NEWS THAT BE INFORMING. VOL XXX No. 33 THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1917 PRICE FIVE CENTS MAY SOON SEE ACTIVE SERVICE Fifteenth Regiment To Be Ordered Away in Near Future, According To Indications. WILL ENCAMP-AT PEEKSKILL Regiment Leaves Sunday for Two Weeks — Regimental Headquarters Now at Harlem Casino—Col. Hayward Thanks Women for Interest They are Showing in Fifteenth. Reports in circulation for several days that the Fifteenth Regiment is soon to see active service soem to be well founded. Capt. Lorillard, Spencer, military secretary to Gov. Whitman, has resigned to serve as Lieutenant-Col-领袖 of the Fifteenth, and it is rumored that Col. William Hayward will tender his resignation as a member of the Public Service Commission at an annual salary of $15,000 within a few days. The probability of the regiment soon having the city for an indefinite stay is further evidenced by a contemplated two weeks' stay at Peekskill, N. Y., commencing Sunday. At Peekskill the regiment will indulge in small arms practice and field exercises. There is considerable likelihood of the members of the regiment undergoing individual inspection conducted by officials from the War Department, while at Peckskill, the officers being not through the mental and physical tests required by the Federal authorities. Owing to lack of space, the regimental headquarters of the Fifteenth have moved from the temporary armory at South avenue and 131st street to the Harlem River Casino at 126th and First avenue, where members of the regiment, from Col. Hayward down, may be found up to Sunday. The interest displayed by the colored women of Greater New York in the regiment has been most gratifying to Col Hayward, and the efficient manner in which the Women's Auxiliary of which Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier is president, has investigated the domestic affairs of the enlisted men of the regiment has prompted Col. Hayward to and Mrs. Frazier the following letter: In reply to your letter of the 4th, I am very glad to recognize in any way the Women's Auxiliary of this regiment, which you and the other devoted women have voluntarily spent their time in organizing. It is a great relief to me to have such an organization to call upon for the many things which only women can do, and without which, the men of this regiment would suffer innumerable hardships. Of course, there are many things to be borne by men who go into the field, which are the sacrifices of patriotism. But in so far as it can be done, it is, of course, my nearest wish that these birtishings should be alleviated in any way possible. To this and I believe that your organization will be of the utmost value and can render services which could be rendered by no others. Looking forward to close cooperation between this regiment and its auxiliary, I am Your truly. (Signed) WILLIAM HAYWARD. Colonel. Tobacco, papers and cigarettes may be entailed men to regimental headquarters at the Harlem River Casino, or after Sunday to Peckslaw. As each man is required to furnish soap, two towels, toothbrush and toothpower these articles can also be used to advantage when donated. Members of the regiment who have goodied families depending on them for support are to be allowed to resign. A movement has been started among the women of Brooklyn, under the auspices of the Neighborhood Whist Club, to organize an annex auxiliary to work in the interest of the battalion of the Fifteenth Regiment stationed in that borough. Visits to the homes of the soldiers' families are being made and such information as might help in future operations is being secured. A meeting of the women willing to join in the work was held Wednesday evening at the headquarters of the battalion, 191 Harrison avenue, Brooklyn, where accommodations for the meeting of the auxiliary were provided by the commanding officer. At Peekahall Capt. C. W. Fillmore will be officer of the day. First Lieutenant E. B. D. Fox, officer of the guard and agent Napoléon B. Marshall charge of the Summary Court.

