White; Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, Who Investigated the Race Disturbances in Arkansas. New York City, Oct. 20, 1919.—The cause of the disturbances in Arkansas was systematic robbery of Negro tenant farmers and share croppers. For years Negroes have been working the farms of white owners on shacks and when the time came for a settlement owners have refused to give them itemized statements of their accounts. Negro tenant farmers and share croppers must buy their supplies during the year from the plantation store or some designated store. The system kept the Negro continually in debt, and it is an unwritten law in Arkansas as in many parts of the South that the Negro may not leave the plantation until the debt is paid. "The Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America" was formed by Negro share croppers and she dues paid were to go into a common fund to employ a lawyer. The lawyer was to make a test case in court of one tenant farmer's inability to obtain an itemized statement of his account. On October 6 tenant farmers on 21 plantations were to ask the owners for a settlement. It appears that, falling a settlement, the Negroes were going to refuse to pick the cotton then in the field or to sell cotton belonging to them for less than the market price. Trouble, however, was precipitated when u. A. Adkins, a special agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad; Chales Pratt, a deputy sheriff and a Negro "trusty" were fired upon so it is claimed, by Negroes in a church at Hoop Spur. Adkins was killed and Pratt severally wounded. A statement of one of the persons in the church at the time, however, shows that Adkins and Pratt fired into the church without provocation and that their fire was returned with the above-mentioned results. That precipitated the trouble. One case which will show the economic exploitation is that of a Negro on the plantation of R. B. McCombs, a white man in Ashley County, Arkansas. The Negro's crop was worth $3,322.76, the Negro's share being 1,661, 38. McCombs paid the Negro 26 and refused to pay him any more, declaring that the Negro had taken up the balance in goods. The Negro brought suit but failed to obtain a judgment, the jury being white, as is always the case in that part of the country. Another Negro coming from the State Labor Commissioner's office declared that he had worked 27 acres on shares and that the total value of his crop at present prices was $1,506. The owner of the land had taken all of the crop, had refused a settlement and the Negro had walked 122 miles to Little Rock, hoping to get a lawyer, being absolutely penniless. Many similar cases could be cited and it was a determination to protest these conditions that led to the formation of the organization which is claimed by the whites to have "planned a massacre." So far as I was able to discover, after a careful investigation on the ground, there is no basis for belief that a massacre was planned by Negroes and, in point of fact, it was the Negroes who were massacred. Negroes outnumber whites 6 to 1 in Phillips County and if a massacre had been planned the casualty lists would not have been 25 Negroes as against 5 whites. Many white people expressed doubts of the truth of the "massacre" stories sent out. It appears that the purpose of those stories was to choke the robbery of Negroes by white landlords and agents. Prices charged by landlords and plantation stores as compared with those in the open market: Bacon (cheapest grade, known as sour belly). $ .50 lb. $ .20 Mary Jane Molasses... 2.00 gal. 1.10 Compound Lard... $ .56 lb. 1.00 Sack of flour, 24 lb. 2.50 1.25 In one case a Negro was charged $50 for two second-hand plows which cost, when new, $16 each. In another case, a set of rope plow lines which cost 25 cents each were sold for $3.50 to the Negro. In other case a Negro was charged $58 for a tow sack, and 4 bushel of cotton seed, the value of which was In other case a Negro was charged $52.60 express for moving of nine pieces of furniture 100 miles by freight. The actual cost could not have been over $5. There have been numerous lynchings in the past when Negroes have attempted to obtain settlements from landlords and the farmers' organization was a combine for the purpose of protesting against such outrageous conditions as these. OPEN SHOP OR CLOSED SHOP? Keep your eyes on Washington, for ther at this time is being threshed out the paramount question of the hour. It is in fact the most farreaching problem in America since he emancipation. It is not any piece of legislation that is in the way of enactment. Legislation of a kind has been overdone anyhow in state as well as in nation. What is needed in that respect is less law enactment and more law