BIRTHDAY

NEW YORK, February GA new
war on l%ynching, signalized by a
campaign for the passage of the Cos
tigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching
bill, will mark the twenty fifth birth
day of the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored People
February IL
"The N. A. A. g. P. has been in the
forefront Of the fight for the last
quarter century to make. the Eman-
cipation proclamation of President
Abraham Lincoln a real document.
Lincoln's birthday will have this year
double significance to Millions of col
ored people because it offers not only
q chance to pay homage to the great
Emancipation, but to launch a second
quarter century Of organized effort
to cur all the rights as citizens
which Lincoln intended they should
have" declared Walter White, N. A..
A. G. P. secretary, in an anniversary
statement.
Lincoln's birthday and the N. A. "A.
O. P. anniversary will be observed by
the 378 branches Of the association in
mass meetings and dinners all over
the country in which the past history
Of the association will be reviewed
and public opinion will be aroused in
support of the anti-lynching bill.
Hearings on the measure will be be-
gun BY a subcommittee Of the SEN
ate on February Is.
The N. A. "A. @. P. idea was born
in 1909 as a result of the Indignation
of William English Walling, South
ern writer and lecturer, over the ter
rible race riot in 1908 in Springfield,
Illinois, the home town Of Lincoln.
Mr.. Walling is still a member Of the
board Of directors. He, Miss Mary

knowing several Colored applications
we're on file, but did not receive CON
sideration. We are entitled to some
employment, and if at this time lack
of funds prevents the board of educa-
ton from giving US our pro rata, q
minimum number could have been
employed until the full amount can
be given.
We help to elect tie members Of
the board Of education, and are sup
porters of. all taxatsons, paying a
higher rate on the average and in
proportion than any other district in
the city. Paying from 1870 to 500
when other districts pay only % to
50% and even less. These commun-
tiles are more desirable and can be
easily kept 50 due to the favorable
consideration received, taking into
consideration less employment and
less taxes to pay, thsre is nothing 20

Realizing where there is intelli--
gence a more mutual understanding
can be had, and we are sure if you
will fully look into this situation
consideration will be manifested. If
every one possessed this ability and
a willingness to be fair to all, there
would sbe no confusion due to nation

You are possessed with a high de-

all races, and are not judging those
who have received superior accom-
plishments, automatically placing
them in a class of recognition, and
are sure you realize there are any
number in this group fully trained to

We are asking that you kindly
bring the above situation to the at

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 1.-The Min
isterial Alliance, composed of the
white ministers Of this city, met in
special session here Monday for con-
sideration Of the Costigan-Wagner
Anti-Lynching bill, and by a large
MARTY gave their endorsement to
the measure and wired. their action
to Washington. The Alliance had or
dered the special meeting for the
specific purpose Of considering this
bill and copies Of the Measure had
been sent to every minister a week
IN advance.
Following a motion for approval
of thee bill by DR.. Howard I. Kerr OF
the Hillsboro Presbyterian Church
the measure was discussed at length
A motion to table received only two
votes, and approval Of the measure
was then adopted overwhelmingly
with only four votes against it. The
secretary Of the meeting was in.
structed to send a report Of the re.
suit to Senators Costigan and Wag.
ner and to President Roosevelt.
The meeting was well attended anc

pressed that had the membership
been present one hundred per cent
the result Of the vote would have beer
