DALLASITES AND AFRICA.
DALLASITES within the paat six
months have been hosts to two men
seeking to improve Africa ty means
of the gifta of their people inAm-
erica. These men Marcus Garvw and
Bishop W. Sampson Brooks bore
messages which differed from each
other as widely as the character of
the reception accorded them by the
people of our city.
Harvey breathing conquest and
the doctrine of power by r.ijsht
spoke to a bare handful of people
and mart; few or no converts to his
georgeous and fantastic project. And
this reception was his despite the
fact that both north and south be
had been hailed for many months
as "the Negro Moses."
Bishop Brooks appeared among
'j 8 last Sunday. He spoke of a
heathen and benighted Africa In
need o' schools and teachers and
physicians. ' He told of his building
already complete which Is to begin
the mental an physical redemption
of this land peopled by kindred
races of ours.
Hugo crowds hevrd Bishop Brooks.
Three collections for his work to-
talled $500.00. He was warmly
welcomed. His message- of con-
structive effort and practical re-
demption was effective.
Thus did Dallas choose the meth-
od in which she has faith. Her re-
fusal of Garvey did not mean a
lack of interest In .A frfca. Her warm
welcome of Bishop Brooks proved
this tine.
Thus sue proved her sanity and
guaranteed her ability to help tan-
gibly in things worth while.
Dallas believes that Africa will be
redee led But she also believes that
that redemption will be wroi:ht by
schools and training rather than by
bombast blood and -it in.

INCREASE OF THE Negro population in the Northeastern
States caupd the centre of Negro population to take a northea"-
terly trend between 1910 and 1920 for the first time in history
the Department of Commerce announced basing its statement on
figures of the fourteenth census. This centre is in the northwest
comer of Georgia. .
"The northeasterly movement between 1910 and 1920 is due
principally to the great increase in the Negro population of Mas
sachusetts Connecticut New York New Jersey Pennsylvania
West VirginiaOhio Indiana and Michigan." the announcement
said. "The total increase in the Negro population of the United
States was 635.3C8 and it will be noted that the increase in the
Northern States mentioned was 56 per cent of the total in
crease.
High wages and the expansion of certain industries in the
North durinsr the war were eiven as the reasons for the move
ment though it was said there probably had been a return South
of many Negroes since the war. 4 ;
Probably none will be so surprised at this announcement as
those Southerners who predicted that those Negroes who went
north would soon return to the warm sunny south where "their
white folks understood them."
It seems that they have not come back. At least it is evi-
dent that they have not returned in numbers large enough to
cause the centre of Negro population to remain stationary.
' The reason for their electing to stay may be found in the
greater facilities for secure living as they have found them there.
Less of mobbism less of daily fear of things that might happen
better schools and higher wages. -
It cannot be successfully argued that continued lynchings
and the ever-evident insecurity of home and family life that is
the rule in the majority of Southern communities are not so
heartily distwteful to all who have experienced them. Relief
from them in any form is to them highly desirable.
In our oninion those who moved away are not coming back.
And their going successfully paves the way for others to follow
if economic conditions ever seem to warrant it. ihus the shut
will conthlie until North and South will be equal sharers in "the
problem."
But this shift should not be considered too causauauy oy any
The South needs Negro labor. His long residence in itj
makes him almost indigenous to the soil. He could be of greater
advantage and use both to himself and to the section in which he
has always lived were he granted fuller freer opportunity to live
and progress as do others no more human than he.
The exodus of war times seriously hampered the agricultural
progress of the South. As to labor it has not yet become settled.
Another such exodus would be even more costly and another is
not unlikely since the return to normalcy is causing a greater de
mand for unskilled labor in manufacturing districts and our im-
migration laws are restricting a foreign influx to fill this need.
Will the South generally universally ever come to realize that
its best truest and least costly friend is the Negro who stays
with it in spite of its maltreatment of him and leaves only when
forced to? Can it realize that he only wants a chance at life lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness but that he really wants these
things? Wherever he finds these things in fuller measure he
stays and enjoys them. Would it not be better for him to find
them in the section which for two hundred years has been home
to him? ...