MOUNT OLIVET HOLDS PATRIOTIC SERVICES Members Sing National Airs with Fervor and Wave American Flags Sunday Evening. "THE NEGRO'S AMERICANISM" Dr. W. P. Mayes Lands the Loyalty of the Negro and Suggests that President Wilson Include Race in This Great World Movement for Democracy. Patriotism ran high at the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, in Fifty-third street Sunday evening, "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "America" were sung with a zest by the large congregation. Each person carried a small American flag, which was enthusiastically waved throughout the evening. The sermon of the pastor, the Rev. W. P. Hayes, on "The Negro's Americanism," was the feature of the patriotic service. He said in part: "While the Negro is in sympathy with this great world movement for democracy, and will stand by his country and flag to the bitter end, he is at the same time conscious of the many wrongs inflicted upon him by the same country for which he would give his life. The President has declared that we are fighting for democracy, for the rights of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments. A principle, indeed, worth fighting for. "But the question arises: Is this principle to be applied at home as well as abroad? It is a splendid thing to see the Russian people throwing off the yoke of the Romanoffs and establishing in lieu thereof a democracy. It is a splendid thing for this country to sand a commission of distinguished Americans to help those people in their efforts at self-government. But what about those sections of our own country in which there is not even thesemblance of a democracy? Shall we apply this great principle there, or is it intended merely for the nations of Europe? America to day faces the greatest opportunity for a thorough housekeeping of the American people, as Lincoln's President Wilson pointed out the way in his war message. Let him, while urging with all his characteristic earnestness the realization of human rights abroad, try to stir the hearts and consciences of the American people for democracy at home. Let him, and let us all say that it is inconsistent for us to be fighting for the liberation of European peoples, when we have political repression on so large a scale at home, and are doing little or nothing to overthrow it. "Nothing would so hearten the ten millions of Negroes in this country as an early indication of America's intention to come in on the tide of democracy that is now sweeping over the face of the earth. Will America rise to her opportunity and become in very truth the champion of human rights? Let us hope that she will." THE FROGS TO MAKE IMPORTANT CHANGES A meeting of the Board of Administration of The Frogs (Incorporated) was held Sunday when important matters affecting the future policy of the organization were discussed. Two of the chief subjects under consideration were the establishment of an athletic department and the extension of the work of this original organization in other cities, the membership to consist of representative members of the race. Those present at Sunday's important meeting were Frogs Jesse A. Shipp, Tom Brown, Alex Rogers, R. C. McPherson, J. Rosamond Johnson and Lester A. Walton. The new plans will soon be presented to the entire body for approval. ENGLEWOOD ORGANIZED FOR HOME DEFENCE (Special to The New York Age) ENGLEWOOD, N. J.

NS ITS BUILDING CAMPAIGN Unreliable Workmen Injure The Chances of Negro Labor In the Northern States MISS RANKIN FAVORS UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE Congresswoman Wants All Women To Be Given the Ballot Regardless of Race or Color. SPEAKS AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Representative from Montana Dresses In the Height of Fashion and Has a Pleasing Personality—Addresses Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Gets Warm Welcome. Special to The New York Act. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Miss Jeanneette Rankin of Montana, the only woman Congressman, is an object of interest wherever she appears, as well as to all visitors to the House of Representatives. Last Friday afternoon Miss Rankin was the center of interest and attraction at Howard University, when she was present upon invitation of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to lecture for them. Miss Rankin was introduced by the presiding officer, Miss Maud Burlley, began her address with "Men and Women and spoke of many things in and about Montana. Then she began to speak for and in favor of woman suffrage. She told how she won out over the men and of her jovial disposition, of her social services work, and work for woman suffrage during the past eight years. She said her first vote was cast for herself, and that she was in favor of suffrage for all women without regard, to race or color, and would subscribe to nothing not for the benefit of all. It will be of peculiar interest to the female readers of the Titie Ack to know that Miss Rankin is also very much up-to-date in her way of dressing. She is a pleasing sort of woman, and dresses in the height of fashion. She wore a short skirt, with high-heeled slippers and silk stockings. After the exercises Miss Maud Murdock presented Miss Rankin with a large bunch of flowers and she remained and shook hands with the students. She made a very good impression. The following program was rendered: Instrumental solo; Miss Adaline Smith; vocal solo; Miss Revella Hughes; remarks, Prof. George W. Cook; solo, Miss Grace Randolph. TELEGRAPH MESSAGES WITHHELD. IS CHARGED Representatives of the Western Union Telegraph Company in the South are accused of withholding telegraphic communication from colored men who are actively engaged in sending Negro labor to the North. In North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama labor agents are said to have greatly inimpeded by the high-handed methods of telegraph officials. Some comms messages from New York and other northern points are said to have misplaced or delayed several days, and colored men charge that in some places the telegraph operators have refused to accept the messages upon learning that they dealt with the bringing of Negro labor to the North. Officials at the main office in New York have been appraised of the strange conduct of their subordinates in Southern towns, and while they go through the ceremony of making a rigid investigation every now and then the failure of a Neuro to receive a message sent him from New York is reported. CANEGROWERS WORRIED OVER THE NEGRO EXODUS (Special to The New York Asl) (Special to The New York Ace) NEW ORLEANS, La. — so many young Negro laborers are leaving for the North that the cancergrowers of Louisiana have invited former exodus to New Orleans, where the emigrants come to entrain for the North, the Mayor of the city has declared that planters are every day writing him from their plantations in the sugar belt to do something to discourage the Negro when passing