OPEN. LETTER TO. PRESIDENT WILSON
Sent by Prof. Wm.' Pickens of Morgan College—A plea for The "Convicted" Arkansas Afro-
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 26, 1919.
To the President of the United States,
His Excellency, Thos. Woodrow
Wilson, Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. President—It is the
mind of multitudes of good Americans
that the legal department of the
general government should not stand
aside and see scores of American
citizens legally murdered and onslaved in Helena, Ark., simply because those Americans happen to be also Negroes.
It is well known that colored people riot only in defending themselves against white people in this country.
This, of course, is not necessarily due to any superior virtues in colored people. But people who are hopelessly in the minority, numerically, and more than in a minority materially—such people do not start riots, and we all know it.
More Negroes were murdered in the Eminence and Helena, Arkansas, riots, and ONLY Negroes are being convicted—by juries composed of all white people—friends and relatives of the white rioters, if not the actual rioters themselves being on these juries.
This is outrageous. The President of the United States must be interested in a matter like this.
If Arkansas be right in killing these Negroes for attempting to defend themselves what earthly harm could come to Arkansas by having the Federal Government to investigate the matter and find out and actually the antioffences of Arkansas?
Congress should be urged to investigate this case.
Southern. "Justice"
Decatur, Ga.,—David Smith, (white, a truck farmer, was charged with committing a criminal assault on a little girl, Lucinda Davis, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Davis, members of the race, living near this town. The father of the girl engaged two lawyers to prosecute the guilty party and the case was called for trial. Four days previous to the trial the two lawyers game to the father and tried to have him withdraw the charge. He refused and went to see some of the best people in Decatur and Atlanta, and he was advised to change his lawyers. Although he had used these two lawyers one hundred dollars, he secured Harry Hill as his counsel and paid him one hundred dollars more. Despite the strong case presented by Mr. Hill, a mistrial was ordered. The case was to be called again the first Monday in this

A year's subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette makes a most acceptable Xmas gift. Many of our readers, each year, take advantage of this opportunity and find the present greatly appreciated in every instance. Louis Parente, a San Francisco promoter, is anxious to arrange a four-wand beat between Jack Dempsey and Harris Wills. Parente is of the opinion that the bout would draw tremendous in Fresco, and it probably won.

This surpasses the record of any other Afro-American legislator.—Cincinnati (O. U.) Union.
Increase of English
In the year 1900 there were about six million persons who spoke English—a much smaller number than spoke French, German, Italian or Spanish. Today English-speaking people number about one hundred and twenty millions, or about double the number of those who speak French, Italian or Spanish and half as many again as speak German or Russian.

Fighting Prejudice in the District of Columbia Supreme Court Restaurant To Honor Grimke-"Jim Crow" Negroes Again-Manning
Washington, D. C., Proof, Neal H. Thomas, a member of the faculty of the W. St. Hirg School for our students, lived for some years, in his home in Chicago, O. This individual is still in active part in work and work in the school. What a chance that Mr. N. and I have had to teach in the North! We are watching to see how many of the "blue Norwegians" here are going to his asstitute in this fight for the race. The Grinleids, Proof, Proof, Kelly Miller, Judie Tentrell, Proof, Gee W. Cook, Rosie C. Bruce, and a score of choirs are being watched to see what if any part, they take in this contest: For a month, or more, Proof, Thomas has been fighting the Justices of
Hon. Joseph C. Manning
the District Supreme Court to make
it an open the restaurant in the Court
House to colored lawyers, litigants,
and the public in general. His efforts
have been met with all sorts of sub
have been met with all sorts of sickness, but Mr. Thomas is not the one to be set aside, or fooled by subterfuges. Two colored ladies, litigants in the Court, were recently refused before a large crowd of white people when they required to the restaurant for lunch. Mr. Thomas did not want to bring their names into the controversy, since they had a case to be decided by these same judges who were thought to be responsible for the discrimination. So he went down to test it last week, to get his own case. He was given three excuses in the name of the Court, namely that the restaurant was for a "Bar Association" that the Court was going to establish a colored restaurant, and that colored people could not be served by order of the Court. Mr. Thomas sent three vigorous letters to the Court denying its right to exclude colored people from its right to the Court denying its right to exclude colored people from its right to the Court House, or to give over our public building to any white "Bar Association" to which all law could not belong, or to insult the

