It seems all we can do here
is sit back and criticize dictator
nations in Europe, while we are
having nothing but chaos here.
If we were the model nation
that we think we are we would
not tolerate the injustices thai
are practiced upon the people
here.
We scott at the dictator ma
tions, and yet what have we
here? Hundreds of dictators in
the form Of union agents (who
are nothing but gangsters), pol
iticians, and other corrupt in
dividuals who will not let a man
earn an honest living.
If we can consistently close
our eyes to the terrorism we ex-
perience here daily and still crit

of what conditions exist there)

have our brains examined be-
cause there is certainly some
thing missing somewhere.

Roosevelt has wisely adopted it. His partisan critics can

Looking ahead to the verdict of history on the present

counts:
First, the honesty with which large sums of money
are spent, and with which their distribution is admin

Second, the purpose for which the money is spent
whether socially constructive or without plan.
Third, the results which flow from the spending
So far as Point No. l is concerned we need have no
fears long like Franklin Roosevelt and Harold

The Washington times., 1938-06-22

had been sitting all after
noon in the office of Schuyler
Marshall, sheriff of Dallas
county, listening to details of
the progressive acts of the mob.
A company of the National
Guard had been called out to
protect both the Negro and the
courthouse. The crowd, re-
ported to Sheriff Marshall as
being composed in the main of
girls and boys in their teens,
finally took the rifles away from
the equally-as-young guards
men, Stormed the courthouse
and set fire to it.
But before the flames took
hold the Negro had been tossed
out of a ground-floor window
to the waiting crowd and the
sheriff of Collins county had
taken it on the run. I was not
at the time a working newspa-
perman and I had come to visit
Sheriff Marshall because we
had been members of the same
outfit during the war.
MARSHALL said he could not
AVE- move until the Mckinney
officials or the governor of the
State ordered him into another
county-but the order from the
latter came as he was chatting
over the delay.
If they had sent me down
there three hours ago." he COM
planned, II would have anyhow
saved the courthouse"
We doomed out of Dallas at
80 miles an hour and held that
speed till we lost wheel. That
delayed us, but we got into the
little town of Mckinney inside
the hour. For half of that time
we had seen the flames of the
courthouse reddening the sky
and, as we came nearer, the
ominous light of a smaller fire
which dimmed and died as we
rode.
The courthouse walls were
tunbling inward as we hit the
square. A few shivering boy
guardsmen patrolled the street
and a scattering of men and
women stood on the sidewalk.
The deed had been committed

and the perpetrators, like the
sheriff, had taken it on the run
Or so we thought.
CCVXTHERE'S the burning?"
w asked Marshall in typical
Texas lingo.
The guardsman interrogated,
knowing that the Dallas sheriff
did not refer to the blazing
courthouse, directed us down
two blocks and across two more.
To the high branches of q
tree on a vacant lot hung the
charred skeleton of the Negro
rapist. The rope had not burned
because it was part Of a steel
haWSer. In a large semicircle, a
few feet from the dying fire,
stood or sat about three-score
young men and women, boys and
girls. There were children of IS
there and no person seemed to be
more than in the early twenties.
And this was the mob that had
defied the armed forces of the
State, made a sheriff run and
had burned a prisoner and the
building dedicated to local
justice!
Marshall didn't even bother to
pull his gun out of its holster.
He dragged two husky youths
forward and stood them side by
side Then he made the rest fall
in behind. And he marched
them to the local hotel and
locked them up in bedrooms.
THE other lynching aftermath
l. occurred in Coatesville, Pa,
when I was a cub reporter. The
Philadelphia newspapers learned
that a Negro had been burned,
but nobody seemed to know the
exact location of the crime. l
was sent there because all the
better reporters had gone to bed.
I landed in Coatesville in the
early morning and outside the
depot found an acquaintance
in the form of hack-driver who
had crossed with me from our
native ireland only a year
before.
The location Of the lynching
was revealed to me by this
young immigrant and he took me
to the narrowing scene. Those
were the days when newspaper
editors took a lot of the law on
their own shoulders and I was
enabled to reveal the scene of
the burning in my newspaper
before the police or sheriff's
deputies had discovered it.
The late Arthur Brisbane, then
editor of the New York Journal.
read the story and gave me
a job.