enforcement. There are sufficient laws on our statute books now, if justly and impartially enforced, to secure the rights, safety and well-being of every element composing our government. Neither is it the covenant of the league of Nations; for the League of Nations, conceived in idealism and born of a universal desire for peace degenerated in the making of theovenant into a scramble on the part of each nation involved to serve and secure its own selfish interests; that is, every nation except the United States. A league of nations, founded on just and equitable principles, woul undoubtedly help and safeguard America, and every nation concerned but the makeshift now before the senate is so full of unrighteous arrangements and imposes such peace-destroying obligations that it makes forvar instead of against war. To the United States the league as proposes nothing then, not even the desired security from war, while on the other hand it exacts much from her The United States does not need the league as now constructed, but the league does ned th United States with its wealth and resources. For that reason the fear expressed by some that w will be isolated if we do not accept the covenant as drawn is not well founded; and it will be seen that no matter what changes or reservations the senate makes, the other league members will adjust themselves to them. But, league or no league, the most vital question of all to us and to American, if not to the world, remains to be solved. It is the question out of which grew the great. It is the question that now causes the world-wide unrest. It is the question that must be answered and answered right before there can be any hope of lasting peace. It is the question of industry and commerce, or to bring it closer, of capital and labor. Therefore, I say that the National Industrial Conference now sitting at Washington is wrestling with the most momentous problem before the world today. That conference, composed of three element, -capital, defiant and at bay, organized labor, power-conscious and aggressive, and the public helplessly looking on, not only affords a most dramatic spectacle, but whatever policy if any it adopts to be pursued by and between capital and labor will directly affect every industry and every home in America. At this writing the conference stands deadlocked on the conflicting demands or capital and labor. Even before this comes from the press the conference may have disbanded in hopeless disagreement. And what is the seemingly irreconcilible issue? The issue is clearly drawn. It is the open shop against the closed shop,—the closed shop under the nicer and more fair-sounding name of "collective bargaining." Uages could be written to explain what the open shop is and what collective bargaining means,—but reduced to simplicity, the open shop would permit employer and employee to bargain unhindered with each as individuals as to terms of employment, while the closed shop or collective bargaining would compel employers to deal with their employees to such as unions only. There can really be no question of the right of the open shop. It is the natural method of human dealings that a man ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us! Main 7696. bargain and agree for himself. Collective bargaining as it is being attempted to apply it can lay no claim to right. It is an artificial expediency designed to force men into organization and to force employers to meet its demands, irrespective of right. What the final disposition of this question shall be s of momentous concern to the Colored workman who has until of late been so little regarded in the industrial world. Organized labor has done much for workers and working conditions; but organized labor, tainted with rankest socialism and with its leadership composed of radicals who disregard individual human rights and the principles of equity becomes a menace to all order and would precipitate a condition which would undermine every foundation upon which just human rights depend. Besides, there is the established requirement in causes of equity that "he who seeks equity should do equity." Organized labor does not come before the court of the world with clean hands. Its persistent discrimination in account of color, its ready support so often given to the lawless and to lawlessness to gain its ends, its virtual assumption that might make right, make it apparent that organized labor needs to pause and square itself with the moral conscience of a ast-minded public before it can beusted to establish a rule that would lace every industry in the country under its control. In the meantime whoever stands for the open shop, fights my fight and our fight as founded upon the simple nature of right. THE SEER.

