"THEY SHALL NOT PASS"

Since the Washington and Chicago
riots, the daily newspapers of the
South, have been having glorious
time joshing the North They have
been saying, in effect: while we
lynch Negroes in the South, we never
bother other than the one lynched
all others are safe" Now comes
Knoxville, Tenn, knocking the sox out
of that flimsy argument. In riot in
that southern city, Negroes were
called upon to defend themselves and
their homes, as they were called upon
in Washington and Chicago. That
they manifested remarkable spirit
of self-defense, all reports concur. The
time has come when the American
Negro has taken up the famous ex.
preston of Marshal Joffre, and made
it their own: "THSY SHALL NOT
PASS"
The American Negro has been of
teh most patient and long suffering
group of people ever known to history.
He is in perfect love with all that is
just and righteous. Perfect love casts
out all fear" and therefore, in defense
of his manhood rights, death, today.
has real charms. This being the case,
and since it has been long time Gus
tom of the rough element of the
American whites to hold the race in
subsection by FEAR, it seems most
prudent, wise and timely, to "come let
us reason together" In many CON-
munities, North and South, this is be-
ing done with fine effect.
1t may as well be understood. and
nothing else would be expected wheth.
er this is regarded as white mans
country''-even though it was stolen
from the Red man, who has always
been friendly to the Black manor
not, the American Negro today has a
new point of view, which all hadcs
cannot wipe out. Listening to the
siren of Righteousness, Justice, Liber-
ty, Freedom, and Democracy, he has
accepted the tenor of their way, and
with keen eyes, set face, steady tread,
open mind and strong arm, asks moth
ing more, and certainly will take moth.

the oppressor, the American Negro

CIVIC LEAGUE WILL

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. o.
The Negro civic league will soon be-
gin a series of activities for the pur-
pose CT interesting 500 or 500 non
registered Negro voters lin the city
to become registered this fall Smok-
ers will be held in all the districts
where Negroes reside and all will be
solicited to become voters as duty
they owe the community as citizens.
The campaign will be conducted on q
nonpartisan plan and no influence will
be used TO persuade the voters to-
ward any one party. The large number
OF Negroes who are not registered
here is due to the fact that during
the war, large number came to this
city 1t was impossible at last years
registration to reach only small part
of those who had come here during

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 9.-An appeal
to sane thinking Negro citizens of
Georgia to assist in keeping down race
troubles in this state similar to those
which have occurred recently in
Washington and Chicago, was issued
by Mayor Key when he delivered an
address of welcome before the Grand
Lodge of Negro Odd Fellows at the
Big Bethel church
Mayor Key declared he had expert
enced a great deal of trouble in keep
ing down race trouble in Atlanta and
urged the Negroes to help him in his
efforts.
1--WE are not going to have race
trouble, if you people will show the
proper intelligence" This statement
on the part of the mayor was received
with cheers and applause on the part
of the delegates which lasted for sew
eral minutes.
When the noise had subsidized to
where he could speak again, Mayor
Key said: Down here in this coun-

people stay OF themselves and so do
the Colored. Each has his schools
and places of amusement and neither
conflicts with the other.
"These people who live upon the

tells you they are not is fool. My

ing to an announcement made by
Boy Scout Executive Leslie R. Math-
ews, who spoke at the Zion. A. NJ. f.

A new departure was being made in
this district, in organizing a patrol of
Negro Boy Scout troops. Mr.. Mathews
told his audience He said it was an
entirely different proposition with
Negro boys than it is with the boys of
the white race, as they do not have
such good places as the Y. NJ. C. A.
and other boys clubs at which to
spend their time These disadvantages
can be evened up, he said, by an eff
cient scout troop under the leader

ALABAMA CITIZENS
DISCUSS PLANS
TO PREVENT RIOTS
(By Associated Negro Press.)

(By Associated Negro Press.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. "a
meeting of Colored ministers was held
at the First Colored Baptist church
for the purpose of discussing plans for
the prevention Of any racial trouble
in Montgomery At this meeting, it
was decided to call another meeting
of white and Colored ministers, at the
Old Ship church for continuance Of
the discussion.
The plans for the prevention of ra-
cial trouble are based on having a
complete understanding between the
races and to keep both colors warned
against listening to any agitators who
may be heard. 1t is thought that
some men with intentions of stirring
gomery talking with the people. AS
leaders of their respective races, the
ministers plan to warn the people as
whole against becoming excited by
the propaganda spreaders who are
talking and who are, in fact, enemies
to both races.
while nothing is feared in Mont
gomery concerning the race situation,
it is thought best to warn the people
as a whole against the meddlers who
seem to be trying to start trouble
they said.
"These meddlers are thought to be
adventurers travelling through the
country. They talk to the people and
move on without leaving any name
and without giving anything to SUBJ
stantiate their statements. 1t is
thought that only the more excitable
element of both races will be agiated
by any such propaganda"

GEORGIA GRAND JURY
WILL INVESTIGATE
RECENT LYNCH|NGS
CBy Associated Negro Press)

MRAE, Ga, Sept 9.-The lynching
of Berry Washington, 70 years old,
Negro, here recently was called to
the attention of the grand jury yester-
day by Judge Graham of the Circuit
Court
In charging the jury, Judge Graham
pointed out that, under the law, all
who aided in the lynching were as
the shot that deprived the aged victim
guilty as the one who actually fred
of life. Their oath, he told the jurors,
should guide them in considering the
matter.
He also directed attention to the
fact that Washington after killing a
white man whom he claimed was riot
Gus in the Negro quarter, had given
himself up to the sheriff at Milan,
and cited the law requiring sheriff
or other officer having custody OF a
prisoner to give him full protection.
