ARE THEY WHITE OR
ARE THEY cOLORED7

Jacksonville, Fla.-Mr. Lewis R.
Sails has just succeeded in getting a
mandamus against DR.. Hathaway. Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction, and
the Board of Instruction, compelling
them to re-admit his children to Ar
hngton school or answer the reason
why. His three children-Clara, IL
years old; Gladis. 9 years old, and
Lewis r. Jr., years-were attending
the Arlington school until parents of
other children made complaint that
these three were not white. According
to Florida law if an individual has
more than one-eighth of blood other
than white he cannot be classified as
white. Mr.. Sails argument was that
he himself was of Minorcan descent
but seven-eighths white, his wife was
a full blooded white person, and that
therefore his children had less than
one-eighth of blood other than white
and had a right to attend the school.
(The Minorcans are the inhabitants of
Minorca, one of the Balearic Islands
located in the Mediterranean, north of
Africa and east of Spain. The Minor
cans have a considerable infusion of
African blood) The officials insisted
that the children were mot considered
white" and should not attend Airing
ton school.

Lynch Law Must Go"
Is Slogan

Lynch Law Must Go" is the slogan
of the Spring Drive of the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Colored People, which opened Mon
day, April "A, and eliminated in an
anti-lynching conference in Newark,
N. J., from June Is to q.
The entire weight of the Associa-
tons forces throughout the United
States is to be applied in an organized
pressure toward the enactment by the
Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill, H. R. Is, already passed by the
House of Representatives.
There is no doubt felt IN the Ma
tional Office of the N. A. A. c. P. that
President Harding will sign the meas
ure If and when the Senate enacts It.
In fact, the Presidents signature is
looked upon as a foregone conclusion.
The N. A. A. c. P. campaign on the
Dyer Bill has already been begun IN
two states, Michigan and New Jersey,
where local elections are made to
hinge on that issue
Colored voters and the press
throughout the country are being
asked to make it clear that the Repub-
Ecan party viii be held responsible for
non-performance of its duty and its
pledge to pass some such legislation as
the Dyer Bill
Secretary JoEnson's Statement
In opening the N. A. A. c. P. Spring
Drive, James Weldon Johnson, secre-
tary of the association, said:
The Dyer Bill was passed in the
House of Representatives because col
ored people in the United States
worked together for that end. 1t will
be passed in the Senate for the same
reason.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People be-
Eeves that the Dyer Bill is an excellent
object lesson IN the value of working
together. If we can accomplish so
much in one direction, we can in others
as well. Therefore, we want active,
enthusiastic members. If half mil
lion eolored Americans join the N. A.