"He promised me to take up the matter with the full bench of six justices, so I told him I would be on hand, to test the case again. The colored people should go there now and then to show the community that we have rights there. I told the justice I was protesting although I was his subordinate in the public schools of which he is heard, but that he could have my job, imprison me for—contempt of court, or do anything else to me he wished." Good!
Although both branches of the congress have Republican majorities the restaurants of the House and Senate refuse our people alone of all the local public and visitors from out of the city. This and like discrimination, on top of the defeat of the Madden bill to wipe out "jim crow" cars as far as they affect interstate passengers, has not improved the morale of our people of this city and the country, to say the least. Southgrin "jim crow" Negroes are said to have helped to kill the Madden bill by writing to U. S. Senators and saying that its message would cause much blood-letting in the southland. Lord, have mercy!
The local branch of the N. A. A. C. V. is to hold a public meeting, Dec. 10, in honor of the Third Baptist church, in honor of the Hon. A. H. Grimke's 70th birthday. The speakers will be the Hon.

CLEVELAND, 0., DEC. 13, 1919
Recently almost every car-line in
the city, except the Central Ave. line
was given a new and improved run-
ning schedule. Why this discrimin-
ation against our people particularly,
by the Maschke-Davis administra-
tion? Except during “rush” hours
cone has to wait from cight to ten min-
utes for a Central Ave. car and, with
‘one or two exceptions, when they
come, 0, such cars! ‘They evidently
were here “when Noah shoved off.”
Even during the “rush” hours two and
sometimes three (each) “Woodland”
and Buckeye Road cars will pass while
one is waiting for a Central car. No
wonder Phil Hurst (of many years
ago) “dublred” those cars, “the Afri.
can branch.”
‘The editor of The Gazette acknow!-
edges the receipt of an invitation to

DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR?
Last ‘Thursday, another member of
the Jewish race was appointed an as-
sistant pdlice prosecutor. This makes
two or thre in that deparjuent alone
‘This is the position that 8 refused
a meniber of the race (R. R. Cheeks,
Esq.) over three years ago by Mayor
Davis and altho there have since been
four or five similar vacancies, the
Maschke-Davis administration (Maur-
ice Maschke is a Jew) has steadily
refused to give ar Afro-American one
of the four appointments in that
branch of the city’s service. The
same thing that eaases the adminis-
trition to refuse our people this small
appointment is what caused it to
“dump” Alex: H. Martin, our candi-
date fora “Muny” judgeship at the
recent election. And Mayor Harry
L. Davis is’ an avowed candidate for
governor of Ohio, next year. Good
Lord! Four years mayor of Cleve-
land and duving those four years he
has also steadily’ refused to appoint an
‘Afro-American to's clerkship in the

SAME OLD “STUNT”!
‘The reappearance of “The Birth of a
Nation” in some of the cheaper picture
houses called forth an emphatic >.
test to Gov. Cox. The national office
was notified and added their protest
with the result that the objection-
able film was definitely withdraven
from the state.—Cleveland Branch
Bulletin, N. A. A. C. P.
The foregoing is misleading and
does NOT leave a truthful impress.
‘The fact is the result referred to had
been accomplished by wire by the ed-
itor of The Gazette before the “Cleve-
land branch” got started in the mat-
ter and “the’ national office notified.”
If is about time the N. A. A.C. P. and
some of its branches abandoned its
old “stunt” of claiming all or even
part of the credit for things it or they
have NOT done or only helped to do.
“The Old Reliable” Gazette secured
“the definite withdrawal” of “Th
Birth of a Nation” without assistance
from the N. A. A. C. P. or any of
its branches some time previous to the
“reappearance” referred to.
DU BOIS, A SOCIALIST?
Mr. Steve Mason, of Bloomfield,
Ky., writing The Gazette, recently,
said:
“{ notice DuBois’ article on re-
construction. It is alright until he
kets to the point where he advises
our people to scratch the ticket. If
T understand, he wants our people to
vote for a Democrat”.
We understand that Dr. W. E. B.
DuBois, editor of the Crisis, is a So-
cialist. If this be the case, he was
undoubtedly indirectly trying to boost
the interests of his party rather than
those of the Democratic party. In
either case he would be wasting his
time, as far as our people are con-
ree because if ever there was a
time when they want nothing of cith-
er the Socialist or Democratic parties
it is now. Our experiences, as a race,
at home and abroad, during and since
the World War, have been such as to
make all of our voters actually year
for an opportunity to vote the Repub-
ican ticket, especially in a national
election, Editor DuBois showed our
people, last year in June, at Washing-
ton, D. C., that, tho highly educated
‘and able, he was not always a safe
fee by any means.

