MRS. TERRELL ON LYNCHING.
Outlook For Our People Not So Bright,
She Says.


In a recent speech at Boston Mrs.
Mary Church Terrell Of Washington
made the following reference to the
progress Of the race and the cruel
practice of white people who lynch
colored people:
There are $4,000 colored school
teachers in this country. and their
school property Is valued at $2,500.0 900,
while their church property is valued
at $57 100000, and colored people own
100000 acres Of land in the United
States. But with all this the outlook
for the colored race Is not a bright one.
We can teach our children the value
of training, Of application and OF
righteousness in life. but we cannot
inspire them with hope.
THE shameful red murder record of
the United States may be accounted
for by the impunity with which color
ed men, and In some cases women, are
killed every day. The offenders are
not often punished. and In many cases
they are not even called to account.
This applies to the numerous cases Of
lynching that we hear about"

THE LITERARY SOCIETY.

Brief Mention Of Some Organizations
Which Are Doing Excellent Work.
The success of the literary organiza-
tions maintained in the various sec
lions of the country by Afro-Americans
shows that the race is giving consider
able time to the cultivation Of the in
tellectual side of life. Meetings for
the discussion Of the current topics Of
the day as they relate to subjects Of
home, state or nation are always prof.
liable If rightly conducted. The liter
ary society should I'll large place in
every community and should be 50
conducted as to hold the attention Of
the public In its special line, just as
the church, social club or secret socie-
ty touches the personal interest Of its
members.
The selection of speakers and topics
should always be given careful con-
sideration. In the opinion of those
who have had years of experience in
literary organization work home talent
should be given a large place both on
programs for public meetings and in
the work assigned to the several COM
mittees. Persons of prominence who
have made a success in business or
professional life should also be given
an opportunity to contribute their
quota Of thought and experience to
literary organizations.

WHAT AM TRYING TO DO.

BY Or. Booker T. Washington, In the
"WorIds Work Magazine, New York
City, November, 1918
Il am trying TO get the white peo-
pie to realize that since no color line
is drawn In the punishment Of crime.
no color line should be drawn In the
preparation for life, in the kind Of
education, in other words, that makes
for useful, clean living. am trying
to get the white people to see that in
hundreds Of counties In the South
It is costing moro to punish colored
people for crime than It would cost to
educate them. I am trying to get all
to see that ignorance. poverty, and
weakness invite and encourage the
stronger race to act unjustly toward
the weak, and that so long as this con-
dition remains, the young white men
of the South viii have fearful handi-
cap In the battle Of dfs."
