Rs a consequence of which Sheriff
^Rldse Penton returned to Pensacola
-without his prisone'ij and told the local
citizenry all about it. According
to the Pensacola Jour-rtal, of October
21, "The sheriff is not at all certain
Governor Fred Green of Michigan will
grant extradition. No decision on the
matter will be niade until a thoi-ough
hospital formerly operated by theNe.

of the citizens here is made, the Governor
indicated;
. - "W. Hayes McKiriney, Detroit attof
ney for Viola, introduced records of
the National Association for the Ad^
' vancemcnt uf Colored people showing
Florida citizens have lynched 195 per-s,
sons between the years 181)5 and 11)18.1
according-to Sheriff Penton. The same
. records show five Negroes have been
lynched in Escambia County during
the same period. .. ?
"McKinney's entire fight against
the extradition of the Negress .was
based upon the danger to her if she
was ever returned to Florida."
The same newspaper reports a likelihood

DORSEY RIDICULES
HEREDITY MONGERS
N'eW York, Nov 16?"Iloridity Mon,
i rs" who claim superioty for blond {
Nordics-arc sharply ridiculed by Geo. I
A. Dorsey, author of why we behave1
ike human'beings writing in the November
issue of "Plain Talk^on "RaCeCivI]k<.ntion
Upooiulintu.'1
Mr. Dorsey traces the develonement
T the race superdity theories from
Count Gohineau and the successive
emphasis on "Aryan", "Teutonic" and
"Nordic".
Other contemporary writers of thip
sort whose facts and theories are
found wanting on gxaminataidri in<
lude Dr. Ellsworth Huntington, Proffessor
William McDpugall, Lothrop
Stoddard, Edwin. M. East, and Albert
Edward Wigganl who "has broadcast,
more-false views abhut race and
' -ivilization than any other one man."
"The chief difference between these
neremty. mongers and the Ku Klux
Klan," writes Ml*. Dorscy, "is the difference
between kid gloves and a night
"own?they have the same ethics.
There Is no ])roblem of race and civilization';
they know."
Mr. Horsey summarizes the avail"able
'evidence of authorities in medicine
biblbgy an<l anthropology to show
up the falsity of the heredity mongers
doctrines. .
"Our problems," he concludes, "are
not those of race and civilization, but!
of too little understanding and too*
much prejudice." * .
