son. "Mr. Turner promised to meet us in the governor's office at 12 o'clock," suggested Mr. Wright, "so we will suspend judgment, knowing how bitter the Chicago Tribune is towards our people, all we see Mr. Turner at the state house."
o committee waited in the rotunda as capitol until the hour appointed meet the governor, but Mr. Turner did to put in his appearance.
after the committee had kept its apartment and finished its mission, they forged upon the best method to corp the evilday impression contained in a letter that in reading it hurdled, many of our people in Chicago could think the expressions of an individual member of the Race came as the voice of the committee.
Finally it was agreed to telegraph the -ibune a repudiation of the interview request to quest its publication. Mr. Wright then staffed the telegraph to the Tibune editor and it was promptly signed by all. The telegraph, to the Tibune published the following:
NEGROES OBJECT TO INDORSEMENT OF SEGREGATION
"An interview in this morning's Tribune, credited to a member of the committee to present a memorial to Gov. Lowden on the East St. Louis riot, does not represent our views when it approves segregation, separate schools, or anything else but equal rights for all citizens," says a telegram from members of the committee in Springfield.
It is signed by Edward H. Wright, Louis B. Anderson, R. R. Jackson, R. H; Abbott, and B. H. Lucas. Another member of the committee, the Rev. Archibald J. Carey, called up the Tribune and said: "We have been fighting segregation for twenty years. Many, in reading hurriedly, think the interview with an individual member of the Race came as the voice of the committee."
The Defender's representative procured statements from each member of the committee, including Mr. Turner, regarding the interview. Following are their statements:
ROBERT S. ABBOTT, Editor, Chicago Defender: "No man, woman or child, white or black, who has over heard of me, would credit me with approving such sentiments as contained in the interview printed by the Chicago Tribune, have been made by a member of the committee which presented the memorial to the governor.
"The fact that my paper has been barred from sale in certain southern cities, because it stands up unafraid and boned for every right to which the entire Republic has been entitled under the Constitution and the laws of the land, is the best evidence that I can produce that such vicious doctrine could not for one moment be sanctioned by me."
EDWARD H. WRIGHT, assistant corporation counsel: "I have no sympathy with the doctrine of voluntary concession on the part of the Race, which we result in depriving him of one right to own property, and I want no segregation of any kind—no separate schools, no exclusive public grounds, no separate public institutions of any kind!
"For more than twenty-five years I have been fighting for representation and equal rights for the Race in Chicago, while newspapers may misrepresent me, and while politicians selections in my own Race may traduce me, I will continue to fight for justice for my people and for their absolate equality before the law."
LOUIS B. ANDERSON, alderman, 2d ard: "Fortunately the Chicago Tribune, on the same day and on the same page with the purported vicious and unhilable interview, printed a resolution which I introduced and had passed in relation to the East St. Louis riot.
"It called on all citizens, of whatever race or creed, to unfinchingly respect the law, and to accord to all men every right and privilege guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the land.
"I do not believe any man or woman with any right to own blood in their veins would function my blood matter by whom expressed, that advocates the curtailment of the rights of the citizen on account of color."
REV. A. J. CAREY, pastor, Institutional church: "I have been fighting segregation all my life, and I am too old and seasoned in the fight to quit.
I understand that Mr. Turner was the member of the committee who took the copy of the memorial to the Tribune office. It would require a great stretch of my imagination to believe that Mr. Turner was correctly quoted. I know that the committee has claimed to the belief that they put into Mr. Turner's mouth the malignant thoughts that they themselves entertain towards our Race." REPRESENTATIVE R. R. JACKSON: "Whether correctly quoted or not, that interview which is reputed to have been with a member of the committee and blindly unaware, has done the race an injury from which it will take some time to recover.
"I cannot believe that any man of the Race, to say nothing of those composing that committee whose entire lives have been one continuous battle for the rights of our people, could utter such a helpless it, and I hope it will be shown that the member of the committee bearing the copy of the memorial to the Tribune office has been misrepresented."
