JOHNSON URGE ANTI 4 LYNCHING LAW. 1 ? iy ? r (Continued From Page 1) . t v;;; ? # ? - Johnson cited a number of atro- < cities which took place in 1925, 4 [including the lynching1-*# an in- * jing alive of two men; and the 1 lynching of Lindsey Coleman in ? Mississippi immediately after a 4 "jury Pact acquitted ~hfm the A -jcharge of murder. ????- J jj "The McKinley-Dyer Afiti- 4 Lynching Bill is not a force bill," sairl Mr .Tnhrisnn. "not nfflfly aa [ ' much so as the prohibition en-H actments. It is rather a federal penal measure which would opK erate only where States are unr able or unwilling to ^ct. - itself powerless, to protect its citizens within its own borders., d -- * ? . 1 ^ Lynching is not limited to Ne-! t. grocs. In facf, oF~ the total bfT 3,559 persons lynched since 1-889 1 n no less than 722 Were white." | ^ Mr. Johnson pointed out that - rape had never been first among 11 the crimes alleged as provoking - lynchings? and trfat less than 1-5 n "of the lynching victims had been accused of rape, in addition to. e the fact that 90 women have ?, .been lynched. d . .Declaring that the honor and * safety of the United States were ^ at stake, Mr. Johnson said: "The ;f United States is the only civi-j lized,~6r~~Unavi 11 ""spot?onj-' l\ be burned alive with immunity. I think it sound to - say that [t It is murder plus revolution and anarehy.? It-4s-murder plus the e flouting and overthrow and e -trampling underfoot of the prerogatives of the courts." Mr. Johnson asserted that Section I of the 14th Amendment assuring "equal protection of the laws," to all citizens, was the half sis for the proposed law: "It apIpeaiH that this Amendment wash 11 * adopted-for the specific purpose ' of meeting just such a contin>_ gency as this measure proposes t;q remedy, the securing to Negroes of the equal protection of the laws. And no one would contend for a moment that the viee tims of lynch law receive equal e protection of thp laws." :re is : ACTION j OUR r!IP & SERVICE | ^OUR, _ or QT TTV/f TVyf 1?15 8 XTJ.JLTXJLL/XV o b SAMPLES 8 LUES AT S30 & S35 I & PAUL ; ' GTON STREET 3R SALESMAN ><wA^???PiPjoy>wyii<>ww#^pywip>wWwywiiyiyi - I"' , Kra ?Discoi (Vl< I Chile ?
