REVOLT ON RACE ISSUE. Higher Bruder of Ascertaining That Rape is Greatest Course of Lynching—Upon Afro-Americans to Adopt Mob Method of Running Down Their Own Criminals—Gratuitously Inform Congress That Industrial Education Is Best for the Race—Sovere Sesational Journalism Like That of Atlanta, and Quotes Southern White Men Against Lynching. WASHINGTON, December 4.—President Roosevelt to-day sent his message to the second session of the 50th Congress. About one-tenth of the whole voluminous document is devoted to the race problem, and that portion we reproduce below in full. The majority of the document is lectures Afro-Americans for not helping run down criminals of their own race, and recommends education—industrial education in particular—as the remedy for crime. He again urges that every individual be treated before the law with even-handed justice. His command, "Reward or punish the individual on his merits as an individual," is sure to provoke discussion as to whether the President, in the last week of his presidency, practiced what he preaches. He urges that criminal assault be made a capital offense. Rosevelt on Race Problem. In connection with the delays of the law, I call your attention and the attention of the Nation to the prevalence of crime among us, and above all to the epidemic of lynching and mob violence that springs up, now in one part of our country, now in another. Each section North, South, East or West, has its own faults; no section can with wisdom spend its time jeering at the faults of another section: it should be busy trying to amend its own shortcomings. To deal with the crime of corruption it is necessary to have an awakened public conscience, and to supplement this by whatever legislation will add speed and certainty in the execution of the law. When we deal with lynching even more is necessary. A great many white men are lynched, but the crime is peculiarly frequent respect to black men. The greatest attack on lynching is the lynching, especially by black men; of the hideous crime of rape—the most abominable in all the category of crimes, even worse than murder. Mobs frequently avenge the commission of this crime by themselves torturing to death the man committing it; thus avenging in bestial fashion a bestial dead, and reducing themselves to a level with the criminal. Lynching the Innocent. Lawlessness grows by what it feeds upon; and when mobs begin to lynch for rape they speedily extend the sphere of their operations and lynch, for many other kinds of crime, so that two-thirds of the lynchings are not for rape at all; while a considerable proportion of the individuals lynched are innocent of all crime. Gov. Candler of Georgia stated on one occasion some years ago: "I can say of a verity that I have, within the last month, saved the lives of half a dozen innocent Negroes who were pulled in the course of their acquittal, and they were acquitted." As Bishop Galloway of Mississippi has finally said: "When the rule of a mob obtains, that which distinguishes a high civilization is surrendered: The mob which lynches a Negro charged with rape will in a little white lynch a white man suspected of a crime. Every Christian patriot in America needs to lift up his voice in loud and eternal protest against the mob spirit that is threatening the integrity of this repugnance. Gov. Jekla of Alabama, has repeatedly spared people for whatever crime, is inexcusable anywhere—it is a defiance of orderly government; but the killing of innocent people under any provocation is infinitely more horrible; and yet innocent people are likely to die when a mob's terrible hustle is once aroused. The lesson is this: No good citizen can afford to countenance a defiance of the statutes, no matter what the provocation. The innocent factor suffer, and, it is my observation, more usually suffer than the guilty. The people of the South, the whole crowd on the ground that even the better elements lend no assistance whatever in ferreting out criminals of their own color. The respectable colored people must learn not to harbor their criminals, but to assist the officers in bringing them to justice. This is the larger crime, and it provokes such atrocious offences as the one at Atlanta. The two races can never get on until there is an understanding on the part of both to make common cause with the law-binding against criminals of any color." The Square Deal. Moreover, where any crime committed by a member of one race against a member of another race is avenged in such fashion that it seems as if not the individual criminal, but the whole race, is attacked, the result is to exasperate to the highest degree race feeling. There is but one safe rule in dealing with black men as with white men; it is the same rule that must be applied in dealing with rich and poor men; that is to treat each man with respect to his social, position, with even-handed justice on his real worth as a man. White people owe it quite as much to themselves as to the colored race to treat well the colored man who shows by his life that he deserves such treatment; for it is surely the highest wisdom to encourage in the colored race all those individuals who are honest, industrious, law-abiding, and who, therefore, make good and safe neighbors and citizens. Reward or punish the individual on his merits as an individual. Evil will surely come in the end to both races is we substitute for this just rule the race of good and bad, alike. There is no question of "social equality" or "Negro domination" involved; only the question of relentlessly punishing bad men, and of securing to the good man the right to his life, his liberty, and the pursuit of his happiness as his own qualities of heart, head and hand enable him to achieve it. Race Should Hunt Down Its Own Criminals. Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the Negro criminal, and above all the Negro criminal who commit the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offence against the whole country, and against the colored race in particular, for a colored man to fail to help the offender, to commit an offence in the position of carmineer and sedet every such infamous offender. Moreover, in my judgment, the crime of rape should always be punished with death, as in the case with LEAVES FROM HISTORY. murder; areault with intent to commit rape should be made a capital crime, at least in the discretion of the court; and provision should be made by which the punishment may follow immediately upon the heels of the offence; while the trial should be so conducted that the victim need not be wantonly shamed while giving testimony, and that the least possible publicity shall be given to the details. The members of the whites race, on the other hand, should understand that every lynching represents by just so much a loosening of the bands of civilization; that the spirit of lynching inevitably throws into prominence in the community all the foul and evil creatures who dwell therein. No man can take part in the torture of a human being without having his own moral nature permanently lowered. Every lynching means just so much moral deterioration the children who have any knowledge of it and therefore just so much additional trouble for the next generation of Americans. Let justice be both sure and swift; but let it be justice under the law, and not the wild and crooked savagery of a mob. Education the solution There is another matter which has a direct bearing upon this matter of lynchings and of the brutal crime which sometimes calls it forth and at other times merely furnishes the excuse for its existence. It is out of the question for our people as a whole permanently to rise by treading on any of their own number. Even those who themselves for the anointment profit by their unm treatment of their fellows will in the future also suffer. No more short-sighted policy can be imagined than, in the fancied interest, to prevent the education of another class. The free public school, the chance for each boy or girl to get a good elementary education, lies at the foundation of our whole political situation. In every community the poorest citizens, those who need the schools most, would be deprived of them if they only received school facility proportioned to the taxes they paid. This is true of one portion of our country as is true for the Negro as for the white man. The white man, if he is wise, will decline to allow the Negroes in a mass to live manhood and womanhood without education. Unquestionably education such as is obtained in our public schools does not do everything toward making a man do everything; but it does much. The lowest and most brutal criminals, those for instance, who commit the crime of rape, are in the great majority men who live in the great majority men who are property; for the man who puts money into out of his earnings, like the man who is out of his earnings, is usually lifted above mere brutality. Of course, the best type of education is the colored man, taken as a whole, is such education as is conferred in schools like Hampton and Tunkegee; where the boys and girls, the young men and young women, are trained industrially, as well as in the ordinary public branches. The graduates of these schools turn out well in the great majority of schools and hardly any of them become criminals, so little the form of that brutal violence which invites them. Every graduate of these schools—and for the matter of that, every other colored man or woman, who leads a life so useful and honorable as to win the good will and respect of these white whose neighbor he or she is, thereby helps the whole colored race; as it can be helped in no other way: for next to the Negro himself, the man who can do most to help the man is his white neighbor who lives near him and our steady effort should be to better the between the two. Great though the benefit, these schools has been to their colored man and to the colored people, it may well be doubted whether the benefit has not been at least as great to the white people among whom these colored pupils live after they graduate. Incendiarly Journalism and Oratory Denounced Do it remembered, furthermore, that the individuals who, whether from folly, from evil temper, from greed for office, or in a spirit of more base demagogy, indulge in the inflammatory and incessant speeches and writings which lead to abuse mobs and to bring about lynching, not only thus excite the mob, but also tend by what criminalogiatis call "aggression," greatly to increase the likelihood of a repetition of the very crime against which they are inweighing. When the mob is composed of the people of one race and the man lynched is of another race, the men who in their speeches and writings either excite or justify the action tend, of course, to excite a bitter race feeling and to cause the people of the opposite side to sight of the abominable act of the criminal action, by the prominence they give to the hidedey they undoubtedly tend to excite in other brutal and depraved natures thoughts of committing it. Swift, relentless, and orderly punishment under the only way by which criminality of this type can permanently be suppressed. ATLANTA RIOTER FREED. Wituem Swore He Shot at Afro-American Three Times. ATLANTA, November 30.