There is nothing surpris-i ing about that. Indeed, no one j expected anything else, and the | surprise of the century .would have been the presenting of! any one connected with such I brutal murders. Those are not: the kind of murders' that law officers find out. They only fur- " nish the occasion for an expres' v.. aiir ofjregrefc on the part of-guud f _ citizens. But the serious part! of it is this: Is South Carolina;. . - so important that mob murder I can be pulled off at any time and yet nothing be done about it? If fp, then there is no goverfi ment irf~this State worthy of __ respect. But who believes that? The truth of the matter . is, South Caroline? is sympathe- j _ tic with such murders, and as' i u ?

The.? Crisis Magazine laid a plan for such j study boforo the Board of Di- rectors of the American Fund for Public" Service (formerly" known as the Garland Fund) j and a. grant ^;n _ study was made in 1925." It is reasonable then to suppose that if that sulrh were given simply for South Carolina. Dr. DuBois would have, first of.. all, made a study of Georgia and "statement"? This study as pub- " lished must have been read by 1 the Editor, gt tne Pittsburg Courier. If he did read .it, could it , be said that the attack was in ~ good faith ? If he did not, was it not his duty to Tully inform himself before attempting to cast suspicion? The Courier gives six reasons why it jjo&_ii_ot agree with "the methods, of the DuBois-John-son combination." Of " course every one is free to "agree or not agree with^-the methods of any institution which he supports, but, in this instance can the Pittsburgh Courier give any assurance that the methods. 11 would adopt will" accomplish much? Until it can offer something better, let :it be ? hoped that it .will continue to give its ^support, rather thari" simply, assume ,the role 01 3. critic. The N. A. A. C. P.- is needed.