REPRESENTATIVE BENJAMIN H. LUCAS: "Our people should know, if they don't, that the Chicago Tribune have for the Race. They have for years, the publicity they received and bemiried the Race whenever and wherever the occasion has arisen.
"It may be, and I hope it is true, that the alleged interview is the wild wish of the Tribune and not the expressions of the member of the Race who is regarded as the publicity editor.
"I am unalterably opposed to segregation in any form, and likewise opposed to any man, white or black, who would dare advocate it."
S. B. TURNER, Editor, Illinois Idea: "I am the member of the committee who delibertate the editor of the Chicago Tribune, the editor of the memorial presented to Gov. Lowry, who had a casual conversation with the gentleman an to whom I delivered it. It is absolutely untrue that I made the statements which the alleged interview with having made. I did not say that the people wanted to be segregated. I did not say that we wanted separate schools and playgrounds."
"During my conversation with the tribune representative there was nothing new, no new me that could in the slightest degree be said to the means on out which the alleged inter-

to impress the white people, and thus ally a strongly growing feeling of unrest and prejudice towards the Race.
The Other Lie
The other infamous story was about the saloon keeper being murdered. Chas. A. Muronde, 70 years old, 5161 State street, dropped dead from fatty degeneration, and the trumbe in an article intertwined with the word "Negroes, whites, blacks," etc., nearly caused a riot on July 4. The white people became incensed over the article and with much feeling still in the breasts of the members of the Race over the way that their brood had been East St. Louis, they began to arm themselves. Word went the rounds that a riot was feared. Many people left that section of the city and went to their friends' homes, while brothers and fathers because the Chicago Defender, having tipped off earlier in the morning, got hold of Louis B. Anderson and he, with Editor Abbott, informed the police. That night when a Defender reporter made the rounds two officers or two plain clothes men could be found on every corner of the city, the police not been prompt in their efforts to keep down trouble the Lord only knows what might have happened.
At the coroner's inquest it was ascertained that Maronde died of fatty degeneration of the heart. This statement was made by the coroner's physician, Dr. Springer (white). Minnie Miller was then employed by the deceased for the law practice years, says that the account published in the Herald was correct and the only one that was correct. The statement in the Tribune was absolutely untrue. There were no threats of any kind and the police service was unnecessary. Mrs. Florence Stehl, who is the dead man's daughter, corroborates the statements of Miss Sehmidt. The three statements, along with that of Dr. (Shadigai Beh) (the first physioe of the Road) to the X-ray in this city, and who has been Mr. Maronde's family doctor for twelve years) has been sworn to before a notary public.
EX-GOV. DENEEN NAILS
ANOTHER TRIBUNE LIE
July 19, 1935
The Defender.
3159 S. State St. Chicago
Gentlemen: Enclosed you will find a copy of an interview regarding the East St. Louis matter, which was given to the Daily News last Saturday at its request. Some of the morning papers published extracts from it which, with the head lines used, did not convey the meaning of the article to you so that if you publish it and at all you may publish it, in full as written.
Yours truly,
C. S. DENEEN.
The occurrences at East St. Louis have cast a sad reproach upon the administration of our laws. All the excuses and explanations that can be made can be found in the articles to citizens of Illinois of rights which were theirs by constitutional guaranty. And conditions in East St. Louis are not unlike those prevailing in Chicago and some of our other cities. The lax administration of the law; the encouragement and lawful adherence to the undermining of character in this evil environment and corruption of the morals of citizens, the bartering of the privileges of violating the laws, and the protection of notorious vice lords who trail in vice and crime, have brought reproach upon the laws' administration and lawful adherence to the undermining of character in this evil environment. The citizen looks about him and witnesses daily the toleration of law breaking and the corruption of morals. Under such conditions, the law for the maintenance of public order loses its restraining influence and is driven by great passions, the mob brushes the law aside and defies its authority.
The occurrences at East St. Louis should be a warning to our own city, for no community can tolerate such conditions and hope to have the law respects and be emphasized. The nation is about to call 1,000,000 young men for service and sacrifice in foreign lands. Those who remain at home will have duties not so pervious or full of sacrifice, and will be the chief of citizenance; and among them is the duty of eliminating the autocracy of crime and vice which is lowering and corrupting our community morals and making merchandise of our laws. For the good of our city, be this the city that pursues it too vigorously, carelessly and impartially.