NATIONALISM IS EXALTED The Senator From Ohio Was Chosen by the Leaders to Make the Statesman's Appeal For Changes In the World Covenant and Furnishes the Philosophy of the Present Acute Critic. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—Senate Warren G. Harding made a remarkable address when the League of Nations covenant was reported to the Senate by the foreign relations committee. It was an unanswerable appeal for the preservation of the nationality of the American people. In a safeguarded United States. Senator Harding not only saw the welfare of our own country insured and protected, but the best interests of the world and of humanity guaranteed. The address, which was heard with profound attention by a crowded senate and greeted with sincere applause, began with the thought that all America desired the furtherance of peace and a maintained tranquility for the world. The practical was NOTICE! the use of the Parish House opal Church, will please see . Waller Res., 127 Norwood Ave. how to wisely bring this about. how to wriyely bring tals to war. America came out of the war in a magnificently advantageous position. She had turned the scales and achieved victory. Yet she asked not one jota of the spoils of war. Unfortunately this was not so with other nations. Said Senator Harding: What Europe Asks. Empires and sovereign states, autocratic, imperial, or democratic, had fought and sacrificed and bargained and covenanted—and we had fought with them—and they craved peace and we craved peace. But they wanted animations and extensions and creations, and they wanted this republic, with its resources—its wealth of men and material—to guarantee the changes they had wrought, and wanted the United States' of America in their unselfishness to guarantee in perpetuity the selfishness of the Old World. They had nothing to offer us but the phantasmal thing, taking the elusory shape of the image of peace, a promise deeply appealing to the aspirations of ourselves and the world, for tranquility and the banishment of war. And we bargained for it, and then they fashioned it into a reality, suited to serve Europe and the Orient as the seal of righteousness on all to which the allied powers had agreed. * * * Moral Obligations Sacred. We have heard much lately about "moral" obligations. When a thing is covenanted it is difficult for me to distinguish between moral and legal obligation. For this republic, either or both ought to be solemnly binding. The nation which ignores either is losing the conscience which is essential to self-respect and respect among nations. It was Germany's contempt for a "scrap of paper" that made her an outcast in the eyes of the civilized world. * * * There has been a curious conflict of meaning in the use of the word "moral." When senators, speaking in this chamber in defense of the league covenant found opposition, developing to the powers conveyed in article 10, they hastened to say the council's call to war, armed or economic, in defense of any member was not binding—"only a moral obligation." In the recorded conference between members of the foreign relations committee and the president it was declared by the president that we were not bound to go to war on recommendation of the council, that there was "only a moral obligation," on which we should have to pass judgment for ourselves. Later on, in the record of the meeting, the president emphatically declared a moral obligation the most binding of all. Let every man make the distinction that he prefers. A contract is a contract, a covenant is a covenant, and if this republic does not mean to do as it promises, it has no business to make the promise. Requirements of Article X. There is no language in the covenant more plain than Article 10. Either it means what it says, and obligates the nations to go to war in defense of a member nation, or it means nothing at all. If it leaves any member nation free to exercise its own judgment as to the merits of any attack, it does not guarantee the territorial integrity or peace of any nation. it is worse than phantom; it is the mirage that lures nations thirsting for peace to the very desert of cruel destruction. The pity of it is that no reservation will cure the ill. Without the power which is clearly expressed, "the league is a rope of sand," as the senator from Connecticut described it, and with the power established, as it must be to make the league effective, we have surrendered our own freedom of action to a council whose members will represent the prejudices, ambitions, hatreds and jealousies of the Old World, or to the assembly, where we are ousted 6 to 1 by Great Britain and her colonies, and we still remain a party to the racial, geographical and inherited enemies of Europe and the Orient. Sympathy For Armenia. Does any thinking man stop to measure the colossal and endless involvement before which the sublimest unselfishness and most confident altruism must falter? Contemplate for a moment only the mandatory for Armenia. It is very appealing to portray the woes, the outrages, the masacres, the awakening hopes of Armenia, and visualize the doubts and distresses and sacrificed lives while "the senate waits." I know the appeal that touches the heart of Christian America