The Law Is Liberal
BY Jack steinberg

The Civil War ended the institu-
ton of slavery in this country. and
to render the position of the Negro
more secure, the Congress passed
the Thirteenth Amendment which
legally abolished slavery, the Four
teenth Amendment, which gave all
citizens equal protection of the
laws. and the Fifteenth Amend
ment, which provided that a citi-
zen's right to vote could not be de-
MED o. abridged because of his
race, color, or previous condition
of servitude.
The state of Washington has re-
manned more or less true to the
spirit Of equality that should be a
tradition in a democracy. Occa-
sionally there will crop up a mar
row-sighted public official who will
discriminate on account of color,
and as a display of this we have
before us the matter of o. Avis
Dennis and the refusal of the State
Highway Department to employ
him.
More often, however, discrimin-
alton arises from private source.
Such was the case of the late Clar-
ence r. Anderson and the PAN
tages Theatre Co., which was fin
ally decided in the State Supreme
Court.
Judge Fullerton wrote an excel
lent opinion. He cited the Wash
ington law which said that any
person who denied to another be-
cause of his race, color or creed
the full enjoyment of a public re-
sort or amusement place was gull
ty of a misdemeanor. He said the
indignity was of an aggravated
sort, and he granted an award to
Mr.. Anderson.
Discrimination of this character
occurs much too frequently. It will
continue as long as there are those
among the majority who are in
terested in taking advantage of a
minority people, and as long as
that minority does not strike back
In America the law is with the Ne
gro. To sustain its effectiveness
should be his great duty.

Northwest Doings
In Elkdom

Well, the herd put on it's bib and
tucker and really went to town last
Tuesday night when they enter
tanned Henry Clay Agnew, former
assistant prosecutor who secured
a conviction against Whalen, Pas
chal and Stevenson, former police
officers, for the murder of Berry
Lawson.
Everyone thought he was going
to talk politics or say something
about the Lawson case, but believe
it or not, he did not mention eth
er. He was escorted to the Chest
erfield by brother Sam Chenault,
introduced by editor John o. Lew
is, and replied to be brother e. l.
Robinson. Refreshments were serv-
ed and those who were so unfor-
tunate as not to have been able to
attend really missed a treat. Mr..
Agnew's talk was inspiring, friend
ly and a lecture on the fundamen-
tails that Elkdom is built upon. He
is the Leading Knight in the white
Lodge here, No. 92.. Daughter
Kate made a very high compliment
to Mr.. Agnew and received nice
hand from those assembled.
This is the last issue before the
election and naturally the paper is
tight, therefore many fine bits of
information will have to keep

White House after leaving bou-
quet of roses.

came increasingly grave this week

SENATOR BAILEY
ASSAILS MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. (UP)
Southern senators, pressing their
anti-lynching bill filibuster, yes
terday started blistering attack
on gang and labor killings in
northern cities and again warned
the administration that sectional
lines drawn over the measure
would wreck the Democratic par
ty.
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan, D.
Tenn, renewed the southern Of
fensive with the charge that mo
attempt has ever been made to
punish" Chicago police who shot
and killed II union demonstrators
during the Memorial day riots IN
that city last year.
Both Senator j. Hamilton Lew
is, D., ILL.,, and Senator William h,
Dietrich, D., ILL.,, vigorously de-
Tended Chicago officials in con-
nection with the killings, de-
nounced the allegations as false,
and pointed out that a grand jury
was summoned but decided that
none of the charges was justified,
Mcclellan asserted that Chicago
Officers ruthlessly shot down
and killed several workers" dur
ing the march and that motion
pictures of the riot showed that
the attack by police was "unpro.
voked." Referring to the grand
jury proceedings, he asked: isn't
