CONGRESSMAN |. C. DYER ADDRESSES
GREAT DENVER AUDIENCE
FEARLESS CHAMPION OF ANTI-LYNCHING
BILL GIVEN WONDERFUL OVATION

the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which
was killed in the Senate of the last
United States Congress.
He declared that it was killed by
a filibuster on the part of Southern
Senator's but that it would be brought
up by himself again at the next ses-
sion.'
At the colse of his stirring message
the applause and cheering continued
for fully five minutes. Congressman
Dyer has woven himself into the
hearts of Denver Negro citizens in a
manner, never to be forgotten. He is
rightfully the William Lloyd Garrison
of the present generation, fearless,
logical and immensely in earnest. He
was equally clear in depicting the
and colored races, reaching great
heights of pathos and tragedy at
times. The COLORADO STATESMAN
predicts abundant fruit as a result of
his visit as he won many friends
over to the cause of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People. In this connection we
are pleased to note that the Denver
Branch is regarded as one of the
strongest Branches in the country.
The editor feels constrained to offer a
word of praise to Geo. w. Gross who
has served continuously as president
since the Branch was founded eight
years ago by DR.. Clarence f. Holmes,
here on a vacation from Howard Uni
versity. Mr.. Gross has always thrown
his heart and soul in the work, and
surrounded by loyal group of fellow
workers has built up what must now
be recognized as a substantial Denver
institution. Wednesday nights meet

Sam Langford Adds
Another Title to

.Colored Fighter Downs
Champion of Spain in
Six Rounds

Mexico City, Mex, April 30.-(Pa-
cific News Bureau)-Sam Langford,
the veteran American Negro fighter of
twenty years ring activity, has within
the last thirty days acquired the titles
of heavyweight champion of Mexico
and Spain. A few weeks ago Kid Saw
age, the champion of Mexico, met de-
feat at the hands of the veteran Ne
gro. Last week the idol of Spain was
disposed of in the sixth round.
Before an immense audience in the
Ell Toreo bull ring, Sam Langford de-
feated Andream Balsa, the heavy
weight champion of Spain, in the sixth
round of what was scheduled to be a
finish fight. Langford received rous-
ing reception. Kid Savage was at the
ringside and issued a challenge to the
winner; however, from the neat man
sner in which Langford disposed of the
two champions there is but little hope
of return match or a likely candi-
date for Champion Langford.

passed the Walker bill requiring all Sc

a misdemeanor, punishable by fine

New York w Orld
Says, mo Wonder
Negro Is Leaving
South"

The New York World, in an editorial
published April "a. and forwarded by
the press service of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, comments on the migra-
tion northward of Negroes from the
South, and puts the blame not only on
economic conditions but on the treat
ment of Negroes by southern whites
The editorial in full is as follows:
The Negro Exodus
Some indication of the magnitude of
the Negro migration from South to
North may be gained from the report
of the Department of Agriculture that
13 per cent, or $4,000 of the Negro
farm hands of Georgia have come
North during the last year. The move
ment is continuous and growing, and
though Georgia is losing a much larg-
er proportion of her laborers than any
other state, the exodus is not local
or temporary affair. Every Southern
community is affected
From the point of view of the Negro
there is every reason for moving
North. Farm wages are low every
where; they are lowest of all in the
South. Socially and politically the Ne
gro enjoys much more freedom in the
North. Added to these incentives to
change are the discomfort of returned
colored troops with traditional living
conditions, the breakdown of the con-
tract-labor system, recenr crop fail
ures and general agricultural bank
ruptcy. On the whole, the wonder is
that the Negro did not walk out long
ago.
But if the South allows the emigra-
ton to proceed it will wake ut some
not far distant date to discover that
there is nobody left to work the plan
tations. The whole economic structure
of the South has rested upon class
of unskilled labor which is rapidly get
ting out from under Not socially,
economically or politically has the
South made it worth while for the Ne
gro to remain.

~HE Peoples Tabernacle at Goth

Il its own Wednesday night, as a
popular assembly hall, when Hon.
Leonidas C. Dyer, member of Congress
from Missouri and author of the
famed Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, de
livered remarkable address before
more than 1000 Denver citizens of the
white and colored races.
In fact his address was more than
remarkable in every way. 1t was the
frank, out-spoken sentiments of a
heart truly attuned to the sufferings
and injustices of a struggling race,
who have not as yet learned the les
son of organization and cohesiveness.
We believe it no eXaggeration to say
that in many respects it was the
greatest meeting of its character ever
held in Denver. With the combined
.choirs of every Negro church in Den
Yer forming chorus of one hundred
voices singing the national hymn,
America, and the great Negro national
hymn Lift every Voice and Sing"
with high church dignitaries, jurists
and state and city officials upon the
platform, the setting was complete for
a great gathering, and the Denver
Branch is to be commended for its
very completeness of detail. The meet
ing opened promptly at s S:15 with Dr.

patriotic rendition of the national air.
The invocation by the Rt. Rev. j.
Henry Then, Bishop of the Roman
Catholic Church, beautifully set forth
the Fatherhood of God and offered
the brotherhood of man as logical
accompaniment. 1t was the first time
that the eminent Catholic dignitary
has appeared before our group and his
simple impressiveness and earnest
ness brought to him many admiring
friends. Then followed a rendition of
Lift every Voice and Sing by the
chorus of 100 voices, that proved a
marvel of perfection and interpreta-
ton. Prof. Hewetson Watson has
long been regarded in Denver as a
premier musical director, but never
did his genius reveal itself with great

mentary contribution to this wonder
