HARLEM’S MOSESCalling attention to what he termed thlt; unfair tactics of southern Federal judges. Representative Fiorello La Guardia of New York announced his candidacy for Mayor oi New York City in a recent speech before several hundred colored voters in Harlem.In his speech La Guardia referred t( the Federal judges, from the Southland af “JirijH'rnw up here.on a junket.”,. The New York representative, who, it if saul has adopted the role of “nominee elect/' is pressing his campaign with much determined vigor.m La Guardia. who apparently is widelj knpwn and liked by black New Yorkers, was. according to dispatches, roundly applauded sn3 cheered throughout the entire speech.* That his statements meet with unanimous approval on the part of the large number of his hearers was proven when at the co|clusion of his talk La Guardia mayoralt} caBdidacy was endorsed by the colored voter* through a formal resolution.I In his Harlem address La Gaurdia com planed very bitterly and with telling effect against the action of Federal Judge John E. Mirtineau, of Arkansas, who criticized a jury in New Y'ork not very long ago because that body failed to convict a black man of a Tlquor law violation charge.j| In a letter to Chief Justice Taft, La Gtrardia, very rightly asked that “these for* ei£h judges who don’t understand New Y#rk and who attempt to mete out justice aatfordiiv; to the color of a man’s skin, be kqpt out of New Y’ork.”*• We may add while dealing with the subject, that not only should such dispen* sejs be kept out of New York, they should inMnierest to the nation’s welfare, be kept oi0 of all courts.* Judges of the type referred to by La Gnrdia. are not only a distructive liability, btfi a serious menace to desired peace and harmony.'We heartily agree with the NewYark rcnrPKPfit^livp ihprp is nn nlarp in th*)ne serious cause of conflict will be avoided if thi voluntary arrangement is made universal in its ar )lication by force of social pressure on both races —THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.UNITING THE METHODISM -•-The proposed union between the A.
