ASKS FOR MATCH
is GIVEN ROPE AND
DEATH INSTEAD

Warren Lewis, a young boy OF l8
years, went to the kitchen OF a white
woman and asked for match to light
a cigarette. She saw the man and
screamed-it came to her mind that
she would like to witness a lynching
and she made outcrys. The moment
a white woman opens her mouth in
this section and a black man is around
its taken for granted that the white
angel has been attacked"
When she opened her mouth, that
was enough for the "lynching party
to take place. Crackers took out after
him with guns and rifles. The boy
was soon overtaken. No time was
given to have him appear in oper
court. They make you confess dowr
here.
White Ministers Attend
Before he was hanged, they made
him make a speech, advising all black
people to stay in their place, bow to
the white man and be good workers. u
Warren was then tied to a tree and
hanged. The white ministers of the
town of Dacus, Texas, the physicians
and leaders in white Sunday schools
attended the hanging and returned
home as jubliant as coming from a
Methodist picnic.
Another Exodus North
No effort was made to apprehend
the lynchers. The report is that ex-
peet TO have another in the next
month. In the meantime many of the
black are taking the trains north where
they are wanted to work in the mills
at Gary, Ind, and other sections.

STREET CAR
MAN CUT ON
STATE STREET

Jesse German, $3.50 South Green
Street, street car conductor on the
State Street line, was shot and killed
Monday evening at 5 o'clock by Morris
Fuller, 2404 Wabash Avenue, following
an alteration over payment of fare.
After shooting German, Fuller made his
escape from the crowded car followed
by passengers who witnessed the shoot
ing, fleeing east on 29th Street and hid
ing in an alley back of St. James
Catholic Church, where he was held at
bay until officers arrived and took him
into custody, German being taken to
Michael Reese Hospital, dying while
on the way.
Stories Differ
The stories of those who viewed the
shooting vary. Some assert that the
conductor was abusive in his language
and made move as if to reach for
weapon, thus causing Fuller to think
that he was going to be attacked 9th
ers declare that Fuller was unduly SEN
sitiye and was making an attempt to
evade payment of his fare Others are
of the opinion that Fulers anger was
aroused first by the fact that the car was
started before those who were waiting
could board the car, which practice
seems to the rule of conductors while
their cars are passing through the black
belt

History Explains

I'm the domain OF civilization it
must, of course, be admitted that other
races, with the possible exception OF
the Mongoiian, have not produced
civilizations in all respects comparable
TO our own, and even the Monaghan
does not qualify when science and in
dustry are taken INTO consideration.
But an insight into the characteristics
OF the historic process makes it more
than doubtful whether any but purely
historical causes need be invoked to
account for the differences in the civili-
cations between different peoples. 1t
must, moreover, be remembered that
in just those particulars in which white
man is incomparably superior to print
tive races he IS also superior 10 the
civilizations OF the ancient world. such
as those of Egypt Greece and Rome.
Must Cooperate
"By far the most difficult aspect OF
the Negro problem refers TO the Negro
populations outside OF Africa, pri-
marily in the United States. There
can be no question that complete legal
emancipation is desirable, necessary,

not readily be dslodged Here the
work will be tedious, painful and pro-
longed. II will not be achieved with
out whole hearted and self-sacrihcing
cooperation on the part of the white
and the Negro alike. But if both
groups assume their share OF rcspon-
sibility, their ultimate success in this
domain also cannot be doubted"
