OF COLORED CITIZEN
TOWARD LAWLESS OUTRAGES

The attitude of leading colored
citizens toward the murderer of Mrs.
Wilson is that OF all other good citi-
Zens. The property owning and tax
pairing men of color do not stand for
iaWlessnesS and crime. This is wide
~ known and the body polite. espe
cially in the South. does not attempt
10 visit vengeance upon the whole
race for the crimes of the few. Re-
sponsible men and women of color
other people and when murderers
have taken to cover in their sections
they have notified the officers Of the
law. That this was done at Weirs-
assaulted the marshal OF Leesburg
only last week. 1t is safe to say if
the thousands Of colored citizens who
are taxpayers. worthy laborers and
dependable helpers, or any one of
these classes. knew the perpetrator
Of this foul deed the same would be
told without reserve.
The negroes that are law abiding
and know that their future is safe
only through law and order are
Inundated when it is inferred that
they would conione crime. They
bear the same relation to the GRIM
inal negro as the law abiding citi-
zens OF the white race bear TO the
white criminal. They express them
selves as hoping that the guilty
party may be caught and that he
may be meteI punishment for the
crime
! They wish 10 be on record as

ed people are noted. their faithful
ness to their masters in slavery con

would be lynched.
Two members OF the Star force

buggies scattered around. a short
distance back of the Wilson home.
and in an exact line with the route
the man who killed Mrs. Wilson is
said TO have escaped over.
! The men were closely packed
on a log and at least every third man
was heavily armed and one man had

, scene. he was quickly gra bbed and
! held by several men and the negro
taken out OF his car. Seeing that
resistance was useless. Mr.. Galloway
left. coming quickly 10 town and re-
moved from jail another negro
whom he more strongly suspected
and he feared the mob would try to
get. and spirited him away.

A CORRECTION.

The Journal tries to be accurate in
its statements but occasionally gets
caught as does every reputable paper
In the address of President Marsh,
delivered in Portland last week and
published in this paper, an error crept
into his remarks which should be recti-
fled. In speaking of the immigration
commission appointed in 1907 to ex-
anime conditions throughout those
parts of Europe from which our immi-
grants come, he stated that the net
results of the three years investiga-
ton were -four or five little reports
embracing from ten to sixty pages
each" The foundation for that state
ment was taken from a debate on the
work of the commission appearing in
the Congressional Record in which
that charge was made by a congress-
man from southern state. The pub
lished reports of that commission are,
on the contrary, quite voluminous,
taking up many volumes The Jour
nal wishes to make this single correc-
tion in the address at this time. The
correction was made by Marsh prior
to delivering the address in Portland
but not in time to help us

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Press re-
ports state that the American Railroad
Employers and Investors Association
will disband July l. This association
was formed five years ago at the in
stance of the railroads. At the time
of it's formation p. H. Morrissey then
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, was selected by the
railroads as president of the associa-
ton The Employers and Investors
Association made itself conspicuous
by opposing all remedial legislation
sought by the railroad organizations
of the various states and also the fed
eral congress. This association not
only opposed labor and other legisla-
cerned itself in other labor legislation.
Some years ago, while the forces of
organized labor were endeavoring to
secure a ten-hour law for women in
the state of Illinois, the Employers
and Investors association had repre-
sentatives on the ground opposing it.
When the railroads, a few years ago,
ATTEMPTED to have repealed section 9
of article 8, of the constitution of Okla
homa, which in effect would have re-
pealed that part of the constitution,
which abrogated the fellow-servant
rule, the state swarmed with repre-
sentatives of the Employees and In
vestors' association, who assisted the
railroad corporations as against the
railroad brotherhoods in an effort to
secure the repeal of this section. The
people of the state, however, refused
to sanction the appeal by majority
of approximately 100000. AS a mat
ter of fact it has been patent that the
Employees and Investors association
was nothing more or less than a
scheme originating in the brains of a
few railroad magnates for the purpose
of hectoring and dividing the employees
of the railroads who were members of
