The Proposed Organization of
Neqro Press Association.

There is not an agency which
moulds and reflects public sentiment
as the newspaper They are recog-
nized as positive and potential forces
in focusing and concentrating the at
tention of the people against the per
petration of wrongs committed
against them by designing and I'M
scrupulous men. They are the protec-
tors of the interest of the people, the
community and the government Such
newspapers are an asset to the prog
ress, peace and happiness of the so
cial, material, industrial, moral civic
and ethical welfare of the commu-
nifty. To bring about more fully and
completely a realization of these con
ditions in the life of the people, the
community and the government it is
absolutely necessary that those pa.
pers should organize and thus be a
potential unit i'll contending for their
rights and interests to the extent that
they will bring to them the fullest
measure of prosperity, happiness and
contentment.
AS a recognition of the above facts
a call has been signed and issued by
some of the leading and prominent
newspaper men of the State to meet
at Alexandria, August 20, 1911, for the
purpose of organizing a Negro Press
Association. 1t is sincerely hoped

WE WANT THE REVISED STAT.
UTES NOW.

We understand that the revision Of
the Liberian Statutes by Counsellor
r. McCants Stewart (now Justice Of
the Supreme Court was completed
several months ago and accordingly
reviewed by a special committee des-
ienated by the Legislature. We UNI
derstand further that the compiler
has got quotations of cost from sew
eral publishing companies and de-
clded upon the company which should
do the work. Why then is the manu-
script not sent to press? Are we
waiting for the American Government
to first tell us that it is necessary?
The lack of funds, if offered, will not
be accepted by the public as a reasona-
Bile excuse for delaying this most i'm
portant work. At the very highest,
the cost of publication would not ex-
coed $4,000, and that amount is pro-
durable from the Bank of British
West Africa under the new arrange
ment for quarterly advances to the
Co mment based on the average
custom revenue of Monrovia Port;
such advances being wiped off auto

The. Blood of His Brother.

A few days ago a Negro in the state
of Oklahoma took it upon himself to
arrest another Negro, and with the
aid of two other Negroes carried the
prisoner into the town, evidently with
the intention of turning him over to
the sheriff. The report of the associ-
ated press says the three Negroes
were going through the main street
of the town when a mob of white
men noticed them, and upon learning
that the man under arrest was sus-
pected as being the one who had es-
capped Jail with charge of having
criminally assaulted a white woman
against him, the mob at once set up
a howl for the deliverance of the
prisoner into their hands. The report
does not say whether the self-appoint-
ed Negro sheriff made any attempt
to protect his prisoner or not, but it
is brought out that he had a gun.
What happened to the man under ar
rest is too well known.
Here is a case that clearly exempli-
fies what would happen to any Negro
who might be detained by his fellow
man, and how absurd it is to think
for a moment that Negroes will turn
over members of the race to mObs of
white men to be butchered up and
burned as rubbish. No Negro who
has an ounce of sense is going to do
it. We do not wish to create the i'm
preston that we favor lawlessness,
but on the other hand we would not
for a moment consider the advice
friendly that tells Negro men to as
sist in apprehending men charged
with crime when we know that such
effort would be aiding a mob in their
hellish intent The Oklahoma Negro,

ty only to have him snatched from
his hands and mobbed and burned be-
fore his eyes, doubtless hangs his
head in shame when he faces his peo-
pie to-day.
Barbarians and half-civilided peo-
pie have to be dealt with in a manner
i'll keeping with their intelligence.
The American people are to large
degree semi-civilized, and cannot be
expected to reason out grave ques-
tions. They never stop to find out
whether a man is guilty or innocent
but when the excitement arises and
the time-worn cry of assault is made
the average American instinctively
goes for his rope, oil and matches and
runs out to find black man, not par
ticularly the guilty man, but any old
black man will do. Under such con
ditions we severely condemn the idea
of aiding to destroy helpless human
beings, for no man wants to feel that
he was the cause Of the shedding OF
his brothers blood