—S. E. Fain, charged with assault with intent to murder an Afro-American named Jasper Alford, on the night of September 23, during the race riot, was acquitted in Judge Roan's court yesterday. Judge Ben Hill was counsel for the defense and Solicitor General Charles P. Hill represented the State. When Alford went on the stand he stated that he had no knowledge as to who wounded him, and witnesses for the defense sware that the defendant was talking to them in a group near the Marion hatch in the shooting occurred. The testimony of A. C. Stripes, a drugist, was to the effect that the saw Fain shove the Afro-American and that Fain shot at him three times when he placed his hand in his hip pocket. The jury rendered a verdict in a comparatively short time and Fain was set free yesterday afternoon. MONUMENT TO SHOEMAKER Southern White Honor Black Fellow- Church Member. SPMERMILLE, Ga. November 27.—The funeral of Uncle Smith Knox, an old and highly respected Afro-American of this place, took place yesterday. In many respects it was a very remarkable funeral. It was held in the white Presbyterian church of which he had been a member for a long time, and of which he had been sexton for forty years, missing only three services during that time. The services were conducted by Rev. R. S. Burwell, his pastor. In addition to the usual services, J. A. Branner told of some of the virtues of the deceased. The congregation, which was composed about equally of whites and blacks, was highly affected by the touching services. It is no wonder to say that no man in the community was ever universally missed than Uncle Smith's life was a blessing to the entire community. He was a shoemaker by trade, but his shop was probably more often visited by those in search of spiritual comfort than for business. Whites and Afro-Americans alike loved and honored him. The floral tributes were beautiful and attracted the high esteem in which he was held. The white people of the community have already raised a sufficient sum with which to erect a handsome monument as a memorial to him. CHRISTIANS IN A RAGE. Because Next House to Pandora's War Rented to Afro-American. ATLANTA, December 1.—At a meeting of members of the Temple Baptist church resolutions were passed consuring W. E. Wimpy, the owner of 120 Mangum street, for renting his property to an Afro-American, Cassie Stephens. The house referred to is next door to the home of Dr. A. C. Ward, pastor of the above-mentioned church. Mrs. Stephens moved yesterday from the house, partly through an appeal made by the mayor to Rev. H. H. Director, Rev. E. R. Carter and H. A. Reporter, prominent Afro-Americans, Mayor Woodward also addressed a letter to the owner, W. E. Wimpy. The resolutions passed by the Temple Baptist church follow: "Whereas, W. E. Wimpy has seen fit to rent his house, located at 120 Mangum street, next door to our Dr. A. C. Ward, second door to our church, and among of its members, to a Negro per son as a boarding house, without a good reason. "Resolved, That the members of the Temple Baptist church in conference November 28, 1900, confirm his improper, unnecessary, exceedingly dangerous, jeopardizing to the peace of this community and a flagrant insult to its white people." CHICAGO FIERCELY EXCITED THE "THREE GRIEVANCES" OCCUPY ALL MINDS. Barnett's Defeat, Discharge of Soldiers and Visitation of Tillman Have Put Afro-American Bonds Themself—Mayer Dunnen Hero of the House, Mrs. Armour and Mrs. McCormick Crease Contributions to Hospital for Which Tillman Speaks. CHICAGO, December 1.—The Afro-American people of Chicago are still in a state of intense agitation. The defeat of F. L. Barnett, the solitary Republican deputy in the recent landslide triumph of the Republican ticket, President Roosevelt's action in the charging, without honor, a battalion of the 25th Infantry, and the visitation of United States Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina are the excitants. The present mental condition of Afro-American in Chicago cannot well be described. What are known as the three grievances mentioned seem to absorb the minds and hearts of the entire Afro-American population of 45,000 people. No other topic is discussed. On the street corners, in the stores, churches, lodges, homes and in the homes men, women and children keep themselves in a state of continuous excitement. Your correspondent has already furnished the readers of THE IAGE with extended accounts of the circumstances attendant to the campaign and defeat of F. L. Barnett for campaign and the bench of the new Municipal Courts, charged by some people that the determination to defeat Barnett did not stop at the ballot box but continued in the counting of the votes. This is a rather serious and an indication of it is here made not as a statement of fact, but to indicate one of the reasons given for his defeat. In reference to the ill-starred battalion of the 25th Regiment, the excitement is a little more intense. Already there have been two largely attended mass meetings held for the purpose of giving vem to the people's pent-up indignation. The first meeting was held under the auspices of an organization led up of Afro-American ministers of all denominations. This meeting was presided over by Bishop Shaffer. Addresses were made by some of the leading ministers and lawyers of the city. The audience was made up largely by the best people of the city. The addresses were in the main temperate and were in the nature of a beseechment to the President to reconsider his extraordinary action. The second meeting was held on Sunday evening at Bethel A. M. E. church, over which Dr. A. J. Carey presided. It may seem a little sacrilegious to all Sunday evening service an indignation meeting, yet the character of the sermon delivered by Dr. Carey, the high tension of excitement visible in his audience, the frequent applause and the explosiveness of the "Amena" lent to the occasion more so the appellation of an indignation meeting than Sunday evening religious service. It is imposed on any audience of ordinary mortals to sit in under the spell of Dr. Carey's burning enmense when he becomes thoroughly aroused, as he apparently was last Sunday evening. If announcement were made that the 14th and 15th Amendments were to be repealed, the people could not be more deeply hurt and disheartened than they are at the present time. It is useless to appeal to the President's past record of rightful purposes and alms, and his heroic stand against "square deal" in the Crum case and Indian case and other evidences of his free speech and other prejudice. Some people seem inclined to sum up his entire character and career by this one act. The third cause for agitation is the visit of Tillman. Perhaps it will be recalled by the readers of THE AGE that when it was announced last summer that the South Carolina Senator was engaged to deliver a lecture in this city for the benefit of what is known as the Union Hospital, your correspondent called attention to the matter in a letter of protest addressed to The Chicago Daily News, which was reprinted in THE AGE. As a result of this protest the title of the proposed lecture was changed from "The Race Question" to "The Annexation of Cuba," as a compromise from the first promise to cancel the engagement alto- rether. As the time approached for the lecture the question was taken up by others. A committee headed by the editor of The Brood As waited upon Mayor Dunne and urged him to prevent Senator Tillman from speaking in Chicago giving substantially the same reasons effectively employed by the Afro-American people of Philadelphia for the suppression of "The Chanman." When Tillman passed through Chicago last week he became very indignant when told that his presence on the lecture platform was being opposed by Afro-Americana. He gave it out that he "was not afraid of any Negro that lived." The Afro-American people of this city already being in a state of mental excitement, took up the challenge. Again the Mayor was waited upon by a protecting committee. In the meantime, the Mayor had read clippings from the Senator's address to him to be an advocate of mob law and leisure. The Mayor told the committee that he had decided not to preside at the Tillman meeting to introduce the speaker, or even indicate a approval of his works by his presence. His reasons for his decision are tertely set forth in the following letter addressed to Mrs. Keeler, one of the trustees of the hospital: My Dear Madam: Since my last interview with you it has been brought to my attention by the stenographer who took the notice that Senator Tillman, in one of his recent statements, believed in shogun practice and reassurance in maintaining white supremacy. He is also quoted in three of the Chicago papers with his forty-eight hours as declaring