on record as endorsing Dr. G
Wagman Blakely. pastor Of Bic
Bethel A, M. Z, Church, as a yery
worthy aspirant for the Bishopric
of the A. NJ E Church, Ia be
elected in May, 1913.
1t was pointed out that DR.
Blakely had served his local
church, his city. state, and con
neetion with such credit and dis
tinetion that every effort should
be made by the citizens of Little
Rock and Arkansas, without re-
gard TO denomination, to push his
candidacy for the Episcopacy Dr.
Blakely was especially com
mended for the splendid enter
tainment, under his leadership.
given to the Bishops Council held
IN February; the Fraternal Coun-
Gil of Negro Churches, converting
in July; and the Extra Session of
the General Conference, meeting
in November.
Following is the resolution pre-
scented to the Conclave, which
was unanimously adopted:
Be 1t Resolved, that we, your
committee, representing the min
lStCrS and members of variono
denominations of Greater Little
Rock, respectfully make known
to the elergymen. laynen, and
delegates to the General Confer
ence of the A. NJ. +. Church, our
conviction that the Rev. DR.. G..
Wayman Blakely, pastor of Big
Bethel Church, Little Rock, is In
every way spiritually and intel
lectually worthy of any honor
that the great denomination of
the A. M. f. Church may see fit
TO confer upon him. The church
needs a continuation of efficient
leadership. The Bishops OF the
A, M. f. Church have contributed
to the progress and wei
fare of our people In America
and throughout the world.
We feel that the addition of
DR.. q. Wayman Blakely will add
definitely TO the advancement of
colored Americans OF all demon
nations.

| ou2hlY lncenSed at what they re-
ported as abuse of a seven-year
old child by probation officer.
They were partly aroused by the
youth of the victim, partly by the
high standard expected from
this type Of official, and partly
| by what seemed to them the
slender evidence evoking the
action. Reports had it that the
officer forced the child to wade
in a ditch, water over her ankles,
temperature two degrees above
freezing, hunting watch she
was alleged to have stolen.
A baby girl, born outside of
prison by special provision, began
her inauspieious career on Cum
Minis Prison Farm in the midst of
20 women murderers. Meanwhile
the Pulaski County Children's
Home became a reality--the first
in the state, but partly supported
by Negro citizens. The Negro
Girls Industrial Home became a
bust through the cooperation Of
leading Negro citizens. The De-
tention Home facilities continue
inadequate. The Boys Industrial
chool, along with the white insti-
tuition, is the target of criticism.
Rape
Attempted raping with all col
ored casts on the west and south
sides in dimly lighted areas were
reported by the STATE PRESS.
These reports had no effect on
the West Side lighting. On the
South Side, a plethora of lights
followed. 1t is a coincidence that
white and black residences at the
South Side point are close to-
gcther.
Later in the year there were
reports that Negroes had attempt
ed to rape white girls and women.
Although arrests were made in
most or all Of these cases, the
orderly processes of law were
infinitely observed. In view of
! disorders elsewhere and past
chapters in local history the
poise of the white public is com
mendable, although just what is
expected of Americans. No SEM
blance of mob violence flaming in
other parts of the nation was or
is in evidence.
Gordon b, Hancock, writing for
the Associated Negro Press, says,
When Negroes accused of rape
are being tried in the South, We
are indeed coming upon better
times. Perhaps in less than 100
YEARS, THEY WILL EVEN
SECURE ACQUITTAL IN $50

Beyond The Courts
~ Bayard Rustin, Field Secre-
tary, Fellowship of
Reconciliation

tary, Fellowship of
Reconciliation
In August, following the SU-
creme Courts Morgan decision
banning jimcrow in interstate
travel, the Fellowship of Recon-
citation wrote the president of
Southeastern Greyhound Lines,
b discover the effect of the de-
cision upon the company's seat
ing policy. His reply indicated
that the Southern bus companies
intend to ignore and Illustrate the
the courts decision.
In part, the bus president wrote:
The company reserves the right
to seat all passengers and to
change the seating arrangements
Of passengers whenever in the
judgment of the coach operator
d is to the best interest of all
passengers concerned that the
passenger be so seated. D.. These
rules and regulations do not in
y0lve any state statute as in the
case of Morgan VS.. Virginia"
This letter and the consequent
maintenance of jimcrow made II
apparent anew that the legal ac-
ton would need to be followed
by an educational campaign in
the buses to assist the general
public to face the issue. Such a
campaign will mean direct action
also. For the responsibility for
the change will fall upon dis
ciplined Negroes and whites who
can enter buses and, without re-
sort to violence, resist by sitting
where they choose and refusing
TO move, no matter the cost.
AT present group of us are
trying to encourage southern in
terracial groups to act this way.
There is a real need that members
Of racial and national groups
which are non-colored but them
selves minorities cooperate. Hit
lcr's "Jimcrowing" of Jews on
German trains and buses showed
that all minorities throughout
the civilized world are bound to-
gether by common problems.
We had reason to believe that
support for such disciplined, nom
violent action would be wide
spread. On November %, how
ever. the New York Times re-
ported a speech in which Thur
good Marshall of the NAACP
cautioned" Negroes in the South
40 avoid non-violent resistance
tactics Marshall added that Il
''disobediencc movement ON the
part Of Negroes and their white
allies. would result in whole
Sah slaughter with no good ach-
ieved."
Marshall went on TO refer TO
-well-meaning radical groups
Who were advocating non-violont
s1irect action. As one of that ilk,
! I'm sure that Marshall is eihter

Homicide Year
1916 was homicide year again

on the list was last years scab

Business HUNS
Negro business in Little Rock
shows encouraging progress. Bar
Der colleges have opened. Velva-
tex has taken ON men students.
Beauty shops and restaurants
have grown apace. Negro grocers
have finally seen the advantage
of cooperation and have entered
into the DOMINO MERCHANTS
ORGANIZATION. The STATE
PRESS has organized company
and now operates its own print
ing plant. Stenographers and
bookkeepers are in demand. A
business college and the CONNER
cial departments of all local
schools and colleges are crowded.
The growth is healthy, The
topheaVy overheads, get-rich-
quick methods, and diversified,
over expensive establishments Of
a by-gone generation have given
place to solid and enduring bust

men will abolish the sidewalk

Education
In this year, the public schools
maintained their status quo. Dun