It is rather deplorable that lynch
ing and burning of man has oc-
Cured in the State of Pennsylvania.
1t has been the pride of the American
people to be able to contrast the safe
ty and security of the lives of the col
ored people in the Northern States as
contradistinguished from that of the
South. Lynching has been pursued
in the South with such satisfying i'm
munity that it no longer provokes
comment; it has grown to such pro-
portions, and for such trivial causes
that the people of the South have come
to look upon it as one of the recog
nized lawful executions, and their SEN
sibilities are no longer shocked at the
dangling of human form in midair
riddled with bullets, or the charred
and incinerated bones of one burned
at the stake.
A few years ago the body of col
ored man was made fuel for flames in
the State of Texas, and the account
of its barbarous novelty, the people
it's barbarous novelty, the people were
provoked to resentment. Several
burnings have occurred since and
that form of torture and death no
longer invites comment.
There is not a State in the South
that is exempt from the hellish mean
ness and disgrace, and no infraction
of the law is too trivial to stop the
infiction of the penalty which first
suggests itself to the mob.
Amidst such surroundings of inse-
curity, it was but natural for the vic
tins of such conditions to seek refuge
in those States which afforded them
proper protection under the law, and
whose consciences invoked for them
a fair and impartial hearing. From re-
cent occurrences, however, our dreams

A Contrast Not Favorable to the
South.


Last week mob took a colored boy
from a hospital at Coatesville, Pa,
and burned him alive The crime
against the majesty of the law was
very great, as the boy was in the Gus
tody of the law at the time of the out
rage This crime is just as great q
crime as though it occurred in the
heart of the South But this can be
said of the authorities of the law in
Pennsylvania: Every one got busy,
from the Governor to the deputy sher-
iff, and as a result number of the
participants in the lynching are now
confined in Jail without bail This
promptness on the part Of the officers
of the law is to be commended, and
is bold contrast to the way the
Georgia officers did last week in the
case of the killing of three innocent
colored men and the burning of col
ored homes and churches, etc.-all
done by parties unknown" accord
ing to the made-to-order verdicts.
If the Southern courts had the high
regard for the law that they should
have, the lynchings in the South
would become as infrequent as in the
North but by the winking of the au-
thorities, lynching goes merrily on,
regardless of the guilt or innocence
of the party lynched. A very bad
contrast for the law-loving and law
abiding South.-E9st Tennessee News.

ago from all indications has not yet

spreading There are two distinct
factions lining up for the coming cleo
ton, one is known as the regular

democratic party and the other as the
law-enforcement party. Both factions
are claiming to be the bonifide party
and argue that the affairs of the city
are SAT, st in their hands. The fight
is getting warm even before the pri-
mary is held. The law-enforcement
candidate for mayor is campaigning
already, fully two weeks ahead of the
democratic candidate. This seems
strange, but when the matter is sifted
it comes out that after all the fight
is being made on Mayor Howse, and
not the whole administration. The
present chief executive has made a
good record, and were it not that
there are certain individuals who are
sore at the Mayor, he would not have
any opposition in the coming election.
The matter is being carried to the ut
most extreme. At the last session
of the Board of Education it is
claimed that the Howse adherents
ran things to suit themselves. That
all rules were set aside and favorit-
ism substituted in their stead. But
President Barthell put the quietus on
that tom1yrot with a clear statement
of the facts in the case, and Mr.. Bar
thells word is not questioned.
We would advise the Negro of
Nashville not to be deceived by the
false doctrine being preached by the
daily papers. Study the men who
have conducted the affairs of the city
in the present administration, and de-
eide for yourselves whether they are
guilty of the charges lodged against
them. The voters are in a better po-
sition than the newspapers and poll
ticians to decide this question unbias-
ly, and especially is this true of the |
Negro voters who are not mixed up in
