DYER'S ANTI-LYNCHING
BILL PASSAGE IS URGED
Former virginian Says he BOWS
Head in Shame Over Atrocities
of Southland.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS a former virginian. like Mrs
Juliette ". Harring. l have bowed
nv head in shame of the atrocities OF
the southland.
years ago as an alien to teach school
After a residence for some time
renounced my allegiance to nei
majesty, Queen Victoria, and be-
came an American citizen. hoping 20
enjoy all the rights and privileges
guaranteed by the Constitution. the
magma charta of the American gov
ernment. q.
AS stranger in a strange land
of about two months, was
awakened one morning by loud taik-
ing ofApeople in whose home l was
boarding. A strange word was ring
ing in my ears. 1t was that a negro.
who had become familiar with a
white woman. had been lynched. l
had not become acquainted with the
word and l was at loss to know
what it meant.
Wishing to. know the meaning of
this strange word, I inquired of my
landlord what was lynching. He in
formed me that it was the murder
ing of person by a mob. the mob
assuming unlawfully the duty of
Judge and jury, as in court of law
1 was astounded at such proceed
ings; that such crime should exist
in a civilized state.
AS the town, as 1 learned, was all
excitement over the affair, and that
the people were going to the scene
of the lynChing. l, too, fastened to
the cemetery. where l viewed the
victim of the mob hanging by the
neck from an apple tree. He was
gagged, his clothes torn and his skin
lacerated and bruised by the stones
over which he had been dragged.
The sight sent cold chills through
me. l saw him many nights after
in my dreams. 1t was scene I shall
never forget; and yet all, except the
members of the victims race, pratt
tied and giggled as if nothing uh-
usual had happened!
Later in the day the body of the
victim was cut down, and the cor
oner's jury rendered a verdict that
the victim had come to his death at

When men by whom the law is
enacted for the betterment of the
community, fail to uphold 1t, and
become violators of the code under
which society in the state is to be
governed. then the general govern
ment should step forward and vindi-
cate the order Of civilization and
pass such bill as the Dyer anti
lynching bill. whether it is thought
by pettifoggers to be constitutional
or not Human rights are sunerior
to state rights.
Mrs. Harring is to be commended
for the stand she has taken in her
letter. and it is hoped the clergy and
the women will do as she suggests.
