AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Early Sunday morning the Ameri-
lies began assembling in front of the
Old Trails Garage for the picnic out
ing at Chavez Pass and by o'clock
i've car loads were leaving.
Among the tall pines in a beauti-
ful spot, basket lunch was spread
about 1 o'clock and by four all the
ruins Of the ancient indian dwelling
had been explored. The cold spring
water being tested by all. Many
indian arrow-heads and pieces of
ancient pottery were picked up and
brought back as souvenirs.
It was a very enjoyable occasion
and will be long remembered by all.
The Legion had a very narrow
escape of being inveigled in a polit-
ical squabble. Fortunately the for
sight and keeping the purpose of
the Legion on its members mind, we
have averted the serious break in
our faith. The best man shall win,
but the Legion will not indorse any
one candidate for any kind of jobs,
They will keep faith with the ideals
that politics do not belong in the
American Legion. Justice, Freedom
and Democracy is the motto of our
organization.
Comrades, remember your obliga-
tions, do not let any one mislead
you.
Our next regular meeting, August
IA, Monday, 8 p. M, Masonic Hall.
All come.

This leaves but one cause for the
sudden indignation of our big daily:
the victims were white. The paper
even ventures that if Louisiana fails
in this case there will be a demand
that the central government take a
hand in the exercise of the police
power of the states. And this, too,
following an editorial denouncing the
Dyer bill as an usurper Of the police
power of the states!
Opinion of this sort is Of little
value except as filler. If the Dis.
patch, or any other paper wishes tc
be believed sincere by thoughtful
readers, black and white, it will
condemn all lynchings, regardless OF
the color of the victim, for the sole
reason that all mobs challenge gov.
eminent under law and "set the reigr

XII KLuX. CALLED
INSULT TO VIII 1 TIES
White Southern Editor Says Soldier
Dead in France indicate Ameri-
canism Of Coiored Man.

The Ku Klux Khan is being repudi-
ated in the South, according to
extracts from an editorial Of the
Greensboro, North Carolina, Daily
News, of December 18th, made public
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 70
Fifth avenue, New York.
|The existence of the Ku Klux is
an insult to the white race" says the
editorial. ut is an admission that
we cannot defend ourselves except by
towards weapons.
"And when that order breaches the
poisonous doctrine that the colored
people are not entitled to the rights of
fair trial in open court and to the
equal protection of the laws, because
he is not 100 per cent American, we
think of those huddled crosses IA the
moonlight by one of the rivers OF
France. And when officials of the
government ally themselves with that
order, nay, when judge on the bench
charged with the sacred administra-
ton of justice, will not deny that he
is the head of that reptilian order, we
think of those graves in France. And
our impulse is not one of pity for the
colored people, for the colored people
have indicated themselves. Our
fear is for the nation that threatens
to abandon it's own dead. God help a
country that could be so vile!"

A HORSE OF ANOTHER COLOR

The double mob murder at Mer
Rouge, La. is a "ghastly incident
and an "atrocity" according to the
editorial writer's of the St. Paul Dis
patch. It is gratifying TO know
definitely what the Dispatch thinks
of lynching, but it is rather odd that
it's writer's should have waited this
long to express themselves. The
mystery is now solved.
Compared to any one of dozen
lynchings readily called to mind the
Mer Rouge episode fails to measure
up. as an "atrocity." Georgia, Ala
bama and Texas mobs have set the
atricity standard too high. The two
men were merely murdered and
thrown into a lake. Hundreds Of
colored men have been shot, burned
and disembowelled without eliciting
a peep from the Dispatch. When two
colored men were lynched within a
week in Florida the Dispatch did not
solemnly affirm that Florida twill be
in disgrace with the sisterhood of
states until it vindicates justice and

Chicago Woman Named
Assistant Prosecutor

Chicago, Ill.,, Dec. Chicago
may point to itself with pride as
the city having the first colored
woman as assistant prosecuting at
torney. Miss Violette N. Anderson
has received the appointment, to take
effect January l.
The honor to Miss Anderson comes
in direct line with the pronounced
part women of both races are playing
in political and civic affairs through
out the country. One woman has
been elected to state supreme court,
another has been appointed a federal
district attorney by Attorney General
Daugherty. In the recent elections a
coiored woman was a candidate on
the Farmer-Labor ticket for secre-
tary of state, and just last week a
woman who campaigned only two
days came within six votes of being
elected an alderman in the city Of
Mound Bayou, Miss.
Miss Anderson conducted a court
reporting agency for a number of
wears. This work took her into va
rious courts of the state. She began
the practice of law in 1919. She is
today the first and only woman of
her race in active practice before the
Illinois bar.

feat Of this bill, I was the author of
the Calm bill, introduced by. Con-
gresham Calm of Cleveland, Ohio,

introduced with a view to forcing the
proponents Of the Dyer bill to en-
couch certain fundamental features

before the judiciary committee of the
House for hearing.

Bitter Attack on Du Bots, john

Of December 8, charging that I de-
feated the anti-lynching bill.
those responsible for this release for
disjointing my letter and leaving out
certain parts, which was intended to
make it distasteful. No honorable
man would do this; and I challenge
them to publish the letter in it's en-
tirety.
First. I want to say that any
statement or intimation that in any
wise, directly or Indirectly, defeated
or contributed to the defeat Of the
anti-lynching bill is a lie, and there
is not sane man in the country who
believes this, including the man or
men who released the article so
charging.
Second. The reference to the Lii
erian loan is innuendo, and, there
fore. unworthy of notice.
It is we'll known by the author of
his release that for two years I
have worked necessarily, together
with other friends, to get an anti
lynching bill on the federal statutes;
and instead of appreciation and CO.
-peration on the part of Mr.. James
Weldon Johnson, our efforts were re-
sented by him because it was inter-
fering with his one aim, and that is
to exploit his Importance and keep in
the limelight. I have every reason to
believe that he would prefer that the
bill be not passed if it will in any
wise dim the luster of his vanity or
self-exploitation. ~.
Our activities for the anti-lynch-
ing bill, or any other movement, have
been consistently opposed by Mr..
Johnson and Mr.. Dubois with his
"Crisis," which he has freely used to
belittle and minify our activities in
every way. ..:~ - 80: .,-~. 49,

action towards Senator Du Pont, who
was defeated through the activities of
the N. A. A.iC. P. and whose friend
ship for and fidelity to us have never
been questioned, and in his stead they
elected a. senator who already has
voted with the Democrats, on every
