THE DYED MIMEI
OH LIST OF OILLS
FUSSED BEFORE S
Solo Purpose Is to Uphold Constitution
Which Guarantees Protection
of Life and Property to Citizens?
Democratic "Solid South" Opposition
Has Joined Hands With Radicals
to Oppose Law and Order
Legislation That Would Punish
Mobs and Murder.
Washington.?One of the hills on
the legislative program to be enacted
Del ore the Congress adjourns is the
Dyer anti-lynching bill. This bill has,
passed the House and has been reported
favorably to the Senate from
the Judiciary Committee. The passage
of this bill is demanded for
two reasons: First, because it is needed
in order to enforce the Federal
Constitution, uphold law and order
and protect otherwise defenseless
citizens who are entitled to all protection
of the government; second,
because such legislation was specifically
pledged by the Republican party
in its national patform of 1920
and specifically urged by President
Harding in his message to Congress
April 12, 1921. The last Republican
national platform stated:
"We urge Congress to consider the
most effective means to end lynching
in this country, which continues
to be a terrible blot on our American
civilization."
President Harding in his first message
to the special session of Congress
on April 12, 1921, said:
^ otlirUl 4 Z-V HMIMi < Kil O 4 llltl
V^UIIKI i wu^iii. iw uif nui in
of barbaric lynching from the* banners
of the free and representative
democracy."
There is a growing demand upon
the part of all law-abiding people to
have a Federal law that will punish
local communities which permit
mobs and lynching. This feeling has
become more pronounced and intense
since the increasing t frequency of
such horrors as the recent mob at
Herrin, 111. The mob spirit, which
is spreading, is due to several reasons,
all of which have their base in
the unbridled passions of certain interests
which seek to gain their ends
by violence and crime rather than by
orderly processes of the law. These
radical influences have added their
opposition to that of the Democratic
"Solid South" to the passage of the
Dyer nnti-lynching law.
The backbone of the opposition to
the Dyer nnti-lynching law continues
to be the Democratic party, which is
against the protection of the life and
property of the Negro. This has been
conclusively proved by the fact that
of the 3,224 persons who were lynched
during the years 1887-11)21, inclusive,
2,700 were Negroes, practically
all of whom were lynched in
Democratic States in the South. The
record of 1922 promises to be greater
than for many previous years.
During the first six months of this
year there were 30 lynchings. Of
these, 28 were Negroes. Five of them
were burned at the stake. All of
these lynchings occurred in States
which compose the "Solid South."
,.< <iw. ii.;..).,
ill two States?Mississippi and Texas.
These figures clearly locate the blame
for lynching.
That the Democratic "Solid South"
is in favor of lynching and opposed
to any interference of the Federal
government to uphold law and order
is proved by the record of the Democratic
members of Congress who consistently
oppose all bills looking to
the stopping of lynching and the
punishment of lynchers. Practically
the solid Democratic vote in the t
House was lined up against the pas-:'
sage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
There has been1 110 suggestion that
there is any hope of changing these
conditions by the actions of the)
States themselves. It simply denies!
the power of Congress to pass the I
law, and with a certain naivette says
this proposed intervention of the
Federal government "would tend to
destroy all sense of local responsibility
for the protection of person
and property and the administration
of justice from which sense of legal
responsibility alone protection and
governmental efficiency can be secured
among free people."
"it is almost humorous to think
that those gentlemen dread the destruction
of a 'sense of local responsibility'
which have in many years
never punished a lyncher."
The chief objection raised against
the Dyer anti-lynching bill by its opponents
is that it is unconstitutional
because it provides for the intervention
and usurpation of State police
rights by the Federal government.
The most obvious and effective answer
to the Federal Constitution and
its enforcement. This amendment
was voted for almost solidly by the
Democratic representatives from the
"Solid South" and it was ratified by
the Democratic "Solid South" Sintofe.
How illogical and absurd it is, then,
to contend that it is unconstitutional
for the Federal government to enter
a State and arrest a man for the
salt- of liquor, but unconstitutional
for the Federal government to enter
the same State and prevent the same
man from being hanged or burned at
the stake. The plea that the antilynching
bill is unconstitutional is
thoroughly answered in the reports
made to the House and Senate by the
respective Judiciary committees of
each. These reports are very voluminous
and quote decision after decision
of the United States Supreme
Court. Both the House and Senate]
committee reports state:
"The Fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution provides that no
State 'shall deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection
of the laws' and further provides
that 'the Congress shall have
power to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
the provisions of this article.'
