For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:9-11. WHITE SOUTHERNER PRAISES COLORED CHARACTER. A white Southerner, Archibald Rutledge, writing in the August 23 number of "The Outlook," published at 381 Fourth avenue, New York, gives one of the most encouraging and friendly pictures of colored home life that has appeared in recent years, according to the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. Under the title, "By the Black Heartstone," Mr. Rutledge tells of visits to an old colored man, a friend with whom he had hunted in boy hood. "I want to bear testimony," says Mr. Rutledge, "that the colored man has the grace of heart to be as gen uinely courteous as any man who walks the earth. And by courteous I do not mean merely kindly and hos pitable, I mean that he can sense the fitness of things and that he knows something of the reticences and the deferences of the heart. I take it that courtesy of this sort is an ex citingly authentic sign of character and I know that I have found high and gentle courtesy in the colored man." Mr. Rutledge further, after a con vincing description of his colored friend and the charming house in which he lives, assails the caricature of the race spread in motion pictures and magazines: "Inevitably he will be shown to be cowardly, absurd, pil fering, scheming, credulous,, prepos terous. If the characterizations were true, they might be ludicrous But nearly all of them are shamelessly false. Long have I been amazed thai the American public should be for $p great a length of time so deeply de luded. The popular idea of the col ored man is as menacing to his andThe to the country's welfare as it is es sentially false." THE REASON. The Boston Guardian edited by Wil liam Monroe Tratter, is the paper which stands first and foremost in tb battle against jimcrowism. The following editorial from a recent issue is timely: The reason that a preparatory Y. M. C. A. or civic centre is a step backward is that in the North it means nothing less than an invita tion to white men conducting places for public patronage or recreation, rann to refuse, deny or segregate all col ored patronage and point to such an institution as a just reason for so doing, and soon the idea as well as the practice of setting colored Ameri cans off by themselves in all places for public acommodation will spread until, as in many cities throughout the North will be found segregating or denial in theatres, restaurants and such places, until it reaches the public schools. Every attempt to help in any wayafterward, the singling out of colored Americans as a race, in this country, for whom must be maintained separate places of public acommodation, must be defiantly fought, not even lending ear to the argument so common in cities of the middle West that such sep arate institutions furnishes "jobs" for our men and women. The colored people can not sell their citizenship rights in education and with the proceeds, pay the salaries of a few persons who may get emCo-operation, ployment in such jim crow insti tutions. LODGE SAYS SPEC- IAL SESSION WILL ADVANCEDYERBILL CiVas Audience to Equal Rights LeaugeAgrees to Write Pres ident for League's Petition. Boston, Mass., Oct. 7, 1922.On Wednesday, Senator H. C. Lodge told a delegation of the National Equal Rights League that the Dyer and Liberian bills are next on the Senate calendar whenever Congress assem bles and that any special session will advance them for consideration. The League urges all to ask senators and congressmen to write to the President for this special session. Thursday morning's Boston Post carried the following article, with a large heading: "At noon yesterday Senator Lodge received a delegation of the National Equal Rights League at the Republi can state committee headquarters in the Kimball building. "Those in the delegation were the Rev. Mr'A. N. Shaw, national presi dent JVilliam Monroe Trotter, na tional secretary Mrs. Hester Jeff reys, secretary Albert G. Wolf, Esq., and A. Pyburn of the Boston branch. "The League asked the senator for his support of the petition to Presi dent Harding to call a special session of Congress next month with the Dyer bill on the program for action. They mentioned that Representative Tinkham had already written the President, and also showed him the letter to Shaw from the White House, in which Secretary Christian said the matter would be brought be fore the President in connection with the arrangements for any contem plated special session. "Senator Lodge reminded Secre tary Trotter that at his instance the senator had taken the bill out of the Senate judiciary subcommittee