| “REDS” IN THE GOVERNMENT
‘The manner in which the Congress-
ional Committee on Immigration is
identifying employees of the U. S.
Department of Labor with anarchists
marked for deportation and saved by
these Federal officcholders, lends
great deal of color to the charges
made by Senator James Watson, of
Indiana, respecting the Federal Trade
[Commission as a hotbed of revolution-
aries, It is probable that when the
[Watson resolution is acted upon and
|an investigation of the Commission is
made, additional facts will be forth-
coming showing the oxtent to which
the Wilson Administration has per-
mitted, if not actually sanctioned, the
‘honeyeombing of the departmental!
‘bureaus with enemies of the Republic
and of all organized government, but
steadfast friends of the “new free-
dom,” which seems to be a Woodro-

While it is true that occasional ad-

is equally true that constant, persist-

‘The merchant who considers riches

text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio
| Civil Rights law which the editor had
enacted while a member of the 71st
General Assembly, in 1894:
—.
i ‘The General Cade of Ohio:
Sec. 12940, Whoever, being the
proprietor or his employee, keeper or
manager of an inn, restaurant, cat-
ing house, barber-shop, public con-
veyance by land or water, theater or
other place of public accommodation
and amusement, denies to a citizen,
except for reasons applicable alike
to all citizens and regardless of race
or color, the full enjoyment of the ac
commodations, advantages, facilities
or privileges thereof, shall be fined not
less than fifty dollars nor more than
five hundred dollars, or imprisoned
not less than thirty days nor more
than ninety days, or both.
Sec, 12941, Whoever violates the
next preceding section shall also pay
not less than fifty dollars nor more
than five hundred dollars to the per-
son aggrieved thereby to be recov-
ered in any court of competent jur-
isdiction in the county where such of-
fense was committed.
‘This law has repeatedly been held
constitutional and good law by the
Ohio Supreme court. ‘The trouble is
our people will not use it as often as
they should, but expect it to do for
them what they should and must do
for therhselves, under it, in the courts.
OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern our-
selves and work tovether for
our own advancement. If we
do not learn to govern ourselves
and work togetior for our own
advancement, we may be very
sure that we will he governed
by others in their own interest
as well as worked by others for
their own advancement and not
our-—George W. Blount.
PREJUDICE
“Any prejudice whatever will
be insurmountable if those who
do not share in it themselves
truekle to it and fistter it and
accept it is a lay of nature.”—
John Stuart Mill.

PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.
‘To submit fn silence when
we should protest makes co-
wards out of wen. The han-
an race has climbed on Pro-
test. Had no voice been rals-
ed against Injustice, Ignor-
ance and lust, (he Inquisition
yet would serve the law, and
guillotines deciis our ‘least
disputes, ‘The few who dare,
must speak and speak again
te right the wrongs of many.
—Ella Wheeler Wileox.
“HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT.”
My car ix pained
My soul is sick with every day’s
report
Of wrong and outrage, with
which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's ob-
durate heart.
It does not feel for man: the
natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as
the flax
‘That falls asunder at the touch
of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a
skin
Not colored like his own: and
having power
‘To enforce the wrong, for such
a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his
lawful prey.
‘Thus man devotes his brother,
and destroys:
‘Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.
—Cowper.