The White Man's Burden
WE FEEL SORRY for the white people of Illinois, for the white people of every section of this broad—but not free—land. It is their shame, their crime, that awaits atonement. We have sacrificed on the altar of prejudice and race hatred a quarter of a hundred men, women and children in the last orgy staged recently in East St. Louis. It is not a story of the dark ages, when savagery was at its height, nor yet a review of the atrocities committed by the Belgians in their African colonies. It has to deal with a class heralded as the acme of twentieth century civilization, living not in Georgia, Texas nor any state below the Mason and Dixon line, but in Illinois, the home of the greatest of humanitarians, Abraham Lincoln.
Word pictures, no matter how forcefully presented, fail utterly to depict the lives enacted. Young girls in their teens, kicked, beaten with clubs and every of clothing torn from their bodies by white women and girls, were forced in misdeedess to flee for their lives. An aged man far from the scene of the riots accosted by a set of murderers with the remark, "Well, old man, I guess you know what's going on around here," then was shot in his tracks. One vicious in the gutter, showed signs of life as two rioters passed and was discribed with an oath and a bayonet thrust, it is said. Strong men were torn art limb by limb. Babies were snatched from the breasts of their mothers, witnesses aver, and tossed back into the burning buildings. The whole fiendish group actors, the setting and the plot were under the personal supervision of his tanic majesty.
Unlike most mobs, this one was made up of full grown men and women, who publicly avowed they had but one slogan: "We don't want the nigger." The lepths to which these blots on society have sunk is seen when, gazing upon the charred remains of their victims, they expressed their views on burial: "No need; they stayed in and got roasted. Why didn't those niggers come out and let us get a shot at them?" But enough of this picture, painted with the blood of innocent people, as horrible to look upon as the tortures found in a veritable hell. And yet there is no reverse side, no silver lining burning through the dark, angry clouds. There was no excuse. There are no extenuating circumstances, even though it is admitted, as claimed, that a majority of the dark people in East St. Louis were the scum of the earth.
The Negro of today, he he angel or devil, is just what the white man made him. For two hundred and fifty years he has been as a piece of clay in their is. They have denied him every means of advancement, have made special faws to crush and debase him, have taken his life without fear of punishment, for they were the law. Finally, with one fell swoop they removed the bended prop from under him, leaving him in an unfriendly environment and expected him to measure up to the standards of a race that has hundreds of years of civilization behind it. Is it fair? Is it just?
We speak of democracy as though it had reached the acme of perfection in these United States, and sit in judgment on other countries who hold autocracy still. We sympathize with the Belgians and with the Armenians, then proceed to lynch and burn at the stake one or more of the most loyal citizens the country affords, simply because of a difference in color. There are three sets of laws—not all on the statute books, but practiced, nevertheless: The law for the rich man, the law for the poor man and the law for the Colored man. No country can long prosper under such conditions, and unless steps are taken to remedy this evil internal strife will undoubtedly follow.
Twelve million people is no inconsiderable number, and, while they all may not have the proper stiffening in their backbone, enough wise men can be found among them to protest, and protest vigorously, against any abridgement of their rights as American citizens. The gun or the torch need never be resorted to in accomplishing this end. Because our highly civilized white brethren resort to these things to exterminate "a weaker and inferior" race is not reason sufficient for us to employ the same methods. Embodied in the criminal code of the revised statutes of Illinois, under the heading "SUPPRESSING MOB VIOLENCE," is found:
"Any person or persons composing a mob, under the provisions of this act, who shall by violence inflict material damage to the property or serious injury to the person of or any other person upon the pretence of exercising correctional powers over such person or persons, by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed guilty of a felony and shall suffer imprisonment in the penitentiary not exceeding five years; and any person so suffering material damage to property or injury to person by mob shall have an action against the county or city in which such injury is inflicted, for such damage as he may sustain, to an amount not exceeding $5,000.
