Both of them let it stop there. There was a logical answer to that ... the owners of the machines could buy automobiles and if you increase the number of owners you increase the number of consumers.

• Every lynching deprives its victim of his life without due process of law, and denies him an equal protection of the law. The States are charged with punishing all such invasions as the common rights of the citizens, but some of them have failed in their effort to do so, and others have not honestly tried. Meanwhile, lynchings continue, and though they do not increase in number, they show some tendency to increase in savagery.

S. talked to him freely on this matter.

• God grant me grace my prayers to say:
  O God! preserve my mother dear,
  In strength and health for many a year;
  And O! preserve my father too,
  And may I pay him reverence due;
  And may I my best thoughts employ
  To be my parents' hope and joy;
  And O! preserve my brothers both
  From evil doings, and from sloth,
  And may we always love each other,
  Our friends, our father, and our mother,
  And still, O Lord, to me impart
  An innocent and grateful heart,
  That after my last sleep I may
  Awake to thy eternal day! Amen.