¢ #=6THE MAN WHO DARES. *
“I honor the man who In
the conseientions discharge of
his duty dares to stand alone;
the world, with ignorant, ins
tolevant judgment, may ‘eon-
demn, the countenances of
relatives may be averted, and
the hearts of friends ‘grow
cold, but the sense of duty
done shail be sweeter than
the applause of the world,
the countexances of relatives
or the hearts’ of trlends.”—
Charles Sumner.
For those who enjoy a good glass
of beer or stronger drink, there is one
chance left for them to gratify their
desive. ‘The only way that this may
be accomplished is to make it your-
self. Home brewing and the making
ci strong liquors without the use of
stills or machinery is as yet in its in-
fancy in this country. In Europe,
however, it is a daily task of the av-
erage housckeeper. ‘To meet the de-
mand for a reliable book of instrue-
tions and receipts for the Home Mak-
ing of Liquor, a Master Brewer has
revealed his priceless formulas and
trade secrets in a new, copyrighted
hook "SECRETS OF HOME BREW-
ING.” This wenderful book contains
OVER 200 of the choicest professional
recipies and full instructions, for the
making in your own kitchen of beer,
wines, gin and whiskey. These bev-
erages can be easily and successfully
made from farm products, with ordi-
Giney- Goonies atenils’. <The. pensent:

Mrs. Eva Jones and son, Everett have returned from Hillsboro. Mrs. Beulah Evans of No. 2369 East 65th St., who has been ill for a month is convalescing. The remains of Mrs. Lucy Trimble were taken to Hillsboro for burial. Funeral, last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Anna Jones, a former resident of this city, now in business in Youngstown, was in the city the first of the week. Mrs. Fannie Sampson Norwood, Wilmington, N. C., is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Dale. She may move her family. Mrs. Rena Belvin, 2479 E. 37th St. who was called home to Atlanta, Ga. to attend a sister's funeral, will return to the city soon. Some members are trying to stir up "a hornet's nest" in Shiloh Baptist church while others are leaving the church and joining others. Dr. J. K Nickens lectured to a large audience at M. Pere Baptist church, Monday evening, and Mrs. Nickens made an interesting address.
After Jan. 1, 1920, The Gazette will be two dollars a year! If you owe for your subscription be sure to pay before the first of the new year and save fifty cents!
Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Scott spent Thanksgiving with Mrs. Scott's relatives in Erie, Pa. The doctor enjoyed first the week near Menton hummingbirds.

The Dunbar Literary society drew a large crowd, Tuesday evening. Interesting debates are being held. Next meeting, Tuesday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church.
The minister's Conference, representing twenty local Baptist churches, held an interesting meeting, Monday evening, at Zion Hill Baptist church, cor. E. 55th St. and Thackery Ave.
Ralph Wilgera Tyler has returned from Columbus and resumed his position with the Ambrosia Toilet Co. It is said. The political job at the state capital did not materialize, it seems.

A year's subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette makes a most acceptable Xmas gift. Many of our readers, each year, take advantage of this opportunity and find the present greatly appreciated in every instance. Miss Addie W. Pickle, formerly of Greenville, Miss, one of our local public school teachers, and Luther W. Nickle, W. Nickle's Thanksgiving day, at Mrs. Taylor's, 2188 E. 73rd St. Sinceest congratulations and best wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Nickle. Warren J. Cossey, who had been in Pasadena, Calif., in charge of Charles M. Schwab's private car, for a month, arrived in the city to spend Thanksgiving with his wife. Mr. Schwab thinks a great deal of "Warry." Nickles and Fitzgerald's new quarters at the corner of E. 34th St. and Central Ave. are neat, cozy and ample. Go in and see them! Both men are well and favorably known and sort their business under the most encouraging circumstances. Their conduct of the St. John funeral recently, is still being praised by all who attended it.
The Coleridge Taylor Choral Society has reorganized. Mme. Rachel Walker Turner is the musical directress and T. J. Hicks, assistant. The other officers elected are: Milton Gibson, pres.; John Murrell, vice; Henry Dhent, sec.; Phillip White, cor. sec.; William Anderson, treas. The society meets every Wednesday evening at the Community Center.