and declared he had zealously worked for enactmenl of the Dyer bill. He agreed to write to the President urg ing a special session at which the senator stated the Liberian loan and the Dyer anti-lynching bills would be first on the calendar. "The delegation secured 'his con sent to work for the consideration of the Dyer bill ahead of the Liberian loan bill. "Senator Lodge was shown peti tions from several states outside of Massachusetts." Such a call would put the Presi dent squarely behind the Dyer bill and give it full administration sup port. COLOREDTRAIN ROBBER HOLDS UP PASSENGERS Men in Smoker Protect Lone Woman as Bandit Grabs Money, Escapes Chicago, Oct. 12.Gallantry of men passengers when a colored ban dit invaded the Santa Fe railroad's California limited train in Kansas City Wednesday night was revealed today when the train reached Chi cago. Mrs. S. B. Sweet, Detroit, the only woman in the car where the robber appeared^ told how six men had gone to her aid when the bandit en tered. The robbery was accomplished within the city limits of Kansas City and shortly after the train had pulled out of the station. The ban dit evidently climbed into the vesti bule as the train was leaving the station, according to the train con ductor, and robbed only the passen gers in the third car from the rear. He escaped with only about $200. Woman Tells of Robbery "I was walking toward the obser vation*platform while the porter was making up my berth," Mrs. Sweet said. "I heard a cry, 'Drop your tag.' I didn't see anyone and gave no heed. But as I approached thethe door the command was repeated and a revolver_ajpeare in the doorway. That revolver looked like it was a mile lonjf. I dropped the bag. "The si* men in the car jumped up as the robber yelled, 'Hands up.' men surrounded me and threw out their pocketbooks. They pushed me back toward the wall and stood between me and the rcj&er. It was o^^m.iv? "7v all over in a few minutes. The rob-^ ber did not go into tne other cars, but Jumped off the train."f The men who protected Mrs. Sweet were William J. Paulsen and Michael Mueller, both of Chilton, Wis. James S. Day, Brooklyn, tf. Y. John J. Moore of Chicago C. E. Hays, Johns town, Pa., and Donald E. Long of Washington, D. C. They had little to say of the holdup and all said they had lost only small sums. Lost About $200 They placed the total amount ob taine by the robber at $200. Mr. was robbed of $90, Moore of $70 and the others of lesser sums. "We didn't lose much," Mr Paul sen said. "We pushed Mrs. Sweet back against the wall and out of the way. That's about all there was to it." The bandit found the men in the smoking compartment as Mrs. Sweet was passing the doorway, according to C. F. Sargent, conductor of the train. No attempt was made by the robber to enter other cars, the con ductor said, and' few of the passen gers were aware of the holdup until he said. a THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE IN GEORGIA Inter-Racial Commission Waging Vigorous Campaign. Atlanta, Ga.( Special.) The Georgia Commission on Inter-racial under the leadership of Dr. T. J. Wolfter, is waging a vigor ous campaign against mob violence and injustice, and for the develop ment of a public sentiment that will insure the protection of the life and property of every citizen, irrespec tive of -color. Governor Dorsey's as tounding exhibit of lynchings and other injustices was published and widely circulated by the commission and created a profound impression. The commission has drafted and is working hard for the enactment of an effective anti-lynching law. Meantime many cases of mob vio lence and injustice have been inves tigated hy the commission and legal aid has been extended in a number. Among the latter may be mentioned the notorious Williams "murder farm" case, which the commission helped to prosecute and in which con victions were secured the case of Tom Parks whose farm was saved from fraudulent foreclosure the re lease of a colored boy who was held service without pay and brutally treated the case of Asbury Mc Clusky, now pending, in which a mob attacked McClusky's home, wounded him, and tried to drive him from the community. The commission has identified members of this mob and filed a $50,000 damage suit against them. As much publicity as possible has been secured in these and other cases and good results are accruing. It is notable that in two recent lynchings indictments have been returned, and in one of them convictions have been secured. This indicates that great progress is bein made. Some of the best legal talent in Georgia is giving every possible aid to the