NATIONAL BAR ASSN
WEEK APRIL 18th

Whereas, in accordance with
precedent, there has heretofore in
previous years been set aside by
proclamation Of the President, a
week known and designated as
National Ban Association Week
and
Whereas, it is the declared pur-
pose Of such a week through the
members of the National Bar As
ISOLATION, to emphasize the i'm
portance Of the continuing, unre
lenting fight Of the Negro people
to bring about the enforcement
and procurement of the US Con
stitution and particularly the 10,
IA and Is Amendments thereof,
through Court action an legisla-
ton; and
Whereas, it is deemed appro-
PIRATE to designate the week of
April It'll to April ID, 1916, as
National Bar Week because such
week includes April 7th to April
9th, 1916, as the anniversary of
AppOmattoX-the surrender of
Lee to Grant; and
Whereas, since Appomattox led
to the enactment of the Is, IA and
Is Amendments to US Constitu-
ton, it is appropriate each year in
its commemoration that the mem
bers of the National Bar Associ-
alton, composed largely of the
minority group most benefited by
Appomattox, rededicate themseI-
e to the high purposes for
which the Civil War was fought,
particularly to establish equality
and freedom for all citizens of
Country, without regard to race,
creed Or color;
Now therefore, by virtue of the
power vested in me as President
of the National Bar Association
and in accordance with precedent
long established, I hereby declare
and proclaim the week of April 7
to Is, 1916, az National Bar ASS
ociation Week, and I call upon
the officers and members Of the
National Bar Association acting
in the name Of the Association to
hold public meetings, conduct a
dio programs, deliver speeches,
and lectures, write articles for the
press, and engage IN any. other
worthy activity that may promote
the purposes Of such week. The
The theme of all such activities
should be that America cannot
continue shalf-free and ~half-slave'
and that to keep our faith with
Lincoln and Appomattox, the mem
bers of the National Bar Associa-
ton and augmentation of the
US Constitution and particularly
the 18th, 14th and 18th Amend
ments thereof.

CORONET TELLS STORY OF
DOCTOR LOUIS WRIGHT

Louis Wright's career is not
only a stirring chapter in the his
tory Of modern medicine, but a
striking example of democratic
triumph over prejudice and bigo-
try
The article SURGEON OF DE-
MOCRACY in the April Coronet,
traces the life of this great doctor
and of his fight to win recognit-
ion for himself and others. Today
at his post in aHrlem Hopital, DR..
Wright continues to work and to
train other young doctors, for
most of New York's Negro sur
geons have come up under his di-
rection-
The story of DR.. Wright's in

1t worked. No takes were vir-
tually eliminated. Today Wrights
method is recognized as the best
method of vaccination.
His original work on the treat
ment Of skull fractures and brain
injuries has made him a leading
authority in that field. He in
vented the brace used in the trans
portation and handling of patients
with neck injuries. His report On
the treatment of rupture of the
spleen, published in 1889, is a clas
sic, and right now he is making a
study of lymphogranuloma, an in
lection of the glands which has
been the subject of little original
research in this country.
Wright was guided into medic

Fletcher Penn, a graduate of Yale
Medical School, who paid Louis
expenses through Harvard at a
period when most Negro students
worked as redcaps and Pullman
porters to finance themselve-
through other universities. From
DR.. Penn, Wright learned to be IN
tolerant Of mediocrity.
Today, at "a, DR.. Wright is a
youngish-looking man with a
ready smile, easy poise and mod
est assurance Some of the older
Negro doctors on Harlem's staff
think he's tough-tough and IN
reasonable. Perhaps it's because
Wright won't play race politics
in staff promotions. Il insist on
the best man for the job, whether
he's white Or black, Jew or Cath

Mrs. Roosevelt Heads
Committees

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and DR.
Charming H. Tobias will serve as
co chairman of a national commit
tee, it was announced by Walter
White who is in personal charge
OF the case for the NAACP. Mrs.
Roosevelt telegraphed her consent
from Tucson, Ariz.
There r two aspects to this
case, White said, both of which
are Of the greatest Importance.
One IS the adequate legal defense
OF those who have been arrested
and charged with crime. This is
the first consideration These in
nocent persons, t~errorized bv a
mob and the threat of a lynching
merely retired to their section of
Columbia to avoid any trouble.
Their district was invaded. their
homes and businesses were ran
sacked and wrecked, and scores of
them were threatened and beaten
at the point Of machine guns III
the hands of raiding state troop
ers.
It Is Of the very first import
ance that these innocent people
be freed and that nothing take
precedence over securing their
liberty on these fantastic charges.
The second important feature OF
this case is the arousing of public
opinion through mass meetings
and protests to bring the guilty
parties to justice and to prevent
the occurrence at Columbia from
becoming the pattern to be used
by other communities throughout
the nation We expect, through
the national committee now being
formed, through the 1900 branches
Of the NAACP and through coop
GRAFTON with other organizations
to carry out this important task
but without forgetting that the
main issue to the colored people
in Columbia is that those who have
been arrested shall be free.
Mass Meetings Arranged
White said that series Of mass
meetings is being arranged in Is
key cities, with smaller gather
Ings scattered in a score of other
cities where the case will be pub
licized by Speakers from the MAJ
CP National office and others.
White spoke March q to ar
overflow mass meeting at Ebene-
ger AME Church in Detroit. Thur
good Marshall, chief council of
the NAACP who will supervise
the entire legal defense, spoke on
the Columbia case at a mass meet
IN Cleveland, Ohio. The case also
