EMPLOYS INSTRUCTOR FOR COLORED ATHLETES Pittsburg, Pa., July 29.—Acording to Mr. Turner, manager of the Pitts burg Steel Company’s team at Mones sen, the superintendent of that plant was so impressed with the showing ol' the Colored athletes in the recent press meet, that he has engaged an instrutcor in athletics to train the Colored employees of his plant in all branches of athletics. PRESS OPINIONS Hollow Mockery to Lecture Europeans It ill becomes Americans to pass resolutions condemning the execution of spies in Belgium or the shooting of rebels in Ireland while it is pos sible for such things as the Waco (Tex.) outrage to happen in this country. The Germans who put Edith Cavell to death at least were acting under the color of law and recognized usages of war. The killing of the riot leaders in Dublin was one of the stern measures to which nations re sort deliberately in times of war. There was absolutely no excuse for Waco. A Colored boy had been arrested and convicted. He admitted his guilt and was sentenced to death. The mob, in its frenzy, was unwilling to await a legal execution and was at first disposed to impose the penalty at once by hanging him from a sus pension bridge. Then the plan was altered and he was chained to a tree in the city hall yard and was burned in the presence of 15,000 people Later the charred body was placed in a sack and dragged through the prin cipal streets of the city, and when last seen the horseman was headed in the direction of the home of the victim. The only explanation for the con duct of those responsible for the Texas horror is that it was the act of unbalanced minds. Those who wreaked vengeance on their victim did not use reason or judgment, but were for the moment insensate brutes. They were a disgrace to their state and nation. When supposedly sane people in peaceful America can be guilty of such atrocities without pro vocation, does it not sound presump tuous and hollow mockery for us to presume to lecture Europeans who are laboring under the strain of a struggle for national existence?—The Indianapolis Star. CAUSES OF UNREST AMONG COLORED AMERICANS (Continued From First Page) 'ifty newspapers and other publica ons in America devoted exclusively the interests of Colored people, nearly all edited by Negroes—have shown an increasing impatience and boldness of tone. The utter ignorance if the great mass of white Americans as to what is really going on among the colored people of the country is appalling—and dangerous. We for get that there are 10,000,000 of them, one-tenth of our population and that their strides toward racial self-con sciousness in the last twenty years have been marvelous. We have known next to nothing about their construc tive development, and have not want ed to know; we have preferred to consider the Negro and all his affairs as beneath notice. “Such, then, are the influences that are making for unrest and upheaval, and there is no denying their signifi cance or their power.” LECTURED ON SHAKESPEARE New York, July 29.—Professor A. H. Locke, who was the first Colored Rhodes scholar from the United States and who is now professor of English literature at Howard Univer sity, Washington, D. C., gave an in teresting letcure on the “Taming of the Shrew” to “Ye Friends of Shape speare.” at the Progressive Hall, 129 West 136th street on Sunday, July 16th.
