The Boers of South Africa have given us a more ruthless racial regime than evf r their Anglo Saxon cousins of Georgia. The Germans are known to b • more frankly brutal in their colo_ n'ul policy than England with her n us refined and recondite method of subordination Every fresh outbreak of race pre_ judice shocks us as an outrage a_ gainst human nature. Murder, lynch, ir.g and burning of human bodies in Georgia occur with such frequency that each recurrent atrocity makes a feeble impression upon our seared sensibilities. A kindly providence has made us immune to recurrent shocks, else we could not endure the repeated impact of these human atrocities and horrid happenings. The Christian lister of the Gospel reads a lynch, ng and burning while at the break, rc-t table, experiences a momentary ding of _regret, takes a fresh sip of coffee, and turns the conversation to thoughts of a lighter vein.

Box—11, Atlanta, Georgia. from his jnind, which quickly reverts to the contemplaton of the glories of free institutions. Even the Negro, the brunt.bearer of it all, is momentarily aroused to a pitch of verbal fury, and forthwith reverts t° his accustomed | carefree mood. It is human nature to justify one’s self by shaping one’s emotions to his dealings. Do not the good white Christians of Georgia seek easement of conscience by placing the Negro under the ban of outlawry in that they belong to an inferior social and moral order? There is to be found somewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures the blessed assurance that the Lord’s anointed shall be given the heathen for their possession who shall be ruled with a rod of iron and broken to pieces like a potter’s vessel. He that ! sitteth in the Heaven shall laugh. The justification outdoes the perpetration ir. compounding outrages against hu_ man nature. Why reason with the wolf that he has made the ewe bleat for the lamb, if sheep were made for wolves to devour ? Must we forever lay our civilization and our Christian, ity aside while race prejudice rages in Georgia? Alas! while statesman, ship and religion are dumb, we must wait upon Echo for an answer. But Germany has no such pretext as Georgia. The Jew and the German both belong to the white race. Racial differences are of low visability. There is no wide.apart margin in the levels of culture. The two peoples have been living together for a thou, sand years. The only difference is one of spiritual cult. The Jew may change his religion as he, in large part, is do. ing in Russia, but the Negro cannot easily change his skin. Germany does not ask the Jew to become German, but to get out. Here we have the greatest evidence that race prejudice is not innate but acquired and stim. ulated for ulterior ends. Hitler want, ed an issue as a rallying point for the consolidation of the German people. He has an intuitive knowledge of mob psychology. Appeal to pride and prej. udice of race never fails to elicit en_ thusiastic response if presented with passionate frenzy. He is master of Ku Kluxer of Germany. Semitism is a shining mark that any German can easily be made to see and shoot at. Race prejudice is the ever handy game of the demagog. Hitler can give Tillman, Vardaman, Hefflin and Blease cards and spades and beat them with the game. Both Georgia and Germany are at the mercy of the mob haranger. Race prejudice causes the people to lose their logical calmness and bal. ance of judgment. In Georgia the Ne_ gro must be suppressed lest he lower the level of Anglo Saxon civilization. In Germany the Jew must be 3up_ pressed lest he raise the level of cul. ture too high for the German to at. tain unto. Race prejudice operates against the Negro because he is in. ferior, and against the Jew because he is superior. The brutal frankness of the Teuton is in glaring contrast to the hypocrisy and guile of his Anglo Saxon cousin. The German justifies his devilment in the name of practical necessity, the Anglo Saxon cast3 his sins on the Lord. The climax of inconsisensy has been reached. Georgia upbraids Ger_ many for manifestation of race prej_ udice. Hitler ha3 a ready made answef for the reproach which Senator Rob_ inson the leader of the Senate, has recently cast into his teeth for preju. dice against the Jews. It will be the same as Turkey once rejoined Wood, row Wilson Tor her Armenian atroc_ ities: “When you stop lynching and burning Negroes, it will be good time to upbraid us for mistreating Arm_ enians.” When the Georgia pot calls the German kettle block, surely the Gods laugh unless they have lost their sense of humor.—Kelly Miller.

