The.re at least one prominent 9 colored man pleased over the' ap pointment of Senator Hugo L. Black as a Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court* That gentleman Is Congressman Mitchell, the only colored man ever sent as a Dem ocrat to Congress. In fact, * the. Congressman gives the appointment his "enthusiastic approval." Of course, the Congressman has "the right to his opinion, the same as others, who do not see eye to eye with him. M77 Mitchell seems to Jay much stress upon the faef that the Senator is in complete v sympathy with the underprivileged and oppressed because of. his advocacy of the wage and hour bill ; and are not Negroes of that class? Mr. Mitchell seems to forget however that the Senator fought every effort to pass an anti-lynehing bill?are not Negroes almost always, the lynchees? After the i passage of such a bill, as now seems likely, and a test of it is made before thL- Supreme Court, ? .could with .consistency Justice i Black uphold , it ? The Scottsbord i boys cases will again be before l that august tribunal, will the Jus- i tice be able t*> do justice? In the j coining years, no doubt questions : affecting the citizenship rights of < colored people will find themselves j before the Supreme Court, can ; they be viewed by the Justice in \ a different light from that i n s which he has seen them all his life ? Colored people can but hope ?feeling though~thut the mere pntv ~ ting on of a robe does not and can not work any miraculous chang^. TENNESSEE HELPS. Accused of killing a City Marshal, a colored man was lynched last week. The man was being brought from Memphis, where for 30 days ho had been a^Wiojr safe, keeping, to Covington for adrear ing. He was being transportedby the Sheriff in an automobile. According to the Sheriff, when about 12 miles from Covingtop. 6 men, just 0, took the nlan from him, seized his pistol too and' hanged the man shooting him with the Sheriff's pistol. The Sheriff fknf V\c% Korrrro^l "1^1 I J ... ^68<;u n.v.u U) ici the law take its course." The mob answered him with "to hell with that." Of course, that is the answer of all mobs. Law means nothing to them, that is State law. But wait until the federal anti-lynching law gets going next year. The G-Men will never hear , such answers. The fact is Sheriff Vaughn was as much of that mob as any of the other men. How did they know when he was going for that prisoner, or what route he would take? The Sheriff, of course had in-: formed them. They knew in advance that the Sheriff was so blind x r w \ c that he just could not make out one license plate on the automobiles. Isn't it strange, that so many Southern counties just insist on electing blind Sheriffs. Of course, much adp has been made about grand jury investigation and punishing the lynchers, but who gives that any attention? Maybe a few more mob murders will occur before the Wagner-Van Nuys anti-lynching bill becomes law early next-year. After that, investigations of lynchings will mean something. G-Men's investigations always have real meaning. I Kampbeligrams i X Stepnen C. Campbell T . It has been done and Charles ton County S. S. and B.T.U. Convention did it What has been done? 1.