Prof. H, B. Britt, of Louisville, Ky., sang at Zion Hill Baptist church, Sunday, and was given ($25) the largest collection (donation) for one song he ever received and he has sung in many parts of this country and the Old World. Prof. Britt, who will sing at Triedstone Baptist church, E. 38th and Scovill Ave., Sunday, is really a remarkable evangelistic or gospel singer.
The Harmony Trio, composed of Mrs. Cleage, Mrs. Olive Wells Ball and Miss Gladys Wells had a narrow escape from fatal injuries, recently, when the auto in which they were being driven from Alliance to Cleveland ran down an embankment, they were badly shaken up. The trio had just closed a successful season in the east under the direction of the Coit Lyevum bureau.
After a fifteen minutes talk by Langston Hughes on "The Negro Problem in America" in the Civics senior class at Central High School, recently, the scholars sat in amazement at the atrocities mentioned by him and so forceful were the facts presented that a member of the class asserted that he could not understand how such mistreatment in this country of the Afro-American who fought in the recent world war for the cause of democracy could be possible.
Miss Helen Wright, one of our local public school-teachers, continues very ill with pneumonia. The community was shocked at the news of the death of her greatgrandmother, "Mother" Palmer, of the pioneer residents of Cleveland. She was the mother of Mrs. William Hayes and M. Andrew Braggs, of N. Yakima, Wash, and former resident of this city, and grandmother of Mr. Walter Wright, Jr., Chicago, formerly of this city.
Louia V. Jones, the popular and gifted young violinist, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music of Boston, will give a recital in Epworth Memorial church, Prospect Ave. and E. 55th St., Monday evening, Dec. 29. As this is Mr. Jones' first local concert appearance since his graduation, Cleveland's music loveable public should turn cut en masse to hear their native son. It will be THE musical affair of the holiday season. The Hiawatha club elected the following officers at the recent meeting at Mrs. L. S. Jones', E. 101st St. Mrs. Carrie Crawford, pres. (re-elected for the ninth consecutive term); Mrs. W. H. Thurston, sec. and parliamentarian; Mrs. Benj. Shook, ms. Mrs. Carrie B. Benj. pres.; Mrs. Walter B. Wright, chairman of program committee; Mrs. Lucy Douglass and Mrs. Fred Scott, chapleas. Quotations on "Thanksgiving" were thoroughly enjoyed. The club met, last week, Monday afternoon, at Mrs. Wm. McIntyre.
Large congregations greeted the new pastor at St. James A. M. E. church, again Sunday. The members are greatly pleased with him, thus far, and feel that he is capable of continuing the excellent work of his splendid predecessor, the Rev. O. W. Childers, who was sent to Dayton. The "Tom Thumb" wedding at the church was a success. The Boy Schoenfeld every Monday in the church, J. W. Holland is so master. Rev. Childers had grown to be the great A. M. E. Church's leading pastor in this city.
Much is being said anent Col. Charles Young's advice to our people to join forces with the good people of this country to route every vestige of radicalism that threatens the safety of this country." He does not mean that our people are to lessen any legitimate efforts we are making to secure all of our rights and privileges as citizens, but is directing his attack Bolshevists at the W. and the like. Designing whites at Nerogs are very busy, these days, trying to create an opposite impression.
Mrs. John Newell, president of the board of directors of the Women's Protective Association, wrote Attorney Harry E. Davis, under date, Nov. 24, '19, in reply to a letter from him, that the board had abandoned the idea of a "jim-crow" delinquent home for our girls. Splendid work, Harry! Keep it up by seeing that the local delinquent girl's homes are open and all others in the community girls common with all others in the community are a real pleasure for The Gazette to give Mr. Davis full credit for this very prompt and meritorious action.
That "Hyde Park." Chicago, association, the outgrowth of the establishment of that city's "jim crow" Y. M. C. A., last week circulated posters notifying our people of that and the Kenwood districts, Chicago, to move! Meantime, the association's efforts to establish "jim crow" schools in that city have not been lessened. The "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. is certainly a most pernicious harmful bit of segregation for our people where-ever it is established in this section of the country. Cleveland's "jim crow" Neal, the race here will please "take notice." Major W. T. Anderson, retired U. S. Army chaplain, landed in The Gazette office, the first of the week, very much perturbed over the statement in a local publication that Col. Charles Young, in his recent speech in this city, "rapped the American Legion"
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 18, 1919
ette and "admonished the race to burst it asunder." The Major characterized the statement as a lie cut out of whole cloth and insists that the Colonel said nothing that could even be twisted into such a statement. The fact that Col. Young lives at Wilberforce may explain this dirty and characteristic attack upon him. Anything from that little college town is apparently like "The Old Reliable" Gazette to some people, these days. Don't get excited again, Major, over anything it says as it won't bother you much longer.

