QUEER, ISN'T 1T?

Isn't it queer that everyman who
took part in the dedication of the
Lincoln memorial at Washington,
and made speech lauding the work
of the Great Emancipator, has been
guilty of doing something to nullify
the results of emancipation? Hard
ing in his speeches in the South last
fall pronounced curse upon the col
ored people, Taft, the gent with the
jellyfsh backbone, in. his inaugural
address announced that no colored
men would be appointed to office in
the South, Motion who says and does
just what his white masters order
has naturally retarded the develop
ment of real manhood in those of the
race who have been under his inf1u-
ence. Il

THE BRAzlLlANs ARE WARY

At the Des Moines general assem-
bly, Of the Presbyterian churches
overt and open attacks upon native
workers were charged in the report
which quoted. from minutes of the
Brazilian mission 'that the Roman
Catholic church has officially de-
clared guerra sem treguas' (wa1
without quarter) against Protestant
ism in Brazil"
The majority Of the people of Bra
zil are colored African and Indian
and it is likely that the intelligentsia
realize that if any kind Of Protest
antism gets a foothold in Brazil, it
will mean the degradation and segre-
cation which white Protestant Chris
tianity has brought to the colored
people Of the U. IS. "A. "

A Necessary Law.

That recent outbreak of mob law.
lessness in Texas, Of which four Ne.
groes were victims, ought to have
some influence to expedite action
upon the proposed anti-lynching law
that has been long pending in the
congress. - =
There is not the slightest indication
that authorities in Texas will raise a
hand or lift a finger to bring to JUS
tlce the perpetrators of the horrible
crime. The three Negroes who were
burned to death protested their inno-
cence to the last. The fourth Negro
was hanged on suspicion" Presum-
ably he, too, declared himself inno-
cent, but as to that nothing is said.
These lynchings would not be the
less criminal if the guilt Of the vic
tins had been proved, for the law
prescribes penalties for all crimes,
and they can be legally inflicted only
after conviction through due process
of law. -> ...... -
But the Texas authorities are DOW
erless or unwilling to act to bring
penalty of the law upon the members
Of the mob that committed those
murders. '.. i.
The law which is pending in the
congress is designed to be applied to
just such cases as this. When state
authorities permit lawlessness or are
powerless to prevent it, it is proper
tor the federal government to inter-
fere. -" ~ -,
The bill has passed the House. The
Senate should not longer delay action
upon it. That the President will sign
it is virtually certain. Albany IN.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE

Arthur Brisbane of the Hearst
newspapers says: ri .g
''Dispatches late yesrady said that
Mr.. Hall, running for governor in
Oregon, backed by the Ku Klux Khan,
was running behind. But whoever
underestimate the power of such an
organization as the Ku Klux Khan or
of other secret organizations fails to
understand that what Fourier called
the capitalistic' instinct. in man is
overwhelmingly powerful.
To know something that other do
not. know, to be part of deep mys-
terry to be set apart and made
strange by clothing, passwords, grips
and n1utterings, appeals strongly to
all half-savage men. All this re-
ligious leaders have used intelligent-
ly in building their organizations"
Catholics, Jews and colored folks
would do well to keep their eyes on
the K. K. K.

Attention! Aim!
(From the Crisis. y

This coming November, thirty
three senator's are to be elected. So
Tar as we know at present. only one
OF the senator's whose terms expire
will not stand for reelection. What
we must do is to bring more pressure
friendly, yet firm, on Republican
senator's, letting them know that thew
cannot expect Negro votes unless
they do everything in their power tn
pass the Anti-lynching Bill. Nail
them to that one issue. - -
Send telegram or letter to yo1r
Republican senators calling attention
to the following facts:
l. The Republican party platform.
adopted June 10, 1920, pledged itself
to congressional action against lynch
ing in these words: eve urge con-
gress to consider the most effective
means to end lynching in this country
which continues to be a terrible blot
on American civilizations" e.. !
2. President Harding in his first
message to congress, on April IL,
1921, further solemnly pledged the
administration to u end lynching by
saying: Congress ought to wipe the
stain of barbaric lynching from the
banners of a free and orderly repre-
sentative democracy" H.,
3. The House Of representatives
on January 26, 1922, passed the Dyer

Emphasize these facts upon both
senators, telling them that every col
ored voter in the state is looking to
the Republicans in.the Senate to pass
the bill, thus carrying out the plat
form pledge of the party and acting
in accordance with the specific re-
quest of the President. Let them
know that colored voters can do Moth
ing less than hold the Republican
party to blame if the bill is not acted
upon or is defeated. Make your let
tiers specific. Let the tone be courte-
GUS, but firm and unequivocal.
Take Michigan, for example: Sen
ator Charles E.. Townsend is up for
reelection. He has openly put him.

Anti-lynching Bill He is opposed by
Congressman Patrick J. Kelley, the
only Michigan representative who
voted against the Dyer bill. Kelley
IS progressive" new thought and
all that, but, Michigan Negroes,
VOTE FOR TOWNSEND!
Moreover do not forget the Demo
cratic senator's, North and South; re-
mind them gently but clearly that it
would be very poor politics to let the
world assume that the Democratic
party is the party of lynchers. Sug-
gest that the way to split the North
ern Negro vote is to pass the Dyer
bill with or without their Republican
colleagues help.
When you have done what is out
lined above, get other organizations
and individuals, particularly political
organizations, to send similar mes
sages. The situation is serious! Act
now! We have got to put this over
and we can do it only through united
effort and action.

Str. TOcotna Aground E
 Few Miles Down River

Whilst proceeding to Bethel yester- morning. under forced draft, the steamer Tacotna ran aground on Moon shine bar, about fifteen miles south of McGrath. Commodore Bugge, who was resting easy at the time, ordered lifeboats to be lowered, and the lady passengers, as we'll as Attorney Charles E.. Taylor, of Iditarod, were placed therein. Soundings then taken by Chief Officer Frederlcks showed the good ship, resting in four inches of water.
 s. o. S.ssignals giving the ships DO. sition were sent out. In response, the power boat Thor rushed to the rescue and, though Captain Frank Larson worked indefatigably for several hours, 1t was found impossible to budge Miss Tocotna,
 Wireless Operator Ike Hayes, of the steamer Tana, also picked up the call, so Captain Langley dispatched his life- savers to the scene. On arrival they found 8 ''pan' game in full swing, as Commodore Bugge had decided to wait for rain. Charlie Taylor deserted the ship, coming back on the.
