POLICE BRUTALITY TO NEGROES

The Detroit Police Department is apparently trying
to establish national record for brutality to Negro cit
liens In spite of the many protests made to those
thority the brutality continues
Since January l. this year the number of Negroes
slain in cold blood and savagey beaten and dubbed by
local police officers has steadily mounted The orge of
brutality began in January when colored citizen Jesse
James shot to death by policeman he sat at the
wheel of automobile he had just purchased from To-
cal car dealer, but as yet the offending officer has not
even been reprimanded Just few weeks ago, sixteen
yearold boy was shot and killed by policeman for al
egedly taking sweater from store on Woodward
nue., and the unusfed killing has gone unpublished.
In addition to these and other murders by Detroit
policemen in recent months other members of
have been brutaly dubbed and beaten by officers Of
the law without just
Last week. Jasper Choice an eighteenyear-old
youth was arrested by local officers and savagey beat
en- that both Jaws of the victim broken Nothing has
been done about it.
Frank Robertson. another Detroit Negro was cruelty
beaten this week at the Garfield station after having re-
ported to Judge w Mckay Skiman that two detectives
had attempted to make him pay them twenty-five dollars
to escape swindng charge. The testimony submitted
by Robertson serious that Judge Skiman has ordered
investigation.
Surely it is high time that end be put TO the bru-
tai treatment to which coored Detroers are being sub
jected by members of the local Police department
Policemen are paid by the taxpayers to preserve
law and order and to protect human lives and public and
private property but they have right to take the law
INTO their own hands, many of them do is not
their duty to act Judges urie and executoners in
their dealings with Negroes Policemen have no legal
or mora right 10 let their racial or religious prejudices
lead them to persecue members race or anv other
racial group and when policemen far forget their duty
as to indulge in such awless of violence they should
be curbed reprimanded and in fragrant cases they should
be dismissed from the Police department and punished by
the courts of justice.
Coored citizens of Detroit have been protesting for
some time to those in local authority and appealing TO
lem to put stop this police brutality but our protests
thus far seem to have fallen on deaf ears

TOLAN AND THE N. Y. A.

It with keen regret that learn of the osnr Of
Eddie Tolan from he position which he has held for the
past year or two director Of coored ~ A. activities
in Detroit
n our opinion, Mr.. Tolan is particularly fitted for
this special job. As young man who worked his wav
through the University Of Michigan and won international
fame as the worlds fastest human he is living nspra
ton TO the youth of our race
For these reasons. therefore it is difficult for rs to
comprehend why he is being let of his position with
the ~ y A. it because he has contended for inepra
ton rather than segregation Of Negro boys and girls in
placements on y. Y. A. projects? We trust not There
should be no discrimination favoritism in aotting
l. a assistance to worthy students matter what their
religious creed racial identity might be for all Of rs
are American citizens
Eddie Tolan has brought honor to Michigan as we'll
as to his race by his brilliant achievements as an athlete
and we are Justly proud of him. We want him 10 get q
square deal for he richly deserves it. He is efficient and
MS understanding heart is full of sympathy for Young
men and women of the race who are struggling to CON
tinue their education and need n Y A. assistance
1t is our sincere hope that the ~ Y A. officials Of
Michigan and Washington, DC, will keep Toan on the

II seems to us that things poll
teal and business have given way
TO things social. Most Of US have
given way to the heat and have
sought refuge at the beach or some
cool park or the farm.
BIG BUSINESS:
The only encouraging report
that we have this week from the
automobile field is that automobile
and truck production In the past
six months OF 1889 totaled 2.045.6 $40
units. an increase OF 740,174 units
or 81 per cent over the first half
OF 1888. Factory figures in July
increased 3 per cent over May to
322.670 units. approximately 70 per
cent greater than the production
of June OF 1888, the report said.
POLICE FIELD DAY:
Reports from the Police Field
Meet at Toronto last week were
very encouraging. II. VanNort-
wick. a Detroit officer. was the
high point man of the meet, and
also was awarded the George
Hardy gold medal. The beautiful
gold medal commemorated the
visit OF the King and Queen OF
England. Detroit received 70
points; Toronto 50 points; Mon
treal 81 points: and Hamilton. On
tario, 4 points. Detroit was also
represented by Eddie Gaines. star
of the police team.
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS:
The column compliments this
week. Judge Thomas r. Maher OF
the Traffic and Ordinance Division
OF Recorders Court for the splen-
did work he Is doing in the Traf-
fic Court. Judge Makers record
has been one OF fairness and prog
ressiveness. Detroit Is proud TO
have such Judge sitting In Traf-
fic Court who has recognized Ne
groes In service and justice. The
only Negro appointments In Traf-
fic Court are credited to Judge
Maher. We are hoping that he will
keep his splendid record so that
the citizens OF Detroit will In turn
show their appreciation.
ORR MAYOR:
We cannot close this weeks coll
umn without mentioning that May
or Richard w Reading saved the
City OF Detroit large increase In
its welfare rolls when he spent the
majority OF Saturday afternoon
talking with officials OF Washing
ion via telephone persnading them
not 10 cut Detroit's WPA allotment.
