FARMS AND

Lack of capital on the part of the
farmer inevitably means soil exhaus-

auction. Tie farmer who is to pros
per must have capital; only the pros
porous ran really meet the needs of
the consumer; and in this. as in every
other kind of honest business, the
only proper basis of success is bene-
lit 10 both buyer and seller, producer
and consumer"
I'VE cannot permanently shape our
course right on any international is
sue unless W. are sound on the do
nestle issues; and this farm move
ment is the fundamental social issue
the one issue which is even more
basic than the relations of capitalist
and w~orkingman. The farm industry
cannot stop; the world is never more
than a year from starvation; this
great war has immensely increased
the cost of living, without common
suraiely improving the condition of
the men who produce the things on
which we live. Even in this country
the situation has become grave"
our object must be % to make

to eliminate as far as possible the
conditions which produce the shift

suits; (4) by progressive taxation or
In other fashion to break up and pre-

ers in some Southern states are ad-
vocating law to stop lynchings and
it doubtless would be very effective.
The law is one for the removal of all
sheriffs in counties lynchings take
place. This might work hardship
on a sheriff, but it would make all
of them alert to prevent lynchings.
Under present conditions the sher-
ifs nearly always make show of
resisting a mob. but ii is merely pre-
tense and nothing more. The sher-
ifs usually deliver the victim to the
mob without much trouble and not
once in hundred times is any men,
Der of mob hurt by an officer while
engaged in taking victims from Jail
to be lynched. The sheriff knows that
the men in the mob are the voters
who elected them to office. He may
know them personally and recognize
them, but he does not consider ii his
duty to endanger himself or the lives
of the men in the mob in an effort
to protect the prisoner.
An automatic removal law, how
ever, would put different face upon
the matter. If the sheriff would lose
his offioa fhrouph nnrnn itfinO hricon-
ers to be lynched the chances are
that he would protect them and that
there would be no lynchings
Congress cannot enact. such a law.
but the states can and the white race
will be the chief beneficiary under it.
The whites are disgraced more by
lynchings than are the blacks, who
are their victims. Such law would
of course, call for the right kind of
men being elected to the office of
sheriff. The man elected to that of
flee would go in with his eyes open
and a full knowledge of the law. Those
who elected him would also under
stand it and the mobs would know
what to expect when they went to
the Jail and demanded of the sheriff
that he turn over the keys. The sher-
iff who tamely submitted, as sEeriffs
do now. would find himself out of Of

Speech of Col. Young
StirS BaltimOreanS
to Deeds of Action
(By Associated Negro Press }

(By Associated Negro Press)
BALTIMORE. Md, Sept. Sub
scriptions are being taken among Ne
groes here to establish a department
store, which is to be operated exclu-
sively by and for members of the
race. At meeting held at the Met
ropolitan African Methodist Episcopal
church it was announced that more
than $4,000 had been subscribed.
The movement is partly due to a
speech recently made here by Col.
Charles Young, of the United States
army, Negro lin which he urged
Negroes to own and operate their own
business institutions of all kinds. Such
IA plan previously had been discussed
among Negro leaders here, but Col.
Youngs speech caused it to bear fruit.
Rev. B. G. Shaw, pastor of the Met.
ropolitan church. is in charge of the
taking of subscriptions. He said that
it would not be possible to start the
proposed store with less than $780, 900.
1t would be operated on the CO.
operative plan, so that the customers
would not only deal with members of
their race. but also would get lower
prices. No person will be allowed to
hold more than 500 worth of stock in
the concern. If the store proves a
success. the next logical move will be
to establish Negro bank, Shaw said.
He believes that such a bank. with a
capital of at least $25O.OOO, can be
established.
