John Roach Stratton, being for

by his New York church, "have

L. present pronairanda of atheism

TsWer mind about tha-t
Dr. Stratton. The best way to
"cooperate" with the colored
people and help cKec? "atheism .
and Bolshevism" fbr--a little
more practise of the* teachings
of Jesns Christ, and we hardly
think the-" Supreme Kingdom,"

Ttoo busy to-even look over the ex

OFOur modest-journal is not. worthy
of his .attentoin.,- If this
were not so, we hardly see how
he could pen' in his last issue ttttt "
the kind things said, yet we can~not
quite understand the implied .
reason he gives for our demise.
Our Qolumns-are fuH of State and
city news; social, religious and
business, everc though o??.-.contemporary
.overkjyks it. which
he evidently does the want of
such features seem to be the rea- J
. son he assigned'-fof-our departure.
No, friend Carr, the only

THE GOVERNMENT WEAK J
JVHERE NEGROES VOX?CERNEJD.
_
The U. S. Government will
have to buck up or its "Colored
citizens will be getting the idea
that it is about the weakest
little thing?despite the great
material worth?among the nations
of the world. Every time
of late the-Negro hrv. appealed-to-it
to make good its constitutional
guarantee-of his lights
\ as an American citizen, the Gov- J
prnmpnt. cnrlrlpnlv finrle nnf ISaf
it has iv? jurisdiction.* Every (
department of Jthis Government f
too has confessed this weak- v
1 ? ness. The Executive is silent:
the judicial Kays no jurisdiction c
?see the Curtis case .. echoed re. _v
cently by the Inter-State Commerce
Commission. Really this /
yr -dfldaiop is laughable* li
jte',' -4.+-?? . , ~
^ !...._
Reading the dedfsion and the I
reason, upon which it is based,
one has to wonder if there is
anything really which this commission
would not believe. The
legit lative department before all
of this, in considering the Ant^
lynching" bill which it^refused to
enact into law, confessed that
it had no power to protect the
lives of black citizens whose kindred
have never shrunk from
protecting it. And thus it goes
<?K ' , " But
is it weakness' or hypo-!
cr.acy Y if the long &rm of the
Government can reach out! and
get one it his breath smelis of
liquor, why can't it protect
lives ? 1 Why can't see to it
