URGES PASSAGE
OF DYER BILL.

Springfield. Mass, June s.-'Afuch
has been made by the American peo-
pie OF the horrors perpetrated by the
Germans during tn late World war.
record Of German outrages during the
war which ca mot De matched in
blood-curdllng horror by what may be
found in the record of lynching in
the United States"
In these terms Rev. DR.. William
N. DeBerry pastor OF ST. Johns Con-
gregational church. delivered Sc
yer arraignment OF mob action
against the Negro and the apparent
recrudescence OF lynching from num-
erous recent reports In the course of
his sermon at the church.
He called upon all lovers Of law and
order In the country to unite In
stamping out this evil which rests
"a blight over the southern states.
The loyalty Of the Negro as an Am
cream citizen had been unquestioned
and without exception throughout his
tory and had been proven again by
the Negro regiments in the World
war. II was the "terrors and tortures"
Of lynching, however, that tend to
goad the race into a mood and mo-
ment indicative revenge" Heaven de-
liver us. all from such mood and
moment"
During the past two weeks pres
ent dispatches have given to the pub
nc the narrowing accounts Of four
lynchings Of Negroes in the states
Of Georgia and Texas" Rev. Dr. De-
Berry opened his references to the
question; Nothing. Il would seem,
could afford more conclusive proof OF
the urgent need Of the immediate
passage OF the Dyer anti-lynching
bill, now pending action by the United
States Senate than the shocking details
of these lynchings as given by the
press.
Much has been made by the Amer
lean people OF the horrors perpetrated
by the Germans during the late World
War. The unspeakable crimes of the
Huns were cited as the evidence OF
the failure OF German civilization and
the absolute moral depravity OF the
people who were capable OF such
crimes. But there is nothing In the
whole record Of German outrages dur
ing the war which cannot be matched
In blood-curdlIng horror by what may
be found in the record OF lynching In
the United States. 1t should be re-
membered also that the outrages OF the
Germans were committed during war
and perpetrated upon aliens; but the
outrages OF American lynchers are
committed during peace and perpe-
trated upon American citizens.

DR.. Motion Speaks at
Dedication Of Lin
coin Monument.
lBy A. N. P.l

Washington, ID. c.. June 8.-Dr. n.
r. Motion, principal of Tuskegee In
stitute, represented Colored America,
at the notable dedication OF the great
Day. DR. Motion shared honors with
President Harding. Chief Justice Taft.
and Robert T. Lincoln. the only sur
yiving son of the matyred president.
Lincoln did not die for the Negro
alone, but upon that race rests the
immediate obligation to Justify eman-
cipation, DR.. Robert r. Motion, of Tus-'
kegee Institute, declared in his adj
dress.
mo one is more sensible than the
Negro himself of his homogeneous po-
sition in the great American republic"
DIR. Motion said, but be Ii recorded
to his everlasting credit nc failure
to reap the full reward of his sacri-
fices has never in the least degree
qualified his loyalty or cooled his pa
triotic fervor."
Summarizing the educational and
economic progress of the race in the
last century. the speaker expressed
IL as his opinion that the Negro has
gone far to justify his emancipation
and the nation where such achieve
ment Is possible is fully worthy or
heroic sacrifice.
There is no question that Lincoln
died to save the union," he declared,
t'and IL is equally true that to the
last extremity he defended the right
of States, but when the last veteran
has stacked his arms and only the
memory of high courage and deep de-
votion remains to inspire noble sons
of valiant fathers-the united voice
of grateful posterity will say that
the greatest of Lincoln lies in this
that he spoke the word that gave
freedom to a race.
"Twelve million black Americans
share the rejoicing of this day. To
Lincoln above all others we owe the
privilege of sharing as fellow citizens
in the conservation of this spot"
Greatest President.
Lincoln was no super man. President
Harding asserted. s1.ike Washington,
Lincoln was very natural human
being, with the frailties mixed with
the virtues of humanity"
There was applause when the Pres
ident continued "There are neither
supermen nor demigods in the govern
ment of Kingdoms, empires or re-
publics. 1t will be better for our
conception of government and its in
stitutions IL we will understand this
fact" And again there was applause
when he added, at Is vastly gre0 ter
than finding the super man II we jucti-
fy the confidence thGe our institutions
are capable of bringing into authority,
in time of stress. men big enough and
strong enough to meet all demanc >,

of our presidents.

