AlEhITS OF n. A. A. c. P. WORk
new York, June.-Widespread edi-
torial comment extending from coast
co coast throughout the country is
greeting the achievements OF the Ma
Ilonal Association for the Advance
menu OF Colored People. Clippings
reaching the National Office, ~
fifth Avenue, reveal that the N: A.
A. l.. 2. has it's staunch champions
and defenders among white editors,
as we'll as its violent critics, the lat
ter chiefly in the South.
Inc Everett, ashington, Herald,
one OF the leading dailies on the "a
enc Coast sharply defends the N. A:
A. C.. P. for its encouragement OF
the protest against segregation by
Negro Gold Star Mothers on the pill
grlmage to European war graves. Inc
herald joins issue with the Column
bla Record which devoted two edl-
torlals to condemning the N. A. A. Y;
Z. because Of the War Mothers and
the Judge Parker episodes, and con-
Guides its editorial as follows:
line Record and the News and
Courier to the contrary notwlthstand-
ing, self-respecting Negroes the coun-
try over and white people who are
Tree in spirit and in truth, stand
back of the Nationa Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
in it's fight against inconsistency, and
assure the Colored Gold Star Moth
ers, who place a races honor above
1-gratihcation, that their actions
speak louder as vindication of their
sons martyrdom for democracy than
anything else they might have done.
Long live Haywood Broun! Long
i've Walter White! Long live the
N. A. A. C. P! Long live Negroes
who won't give up! Don't pity the
Gold Star Mothers; all honor to their
abnegation." -. -,
Extracts from southern editorials
in white dailies commenting on the
N. A. A. C. P. are as follows: 1880
cambridge, Ga, Light: The
southern senators that opposed the
confirmation of Judge Parker ought
to feel proud to get in the bed with
the Society for the Advancement OF
the Colored Race who opposed mis-
appointment"
Columbus, Ga, Enqulrer-Sun:
"The pilgrimage is a sacred one
but the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is
trying to make it a political and So
cial one"
Macon, Ca, telegraph: IF the
Association were sincere in it's solicit
tude for the mothers, it would recog-
rize that segregation will make them
happier"
Richmond, Va, Times-Dispatch:
"In it's recent activities the National
Association for the Advancement OF
Coored People has acted in such a
manner as to belle it's name. -. This
Association in the Parker fight,
Haunted the entire South on ground
no more solid than a political speech
delivered under ,peculiar circunl-
stances ten years ago. In the
matter of the Negro Gold Star Moth
ers the Association obviously has
gone out of its way to pick quar-
rel"
Newton, N. c., Enterprise: "'Ne-
gro Organization Picks Quarrel with
Department of War; reads contem-
porary headline. Coupling this &C.
ton with the activity of the Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People in bringing about the defeat of
the Parker nomination to the Su-
preme Court, it begins to look like
the Republicans started something
when they forced the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments into the Con-
stitution."
Petersburg, Va, Progress-Index:
at is recognized very generally that
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, an or
ganization chiefly of Northern men