in its concern and sympathy for Armenia. It easily may be made to seem as if the sympathetic Son of God had turned to the Omnipotent Father to send this twentieth-century defender to the New Testament to succor those stricken believers in the great Trinity. But the big, truth warning is little proclaimed. Our armies—sons of this republic, the youths from American homes—are wanted there. Armenia calls and Great Britain is urging, insisting. A hundred thousand soldiers are needed. More American soldiers for Armenia than we heretofore maintained under the flag in the years of pence. Answer the call and we station this American army at the gateway between Orient and Occident, to become involved in every conflict the Old World, and our splen- did isolation becomes a memory and our boasted peace a mockery. This is not the way to peace. This is the avenue to unending war. Safety Should Begin at Home. Mr. President, I am not insensitive to the sufferings of Armenia, nor am I deaf to the wails forced by the cruelties of barbarity wherever our ideals of civilization are not maintained. But I am thinking of America first. Safety, as well as charity, begins at home. Selfishness? No. It is self-preservation. Measured as our resources are, large as our man power is, and chivalrous as our purpose may be, we are not strong enough to assume sponsorship for all the oppressed of the world. No people, no nation is strong enough for such a supreme responsibility. We have the republic to preserve. And in this very program of meadlesome assumption, in some instances bordering on presumption, we are endangering our own republic. It is not alone the abandonment of security, so much warned against by the founding fathers, which suggests alarm. I am thinking of divided citizenship at home that must attend our attempted reorganization of the world. The Curse of Hyphenism. We are restoring hyphenism under internationalism. One can not complain at the revealment, but I am lamenting the cause. It is all directly traceable to our assumption of world sponsorship. One can little blame the American of Italian origin for being concerned about the affairs of those bound by ties of blood, or find fault with the American of Greek origin for deep feelings about the fate of those of kin in Thrace, or criticise the American son of the old sod who finds in his heart an undying echo of the Irish cry for freedom. Instead of offending the native interest, instead of merging the inherited soul in exclusive Americanism, we have already embarked on a program that awakens every racial pride, every Old World prejudice, every inherited aspiration, and are rending the concord of American spirit which once promised to be the great compensation for all our sacrifices. This is no idle fancy. Justice, only simple justice, and liberty, God's own bequest of liberty, were on every lip, and there was no perfunctory utterance among those who appealed to the senate through our committee. There was deep feeling no words could be beile and that sincerity for which men die, and as I listened I deplored the eloquence of speech unperformed, which leads hope to flame high, then die in disappointment. And, sirs, I doubly deplored the proposals and pretenses that open anew the cleavage in the consecration of our adopted American citizenship. Vigorous Americanism Lacking. Must we have this particular covenant to save us from European broils and old-world conflicts, as the president asserts? In a hundred years of American development and growing influence no war involved us, though 126 wars are recorded in that period. We were not involved in 1898; we went because conscience was impelling. I quite agree that Germany might have preferred to respect our rights than to involve us in the late World war if she had believed we would answer affront with armed defense, but the president was too busy then keeping us out of war to utter a vigorous American warning. Germany held us in a contempt which one militant American voice in authority might have dissolved, but we delayed until 2,000,000 fighting sons of the republic shot Germany to respectful understanding. * * * An Overwhelming Power If this league as negotiated can do all that its proponents have promised, it can tighten its grip on the destiny of nations and make our inspiring nationality only a memory. Extravagant utterance? Well, establish the council without strong reservations protecting our freedom of action, and establish the assembly with its powers unhindered by reservations, and no man can foresee the exercise of authority by the league of great powers, against whom small nations will protest in vain. Suppose it proves all that is claimed in discouraging war, which many honestly doubt. Let me say in passing that an able and experienced officer of the army, stalwart in his Americanism and his love of country, whose devotion has been proven again and again, and who not only fought in the late war but is a student of European affairs, said to me not a month ago: "Senator, as a military man I ought to favor this league because it means war after war and constant activity in the work for which I am trained, But I pray in my American heart you will never commit us to it, because I can see involvements