An authorized delegation recently
called on the President to have Con
gress take action upon the murder
and lynching of colored citizens, He
informed them that he had no au-
thoritv to interfere; that it belonged
entirely to the States!
Has he protested against those al
most unspeakable crimes, that are so
barbarous that words cannot be dis
covered in the English language suf-
hciently strong to denounce them?
If his heart was really good to-
ward his colored fellow citizens he
has had sufficient time to show it
since October 28, 1910, when three
of Gods noblemen knocked out Ma
ryland's election law grandfathers
clause in the United States Court OF
Appeals before Judge Morris. The
Court declared that the law violated
| the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments of the United States Constltu-
ton; he also fined the election Of
fcers under the United States stat
utes. Maryland appealed the case tc
the Supreme Court.
The President can have any case
advanced and disposed of before that
court. The case has been before tht
court over eight months before i
adjourned. While pending the re
cess of the court the President car
ask an opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral upon any or all of these dis
franchising constitutions and disqual
J living statutes of the Southern
| States; such an opinion would stol
the carnival of death until the Su
preme Court meets again.

only completed the course, but kept
UP his postgraduate studies, and no"
is one of the foremost young Preacn-
ers in the Baptist Church. 10 our
young friend who has devoted MS
life to the Gospel ministry, and has
come up through much tribulation, we
are glad to extend the right hand OF

GUST SOUTH DAKOTA
SQUATTER COLONIES
Town of Newell to Be Scene
of Wholesale Eviction
Proceedings.

Hundreds Of squatters on Government
land in South Dakota are to be deprived
Of their illegally acquired homesteads
This announcement was made by the In
terror Department today. Arrangements
have been made to start the legal ma
chinery of the department with a view
in the near future. Muchv of the land
on which their homes are built for the
purpose Of opening the land up to le-
gal entry.
As a result of the activities Of the
Reclamation Service in the Belle
Fourche Valley, several new towns have
come into existence. One Of these, the
Government town Of Newell, named for
the director of the Reclamation Service,
has had a phenomenal growth, and has
attracted a large number Of spectators.
Many of these spectators made no
effort to comply with the law and erect
ed buildings on the town lots. In some
instances these sites are held by the
original squatters. but in numerous
cases the spectators have sold their
holdings to innocent purchasers.
The department now intends to hold
q second sale of lots at public auction
in the near future. Much of tn Gland
1t is proposed to sell, is that illegally
occupied by squatters and the victims
of squatters. Election proceedings will
be instituted against the trespassers in
order that bona fide purchasers may GO
upon tese lots without hindrance or
delay.
1t Is regarded as probable that endless
litigation will result from this decision
of the department, but the Government
intends to get possession of the land
and settle the matter in the courts af-
terward.
