The recital of the tragedies which

which have startled the civilized world

ment and the result will prove to be
beneficial to all parts of this counti )
The attempt of the Ku Klux Khan As
az organization to disavow responsi.
.bi.!ty has only emphasized the fact
that these murderous happenings are
absolutely ihdefensible.
Masks and paraphernalia, which
would make it possible for fiends to
hide behind this cloak of secrecy and
perpetrate outrages that would be a
disgrace to barbarians should be out
lawed. If the Ku Klux Khan desires to
continue it's existence, it would be
made to unmask. We do not know OF
anything, which has proven the need
more completely of measure like the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill than have
these bloody disclosures.
The measure should be withdrawn
from the committee and placed upon
the statute books of this country. In
addition, let the Congress pass con.
current jurisdiction just as it did in
the anti-liquor measure. Certainly, the
Saving of human life and the protec.
ton of the same is just as important

THAT RESPONSIVE RACIAL
FEELING.

We have always held that the time
would come WREN the colored people
of the Southland would realize in all
of its vividness that some of their
hest friends if not the best friends
among the white people of this section
resided below the Mason and Dixon
line. The right to vote would be pro-
tected by southern white people
against the onslaughts of some white
folks who live in the North We see or
think we see the beginning of the
dawn of this day
The following dispatch sent over the
country will be read with down-righ;
pleasure by colored people every
where:
Washington, Jan. g. An unusual tri-
butte was paid by the House today to
Representative Stedman, Democrat,
North Carolina, the only Confederate
veteran serving in th.t body, when he
rose to make a plea for favorable con-
sideration Of bill to permit the erect
ion in Washington of a monument to
the southern Negro Nanny"
The entire membership Republicans
and Democrats. cheered Mr.. Stedn.ar.
for several minutes when he began
and after he had praised the Negro
Nanny OF ante lellum days. he was
given another round of applause.
The bill would authorize the Dauyl-
tiers of the Cou:nderacy to erect tie
monument on government Owned
ground Mr.. Stedman painted the Ne.
gro Mammy's fidelity as without par.
allel in history, and declared the erect
ion OF monument would mark one of
the few times when a people had so
honored one OF another race living
among them.
Representative Stedman is the repre-
sentative of type of southerners, who
are growing sadly fewer, but their
sympathies and feelings have been
transmitted to their children, both
male and female God bless him. This
outburst has been followed by anoth
err. Here is the report;

gresham G. NJ. Stedman. OF the Fifth

the Confederate army, is asking Con.

colonel w. F. Beasley, Of Plymouth
is the advocate Of this plan. He told
the Associated Press that about 100 of
these faithful former slaves remain
alive In North Carolina and that the
cost of pension for them during the
remainder of their lives would not be
heavy drain on the treasury.

DOUBLE DRY PENALTIES"
The New York Times, in its issue OF
the 9th inst. says:

the Stn lnSt. says.
The full text of the opinion Of tho
Supreme Court delivered by Chief
Justice Taft on December II, holding
that punishment in State Court for
violation of a State prohibition statute

Court under the Federal law for tho
same offense. is printed in the January
l number of United States Supreme
Court Advance Opinions. The case
came up on writ of error by the
United States, which asked for the re-
yersal of an order of the District
Court for the Western District Of the
State Of Washington Diminishing five
counts Of an indictment charging man

ants filed a plea setting forth that
judgment had been entered against
each of them in a State Court under a
statute in force before the Eighteenth
Amendment went into effect and be.
fore the passage of the Volstead act.

that two punishments for the same