and regrets unending." But suppose it makes for the promised peace, I still prefer, and the great majority of Americans still prefer, to be the keepers of our national conscience and let Europe pass upon its moral obligations while we righteously meet our own. To what conclusion am I leading? Speaking for myself alone, voicing no faction, no group, no party. I do not see how any senator can decide upon his final vote till the disputed amend- ments and proposed reservations shall have the stamp of the decision of a senate majority. I can never vote to ratify without safeguards. I am not yet persuaded to cast a ratifying vote without amendments. I have listened to the committee's earnest discussions. There was no fixed program of action in advance. I have sought to retain a fairly open mind, withholding unalterable utterance in the face of the charge of wabbling indictment. Amendments Should Be Adopted. I mean to vote for the amendments proposed by the committee. They ought to be adopted. If the president is correct in declaring the proposed reservations will send the treaty back, then amendments will not unduly delay. Suppose there is delay? Civilized peoples are not supposed to move unthinkingly in creating the surpassing covenant of all the ages. This is an epoch-making treaty, no matter what its terms prescribe. America need not fear the ill-will of our allied covenanters. Their need for our co-operation is not so critical as when the German armies were battering the western battle fronts, but Europe needs us infinitely more than we need Europe. The aftermath is little less difficult than the problem of war itself. We can carry the banners of America to the new Elysium, even though we have to furl them before we enter. It is well to do any Job right. It is imperative to do a mighty Job right, especially when it involves the fate of all civilization. If the world is to start all over, it ought to start with the square deal. The treaty has not written it; the square deal was reserved for informal promises not uttered in the supreme document. Though we performed a great service in armed battling for preserved civilization, we have yet a greater service to render to the same civilization by making the covenant of peace everlastly righteous. All fair men realize the embarrassment incident to the Shantung award. Perhaps we can not change it. No one believes we mean to go to war to restore to China what Germany looted and Japan traded for. But we need not be a party to an international morality that challenges our utterance about lofty purposes and the reign of justice. I want it recorded, for all the world to read, that America esteems her unarmed friend no less than she respects her armed associate. Delay is Not Dangerous. If reservations are to send the German treaty and league covenant back, we ought to amend fully, we ought to write into the text the things which America is thinking. There has been inclination to yield some points rather than necessitate prolonged delay. We now know there are to be reservations, unmistaken reservations, else there will be no treaty. They must speak in clearest terms. The covenant is unthinkable without them. These reservations must be strong and unmistakable. I could no more support "mild reservations" than I could sanction mild Americanism. These reservations come of a purpose to protect America first, and still save a framework on which to build intelligent co-operation. These reservations come of a desire to offer opportunity for a clearing house for the consciences of peoples. These maintain our own peace, and are willing to encourage Europe's effort toward the great desideratum. But in these reservations there must be no surrender of the basic things on which this nation was builted to the present-day height of world eminence. The Conscience of the Republic. Without the amendments we shall be remiss in uttering the conscience of the republic; without strong reservations we shall be recrant to duty. This is not the universal thought. There is dispute about it being the majority thought of the Americans, but I believe it will the deliberate judgment of oriz m P t. If such a course delays rejection, let reconstruction wait. I ended the long negotiation at Paris, waited amid barter, it can await correction where the blunder was made. You have heard the call of finance, voicing its impatience. Let finance recall that fundamental Americanism transcends its importance for today and the morrow, too. Industry calls for normal conditions of formal peace. Let industry remember that nationalism is its fostering influence, and internationalism means to merge its interests with the industries of the world. Momentous achievements are not wrought in impatience. Danger to Souls, Not Hearts. I do not believe, senators, that it is going "to break the heart of the world" to make this covenant right, or at least free from perils which would endanger our own independence. But it were better to wifness the rhetorical tragedy than destroy the soul of this great republic. It is a very alluring thing. Mr. President, to do what the world has never done before. No republic has permanently survived. They have flashed, illuminated, and advanced the world, and faded or crumbled.

