Out Of Court.

Abba, Iowa, Special to Bystander-
The dlsbarment proceedings against
George III. Woodson, the cOlOred at
torney who was charged with inducing
witnesses sometime ago to leave the
country is set free. It seems the state
relied upon the depositions and when
they were knocked out the state found
itself unable to get the witnesses in
time to proceed with the case and was
compelled to dismiss 1t. It was a great
victory for Mr.. Woodson as tbs dis
barment cloud had been hanging on
him nearly six months. He has an
extensiye practice in Mahaska, Mon
rec, Wapello, Jasper and Polk coun-
ties His partner, S. Joe Brown was
the chief counselor for the defense,
assisted by W.. w. Epps, ex county
attorney OF Ottumwa. j. T. Davett

President Roosevelt. ] do ont doubt
that every Negro in America Is In
sympathy with the dismls led soldiers.
II do not condone the offense OF the
few who committed the murder, for
the whole affair Is deplorable. 1t was
!, not the duty of the comrades to turn
the gu lty part es over to the authort-
tiles. Had 1t been that the soldiers
had been white and the persons
wounded were Negroes, have not
the least doubt, but that affairs would
have taken quite different turn and
there Is nothing to prove that the
white soldiers would have told who
he guilty parties We're. Would the
president have dismissed in disgrace
the whole battalion as a punishment!
1t Is quite true that the innocent VIII
suffer with the guilty, but why in this
particular case any more than any
other case? Have the men who took
part In the many riots and burning
suffered? No, thousand times, no;
even the guilty have not suffered they
have gone unharmed. President Roos-
eyelt has never been known to cry out
against mob violence of any sort as all
of these were affairs OF states. Was
not this an affair of Texas and did
not the President interfere He may
have acted with authority, but this de-
manded Federal interference, how
much more do the burning OF Negroes
and Atlanta riots demand Federal In
reference, when the future OF the
whole race is engendered by the pref
ndice aroused by these riots.
The sold ers must take their medi-
cine, although 1t Is bitter. for perhaps
the whole truth Of the AFFAIR will
never be known. There will come .
time, however, when the nation will
need the BLACK regiment" No one
can tell but that another San Juan
Hill will confront this cu0ntry, but
there will be no Negro soldiers 70
save the day. The day may not hO
Tar distant when the wrongs Of these
soldiers shall be redressed.
Let us then be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Mr.. GRAVES or MANILA IN OUR

Mr.. Thornton Graves from Manila,
p. l., was In our office yesterday. He
left his home in Moulton, Iowa, April

the past thirty years, and was the
irst Negro family to settle In that
city. Mr.. Graves occupied the posi-

graves came home by way of Singa-

Said and Gibraltar to Newport News,

Il Mr.. Graves said: "The Islands are
rich and afford splendid opportuni-
ties in a business way. I found the
Negro residents comparatively few In
number, but they are prosperous
some are engaged in business and

ne Is highly regarded by the prelates,
for administrative ability,
and his great success in New York.
While the establishment Of Negro
bureau has been the subject OF discus.
sion among the prelates for some
time, those most earnestly at work on
the enterprise have been Archbishop
John M. Farley Of New York, and the
bishops OF Mobile and Nashville. They
have felt, it is said, that the Negro In
America was not receiving the at.
tention he deserved at the hand Of
the church, and are desirous OF ag-
gressive pushing missionary work
among these people. ~
There are eleven millions OF the
colored race In the United States, OF
whom less than 2, per cent are Cath.
ole. This has been food for thought
of the Catholic church, and 1t Is felt
that the church must "be up and do

the Josephites at the recent mission

the Negro has not stood before the

Catholics, and 1t behooes us to be

economy, has been mapped out for
the Church in the United States.
