From North Carolina
CAROLINA GOVERNOR
DEFENDS HIS STATE

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Reports
that Mathew Bullock, negro, who is
fighting extradition from Canada,
would be lynched if returned to Nor
lima, N. c., to, face charge of at
tempted murder today were charac-
terized as infamous SANDER of the
state" by Governor Cameron Morri-
son, who is in New York on official
business.
"There is absolutely no danger OF
Bullock being lynched if returned to
my state" said Governor Morrison.
Nobody in North Carolina is lynched
when the authorities have warning.
Lynchings' occur only when relatives
and friends of outraged persons deal
with offenders before officials can
act. Negroes and whites receive the
same treatment in such cases"
He declared that if Canada refused
to honor the requisition of the state
of North Carolina Endorsed b. Secre-
tary of State Hughes, then he was
through" with the whole business.
He could do no more, he said.

Canada seems to me-" the governor
aQQeu, uIlu9I lIlS treaty ODlISctt1OIlS
as interpreted at Washington, to be a
petty judicial matter rather than one
of high diplomacy"
Referring to reports that North
Carolina was one of several states
seeking to defeat the anti-lynching
bill, Governor Morrison said:
81 challenge the entire country to
show any state that is doing more
for the intellectual and moral devel-
opment of the colored race than is
my state We are spending more
money to educate them, to promote
their health and make them efficient
in industry than any state of like
wealth and population in the nation
''In that challenge include New
York with its murderous gunner,
white and black, and Illinois with it's
race riots. We have fewer bad
negroes or 1awless whites than any
state Of it's size in the union"

The White House.

Washington, Oct. z, 1918.
Dear Mr.. President: Since re-
turned every bit of information
that comes to me is along one
line, and that is, that an agree
ment in which the kaiser is to
play the smallest part will be
looked upon with grave suspi-
cion, and I believe it's results will
be disastrous. In my opinion it
will result in the election of a
Republican house and the weak
ening, if not impairing, of your
influence throughout the world.
[ am not on the inside, and so
L do not know, but I am GER
tain that Lloyd George and
Clemenceau will take full ad-
vantage of this opportunity in
declaring that, 50 far as they are
concerned, they are not going
to sit down at the council table
with William II, and you may
be put in position before the
world by your acceptance of
these conditions of seeming to
be sympathetic with the kaiser
and his brood.
May not Germany be succeed
ing in splitting the allies by this
offer just as Talleyrand sue
ceeded at the congress of Wen
ma, in splitting the allies, who
had been victorious over Napo-
leon? You cannot blot out the
record you have made in your
speeches, which in every word
and line showed a distrust of
this particular autocracv with
which you are now asked to
deal. Have you considered the
possibility that as soon as Ger
many read your New York
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-02-28

speech of September 27, know
ing, as they did, that it was
ther palatable' to the allies
nor in accordance with that
which they had hitherto stood
for, promptly accepted your at
titude as a means of dividing
the entente at critical moment
and robbing her of the benefits
Of the military triumph? Did
not Talleyrand do the very same
thing to them, as the represen-
tative of defeated France, when
he sided with Russia and Prus-
STA as against England, and
thus made possible the return
of Napoleon?
I realize the great responsible
ity that rests upon the presi-
dent. In any other matter. not
so vital as this, you could be
wrong and time would correct
it, but in a thing like this,
when you are dealing with a
question which goes to the very
depths of international action
and world progress, you are
at the parting OF the ways. If
you wish to erect a great struc-
ture Of peace, you must be sure
and certain that every brick in
it, that every ounce of cement
that goes in it, is solid and last
ing. and above all, you must pre-.
serve your prestige for the big
ger moments to come. Sincere
ly.
