Justice In Mississippi

A Mississippi judge set aside a YER
dict because it evidenced prejudice
against a Negro who was suing a
lumber company. The colored man
sued the company for $4,000 for
injuries sustained when the COM
pany's foreman struck him when he
refused to work on Sunday. The jury
brought in a verdict for St67.33. The
Judge in ordering a new trial said:
even though the man was Negro
it was his place to see that he re-
ceived a fair trial.
=
Mississippi would be fit place to
live in if more of her Judges would
adopt the attitude of the judge in
this case. Perhaps the greatest in
justice done the Negro in the South
is that rendered by the courts. The
courts have been so hostile toward
Negroes in the South that the Negro
suffers his injury rather than appeal
to the Tribunals of Law.
1t is LJped that the fairness of this
Judge viii permeate the hearts of
Others along the Mississippi so that
black men will stand equal before
the law

Believes barrow Is Right

10 the EulIofs
| have read in The Enterprise
some OF the articles concerning
Clarence Darrow's speeches. | think
Mr.. Darrow's talk is quite true. We
Negroes do not appreciate real facts,
but want them polished. Until we
are big and broad enough to accept
the truth no matter how il hurts,
we will not get very far as race.
Some OF us think because our an
cestors came from Africa and were
slaves in this country we should
BE- no more than servants. Darrow
Is trying TO make us feel that we
are as important as any race. When
we can show white people that we
are as good and as human as they,
no longer will they look upon us
with the eye of a slave master.
Most of us believe in the Bible en-
tircly or in part. Some of us accept
eli statements made in the bible as
facts. But not all of US. There are
some things contained in the Bible
that common sense tells us are fairy
tales. Mr.. barrow tells us to get
more education. That education is
just as important IL not more so,
than religion. For this reason, We
should support it more ard not take
all our time and money buying fine
churches while neglecting places to
get an education.
Mr.. Editor, on this particular
point I think you viii agree with
Mr.. barrow For you know the
more educated we become the far
Their away from slavery we get.
However, II the Bible is wholly true
Negroes can never get away from
slavery, according to Exodus 81:
20-21 Another good verse for US
who believe everything in the Bible.

liove Mr.. Darrow is trying TO get US
human rights.

tion Of Cleveland, Harrison and Mc-
klhley ne WIS consulted III every
Negro appointment. Frederick Doug
lass had lost prestige by marrying
white woman and Booker T. Wash
ington was as yet unheard of. For
tune was the leader of the race.
Nearly all the prominent Negroes of
the day owed their fortunes to him.
In 1898 Fortune agitated for a
Negro regiment in New York Ma
tional Guard and almost succeeded.
The Fifteenth Regiment is the fruit
of that seed. In 1900 the Govern
ment, desiring accurate information
of conditions in the Philippine Is
lands, sent him there as a special
United States Commissioner. h e
brought back such an alarming re-
port Of the conduct of the American
soldiers and the infilteration of Jap
anese soldiers and spies that the
Government never dared publish the
report.
Organized Afro-American Council.
With the rise of Booker T. Wash
ington, Fortune entered the final
stage of his active career. Years
before that he had organized the
Afro-American Council, which might
be called the parent of the Niagara
Movement, the National Association
Tor the Advancement of Colored
People, and all similar Organizations
since. With Booker T. Washington
he was one Of the founders of the
National Negro Business League.
Washington's Confidant.
Mr.. Fortunes relations with Book
er T. Washington have caused con
siderable controversy. Mr.. Wash
ington, in conversation, freely ac
knowledged his indebtedness to Mr..
Fortune for many valuable services,
but he never mentioned him in his
books. 1t was generally said that
Fortune either wrote or edited all
of Washington's books and speeches,
and kept his own name out through
modesty. 1t is certain that he was
Washington's chief confidant and
adviser.
In all his relations Fortune was
striking character. The last utter
ance of his that inflamed the South
was in 1906, just after the Atlanta
riot. When a reporter interviewed
him he said: 81. am both surprised
and disappointed'that not more white
people were killed.
In 1907, during a nervous break
down, he sold the New York Age to
