Mob Law
The Beaumont riot came as a
distinct surprise to most of us
who had come to feel that
' lynch law ‘ had given way in
our progress to a respect for
organized processes ol law. The
Beaumont mob however, was a
throwback to days and deeds
that most of us Southern people
would like to forget. We sin-
cerely hope that at least folks
will have learned a lesson in the
awfulness and terror of such an
outbreak. We also hope that,
regardless of creed, color or nat-
ionality that the leaders of the
Beaumont mob will be appre-
hended and punished as their
crimes deserves.
The same crime that aroused
all of this furore is recorded in
the papers frequently—more
frequently where the assaulter
is a white man—and little is
hoard of it. The guilty faces
the court and is punished. Why,
then, should thousands of inno-
cent negroes be persecuted for
the crime of one? Think of the
negroes you know and see it; on
the whole, our black neighbors
are not conducting themselves
about as well as we white folk
who have the advantage of
thousands of years more opport-
unity for advancement than
they.

Honored With
Bridal Shower
Mrs. Colleen Woodrome,
formerly Miss Colleen Wood-
yard was honored last Friday,
June 18th with a bridal shower
given by Mrs. Marlin Archer
and Mrs. Homer Goss.
Games were played and re-
freshments were served.
there was a wave of loose talk
telling of prospective trouble
between the whites and negroes
in Houston. Rumor was rife
and many expected an uprising
of major proportions On the
18th the Houston Chronicle
carried a full page advertise-
ment signed by leaders of inter-
racial relations groups both
white and Flack assuring us that
the rumors were just loosa talk.
Their prophecy was proven by
the extremely quiet and well
behaved celebration of emanci-
pation day by the negroes in
Houston. This writer, for one,
will let lists be a lesson to him
regarding tha listening to or
repealing of such loose talk.

HUMBLE VIEWS
Flag Day has come and gone.
Our people are most patriotic
right now, yet, on the celebra-
tion of flag day we are told that
on Barrett street, our main bus-
iness thoroughfare that aside
from the post office only one
merchant displayed the stars
and stripes. Seems like some-
thing ougntto be done about this
Our flag should mean so much
to us that on national holidays
at least, and flag day above all,
that business houses should dis-
play the American flag.
That nice new reoeptacle tor
tin cans is being filled at a very,
very, slow rate indeed. Come
on folks—I know that lots of
you use a can opener at your
home. Save those cans and lets
show the mayor and his associ-
ates that we really appreciate
what thev have done and chat
we ar* anxious to cooperate by
saving our cans. Remember:
they don’t have to be flattened,
the tops don't have to be cut
off and you don't have to re-
move the labels. Just bring the
(clean) cans and dump them in
the bin. The war effort will
profit.
Our “orchid” today goes to a
man who has lived in our midst
nearly two years. Jn that time
he has endeared himself to all
who have come in contact with
him, and between us, it is hard
to keep from meeting him. W7e
refer to Rev. Hal Cunningham,
pastor of the Methodist church.
“HaP as Rev. Cunningham is
affectionately known is essenti-
ally a man's man: He is blessed
with a keen sense of humor, with
that rare attribute of being able
to enjoy a joke at his own ex-
pense as well as at the other
fellows. His life among us has
been one of servioe. He is a
good preacher, a good workman
and a good fellow. Certainly
Humble will long feel the im-
print of his influence and we
hope that the powers that be in
Methodism will return him to
us again and again.
