TEXANS RISING
FROM WOE To
= BETTER TIMES
BY JAMES r. MCCARTHY
Copyright, 1898. International
News Service)

AMARILLO, Tex, Oct. IL
ON.S0.-There is pride of empire
evident among the people of Texas
you observe nowhere else in the
country.
Texans are keenly aware that
their land was a nation of itself
before it became part of the Union.
And If there is any place in
which I have seen the new deal
at work with high vigor and en-
thuSiaSm, it is in this country of
the cactus, the cowboy and the
seemingly boundless plains.
Better Times Hailed
Up here in the Panhandle,
EancherS were thrown for a loss
by the drought. Down around the
Rio Grande country, crops and hui
man beings anG whole communi-
ties were left desolate by a ter
rifle hurricane. Yet within a few
weeks I find both sections rising
from their observation-disclosures
ting them, even-and blandly hail
ing the dawn of better times.
1t is not merely the individual
who reflects this spirit. but the
State at large. Consider the Rio
Grande valley. There had been
jubilance over the biggest citrus
crop in the valleys history, crop
ready for picking. Then the hur-
Ticane-and 1000 valley residents
were left homeless, a $4,000, 900
crop was destroyed and only the
aid Of relief agencies prevented
wholesale starvation.
I entered the valley to find peo-
pie cheerfully getting ready-of
all thingS-for next years crop!
The Texas grapefruit crop, for in
stance, had been reduced IS per
cent by the hurricane, but they
were talking about how big next
years crop would be.
"We'll Get BY"
It is the same spirit up here in
VIE Panhandle. The drought this
past summer had been appalling,
affecting about II counties-and
o county out this way seems as big
as a State in the East. They're
mostly livestock men and wheat
growers and gas and oil developers
here.
A rancher up this way ex-
planned:
But when the rains came
everything was all right. The
grass is good now. The wheat
may be short, but things are
cheering up. Well get by"

TAMMANY SUMMONS BRIGGS TO COURT
TO STIFLE SCOTTSBORO PROTEST

test against the Alabama lynch courts
in the Scottsboro case.
In an interview with the DAILY
WORKER reporter yesterday Briggs
told how the landlord had tried to
make him cut off the loud speaker
by which the Lberator was helping
to mobilize the workers Of Harlem
for the march to washington to save
the Scottsboro boys and enforce the
18th, l4th and 18th amendments of
the u. S. Constitution.
Tuesday police ordered the Liberia
tor to cut off the loud-speaker. At
p. m. that night over 1000 workers
gathered to protest the police-land-
lord attack. The loud-speaker, which
had been cut off for q few hours,
was turned on. Three cops came
rushing towards the Liberator office.
Immediately score OF workers
blocked their way and prevented
their entering the office. One cop
drew his gun, but was promptly made
to put 1t back in his holster. The
crowd downstairs jeered the cops as
they retreated.
Charles Alexander, William Patterr
son, national secretary Of the LID;
Leonard Patterson, Harlem organizer
Of the Y. G. L., and others spoke at
the protest meeting that continued
outside. Oscar Horton Of the Lib
orator staff was chairman. A col
lection Of $1,000 was taken for the
Scottsboro case.
Indignation is sweeping Harlem at
this Tammany attack on those who
are in the forefront of the fight for
the Scottsboro boys. The courtroom
is expected to be packed at 10 a. m.
today, when Briggs appears to answer
the charges Of the landlord.
Most Of the tenants in the build
ing have signed a statement con-
demning the action Of the landlord.
Briggs announced. The I. L. D. will
defend the right Of the Liberator to
spread the call for Scottsboro pro-
tests,

If you look through the files of

outrages against the Negro masses