wants of humanity. w. S. WINS has
done this for Texas; he is still doing
this. 1t Is a mighty accomplishment
and one well deserving of all the
honor and alteration grateful people
can bestow."
Tumuituous applause followed the
conclusion of his remarks. 1t had
hardly died away before the ap-
pearance OF the Grand Chancellor In
response to them caused its renewal
The Grand Chancellor Speaks.
In his deliberate, yet highly elo-
quent way. Grand Chancellor Willis
responded to the Introductory remarks
Of DR.. Walton by telling an anecdote
in which the words Tin statue quo"
were used with telling effect to the
great delight of the audience.
His remarks were descriptive of the
progress of Pythianism during the
past year, particularly mentioning the
membership drive, He spoke OF 1t
thus: tOften as / have gone about
the state preaching the doctrine of
going out into the highways and by
ways--yes--even into the gutter and
of bringing into the folds Of our great
Order those men who were found
there, / have been criticized. Some
have said, such men as these have
no right within our Castle Hall: they
should not be admitted To such as
these l have said even as L now say:
the church of Almighty God which is
admittedly the greatest institution of
improvement which now operates for
the betterment of the world, seeks to
save all which are lost. The most
wasted life the well nigh ruined
soul, the most despicable character to
be found in the filthiest gutter of any
city is welcome in its fold. The COM
ing of such q one is an occasion of
much rejoicing. Why then should a
fraternal Order place itself above the
Church of God? Can 1t not AFFORD to
be even more generous? Certainly 1t
seems to me that II may reach out
even into the gutter and get these
men and improve them. 1 urge you
all to stand by your fraternal Orders.
Support them and verify say unto
these fraternal Orders will stand by
YOU" He spoke of the loan to Paul
Quinn College of $4,000 and of the
fact that now in the treasury Of the
Pythians there was $211.00O in cash
without a single cent of debt hanging
over the Temple in Dallas, a building
whose value is $250,000.
The Grand Chancellor concluded his
remarks with fitting tribute to the
splendid work OF the Court of Ca
lanthe introducing Mrs. A. d. Key,
Grand Worthy Counsellor who spoke
briefly of the work of the Calanthian
Court. Much applause greeted her
statement that the treasury of the
Calanthians contained $4,000.
Rev j. W. McDade was called upon
to welcome the Grand Lodge in be-
half Of the city IN place OF the Mayor
who was absent. He responded briefly
to the invitation again referring to
the G, C's anecdote of I'm statue
quo"
Rev McDade's speech was followed
by a very pleasing rendition of In
flammatus" by the choir of St Paul
church.
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1922-06-10

Fitting response to the welcome on
behalf of the Order was made
by Hon. B. r. Wallace Of Palestine.
After a selection by the choir of Mt.
Zion Baptist church. particularly
pleasing and well phrased address on
behalf Of the local lodges and Courts
was delivered by Mrs ID. e. STONE
bralser Of San Antonio. Her remarks
were followed by music by the choir

Clement Richardson, who has made
an excellent record as President Of
Lincoln University. during the pest
four years, was asked to resign be-
cause of the fact he failed to extel
the virtues of the Grand Old Party
when making public educational ad-
dresses.
In former years politics have been
placed to some extent at the state
school, always to the detrlment of
that institution. 1t was the practice
Of the various presidents to refrain
as far as possible from taking any
part in politics. The Colored citizens
have not favored the school being
made a foot ball by politicians, nor
was this the desire Of Richardson, q
