political boycott by the entire colored population.
So for instance should the city and county admin
istration continue it's discrimination against cOlOred
townsmen no colored property holder would pay his tax
es nor would he give up his home. If it should be sold
for taxes unless forcibly elected and jailed; if the school
board failed to secure at least a certain number Of color
teachers, every colored boy and girl would be kept out of
school regardless of fines and Imprisonment; if a store
while enjoying a considerable trade refuse to hire color
ed help you would pass the word throughout the league
to favor fairer competitors. At the same time pressure
would be brought upon every colored individual to line
up with the league; those who refuse to corporate tho in
different for selfish reasons should be made to feel the
contempt Of their fellow race members that they would
be ashamed and afraid any longer to stand aloft. Under
no consideration should the leader and his assistance en-
courage r%oiting or the use Of any physical force against
any one who oppose them; not only that, but they exclude
from their league at once any member that reSOrted to
such tactics. To defray the expenses connected with the
conduct Of the movement, such as printing, a small an
nual fee, say twenty five cents, could be assessed against
every member. The league should keep out of politics
proper, SO as to avoid ranging and the dividing Of its
forces. 1t could ascertain the record of civic and county
officials, as it concerns the immediate object Of the lea
que but leave to individual how he or she would react
on the information. A sane and determine fight along
these lines would insure the colored people the respect
and cordial cooperation of the best elements of the white
population. and would immensely elevate the morale of

OPEN LETTER
October a. 1888.

| am writing you this open letter that you may be
fully Informed that we are about to put over the greatest
circulation campaign that has ever been launched in the
city of Omaha. AS one who has only recently arrived in
your city, allow me t. frankly discuss with you some of
the reasons why as circulating editor, | am asking for
and expect your support in putting over this drive for
circulation.
First-That in every city in which two thousand
or more Negroes live, it is essential that they have a news
paper in which their church, social and other activities
may be reported, and Also wage a consistent battle for
any encroachment on their rights, civic, industrial and
political. Second, permit me to call your attention to the
fact that a newspaper is a public enterprise as well as a
racial necessity, and should not be viewed or held in the
same light as business of other kinds, such as drug stores,
grocery or other business Of that nature. This is true of
newspapers, because of the fact that all of its pages are
devoted to the printing of news for which no charges
are made except the space devoted to advertisement. By
this you must see and know how important it is that the
circulation should be maintained at a certain standard,
making it possible to continue publishing your social,
church and other activities.
Since coming to your city and connecting with the
Omaha Guide, | have been repeatedly warned of the folly
of trying to do the impossible-Revive the Omaha Guide.
The Omaha Guide does not need revlvlng. 1t only needs the
support of those who use it's pages and columns in which
to report their church and social news. 1t is not enough
that you subscribe for or buy the Guide, but for the serv-
ice rendered should be a Omaha Guide Booster. The
Guide needs Boosters with a big letter, and you need
boosters. That has been our greatest trouble, we have had
too much knocking and most Of us have did too much
knocking one or the other. Our Race hos had too much
knocking from without and from within. Let us resolve
to bury the hammer-handle and all, lets us enlarge on
one anothers virtues and help to cure each others vices.
Remember, "He that is without sin cast the first stone"
AS we can't cast it, so let us forget it by boosting the good
we do find in the other fellow. Is not that the christian
thing to do? AS well as the human thing to do? Come let
us reason together. The Omaha Guide needs you and you
need the Guide. Let's get along together, even "the Lion
and the Lamb lied down together" why can't we? To
accelerate our circulation campaign, we have organized
The Omaha Guides Boosters Club. The person sending
in more boosters subscribers coupons addressed to the
circulating manager. Omaha Guide by December 20, will
receive $1,000 in Gold. It cost you nothing to join, just
follow instructions appearing in coupon. Full in name and
address of subscriber, number of weeks or months sub
scribed for, with your name and address.

Leadership is one who leads, or
conducts, a guide or a commander.
In the Fall of the year, you often
hear a flock of geese going over the
City travelling South or Northwsrd,
and if you should look up, you
would see a flock of geese in a "
shape, with one as their leader, they
become confused, scattered and dis
organized, for they have no leader
and they know it. Now that's Goose
sense. If a goose has sense enough to
recognize leadership shouldn't we?
To mind dear readers, this is the
condition in Omaha today, the Ne
groes are scattered and confused for
the lack Of true leadership. We have,
no outstanding leader that we can
point to with pride we have many
Tom, Dicks and Harrys, who bob up
every now and then but no real
leader, who is willing to make the
acid test that it t.k IS to make a real
leader that of sacrifice that's what it
requires, men who will not sell their
race, a man who has his ace and
community It heart. Every other
race has a reorganized leader but the
Negro, he is here SO lets find that
type that can be trusted.
am glad to have had the oppor-
tunit yto say these few words. There
are $4,000 Negroes here, l am sure
they will support the proper leader
ship. So lets have at least goose
sense get and support the proper
leader.

