(From The Afro-American, Balti more, Md., October 23, 1926) ' One guess li al'ffp.od as another at- to the i*ortgmr',,ofJilio annoar-ance of certain articles in the Pittsburgh Courier for the_jpast two weeks, j Our guess" is that while the editors were away, the office boys ran the plants, i ? Certainly nothing else could account for tire unwise and ^unfair criticism of the National 'Association for the Advancement of Colored People which appeared, in the Courier 1 two weeks ago. . ___ . If the National Association ? had - - ?? done nothing ilse imt, win the~ vic tory in the "Sweet segregation _case in Detroit, its years of activity and 1?the 'few., thousands-of dollar^ it has spent -have justitied its existence.

(From The Times-Dispach, Richmond Va., October 7, 1926 A few days ago James Wcldon r^Johnsoh^gecrctary of the NatlohaT Association for the AdvnriCem^jat of ..... Colored PeGiNe, \yas inspired to write -f- a letter to this 'newspaper in course of which he complimented it and oth ej; Virginia .newspapers - for the cou? rageous stand they had "taken against mob violence following the lynching of a Negro at Wvthevllle. In that. letter, which already has been printout the United Stated have been muclv heartened by the attitude of the' white people of iLIrginia toward the recent lynching at Wytheville.

But there is no evidence that Spch -aninvostigation has been made, and, on the surface at least, there is little reason to believe that one will be made." On the other hand, there is -all too much, peason to believe that the Greensboro' News has diagnosed correctly the case?as It exists fn~ Wvthe-Countv. and thnt Virglniamust suffer this blotting ot Its escutcheon. If that be true, then the. future-does not-hutd- hopefulness for the suppresion of mob violence in -this State.

In this the man who during reconstruction day9 was sec.rettery?to?Senator - Charles -Sumner f and later President of the American Bar Association followed closely-in footsteps" of organized labr, which has repeatedly declined to be a tail to"either of th? old party kites. The .Negro vote has usually been counted jn advance as an adjunct to the Republican" ticket; but if The race generally follows the precept of its National Association it will -have immeasurably strengthened its importance in civil life. The group whose support is predctermined is usually sheared of real weight in political conclaves, where' tho indepondonto hold the whip^hagd^j [dependent groups generally,_the Negro wwfll find his influence gradually! heightened and a way paved for bet-1 ter economic conditions. 1 -* r , hi (From ?yhc Nation, New Yorjt City, October 20, 1926.) Never in, my experience have the editors of any State so outspokenly, unanimously and vigorously con deimwda lynching outrage as havF" the Virginia editors -the" mob' murder at Wytheville, "writes James Wetdon Johnson ' of (the National /Ts.'lociation for the Advancement of Colored People to the Richm'OTid Tirhes-BT^l patch. "Colored people throughout the -United States*" he addtff "have been much- heartened by the attitude 1( the white press of Virginia." Nor !oes the Virginia press stand alone. We have seldom seen a more effective editorial upon_iha. Ku.JJlux Klan than a recent comment of the Greens, horo (N. C.) Daily News upon .the 'TPlX nf_Prcsidcnt^-Qiandler'. of.

The prisoners in South' Carolina were standing trial for the murder of a sheriff a~year or iqTiigo, a murder Liu.I grew uut of a~ raid on the Negroes'' home in the course of which a Negro \voman was killed. They had been convicted once I he rasa ims mih! virion directed that~one of the three be acquitted on the murder charge;" he was then le-arrested on. a charge of assault with intent to kill. The "mob" -that took them from the jail could not wait Lfor ordinary justice. In ihis case, as in so many others, the sheriff from whom'--- tlio?prisoners were takenr had rt"ot thought it necessary to order a special guard for them or even to remain at his post to protect them. And in spite of a fine show of determination to discover and punish the lynchers in .both States, a corrtTer'sqjuI'y in each ease has already returned a verdict -pf , death at The hatids-of-"unknown* parties."
