterwards killed may have been transferred across the county, it can levy a penalty against each county for every office commissioner, or that the person or the property of any other individual officer, whether the county officer knew a thing about it or not. Here is what those money-shares are claiming was written into the county's amendment: That, the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution gave to the Federal Government the power to levy a penalty against every county or county district or they cannot support that clause of this bill. Now, you mark it, when they get up here— Mr. CHINDELOM. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. I will. Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Of course the gentleman would like me relating to extending the聘位 of the equal protector laws if — Mr. SUMMERN of Texas. Oh, if Congress can do what is required to be done in the 2nd section of this bill, trying to expand the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution by legislation so that they will have a basis upon which to test the legislative enactment — Mr. CHINDBLOM. That is by definition. Mr. SUMMERN of Texas. Next to definition. The States ceded to the Congress a definite power over them, the Congress came in, the receipt of the power, and tries by definition to spread out its power as so to be. If that is the best they can do then it is petty poor. There is not a thing in the fourteenth amendment about prohibiting web violence, nothing about fire, person, nothing about public violence, nothing about Mr. CHINDBLOM. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. SUMMERN of Texas. Yes. Mr. CHINDBLOM. Does the gentleman yield? Mr. SCMNERS de TUXUS. No; Congress has the power — Mr. SCMNERS. I am slyking more legally than reference to "the protection laws." Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. If the disciple in a few minutes disciple that in a few minutes. Mr. REAVIS. Will the gentleman yield at that point? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. REAVIS. The fourteenth amendment was a prohibition against a denial of not being denied not upon the denial by the State bug upon the action of five individuals. (Appause.) Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Not only is that true, but Congress in this particular instance is undertaking to enact a municipal code to define offenses and provide for their punishment, which the Supreme Court has said Mr. McSWAJY. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. SUMNEBS of Texas. I prefer not to yield because I have in mind to discuss the constitution of order. This bill will constitute an order. Congress can provide the conditions under which the governors of the several states will be required to call out the militia of the State to defend the perimeter of the state, the State, and could provide for the punishment of the governor, through criminal proceedings in the Federal court, and could squit the governor of the State to violate a violation of the legislative will and sled of Congress with regard to the protection of the persons or property of this people. STEVENSON. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. I will yield. Mr. STEVENSON. In relation to the fact this bill itself as written proclaims Mr. SUMMERS of Texas. I was just going to call the attention of the House to that. I am much obliged to the gentleman. This is the important thing about the bill. It must not propose in terms or principle merely an extension of Federal activity through Federal machinery either on harmony with, in respectful attitude, and in governmental matters, or in new form of this. This bill proposes a direct and diminishing governmental vassalage of the States, and you can just make anything else out of it. Do you tell me any good will come? Do you tell me any good will come? Government, in so far as I know, has any group of lawyers in Congress nor out of it claimed any such power or favor of its exercise. What sort of a governmental mess will we have in this country, and what must this sort of a legislative policy? If we did not have a decision from the Supreme Court, and by the way, you are the judges of your constitutional powers; the Supreme Court decisions when clear and established, and the professional action, but it does not relieve the conscience of the Congressman. You must pass upon your constitutional power, and I challenge you today under your official earth. You sit here as the highest court in the land and determine the issues of your life. You have the right of any man to vote for this bill if he believes it to be unconstitutional. If there was not a single decision from the Supreme Court, there is not a man sitting there—let us be hoofer about it. man to man—who will assert that in any time of this country's history you assert that the United States would have yielded to the Federal Government such power as they assert in this bill rest in the Federal Government. There is not one single thing in the political history of this country, nothing in its philosophy of government, and not one word in the philosophy of government, nor fourteenth amendment, to justify such a conclusion. I make this statement, too, gentle men: I have as much respect for the Supreme Court as anybody, but if the science and common sense would not permit you to intorse the decision, You are guardians of the Constitution and of the integrity of the justice. The