EXPELS FOR WHITE CHAUVINISM Boston, Mas3.—Frank Nichols has been expelled from the Irfternational Labor Defense for white chauvinism, it was announced by the Eastern New England Executive Committee. The incident leading up to the ex. pulsion of Nichols, the Committee announced, was a statement on his part that “all Negroes are thieves and crooks.” When questioned a bout this statement at a meeting of the District Executive Committee, he admitted making the remark and con. firmed his deep rooted white chau vinistic tendencies, practically refus. ng to admit the seriousness of this insult to the Negro people and to the whole working class, making only a hypocritical statement that in the future “I will guard ray tongue lest anything I might say might be con strued against me.” “The ILD. which carries on a eon. tinuous struggle for Negro rights a gainst white chauvinistic acts, dis. crimination, Jim Crowism, and all other white ruling class attacks on the Negroes cannot tolerate the ex istence of confirmed white ehauvin. i ism within ts own ranks,” the Exe cutive Committee statement said. “This decisive action is part of a vig. orous campaign now being conduct ed by the ILD. to stamp out all tend, encies of white chauvinism ” _' '; BAMA TOWN ORDINANCE FOR. BIDS ALL MEETS AIMED AT NEGRO AND. WHITE UNITY IN RELIEF DEMANDS 1 Andalusia, Ala.—A city ordinance which takes from the workers and poor farmers in and around Andal-! usia, all rights to meet, demonstrate and publicly petition, has just been passed by the Andalusia City Coun. cil. The ordinance was passed on June 20, three days after 500 white and 1 Negro workers and farmers of Cov. ! ington County had gathered, under I the leadership of the Alabama Far. mers Committee of Action, before the Covington County Courthouse in this city to protest the stopping of relief by the RFC. and the stopping of flour by the Red Cross. . By their united j action, they forced the Red Cross to I open its relief stations at once and to distribute hundreds of bags of flour. The attempt of the Red Cross officials on this occasion to set white and Negro against each other was met by the unanimous demand of the workers that all be served without discrimination. That the new city ordinance is de signed to crush struggles of the un. employed and the farmers in Coving ton County is openly admitted in the Andalusia Star, whose issue of June 23. remarks that “The City Council passed an ordinance with teeth in it, in order to meet any contingency which may arise as a result of the maneouvers of certain self styled leaders who have been showing a dis. position to foment strife and unrest among the unemployed in this county. “—irresponsible agitators who un dertake to play their game in Andal. usia will be provided with police es cort during their stay in the city.” This Andalusia ordinance is the third of its kind passed in Alabama in recent weeks. Anniston and Mont, gomery have also passed ordinances taking all civil rights from the work ers. The movement of the workers in all three cities is going forward in spite of this vicious legislation. HEROES UNSUNG Incurable Sufferers By A. B. Mann (For the Literary Service Bureau) The burden of affliction is heavy. Constant pain upsets the nerves. Of_ ten, in conduct and in words those who minister to the afflicted mani_ fe3t the fact that they have grown tired of ^fleir tasks. For the incurable there is the gloomy prospect of months and perhaps years of suffer, ing and of helpfulness. There is the tendency to be im_ patient, and it is exceeding difficult to maintan self.control and to be cheerful, under condtions like these. Here, many sufferers fail. They be. come irritable and sometimes un. reasonably sensitive. But there are many patient souls who smile amid brilliant exceptions. In the world are afflictions and who are a source of comfort and encouragement to others. Patiently and cheerfully enduring their afflictions they hearten and in. spire others. Little is known and little is ever said of these heroes. Often they live .amid poverty and die so. “Unsung, but heroes,” is the only honest verdict in regard to these aw. ful sufferers. |f WHAT ■ Omaha Makes I Makes Omaha H TRY H BLUE BARREL and :M OMAHA FAMILY SOAP 9 Haskin Soap Co. 9 OMAHA_ PUNISH LYNCHERS, N. A. A. C. P. DEMANDS OF MARYLAND STATE'S ATTORNEY LePLATA, Md, — A vigorous de_ mand was made on State’s Attorney E. J. Edelin in a letter received today from Charles H. Houston, member of the National Legal Committee of the N, A. A. C. P. that he institute pro. ! ceedings against the ringleaders of the mob which attempted unsuccess. ! fully to lych Page Jupiter Mr. Hous. ton urged speed and prompt action on behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. and in the “interest