that the shogun had a mob to lunch a man who assaulted a woman. He is also quoted as saying that "lunch law is all we have left." These extraordinary utterances of Senator Tillman must remind my promise made to you some nightly preside at his lecture to morrow nightly presence under the circumstances, and the further circumstance that the Senator has the intention to accustom his slews at this lecture to this subject, might be construed by the public as my being in sympathy with such idea. I am not in sympathy personally or officially with mob law, lynch law or assassination. Hon. J. Hamilton Lewish, who was expected to take the place of the refusing Mayor, also declined. Mayor Dunne informed the committee that his wife would also decline to act as one of the patronesses at the lecture, and her example has been followed by the withdrawal of several other Indies, among them Mrs. Arrow and Mrs. McCormick. I am reliably informed the wealthy woman who has been one of the subscribers to the institution has withdrawn her aid on account of Senator Tillman's blasphemous assaults on Afro-American men and women. It scarcely need be added that Mayor Dunne, though a lifelong Democrat, is today the hero of the hour among the Afro-American people of Chicago. If he were up for election to morrow the Afro-American who would dare to cast a vote against would probably be tarred and feathered. Of course the Mayor is accused of playing prejudice game, but those who know him best say he is a man free from race prejudices and is capable of giving a man a "square deal" without regard to the color of his face. That a man like Tillman incites a criminal纵欲 among the people he has already been demonstrated in this city. An Afro-American named Fleming was arrested the other day by a white man who hosted "that Ben Tillman would attend" him next Tuesday. As a result that one white man is near death in the hospital and another is severely wounded. An Afro-American woman became deprived over Tillman episode and has been arrested and put in jail. What can be said of a man whose presence in a community breeds conditions like the man who preaches violence need not be surprised if he becomes the victim of his own preaching. The Afro-American people of this city are to be congratulated that this protest has made a profound impression. They have had the effect of making the South Carolina Senator hated where he was once at least respected. His insane hatred of people of dark skins is having the wholesome effect of discrediting him as a leader of men. It has just been reported that the committee of Afro-Americans, who carried on this fight against Tillman's lecture made a bona fide offer of $5,000 for the benefit of the hospital if it would cancel the engagement with Tillman. The offer was declined, but the hospital commission was disconcerted and dismayed by this manifestation of caricatures by Afro-Americans. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. WASHINGTON, December 3.—The sanction of the opening of both houses for the second and last session of the Fifty-ninth Congress to-day was the introduction of two resolutions of industry into the discharge without honor by President Roosevelt of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. The Senate The Senate session was just nine minutes old when Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, astonished the entire assembly and the packed galleries by putting in a resolution calling on the President for full information about the discharge of the soldiers. When Mr. Penrose Then Mr. Penrose said he had a resolution for which he would like to mediate, consider it, Vice-president Fairbairn, after hesitation second, remarked, "The usual rule." it is not to consider resolutions or miscellaneous business until after the message of the President is received." "Then," rekined N. "Then," rejoined Mr. Penrose, "I shall ask unanimous consent to have the resolution read." This was granted. It follows. resolved. That the President is requested to communicate to the Senate. If not incompatible with the public interests, full information bearing upon the recent order dismissing from the military service of the United States three companies of the Twentieth Regiment of Infantry, the United States troops, colored. Senator Foraker jumped to his feet before the reading was ended. He offered an as substitute a resolution calling on the Secretary of War to discharge the Senate, the documents, copies of letters and telegrams relating to the discharge of these companies; explanations of the department; summings as to the effect of these discharge upon the rights of the men to be retired at three-quarters pay; the rights to travel pay to their homes, their title to burial in National cemeteries and to places in soldiers' homes; demanding a list of the men discharged, with statement of the amounts pay due them and the effect of their discharge on their right to collect it; also a full official history of the regiment from its muster into service to the discharge of the men. these three companies. Senator Foraker's was the more complete and effective constitution. The Senate cannot command the President; he is a co-ordinate department of government. It can command the Secretary of War. Therefore the Foraker resolution is the one most likely to elicit the information, and the most likely to pass. Administration critics—and on this question they are numerous in both parties—are determined to pass the resolution—and go to the bottom of the Brownville fair. Senator Foraker is locked for a speech, and Senator Tillman will declared to-day that "no man should be convicted without trial, whatever his color," may man a speech. Senator Foraker's resolution follows: Resolved by the senate. That the Secretary of War be and hereby directed to unchain the Senate code, all official documents, reports, orders, in the War Department in connection with the recent discharged of the enlisted men of Companies B, C and twenty-fifth United States Infantry, together with complete list of men discharged, the record of men, the amount of retained under section 1258, to be received. Revised Statutes, if any, to his right of each man, at the time of his discharge, the ruling of the War Department. If any man been made to the effect upon his right to such retained pay, and also of any other similar case, as to the effect of such discharged, as to the effect of such discharged to retire the right of an enlisted man to retire three quarters pay, with an allowance for subdivision and cloth, under section 1258, et seq., of the National Statutes, and his right to enter National Statutes, and some under section 4821, et seq., of the National Statutes): his right to be nursed in a National cemetery; revised section 4875, et seq., to receive transportation and his independence from place of discharge to his independence from place of section 1258, et seq., of a provided for section 1258, et seq., of a complete official record of the Tanker and Regiment, United States Infantry, from the time of his muster in to the date of the discharge of Companies B, C and D. It is promised that Congressman William S. Bennett of New York will introduce a similar bill in the House. MAJOR PENROSE MISQUOTED. Stewart Saya Additions Were Made to Statement He Gave Out. WASHINGTON, November 29—Major Charles W. Penrose, commander of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry which has just been discharged, has denied under threats of being courtmartialed, the accusations of being interview printed in many papers in print he was reported to have said to Mr. Gilco that Stewart that there was no evidence on him to discharge the soldiers. Mr. Stewart also denies that Major Penrose made any mention to him or that he gave out any such report to the papers. All that Major Penrose did say, according to Mr. Stewart, there goes the best disciplined, best trained and best regulated battalion in the United States army", and that he authorized Mr. Stewart to use this ecology for publication. Penrose will not be courtmartialed. BROOKS SCORES ROOSEVELT Energetically Annalia Him for Dis- charge of Soldiers. Members of the Mount Olivet Baptist St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal, St. James's Presbyterian, and Abyssinian Baptist churches held services Thanksgiving day in the Mount Olivet church for the soldiers in the Twenty-fifth regiment, dismissed without honour from the service by President Roosevelt. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks of St. Mark's church preached a sermon, in which he declared that the President was a "political trickster" and a "sworn-writer" and asked, "Has the world's peacemaker tired of his job?" Then hundreds of men and women marched past the plaza and deposited bills and coins on the discharged soldiers. In his coronation Dr. Brooks said: "It has been the prentices contention of the South that the shiftless and ignorant Negro was the one she despaired but the real South appeared in her true colors when she took nails to run down, humiliate, and entrage the most intelligent, thrifty, and apt people of nad Niagicoae of the cs ee ates eee ot Me eataet, and order 2 es hevele, a a men os ever idee oe a aeld of aarite, or See ee iths_quame of er tramged te tropic ten « marcel = youre farce oer roneett ome 3 meen ) Sy eee os opareaivre cxowgh to emmend at the Manes: const of orth anal bofere the, ter, of, hearse Min ‘oe the ‘Tair Y pay fair, bie ot the Weer of ity’ mot abut it and bolt it forever fm the face of black veter- ans. - .

Johnson went to the Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus, which was denied, * From that decivion he appented to the Supreme Const. ‘The court determined: to hear the cage, and ixaued its. xtay, but that night, within a few houre after its order had been received by Sheriff Shipp, Johnson was taken from the jail and Isnched. ‘The defendapts claim that the Cirenit Court had no jurisdiction of the original cise and that therefore the Supreme Court has ne jurixdiction now.

