TRIAL OF SHERMAN
LYNCHING CASES IS
POSTPONED AGAIN
Austin, Texas.—(ANP)—Trials of
fourteen men charged with rioting at
Sherman, when the courthouse was
turned and George Hughes, charged
with assault, was killed, will not be
held here during this term of court,
it was announced by District Judge J.
D. Brooks. The cases were brought
here from Dallas and set for January
19, when it was decided popular senti-
ment was so strong in favor of re-
leasing the men that it would be im-
possible to secure an impartial trial.
Other cases on the docket will make
in impossible to undertake the riot
trials during the present term, it was
announced.
Taxes paid directly by public utili-
ties in the United States are more
than $1,000,000 a day, the total last
year having been $388,326,000.
"It is easy anywhere in the Unit-
ed States to send a Negro to prison,
not because of his guilt,” said Mr.
Darrow, “but because he lacks the
necessary money for proper legal de-
fense.” He continued, “Where an ac-
cused is black, he is presumed to be
guilty because of his color; and the
hope for remedying this situation is
through properly equipped lawyers
and an appeal to the juries’ sense of
justice.”
Since sympathy, emotion, kindliness
and generosity are qualities of a juror
that make him favorably disposed to
the defendant, Mr. Darrow contend-
ed that it is well to consider national-
ity, business, religion and politics as
bearing upon the qualities enumerat-
ed.
In connection with this, Mr. Darrow
classified jurors in the following or-
der of preference: Irishmen, Italians,
Frenchmen, Germans, Englishmen and
Jews; as to religion—Catholics, and
of the Protestants—Methodists, Uni-

FEAR OF ANOTHER
LYNCHING IS RIFE
IN MISSOURI TOWN
Maryville, Mo.—(ANP)—As Gov-
ernor Caulfield’s investigation of the
lynching of Raymond Gunn here last
week, got under way, reports were
rampant that the lust for blood on the
part of the mob had not yet been
Y 4 satisfied and that one Paul "Shike”
for run Oregroo n Smith was being sought.
A I II These reports stated that when
U I I U I U U I U U U I IUCIUOD Gunn was forced to repeat hi* con-
N ■ • fession before he was burned to death
on top of the school house, in which
he is supposed to have raped and mur-

teacher, he is alleged to have said
that Smith, a radio singer, was also
connected with the crime.

He also stated that Swedes, Norwe-

ers and ex-service men are not likely
to be sympathetically disposed toward
the defendant.
Thursday, at noon, Andrew Rankin
Chapel was taxed to its capacity as
Mr. Darrow addressed the entire stu-
dent body. After reviewing the dif-
ficulties and hardships of the Negro,
he sounded a note of hope in the Ne-
gro’s possession of property and his
eagerness for education, stating that
in genius and intellect there is no
color line. ——______
In consideration of the progress of
the race over the last 65 years, Mr.
Darrow said that one needs but to
use his imagination as to what the fu-
ture will bring forth, and in the
strength of that vision Negroes should
work now for the benefit of coming
generations.
\ Following the chapel exercises, Mr.
Darrow, together with Congressman

guests had luncheon with President

By C. O. ROGERS
Principal, Jackson High School
Corsicana, Texas
During the summer, 1930, a few
public spirited citizens under the
leadership of Grand Master G. W.
Jackson, Corsicana, and others, sens-
ing the need of some organized ef-
fort to combat the growing malad-
justments of the colored people to
their natural, social and civic environ-
ment and to determine a more direct
and definite outlook for the group in
the Southwest, met in Dallas, interest-
ed in the task before them. Much

enthusiasm was manifest; a perma-
nent organization was perfected and
given a name—The Negro Civic
League of Texas.
It is complimentary to the far-
sighted men to say, this is a needed
organization. Its perpetuity should
be established from the very fact it
is to serve a vital human need. The
primary function of any social organi-
zation as well as all organisms or
organizations is to serve needs. For
any organization to survive without
, fulfilling a purpose is parasitical to
say the least. In the face of this
fact, the organization must have more
than a name or even the mere meet-
ing of the illustrious members. There
must be vital parts to this organism
with specific tasks worked out in de-
tail and so dovetailed as to effectu-
ate a smooth running organization
with definite purposes and clear cut
objectives. More than this, mere dis-
cussions must not be the only thing
done. The cat of the fable was not
-belled and thus silencing his menac-
ing activities to the mice by mere
talking and discussing on the part of
the mice about belling him. There
had to be definite action or the men-
ace lingered on. The maladjustments
will be met when they are discussed;
ways worked out to meet them, and
these ways executed with purpose and
meaning.
holding district meetings out of which
will come the representatives to the
state meeting.
3. The districts should comprise
communities organized into clubs that
will be concerned with the study of
community problems as suggested in
the district meeting, and selecting
representatives to the district meet-
ing. )
4. A program should be worked
out for the year. On it should ‘ be
given the main objective* to be ac-
complished and suggestive methods of
attack in realising them. This pro-
gram should be worked but from the
state organization.
Open shouts were made as his body
was being consumed by members of
the maniacal mob, "We want ‘Shike
Smith’ and now the county and state
are being scoured in search of Smith,
and it is readily admitted and believed
that unless some determined effort on
the part of the law enforcement offi-
cers is made, if captured, Missouri
will add one more lynching to its rec-
ord and hold the lead in the lynching
league.
YOUTH KILLED IN AUTO MISHAP
Nashville, Tenn.—(ANP)—Joe
Donovan, a 17-year-old youth, was
killed when he was struck by an au-
tomobile and a truck here Tuesday
morning as he attempted to cross the
street. The youth was hit first by a
sedan which knocked him in the path
of the truck. He was rushed to the
hospital, but died before he reached
there.

