Justice Advocated.

Certainly, there can be but one
mind on the questions at issue. There
can be no divided opinion about the
necessity of stamping out lynching
and mob violence of all kinds, wheth-
er directed against the Negro or the
white man. There can be no doubt
about the need for justice to the Ne
gro in education, in political life and
elsewhere. Agreement upon the
worthiness of aims should bring
agreement about the methods to be
pursued in accomplishing those aims.

discussion, a careful weighing of all

An Opportunity In q Race Conference
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
which will open its annual conference
in Kansas City, Kan, tonight, has at
its command the means to accomplish
an immense service to both races in
America. The association is the most
powerful organization now at work
for the uplift of the Negro in this
country. With all of its moves and
policies in this effort in the past
there can hardly be unanimous agree
ment. But there is evidence that the
association, through able leadership,
is heading toward a worthy goal and
is ready to be guided both by the
lessons OF experience and the best
counsel of today in the numerous
tasks it expects to undertake.
Prominent Persons Speak.
The questions up for discussion at
the local gathering are far-reaching
in Importance. They are of vital
concern to both races in all parts of
the country. Therefore the best
thought of both races ought to be
dominant in the proceedings. The
expectation, no doubt, will be met.
The men and women who are to
speak here represent various points
of view and lines of activity. They
have an intelligent grasp of racial
questions. What they have to say
and the conclusions the conference is
to reach will be noted with unusual
interest.