But he, with a chuckle, replied, "Well, maybe it can't but I'll not be one To say so until I have tried." So he buckied right in with a bit of grin On his face; if he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done—and he did it. Somebody scoffed, "You can never do that, At least, no one ever has done it." But he took off his coat and he took off his hat NOW BOYS! YOU'RE ON FOR A And the first thing we knew he'd begun it, With a lift of his chin, he buckled right in, Without any doubting or quit it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That had never been done—and he did it. There are thousands to tell you, "It cannot be done." There are thousands to prophesy failure. There are thousands to paint out, one by one. The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in, with a bit of a grin. Take off your coat and go to it. Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done—and you'll do it. THE SIX BOND ISSUES (From the Dayton Journal) Voters in Dayton are asked to support six proposed municipal bond issues at the election November 4, providing for a total of $3,153,700 in bonds. If the bond issues are authorized, as they should be, they will add one and two-tenths mills to the present tax rate. As this is explained by the City Bond Issue committee, if you have a property which you have returned for taxes in the amount of $1,000, this program will cost you $1.20 a year—less than $2½ cents a week. If you have a property which you return for taxation in the amount of $5,000, this program will cost you 6 a year—less than 12 cents a week. This is a small charge in comparison to the benefits that will accrue. Just what will the residents of Dayton get for this $3,153,700 if they vote in favor of the bond issues? They will get $450,700 worth of paving; $772,800 worth of repaving; $500,000 worth of sanitary sewers; $15,000 worth of sidewalks, curbs and gutters; $643,500 worth of storm-sewers; $23,000 worth of opened and extended streets; $283,000 worth of parks and playgrounds; $202,000 worth of bridges and culverts; $263,700 worth of fire depriment equipment and improvements. These expenditures will embrace benefits in every section of the city. Of the money obtained through the bonds, $464,700 will be spent in the central portion of the city; $546,700 will be spent in Dayton View and Riverdale; $351,400 in North Dayton; $662,100 in the West side and Edgemont; $845,100 in the southern and eastern portions of Dayton.

My commission expires May 10, 1922. MT. OLIVE NOTES Sunday was well enjoyed at Mt. Olive. It was a beautiful day. Sunday school opened at 9:30. The attendance was below the average. Rev. Low, of Columbus, Ohio, preached an excellent sermon at 11:00 a.m. Three came forward for prayer and one candidate for baptism at 3 p.m. We all joined the young people in their B. Y., P. U. convention at Bethel Church. The pastor preached at 8 p.m., and gave us a few facts about our state work. As he had visited both conventions at home and in Cincinnati, the services were spiritual. Sunday we look for a large attendance. Start at 9:30 Sunday School and go all the way with us at 3 p.m. The pastor will speak at Bethel Baptist church. Don't forget the place -Edgemont. Pontiac street. The little church with a big welcome. Pastor, Rev. F. L. Tate. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH The Rev. Dr. Walker, of Cincinnati, preached for us Sunday and delivered a stirring message on practical Christian living. Our church seemed a regular mecca for visitors last Sunday. Missionary and B. Y. P. U. convention visitors and other out-of-town folks were largely in evidence in the Sunday School and in all the day's services. Among them were some of the leading workers in Baptist affairs of the state and the faithful standard-bearers of the cause in their home towns. The strangers are always welcome with us. May they come often. Delegates are back from the conventions and we should be in our places at the coming services to get fully informed of the status of things. The Sunday school rally goes on at a merry and increasing clip. The attendance last Sunday was bigger and beter than ever. Teachers, officers, and pupils seemed to be aroused to the proper pitch and you can depend upon it, we are going to reach our goal. The program for Sunday is, that you come on time, that is at 9:20, and bring some one else with you. E'S FIRST Patients are urged to come with the children. Why not have three hundred Sunday? New songs, new thoughts, live lesons, good fellowship, the joy of service—all will be there. Come and meet them. Sunday Schol 9:20 a.m. Morning service 10:30. B. Y. P.
