SOTH MILESTONE
Colored People Over Country
Send Messages to
President.

Moorfield Storey, President of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People, who
celebrated his S0th birthday on
Thursday, March 19, received numer-
Gus kilograms from N. A. A. G. p.
members and branches and colored
people in all parts of the country,
expressing good wishes to one of the
staunchest friends the Negro race
has had in America.
Ms. Storey became identified in his
youth with the great abolitionist fight
against slavery. He was Secretary
to Charles Sumner from 1857 to
1869. His association with the
greatest champion the Negro ever
had in the Senate. has been followed
by long life of devotion to the cause
of race justice. In. addition, Mr..
Storey has been one of the most dis
tinguished members of the bar in the
United States, being Editor of the
American Law Review, an overseer
of Harvard College, President of the
Massachusetts, Reform Club, Presi-
dent of the Boston, Massachusetts,
and American Bar Associations and
author of a life of Charles Sumner
besides numerous other works and
pamphlets.
Fighter and Worker.
Mr.. Storey has been President of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People since
its beginning and has not only given
generously of his means, but has
fought and won a number of its most
important cases affecting race rela-
tions before the United States Su-
preme Court. He appeared in the
case by which the grandfather claus
es disfranchising Negroes in south
ern States were declared unconsti-
tutional; won the Louisville Segra-
CATION Case of 1917, by which seq
regation by State or City ordinance
was declared unconstitutional; won
the case of the Arkansas farmers be-
fore the Supreme Court, causing the
Supreme Court to reverse the atti-
tude it had taken in the Leo Frank
case and to declare that trial by due
process of law means a trial free of
mob domination. Mr.. Storey in spite
of his advanced age is still active in
the cause of justice for the Negro.
He is about to go to Washington to
argue still another segregation case,
this one involving segregation by
agreement among white property
owners in the District of Columbia,
which the N. A. A: c. p. has appealed
to the Supreme Court and which will
probably be heard this April. and has
Just agreed to serve as associate
counsel in a case involving the dis
franchisement of Negroes through
the white Primary in the South.
Favorable decisions in these two vital
cases will profoundly affect both the
Negro and the country at large.

RIGHTS
LEAGUE FLAYS
DAWES VIEWS
William Monroe TrOtter of BOs-
ton Writes Open Letter to
Vice-President.

Boston, Mass, July 10.-The Ma
tional Equal Rights League has sent
an "open letter" to General Dawes
taking exception to his announced
willingness to give up his reform on
Senate rules for such measures as
the Dyer anti-lynching bill and such
others as the South claimed invaded
States rights. The league asks
whether General Dawes represents
Republican policies and whether this
anti-lynching bill is simply a bait.
The letter is as follows:
Letter to Dawes.
Dear Sir: The Colored citizens Of
the country, who have hailed with
hope your efforts to reform the
archaic and obstructive rules of the
United States Senate, whereby a very
small minority may prevent a vote
on any or all measures, and who
have been encouraged by your able
and firm rebuttal to all objections
raised, are stunned by your COM
plete surrender of your principles
when II came to the sectional objec-
tions raised by Southern Democratic
senators.
"Colored Americans have been the
chief sufferers from the ancient
senate rules since the time when
their soldiers had been an indispen-
sable factor in saving the country
from the South's rebellion even until
now. Nearly every measure pro-
posed in congress to provide enforce
ment of their civil and political rights
has been defeated either by the SEN
ate rules or with the Southern Dem
ocratic threat to filibuster under
them given as the Republican ex-
cuse for not securing constitutional
rights and protection to our Race.
Gave People Hope.
when your crusade began the
Colored people, already discouraged
over the failure of recent Republican
administrations to repair the damage
wrought by two terms of the south
ern Democracy, and by the fat sur
render of the party to the filibuster of
the Southern Democratic senators on
the Dyer anti-lynching bill, began to
take hope that better day was

oreo girl, Miss Maud Wanzer of
Charleston, w. Va, on going to the
docks to see her off last week, they

cry means of preventing the trip, but
