SLABS AssEMBLYMAN's FACE

New YOrk.-Counsellor McDougal of
BOB Broadway, New York City, a col
ored Republican lawyer and formerly
deputy assistant district attorney,
who resented the ex-assemblyman's re-
marks in the county courthouse last
Wednesday, is no stranger in this city.
1t seems that on entering the county
clerks office, McDougal was accosted
by the ex-assemblyman, and it is
alleged that he accused McDougal, in
Il very nasty manner, of being re-
sponsible for his defeat, in the manner
as follows:
why didn't you get your people
out to vote for me on election day.
was the defeated assemblyman's greet
ings. Il did everything | could" re-
piled McDougal, ito defeat your 1t
is alleged just at this time Cuvillier
shouted: Yes, you and the other mig
gers defeated me-" This was more
than the colOred lawyer could stand
and he asked the defeated assembly
man not to repeat the word "nigger."
But it is alleged that Cuvillier re-
peated it and there was only one
thing for McDougal, that was to de-
fend himself AT this juncture the
slapping took place. and with some
whispering remarks uttered by the
Tammany ex-assemblyman he disap-
peared.

and Gladness

celebrate on that day. But, while
Christmas brings its joys and pleas
ures and brightens many happy homes
on the other hand to some it Is the
saddest and darkest day of the year
Think of the boy or girl who has gone
astray and forgotten home and par
ents in the wild chase for good time,
and fast life. To such as these we
know that they are sad and that tears
fill their bleared eyes on Christmas
day when they think of the old home
and mother and father and how happy
they were on Xmas together.
Again, think of the poor, unfortunate
boy who is confined behind prison
bars on Christmas day because he has
committed some crime in violation OF
the laws and is there paying the pen
atty for his misdeeds.
Do you not think that that poor soul
is sad and that his thoughts are wan
derng back to the old homestead and
to the time he once enjoyed Xmas and
Toasted and celebrated with mother
and the rest of the children? Yes, we
are sure this poor soul is sad, but not
half so sad as that dear old mother
and father who mourn and shed tears
for their absent loved one.
Therefore, we are reminded 9t
Christmas time that we should spend
our lives in usefulness, in trying to live
the life and example of Christ that the
world may become better for our hav-
ing lived in it. What a great blessing
Christmas time is and should be to all
men?
1t has the tendency to soften our
hearts and cause us to give freely to
the poor and needy, and renew friend
ships and forgive our enemies. 1t
brings joy to our hearts to see the lit
tie innocent children so happy and
contented with their toys and their
dolls that "Old Santa Claus" gave
them.
What great pleasure it must bring
to any one to be able to join with ev-
eryone in the true spirit of Christmas.
To sing, to laugh and to play with the
little children and rejoice in the birth
of Christ. What grand privilege to
go to the churches to listen to the
Christmas carols and hear the great
choir peal forth in that wonderful an
them-"PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD
WILL TOWARD MEN"

LEAGUE PETITIONS CONGRESS.
Asks Early Consideration and Passage
of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
Every Congressman Finds Petition
On Desk When Congress Opens.

Washington, d. C.-When Congress
opened, every member of the House of
Representatives found on his desk Il
petition from the National Equal
Rights League urging him to do his
utmost to secure early consideration
and final passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching bill, which is No 1877 on the
House calendar.
The petition, signed by the president,
NJ. A. NJ Shaw, calls attention to the
continuance up to this very day of
lynching, undated, unchecked, undi-
minished in frequency and savagery,
and cites this as ample proof of the
inagiity of state jurisdiction to cure
the evil and disgrace to the nation.
President Shaw started movement
for million dollar defense fund be-
longing to and controlled by the race
at mammoth meeting in his Boston
church, Nov. Both, and today started
from Boston for speaking tour OF
three weeks in the middle Western
border states.

House attempts to make reappor-
tionment under the 1920 census,
(which is plainly unconstitutional by
avoiding the enforcement of the four
teenth amendment" he intends to ap-
peal to the Supreme Court to decide
the constitutionality of the next House.
He declares his determination to make
it his first and principal duty in Con-
gress to work for the restoration of
political equality and justice in the
United States" Representative Tink-
ham explains that under the consti-
tuition representatives in Congress are
apportioned every ten years in accord
ance with the population of the sew
eral states, but Congress is directed
to reduce the representation of any
state in proportion to the disfranchise-
ment of any of its citizens"