It is the hope of the writer that a
statewide organization is the ultimate
goal of the promoters and that this
will involve every part of the state in
an active, organized way. In the light
of this fact it is hoped some procedure
will be set forth as follows:
1. There should be a centralized
body as a State organization compris-
ing representatives from smaller di-
visions—the districts.
2. Divide the state into districts
5. There should be an executive
committee in the state organization
consisting of a member from each
district. This committee will sub-
mit to the annual body the program
for the year ensuing. Getting a mem-
ber from each district will make it
possible for each district to be repre-
sented in bringing up the topics and
problems of interest for consideration.
6. There should be scientific, ap-
proach to the problems of the Negro
based upon investigation, experi-
ments, surveys, etc. For instance, a
study of the economic conditions of
the Negro should be made in the light
of vocational opportunity, personal
fitness for occupations, job placement,
general social and economic trends as
they affect the Negro, and the ever
present labor problem of the Negro.
Much good may be done by such a
body in cooperation with the Colored
Teachers State Association of Texas,
in the study of Negro education.
There are so many problems confront
ing Negro educators that demand the
organized effort of the racial group to
effect a change. Such problems as
irregularity in attendance, standard
achievements, educational opportuni-
ties for rural children, r plication of
the compulsory attendance law to the
Nogr,» children, establishi g of sys-
tems of vocational and educational
guidance in the public schools in or-
der to give the children a more intel- „ ...u v. . Juiven ..
ligent approach to their life problems, reasearch and statistics to give in-
7. There should be an official or-
gan for the organization. If the body
does not see the necessity of publish-
ing its own paper, the cooperation of
all the papers of the state should be
enlisted. *
WHITE HOODLUM BREAKS
UP CHURCH SERVICES
Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP)—Angered
because he "was tired of so much
preaching,” Charles McFerrin, a 62-
year-old white man, armed with a re-
volver, broke up the services of the
Negro Baptist Church in his neighbor-
hood.
MeFerrin was arrested and charged
with drunkenness, disorderly conduct,
carrying a pistol and disturbing pub-
lic worship. He told the officers: “I
like preaching sometimes, but too
much of it is just simply too much.
The police wouldn’t break it up. so I
came over and ran them out. I was

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ORAL
HYGIENE TO THE BABY’S
(Continued From Last Week)
Now back of the temporary or baby
teeth, between the ages of 5 and 7
years, we find erupting the first per-
manent molar. There are four of
these large important teeth, one on
each side of the upper jaw and one
on each side of the lower jaw. Be-
cause of their early appearance, they
are frequently mistaken for tempo-
rary teeth and so are permitted to de-
cay, due to the false notion that they
will be replaced. These first per-
manent molara are the largest and
most important teeth in the mouth,
and unfortunately the most neglected.
I can not emphasize too strongly the
importance of keeping these four
teeth in good condition if you would
have your child a strong, healthy set
of teeth later on in life. Their influ-
ence is so great, that in the dental
profession these permanent molars
are called “Keystones of the Dental
Arch.” If this first permanent molar
is lost or for some reason fails to
erupt, then the whole dental arrange-
ment is upset. The teeth behind this
tooth tip forward so that they can be
of little use in mastication, and the
teeth in front move in and back,
changing the whole contour of the
face.
During the change from temporary
teeth to permanent teeth, these first
permanent molars are for a consider-
able period the sole reliance for chew-
ing and masticating the food. Chil-
dren whose first permanent molar*
have been neglected until they are
badly decayed, usually have bad di-
gestion, headaches, and are very nerv-
oua. This is all due to imperfect mas-
| tication as well as to malocclusion.
I wish to impress upon you a few
important facts with regard to this
first permanent molar:
It is the sixth tooth from the me-
dian on center line of the face and ia
a permanent tooth.
It appears at six years of age just
back of the second baby molar.
It displaces no temporary or baby
tooth. .
Once lost it can never be replaced
by another tooth.
Misunderstanding is the chief cause
of the neglect of this most important
tooth. -
It serves as a guard for the other
permanent teeth.
Now how are we to save these four
important teeth?
