DALLAS SPIRIT.
The Bishops' .Council and Connec-
tional Assembly has met and ad-
journed and they are now a matter
of history.
Members of our group In Dallas
should feel that tbey have done well
They have maintained the reputation
which Dallas has had for many years
of being tthe most hospitable city of
the South.
"Dallas Spirit" really ex-'stn and
actuates the people of this t i'.y In
their efforts at maintaining and In-
creasing that prospertiy and ; group
po 'jit which co-oporr.tion makes' pos-
sible. :'"
The entertainment of this great
group of men Is an unusual achieve-
ment
It 4s remarkable mainly for the
. reason that it was considered' as the
duty of thel group and was d'.scAary d
as such. Tie Bishop's Council was
the guest of -Dallas and ii may be
said' to the cretfit of every organiza-
tion and Individual tbat it discharged
its duty satisfactorily.
The Citizens Committee working
together with the pastor and mem-
bers of St. James Church raised and
contributed more than $4000 which
was used for the completion of !ie
church and entertainment of tje
visitors.
The effort tiius expended has not
been wasted. Every Btati In the
Union was represented by visitors and
members of these C-'inolls. They
. saw Dallas at her best. They were
impressed aad it 'a .not to be doubted
that the generol impression which
these visitors "gained by their visit
here will result in a respect for the
ability of hix "citizens to achieve
which could have been gained in no
otier way.

Governor Neff has asked that all citizens of Texas join him
in enforcing the laws. He has asked that pastors editors and all
men with a following call attention to the need of greater adher-
ence to law and order .
We are glad to comply with such a request for we of all cit-
isens of Texas realize that the need of a more strict observance
to laws Is imperative. ' . -
Last year Texas led the union in lynching. Even now an
ever increasing crime wave is rendering the efforts of ' the law
enforcement officers at its control fruitless and of little account.
Texas needs a stricter enforcement of her laws.
We agree with Governor Neff that "The supremacy of the
jaw is absolutely essential to the
is tne only assurance and safeguard of society.
' Under our form of government the neonle are the source of
an power lney are the State and
or and glory. They are responsible for the enforcement of the
law. its enforcement is impossible in the absence of a sound
wholesome moral public sentiment. The issue has been clearly
drawn in Texas between law and lawlessness between virtue and
vice between social order and open violence between law-abiding

group ot citizens paves the way for further digressions and it
easily and surely follows that such discussions finally result in a
condition like unto that in which Texas now finds herself.
We firmly believe that the failure of men of various com-
munities to allow the law to take its course has caused a gradual
disregard for that law which has been so easily discounted.
Men who have habitually taken the law into their own hands
soon una inemseives out oi sympatny with that law -and more
and more ready to disregard it in order to follow the dictates of
their own impulses. . -
Citizens cf Texas have long discounted their own law mak-
ing and law enforcing machinery. This fact has been shown by
their lynching record and the circumvention of various and sun-
dry laws which even they now consider as responsible for much
of the now prevalent criminality.
We believe that a greater adherence to and regard for law
is possible but we feel that such a condition can be arrived at
only in so far as men of all classes creeds kinds and stations
bring their individual selves to a. realization that they and they
alone are its custodians and upholders.
They must cease to regard themselves as immune from the
punishments which ought necessarily to follow their failure to
abide by them.
They must cease to feel and believe that there is any circum-
stance which could render justifiable any taking of the law into
their own hands.
In short obedience to law will

and in another for poor is a sure guarantee of the ultimate dis-
regard of all law.
To feel that no law applies to white men and that any and
all law even that of the mob is good enough for black men is to
guarantee .the failure of all men concerned to respect any law.
It is our desire and that desire is as deep rooted as our souls
themselves that all men may soon come to realize that any na-
tion can endure only in so far as justice and right'governs it. Its
individuals who make it are the sole interpreters of this justice

In so far as the majority of these individuals allow them-
selves to be governed by the laws established by the majority of
them and hold ihemselves e'dger to guarantee to every other one
of themselves the same rights privileges and freedom as they
themselves enjoy in just so far will that nation enjoy an "exalt-
ing righteousness." In so far as each individual is not. willing to
be so governed and to allow this freedom and privilege to every
other citizen in just so far will that nation fail.
It is to be sincerely hoped

PULPIT AND PEW.
One of the principal recommendations of the Connectional
Council to the Assembly of A. M.
tablishment of a modern theological seminary for the training of
more efficient pastors. Mention was made of the fact that the
condition is coming more and more into being that the pew is
more advanced and progressive than the pulpit.
Such a condition does indeed
In many instances pastors are