study of the congressional conscience. mit of doubt. We are convinced that no such results were intended by the Congress, which proposed these amendments nor by the legislatures of the States which ratified them. We are convinced that the Constitution within in three years after Mr. Thad. Stevens put the fourteenth amendment through this House. He said he was convinced no such result was intended by Congress, and that the States which ratified them. This court sustains what I said » while ago, and he was speaking at that time — THE CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Texas has used one hour. Mr. SUMBERS of Texas. I yield myself 80 minutes more. -The CHAIRMAN -The gentleman is recognized for 80 mil- ings, mpg. Mr. RUMNEHIS of Texas, Mr. Chairman, there can be no question as to the soundness of the concession. The people would never have ratified a bill that would require such power as this bill seeks to confer upon the Federal Congress. Gentleman, I shall not be able to follow in the order I had intended the judgment, but, I shall be able to cover it sufficiently to show what the judgments of the courts are. Here is what this judge said in concluding his opinion. But, however pervailing this sentiment and however it may have contributed to the adoption of the amendments we have been considering, we do not see in those amendments any purpose to destroy the main features of the bill. He says " We do not see in the fourteenth government any purpose to destroy the main features of the general system" What would he have be said if he had read this bill? What feature of the general system will be destroyed? What will be published as a principle of government in this country that the Federal Government shall stand with the unified half of congressional enactment over every officer of the State? What have you left under your system? You are welcome, goutteen, to all the glory that you will get out of putting the country under your control. The country. It will be a blue thing for your children to read in the days that are to come that "My daddy on this bill answered 'aye' on the vote when it came". But this is not merely the enactment of a law. This is dynaming the governmental structure. (Appears to be a joke) You folks show the people that this is the thing to do they will bring in some more dynamite. (Appease.) No, she: you can not turn back on this course when you add to the public inclusion this sanction of the Congress, sitting in solemn judgement under the same law, and welcome to do it, but I am going to put the responsibility where it belongs. In the early seventies the carpet burgers was in his glory; but still he was a man of the day, and you folks were alone to blame. We were all 'blame for the situation that existed. But they had some excuse in that day for going crazy. You have not got any now! (Apollise) I must further from the Staughthee house. Among all the powers exercised by the states, none is more general—or ordinary—or fundamental than the power of the Supreme Court to do the identified thing which the supreme Court, in its first pronouncement, said can not be done, and was not intended to be done, by those who satisfied the fourth amendment. They thought it was essential to the perfect working of our complex form of government, though they have thought proper to impose additional limitations on federal power on that of the Nation. Gentlemen draw the picture in your mind of a United States marshal putting shackles on the arms of the governor and pulling him out of the mission of the people of the State and dragging him out of a federal tribune. You failed to do with reference to the protection of people who elected him to office. You cannot do it. You can not get any Supreme Court, you can not get a district court, to hold this thing. But no power, any power, any state governments by subjecting them to the control of Congress in the exercise of powers hereafter universal exercise of powers hereafter universally conceded to them of the most ordinary and fundamental character. acted such legislation as a part of the governmental frog growing out of the period of reconstruction. Such legislation was not confined, however, to the South. I am advised that a treaty the State of Texas had to have made to Mr. Stevens, the best authority, as to the cause which prompted, the submission of and the object sought to be attained by the adoption of the first section of the fourteenth amendment. Mr. Stevens, in his discussion, had this to say: "In the period of the age containing the "equal protection" clause: ****the Constitution limits only one action of Congress and is not a limitation on the States. This amendment supplies that defect, and allows Congress to correct the unjust legislation of the States so far that the law which operates upon one man shall operate upon all men. All men shall inscribe the white man for a crime, shall punish the black man precisely in the same way and to the same degree. Mr. MISNOTT. Will the gentleman yield there? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. SINNOTT. Will the gentleman put in the RECORD the place from which he makes that quotation the page in a proslogical book, or what ever it is? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Yes; I believe I can. If I can not, I will furnish it to the gentleman later. Mr. CHINDBLOM. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. BUHNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. CHINDBLOM. The gentleman will not yield in his statement before the House, to cite all his authorities. Mr. BUHNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. CHINDBLOM. Will the gentleman put his citations in the RECORD as a part of his speech? Mr. REAVIS of Texas. Yes. Mr. REAVIS. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. BUHNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. REAVIS. In the quotation from Mr. Mirews did I understand the gentleman to read his statement to the State legislation that denied equal protection of the law? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas, No. he stated that Congress had the power to deny the States the power to legislate in discrimination. Mr. REAVIS, of course, legislation does not protect the law would be held unconstitutional without congressional action? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. CHINDBOM. The court would take care of that. Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. But you would be under that section of the fourteenth amendment not the exercise of the power to negative disciplinary acts on the part of the State, but to enact a part of municipal code, for Congress to do it; to punish one citizen of a state, under a law on punishment, against another citizen of the same State. That is the vice of this proposed legislation. Such a thing is proposed by this bill clearly was not had in contemplation when the amendment was submitted or when it was opposed to the shadow of a great passion too often wrought confusion in the judgment of our statesmen. The fourteenth amendment did not undertake to create any additional guarantees as among the citizens of the State. The Crulkbank Case. Mr. SUMMERB of Texas. Yes. The Crulkshaw case, decided in 1875, is found in Ninety-second United States, 542. The case areas under the sixth section of the act of May 31, 1876, known as the enforcement act, which in part is as follows: "If two or more persons shall hand or compile together, * * * with intent to violate any of the provisions of this Act, or to injure persons, shall in fact, blind his free exercise and enjoyment of any right or privilege granted or secured to him by the Constitution of the United States. * * * shall be held guilty of felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be lined or imprisoned, or both at the direction of the judge." Trulickhank and associates were charged in the District Court of Louisiana with engaging in a conspiracy to violate and for violating this section, and were convicted, on pon rulers in the Fourteenth Court, the Fourteenth amendment does not undertake to create any additional guaranty as among the citizens of the State. This judgment of conviction the Supreme Court, ordered the defendants, the court holding—I quote briefly: of the statute. — And so forth, and charging compas- ter to hinder the deputy herald from safely keeping the prisoners. The same sort of indictment as would be drawn for the deputy under the jurisdiction. This indictment was drawn under section 5538 of the ReviseI Statutes of the year 1871, which is very similar to the section under which the Crutchkash indictment was had, and is identical in legislative import with provisions in the bill under consideration. It is observed upon an examination of this indictment that in effect it charged the same offense as defined in the last clause of section 3 of the bill under consideration, which undertakes to subject to Federal jurisdiction any citizen of a State guilty of tak- ing a defendant from the custody of a State citizen, or dying or death upon such person as a punishment for his crime. Section 4 of the bill under consideration is identical in principal with the section under which this indictment was had. The opinion was rendered by Mr. Justice Woods, who after the court's decision, sent a memorandum with reference to the constitutionality of the action under other provisions of the Constitutions said: "It is however, strenuously insisted that, the legislation, under consideration finds its warrants in the last and last clause, and that, in the first section declares, 'no' nor shall any State deprive any person of life liberty, or property with out due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law." In the Marshburtous case, the Cynkshuck case, Virginia v. Rives, 100 U. 8, 318, the court says. Three authorities show conclusively that the legislation under consideration finds no warrant for the enactment in the county amendment in the indictment. In the case which would be a good indemnment under the law if the law itself were valid there is no infimation that the State of Tennessee has passed any law or done any not forbidden by the fourteenth amendment in the gravamen of the charge against the accused is that they consipse to deprive certain citizens of the United States and of the State of Tennessee of the equal protection accorded them. A remarkable thing about this bill is that it comes in here with the condemnation of the Supreme Court in the clearest language, resting upon every provision, except possibly a provision which allows as remarkable a legislative proposition as the history of Congress will show. Ms. SANDERS of Indiana: Will graduates yield? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. I ww M. SANDERN of Indiana. I to get clearly the gentleman's vii the constitutional provision.