"The Cleveland police force needs more men and needs them at once," declared Chief Frank W. Smith, Monday, in issuing an appeal to the public to aid in increasing the number of recruits. It is true that the pay for the first year, $1,500, is not high, but at the end of the first year it amounts to $1,800, and after three years' service the policeman is entitled to take examinations that lead to higher rank and higher pay. The long hours in the department have been abolished. The job is now one of an eight-hour day, giving plenty of time for recreation. After twenty-five years' service the policeman can retire on a pension ranging from $65 to $125 a month. If he should die in the meantime there is a $5,000 lump sum pension for his widow, to take a lifelong pension for her other pensions for his children until they reach the age of 16. There are very few positions in other lines of work that do as well by a man. I would direct attention of members of the American Legion to the openings on the force for returned soldiers. They are the kind of men we would like to have. The medical examination is not as strict as that of the army." Our soldier boys and others should take advantage of this opening.
STOP THROWING AWAY MONEY!
In an able address, delivered in this city, Monday, U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding said, among other things, anent what he called the "spendthrift" attitude of the present day:
"America will never get its hat on straight while its intoxicated Indians of citizens are spending in the way they are. A world, compensated as it is today, is living without thought of compensation is matched by a sweeping tide of expenditure. This country will come to its senses only when it feels the pinch."
To no class of people in this country is the foregoing more truly applicable than to ours. Our people, too many of them, making more money than they ever before in their lives dreamed of making, have gone "stark crazy," spending with an abandon that characterizes the "drunken sailor" only. Too few are saving a dollar for the future—that future which is bound to come and is but a few years away at best—when they will need, and sorely, too, as they have many, many times prior to the past few years, what they are literally throwing away, these days. Our leaders, especially our newspapers and ministers, should be warning them just as often as the opportunity affords. Senator Harding, in calling attention to the matter, is performing a service the American people will some day thank him for. We do so now—for our people.
CONTEMTIRLE
The following, from the "sport page" of the Cleveland Daily News, was evidently written by some southern "cracker" reporter who has the same regard for the truth, Jack Johnson and our people: "Johnson, his title and his fortune swept away, a fugitive from justice and an outlaw from his native land, is today pittilactious. His rise from the Calgentine堡 was heavy-weight championship served him of what little sense originally was contained in his bullet head, and he ran amuck in the brief time that the linelight beamed upon him. However, wiser heads than his have been turned by success, and he is, perhaps, deserving of pity rather than censure. The victim of his own foolishness, he hovers about beyond the pale, living as best he can on the lean pickings to be derived from his sparring exhibitions in the built rings, second-class music balls in the strife torn republic that stretches southward from the Rio Grande.
"Instead they (Johnson and Carl Morris) will answer the changing call of the gong in an isolated border town before a gathering of greesers and ventureurs. Americans who have been the gongmer to do than to cross into an arid land to meet the meeting of a half-forgotten outcast and a blundering fourth-rater."
According to persons who know, Jack Johnson is not "broke" but has plenty of money and has been making a very liberal amount of it in Spain and Mexico—ever since his banishment from this country for "making a fool of himself" as many champion pugilists did before him but got away with because they were "white." Johnson's "crime," in the eyes of prejudiced America was not simply his consorting with white women. That was objectionable to them, it is true, but was only used to "get him." His use of crimes" was the whipping of Jeffries, the champion "white" whom they thought invincible. The real animus of the "cracker" reporter's venomous attack upon Johnson and the race is made clearer in the last sentence. Carl Morris who is matched with Jack is "white." See!!
DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY!
"Let us have faith that right
makes might, and in that
faith let us to the end dare
to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln.
"THINK AS A MAN"
Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American. Think as a man.—Dr. Frank Crane.