A WOMAN SENATOR.
POLITICS AND OURSELVES.
THERE ARE TWO major questions which are probably oc-
cupying the minds of Negro voters in Texas at this time. One
probably is whether they can vote in the November elections; the
other probably is who shall be supported by them.
The former question may be answered easily in the affirma-
tive. Yes all who have paid their Poll Tax may vote in the gen-
eral election. It is in the primary only that general voting is pro-
hibited. The latter query however is not so easy for the aspects
which it presents are far from pleasing even when most charita-
bly considered.
All of us agree that someone of the two candidates should be
voted for but the circumstances under which each of them runs
in no way meet our approval. And certainly so far as we are con-
cerned there is no sign of welcome stuck out at either door.
But a careful analysis of the two seems by no means useless.
From the utterances of Mr. MayfioH during his last cam-
paign we learned that he "would not have the office of constable"
if voted into it by-Negroes. Nor does his platform as we have
been able to piece it together offer anything constructive enough
to warrant special concern as to its being carried out in our state.
Peddy fusion candidate cannot be considered as offering
much more hope. True his backers have decided that the princi-
ples of true democracy ; e not being followed by the supporters
of the other candidate but they no lass than those from whom
they have rc -aoved themselves have from time to time declared
their unconcern as to our participation in political affairs.
Mr Peddy was nominated by lily white R Publicans pseudo
Republicans we call them a body which believes in the "no Ne-
gro" doctrine. He runs in Texas as their nominee and as far as
party councils are concerned tie votes cast for him will be count-
ed as Republican.
. His platform however has more to cause enthusiasm than
that of his opponent. It contains morf of what we believe to be
true democratic principles. This t one can deny.
To the voter attempting to make a choice between the two
the choice comes of the lesser evil. He stands between them un-
decided and well may he be. To vote for Mayfield is to support
an avowed eneny to help support a form of government in
which he does not believe.
To vote for Peddy is to bU-engthen the hold in national party
councils of the "lily-wrhitef" those to whom we are indebted for
many of the failures of the administration to mare good its prom
ises. - ''..
i There can be only one way of choosing as we see it. The vo-
i ter must think purdy and simply in ter.ns of the welfare of his
state as he sees it and vote accordingly. No party considerations
can enter into his deliberations his choice must be of men and
.measures only. . 1
BILL McDONALD MAY vote for Mayeld but we US that
'he want carry a brass band with him when he does it. If that's
twhat he calls the better side of a bad bargain we don't want to
view trus other part. ' ' .

icky. They love you today but you cm never tell about tomor

The portrait of Mrs. W. H. Felton named by the governor of Georgia
as senator to rill a vacancy caused by death reveals a noble woman a
beautiful woman we might say. for age has its beauty as well as youtb.
She is. 87 years old and must still have preserved her faculties to be con
sidered worthy of this exalted position. It is quite true however that she
may never sit in the Senate for she is designated only till a successor Is
elected in Georgia. It Is highly probably that this choice will be made be-
fore Congress meets in November so Mrs. Felton will hardly have finished
receiving congratulations before she ceased to hold office. The oppolnt-
nient however gives great pleasure to the women of Georgia and Indeed
to the entire nation. Mrs. Felton will at least retain the honor of the Unit-
ed States. . 7 .
One distinct part of Mrs. Felton's public record is approval of the
lynching of Negroes f or n unmentionable crime. The North too quickly
condemns this attitude and if we were more thoughtful we should learn
that the endorsement of noble women like Mrs. Felton proves that lynch
law Is sometimes necessary in the South. Were the crime more common
in the North a similar punishment would be Invoked for the husband or
brother who would not act when wife or sister has Identified the criminal
has no red blood in his veins. We have as much respect for law and order
as any man but as law is at present enforced this one crime cannot be for-
ginven. No woman could feel safe in the sparely settled country districts
of the South Vhere the Negroes are 20 to one were it not known that pun-
ishment for this dreadful outrage fa swift and sure.
When women really want to be senators they will win the coveted
honor for they always get what they want. But it Is quite evident that
woman jiow that she has the vote is quite content as a rule to let man do
the laymaklng. She is satisfied now that she has the chance to say what
man shall be selected. The entrance of a woman into the aristocratic
Senate club would. induct) embarrassing and humorous consequences. There
have been but few public women who were equal to such an office and we
Co not expect to see such an innovation soon. -
AKK POLICEMEN HUMAN?
Sometimes we are on the verge of concluding that policemen are not
human. This for the reason that they regularly and often perform feats
that one would expect- from a gorilla or some half savage hairy bodied
low browed cave man. They don't seem to have the slightest conception
of their duties as officers of the law. They seem to feel that they are
the creators of the law or else they are below the average in telllgence. j
We sometimes feel that the average p oliceman is mentally deficient. This
is true or else they are brutalized by the system after they get on the
force.
All this leads us to discuss some recent beatings administered to Ne-
groes by these policemen who are certainly not entitled to any designation
but that of thug. We have the report of two policemen going to a house
recently pulling a drunken man out of bed and beating and .kicking him
until he was unconscious and the walls and floor covered with his blood.
We learn of another case In which a Colored man was taken from one
station to another and beat and battered by poUcemen in each station visit-
ed. . . ; ' ;
This week we had a chance to see an Instance of police intelligence
for ourselves. Two Ignorant Colored men got into some difficulty in a
bootleg shop. One is said to have pulled a razor. Finally they were taken
in tow by a man who is a frequenter of the whisky place. While being
held one of the men was struck several times by the bootlegger.
Soon a policeman came rushing up grabbed the men without asking
any questions and without being sure that they had done anything at all.
The word of two white loafers In an illegal liquor store was sufficient for
this policeman to arrest two Colored men. On the way to .the loc'.up one
of these white men made a remark to one of the Negroes who replied that
he was a '.'damned liar." Thereupon the policeman began to beat the Color-
ed .man over the head. We saw all this with our own eyes. Therefore we
are prompted to ask "Are policemen human?" If they are do they have
Inferior intelligence and inferior morals?
This beating and clubbing of Negroes has come to Buch.a pass that
some steps ought to be taken to stop it. Trial by the trial board is not
enough. A policeman who strikes a prisoner except in order .to protect
himself Is a law-breaker and a criminal and has no business on the force
or at liberty. If citizens cannot get redress from the heads ot the police
bureau or the courts it is their duty to protect themselves from such mis-
treatment by the most effective means at their emmand.