Published by Fortune & Peterson, at 4 Cedar Street, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The President's Amazing Message. President Roosevelt's annual message to Congress is an amazing document as to the length of it, as to the number of subjects discussed, as to the number of questions proposed as the basis of legislation which have not heretofore been regarded as within the scope of Federal legislation, as to assumption of facts which statistics prove to be falsehoods, as to proposals for the reversal of maxims based in our law and precedent which would upset our entire body of criminal procedure and lead straight to the acceptance of mob courts as the proper tribunals for the adjudication of criminal causes. The Afro-American people will read with profound astonishment President Roosevelt's statement of their case in equity, as follows: 1. When we deal with lynching even more is necessary. A great many white men are lynched, but the crime is possibly frequent in respect to black men. The greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape—the most abominable in all the category of crimes, even worse than murder. Mobs frequently average the commission of this crime by themselves torturing to death the man committing it; thus avenging in brutal fashion a hostile deed, and reducing themselves to a level with the criminal. 2. Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the Negro criminal, and, above all, the Negro criminal who commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offense against the whole country, and against the colored race in particular, for a colored man to help to help the officers of the law in hunting down with all possible circumstances and neal every such infamous offender. 3. Of course, the best type of education for the colored man, taken as a whole, in such education as is conferred in schools like Hampton and Tinkerger; where the boys and girls, the young men and young women, are trained industrially, as well as in the ordinary public school branches. The graduation of these schools turn out well in the great majority of cases, and hardly any of them become criminals, while what little criminality there is never takes the form of that brutal violence which invites lynch law. Shade of Solon. Where are we at? Shade of Solon: Where are we at? 1. Covering a period of twenty-one years, from 1882 to 1903, Prof. William H. Glasson, in The South Atlantic Quarterly for October last, gives the total number of lynchings in the United States, and says: It will be observed that rape is responsible for but slightly more than one-third of the lynchings of Negroes. Murder is the most important cause of lynching with both whites and Negroes. With Negroes rape is second and nearly equal to murder. With whites rape is in third place. The President eres, then, when he declares that "the greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape." Prof. Glasson proves by statistics that this is not true of either black or white men, but that murder is "the greatest existing cause of lynching." 2. Every Afro-American does recognize that the black criminal is the worst enemy of his race; every white man recognizes the same thing with regard to his race. If there were no criminals of either race we should have a paradisiical condition of society in which we would not need to seek diligently to lay up our treasures in safety vaults where thieves can, neither break through nor steal, nor pay enormous taxes to maintain a police system to protect our life and property from criminals. By the same token, the assumption of Governor Jelks of Alabama, quoted by the President and enlarged upon in his own way, that "the respectable colored people must learn not to harbor their criminals, but to assist the officers in bringing them to justice," is a gratuitous insult based on assumption or gross ignorance. Respectable "colored people" know nothing of the criminals of their race, and do not, therefore, "harbor" them any more than white people do; and it is none of their business to hunt down their criminals and turn them over to the officers of the law or to mobs, any more than it is that of white men, or than should be or is expected of white men; they will leave that matter to the officers of the law, as they should, who are paid to do it out of the common taxation; and if the white people of the South would attend to their business and let the officers of the law attend to theirs there would be less crime in the South and vastly more law and order and good feeling between the races. 3. And why should the President define in a message to Congress "the best type of education for the colored man"? What has Congress got to do with the question of education of white or black or yellow children? Has it not determined that that is a matter for the States to control, as to the system, and for the individual to decide, as to "the type of education"? It certainly took that position in its final action on the Blair Educational bill. Congress has nothing whatever to do with the question of education, except at the naval and military and the Indian schools and the schools' maintained in the territories. We do not in the least understand President Roosevelt's reversal of himself THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1944. and education of the Southern white more viewpoint and attitude on the entire question of the African-American people. They is curiously spending about and acting toward them at this time as if he regarded them to words of the Nation, like the Indians, instead of free men who understand their coequal rights of citizenship under the Constitution, and exercise them to the full, and will do it more wisely in the future than in the past, in all of the States outside of the Southern States, where an oligarchical and not a republican form of government," based on mob law, obtains. senator Tillman in Chicago. Senator Benjamin Ryan Tilman, the unmanned damagee who represents South Carolina in the Federal Senate, made his bow in Chicago last week and covered himself with disgrace by the vulgar, brutal and lying character of his address. He was hysterical throughout, showing that he had been hit hard by the protests of the Afro-Americans of that city against his speaking there. He lost his temper. He beat the air. He cursed Mayor Dunne for refusing to preside at his meeting, and everybody else who protested against him and his vile methods. He made a disgraceful exhibition of himself and trailed in the mire the dignity of the Federal Senate, as far as it is possible for such a man to do it. And he was not shot, or mobbed, or otherwise molested, although a lot of Afro-Americans were scattered throughout the audience and laughed at the antics and intemperate utterances of the catalinian black-guard. We are glad that he was not shot or mobbed. If he is allowed plenty of rope he will hang himself in time in the estimation of the public. The New York Sun directs attention to the fact which The Age has frequently stated, that Senator Tillman is not in demand in the large cities of the South for the sort of message he has to deliver, but that it is the large cities of the North and West that want to hear him and pay large sums for the opportunity to do so. Why is this true? Why do Northern and Western communities insist upon having Senator Tillman speak to them when he has nothing to say that is helpful to them or to the Republic, but which invariably stirs up strife and corrupts the morality and intellectuality of the people who hear him? Why not leave Senator Tillman alone to scatter his putrescence from his seat in the Federal Senate, where he is in such low repute that decent Senators refuse to stoop to his level and answer his vulgar tirades? But Senator Tillman should understand that he has gone far enough, that he has aroused an antagonism which it is wiser to allay than to aggravate, and that having made so many exhibitions of himself he can afford to be good a little bit. It is very discouraging to find The New Orleans Times-Democrat taking sides with Senator Tillman, finding that his bluff and bluster "attitude is gratifying." "He declines to be bulldozed," it says. Very well. We shall see. The man who goes around with a chip on his shoulder a long time enough will have it knocked off. Dr. Washington's Attitude on Education and Politics. Like all other men who have secured a place in the estimation of mankind by right living and high thinking, Dr. Booker T. Washington is often misrepresented, sometimes inadvertently, by persons who are really his friends and who wish him and his work well. The Washington Evening Star, an able and a generous newspaper in all matters affecting the Afro-American people, is such a friend. We believe that it admires Dr. Washington as a strong and helpful character in the life of the American people—one who has accomplished something that is good and abiding in their thought and effort for better and higher things. Commenting upon the baseless and senseless deliverance of Senator Tillman that "The younger element of Negroes are being taught that they are equal to the white man and have equal rights, and are at this time endeavoring to get these rights, led by Booker T. Washington, a half brood, who is seeking a political position." The Evening Star says: This is not the fact. Booker Washington has for years been endeavoring to persuade his people to abstain from politics. He has been teaching them self-improvement in the industries and trades, and his speeches and writings are filled with the doctrine of political self-affection for the present in order that the vital work of maintenance and advancement may be well done. For this doctrine he has been sayingly attacked by some of his own race, by Dullboks of Atlanta. These two men stand at the head, respectively, of the schools of industrial and academic education for the Negro. Washington would make his people self-supporting and self-respecting and law-abiding through honest talk. Dullboks and his like would have them strive at once for the higher realms, for intellectual equality with the whites and for all the results of mental development on a high plane. Now, this statement is misleading in the extreme, both as to Dr. Washington's attitude on the education and the politics good for his race. As to the question of education, let us see how he has defined his attitude. In "The Future of the American Negro" (p. 80), published in 1890, he says: "I would say to the black boy what I would say to the white boy, get all of the mental development that your time and pocketbook will allow, of the more the better; but the time has come when a larger proportion not all, for we need professional men and women of the educated colored men and women should give themselves to industrial or business life. The professional class will be helped in so far as the rank and file have an industrial foundation, so that they can for professional services." Again (P. 81): "I would not have the standard of mental development lowered one whit." In The North American Review for August, 1900 (p. 221), Dr. Washington says: "When I speak of education as a solution of the race problem, I do not mean education in the news now, but education which began in the late 19th and includes training in industry and in habits of thrift, as well as mental, moral and