Lynching Should BE Stamped Out.
The Negro soldiers conduct over

this war by any thoughtless or un-
manly word OF deed On the contrary,
he will be anxious to renew and
strengthen the friendly relations that
he left behind, confident that Il spirit
|of justice abides IN the land to which
he is returning. Rightly required TO
be law-abiding himself, he confidently
expects that law and order will pre-
vail, that lynchings and all forms Of
mob violence, which have driven SO
many of his race from the South, will
be stamped out by duly constituted
authority and that every man, regard
less Of color, who has fought on served
under the Starry Banner or who has
been loyalto that emblem of liberty
and justice, will be granted that rec
ognition to which all true Americans
are entitled. Nearly 100000 gallant
black soldiers, fruit and flower Of
the Negro race have helped to make
the world safe for freedom and de-
mocracy; many Of them have fought,
bled and died that their country 5

Of her travail and danger, the Negro
has neither faltered nor failed IN
pledging his life, his labor, his money,
his ALL in defense Of his countYy's

be denied fair treatment and the rec

Up to Municipal Authorities
to See That Law
Is Obeyed

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Enforce-
ment of constitutional prohibition
will be placed squarely up to state

Federal government machinery will
not intervene unless obvious ineffi-

Mr. Kramer said the people Of the

classes
Heretofore the line of demarcA.
ton has been between those who
favored the prohibition of the liquor
traffic and those who opposed it.'t he
said. From now on the line of"dec

are in favor: 'fof obeying the law,
whether their personal views are in
harmony witAi.the law or not, and
those who WIFI be ready and anxious
to violate the law:
Describing the machinery being set
up for the enforcement of prohibition
laws, Mr.. Kramer said:
'The first step will be with state
inspectors. They will keep them
selves informed as to conditions in
their states" he said, land will re-
port to the state federal agent, who
will use his forces to Investigate and
arrest if evidence warrants.
"The highest success will be at
tanned only If the great mass Of law
abiding people make their influence
and power felt,' Mr.. Kramer said
"Obedience to law should be preached
from every pulpit, taught in every
school room, urged from every Plat
