THE successes of the Cornell boat
racing crew upon the waters of the
Hudson and the defeat OF Yale Col
lege and Harvard University in one
contest and Columbia and Pennsylva-
mia in the other has placed the boys
from Ithaca, N. Y. in most favorable
light and made them the heroes of the
hour. In this contest, American
methods were successful. We looked
in vain for a colored man among the

Hon. r. l. SMITH, a member of the
Texas Legislature has been successful
in securing the passage of bill which
provides for the summary plotting out
of lynching. 1t was introduced by
Representative Bailey of Dewitt coun-
ty.
But the surprising part about it, is
the drastic nature of the measure.
It provides for the arrest of the lynch
ers. and their trial in another county
from that in which the crime was COM
mitted, and also for the removal from

The Richmond PLANET of Richmond,
Va, has moved into its new home, a
handsome three story building. 1t has
a counting. press, job. news, stereotype
and editorial rooms. The structure Is
a monument to the editor and proprie-
tor, John Mitchell, Jr.. and a credit to
the Afro Americans who have so ably
supported him. The chief anchor of
hope of the Afro-Americans is in the
courage and intelligence of its news-
papers. Mr.. Mitchell's good work is
not confined to his newspaper alone,
but to him as much as to any one citi-
zen, is due that Afro-Americans in the
south are being tried by impartial ju-
ries and a verdict rendered on the evil
dence submitted.