religious discipline, and the broader education which comes from contact with the public settlement of the community in which one lives." In "The Negro Problem" (pp. 16-17), published in 1908, Dr. Washington says: "In what I may here I would not by any means have it understood that I would limit or circumvent the mental development of the Negro student. No robe can be lifted up until its mind is awakened and strengthened. By the side of industrial training should always go mental and moral training, but the pushing of more abstract knowledge into the head means little. We want more than the more performance of mental gymnastics. Our knowledge must be harnessed to the things of real life. I would encourage the Negro to secure all the mental strength, all the mental culture—whether gleaned from science, mathematics, history, language or literature—that his circumstances will allow." The opinion in some quarters that Dr. Washington is wedded to industrial education to the exclusion of higher education does him a great injustice, as the quotations from his writings we have made will show. The fact is that Dr. Washington believes in a rounded education for the Afro-American people, the more education the better, but that as to the great mass of the people they should be grounded in the knowledge of the trades and of agricultural science, just as are the masses of the white people, it being a fair estimate that seventy-five per cent of the whole working force of the American people are employed in what are styled gainful instead of parasitical employments. As to his position on politics, and that he would have the Afro-American people maintain, Dr. Washington has defined it with great explicitness in the following paragraph from "The Future of the American Negro" (pp. 141-2): "As to my own position, I do not favor the Negro's giving up anything which is fundamental and which has been guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States. It is not best for him to relinquish any of his rights; nor would his doing so be best for the Southern white man. Every law placed in the Constitution of the United States was placed there to encourage and stimulate the highest citizenship. If the Negro is not stimulated and encouraged by Just State and National laws to become the highest type of citizenship, the result will be worse for the Southern white man than for the Negro." We know of no utterance of Dr. Washington which would any way modify this position of his, which covers the whole political matter. He believes that the Afro-American people are entitled to every right conferred upon them by the Federal Constitution, and that they should strive without ceasing to be able to enjoy these rights by the development of high, manly character, by obtaining a rounded education, and by securing and holding on to as much of the wealth of this world as possible. Berea College's "Jim Crow" Annex Berea College is making an appeal for $500,000 with which to operate a separate and distinct college, a sort of "Jim Crow" annex, for Afro-Americans. It should not get a cent. President Frost has yet to free himself from the suspicion that he fathered the class legislation separating the races in Berea College passed by the Kentucky Legislature. The Afro-Americans of Kentucky should keep in mind the fact that the trustees of Berea College have in their possession valuable property in buildings, grounds and endowment fund, a portion of which, at least, belongs to them by bequest of the donors, and that they should not sit idly and see their property used wholly for the benefit of white pupils. At least half of the property of Berea College belongs to the Afro-American people, and they should contend for their rights. And why should the Afro-Americans of Kentucky attend Berea College when they have plenty of colleges of their own in the State? They certainly should not allow the owners of their own property to "Jim Crow" them. What Is the Matter with the General Education Board? The General Education Board was organized in New York in 1892. The idea was originated by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and he and Mr. Robert C. Oden and the late lamented William H. Baldwin got it into working shape. Dr. Wallace Buttrick was made the managing secretary and therefore the directing influence of the Board. Mr. John D. Rockefeller gave the Board $10,000,000 as a nest egg, and there have been other large gifts. The object of the Board is to help gedy colleges. There are no Afro-Americans on the Board, the insulting assumption in the Board, as in all of the Boards disbursing the Peabody, the "John F. Slater, the David Hand, the American Missionary and like funds to promote education, more or less among Afro-Americans, being that the Afro-Americans is a good subject for clarity, but is no good as an advisor or co-qualifier in disbursing the money given for his education. This view of the matter is becoming very general. It is also very galling to self-respecting Afro-Americans, and is growing more so every year, to be barred out of all of the advisory boards which have the disbursement of the vast sums of money which are or have been given as a fund for their benefit. It is the sort of charity which educates the head but crushes the self-respect of the beneficiary, and we think that it is high time to call for a reversal of the policy. The trustees of the General Education Board met in New York last week and allotted $255,000 to five colleges, the names of which were not given. It was also announced that in the past six months sixteen colleges had been given an aggregate of $677,000. In the list of colleges we do not find an Afro-American one, although most of the college benefited are Southern colleges. President Harry Pratt Jodson of Chicago University, President THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE. POLITICAL WARS CROW METRO RACE Suffron. Edwin A. Alderman of the University of Virginia, and Dr. H. B. Frisell of the Hampton Institute were chosen to fill vacancies in the Board. One of the new trustees chosen should have been an Afro-American, and a part of the $077,000 should have been given to struggling Afro-American colleges. For thirty years the moneyys, vast in volume, contributed wholly or in part for Afro-American education, have been administered exclusively by white men, and in the schools maintained by them none but white administrators and instructors, for the most part, have been employee. In none of the offices of these boards are employed any Afro-Americans, except as messengers, with exceptions so rare as to be noticeable. Why is this? If there were no Afro-American educators of National and even international reputation, if these schools organized and conducted for the education of Afro-Americans in the past thirty years had not graduated thousands of men and women capable of doing a part of the administrative, clerical, and instructor work required by these boards, it would be an entirely different proposition. We think that it would be a matter of pride for these boards to give such opportunities to the graduates of their schools, but it is not. Why not? In this matter they classify the Afro-American on a par, if not below, the Indian. It is high time that the policy was changed. The War Amendments Will Not Be Repealed. There has been a lot of clamor of late on the part of certain alleged Southern statesmen for the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution, although these postiferous people know very well that no such repeal will ever take place. As the saying is in fistiana, they are simply sparring for time or an opening, deceiving the great American public as far as they are able to do it, in their brazen effort to rob the Afro-American people of their civil and political rights. It is a subterfuge which Southern alleged statesmen have practiced from the foundation of the Republic. We have not in times past looked to John Sharp Williams, who represents a Mississippi rotten borough in Congress and is the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, for sanity or coherence in discussing any phase of the race question. Like most of his Southern confreres in Congress, he has appeared to be a confirmed reactionist, with an uncontrollable penchant for parading humbly as his political stock in trade. In a recent address, however, Mr. Williams said: "The South is less than one third of the American Union in its population, and in its white population very much less than one third. It is represented in the Senate by much less than one third of the Senators, and in the House also by less than one third of its membership. To repeal an amendment to the Constitution of the United States requires that it be done by way of further amendment. The Constitution of the United States provides that in order to amend the Constitution a resolution must pass both houses by a two-thirds vote in each, and that after that it must receive the endorsement of three fourths of the States. Nobody but a man with his head in the clouds or in a dark closet, nobody who has traveled over the balance of the Union and talked to the people, has the slightest notion that two-thirds of the representatives in the National Congress and three-fourths of the States of the Union can be precluded upon now or for at least a generation to come to repeal the fifteenth amendment. The difficulties which hedge about the repeal) or the adoption of a new amend- ment to the Federal Constitution are almost insuperable, as the Hon. James G. Blaine pointed out long ago; but, with regard to the repeal of the two last War Amendments, Hon. John Sharp Williams is the only southern alleged statesman of the present mediocre school who has perceived and pointed out the difficulties in the way. The New Orleans Picayune "cannot praise Mr. Williams too highly for his political sagacity and patriotic wisdom," which shows how rarely is found such common sense view of the matter by Southern alleged statesmen, since it is only an intelligent statement of blunt fact. The New York World says: Commenting on the speech, the New Orleans Picayune "cannot praise Mr. Williams too highly for his political sagacity and patriotic wisdom." This ought to be the opinion of every Southern newspaper. Not only will the North not consent to the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, but it may be doubled if the South a generation hence will itself favor such an appeal. Even to day, with the new Southern Constitutions sustained in effect by the United States Supreme Court, there is no justification for such an appeal on the part of the most instudent advocate of "a white man's government." Perhaps The World will not mind stating for the information of mankind particularly the "new Southern Constitution sustained in effect by the United States Supreme Court." There has been no fair test in the Supreme Court of any of these new constitutions. Pride of Race At the memorial meeting to the late Carl Schurz, in New York recently, at Carnegie Hall, Dr. Booker T. Washington, in the course of his interesting address, said: "For myself I was never more proud of being a Negro than I am today. If I had the privilege of reentering the world, and the Great Spirit should ask me to choose the color and the race with which to clothe my spirit, I would answer. 