BLACKS DRIVEN FROM
TOWN IN ILLINOIS

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Dixon, ILL.,, Aug. ia number Of
Negroes were driven from Dixon by
mob of 200 white men of this city
and Polo. Though the exodus was
accompanied by violence, a severe
rainstorm which broke early in the
morning is thought to have prevented
serious trouble
A band Of eight unidentified white
men set fire to a Negro-White resort
and it was destroyed.
Both demonstrations are outgrowths
of the murder of William Coffey,
world war veteran, who was shot.
Three colored men, arrested for the
crime, have been held to the grand
jury and preparations were made to
remove them from the local Jail if
necessary.
No intimation was given that an
attempt will be made to apprehend
any of the whites who participated
in demonstrations.

devoured the grasses along the water

DO THEY PoINT7

Do things point to the end that Is
expressed in the above statement? +?
Let's see.
Colored American citizens in the
South, without the ballot, and no
hand held out to help them, except
the lone hand of Congressman Tink-
ham Of Massachusetts, are stirred
from center to circumfrance. New al
lance and new leaderships are in the
making. What this will mean, only
time can tell, but there are things
going on, and they are not under
cover.
In the northern and Middle West
voting states, where the Colored votes
under normal conditions, are the
balance Of power, there is a wide
spread feeling of disgust, and dis
appointment, and the people are ac-
tually looking In three different di-
rections: Friendly Democrats, Socia-
lists and Independents.
They point to the fact that the
Republican newspapers have failed
to back up the program of human
rights declared for In the Republican
platform adopted in Chicago. Here
is statement from a nationally
known citizen: "The New York

CRISIS NOW AT HAND
GENERAL BELIEF OF
BLACK POLITICIANS
(By The Associated Negro Press)

10y 4u0 AS9OCldt6au 4N6STO IE0SSJ
Chicago, Ill.,! Aug. 1S.-There is a
crisis at HAND. Colored Americans
are halted between two opinions;
they are between the devil and the
deep blue sea-" The devil being the
Democrats, and the Blue Sea, the
Republicans. And the Republican
Ship that Fred. Douglass spoke about.
is having engine trouble.
One man said to the A. N, P. re-
preventative: Here are some practi-
cal suggestions. The men who have
stood sponsor for the party principles
should do like Bob Church, they
should shake the dust of Washington
from their feet, and go about their
business. 1t is not generally known,
but that is exactly what Church did,
and when the facts come out, he will
be more highly regarded as leader.
Church spent more than two
months in Washington When he saw
the trend Of things, he had long
and serious conference with President
Harding. When the President ex-
pressed his views. particularly on
matters of appointments in the South,
Church respectfully told the Presi-
dent that he could not be sponsor for
such a policy, and that until the
course changed. his address would be
Memphis, Tenn" Church went back
to his business.
Henry Lincoln Johnson should tell
the President that under the circum.
stances he does not care to be Re
corder of Deeds; Perry Howard
should resign as Special Assistant to
the Attorney General; Charles Cot
trill should return to his business in
Toledo, and Dr. ]. R. A. Grassland
should go back-t to Missouri and prac-
tice medicine.
Such a course would show the
Republicans that Colored Americans
cannot in this day and time be made
mere playthings. 1t would make
these men, and any like them, real
and not fancied leaders; if such 4
course is not pursued, and things
continue as now going, there will be
a revulsion by the people themselves,
that will not be stayed, and that will
surpass anything that has ever hap
pened in the Race. Things point
that way now.