A MOB OF TWELVE.
The twelve men who lynched a Negro at Montgomery must have de-
cided to make their number twelve and not more than twelve with refer-
ence to the fact that twelve Is the number that constitutes a Jury.
The twelve murders proceeded to the home of a man who "was accus-
ed of aiding a man accused of murder to make his escape."
The man who escaped had not been tried and possibly was not guilty
of murder. The man accused of having aided the man accused .of mur-
der may not have been gu'.Hy of having aided the accused.
But the i-iobability that an Innocent man'r life may be taken often
weighs little with mobs large or small. If there is little probability that
anyone who takes part In the lynching will be convicted of murder.
The "Jurors" of Montgomery tried by an honest Jury for deliberate
murder would be held guilty. Doubtlessany honest grand Jury sitting in
Montgomery could discover their identity but is there the slightest prob-
ability that an honest effort will be made?
The reasonable objection to the Dyer anti-lynching bill which still is
being discussed and in behalf of the passage of which the Alabama out-
rage will be mentioned is not that it might result in murder being pun-
ished for there is no support of lynching among enlightened men and
vomen In the United ' States. The bill Is objectionable because it would
single out one crime as a crime which should cause a suspension of the
rights of the States.
If twelve Alabamlans constitute a mob the Dyer bill would give the
Federal Government power to prosecute twelve men because they confed-
erated or Joined forces without confederating to murder a man accussed
of having aided a man accussed of crime.
Why then should two men guilty of a similar crime not be piosecuted
as a mob by the Federal Government? And why if two men R.'tould be
prosecuted by the Federal Government for killing a third man r!-euld not
one man be prosecuted by the Federal Government for killing another
man? Louisville Courier Journal.

CHAPTER ELEYEJf.
A Thunderbolt
The vice gang trial was over. The
minor members of the gang had re-
ceived their sentences and had been
taken away to serve them. The ring-
leaders Broder and Wardell had
escaped but they would dare show
themselves again within the border
of New Jersey. By the absolute fear-
lessness of one man the most power-
ful nest of corruption in the Btate
had been kicked and cattered Into
nothing.
Clare wood's victory was the most
smashing ever won by a district attor-
ney in the history of the stato; on
lesser achelvements men had been
ifted to the governorship the nation
al senate even to the Presidency. No
man had ever been so rapid- ly ele-
vated as John Clarewood might have
been had not that diary been printed
and acknowleged by him as the
truth. Clarewood was the best man
for the governorship but he stood
branded as a Negro. Hid praises re-
sounded from every editorial page
in the North letters of congratulation
poured in upon him by the hundred
but he was a Negro. His former club-
mates and society friends thanked
God for him knd prayed God to
make them like unto him except
that he was a Negro but they did
not ask him back Into their clubs
and homes. His life had been torn
by the roots; on'y his chauffeur re-
mained. And the chauffeur was a
NepTO.
Clarewood was not worried for
after his night of agony and his loss
of Vlrginln social honors looked
small and cheap.' He only wanted to
resign his position sell his property
and go away. He was full of this
plan one day as he was on his way
home from the office. His car had
broften down and he wa'ked the rest
of the way passing through the street
he had known since his infancy. Hiw
dear they seemed how hard to leave
behind! -
As he neared his house he was
suprised to see a taxtcab in front of
it He looked at the veranda but
there wa no visitor awaiting him
there. He turned to the cabman.
"Whq went In there?"
"A gentleman sir."
"But there's no one in the house
and the door Is locked.."
"Somebody's In there mister cause
when he rung the bell they opened
the door and went in. He told me
to wait for Mm."