"In case of lynching, the surviving spouse, lineal heirs or adopted children of any such other person or persons who, before the loss of life, were dependent for support upon any other person who shall hereafter suffer death by lynching at the hands of a mob, in any county or city of this state, may recover from such county or city damages for injury sustained by reason of the loss of life of such person, to a sum not exceeding $5,000."
We are going to be men and women; we are going to be law-abiding citizens. We are going to fight to the last ditch for what we know to be our God-given rights, but our fighting will be done through the courts. We will not raise mohs and attempt to shatter the very foundation of our government. We will not form ourselves into a band of murderers and commit crimes too fiendish and hellish—upon the innocent and guilty alike—to be recorded by our daily press. We will resort to the courts. If they fail—but they cannot fail—surely the good people must predominate. We have waited patiently all these bitter years for conditions to change; the sun has peeped from its hiding place many times, only to be obscured by such black, angry clouds as those that fell over East St. Louis recently. The Governor has given us his promise that the guilty will be brought to justice and has set the entire law machinery of the state in motion to accomplish this end. For the lives that have been sacrificed there can be no recompense. For the survivors a faithful settlement is demanded. We await the result, but we await

A citizen who may have become so by naturalization is protected by the government, in foreign lands and upon immigration, by the United States government, which is so well demonstrated by the present war, and this may extend to the property of the citizen. While the state has certain rights under our republican form of government, the United States has by its Constitution and amendments guaranteed that the state will not grant that guarantee extend under the tenth amendment, to life as well as property, and because a state has provided certain procedure of trial for the guilty, that guarantee extends under the tenth amendment, to life as well as property, and because a state has provided certain procedure of trial for the guilty, that guarantee extends under the tenth amendment, to life as well as property. The state governments provide in their bill of rights within their constituent rights, and further, the procedure when a crime has been committed.
The federal constitution amendments under the Constitution may be drawn between a state constitution that provides that citizens "have rights" and then the pro-
"PLEASE, OPEN THE DOOR"
A number of men and women of the Race in this city have the habit of standing behind the motorman with their mouths shut and expect him to see them when they want to get off the street car. The motorman does not have eyes behind the motorman to please open the door. Passengers grow tired of hearing women growing at a conductor or motorman. The women themselves are to blame. Let "Please, open the door," be the slogan when wishing to get off the car.

DR. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS
No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles
cedure for punishment after crime, and the federal constitution and amendments make it imperative that they "shall have" those rights, and which exist at the federal level, deprived of them by crimes committed.
If the federal instruments guarantee the right of life, liberty and property to its citizens the same as it guarantees the right of property to its citizens the reason nor conflict of authority which prevents the federal government from legislating for the rights of its citizens as well as its states.
If the rights that no community can absolutely guarantee the federal rights of citizens by its governmental functions as now exist and practiced.
If the rights are denied by destruction or community by a state judge or jury is a mockery, because the participants may be the principal actors in the trial. If the statute books which places the burden on the county by civil process, but the citizens of the county, which is defendant, sit in judgment and will have to, pay the judgments if obtained.
Due process of law means an impartial jury, and this cannot be obtained. The government territory the government tries him, but for the purpose of carrying out the guarantee of security in life and the guarantee of security in life, the states are not governmental territory.
The federal government goes into a state and regulates liquor, imposes taxes upon its citizens, alive or dead, and threatens over many local matters, sometimes government, and there is no law to prohibit the federal government from legislating by congress such provisions as would assume jurisdiction where life is without the crime or alleged crime, without the prosecution. It may be far fetched, but why could not a federal grand jury investigate and find an indictment against individuals for murder or destruction of property, or for the same such life was taken or properly destined with out due process of law in violation of the Fourteenth amendment?
I do not state this as a legal truism, but it is worthy of consideration.
I have discussed this question, only to conclude, by a statement, that congress could and should enact such encounters and court the power of investigation and trial of persons against persons or organized communities wherein the Fourteenth amendment is violated, to-wit the Fifteenth amendment, to a property without due process of law.