GAYS WERE JOINING THE “REDS”!
Absolutely No Truth In The Statement
Says Dr. Wm. A. Byrd and the Entire Race
Press—Afro-Americans, Most Loyal
Citizens, Demand Their Rights
and Privileges and Just
Treatment!
The Associated Press on Sabbath,
Nov. 23rd., published the report of the
Department of Justice, rather the de-
partment. of injustice and incompe-
tence, on “Bolshevism and Redist®” in
America. The astounding statements
respecting colored people and colored
news-organs cannot go unchallenged.
‘That there is ground to believe Ne-
groes are joining the ranks of “reds”
to overthrow the government, we
doubt very much and cali upon the
Department to give facts and not prej-
udiced and sectional conclusions that
are reached and published to mitigate
the shameful miscarriage of justice as
practiced by that Department, “That
race journals have published the fact
that Negroes have found themselves
and will not take what they once took,
is not “redism” but real American-
iam which hates injustice and lieing.
‘Negroes should not take any more op-
‘pression than whites take. A democ-
) ;
| re cor
racy guarantees to every citizen the
same and equal rights before the law
and in the protection of rights, life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
If, under a democracy. colored people
are satisfied and willingly take un-
democratic treatment, they are not
worthy citizens and constitute a men-
ace to the liberty of every other
American citizen, “For what oppres-
sion will do to one race for its ad-
vantage it will do to all when their
selfish advantage has power and force
‘enough to repeat it. This race con-
‘sciousness of hating oppression and
fighting it is one of the most hopeful
signs of democracy coming to its own
in America, Real Americans “tote
square” with every race. Only the
cowards and curs resort to oppression
and prejudice to injure a fellow Amer-
fean' of any color. Unfortunate for
the present Administration, it is and
has unjust toward colored peo-
ple. During the war when it was
feared that the desertion of the Ne-
gro might prove advantageous to the
foe and disastrous to America, the De-
partment hired, men to go North,
uth, East and West among Negroes
preaching “our country, we are one
people, white and black,” but soon as
the armistice was signed the Depart-
ment did its worst to make the col-
ored man feel that this is a “white
man's country” and that colored men
will, get what they received before
the War, ‘The race riots were part of
‘a well laid plan to make the black
boy, who went throurh hell in France,
cow before the brutal mob spirit of
America. In this the enemies of do-
mocracy failed and for one time felt
the sting of conscious manhood in a
once long-suffering and timid race,
but a race that is not afraid to die
when it is honorable to die nov shzink
from fighting when liberty is at stake.
We agree with the Department that
colored people are hostile toward the
south. Why should they not be? Has
not the south out-Turkeyed Turkey in
savagery? Is not the South, im and
‘out of Congress, implacable foes to
the rights and liberties of colored peo-
ple, everywhere? Is. it not a, fact
law and government have failed
in the south and only anarchy, force
and mob, violence rule supreme? Did
not the south in France and in Amer-
ea seek to have the world recognize
the colored race as inferiors and by
every conceivable device of treachery
and foul play seck to discredit col-
gred people at home and abread?, If
if is Bolshevism to hate the south, the
race pleads guilty to the charge. " We!
do not think it so. but we fecl it is
our bounden duty to relentlessly op-
pose the south until it is licked again,
not by the sword but iy an aroused
public opinion against its law!essness
and autocracy. ‘The south like Mex-
feo, must be taught 2 lesson of law
and order. The sooner the lesson i
given and heeded, the better it will
for all concerned, If this present
‘Administration had been American in
its policies and just in the execution
of its laws, no class of American cit-
izens would have honored the Admin-
istration more than the colored, Be-|
cause the Administration was domin-
ated by the southern unjust policies
is the reason that we fecl that the,
time cannot come to soon to rid the