commission. N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Addresses NashvilleLaw Enforcement Conference Compares Lynching Horrors to Turkish Atrocities Declaring that Turkish atrocities were no more worse than excesses committed by the lynching mobs in America, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple, addressed the Law Enforcement Conference, being held October 3 to 6, under the auspices of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Nashville, Tenn. "In horror there is nothing to choose between the worst excesses attributed to the Turk and the tor ture of the victims of, lynching mobs in America," said "'Mr. Johnson. "Have not 83 women been lynch in the Christian United States between the years 1889 and 1921 Have not 3,436 known lynchings taken place in our country from 1889 to January 1, 1922? And what is the alleged ex cuse for these horrors? It is that the colored man is a rapist. Certain lv that charge is not justified against the 83 women who were murdered by mobs. Of the 3,436 known lynchings to which I have referred, only 570 or 165-10 per cent were even attrib uted to" the crime of rape, and it should be borne in mind that accus ing a man of rape is far from estab lishing his guilt. I have .with me figures showing that in one" year, in first degree than there were colored' accused of it and lynched for it throughout the United States in a five-year period including that year. The vear is 1917 in which 37 white persons were indicted for rape in the first degree in New York county. In the five-year period 1914-1918, only 28*colored out of 264 lynched were accused of rape, and these figures are exclusive of the deaths in the East St. Louis riot of 1917. "It is very largely in the hands of the church as a moulder of public opinion to correct the malicious slander which gives rise to the abom atrocities risy."

Sir: Now that the world war is over and military autocracy has been doomed, I appeal to you as the representative of the United States at the Peace Table, to demand the abolition of that greater menace to the peace of the world, THE,AUTOCRACY OP COLOR. Through the centuries the colored races of the^globe have been subjected to the most unjust and inhuman treat ment by the so-called white peoples. Every atrocity which the Huns have inflicted on the helpless white peoples of the world during the four years of war now ending, has been suffered by the colored peoples of the world for more than four hundred years. In the recent war the colored races have furnished as many men as the white races have supplied, if the labor and fighting units are both counted, and now that victory has been won, it is but just that the color line which has hampered the progress of the col ored peoples, should be abolished at once. Not only that, but the op- of every believer in world democracy: 1. Home rule for Ireland. 2. Home rule for^ndia. 3. Home rule for all colonies which desire it. 4. Self-determination for the people of all countries, in which the people are practically all of one race or narealization tionality and yet dominated and opand pressed by a few of a different race or nationality. 5.

HAS PORCH AUTOS CAN'T HIT Postmaster Whose Home Is on Sharp Curve of Road Tires of Being Bumpedf by Speeds.**. Newton, N. J.Postmaster Lester T. Smith of Laytonhas a big front porch on his house, which is on Bing- man'6 road at a point where there is a sharp curve, and for many years he has sat there in the evenings and smoked his pipe without anything happening to him. But the other day be was having a smoke when, an auto mobile came around the bend and skidded, smashing Into the porch and wrecking one end of it. The automobilist paid for the dam* age and went on his way and the post master sent for a carpenter, who worked all night and all morning put ting a new end on the porch. Late in the afternoon the postmaster went out to have another smoke, but he had hardly tilted his chalr~back and lighted his pipe when another auto mobile came whizzing around the curve and skidded. Once more the machine crashed into the porch and wrecked an end of it, and* since it was the end on which he was sitting, he went down with the wreckage. But he was not hurt, and he got out of the debris in time to, col lect from the automobilist, who paid and drove on. Then the postmaster called for the carpenter and gave or ders, but not for a new front porch. He told the carpenter to tear down the front porch and build one on the rear of the house. "Maybe I'll have peace there,"" he said. "Soon as I get my new porch done they can skid all they want to* but to get me they'll have to jump over the bouse."
