THWARTED JUSTICE

Officials of the local branch of the N. A A. c. P.
and coored citizens in general astonshed at the mot
guilty jury verdict rendered in Detroit Monday to eli
max the sensational three-day trial of young white man
who was charged with crimnaly assaulting a little six
yearold girl The verdict is characterized as shining
example of miscarred justice.
The jury was all white, the defendant was white
and wealthy, and the prosecutor white but alas the
little victim happened to be poor and a Negro Many
share the opinion that had circumstances been the re-
verse with the victim white and the defendant coored
with the strong evidence against him. conviction
would have been certain
The state had twenty witnesses, including
reputable medical man, and evidence was established
that the little girl had been crminaly assaulted also
that she had been in the defendants the day
of the attack yet the prosecution failed to win the case
1t is the of opinion that if the prosecu
ton had displayed alertness in the selection of ur
in crossexaminng the defendant and his witnesses
and in presenting stronger final argument the jury
the would have ended differently.

A WHITE CITIZENS VIEW

In 1868 Abraham Lincoln sign
ed AN Emancipation Proclamation
freeing the Negro slaves of this
country. On November 3, 1886,
the Negro people wrote another
Emancipation Proclamation free
ing themselves from the slavery
and bondage of a reactionary and
betraying Republican Party.
1t took 70 years of suffering, OF
broken promises, of sell-outs and
the most vicious racial descrimina-
ton to drive the Negro people to
this position. But on November 3
they signed a Declaration of In
dependence.
The Democratic Party in Michi-
gan and in the United States faces
a great opportunity and great
responsibility. The Negro has
placed his trust and confidence in
that party. He now asks only that
which is fairly and justly due him.
He asks only the same opportunity
and right to work and support his
family as that given any other cit
izen. The Republican Party was
tried and found wanting. The
1emocratic Party is now on trial

body knew just what he was going
to do with it, but they knew that
he was going places in hurry.
Coach Robinson of Brown used
to be a complete nervous wreck at
the end of an important game be-
cause of Pollard's unique method
of carrying the ball. One. minute
his heart would be in his mouth
because he feared that Fritz was
going to be tackled for a % yard
loss; the next minute he would be

POllard's great work caught the
eye of the late Walter Camp in 1916
and he was named halfback on the
All-American team, one of the
three Negroes TO be accorded that
honor by the famous dopester in
the period from 1889 to 1924 that
Camps teams were regarded as
the official" selections.
Young Fritz Pollard, the pre-
sent North Dakota flash, has a
more orthodox technique than his
father had. In the first place he is
a bigger man, weighing about IT'S
and standing nearly feet IL inch
es tall. He is one of the fastest men
on the squad and was a member of
the United States Olympic team
that competed at Berlin last sum-
mer, running in the hurdle events.
He is a real triple-threat man, with
passing and punting ability of the
stellar order. Although only a
sophomore, he has won Job as a
regular halfback.
Horace Johnson, the Sioux sec
ond Negro player, also is a sophie
more halfback. He is a fine defen-
sive player and a good ball car
rier, but so far has not developed
Pollard's ability as a passer and
punter. Like Pollard he sees plenty
of service and will undoubtedly be
in the lineup against the Detroit
Titans at some stage of the game.
