It is not merely a for mal and conventional greeting but really voices the sincere sentiments of all who use it. There is a desire upon the part of all that in the New Year about to dawn mankind may find happiness, prosperity and suc cess. It is the conscious recognition that the New Year offers or may of fer opportunities for progress and advancement that the Old has with held. The new the untried invites. Each dawning year should be and real ly is better than that which precedes it. This must be so if we believe, as ^ we should believe, that "Through the ages one unceasing pur pose runs” and that God is working His purpose out, despite the frailties and short comings of His children, through whom and with whom He wills to work out His plans, as year succeeds to year. If we believe in progress, then each year is better than its pre decessor and will be for us if wre would have it so. This does not nec essarily mean freedom from sorrow or suffering, but it does mean the ability to rise to higher and better things. Let us highly resolve as the New Year dawns to strive to live more worthy lives doing our full duty in that state of life unto which it shall please God to call us and then in a very real and true sense the coming year will be for us a Happy and Prosperous New Year. May it be so to all our readers. WHAT IS BEFORE US. HTHIS we do not really know. But we do know that in this era of readjustment our own group, in com mon with others, will be put upon its mettle; will have to submit to the acid test of endurance, self-re straint, ability to achieve and meet epoch-making and character-fixing is sues as they arise. WTe are growing year by year into a consciousness of our manhood rights. Not only is this true of our people in this country but throughout the entire world. Nor is it confined to peoples of our race and lineage. There is a demand for social justice upon the part of others J placed in similar conditions to our j own among all the peoples of the earth. So our demand here for social justice is but an echo of the universal cry. We feel discrimination and other limitations keenly because of our progress. This is a mark of our progress. Until these unjust limita tions are removed we cannot be con tent. The world-urge for social just ice constrains us. While lawfully con- i tending for the right we must never! forget that we are striving for the triumph of principles, not of individ- j uals; and must never let the spirit of; hatred or ill-will embitter us. We must never lose faith in God. We must always put our trust in Him and strive to do His will. From this van j tage ground, whatever may be before us we shall be able to meet it like men. — THE DYER BIEL. \ MERICA is a stench in the nostrils | x of the nations because of the j bloodred record of its lynchings! Of i these mob murders, averaging 115 a I year or one every third day in the I year for the past thirty years, mem bers of our race, of both sexes have ' been, with notably few exceptions, the victims. Naturally then, Colored Americans are primarily and vitally | interested in any measure which may I suppress this evil. But this is a mat ter, aside from the physical pain which the victims must endure, which affects this whole nation, more fundamentally I and vitally than it can our group who are so largely the victims of mob vio : lence, for it undepnines the very foun dation of the republic and makes America a bye-word and a reproach. It menaces the nation's existence. All Americans, therefore, as a matter of self-preservation should lend the full wreight of their influence to the 1 suppression of lynching. States prac tically admit they are powerless to | suppress it. A federal law seems the I best remedy. Such a bill is now be fore congress. It is the Dyer Bill. It should be passed not as a partisan measure, not as a sectional measure, but as a sincere effort to do something effectual and practical to suppress the evil of lynching from which all sec tions of this country suffer. It seems to us that the South upon which crime of mob murder rests so heavily would welcome and support any measure that will help it in its sincere desire to uphold the law of the land of which there has been striking evidence this year. The Dyer Bill offers this as sistance and relief and should be passed. Partisan heat and passion, sectional pVide and arrogance and everything else that hinders should be set aside and the measure passed upon its merits as a sincere effort to remove from America the menace of the lyncher. -- Events and Persons Mrs. Bertie Truehart and her daughter, Audrey, have gone to Kan sas City and Atchison to visit rel atives and friends.
