Jason said her breath was reminis-

SENATOR MCCORMICK
DENOUNCES LYNCHING
FROM SENATE FLOOR
CBy Associated Negro Press)

Washington. D. c., Mar 31-In a
recent speech in the Senate on the
Egyptian situation, Senator McCor-
mick of Illinois said: Mr. President,
there is another authority who might
be consulted while the debate turns
upon Egyptian right to liberty In
the third verse of the seventh chapter
of Matthew it is written, Why behold
est thou the mote that is in thy broth
er's. eye, but considerest not the beam
that is in thine own eye?
'It is true that the net result of
British government in Egypt has been
the material development of the coun-
try to the neglect of the education of
the people and their political advan-
tage. But, Mr.. President, if we are
not to guarantee the government of
Egypt. it is hardly a matter for our
intervention 1t would become us to
inquire If in some measure we have
not been responsible for a like neglect
of some dark people with whose wei
fare we are charged under the consti-
tuition of the United States My friend
the senator from Oklahoma, Mr..
Owen, speaks of the imposition OF the
withdrawal of the proteetorate in
Egypt as an assumption of right on
the part of the British, a right which
does not exist. I cannot quarrel with
him on that ground; lat while we dis
cuss the course of the British govern
ment in that regard, | think We might
inquire of our own conscience if we
have done all that duty requires of
us in regard to some 10,0O0,O00 of peo-
pie living under the constitution of
the Union
at is written in the constitution of
the Republic that no citizen shall be
disfranchised by reason of his color;
it is written that if there be any gen
eral disfranchisement. there shall be
a diminution of the representation Of
the states effecting the disfranchise-
ment But these provisions of the
constitution are as dense as the liber
Of Egypt. But, putting aside the ques-
ton Of political rights, consider that
the country, north and south, during
the last year has witnessed disgrace
full mob murders. There have been
four-score lynchings in the Union dur
ing the twelve months last passed.
My own state Of Illinois has been the
scene of violence on as great scale
as that in any other state in the Union
during the last year
''As we sit in judgment upon 9TH
ers, so let us judge of our own duty.
1t does not become us to speak only
of the dereliction of other people. II
this senate is to consider resolves
upon the state OF the people of Egypt.

mob murder and lynching in Amer

Dear Sir: My attention has been

February 21st, with reference to the
plans for the proposed union station,
which were submitted to the com
mission by the architects previous to
the last hearing.
l wish to assure you that these
plans were entirely tentative and pre-
pared in accordance with the ideas of
the architects without specific in
structions concerning the details
thereof. am sure that there has
been no thought on the part of any
member of this commission that ar
rangements should be made for the
segregation of the races. No doubt
provision will be made for separate
waiting rooms for males and females
which is the usual custom throughout
the country, but nothing more than
this has been anticipated.

MEANING OF UNITY

So much has been said lately in
regard to NEGRO Unity" and l am
taking the liberty. Mr.. Editor, to put
forth some of my views on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Webster defines unity as "con-
cord" harmony and peace" or
agreement, a very good definition.
But what we American Negroes want
to do is to do something and not do
so much talking. Talking of what
ought to be done, and not doing any
thing to establish unity is nothing to
the eyes of the world, especially the
other nations.
We have often heard the words of
our greatest American statesman,
Abraham Lincoln: "a house divided
against itself cannot stand; we may
put 1t in much broader sense and
say: A race divided against itself
cannot stand, perhaps this would be
better. This is the way the Negro
race is today: Divided against it.
SELF" Let US think for moment
and know that lip loyalty to our race
is no loyalty at all, and that we can
accomplish nothing by envy, we can
accomplish nothing by jealousness, we
can accomplish nothing by the worst
enemy Of the world, gossip The
greatest trouble with the Negro today
is the fear we have of someone of
our race getting ahead of one of us.
This should not be, my dear people;
boost the members Of our race up.
Everyone was not born to be leader,
God the great creator who knows our
needs better than we, choose his own
leaders. History abundantly proves
Lincoln's superiority as a leader, and
! II no one had followed him the Negro
would not have been a free race and
the union would have perished for
ever. This is one of the many ex-
amples of leadership.
There is tendency on the part of
some of my people to want to lead
when they know they are not capable
OF doing so; because we can't lead
don't try to break up everything that
comes to your town to do good. Let
US remember man was made for
growth, the Negro being no exception.
1t is time that we were pushing the
! horizon Of ignorance little farther
away and become richer in knowl.
edge.
Let us be in harmony with ourselves
then we may expect the other nations
to be in harmony with us. We often
say that the other nations fight us
why my dear people we fight our
selves. Boost our own churches, our
own schools, our own papers, and our
own business establishments. Don't
always be in the white mans churcA,
he doesn't want you there, even if he
asks you there. Keep in your own
churches.
Gossiping about our neighbors is
not unity; breaking up our own
churches and Sundays schools is not
unity; seeking to destroy the char
acter of someone is not unity; re-
buking the goods deeds of someone
is not unity. All these things must
he taken under consideration; let us
try to remedy them, and some time
in the future when all evil has been
thrust from our mind, when we stop
doing things for suite instead of the
good we derive from them, then we
will be better prepared to understand
unity in its broadest sense. Out of
which will come harmony, concord,
and agreement
