WHITE PRESS COMMENDS N. A.
A. c. p. VICTORY IN AR
KANSAS CASES

Two white newspapers, The St. Louis
Missouri, Post-Dispatch and the To-
ledo, Ohio, Times, commend the Su-
preme Courts reversal of convictions
of Arkansas poems, constituting VIC
tory for the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
which defended the men.
Says the Post-Dispatch editorially:
we dissent from the doctrine Of
Federal interference in state cases,
but there is some ground for satisfac-
ton in the action of the United States
Supreme Court, which remanded the
cases of Negroes convicted of partici-
ration in the Elaine (Ark.) riots. The
ground for remaAding was that the
Negroes were not given fair hearing.
Fourteen Negroes and FIVE white
men were killed in the rioting, which,
By nearly all accounts, was started by
the whites. The Arkansas formula in
such cases seems to consist in hanging
the Negroes who escaped the bullets.
The Toledo Times says, in an edi-
torial:
In ordering fair trials for FIVE Ne
groes under death sentence for MUIR
der, the Supreme Court holds that
where state has failed to protect the
constitutional rights Of american citi-
zens. ii is the duty Of the federal court
to intervene. Two dissenting judges
-McReynolds and Sutherlan d.
claimed that the effect of the decision
would be to delay the just punishment
of criminals, but will it? Isn't it more
likely TO spur state courts to conduct
trials fairly in order to avoid inter
ference on the part Of the federal
courts7
Still admitting the contention of
Justice McReynoIds, we fail to see why
It is sufficient grounds for the Supreme
Court to withhold the protection which
the constitution guarantees every
American citizen. The dissentinz
judges claim that it is the states duty
not the federal governments, to assure
> fair trial. Quite true, but what IL
the state neglects its duty: does that
neglect deprive the citizen Of his con
stitutional rights7 Colored citizens IN

THE BLACK NANNY MoNU
MENT

CoIored women all over the United
States stand aghast at the idea Of
erecting a black nanny monument
in the capital Of the United States
The condition Of the slave woman
was so pitiably, hopelessly helpless
that it is difficult to see how any wom-
an, whether white or black, could take
pleasure in marble statue to perpet-
nate her memory.
The black nanny had no home life.
In the very nature Of the case she
could have none. Legal marriage was
impossible for her. If she went
through a farce ceremony with a
slave man. he could be sold away from
her at any time, or she might be sold
from him, or she might be taken as
concubine by her master, his son, the
overseer or any other white man on
the place, who might desire her.
No colored woman could look upon
a statue of black nanny with a dry
eye when she remembered now often
the slave woman's heart was torn with
anguish because the children, either
Of her master or their slave father,
were ruthlessly torn from her in in
fancy or in youth to be sold down
the country" where, in all human
probability she would never see them
again.
The black NANNY was often faith
full in the service Of her MISTRESS chill
dren, while her heart bled over her
own little babies, who were thus de-
prived Of their mothers ministrations
and tender care, which the white chill
dren received. One cannot help but
marvel at the desire to perpetuate in
bronze or marble figure which repre-
sents so much that really is and should