of public justice to white and black alike.” “Perhaps this may cause you some temporary embarrassment but it will establish you as a fearless public of. ficer,” Mr. Houston .inform (|1 Mr. Edelin, “irrevocably committed to the full performance of the law which is in his trust.” Mr. Houston enclosed with his let. ter copy of the report made to Walter White, Secretary of the N A A C P , of the findings of the investlga. tion by himself, Edward P. Lovett of Washington, associated with Mr. Houston in the Crawford extradition case, and J G LuValle of the Wash, ington Tribune. The two lawyers vnd newspaper man spent two days in and about LaPlata in making a thorough investigation. Among the officials interviewed by Messrs. Hou. sto<n, Lovett and LuValle were Judge W. Mitchell Digges Chief Judge of the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Mary, land. State’s Attorney Edeli, Sheriff Cooksey, and Jailer John Dorsey. Mr. Houston’s report reveals that: “A mob of forty or fifty men as. sembled Monday July 10, at Waldorf, Maryland, the Home of the murdered woman and drove to LaPlata eight miles distant. The Sheriff at LaPlata had been warned that the mob was forming but declined to believe that their intentions were serious. The mob would have reached LaPlata and seized the prisoner except for the fact that a state motor cycle officer rode from LaPlata to Waldorf recon. noitering. He saw the mob forming, sped back to LaPlata and informed the Sheriff. They went from the court House to the jail, got Page Jupiter, put him in the car and hurried him off to Upper Marlboro Jail where he spent the night. The Sheriff was in such haste that he did not even take time to lock the gate of the jail yard. The mob reached the jail about ten minutes after the Sheriff had left with hi3 prisoner. “The mob got into the jail yard through the gate which the Sheriff had left open. It clamored for admis. sion to the jail but the Jailor refused to open the door. Then a Deputy Sheriff, named Howard, had the Jail, er to open the door and admit the mob so that fhe mob might satisfy itself that Jupiter was not on the premises. At this time the mob was creating a scee of wild disorder and threatened to storm the jail. “When the jail door was opened the mob seized the Jailor’s gun and push, ed its way to the cell blocks on both floors of the jail. Some one in the mob had a rope. “When the mob found that Jupiter was mot there it left the premises. So far as is known no damage was done to property and no further violence offered to any one. “Judge Digges in Unner MnrTtwrn was seen the next day and asked whether the State’s Attorney con. templated any punitive action against the leaders of the mob. He stated that he was not advised either way Mr. Houston then told the judge that in his opinion the circumstances call, ed for punitive action against the leaders of the mob, that while it was true that thi3 mob did not catch up with its victim, unless the mob spirit was stamped out by sharp punish, ment of its ring leaders, the next mob would arrive ten minutes earlier, and its victim would be snared, that law. lessmess against a Negro today would be turned against a white man on the morrow, and that the only way to guarantee an orderly enforcement of law m a community was to stamp out lawlessness the moment it raised its head. “The members of the mob are known. The Jailer and two Deputy Sheriffs were on the spot and saw them. Judge Digges indicated that he had been advised who some of the mob members were, and gave hi3 opinion of them in no complimentary terms. Therefore lack of identity in this case not be the excuse for lack of prose cutlon. “The Judge has indicated that he will appoint the best counsel at the bar to defend Jupiter.'Negroes are on both the grand and petty juries, and Jupiter 3tated to Messrs TTonc+ftm I and Lovett in the Baltimore City Jail Thursday, July 13, that no one had offered him violence and that he was being well taken care of. He told the arden of the jail in their presence that he was getting enough to eat and his appearance so indicated. Mr. Houston suggested to the Judge that counsel appointed to defend Jupiter make a serious investigation of Jupi_ ter’s mental capacity and of the men. tal history of Jupiter's family. Un_ confirmed reports are to the effect that there is insanity in Jupiter’s family.” KU KLUX JUDGE MAY TRY FRAMED SCOTTSBORO CASE. Judge Callahan A Noted Kluxer May Try Case. NEW YORK—If Judge James E. Horton refuses to further consider the Scottsboro case, as his friends report him prepared to do, the re trial of Haywood Patterson will be thrown into court of Judge W W Callahan of Morgan county, alleged Negro hater and Ku Klux Klansman, it was learned here today by the In_ ternational Labor Defense.