The Provident Dispensary and the Social Order
Our article on the closing of Provident dispensary was provocative of much discussion and wonderment. Many letters, many inquiries have come to this department demanding the reason why this useful institution is part of an institution should, after running for over twenty years, amid the most prosperous financial conditions the people have known in this vicinity, find it necessary to close doors and turn away hundreds and perish thousands of people. Dr. Williams
have come to this department demanding the reason why that this useful institution or part of an institution should, after running for over twenty years, amid the most prosperous financial condition of the people of color, have been known in this vicinity, find it, necessary, to close doors and turn away hundreds and thousands of people in the course of a month and cause them to seek other institutions for that care, and social service promised by President
We know that Provident hospital and Provident dispensary have dispensed their products safely in the community. We know that that there has been an annual deficit in one way, and yet, if this deficit was caused by the dispensing of charity to the worthy, in the final analysis it cannot be ignored. We know that as we stated before, the people are interested in the Provident dispensary and they feel the loss of it, and feel that when appeals are properly made to the Provident hospital that it is a privilege which they cheerfully grasp in contributing to this worthy cause.
Bring the Institution Before the People
school the Propient dispensary must
be fairly and squately put before the
people—the three in one must be kept
smoothly, the two in one should be kept busy a business of publicity and promotion as relates to this worthy institution. The common people, the good people are willing and will
be happy.
EDITOR'S MAIL
MORE DISCRIMINATION
Washington, D. C. July 13—Thousands of people are being taken on by the government every day and but few are being released. The government is capable or efficient, are given employment. In such departments as the treasury, they say it is the policy, of the administration not to make appointments. But the government is not that all. Something should be done to insure more representation when so much work is being done. Such prejudices should be dealt with immediately.
FOUND DEAD
Paducah, KY, July 13—"Bill" Stone, 85 years old, found dead early Sunday morning, July 8, in his front yard, 850 Burnett street.
The Colored people of this community feel at home—their friends feel at home and privileged to visit their sick when at Provident hospital.
CASE IN-POINT—Not long ago a very popular and well to young Collegiate hospital and from to the Post Graduate hospital and from to the Post Graduate he finally came to Provident hospital—and this young man, who was a good wife, whom everybody seemed to love, said in his days that he got a better room, a cleaner room, better service, felt more at home in Provident hospital than he was at home in the other two mentioned hospitals. Many of his friends told us that they too felt more welcome and 'comfortable' when they visited a sick friend in Provident hospital than in the other two institutions mentioned.
ANOTHER CASE IN POINT—An other case indicating the popularity of juvenile hospitals and training school was that of Mrs. Mkha, who was part of June, given for the benefit of Provident hospital. Through the popular hospital they were able to realize over $300,000 of this worthy institution. But, as we said before, this institution must be made aware of people the people must be made acquainted with. Provident hospital—the people must be taken into the confidence of the manager—into the institution, and be given an opportunity to work. We have faith enough to believe the needs and requirements from
To His Excellency Frank O. Lowden, Governor of Illinois:
This memorial is presented to your Excellency in behalf of two hundred thousand citizens of your state who belong to the Colored race—or citizen African descent.
The recent mob violence directed against our people in East St. Louis conclusively that something is radically wrong, either in our system of government or in the conceptions of justice and Christianity of the American people, at the foundation of the trouble.
The government of the United States was founded for liberty and justice all people. Its soldiers are now on the battle-front in Europe ready to fight for universal democracy; the Colored citizens are called upon to tender their quota both by volunteers and by conscription, for the maintenance of the high ideal our country and the protection of its institutions, and in no emergency have we failed to respond to our country's call.
If the Constitution of our native land affords protection to all citizens, naturalized and native born, except the citizen of African descent, we should know it.
If the fight for a world democracy means that all people should share in its benefits, except the American Negro, the world should be made to understand the limitations of its fight for freedom and opportunity.
We are in no position to exercise force. We would be reckless and foolhardy indeed to do other than appeal to the best conscience of the American people and ask that the Constitution be respected as to all citizens alike.
In the struggle for advancement and the betterment of the conditions of the masses the Negro is animated by the same impulses that influence all other human beings. We shall not willingly submit to be serfs in a land of freemen.