'Make me an Ameri can Negro.'" Wouldn't that jar you! "An American Negro," the way the term is used here and generally by the publicists of the world, is a common noun, defining a black person. The term as generally used does not designate a race, but rather a group of people. There are American black and yellow people, and the whole shooting match are properly Afro-Americans when designated collectively, and not American Negroes and Negresses. Dr. Washington is not black, therefore he is not a Negro, any more than was Frederick Donglass, or are three millions of people here, whom the brute lust of white men has corrupted in their blood. And how many Afro-Americans are, like Dr. Washington, proud of being of Negroid origin on one or both sides of them? Don't all speak at once. Dr. William H. Brooks of this town, one of the midstest and sweetest tempered men who ever preached the Gospel of Christ, is mad all the way through with President Roosevelt, and has denounced him more eloquently than any one else has for his order disbanding the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. When such a man as Dr. Brooks gets hot in the tongue there must be "something rotten in Denmark." Major Charles W. Penrose of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, in a better to the War Department, emphatically denies responsibility for the following widely advertised interview: "Here goes the last of the best dis- cipited, best behaved and best battalion in the United States Art "Is the statement for pub Major Penrose, according to the asked. "It certainly is," he replied, "vouch for it anywhere, backe army record. I will add that but little evidence to convict men. No court in the world sider the charges seriously." The War Department and the evidently have the officers and of the army scared, and if generalization be the outcome of the action in dealing with the privy Twenty-fifth Infantry there will nowhere, perhaps, except in House and the War Department. The President has just an appointment of J. A. McLennan ana to till a vacancy in the Compulsion, and by his app Democrats have a majority mission Who is McLennny? I innam Democrat. He was one attriblers in the Spanish War a reputation as the manufacta sace. A large percentage dental offices in the South, in the Philippines, has been Southern Democrats? Why? Tion for appointment a Black stands no chance whatever Southern Democrat. It is a queer of politics we have and no doubt We have been favored during two weeks with the presence of Mr. Emmett Jay Scott, of the Institute, and have enjoyed him immensely. We met Mr. Scott when he was editor of The Times one of the brightest Afro-Americans we have had, and is traveling with him in Texas to his brilliant intellect our heart. The years have at representation of his abilities and qualities. He is one of the country, and is doing a sp at Trickle Institute for the Afro-American people and the Republic. He is the head and front of Movement returned to Atlantic still smoozing and waiting to turn up as Mirewah Calhoun?

We are not only astonished to find that Dr. William The Independent takes side Roosevelt for lynching out a battalion of the Twenty a "without legal process," six words of three "officers and of the army, for alleged comp. Brownville fractes. If the BE the right to do such a thing to punish the guilty with in Accept the principle of the order, and we shall soon have executive order on the word "Root lauds Taft for Pres. news dispatch. Very good. laud Root for President. Te like mutual admiration in the one of the misguided newspapers in South are applauding the President while action and praising him for his attitude on the "race question." They say that the President old, right to discharge the whole battalion for the war, if a few, on the ground, of the majority are known and ought to have found out the particulars of the crime, and ought to have informed on their comrades. Listen to a sample argument: The consent of Negro criminals by of their own race is a notorious habit. Negro cannot commit a crime so vile that negro heaths will not be open to him an large. After the crimes, these Negroes were established, after every year of three companies had made himself a party to the crime, what was the President to do? It is the argument which was beamed among the most reckless and degrade- of the Atlanta mob-kill all Negroes and wipe out the race because some of them have done a wrong. No civilization can survive the adoption of such a barbaric code; no honorable, intelligent man can sustain such frenzied injustice, and it should become as clear, as the noonday sun to everybody that the essential question here involved has not the connection with the Negro question. The thick-and-thin supporters of the President's action contend that the step would have been taken if the troops had been white men. The fundamental question is the abhorrent punishment of the innocent in an arbitrary, high-banded manner which wholly disregards the simplest ideas of justice and right. The procedure can easily be, reduced to an absurdity. There is Mingo Sanders, first sergeant of Company B. He has served nearly twenty-five years in the army honorably and well. He has fought on the frontier; was one of the first up the shot-swept sides of El Caney with the President; has been honored in "general orders for distinguished services in the Philippines; has won the highest respect and esteem of his superior officers without exception, and has within a few months been discharged on a pension for life, he is cast out from service in his old age, blind in one eye, to the mercies of the world. Why, it is an outrage, and it is revolting for one especial reason which is convincing—he has won a name as one of the strictest disciplinarians in the service, who held his men to duty every detail. It has been held in burrs and not occurred, and is it conceivable that any of the culprits would go to this man who was feared by them and fell him of their crimes? J. punishment of this man and others just as him with nearly a quarter century taintful and have been their country to punish in its consternation, to support a rotten cause like that. And it is equally absurd and irrelevant to the vital issue to debate gravely whether the President, who is Commander-in-Chief of the Army, has the power to discharge the innocent with the guilty. Let it be admitted for the sake of the most that the Executive who has, and must have, great powers, may do an injustice to innocent soldiers, and still be within the letter of law—what does that matter? The point is that it is a violence to the spirit of fair play and to all ideas of justice and right to do, legally or illegally, a great wrong, and to establish the precedent that the government will be uphold in the unrightful punishment of the innocent even if they are the humblest and most despised and rejected of men. The Brownville affair is now of slight importance compared with the greater principle at stake. Shall the Government wittingly be engineered and the government driving at the condition when even "the sternest authority ventures to encounter the searching power of public reproach" exerted in a good cause? THAT CALM, SUPERIOR SMILE. It Craued Tillman More Than the Hoots and Catcalls. It must we should think, he plain now to those Afro-Americans in Chicago who endeavored to prevent Senator Tillman from speaking in that city, ostensibly on "The Annexation of Cuba," but really, as was apprehended and as proved to be the case, on the race question in the South, that it is well their protest was not heeded. It is quite true that the question which at present seems to obsess Senator Tillman is that which is a very common when he gives it a fair chance, is the race question in the South. It is true that his ostensible theme at Chicago gave him a fair pretext for promulgating his views on that question. It is true that his views on the solution of the Negro question in the South do not prognose any illumination whatsoever. They seem to combine the minimum of light with the maximum of heat, or with the maximum of heat, or with increasing normy and decreasing tolerance. While all these things are so, yet the colored people of Chicago would have missed an opportunity if they had succeeded in their purpose of preventing Senator Tillman from speaking. Not to speak of the absurdity of closing a man's mouth in a hall in Chicago who can open it and deliver his opinions at pleasure in the Senate of the, the United States, to adduce the acuteness of the incipient shadow, English-speaking peoples, that "Truth is invincible soiling as Error is left free to combat it," what a triumph would those colored Chicagoans have missed who sat and spilled superior at the outpourings of a white Senator. What he said about their race harmed him and not them. And the more he lost his reason in his passion, the more he raged and foamed, the greater right they had to smile superior. We may fairly conjecture that it was the clearly visible smile the calm, superior smile upon the floor that maddened the Senator—that and the consciousness that the smile was justified. Separate Gates in Montgomery Depot. separate units in Montgomery, La. November 26. For the first time in Alabama, separate entrance and exit gates were provided for the race at the union passenger station here to-day. This action was taken by the railroads to meet the requirements of city ordinances. --- In contrast with this narrow racial policy of the South in its treatment of its colored population note the large freedom from race prejudice which distinguishes the treatment of the blacks in Jamaica and the treatment of the whites in Queens, Queens, entitled "An Object-Lenovo in the Solution of Race Problems," by Mr. Frank Jewett Mather, and referred to by us in a former letter. The first impression which Mr. Jewett received from his observations in that island relative to the race question there "was of the absolute justice obtaining and between the white and the black," and officials, in adjudging the colored people, were like the old Indian who stood so straight that he leased over bookboards. An English resident, a justice of the peace, said that if a white man and a colored man were brought before him for similar offences, in case of conviction he inflicted a severer penalty upon the white man, and he would know his duty better than the colored man, and was deemed to have offended against greater light." Compare this remarkably same and enlightened administration of the laws in Jamaica with the narrow and wicked administration of them in the Atlanta plot cases by the Georgia authorities in that city. There on the evening of September 22 last a white mob took possession of Atlanta and for three days thereafter held possession of the city, hunting down, beating, shooting and murdering inoffensive and innocent Negroes in various places within the limits of that Southern municipality, under the eye of the police power and in many cases with the conviction of that same power. Much property of the colony residents of the city was destroyed the mob and a score of lives, more or less—probably more—of innocent and inoffensive colored citizens fell a sacrifice to appease the fury of the Negro haters of Atlanta. The authorities from beginning to end appeared much more solicitous to prevent the colored people pursued by such a murderous mob from