We have read with much interest
a recent statement sent out from the
headquarters of the Commission on
Tnterracial Cooperation at Atlanta,
Georgia. 1t quotes the Institute OF
Social and Religious Research as
stating that from 1900 to 1925 there
was a shifting of (2,1Oo,0o0) two
million, one hundred thousand Ne
grees from the country to the cities.
As a matter of fact, it should have
been just the other way.
We were led to enquire, what has
become of that "army" of young Ne
groes, who have been and who are
now being trained for the farm and
for other industrial pursuit? 1t en-
phasizes the fnat that without the
proper mate+ fupan material, the
millions of doAaB expended upon
these young Negroes are being
thrown virtually away. A wedding
out process should be instituted to
the end that when a young man
wants to be a scientific farmer, it
should first be ascertained whether
OF not he possesses the brain and the
hcewn for such an experiment.
Most cities have young men with
college training doing work, which
could just as well be performed by
others without college training.
They tend to enter the professions,
aud after that are satisfied with the
ordinary rout ne work in their par
SECULAR line, possessing no incentive
to excel and to win fame in their
chosen professions. The outlook to
as is gloomy. 1t may be that there
is a silver lining somewhere up
yonder that we are unable even with
telescope to see.

VIRGINIA ANTI LYNCHING Law"

The Richmond, Virginia, Times
Dispatch, in it's issue of the 9th inst,
has this to say about the recently en-
acted Anti-Lynching Law:
In the adoption of the anti-lynch-
ing bill sponsored by Governor Byrd,
Virginia has shown the way to those
States of the South whose escutch-
cons are marred now and then by
mob violence. While the law, with
out the provision which would have
required the county in which the
lynching was done 10 pap $2,5e0 70
the family of the person killed, is not
as strong as it might have been, it is,
nevertheless, step in the right di-
rection and is plain indication Of
the adverse attitude of the commun-
ity toward this particular crime. The
passage of the measure is g distinct
mark of progress.

And again:

The law defines lynching as
murder, and under its provisions the
Acknowledgement of Virginia is per-
mitted to appear as prosecutor. Thus
the State itself steps in to assist IN
handling situations arising from mob
violence. The entire machinery OF
the government at Richmond is
placed at the disposal of the county
which has been outraged by case
of lynching. The moral influence of
the fact that this is done will in it.
self, no doubt, give pause to those
persons inclined to take the law into
their own hands.
1t concludes as follows:
Virginia in the recent past has not
been much afflicted with the crime
of lynching. The best people of the
State always have been violently OPP
posed to it under any circumstances.
When mob forms justice is fiaunt-
ed. Such action is contrary to all
our ideas of good order. Occasional
", the rougher element of the COM
munity has brought reproach through
its own disrespect for right upon the
entire State. Virginia now has the
means to curb this spirit of violence,
and it should not hesitate, if the oc-
casion should arise, to employ it to
the utmost extent.
This is an admirable analysis of
this specific legislation. Governor
Byrd did his duty and it is to be
hoped that his successor in office will
renew the recommendations made by
him to the end that the legislative
"teeth" in the measure may be re-
stored.