... It is thus made the duty
of the Congress under the Constitution
to enact such laws as may be
1 needful to assure that no State shall
deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the
laws."
The committees quote former Justice
Brewer upon this point to the effect
that the Fourteenth amendment
prohibits any State from depriving
any person of his life, liberty or property
without due process of law, nor
Ill BILL IS PUT
WHICH ARE TO BE
IE1TE ADJOURNMENT'.
I
shall it deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of
the law. It is pointed out that a I
State may deprive a person within
its jurisdiction of his life or liberty
or deny him the equal protection of
the law in two ways: First, by an
act of the legisative department of
the State; second, by an act of any
executive authority, such as a governor,
sheriff or police official.
Another decision cited i?i the report
of each of the committees is that
handed down by the Fourteenth
amendment. This decision, like that
of Justice Brewer, held that while
it was the duty of the State to see to
it that each of its citizens was given
oqual protection of the law. it was
equally the duty of the United States
to see to it that no State denied
equal protection of the law to any
citizen.
In summing up the arguments in
behalf of the anti-lynching bjll, the
Senate committee's report quotes as
follows from a brief submitted it by
Air. Aloorfield Story:
"Either Congress has the power to
pass effective legislation against
lynching, or the United States cannot
protect its own citizens from
murder and their property from destruction
at the hands of their fellow
citizens who are subject to its
jurisdiction. It can impose burdens,
but it cannot defend rights. It can
tax, but it cannot save the taxpayer.
That lynching is a nation-wide evil,
that no action by the States can be
expected and that the evil should be
abated for the sake of the nation
quite as much as for the sake of
those who suffer by it must be conceded.
"To admit that the nation is powerless
to abate such an evil and to
protect its own citizens is to admit
that our government is weaker than
any other civilized government. This
is an admission which we should be
ashamed to make."
In speaking of the reasons why
Congress proposed the Fourteenth
amendment which forbids any State
from depriving any citizen of his life
or liberty or denying him equal protection
of the laws and as to why the
Congress included the proviso that it
should have "the power to enforce by
appropriate legislation the provisions
of this article," the brief states:
"The situation which this amendment
was intended to meet was a
very practical one, and the amend..nnnl.-,.
.? ...... <-t .U.x,.
calculated to accomplish its purpose,
not to defeat it. The enfranchised
Negroes were dwelling in communities
where they had been held as
slaves, and in those communities had
been regarded and treated as chattels,
not as men. Their elevation to
the rank of citizens was regarded
with absolute hostility, and it was
clear that their rights would not be
respected unless they were maintained
by the United States. The amendment
was passed to secure these
rights and to give Congress the power
to maintain them. It never was
the intention of the people who
adopted the amendment that the
States so recently in rebellion should
be able to nullify the amendment by
non-action, and should be able to
plead HJiat the persons who trampled
on the hew citizens were merely private
persons for whose acts the State
was not responsible."
The Senate committee's majority
report closes with these words:
"American citizenship is indeed a
badge of honor; it should be, and
this bill seeks to make it, a shield
of protection to every American citizen?man,
woman and child, native
and naturalized?who stands on
American soil, hedged around and
guarded, as they are, by the Constitution
of the United States."

through the holes cut in the rocks by
the Hawaiian warriors of long ago.
ONLY THHE13 ENTRANCES
The kineddm of Nualolo is on tho
northwest coast of lho inland of Kauai
of the Hawaiian group, in the heart
of a wonderful procipico seeUon which
rises Abruptly from tlie sea In almos
perpendicular cliffs from 2500 to more
than 4,000 feet in height. It comprises
nine valleys, three largo and st*
smalK each ending at'tho sea in a
precipice.
There aro only three ways of gotting
into this old domain. One in by a
dangerous trail upward from the
ocean front, a second is by anornti
and steeper trail over tho mountains
from the land side and the third and
easiosl is by rope ladder from Nualolo
bench and thence over a narrow wind
ing path cut out of the rock, where a
misstep means a fnjl to death.
When Nualolo maintained its independence
in the face of the advances
qf tho Great Knmohamelia, beforo
the days of high explosives and airplanes,
three men only were needed
to keep its gates. An old Hawaiian,
named Ku, has given ho follow.lnf

tho top of the ladder with a stone ax.
As each liostle head appeared the ax
