1T PAYS TO FIHGT.
The Weeks Editorial: Colored Press
(From The Monitor, Omaha, Neb.)

Information that must prove crafty
ing to all right-minded Americans, anu
we believe them to be in the vast ma
jority, is that which relates to mob
murder or lynching which is the cry
ing disgrace of our country. The num-
Der of lynchings reported for the first
six months Of this year is five. This is
an amazing reduction from that OF
former years. Of course, this is five
too many in any civilized country, but
cit points hopefully to the fulflllment
of the dream of Negro newspapers OF
this country which were the first, mere
ly -" a voice crying in the wilderness
to begin the agitation against lynchine
Among the outstanding services of the
Negro newspaper in the United States
has been it's persistent agitation and
fight for forty years against lynchine
and mob violence. Gradually its feeble
voice was heard and here and there q
powerful daily raiseu it's voice against
this iniquity.
Then came that great organization
the National Association for the AID
vancement of Colored People. which
has consistently, uncompromisingly
and scientifically fought lynching for
tn, past decade by tremendous cam
paign of publicity and agitation for a
federal law The conscience Of the
country has been so aroused that there
has been a steady reduction of lynch
ing in the last few years 1t must not
be forgotten, however, that the Uniteo
States and all lovers of Americas good
name owe a debt Of gratitude to the Ne
gro press of the country and to the N
A. A. G. Pl for their work in redeem
ing America from this menace and
curse The work is not yet consummat
ed. There must be no cessation in this
fight until law and the orderly process
of the court shall be enthroned and
the lynching of any human being be
comes an impossibility in the United
States. The fact that the reproach oil
lynching is being gradually rolled
away emphasizes the fact that it pays
to fight in a righteous cause.
