The PythIan Case.

The Supreme Court Of Tennessee
decided Saturday, January 9th, that
the Negroes have no right to call
themselves Knights of Pythias, and
that the white people have monopoly
on this NEUROLOGICAL story. Tennes-
see is not the first Southern State
to so decide; but as mean as the
white people of Mississippi are said
to be, flower court of that state did
not so decide. Strange things hap
pen in our dear southland. No man
can tell what the people OF this or
that state will do, and no man is able
to find the reason why they do certain
things. Tennessees case cannot be a
political move, for our Supreme
Court Judges were elected by the
people as free and untrammeled.
Every man who identified himself
with the straight democratic party in
the last judicial election was defeated
on the ground that an attempt had
been made to coerce the judges and
to tie them to the political machine,
the people set their feet down on
such an attempt; they would not vote
for men who had identified them
selves with faction that was charged
with such an outrage. The case was
not decided from a standpoint of law;
because the lower court has never
gone into the merits Of the case and
consequently, it did not go up to the
Supreme Court based upon law. The
fact remains, however, that the deci-
sion has been rendered by the
highest tribunal of this state, and it
is now left for the United States SUI
preme Court to decide For the Ne
groes of Tennessee will not give up.
They are as courageous as the Negroes
in other states and will fight this
case to the end
We have never approved Of a prac
tice of Negroes grabbing up every
lodge started by white people; we
have never seen the necessity for do
ing so; for it is the easiest thing in
the world to establish a lodge ant
find a name for it, and reduced Il
its final analysis the principle is thu
same after ALL The name, regalia
password, grips and signs, mean lit
tie unless the members of that lodg
are working for the good of humani
ty. But since the Negroes Of Ter
nessee and the United States did dc
eide to organize lodge and call thi
lodge the Knights OF Pythias wha
right has anyone to object? We di
not believe that the Supreme COuI
of Tennessee would decide agains
the Negro citize2s of this state in thi
case, but very much to our surpris
they have done so. But we have NJ
lost hope yet. We will not belieV
that the contention of the whit
Pythians is right until the Supren
Court of the United States so decide
If a suggestion could be made b

A house divided against itself must
surely fall, therefore whenever and
wherever we find man of the race
engaged in an honest contest which
involves our political and civil rights,
it is our imperative duty TO sink per-
sonal differences, ignore that mans
individuality, if need be, and to faith
fully stand with closed ranks by the
principles for which he contends un-
til the victory is won.
With unconquered prejudice and
subtle malignity the wealth and
brains of the late slaveholding class,
their sympathizers and henchmen,
have combined and are persistently
exerting their all-opewrful influence,
in and out of Congress, through every
avenue Of the States Government,
through every remihcation Of life, to
retard the Negroes progress and per-
petuate his poverty and degradation.
Every scheme, device, fraud, VIC
lence and cool, calculating murder
are being perpetrated to destroy the
legitimate fruits of freedom; to deny
resist, nullify and cheat him of his
constitutionally guaranteed rights
and privileges as an American cit
izen.
It Is, therefore, absolutely necessa
~ that we lay aside our internal dis
sentions and minor differences ant
present solid front.-Coloradt

Honest men don't stand chance;

Bigger patches on our pants.
"On our pants, once new and glossy,
Now are stripes of different hue,

is Pat MalIoy Gully.

or DAVIDSON county one fdJ Mainly
was sentenced to be hanged on the
goth of. April, 1912. The charge
against this man is the murder of
one Herman Henning. At the time
of the killing, the facts were shroud-
ed in mystery. The officers were I'M
able to get any clue as to who the
guilty party or parties were. 1t did
not look like a deed of Negro. Mr..
Henning was known to have some
money. It was supposed that he kept
this money in his house, and it was
the opinion of all at that time that
the murderer was after the money
supposed to be hidden in chest
somewhere in the Henning store.
For months and months no clue to
the murder was found, and only re-
Gently Pat Malloy was arrested in
East st. Louis, ILL.,, as a suspect. He
was brought to Nashville and put on
trial. He was represented by able
counsel appointed by the State. Evil
dence was made from day to day in
a way that was strange, and yet not
uncommon. 1t was circnmstantial evil
dence, and the witnesses were intro
duced as the trial progressed. The
manner in which it was done made it
very easy to convict the man. The
people of Nashville do not yet believe
that Malloy is the right party; and
if he were connected with the crime
at all, it is the opinion of many who
have kept up with the case that 9th
ers are implicated.
1t appears, however, that Malloy
and his friends have waited very late
to do anything in his behalf. The
case must now be taken to the SUI
preme Court, which puts the con-
demned man to a great disadvantage,
and more so since the lawyer who
has the case in hand now was not
associated with it while it was in the
Criminal Court
Malloy is an admitted gambler who
frequented the worst dive in the city,
namely, Sol Cohens on Fourth ave-
nue., South, and Malloy makes no pre-
lenses at being other than bad char
acter. He has served several minor
sentences in the workhouse and IN the
County Farm. These facts naturally
take from him the sympathy of those
who would otherwise feel kindly dis
posed toward him. But, be that as 1t
may, he is human being and his life
is sweet to him, and it does not speak
we'll for the strong if they crush the
/ life out of this man because of his
bad reputation and because nobody
seems to care whether he is dead or
alive.
The killing of the merchant Hen
ling was a most brutal murder, but
if Malloy is put to death for the
crime, and the case is dropped there,
which it will be, the people will not
feel satisfied that justice has been
done. 1t would be a charitable act
if someone would take an interest in
this affair and see to it that Pat Nal
10y is given justice. 1t should be as
certained whether or not he is q
sane man, for, be it remembered, he
: has not acted in way to create the
impression that his mind is in very
good condition; and if he is weak
minded and has been used as a too
in the hands of others, the truth
ought to be known. And for humani
TVS sake this man, though a con
/ fessed gambler, ought to be given g
fair chance to prove whether he i,
guilty or innocent.

