these methods. A subsequent ucquittal,
N a measure repairs the damage done,
but there are thousands Of people, who
read the charge, who will never notice
the acquittal for the very good reason
that newspapers will give column Of
space to tho charge and about three
lines Of space to the acquittal.
We make this settlement as matter

John L. Phillips is branded as being
guilty before he has been accorded m
opportunity to say one word in his own
defense. THIS has always been tho

the department .of Injustice. We
realize that Mr.. Phillips has nothing
in common for the Negroes of this or
any other southern State. He is head
and shoulders OF the whiteman's Re.
publican Party. But he knows now the
Kind of injustice to which colorcd
