to the colored people of this

LYNCHING?FIRST SIX
MONTHS 1925
Comparing the record of the
first 6 months of 1925 with the
same period of 1924, the United
States is going backwards. Last

class were " committed against
nine for the current vear. With
tficTexception of Utah, the Mormon

in southern states. Even
