PASTOR OBJECTS TO MAYORS STATEMENT
Preacher Of A. M. E. Zion Church Discusses Interview With QuiSIey

Rev. G. II. Staton. pastor of the local negro church GA. M. E. Zion) has taken exception to the attitude or Mayor George A. Quigley on the race question as published in the tierald in an interview with the lat ter upon his return from the South last Tuesday. It will be remembered that the mayor commented upon IynchingS and the local negro has taken the remarks, rightfulIy or Wron9fully. as an endorsement of lynch law Whereupon the negro preacher makes a few statements as follows:
 The article quotes the mayor as stating, in reference to lynchine,s 1hat they are not thorouehly understood by the Northerners, who consider h,t the IyncherS arc taking the law into their own hands; the city oNorutive seems to believe that mob lynchings are right and justiliable and favors the laWlcss acts.
 Now we wish To impress that our views are in vast contrast to that of the mayor, for, admitting it to be true, that the Northerners do not understand the colored man as the Southern white man does, vet we
 
 NorthernerS understand the statutory laws and th" law of principle as thor oughly as tic Southern white man, and do not tolerate any people, whether white or black, becoming outlaws and common law murlerers We also differ with the mayor in his statement that the majority of the lynchino, caSeS were not to be uues- toned. viewing. from this that the law ought to bow to the outlaw With- out question. From another angle. We wish to ask the mayor if he does not think reasonable that. if the vast majority of negroes in the South could prevent legal punishment, the same majority could prevent mob punish- mont.
 We have travelled through all parts of this country where the colored people are thickly populated. especially the districts referred to, and are in a position to say that he colored people are not aggressive when it comes to trouble but will fight like blazes when cOrnered. It is therefore to be understood that. whether he is white or black. there has yet to be made an attempt to in terfere with the punishment of criminal brought before legal tri- bunal through Interference with the process of law. by co1ored men. even though such an example has been set by the other race of the South.
 The negro of the North is the same flesh and blood as the negro of the South. but the spirit of the Northern negro is cultivated and graced by the law observing example set by his white neighbOr in the North. with a few exceptions. And the good thinking colored man of the North, like those of the South, and the 1na jority of whites in the North. favors legal punishment of the crimi nal regardless of race. color or creed.

Many of these men, the depart

doing the same sort of work before

"Aeroplanes" for some time have