striking back in self-defense than of arresting the bloody fury of those who were thirsting for the blood of the blacks. No attempt was made to disarm the mob, to deprive white men of firearms. On the contrary, all of the stores in the city where firearms could be obtained remained wide open to the whites. Not so in the case of the blacks, who were weaker in numbers and social strength than the whites, but quite the contrary. Their persons and dwellings were searched, and wherever arms were found they were soized by the authorities. All the places in the city where arms are stored who were closed to the colored people, who found themselves in their homes and on the streets, in their places of business and in their places of hiding completely at the mercy of one of the bloody mobs in the bloody history of Southern mobs. And then when the blood hunger of this terrible mob had been glutted, what was the conduct of the authorities? Here again we see the South at its worst; in dealing with the 'two races in its courts of so-called justice, as witness this news item in THE AGE of October 25: ATLANTA, Ga., October 22. The most hostile of the courts here between the whites and Afro-Americans who were arrested for complicity in the riots in September. The Americans are now in jail, charged with killing in the shooting of Officer Hearn. The charge against them is murder in the first degree. Twenty whites are in jail charged more severely than only in the minor. Yet they of their comrades are guilty of the deaths of nearly 20 Afro-Americans. Comment is unnecessary. For if ever iniquity and might have conspired together to wrong the weak they have done from beginning to end in Atlantawickedness on the part of the mob and wickedness on the part of the authorities likewise. Take another example of how the South is solving its race problem. There the greatest freedom of speech and of action is allowed the white race, while the smallest freedom of speech and of action is denied the colored race. The whites may speak and write every day in the week the worst things about the blacks, including black women, holding the whole black race up to the bitterest contempt and the most rancorous hatred of their enemies, and there is no public opinion in existence there that is disposed to frown down, to check such iniquitous use of the right of free speech and of the freedom of the press; none except in sports, and that has been the case in the trial selfishness, as, for instance, in the Atlanta tragedy, where the mob upset for the nonce the household and hotel service of the city and closed all its factories dependent largely on the Negro labor during the three days in which it held the government of that municipality by the threat. Two white men, more than any others, or perhaps only all others put together, were responsible for the Atlanta riot and the killing and wounding of so many colored people in that city last September. They are Hoke Smith, the newly elected Georgia governor, and the Georgia Graves, the editor of The Georgiaian. For weeks before that terrible outbreak of race hatred and violence Hoke Smith, on the stump and through the columns of his newspaper, The Atlanta News, conducted his campaign for the nomination and later for the election as the chief executive of that State along the color line. He was a man of color and wicked against his colored fellow citizens, things calculated to inflame the white people of the State with passionate and lawless hatred of the black. Was he rebuked by the public sentiment of the State? Was he warned to cease his inflammatory talk and writing? Was he notted to leave Georgia on the first train going North? Not at all, but quite the contrary. Those those on the train and infamous weeks received the endorsement of white Georgia at the polls. For weeks during this very period another honored white citizen of the State, John Temple Graves, through the shameful column of his shameful sheet, poured into the ears of the white people of the State and hurled at the devoted head of the colored people of the State the black cat lies, the cruelest iniminations, the most monstrous charges. Nothing in the war of the violent yellow journalism did he not use to hatch race hatred and race violence, to hatch murder and terror in the city where he published day after day his high-profile wicketmen withdrawn at a week, much suffering and presented man. When the figure of the rage hung by this abominable man of length broke out and dragged a score of innocent lives and held low the pillars of Georgia law and order for three days, was the author of all this destruction and iniquity brought to the bar of any Georgia court to answer for his mistreatment wickedness, for the direct and hellish consequence of his abominable malignation. Nothing of the kind. For he still lives in Atlanta beyond the reach of law, beyond the reach of Atlanta public opinion—lives there in perfect security of life and property to continue to edit and publish his abominable yellow sheet.

ALEXANDER CROSBY, 217 W. 600th St. But how different has been the fate of colored leaders who dared to speak out in defence of their race and in denunciation of the wrongs, the unspeakable, insults heaped upon their race and of outrages running over with the blood of innocent colored people murdered for no other cause than that of possessing a dark skin. Some of these men have been forced to fly from their homes, while others are compelled to weigh and measure every word spoken or written by them, to put a muscle on their mouths as the price paid to the mob, to the brutal violence of the Southern white man and of the government, for the private living of living and ancient Atlanta. Mum is the word for colored men or else the most guarded utterances, while the meantest and lowest of the whites enjoy the fullest and widest license of tongue and pen in abuse of colored people. Is this justice? Is this Christianity? Is this the boasted spirit of American fair play and democracy? Is it? ARCHIBALD II. GRIMKE. ROOSEVELT'S PRECIPITATION. May Be Compiled to Embarrassment of Rescinding Order. Cumulative evidence is now at hand in the matter of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, and it seems impossible to concede the merits of the President's action. The major commanding the battalion at Brownville now comes forward to tell us that on the night of the trouble all the garrison, except three, who were out on pass, were in quarters at 8 o'clock. That as soon as he learned of the riot, the assembly sounded and the roll was called within eight minutes. That every man was present and accounted for, except the three referred to, and even while they were rallying in line, the firing was going on in line, and the firing was of mixed arms and not of Government rifles alone, and that a prejudice existed against the Negro soldiers in Brownville. This testimony is indeed illuminating and pertinent. As Major Penrose presently will lay these facts before the President, his attitude will be interesting to observe. It is known very generally by all who have had any experience with Texas and the military, that there is no love lost between them. It should be noted, however, that this is largely due to the treatment accorded the soldiers by citizens of the Lone Star State in towns near army posts. In Texas strange things happen, and gunplay is an accomplishment more highly cultivated than in our effect but civilized East. The wild and untameable spirit of the West is still to be met with in certain of its States and, armed with this knowledge, it is passing stranger than Mr. Roosevelt could have acted as his familiarity with the West than he possesses. On the other hand, none had ever experienced the worth of the colored soldier as he did at San Juan, when the Teenth (colored) United States Cavalry rendered his Rough Riders such signal assistance! If Major Penrose can establish what he has so positively stained, then President Roosevelt will be embarrassingly confronted with his own haste. Should he fail to recognize from this evidence the injustice he has done a whole buttition of tried and disciplined soldiers in dishonorably discharging national service, or worse, informers for his judgment and sense of honor must abate. If it be established by a commanding officer of the United States Army that all but three of his command were in quarters when the Brownville trouble occurred, surely the Nation will perceive the unfairness of the Presidential dismissal! This Brownville matter may be bound to no bigger than a man's hand or the will of a man's hand. If the President, Justice and fair play demand a searching inquiry into the whole matter. HOWARD'S FORTIETH YEAR. University's New Awakening Under President Thirkeld. WASHINGTON, December 3. Prof. Kelly Miller has given THE AGE the following interview concerning conditions at Howard University: "Howard University began its fortieth session with the largest attendance in its history. All departments report enlarged enrollment. Not only in quantity, but in quality also, there is noticeable improvement. The student body is activated by the highest enthusiasm and a fine spirit of loyalty to the University ideal." "Every room in the University dormitory was preempted weeks before school opened, and scores of applicants had to be turned away or sent to seek accommodations outside of the campus. Arrangements are being made to enlarge the dormitory facilities to meet the anticipated demands for the coming year. The present pressing need of the University is for larger equipment. There is urgent need for a new science building, laboratories, a library building, administration building, a medical building, all with a million dollars. The Freedom's Hospital, costing five hundred thousand dollars, is soon to be completed. This will furnish facilities and opportunity to the medical department not surpassed by any medical college in the land. "The new president, Roy Wilbour P. Thirkield, D. D. L. L. D. is the source of new life and inspiration in all lines of University activity. He belongs to the work a large and rich experience, softly given new emphasis to the Howard spirit, which is the highest ideals of knowledge, character and service. The power and inspiration of his enthusiastic spirit is felt throughout in the faculty, in the class room and on the athletic field. His Sunday sermons are of unusual eloquence and are well attended with students and visitors attracted by the power and charm of his preaching. "Howard University has the largest body of Afro-American students pursuing the higher and professional education to be found in America, if not in the world. Located at the National capital, with easy access to the scientific bureau, and with opportunity to watch the practical workings of the various departments of the Government, its situation is unsurpassed by any institution in the land. Under the new awakening there is the widest hope that its large possibilities are about to be realized." This Thirkold is the fortieth anniversary of the University's life. It is the intention of President Thirkold to signalize this event with a convoction during commencement week, whep alumni, friends and well-wishers of the University will be invited to come together and join in rejoicing over results already attained, as well as in the larger outlook for the future."