to
"He didn't write to me!" Virginia
broke in. "i wish to God he had!"
"You defend him!" raged her father.
"Tou a Bellmore against your
own father defending your nigger
paramour!''
"Look here!" shouted Clarewood.
"Dont insult my wife!"
"Your wife! Your wife! You tricked
her into marriage like the dirty liar
you "
"Call me all the names you want"
rejoined Clarewood who was now
the calmest of the three.
"You're her father' and your age!'
"Danun my age! I'm not too o'd
to protect my daughter's honor from
a nigger. If you were In the South
we'd have burned your blace heart
out at stake. You stole her you kept
her in your dirty black arms for
five years you "
His own words drove him crazy.
He rushed at Clarewood clapping
his hand to his pocket. Virginia
screamed and clutched his hand with
both hers before he drew his pistol.
Clarewood in an agony of fear lest
the gun explode and hurt her grab-
bed the Senator's arm just as Virginia
was flung to her knees. With his
free arm the Senator struck and
clawed at Clarewood and the air was
bue with his cursing.
"You dirty black do take
your hands off me you black sou
of hell you '
Clarewood finally got the pistol
away from him. Virginia threw her
arms around her father's neck plead-
ing with him.
"Now senator we'll talk this out.
Whether Virginia withes to go with
you or. stay with me she shall have
a free choolce. You cant sette this
by murder."
Then for the first time Clarewood
became awaro of a large figure loom-
ing in the doorway and a voice ring-
ing like a command.
"Jackson Bellmo! you Jes' stop this
here cuttin' up."
"Aunt Annie!" cried Clarewood
then with the other two he started
In suprlse at the old colored woman's
disrespectful! manner. Aunt Annie
looking very determined marched
into the room and confronted the sen-
ator. He glared at her.
"Who asked you in here to medd'o

snapped the senator.

nnerv command came- frnm lhlJhn and Virginia looked at each
uuier amonisneu to near the senator
addressed so premptorily by the old
servant. The Benator too was speech-
less for a moment then with an
obviouB effort he calmed himself a
he never would have done for Clare-
wood. "Annie Henderson" he said finaty"
your forty years of service in my
family has brought you many prlv leg
but when you acost me as Jackson
Bellmore and meddle in this affair
you go too far."
Aunt Annie's figure already large
seemed to diulte tl'l it overtowercd
every one else in the room. Her eyes
widened her face was hard she took
a step towards the. senator and faced
hlra. eye to eye.
"Yes "I'll meddle.'' she said boldly
"and" It's high time I did. Jinny's

"What do you mean?" exploded the
senator. "I'm Virginia's father!"
Then the old woman struck them

TWO YOUNG COLORED GIRLS.
SOUTHERN WOMEN AND THE NEGRO.
; Scattered lndldlvuals in the South who have long walked for Justice
for the Negro have believed that rapid progress could be made only when
Southern white women should take up the matter enough &t then' to in-
fluence public opinion and community standards. This time was inevita-
bly delayed by the "poverty of the South after the Civil war and the In-
tense individualism thereby developed.' There was always a quick person-
al conscience regarding the Negro and much uklividual service to meet his
r Vds but community conscience for a race fe.'oup had to wait.
During tuj last generation however Btep by step progress has been
n.nde particularly among the v omen's society of the various religious de-
nominations and the Young Women's Christian Association. At church
conferences and conventions of women it is Increasingly common to Invite
Colored women to speak to the white women on matters which concern
women of all races the world around. These women are netting the Negro
child the Negro girl the Negro home in a new and vivid light before their
hearers. They speak with restraint with dignity with the force of deep
feeling and conviction. If the white women are helping them to uplift the
"ress fortunate of their ;r.ce these Negro women in turn are helping their
white friends to a broader and tmr outlook on the world.
So from small and Isolated beginnings the leaven has been at work
until finally the time was ripe for a wide concerted movement. Two years
ago Southu.n women made the 'irst definite move toward co-operation
with other agencies appointfns i commission on race relationships to
study and rjport or. nteds of Nepro women and children and methods of
meeting these need3. Later the Southeastern Federation of Colored Wom-
en's Clubs adoyted a statement of the matters In which It felt the nbed
