The N, A, A. ~C. P. has colled
?upon?President.?Cod i d go to
speak a word of'condemnation
" of lawlessness in the form of
lynching. But what's .the use
of bothering th<Q President ? He
is, fed busyTTvjth Other things
to think about such a little
thing as lynching a few Negro
boys, women and men. Besides
he may hurt the feelings of
some perfect Americans.
The sad part ai out mob mur(
ders is the indifference of the
. Churcn. Bo much attention?isbeing
given to the effort of prc
venting a fellow 1'iuin getting a
. .glass of lifiuor that the cries
and moans of a Butchered Negro
cannot be heard, even though
the-crjr comes from a woman
v or a child. No wonder so many
people can't understand the religion
it tries to propagate.

those who have the ballot don't
