Jury Out Ten Minutes,
Davenport Man Wins
Civil Rights Case

Davenport, Ia. Charles W.
Toney, president of the Daven-
port branch of the NAACP, has
announced that on August 8,
1915, the branch won the first
civil rights case ever to be tried
in that city.
Mr.. Toney and his wife were
the compliments in the prosecu-
ton of a local ice cream parlor
proprietor who had refused to
serve them. The assistant coun-
ty attorney prosecuted the case,
but as a precautionary measure
a Negro attorney, S. Joe Brown
of Des Moines, was brought in
to assist in the prosecution of
the defendant.
The case was won before an
all-white jury which deliberated
only ten minutes.

QlerS can picture MCAhI AN
him waving his hands loosely from
the wrist, swaying from his bloat-
ed hips, almost idiotly drooling
from the mouth. He had just re-
turned to the Senate from a trip
overseas and he was telling the
world that Negro soldiers are lazy,
will not work, will not fight, are a
disgrace to the flag of the United
States. He was basing his facts, he
said, on what some high ranking
generals had told him.
This week, he returned again to
the Senate from another foreign
trip-to Mississippi. But this time,
if he were consistent, he would be
saying that all white people are
Enthusiastically, incapable of Shout
dering responsibility, unable to
make sound decisions involving the
lives of millions, and hence are en-
titled to none of the rights and
privileges of citizenship in this
great country.
AS source of information for
reaching this conclusion, he could
cite the Army Pearl Harbor Board
Report, the summary statement of
Secretary of War Stimson, the
findings of the Navy Court of In
quiry, and the conclusions of Sec
rotary of the Navy Forrestal.
Of course, the errors of judg-
ment attributed to 1t. Gen. Short,
Rear Admiral Kimmell, Admiral
Stark, General of the Army Mar
shall and former Secretary of State
Hull, the dereliction of duty on the
part of some of these men, the
failure to cooperate and coordinate
their efforts and information, are
by no means an indictment against
the entire white race. To claim so
would be stupid.
1t would be no more fantastic,
however, than to publicly state on
the floor of the Senate that Negro
soldiers will not work, will not
fight, and are a disgrace to the
American flag.
Of course, in a million Negro
soldiers, there would be some who
were lazy, some who did not want
to fight, some who by their actions
would be a disgrace to any flag.
These few, however, would have
no monopoly on such infamous
claims. Plenty of white soldiers
could be found to keep their miser-
able company, and with less rea-
son to justify their attitudes.
The fallacy of generalizing on
the basis of a few specific Incl
dents is illogical, unfair and stupid.
But just the same, it makes a very
funny, side-splitting picture even
if in the imagination only-to
think of what a complete ass Sen.
Eastland could make of himself
again if he were only consistent.
