We have never known two injus-
tees to make anything right The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope. we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with a white man
when question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

If President Wilson would take the
same interest to prevent the lynch
ing of Negroes, that Attorney Gen.

American recently lynched in Illinois,
every Negro would not hesitate to
make every possible sacrifice to win
this war. However, our President
condones the wrongs against real
Americans by his cruel silence.

We are living in an age and an
epoch which is characterized by a
growing and insistent demand for JUS
tice and democracy. The United
States is sending men, money and
munitions to the battle fields of Eu-
rope as its demand for justice, free
dom and equality of opportunity for
all peoples, and it would be well for
the Americans at this time to remem.
Der that here in our own country for
the past fifty years since the aboli-
ton of slavery, is race loyal, patri-
otto people who are not enjoying at
the hands of this government here at
home the principles of that democracy
for which we are fighting to make the
world safe, and in which fight God
helping US, we will be victorious.

"He gave a magnificent example
of courage and energy" says a
French General of Division of Private
Henry Johnson, u. s. A., colored. "A
good and brave soldier" he says of
Needham Roberts, also colored, whose
life johnson saved. Both men fought
bravely," says General Pershing in
his official communique. Together
though both severely wounded, they
beat of an attack by twenty Germans
in listening post, forcing them to
fee. For their splendid initiative,
valor and determination the Croix de
Guerre has been awarded them; to
Johnson the gold palm also.
Upon the same page of The World
that described this feat of arms ap-
peared dispatch from Valdosta, Ca,
telling how Mary Turner, colored,
was hanged by mob.
For the crime Of killing white
man and wounding his wife, two men
had been lynched last week. Mrs.
Turner was the fourth victim, her
husband preceding her by a few
hours. The murder plot was sup
posed to have been made in her
homo; she twas said to have had
the dead farmers watch" when cap
tured. Legal evidence against her
there was none; even the lynch-law
testimony, not subject to crossex-
animation, was worthless and in
conclusive.
In France two Negro volunteers,
badly wounded, give an example of
courage and energy in the defense of
democracy which is deemed worthy
of citation before whole army d.
vision and by General Pershing. In
one of the leading states of The South
a negro woman is put to death by a
mob, without companionship of her
sex, without evidence or plea, in de-
fiance of law and justice.
With tens of thousands of Amer
lean Negroes fighting for civilization
in France under the American flag,
HON much longer are the American
people to tolerate Negrb lynchings?
