Four were white 48 were negroes. One+was a woman, Last year 65 were lynched, includ- ing, 8 white persons and 1 woman.! There were 83 lynchings in 1919, in- cluding 6 white persons and 1 wo- man. In 1918 there were 67 lynch- ings, 4 of the victims being white. “We cannot claim to be civilized,” Says Congressman L. C. Dyer of St. Louis “until our citizens are secured against the’ hideous cruelties of which we-are .constantly furnishing fresh examples.” 2 Congressman. Dyer is author of th anti-lynching bill, introduced . last April. In iOctober. it was favorably reported by the judiciary committee. The - National. Association for the Advancement of Colored People is backing the bill." It’ is heralded as the one club that can curb lynching. Penalties in Bill These are the penalties for lynch- ing prescribed by the Dyer bill: Imprisonment fer from five years! to life for any member of a mob that puts to death; any guilty or’ innocent Five-years in prison or $5000 fine, or both, for: any state or municipal officer who neglects ‘to. protect a pri- soner from+mob violence.

Expert in Civile Government, Cleveland, Nov. 15—Eyes of experts in city government throughout the na- y, | tion today are fixed on Cleveland, the| tivity by city executives and em- "| largest city which thus far has ousted | ployes. the old type of municipal government and adopted the new city manager plan. Cleveland is the nation’s fifth city. It has a population of 1,000,000. In amendment, providing for a city man- ager after 1924 and for proportionate representation, won by 19,355 votes. Under the new plan the city’s chief executive will be picked by the city council and not elected-by vote, The council may give the job to a.man in any part of the country. And it may pay him a salary equal to his ability. The city manager will hold office sury. Radical national legislation is nec- essary, proponents of the bill argu because states have failed to stop lynchings. “Common SI Mob violence is called the “com- mon shame” of America by the Na- tional Association. Statistics of lynch- ings have been kept for ears., From 1889 to Nov. 1, 1921, there have been 3422. lynchings .in the United States! Seventy-nine per cent of the vic- tims were negroes. There were 2702 negroes and 720 white persons, Women and girls have been lynched, too.- There were 53 negro women and 11 white women a total Georgia leads ‘all states in lynch- ings, with Mississippi pressing close. The only states where there have been no lynchings in 33 years are Massachusetts, Connecticut, — Ver- anont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah: None District of - Columbia. More than one-third of the lynch- ings from 1889 to 1921 were for mur- der. In 1270 cases murder was the offense, 589 rape, 271 attempted at- tacks upon white women, and 341 for crimes. against the person. ther Causes There were many cases where mere disagreements led to lynchings, also race riots, horsse stealing, wife beating; one because a negro failed to turn out of the road for a white boy in an auto; one for being a mem- ber of the Nonpartisan League! In in North Carolina lynched a negro for giving poor en- tertainment in a show! The most notorious lynching was that. of Leo M. Frank a white man, man, accused of rape and murded; hanged near. Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 17, 1915. The only lynching in all the New! England states since 1889 was that of, Louis Higgins, a, white man ac- caused of rape, .at Bancroft, Me., in Aug. 1907. ; Ohio is charged with a lynching in 1920 that actually occurred on. @ steamer bound for Toledo, The vic- tim, Milton Harris, was drowned at the hands of a mob July 13, 1920. The last actual lynching in Ohio occurred in Cleveland, June 27, 1911, when an unnamed negro was lynch- ed for murder. ‘ Hanging Usual Hanging has been the usual meth- od of lynch mobs: In 1919 there were 24 persons hanged, 31 shot, 14 burned to death, 2 beaten to death, 1 cut to pieces and 10 died in manner unknown. Of those lynched by fire, 11 were burned alive at the stake. In 1920, 31 were hanged, 15,shot, 8 burned, 2 drowned, -1 flogged to death and 8 died in manner up- |known. In the first 10 months of 1921, 27 were hanged, 12 shot, 4 burned, 2 drowned and 7 died in manner unknown. Lynchings decreased 54 per cent in 20 years from 1889 to 1908—but the ‘decrease since then has.only been 7 Per cent. Folks! Stout Folks!

Adherents of the manager plan bey to Cleveland: One—Politics in the executive side of city government will end, since the manager will have little temptation to play politics. Two—The political boss will no longer hold power, since candidates elected on real issues rather than be- cause of membership in a certain par- ty.

Y., “getting set” to live in a civilization made out of a wilderness. The caravan originally consisted of 28 families. Four have deserted.

Call of the West The call of the west came when P. [i Merideth, who, with his brother, former Secretary of Agriculture E. ‘T. Merideth, owns the Roseworth tract, offered good crop land for sale cheap. William D, Scott, of Brooklyn; or- ganized the caravan and a long string of autos, and ato trailers headel for: Idaho, , ‘ Arrival at Rogeworth brought some dissatisfaction, It was feared that the Saimon River Canyon, lying between ‘Roseworth and the town of Ruhl, would prevent profitable marketing of crops. A mitte:: of the settlers went to Poise and asked that a suspension bridge be built. Governor Davis has indicated this will he done.as soon as the territory is sufficiently. built up. The former Brooklynites’ say they will n<‘er return to eily life. “ITowant you «+ see my home,” said J.J, Hold:., ox of the settlers. “I've huilt it almost by myself. Some boys from Buhl gave me a hand, but no carpenters were hired. “Some of.us were disappointed, at first. Things were a bit harder than we expected. But that’s worn off; I believe wi have a wonderful oppor- tun‘ty to make a fine thing out of the project.” The rest agree with Holder, Femilics with children are especial- ly enthusiastic about the open coun- trv. The nearest schoo! house is six milés away, but the children are taken to and from it in @ school auto bus.
