CANADA JUSTIFIED Canada was justified in re rusing extradition of Matthew Bullock to North Carolina is clear not only from the conditions which com pelled him to flee from the State, but also by the defiant tone of certain of the newspapers of that state. Bul lock’s seventeen year old brother was lynched, not for the crime or alleged crime of rape, which, in spite of data to the contrary, our Southern friends tell us is the chief cause of lynching, but because of a dispute which arose over wrong change given to him by a white clerk from whom he had bought apples. In the altercation which arose, in which members of both races participated, several whites as well as blacks were wounded. Young Bullock, who was accused of starting the trouble, was lynched and Matthew Bullock, who tried to pro tect his younger brother, the victim of the mob, miraculously escaped with his life. He fled to Canada. A charge of “inciting riot” was lodged against him. Demand was made on Canada for his extradition. The min ister of justice took the case under advisement. During his residence in Canada- Matthew Bullock had proven an exemplary citizen. He was a man of good character in North Carolina. The Canadian authorities, justly fear ing that he would be lynched, refused to extradite him and released him from custodv. Governor Morrison of North Carolina assured Canada that if Bullock were returned he would be protected and-given a fair trial. How well Governor Morirson would have been able to fulfill his pledge to the Canadian government may be gleaned from the following editorial published in the Durham, N. C., Sun, of Januar 24- lf>22, which shows the sentiment of that state: “Governor Morrison of North Caro lina assures Canada that Bullock will be in no danger if he returns to this State. Depend upon it, however, if Bullock does come back it won’t be because of Governor Morrison’s as surance. A North Carolina nigger who has killed his white man knows more about a white man’s uncertainty when fooling with a hair trigger than any Chief Executive that ever reign ed in Raleigh.” NEBRASKA’S VOTE IN THE HOl’SE rpHE Monitor had hoped that Ne braska’s entire .delegation would have supported the Dyer Bill. In this, however, we were disappointed. Among the most active opponents of the measure was Representative Rea vis, whose claim was that is opposi tion was based solely upon its un constiututionality, and that he was anxious to so amend it that it would stand the test of the Supreme Court. Be that as it may, but why did he not submit his amendments, which would make it Supreme Court proof? His tactics were those of the avowed enemies of the measure. As able lawyers as Mr. Reavis claim that it is constitutional, and so far as that is concerned, it seems to us that this .Nebraska congressman could have I well afforded to have left its consti | tutionality up to the Supreme Court, i His refusal to vote at all does not I impress us as the most manly thing i for him to have done especially in the face of his outspoken opposition. | His vote should have followed his i voice. Evans also stood on the fence I and voted present. Jefferis, Andrews and McLoughlin supported the bill. 1 Their constituents in their respective I districts should write them expressing their appreciation. I MARIA BALDWIN, TEACHER T AST week we carried an article on J the death of Miss Maria L. Bald win, who for forty years had been one of the most successful and well beloved teachers in New England, i For several years Miss Baldwin had | served most acceptably as principal of the Aggasiz school, which was at tended by children from some of the most exclusive homes in Cambridge, Mass. When the school was enlarged she was promoted to master, or vir tually superintendent of this large school. There w as never the slight est friction between her and the large corps of teachers who taught under her. Her ability was recognized in spite of her color. Miss Baldwin’s unique career emphasizes, among other things, the strange paradoxes of American life. Her career should furnish inspiration to members of our race to develop the best that is in them, Norton's ^treatment and appre ciation of Miss Baldwin, upon the sole grounds of character and ability should be emulated by other com munities. WHAT EDITORS SAY AG AIN ST LA WL ESS N ESS The convention of the Los Angeles diocese of the Episcopal church in its ■ meeting on the 26th of January adopted a resolution in part as fol Iwos: “Resolved, that this convention de plores the gross indifference to law and order as evidenced bv disregard of part of the constitution of the United States arid many acts of mob rule in various paits of the country: that it goes on record as in favor of prompt law enforcement, and, “Further, that it calls on all Chris tians to stand for the existing law of the land and for properly- constituted order.” That a body as large, as powerful j and influential as is the Episcopal connection in this part of the stat" should speak out so plainly and broad- : ly against the flagrant violations of our constitution and against mob rule is of the greatest value to the state and nation. We would that all re ligious organizations would speak out in this fashion again and again, and feel that while they are doing so they | will not only preserve the law- in their own sections of the country, but will in time create a sentiment that will make enforcement of the law a reality in all sections of our country.—Tire Western Dispatch. Los Angeles. THE HUMILIATION OF IT I,egal minds may find it hard if not j impossible to see how the Canadian immigration law- could have been so interpreted as to prevent tbe deporta tion of Matthew Bullock, thp Negro j whom North Carolina is trying to j extradite. Yet everybody is glad that Canada I refuses t° deport Bullock. The man is in fear of his life if he goes back to his home State. He believes he will be lynched. The instinct of common humanity j revolts at the idea of depriving thi Negro of his Canadian refuge. In short, Canada has stretched her law till it cracked in order to make i up for the lack of enforcement of her own laws to protect human life. It mav be irregular in Canada, but it is fine. But what a humiliation for our selves ! What pang in the thought that a I i fair trial in court can be so much a matter of doubt to any American cit- I izen, white or black, that another • country has to step into the breach and cover with her mantle a man for whom the law of his own land should be an all-sufficient protection. —Sunday Buffalo Times. j EPISCOPAL CHI RCH OF ST.

He fought for the rigid, then went ahead to a glorious death in the AJa ino. Crockett was born In Tennessee in I7.se. He came of fighting stock for his father, a tavern keeper, had been a soldier in the Revolution. Young Crockett’s early years were spent In roaming the Tennessee woods, hunting. lie became a re nown, d hear hunter, a fume which he shared with his favorite ride, "Old Betsy."

In February, 1836, Davy with 12 of his Tennessee friends arrived at the Mis sion del Alamo where Col. William Travis with a little army of less than 200 men was defying the Mexican dic tator, Santa Anna. Santa Anna had a force of 5,000 men. and although the Texans had a chance to escape before this over whelming army cut off their retreat, they refused to do so. The Mexican general surrounded the rude little adobe fort. His demand for its sur render was met with scorn. Then be raised the red flag which meant, "No quarter,” and attacked. The long rifles of the Texans mowed down the Mexican soldiers driven to the attack. On March 6 Santa Anna prepared for a grand assault. Twenty five hundred picked men were detailed to be hurled against the fort. The first assault was beaten hack with heavy loss.

Sydney, X. S. W.—The search for oil which hits been going on with meager j results for years in the large island of 1 Papua has been extended to the por tion known as German Xew Guinea, where It Is said there are much better 1 indications. This territory is now un der Australian mandate. Experts of the Anglo-Perslan Oil company, which has an agreement with the commonwealth by which each will share In the benefits of any discovery, are prospecting thoroughly. Several private parties also are In the field. Oil prospecting is being retarded, however, because the Australian gov ernment has not decided on a land policy for mandated territories.