WAR RISK INSURANCE
An Appeal To Our Soldiers To Save
It That Should Be Headed.
If all the 400,000 Afro-Americans
who were in the army and navy dur-
ing the World War do not keep up
their War Rick Insurance it will not
be the fault of our Welfare organi-
zations throughout the country,
Spurred by the fact that only about
five p. e. of our solider boys are re-
taining their insurance now that thoy
are out of the service, many of our
leading organizations have started re-
newed activity to save for them the
War Risk Insurance upon which they
paid premiums while in the service.
The average face value of each policy
carried was $8,740. Although a
large per cent of this insur-
ance has been allowed to lapse,
it has not been lost’ to the men
under the very liberal reinstate-
ment privileges granted veterans of
the World War. Our organizations
not only are offering the men infor-
mation as to their insurance rights
and privileges, under the provisions
‘of the War Risk Insurance Act, but
are voluntarily aiding them in again
placing their insurance in good stand-
ing. ‘These organizations are ren-
dering valuable work in co-operating
with our representative who is look-
ing wfter the interests of our men in
the bureau of War Risk Insurance.
‘The government does not charge a
higher premium beeause of dangerous
employment, as is customary with
commercial life insurance companies.

man holds, he can be protected under
the terms of government insarance.
A disability clause is contained in
government policies for which there
is no extra charge. If totally and
permanently disabled for any cause,
the insured may get the benefits and
vo longer be required to pay prem-
jums upon his insurance. “The gov-
ernment is in the life insurance busi-
ness only for the benefit and protee-
tion of those who safeguarded the Na-
tion in its greatest crisis,” says Lieut.
J. Williams Clifford, in charge of out
men’s interests in the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance. “The Country's ob-
ligation to its fighting men did not
end with the war, or when the men
left the service. In discharge of an
everlasting obligation Unele Sam is
offering his service men permanent in-
surance protection by extending to
them the privilege of keeping their
Government Insurance. Such an_in-
surance policy is an asset with which
to begin any career”
Every dollar of the insurance car-
vied by our men can be reinstated by
oaying only two months’ premiums.
Only the premiums for the month of
grace following discharge, whes the
insured was fully protected, and for
the month in which the reinstatement
takes place are reauired in order to
again be fully protected. Our boys
should not forget the fact that rein-
statement must be made within 18
months after discharge. | Premiums
should be paid by check, draft or men-
ey-order, payable to the Treasurer of
the United States. and sent to the

American labor unions are in
many cases diseatisiied with the
eight-hour day, and would reduce
the hours of labor to six.
China has no fixed number ot
hours for work, except fn the case
of certain individual factories and
firms, With some of the latter the
iwelye-hour day prevails, while with
a smaller proportion the eight-hour
day has become the custom.
In the shop, however, the hours
are just as long as the proprietor
wants to keep open. The eppren-
tices, youths who in America would
still be in the grammar schools or
the firet year or two in high school,
are the ones Who suffer most from
this, Their work time varies any-
where from twelve to nineteep
hours. Most of the shops keep open
‘at least sixteen hours.
It fs estimated that in shops of
the foreign settlement alone in
Shanghai there are more than
20,000 boy apprentices. Their pay
is ‘small, or nothing at all, though
they do receive rice and’ lodging
where they work.
‘Very few of the boys, aside from
those employed in Christian estab-
lishments, have any chance for
study or play. They are bound out
by their parents or guardians to
the shopkeepers and tradesmen to
learn a trade, In much the same
way that Engiish boys used to be
apprenticed
‘They are almost as completely at
the mer of the man to whom they
are apprenticed as though he had
bought them as slaves, as still hap-
pens in China, and have no redress
from crue} and inhuman treatment
Little so far has been done for
the apprentice boys by the mission
workers in China, because the boys,
having been apprenticed their par-
ents or guardians cannot easily be
released, But much is being done
for the children generally of China
and this will eventually react upon
the apprentice boys and make thet»
situation more tolerable.