We shall demand, with all the energy at our command, that the rights of citizens be accorded us, and that our government protect us against all lawbreakers when those rights are invaded.
The member of the mob who bands with others to trample upon the Constitution and the laws is just as much a traitor to his country as the slacker and the spy in time of war.
Such men should be dealt with as traitors and the heavy hand of the law should come down upon them; and every loyal American should rally to the maintenance of the law and insist upon the swift and sure punishment of the lawless.
We wish to voice our vigorous protest against all influence which tends to justify the deprivation or curtailment of the rights of the citizens.
We protest against the conclusions of the State Council of Defense to the effect that citizens should not freely travel from one section of our country to another in their effort to better their condition and prepare for the future of their children. If foreigners may freely come and find a peaceful domicile in any part of the United States, we insist that no provision of our Constitution justifies the limiting the rights of the native born Colored citizen in the enjoyment of such privileges.
We protest against those organizations which, under the pretext of bettering the condition of the laboring man, would violate the sacred principles of the Constitution of the land by depriving offer citizens, through threats, intimidation and violence, of the rights that they themselves enjoy.
The time has come when all the world should know whether our country stands for freedom and justice and equality for all citizens, under the law, or whether any part or class of its citizenship is to be deprived of those privileger with the sanction of the Government—local or national.
Twelve million Negroes await anxiously the settlement of this moment question.
We are but a "drop in the ocean" as compared to one hundred million citizens of America. We can do naught but appeal to the best conscience and Christian spirit of that vast body of American citizens who believe in law—who believe in God—who believe in the destiny of America—to point the way to a great freedom and a wider liberty to all the peoples of the earth.
If the answer should be, that to us alone these blessings shall be denied, and for us must be slavery and serfdom or annihilation, we are ready for the sacrifice—for never will we, of choice, accept anything but justice.
But should that day come (and God grant it may not!), freedom will have perished from the face of the earth and Christianity will he but a mockery.

To the White American
(An answer to Herbert Kaufman)
In 1861-5 half a million white men perished in an insurrection between the north and south. The extension of slavery was the bone of contention. The south rebelled because the north was opposed to the south's policy of extending slavery in the free states, which would have brought about competition between the north and the right or wrong of slavery was not an issue. The slogan of the north was to defeat the south and preserve the Union. After several adversities the north reentered the army and go to the front, and 180,000 responded to the call. The Negro had fought and won honors in other wars, but in this war he distinguished himself in the battle of the life of his bravery on the battlefield, in blood, especially at Fort Wagner, Fort Fisher and at Millikens Bend. Right prevailed and the Union was saved, and those who died fighting for the right.
Since that great conflict ten thousand Negroes have been murdered, lynched and killed, and stalkers have hauled up impunity as though it the pinnacle of the twentieth century civilization. At first the north looker or with one eye strong protector, but the downward spirit of the south, like Blanques ghost, would not be downed, and soon the weak-kneed north was conquered, and the morals of the two are now alarmed. In the south the Negro has been denied every right guaranteed by the constitution and its amendments, while in the north the Negro has been but foreigners of every nationality have been received with opened arms and given every right of an American citizen, employed in every field of industry, labor unions, and labor unions, while the avenues to the same and opportunities are denied the American Negro and thus the door of hope is closed in his face. His loyalty and bravery from the time that Cripps Attucks fell a martyr on the Commons of Boston; during the of 1861-63; at El Caley, Las Guasimas and at San Juan, where the Colored soldiers not only showed bravery, but loyalty to a superior white officers. An yet
open to any nationality who qualify to enter.
In spite of the above wrongs as Mr. Kauffman co-owns the American flag is no danger the Negro wrongs or lays an end to his personal wrongs or lills and offers equal services to the American given equal opportunity to fight and for the flag. Can any man be more loyal? What would France give today to three million such men, be they white black.
So I will say to Herbert Kauffman and all white Americans: Fear not the loyalty of the American Negro, who has unyielded attention to the burning terranean mines of the silent foreign born, to the sympathizers of the energies, to the American pacifists and to the opportunities of conservation and preparedness.
