ARTICLE XIV, CONSTITUTION OF THE f
; \ UNITED STATES $
!! Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged
!I 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States. 2
I; and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the X
;; United States and of the State wherein they reside. No £
i > state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the •{•
!! privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor X
;; shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or prop- £
■ > erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person •{
!! within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
DAWKS FIRES A DI D
ENERAL DAWKS in his recent so
called “denunciation of the Klan”
fired a dud. He had better said noth
ing. His utterances have deservedly
laid him open to criticism; for he
clearly gave encouragement to that
organization. He criticised it in one
breath and justified it in another. He
regretted its violence and tactics in
certain quarters, bnt said, in effect,
that in places there was some justifi
cation for its existence. He is ab
solutely wrong. No conditions, in
Oklahoma or elsewhere, in these Unit
ed States justify such an organiza
tion. If the law cannot be executed
or enforced by the orderly procedure
of the courts and the regularly con
stituted authorities, civil and military,
then American civilization is doomed.
There is never any justification for
the mob, despite the fact that America
seems to think so, and the Klan, not
withstanding its apologists, is a cow
ardly and lawless mob. There is no
justification whatsoever for it. Dawes
shot a dud, when he should have fired
a broadside.
A GREAT BENEFACTOR
JJENRY WHIPPLE HUBBARD at
A the age of 83 years has entered
into well-earned rest. He was one of
earth's noblemen, a great benefactor
of humanity in general and of our
own race in particular. All over this
country there are eminent and suc
cessful physicians and surgeons for
whom the vision and1 courage of I)r.
Hubbard made it possible to enter
that honorable and useful profession.
At a time when the doors of very few
institutions were open to Negro youth
in th North and none in the South
Dr. Hubbard belonging to that band
of noble and courageous white men and
women of New England, who, believ
ing in practical Christianity, went
South to found schools for our people.
He founded Meharry Medical school
at Nashville, Tenn., and for sixty
years wag an outstanding figure in
Nashville in educational work among
our people. Meharry is his monument.
But more lasting than Meharry are
the memorials he has wrought in the
hearts and the lives of the thousands
of young men and women who came
under his influence and for whom
he made it possible to secure honor
able and useful careers in the med
ical, dentil and nursing professions.
M’eharry men rank high in their pro
fession. They are well trained and
conscientious. This bespeaks the
character, thoroughness and ideals of
the founder and president of the
school. It is men of the type and
mould of the late Dr. Hubbard, of
whom there are far too few in our day
and generation, who do much, to re
deem the name of the dominant race
fron^ the charge of injustice and in
sincerity in its attitude towards and
its dealing with our people. We owe
a debt to such men as he and that
debt can only be paid by showing our
selves worthy of the opportunities
made for us by those whom we will
always hold in grateful remembranc
ACT WISELY
TT IS GRATIFYING to notice that
the managers of the National Repub
lican campaign have acted very wise
ly in selecting many of the younger
and progressive men of our race to do
active work among our people. Mat
thews of Boston is an excellent choice
to head the bureau. Roscoe Simmons
as head of the publicity and speakers
bureau could not be improved upon.
Francis of St. Paul, Minn., who heads
the western division is clean, capable
and forcible. Robert Church, Emmett
Scott and Robert Vann are live wires.

A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM RACE
:: PREJUDICE
;", By Morney Williams !!
(For the Associated Negro Press) J;
:: g^ GOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and S
;: f 1 who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, Xf
; • because of difference in race .color or condition, to Y
I * separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but /
!: teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of $
;: Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew Y
* mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House ?
! I of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician wo- j
! I man and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be X
;; carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and Y
■ > serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole v
II human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and 2
;; hardness of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ X
> died, or injure any in whom He lives. Amen. Y
And this is true of the entire organ
ization. The republican leaders have
acted wisely in the choice of their
campaign forces to operate among col
ored voters who in this campaign are
an unknown quantity and a most valu
able political asset. This recognition
of the younger element is a wise move
ment.
DEFENSE TEST DAY
JpRIDAY is Defense Test Day. It is
designated to test the ability of the
nation to defend itself in case of war.
It is simply an inventory-taking move
ment. Our people are urged to take
thetr part in it and will doubtless do
so. Its purpose is explained in an
article in this issue.
A WORD ABOUT SCHOOLS
WE ARE GRATIFIED to call atten
tion to the large enrollment of col
ored youth in the High schools of the
city. This is as it should be. Chil
dien should be encouraged to go to
High school and college and to take
every advantage of their educational
opportunities. In the meanwhile we
should be utilizing our resources to
the utmost to help prepare places for
them commensurate with their train
ing, talents and ability when the days
of their pupilage are ended.
REMEMBER HISTORY
pjISTORY is a record of past events.
Study it and be guided. Do not
forget that the Knights of the Golden
Circle prepared the way for the War
of the Rebellion which aimed at the
overthrow of the Federal Government
and the establishment of the Southern
Confederacy. Be not misguided. The
Ku Klux Klan is striving for the con
trol of the government. If successful
it means Civil War. “Domes'ic fury
and fierce civil strife will cumber all
the parts of Italy (or of America
Remember history!

Nebraska Civil
Rights Bill
Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska,
Civil Rights—Enacted in 1893:
Sec. 1. CIVIL RIGHTS OF PERSONS. All persons j
within this state shall be entitled to a full and equal
enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities
and privileges of inns, restaurants, public conveyances, !
barber shops, theatres and other places of amusement;
subject only to the conditions and limitations established
by law and applicable alike to every person.
Sec. 2. PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF PRECED- I
ING SECTION. Any person who shall violate the fore
going section by denying to any person, except for rea- j1
sons of law applicable to all persons, the full enjoyment
of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or
privileges enumerated in the foregoing section, or by i
aiding or inciting such denials, shall for each offense be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined in any sum not less
than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred
dollars, and pay the costs of the prosecution.
“The original act was held valid as to citizens;
barber shops can not discriminate against persons on
account of color. Messenger vs. State, 25 Nebr.. Page
677. N. W. 688." ’ ^
“A restaurant keeper who refuses to serve a colored
person with refreshments in a certain part of his res
taurant, for no other reason than that he is colored is
civilly liable, though he offers to serve him by setting
a table in a more private part of the house. Ferguson vr
Gies, 82 Mich. 858; N. W. 718.”
