' ’ I , o DEATH OF THE DYER BILL "Y^/TITH an apparently all-powerful ar ray of influence among republi can leaders the Dyer bill has been put to death in the United States Senate. It was killed wantonly and designedly by the democratic filibuster adroitly planned and determinedly used by the Southern bloc. The democrats openly and frankly avowed that their filibus ter was for the sole purpose of killing the anti-lynching measure and that it would be continued until successful. The democrats continued their tactics until the republicans weakly surren dered and the Dyer Bill was given its death blow. This would not have been if any considerable number of the re publican senators were honestly ana sincerely in favor of the measure. Too many of them were only half-hearted in their support of the bill. True, it had a few earnest and sincere cham pions, men who fought for it from sin J cere convictions, but they were hope lessly in the minority. If all the powerful coterie who stated they were in favor of the measure had meant what they said the filibuster would have failed. The filibustering demo crats would have met their Waterloo. Since the democrats foolishly elected to make the Dyer Bill a partisan and sectional question and planned to de feat it, the rrepublicans should have been just as determined to have passed ; it or carried on the fight until dooms I day, if necessary. Instead we have the humiliating .spectacle of the South I again working its sweet will in fed ; eral legislation and defeating a meas ure which would undoubtedly have ! helped the mob-rridden South in re , lieving itself from this burden. The defeat of this remedial legislation is I due more to the half-hearted support of the republicans than to the deter mined opposition of the democrats. But the death of the Dyer Bill does not mean that the fight against lynch [ ing will stop; nor does it mean that j no federal law against this crrime will be placed upon the statute books. The friends of this measure, and they are legion throughout the country, will see ‘.o it that the fight for adequate fed ! oral legislation to suppress lynching will continue until victory is won. The Dyer Bill points the way. A GREAT VICTORY jP’ROM a racial point of view the fight for the Dyer Bill has proven a great victory even now. How? It has united our group and taught us the value of united action. Our press has been a unit for the measure. Pul pit, rostrum, forum, school and lodge have massed their efforts on this ! measure and have created a most fav I orablc impression. The intelligent and forceful work of the N. A. A. C. P. has borne rich fruit. It was this united action that accounted for its passage in the House and was respon sible for its reluctant admission to the ! calendar in the Senate. In demon strating the fact that there is at least one issue upon which the American Negro can and did forcefully unite a I great victory ha been won and a de- ' 1 tided step forward has been taken BEING PALS rJ''HE Monitor is strongly of the opin- ! ion that many a domestic tragedy ! would be averted if husbands and! wives would continue to be pals. When we say domestic tragedy, we mean the all too frequent breaking up ! of the home by the increasing crime | of divorce. The estrangement which leads to the divorce court all too fre | quently begins in the failure upon the | part of the man or the woman to be | a pal; to like or take interest in the | things which the other likes. Try the i experiment of being pals after mar ; riage like you were in the days pre | ceding marriage and during the honey ; moon, and see if the faults that now | loom so large in each other and threat en domestic shipwreck do not disap pear. Being genuine pals, as husband and wife, is much needed today. Hon estly try it. DO NOT DISTRUST BANKS rpHE fact that a good number of our people have deposits in the Amer ican State Rank which has just closed may discourarge some from putting their money in banks. This should not Ire. Fortunatellv, due to the ! state guarantee fund, no depositors will lose a single penny. This is quite different from what it used to be. There may be a few day's delay in getting one's m'oney, hut the money is safe. Do not distrust banks, but I continue to use them in saving your I money. Our people are learning to | -ave and banks and like savings in stitutions are the proper places to put your money. __ - 4 Battling Siki has learned the Am erican trick of keeping in the lime light.

ISN’T LUCIUS JONES A HERO? “If a Negro is good enough to die or to suffer grievous wounds on the battlefields of Europe, isn’t he good enough to occupy the German towns until the final peace settlement?” This was the question on the tongue of Lucius Jones, wounded soldier, when he interrupted Senator Hitch cock’s tirade in the Senate recently against Clemenceatf, and the French government’s use of black troops. Of course Jones’ action was against the rules of the Senate, but after all is it not bad enough for an ex-soldier to spend the balance of his life a cripple, without having to sit down quietly and hear United States Senat ors rail about the use of colored troops in Germany ? Isn’t Jones’ action a stem rebuke to men of the Hitchcock and Heflin type ? Isn’t he a type of the black hero, who will refuse from now on to bear insults without pro- I test ?—Baltimore Afro-American. TORONTO HAS TABLET TO •THE COLORED BOY WHO WILL NEVER COME BACK” Toronto, Canada, Poo. 8.— (Associ ated Negro Press.)—On Armistice Pay, as the great Cenotaph was be ing decorated with flowers, tablets and memorials were receiving similar decorations throughout the city. in a place of honor in the Hall of the Ontario parliament building is a large tablet dedicated ‘To the Col ored Boys Who Will Never Come Back”. It too, received its floral wreath. It recalled to memory the first Armistice Pay when the tablet, which was purchased through the efforts of Mr. J. R. B. Whitney, was unveiled by Premier E. C. Drury, as hundred? of both races stood at attention. There was no ceremony this year but many Torontonians made a pil grimage to this sacred spot. BOOMING BOISE FOR SALE 2417 Caldwell street. A.
