THE LYNCHINC EVIL

Records Of lynching in our country during
the year Just ended. as compiled by the de-
partmcnt Of Records and Research at Tuske-
gee Institute. Alabama, show that six persons
were murdered by mobS in the United States
in 1888 all the victims being Negroes.
A total of fifty-three other persons. three
Of whom were white and fifty colored. were
saved from death at the hands Of mobs last
year. through the Intervention Of officers Of
the law
The number Of ynchings last year were
two less than the number killed by mobs dur
ing the two previous years, and fourteen less
than for 1885
The low rate Of lynchings in 93S was due
largely to the desire Of Southern States to
show to the nation that mob murders can be
controlled by the individual states. They did
not relish the widespread publicity given the
lynching evil by the introduction of the Anti
Lynching Bill in the last session Of Congress.
The Scvcnty-Sixth session of Congress
which opened in Washington, ID. {. this week,
will also be called upon to consider the pas
sage of the Anti-Lynchng Bill. We sincere
~ hope that this time the measure will be en-
acted into law.
MEANWHILE citizens in all parts of the T.
nited States, who are opposed to the crime
of lynchng, are urged to communicate with
their representatives in Congress and petition
them to support the passage of the Anti-Lyn-
ching Bill, when it comes up for considera-
ton at this session.

GIVE TROWBRIDCE A LIBRARY

There is an urgent need for library facili-
ties at Trowbridge school, which is located
on Forest avenue, between st. Antoine and
Hastings streets.
Trowblidge is one Of the community larg-
est graded schools, in which many colored
pupils are enrolled but the school has no
library.
We believe that the public schools in color
ed neighborhoods which are largely attend
ed by our children, should be provided with
the same educational and library facilities a
valuable in other local schools of similar
grade and size. 1t is particularly essential
that all students in our Detroit public schools
should have access to good books in school
libraries, not only for supplementary reading
in connection with their regular studies, but
also for recreationa reading and entertain
ment.
In the Board of Education budget for this
year. certain sums of money have been ear
marked for the expansion Of library facili-
ties in other local schools which are already
supplied with libraries, but no provision
seems to have been made for Trowbridge
school, although it is entirely without Ii
brary.
We feel confident that this oversight on the
part of our public school officials is not dclib-
crate or discriminatory, and that they will
take steps to adjust this situation and provide
Trowhridge with librarian and library ac-
cancellations in the near future.