To the Chief of Police of the City of New York SIR: "The Clansman" is billed to appear in Manhattan at the Grand Opera House, beginning Monday night, December 3, and during the ensuing week. A law-abiding citizen, many of whom are law-payers, and all of whom have certain inadmissible rights, among which is the right not to be housed in the Grand Opera infancy as belonging to a race of brutes such as we are pictured in this infernal play, we unanimely and sternly protest against the production of this play. This great city, crowded with divers races, could easily be set at each other's throats by the encouragement not for one single instant tolerantly play whose object and effect is to inflame race feeling, whether it be directed toward Jew or Gentile, Irish, Italian, German, or Negro. We, as a race, cannot be charged with being mildly sensitive. We permit without public protest compartmentalize a play, of which would companies, because they are merely bent on having fun, but the case of "The Clansman" is entirely different. The author publicly affores his deep and bitter hatred of the Negro, and as publicly declared his purpose to write a book and produce a play, the kind of which would passions in the human heart, or to make the entire white population rise up in a white heat of fury and drive out a race of ten millions rooted to the continent with three centuries' growth. Surely, it must be apparent without any argument from us that such a play can connect with the New York theater. We therefore object to its production. We base our objections upon the following grounds: 1. Mr. Thomas Dixon, the author, avows that the object of this play is to disturb the peaceable relations of these two races to such an extent that the Negro will be driven out. The carrying out of this purpose would best immediate the peaceable relations of public order. An army who deliberately sets to work to write a play with the end in view of making an irresistible appeal to the lawlessness and mob violence that would require police to suppress it ought to be suppressed before he has a chance to accomplish his unpatriotic and unlawful purpose. 2. We object to the play because the mother Dixon has played it in an dangerous act as the purpose is diabolical. To assemble upwards of a thousand or fifteen hundred people of all races nightly in a place of innocent amusement and set before them picture offer picture, absolutely false as far as they purport to represent ten millions of law-abiding citizens, picturing the race that guarded the womanhood of the South during the Civil War as a race of rapists, in each of which the white woman, is so dumbledolal that the strong sense of fair play of this city ought not to permit it for a night. The whole play revolves around two acts of attempted rape, one by a Negro of the lowest type. The little yellow-haired child is represented as being lured on deeper and deeper into the woods by the Negro until finally she falls into the river and is drowned by the water of her little lifeless body. The rage of the man rage and fury of the man, the Negro hunt is pictured, the capture, He is shown in the hands of the mob. He all this presented before ten or fifteen hundred people as typical of a race who must be driven out of the country to save all little girls from the same fate. The other scene is when a Negro at the other end of the social ladder, but with the same brutal and devilish nature, is presented as Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana to outrage the Governor's daughter. He again shows a white girl, helpless, locked in a room with this Negro, and all his preparations to outrage her. All this is unblinking presented as typical of the dangers to which white women are subjected unless white men rise up and drive the Negro out of this country. Three two sessions worked up to a moderate climax, before an audience that watched with ever increasing fury as the damnable imposition is fastened upon them, arose by a foul and slanderous lie the farcest, pandons that slumber in the Saxon heart and leads more forth than he can be shot down like a mad dog. A gentleman testified in Philadelphia that for three days after he had seen the play he felt like thrilling every Negro he met. Surely, the Police Department has trouble through pandons with a play like this, branched and banished because it incites to disorder, riots and bloodshed. If this were a true picture of the Negro it would be bad enough; but when, according to figures compiled by Southern papers, never more than a few lynched annually are even charged with attempted assault, the stupendous nature of the pictured and acted slander can be comprehended. If the Irishmen were justified in breaking up "McFadden's Flats" because it ridiculed the Irishmen, the will be justified for breaking up "The Clanman" that so grossly libels him. 3. We object to this play because of the record of strife, bitterness, rioting, bloodshed and murder that it has left in its track. It was proposed to stop it last year, we, our protestants, objected, because we felt that it was wiser to let it have a hearing than to call attention to it by our objections. But its record has been so bloody that even the Southern cities that last year welcomed it, this year, have refused to defend to bar it forever. We think no words of ours can express the harm done by this play to public peace and order and morality as is conveyed by the cartoons, editorials and enactments of the press and city governments of the South. We therefore submit thee and ask your thorough consideration of them: When in the history of this country did ever so many cities unite to brand and bar a play? Why would Southern cities, not so notoriously sympathetic to the Southern view, rise up and drive out such a play unless public peace and order and order and order are maintained. New York receive with welcome a play which Atlanta, Ga., bears because it atire up race riots and disorder? This play has been barred by statute from the whole State of Kentucky, also by the cities of Savannah, Birmingham, Macon, Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, and York, Pa., Harrington, Philadelphia, Delaware, the many may be known as that "The Charman" is universally regarded as a menace of public safety. 4. We bring this matter to your attention because the Mayor has referred us to you as the officer of the city government who has power to suppress the play. Upon the right and duty of the authorities to suppress it the testimony is required. We submit the intention to the recent action of the Mayor of Philadelphia in suppressing "The Clansman" and the decision of Judge Subburger in refusing to enjoin the Mayor for his action in this matter. We submit the entire proceedings of the trial, including the admissions of Dixon and the decision of Judge Subburger. It shows you would have an undoubtedly clear right to render a like service to New York. 5. We object, finally, to its presentation in New York because of the peculiar conditions that obtain here. New York is more subject to a riot than any Northern city in the Union. Indeed, there are certain sections where it might truthfully be said the races maintain an armed truce. Every now and then reserves are sent out to maintain even this condition or to suppress a budding riot. More than once our city has been disgraced, public lives are properly damaged, and lives unprotected by law are most impressible outburst of race hatred. Sometimes we are the victim, at other times it is another race at which the wrath of the lower element is directed. There is absolutely only one safe course for the authorities to pursue, in view of this stein and menacing condition, and that is to publish absolutely, for each and all of the army, that has for its object the stirring up of the strongest, fierest and most dangerous passion in the human heart - passions which when most fully armed have left a crack of blood and violence in the wake of the Chauqueys and the country to the other. Therefore, sir, we citizens, desiring to obey the law, are doing our utmost to secure the protection of the law in our determination that this play shall not be produced on Manhattan Island.
