Negroes Ask That lynching Be Made Capital Offense (Coatiaued rraa Page One.) sisted, i iw more than the freedom of the beasts of the field, to lei down and to get up at will; there must be moral, financial, and iutclleHiuil freedom. Physical slavery, he continued, ha been abolished, but slavery to ignorance, to poverty, to appetite and to passion, still eiiats. For The Tiger's Proteetloa. When he was a txy, the Governor re called, he always thought that the ttoyal Bengal tiger that fretted against tho bars of his rage in the occasional cir cus, was ragej for the protection of the public. Now, he said, he knew that the tiger aa caged for the tiger's good. "A tiger cannot live in the United jHtHtcs outside an iron rage," he said. li4Wlivf Because he is a tiger e.il iiWtho stnki is to nan uu itii i na g ri w trnemnt - - lat-v ft vmi .m-cu. ta-tytitj, .

The greatest blunder the aegreea of Xorth Carolina can nsake at this time," he said, "is te get into politics.

Do not threw away thi gulden opportunity of your men to etretra eat yosr hands to the moon and claim it for your own.'' Four Hoars a Celebration. A good siied gathering of negroes sat through the four hours af the celebra tion required for the pageant, musical program, adoption of resolutions and the speeches. The seven epiodes of the pageant set forth ia placarded facts anil figure the oatatanding points of prog ress of the negro since emancipation and emphasized the two principal grievances complained of by the race now, Jim Crow ears and the lynch law. "Crime, 'represented by an overalled negro with a baadana handkerchief and slouch hat, was chased down the line of placarded negroes fringing the stage in the episode of "Today in Negro life" by another itgure, . similarly clad and labelled "Lynch Law." The episode ended when "Lynch law produced a rope which he threw around the neck of 'Crime." The rest wa left for the furination of the spectators. in the same episode a negro labelled "Jim Crow" paused down the line of figures in the episode flashing and shov ing them sbout roughly while the spec tators applauded. The anisic yesterday wa arnia)ird by the united choirs of the city and in cluded snany of the old-time melodies, along with the negro national anthem. Bev. C. . Askew presided over the eeramonic and.rof. W. B. Turner of Hhaw University presented the resolu tions. It wss after the resolution had been adopted that Ker. ft. A. Howell of Kewpert Kewa, banker as wU as preach er, delivered his address, tiovernor Bickett followed hiia. The resolutions, as adopted, read: "Beaiitilved, that we appreciate the step for the advancement of education in the Mate, and for the improvement, of the teachers together with the efforts for properly compensating them for their services in training the youth of the State, and that we insist that negro chil dren be taught correctly the history of the race and to have pride In the same, and that the same standard of in struction be maintained for every ehild in the State. "2. Whereas the races of men the world ever are striving to receive s new birth of freedom in this age when the foundations of civilization liav been shaken by the conflict between the forces of aatorraey aad democracy, and whereas th right of self-determination of individuals nod nations wa and now is the paramosat, issue, resolved that the negro dohis atmee te make Amer ica the embodiment ef those principle which we defended with on liwe and resource during the world war. Te this end we urge that the press and tender of the race insist in season and out of ease that our people qualify U rote, and to use the ballot as one of the most effective instrument in the ser vice of the country and in the fight against injustice and' discrimination in a democracy. Besolved, farther, that we express our strongest duaprpovsl ef crime in every form. "3. Whereas a reign of lawlessness and mob violence now threatens to demolish aad destroy the s tractor of American civilisation, while the State stand help less in the face of thin awful terror de spite the strong word and heroic ef forts of outstanding Individuals, dis tinguished among whom b Governor Bickettj resolved that memorialize Congres that there be a Federal inves tigation of race riots and that lynching be made a capital crime panishabl by the United States government. "4. Resolved thnt we build p confi dence in one another, strengthen the ties of fidelity among us, tighten the bonds of brotherhood in the race and encourage our people to manifest an in terest in the life, liberty aad pursuit f happiness o one another, and that we hold sacred the right to select our own leaders."