When such a condition does
for the reason that the inefficiency of the pastor does not argue
strenuously for hearty suppct t of the congregation which cannot
respect his ability for leadership.
We need ministers who are
pastors who by training and study

ways oi advancement and progress.
Pusent day life especially among members of our group
demands direction along lines other than those 01 :ginally follow-
ed: Pastors among us have greal ;r influence than do any other
class of our leaders. Their condition governs to a great extent
the condition of their followers. ;
' We sincerely hope that this recommendation may bev well
taken by the A. M. E. Bishops and that this great church may
continue to keep pace with the needi of those whom it has so ef-
ficientl;' served for more than a century.
If no greater thiny: results from this illustrious gathering
than the creation of facilities for" training mors efficient pastors
it will have done well. '

THE MIRROR OF
- PUBLIC OPINION
PROGRESS OF THE JflifJRO.
the 30th Tuskegee Nego conference held recently Dr. Robert R.
who succeeded the late Booker T. Washington as President of the
At
Moton
Tuskegee Institute addressed the Negro farmers who were present urging
them to develop more than one-crop farms. He also added the following
warning to Negroes which we reprduce as evidence of the grow'ng stand-
ards to which the Negro race is being led by wise men upon when the
mantle of leadership appears to have fortunately fallen:
"We have too long permitted our people especially the farmers to be
deceived and often defrauded by a . certain class of so-called 'leaders' who
come to them with some sure solution of the race problem organizing some
new movement some semi-secret ' order selling stock with a promise to
make all the Colored people rich in a short while and in other; ways to get
for them all the civil and political rights that they may. ask for. Too
often the results in that these leaders not only take from the people and
the community much of their hard earned savings but frequently 'ncrease
the misunderstanding suspicion and hatred between the races. These
people make it harder than ever for the two races to live together. This
is a crime against the Negro the Nation and agapst God.
"I know Bchool facilities are Inadequate in many places for both black
and white; nevertheless steady improvement in this condition is being
made almost everywhere. The fact that many Southern states Alabama
included have placed upon their statute books a compulsory education law
is itself indicative of a sentiment in favor of education which 25 years ago
was thought impossible. .
"We can also congratulate ourselves black and white with the entire
Nation that there are organizing in every Southern state and a nearly
every county In each state small but effective groups of Colored and white
people who are quietly but persistently and courageously working for jus-
tice and fair play for all elements of the population.
More and more we are finding s that the white people are taking the
Colored people into their confidence in all matters affecting the general im-
provement of the entire community. As a consequence there exists not
only greater prosperity but the best and most wholesome relationship be-
tween the two races. This .'a the kind of work that these small groups of
white men and black men are doing. They are co-operating unselfishly and
working hard to bring justic and equal opportunity civic and economic
to rich and poor black and white. This n all that the Negro asks Abso-
lute equality in protection and opportunity; and that is all that any Amer-
ican citizen should be given." '
Each year the stream of Southern white leaders flowing to Tuskegee
Institute for inspiration and for information grows larger. Recently M
C. Allgood Commissioner of the State of Alabama Agriculture and Indus
tries Department 'expressed to the
their wives the hope that eventually
be able to take the time to visit Tuskegee and see what is being done and
above all what has been done "through 40 years of quet persistent con-
structive work.
This Southern white leader advised the Negro farmers to form market-
ing associations to sell co-operatively .and to diversify their crops. He
cautioned them against spending so much of their money for state-'imported
canned goods poultry butter eggs milk and corn meals. He stated that
a great deal of money has been leaving the South for automobiles access
ories and gasoline."
"We cannot quit" he added. "We

We point with pride to the marvelous growth of Negro financial in
stitutions In Tidewater Virginia. There are operating to-day banking in-
stitutions with a combined capital and surplus of over $558900 deposits of
over 1900000 and total resources cf nearly $3000000. Following a liberal
policy of credit extension ' safeguarded by sound and effective methods of
protection the Negro banks ot Tidewater offer encouragement to all trades
and professions. As a result of this policy confidence has been inspired and
various new and necessary enterprises have come into service of the people.
Perhaps the greatest service these banks are rendering - to the commu-
nity 1b the encouragement of thrift among our people. Some of the dif-
ferent methods which the banks are using to encourage thrift' are the sav-
ings department Christmas savings clubs vacation clubs home banks and
the public-school savings department All of these serve as a means of
education and are very effective In encouraging thrift The Christmas
savings clubs alone this year represented a saving of nearly $500000. At
least seventy-five per cent of this half-million dollars will be spent with
white merchants because of the appalling lack of Negro merchants with
sufficient volume and variety of goods to meet the public demand. Aside
from encouraging thrift these banks are offering encouragement and as-
sistance to Negro merchants with the hope that their service may in the
future compete favorably with that
DISTDfCyrVF AMERICAN MISIC.
The Negro's plantation songs known as "Spirituals" are said by com
petent critics to be the only distinctive American music. The honor belongs
entirely to the black slave and is immensely significant It is also pre-
dicted that out of these Sacred melodies some master composer will some
day evolve a great symphony. Dvorak the Bohemian composer may- have
horaided this musical achievement. But the slsier art of poetry may an-
te 'pate music In the great feat of embodying artistically the yearning suff-
ering prayerful tuul of the Af rican In those centuries when he could only
with patience endure and trust In God and wall these mournfullest of
melodies. Some drama like "Prometheus Bound" but more touching as be-
ing more human; some epic like "Paradise Lost" but nearer to the com-
mon heart of man; some "Dlvjna Commedia" that shall be the voice of tr-me
silent centuries of slavery as " Dante's poem was the voice of the long-
silent epoch preceding it is the not implorable achlefement of some de-
spondent of the slaves.
In a toem of merit and tender
ebrated the "black and unknown bards." who without art and even withouffl
lcteiu produced from their hearts weighed with sorrows the immortal
Spirituals. Unique and extraordinary praise rightly belongs to that black
folk whb save to the world this treasurer of religious song. To the World
I say for I .believe tbey belong as truly to the world as do the quaint and
precious arjmal stories of Uncle Remus. Their appeal is to every human
heart especially to those who have known sorrow and a" acquainted with
grief and who look to God for help.

