No Lynching In 1888

A lynehless South in 1888 is the
goal of the Association of Southern
Women for the Prevention of Lynch
ing. More than 1000 white South
ern women have joined the associa-
ton within two years and have
pledged themselves to eradicate mob
violence. The South moves forward
with women taking the lead as
usual
These women fighting to abolish
Americas shame were encouraged
by the reports that only six lynch
ings have occurred in the United
States during 1892. and two Of
these were not in the South, the
lowest number for a similar period
in fifty years; that Mississippi has
not had "A lynching in more than
Il year
Since mCbs say that it is necei
sary to lynch Negroes in order to
protect Southern white women. it is
exceedingly hopeful that 1888 will
be lynchess year when these same
women reply with an organization
to abolish lynching. They say I'VE
do not need that kind of protec-
ton" More than that, 1--WE con
denim mob violence with all of the
forces at our command
Further, these women know that
in many instances they have simply
been used as an excuse for the UNI
leashing of the bowling mob. The
statistics show that the majority oil
lynchings grew out of things Other
than attacks on white women by
Negro men. Now that Southern
white women have knocked the proI
from under the lynching cause, this
type of crime should rapidly disap
pear, and the South can take it
place with other civilized section
of America.

Direct Leadership

If the recent election did any
one job more thoroughly than con
vincing the Republican party lead
ers that they could not mark off the
colored vote as sold long before cleo
ton, it was the job of teaching col
ored leaders themselves that the
rank and file no longer have the
faith in them which will justify their
political guidance.
And since no group of voters can
function properly without direct
leadership this question is one of
serious concern.
Here in America, for instance,
we have 100000 colored citizens
and some 100000 people of jew
ish connections. Both of these groups
face problems of prejudice, eeonom-
ic as well as social and political. But
the 100000 Jewish people have
members in the cabinet of the Unit
ed States government, u. S. sena.

The main reason for this is the diff
ference in leadership. We have near
ly three times as many in population
and there is no reason to feel tina
there is lack of capacity to follow
for our long-standing adherence t.
the leadership of the Republican
party is proof that we are faithful
to the nth degree.
But the fact is simply that tn,
leaders of the 14,0OO,O00 of on

Bishop Hamlet Says
Pastors Must Explain
How Funds Are Spent

GUTHRIE, Okla.-In an address
here Friday before the delegation of
the Muskogee Annual Conference of
the CM.E. Church, Bishop j. A.
Hamlet, issued a warming to the
conference lest the church and the
ministry betray the confidence of
the people.
Said he, Despite the short-com-
ings of the ministry, with all that
may be said against it-and l admit
its defeets-yet the ministry in heart
and soul will not be embarrassed by
comparison with any other class of
servants. No group of men today
has such a grip upon the confidence
of the people as does the ministry"
He sharply denounced the prac-
tice prevalent on the part of some
ministers, churches and denominaA
tions for keeping the people in the
dark" about financial matters.
A barrier to raising finance by
some ministers, churches and de-
nominations is this: the people are
kept in the dark too much. There
are some who let the people have
light only when the money is being
raised, but the door is closed when
the disbursement begins, or even be-
fore it begins" he said.
II warn you that We must let
the people have Highland plenty
of it at that. Once this is done, the
task will become easier, and the
results greater"

Kansas City, Mo.-A turbulent political career of more than 90 years and one of the greatest comebacks in history lie behind him. =. Now a gray-haired vet eran past the allotted three score- and-ten, ex-senator Jim Reed Is making his final bid for public honor.
 Missouri's "favorite son" in the race for the democratic nomina- ton is one of the oldest men ever to seek the highest prize within the gift Of his party. If he should be elected in November. the honor would como within a few days of his 7lst birthday.
 Jim Reeds record has been one of the most remarkable in the his- tory Of political comebacks.
 Twelve years ago. after he had broken with President Woodrow Wilson on the League of Nations issue, he was rotten-e -egged in Ard more. Okla, condemned by the North Carolina legislature as "a traitor who ought to be shot," threatened in Arkansas with be- ing ridden out of town on q rail.

Missouri 'Fighting Jm" Reed Will He Come Back?

The split gradually widened and in 1919 Wilson came back from Europe, riding on the crest of q bringing with him his cherished League of Nations covenant for adoption by the senate. For a time, 1t seemed Inevitable that it would be accepted; Wilson's tremendous prestige seemed certain to carry 1t over.
 Jim Reed. the fighter, sprang in- to action as the leading demo- cratic foe to Wilson's dream.
 CT decline" he shouted in a fiery speech late in 1919. "to help set uD any government that is greater than that established by my fathers, greater than that baptized In the blod of patriots from the lanes of Lexington to the forests of the Argonne. greater than that sanctified by the tears of all the mothers whose heroic sons have gone down to sustain its glory and it's independence. I decline to set up any government greater than the government of the United States of American
 The fight was on. It ragged in the senate. 1t ragged throughout the country as Jim Reed carried his battle to the people with speaking engagements and defied threaten- ing crowds to fling his challenge. It colored the presidential cam paign of 1920 that sent Cox down in defeat before tho Harding land slide. 1t extended into tho Missouri senatorial race of 1922 which found Reed turning defensive into offen- sive.
 Today, the historic league battle Is memory. Woodrow Wilson is dead of 6 broken heart. And Jim Reed Fighting, fighting, ui- ways fighting" turns now to new issues as he seeks to win the seat in the White House. that his arch enemy held for eight iong years.

CAPT JULIAN WON
 CARD TOURNEY
Came Out Ahead in Con- test in Spite of Predic.
 tiOns By Experts"
ANOTHER GAME COMING

The final round of the "45" tourney was played last Tuesday evening at the Clan-Na-Gael and I. R. A. club. Baldwin street.
 First prize was awarded to Capt Julian with second place to Capt Shea and third to Capt Moriarty. The general opinion. of those who took part in the tourney after the games were over was that Julian's team was lucky. and that they were not the best "46" team in the tourney.
 The expert -"46" players that watched the tourney rank the teams of Captain Shea and Mori- arty as the best all round teams that took part in the contest, fol- lowed by the revamped team of Captain Nolan and placed Captain Juiian's team next. They based their opinion on the manner in which the members of each team played their cards individually and the team work used by them.
 Tn looking over the record of the tourney, Captain Shea has three defeats against him. Captain Mori- arty two defeats and one tie. and Captain Julian two defeats only, which somehow upsets the dope of the experts and places Ju- Han at the top, even though he had more than his share of luck. The next tourney will he started in the near future in the .Clan-Na Gael and I. II. A. club rooms.