NINE ALLEGED PAR
ELEPHANTS IN ARMWOOD
LYNCHING DEMANDED

Tag-Arrest of Nine Alleged Parti
BALTIMORE, Nd, November %
(CNS)-Arrest of nine alleged parti-
cipants in the Armwood lynching at
Princess Anne, Maryland, October
Is, has been asked by William Pres
ton Lane, Junior, Attorney General
Of Maryland. The request for the ar
rests was made to John B. Robins,
States Attorney for Somerset Coun-
ty and the Attorney-General's letter
listed the names Of those accused and
gave their respective addresses and
occupations. Mr.. Lane wrote that
the nine men should be brought be-
fore a magistrate for a hearing for
the purpose Of being for the action
of the grand jury"
Mr.. Robins was apprised of the al
legged parts played by the accused
men in the killing Of Armwood when
he was taken from the Jail by a mob
that injured thirteen members of the
State police, battered it's way
through a stell-barred door, dragged
tht Negro through the streets at the
end of a rope and then hanged him,
burning the body later.
Mr.. Lane explained that the as
sault on the Jail included the injuring
of the policemen.
Calls Lynching Murder
This information identifies by
name, address and occupation nine
persons who participated in the crime
and describes the part each took. /
have asked Mr.. Robins to have these
persons arrested and brought before
q magistrate for the purpose Of be-
ing held for the action Of the grand
jury.
ITO kill by lynching is to commit
murder. The leading of the crowd to
the Jail, the assault upon it and any
effort to break into it, or melting
the mob to do so, and the taking of
the Negro out of the Jail are all a
part of the same crime"
The Somerset County prosecutor
denied the request of the Maryland
State administration for the imme-
date arrest Of nine men whom eye
witnesses, in sworn ~affidavits
charged with participation in last
months lynching of a Negro at
Princess Anne.
Ii the men were jailed, said States
Attorney John 3. Robins, a crowd
probably would come and take them
away"
Robins also declined the request of
Attorney General William Preston
Lane, Jr., to hold a public haring Of
the evidence against the nine men
before a magistrate. eff we did that
there would be lots of excitement
and lots of publicity" he declared.
"The magistrate might feel that he
should order those men held on a
charge of murder and they would be
put in Jail without bail. l seriously
doubt they would stay there"
If the refusal of Somerset county
authorities to make immediate ar
rests in the Armwood lynching case
is based on the probability Of inter.
ference by an aroused crowd, then il
is incumbent upon those officials te
btain such assistance as may be
necessary for them to perform their
duty.

eral, in a letter sent to John B.. Rob
ms, States Attorney for the county,
and in which Mr.. Lane reiterated his
request for the arrest of nine alleged
participants in the crime.
Means What He Says
After the A~ttorney-G General had
made public the contents of this
communication, he was asked if he re-
ferred to martial law when he men
toned the assistance that might be
necessary. In reply Mr.. Lane said: ~
mean exactly what that letter says

duty Mr.. Robins fears that arrests
might mob violence. He may
be right. / am up here and do not
know the feeling that prevails there.
Has Right to Deputize
However, when it comes to the
arrest of persons for crime, the Sher-
iff has the right to deputize as many
people as he deems necessary and, in
the case Of necessity to call for out
side aid"
In comment on the refusal of the
Somerset County official to act the
Baltimore Sun says: This means
that, so far as Somerset County is
concerned, the orderly processes Of
the law have broken down and the
States Attorney is ready to yield to
threats Of mob violence. What more
is needed to show that the prosecu-
ton Of the lynchers Of Armwood is
not in the proper hands, and hat
Mr.. Robins should be supplanted by
counsel who will uphold the dignity
and honor of the State?
"The office of States Attorney be-
ing a Constitutional and an elective
one, it is not a simple matter to
bring the incumbent to book. But it
is by no means impossible to do so.
A States Attorney may be removed
for incompentency, willful neglect OF
duty, Or misdemeanor in office on
conviction in a court of law. Or with
out such conviction, he may be re
moved by a two-thirds vote of the
Senate on recommendation of the At
torney-General.
"But in dealing with Mr.. Robins in
the present case, there is open an
other and quicker course. The judges
of the circuit may appoint a special
counsel to act in his stead. Such pro-
cedure was followed in this city when
a States Attorney, William F.
Broening, and a member of the Su-
preme Bench differed as to the dill
gence with which a prosecution was
being followed up. Mr.. Broening was
J replaced by special counsel. Judges
in the First district, having been Civ

making a tavesty of the administra-
ton of justice, have a remedy fol
such dereliction in office.

are to see whether they, too, are
helpless to set in motion the process
es of the law, after the Attorney
General has officially presented the
names, addresses and occupations OF