IAW TS. LYNCH IAW. 1
Thera was a striking illustration in Georgia a week ago of tne superi-
ority of law over lynch law for the protection of the community and the
application of Justice. The case was of the familiar type alleged' as lault
by a Negro upon a white woman. Georgia Is a state which has had an evil
prominence in the past for quick resort to lynching in 'ases of this kind.
To assemble a mob at short notice demand the keyq of the Jail from tho
sheriff and drag the accused man out to be hanged riddled with bullets
or bunked alive according to the caprice of the moment this has been the
usual program. There were eight such lynchings In Georgia In 1920 and
the total score ot the state from 1886 to 1920 was 40.But there have been
signs of lata ot a more reasonable sentiment as was shown by the con-
ference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
at Atlanta last year and the celebration of Inter-Racial Sunday in the state
last "month. . ' . -
The crime in this Instance was revolving and the victim of it Identified
the criminal or thought she did. Und r these circumstances a mob would
not have hesitated a moment. But the case was brought before a court 'a
orderly fashion; the counsel on both sides agreed that the courtroom should
be cleared of every one except those who were directly concerned and two
newspaper reporters; andUn the newspaper report of the trial" the name of
the victim was not given and only a few words of her testimony. She was
confused as to her identification of her assailant having previously Identi-
fied another N.egro Seven witnesses some wh'te and some black swore
that the Negro on trial tnd been working miles ''way from the scene of the
crime on the day when it was committed and ther fcridence was so con-
clusive that it took the jury en minutes to bring in a verdict of not guilty

suspicion. Who can tell how many hasly lynchings there have been of men

On Friday afternoon of the past

In honor of the visiting women. The

to be abandoned. Tho women repaired
directly to the church for the recep-

was an appeal for the consistent use

EDUCATION FOR NEGRO.
Sacramento Cal. Feb. 24.-Mn Mrs.
Margaret peland the cause of edu-
cation for the Negro has found an
active friend whose efforts it may
be predicted with confidence will
mean no inconsiderable measure of
practical result accomplished. Mrs.
Deland. In her address "Debtors or
the Past'' to be delivered at the Chil-
ton Club tomorrow afternoon will
speak of the valor of tht Negro regi
ments as it was described to ner aur-
ing her visit to France three yean
ago. The Negro soldier by his pa-
triotism and devotion vendicated the
right of his race to full measure of
opportunity for its advancement
through broad avenues leading to
technical and professional training
for Its leaders and especially to the
fitting of Negroes to become the
teachers of their own people. .
Mrs Deland will also tell of lue
work of Hampton Institute as It has
come under her observation. It Is
in such school for education of
the Negro that there is to be found
large measure of encouragement for
the members of his race and a pow-
erful agency for the removal from
the life of America' of that pbase
commonly described as the Negro
problem. But unfortunately there Is
at present a sad lack of means for
attaining the end la view. The fa
cilities are far from adequate to ment
the deniar.d. In too many cases Ne-
gro boys and girls eager for educa
tion find In the quest for it obstacles
to'' overcome oniy with the greatest
difficulty If they can be overcome at
all. The door has been partially op
ened. It is time for efforts to throw
it open wide. v f

dine lightly only as a trivial part of
picnic lunches or to be eaten only
when more substantial foods fall. Sar-
dines seem so cheap yet If you once
weighed the contents of one of the
higher-priced cans you would find
you had paid more per pound for sar-
dines than for Spring Iamb. Possibly
this knowledge will Increase your res-
pect for sardines and once you have
really eaten them prepared with the
thought of their being a real part of
the meal you will never be without
some of them on hand.
