The local quota was fixed at $4,000
Saturday, but Brig. Gen. Frank R.
Keefer, in charge of Red Cross emer-

to all chapters today:
Because relief needs in flooded

increasing every hour as continued
rains send rivers to highest levels in
history with more than 100000 per-
sops driven from homes, urge you
double your relief fund quota and go
as far beyond the doubled figure as
possible. We are contributing mil

Khan and Cast
Ballots

ST. PETERSBURG. Fls.-The
only effect which the parade OF
the Ku Klux Khan had here this
week on Negroes was to make them
go to the polls and vote. Further
more. after the special election was
over. many colored citizens declar-
ed they had been caught unregis-
tered at this election and could not
vote, but at the next registration
day they would be sure to be ON
the lists.

the next day. Some OF the 200
Klansmen attempted to burn q
cross on the lawn OF Charles VIII
liams. but before 1t could be light
ed, Mr.. williams called police who
took the cross and forced the men
to run.
The temper OF the colored people
was such that any spark could
have set off serious trouble. Far
from being afraid OF the Khan
many Negroes wanted TO remove
the cross from the Williams house
themselves and not walt for the
police. II was said also that col
ored people were ready" u any
trouble had been started and that
only the fact that the Khan par
sde was a quiet one escorted b.
police. prevented an outbreak al
ong the line OF march.

WASHINGTON. d. C.-tFrom an

July %. 1887.
Lynching at Tallahassee
AN unusually nauscating South
ern lynching occurred Monday. when
Tallahassee, Fla. mob dressed
as Ku Kluxers jerked two boys out
OF jail and shot them TO death. The
boys were in jail on charges OF
having stabbed a white policeman
and would have been tried in due
time.
The Wagner AntI-Lynch Bill
Senator Wagner announces that
he will press his snti-lynching bill
for Senate passage beginning right
after the court fight. The bill
which has already passed the
House. would apply to all States
North or South. and would
az MAKE any peace officer
convicted OF wilful negligence In
resisting or prosecuting a lynch
mob liable to Federal Govern
ment fine up to $4,000. or five years
in jail. or both: and f2) enable the
Federal Governement to fine any
county where a lynching occurr.
ed from $500 to $1,000. and TURF
the money over to the lynch vic
tim or his estate.
This bill. II It becomes a law
won't stop lynching altogether. but
It will enable the Federal Govern
ment to go after savage custom
which the Southern States cannot
or will not rub out OF their own
volition. The Government has had
great success in putting down kid
napers, counterfeiters. interstate
bank robbers. We'd like to see the
Government turned loose on lyn-
cheers.
However. there Is a widespread
and we'll founded belief that the
basic causes OF lynchings down
South are ECONOMIC rather than
sentimental. Southern poor whites
do most OF the Southern lynching
and observers tell us that they dc
1t not so much out OF the touted
reverence for Southern womanhood
as out OF hatred for colored people
who get ahead in the world.
"The South by and large Is the
poorest part of the United States
as regards cash income, so that
the struggle for existence on the
lower levels OF Southern society Is
fierce one. When poor whites
see colored people making gains in
this eternal struggle. the poor
whites sec red.
80 the long-range remedy for
lynching would seem to be TO life
the living standards, somehow. OF
both the poor whites and the color
ed people down South. This. the
New Deal has been trying TO do
and has succeeded in some areas
notably the IVA area. The Presi-
dent wants Congress 10 pass more
New Deal legislation before 1t sd-
journs--hour and wage laws, help
for sharecroppers and handicapp-
ed farm tenants. a substitute AAA,
to keep farm income up 10 par.
The latest Southern lynching is
one more argument for some real
New Deal action before this ses-
sion OF Congress ends"