Miss Johnson's Recommendation,

Miss Johnson's Recommendations.
Miss Mary Hannah Johnson, city
librarian, in making her annual re-
port, took note of the situation as it
is in Nashville, and after discussing
at length the good which has been
accomplished by the establishment
and maintenance of one library in our
city, she takes up the matter of ex-
tending the work and proves beyond
a doubt that Nashville needs more
libraries and emphasizes the need of
library for the Negroes. Miss
johnson has the hearty approval OF
every Negro in Nashville for this ut.
terance, aud we feel sure that her
opinion is concurred in by all of the
fair-minded people of this city.
The idea of a Negro library is not
new. 1t will be remembered that
Mayor Howse in his last campaign
spoke Of this institution, and steps
have been taken in that direction
but nevertheless, the endorsement Of
the plan by Miss Johnson, who is en-
gagged in the work, and who is in pc
sition to know better than anyone
else the good that libraries do, i.
l worth more than that Of anyone elsC
at this particular time.
That the Negroes should have {
library needs no discussion, for, az
was said by Miss Johnson, the library
helps the people educationally, moral
ly and socially, and with the mum
Der of colleges we have here and oul
splendid public school system tn,
need for a library for Negroes be
comes imperative. There is no oppo
sition to this move, and we feel sur,
that in the near future the Negroe
of Nashville can boast Of first
class library.

Time to Register?


an article giving the dates when the
supplemental registration will be
held. We urge upon all Negroes in
Davidson County, who have not regis
tered and who have moved since the
last election, to take advantage of
this opportunity to qualify themselves
to exercise the right of franchise in
the next election.
Every man of voting age ought to
do two things: First, he should pay
his poll taxes himself as soon as
they are due, and then he should re-
gister and qualify himself to exercise
the right guaranteed by a poll tax
receipt.
Politicians are always busy. Differ
ent men manufacture different schemes
No one can .pl what
move will be made by this faction or
that faction, or what step will be
taken by this individual or that indi-
vidual to carry a point in an cleo
ton. The man who is aspiring to
political honors does not always give
due consideration to the welfare Of
all the people; it is the majority in
many cases they seek to please, The
refusal of few voters in a commu-
nifty to qualify can make a majority
who may favor some scneme detri-
mental to a class.
Negroes in Tennessee have been
exercising a degree of independence
for several years. They have ceased
voting for a man because he is re-
publican, but because they believe
him to be a man of courage and with
a conviction to do right. The result
of this has been that in this state
there is a desire on the part of all
political parties to treat the Negro
with more fairness and to accord him
justice.
There is sno sympathy In politics.
1t is a matter of business. Men are
not in the game for the fun of it. The
party that is out always charges the
party that is in with many things of
which it is not guilty. And the party
that is in invariably refers to the
party that is out as pie-hunters."
Well, most men like some kind Of
pie, and to get this pie they are not
always very particular as to whether
someone suffers or not, but often lose
sight of everything but the pie and
make a straight dive for it.
The independence of the Negro
voters of Tennessee has caused all the
aspirants for Office to be little care.
full when they are making these
lunges for the pie counter. That is,
they stop and count up the cost be-
fore making the move.
The way to continue this attitude
effectively is for Negroes to qualify
as voters, and always vote if for no
other purpose than to keep in the habit
of it. If the case is one where a
party holds a primary, dominates a
ticket, and no other party puts out
an opposition ticket, vote for the
ticket that is out Show to the world
that you are interested to the extent
that you vote whether or not the
candidate needs your vote.
The number of qualified voters in
Davidson County is not nearly as
large as it should be, and we are
urging upon every man to qualify;
for who can tell what will come up
or what man will decide to run fol-
Office? And the attitude of that
man toward this or that class of cit
liens? If the Negroes are not quail
fed to cast their ballots they can have
no say as to who shall hold the of
fees.

JACK JOHNSON WORLDS CHAMPION.
Jack Johnson is having the time of
his life trying to get chance to fight
somebody. He has been barred OUT
of Australia, England, California and
New York and every state except
Nevada. Youngstown, Mo-, came to
the front last week and refused to
let him give boxing exhibition. II
really seems that If the entire white
race throughout the civilized world
has combined to prevent Johnson's
enjoyment of his title. All of this
not so much because civilization is
against pugilism, but because it is
against giving the black man a chance
to enjoy his well-won laurels in thai
respect.
Mr.. Johnson is to be commended
for his effort to get his rights, but
the Herald would like to commend
to him while doing so, the example
of unity which the white race displays
in his case as III so many others. i
our race would copy the example Of
the white race to the extent Of stick

rise up and honor his name.