through New Orleans. The Mayor has been holding conferences with railroad and steamship heads with a view of doing what he can to stop the exodus. As a result, it is current report that some hundred and odd Negro laborers that had passed the required physical examination and were listed to leave on transportation tickets in hands of railroad agents, failed to get off Monday night, April 23, as they expected and were at the station ready to do so. War and warmer weather have given impetus to the migration movement, and the exodus of thousands of Negroes from the Southland and their presence in the North have created new situations and new problems in both sections. The demand for Negro labor in the North is even greater than ever, these being openings galore for machined workman. Unable to secure the desired amount of Negro labor the National Highways Commission is importing Spaniards and Mexicans in large numbers who have been put to work building roads. In New York State alone roadbuilding has been almost at a standstill because of the scarcity of labor. Although Negro labor is on trial in the North and prospects of the race assuming an important place in the industrial world are unusually bright at this time, the unreliable Negro workmen is beginning to make himself a nuisance, thereby embarrassing those who bring him to the South and vouch for his dependable, and providing a costly experiment to those who advance his transportation and go to big expense in giving the Negro a chance to make good. Two serious complaints have been registered against colored help by northern industrial firms recently. One has been that southern Negroes, after reaching the North, permit themselves to be lured away by labor agents who make false promises of higher wages. The other complaint is that some Negroes, after being brought North, work a day or two and then quit without giving notice, leaving their place of employment in debt. of cement late mixes and barrels. Some writing their former letter to you we hired an experiment with colored help received through an agency in New York. We engaged through the agency eight men, paid the agency $3 per man, paid the agency $3 per man, paid the agency $3 per man, which is about seventy miles from New York City; gave the men their supper, lodging and breakfast. Four of the men reported to work the following morning and four cleaned out. We are, therefore, out of the money paid the labor agency, their care and board. The following day, Saturday, we engaged four more colored men from an agency in New York City, paid the agency $3 per man, paid their care, housed them and fed them Saturday night, all day Sunday, gave them their breakfast Monday morning and packed them each a bottle with dinner. Those men left the housing house but not reported. After this experience we have come to the conclusion that the colored man is not dependable and in an expensive possession under any circumstances. The four men out of the first lot are still working for us, but the work produced. What Happened in Jamesbrom One of the most recent cases in which a bad impression was created by light-sponsible Negroes occurred at Jamestown, N. Y., which is a thriving town of 50,000 situated not many miles from Buffalo. There are not many colored people in Jamestown, and when the Colored Council of Jamestown Negro laborers from the South to work in the mills a race issue was started. The question became of such vital interest that a resolution was introduced in the Common Council to prohibit the housing of Negroes in certain section of the city. Corporation Counsel Chr. A. Price was called on to pass upon the validity of the resolution and he advised the Councilmen that if the resolution did not actually conflict with the Constitution of the United States, in his opinion it was an unwrite move as it might arouse criticism in and out of Jamestown. Upon this advice, the resolution, which has been passed, was rescinded. The arguments of white people living in the vicinity where the colored men were employed were that their presence required to deprive the value of property, which were met by facts and figures of Arthur W. Kettle, director of the Gurney Ball Bearing Company, showing that the building occupied by the colored workman had formerly been used by foreigners, such as Italians, and that many improvements had been made and the building put in good condition for the Negroes, increasing, if anything, the value of the property. After the officials of the Gurney Ball Bearing Plant had fought a winning fight to crystallize public sentiment, in favor of the presence of southern Negroes in large numbers in Jamestown, several, after a week's service, left town owing for board and in debt to the firm for railroad fare, while two were discharged for drunkenness and fighting in the streets of Jamestown. The following communication to John T. Clarke, industrial secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, who was instrumental in securing the opening for colored men at Jamestown, speaks for itself. Dear Mr. Clark: I regret to have to advise you that we were obliged to discharge two of the men you sent us in the first consignment. These men are — and — and were discharged on account of drunkenness and fighting. From the reports which reached us they attacked one of the men, who recently came up from Savannah, the disturbance occurring. In the public streets of Jamestown just outside of a saloon not very far from the boarding house, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Duggy both made complaints against these two men as being inifiable citizens, consequently we paid them off last night and sent them out of town, they desiring to go to Cleveland. (Signed) A. C. DAVIS. Here is another communication received by Mr. Clark, which gives an insight as to the difficulties some firms are experiencing with unreliable Negro help: Easton, Pa., May 3, 1917. Dear Mr. Clark: Replying to your communication of the 2nd, wish to advise the nature of our business is that of manufacturing Portland cement. The work is of a general character, namely, quarrying, stripping clay from surface, unloading stone and coal from cars, general all-round work inside the mills (does not require experience), packing PRICE FIVE CENTS Injure Negro Labor States We given impetus to the migration mands of Negroes from the South South have created new conditions of cement into radio and television. Any man with ordinary intelligence can do this work. Since writing our former letter to you we need an experiment with colored help received through an army in New York. We engaged through the agency eight men, paid the agency $3 per man, paid fare to Vulcanite, N. J., which is about seventy miles from New York City; gave the men their supper, lodging and breakfast. Four of the men reported to work the following morning and four cleaned out. We are, therefore, out of the money paid the labor agency, their carriage and board. The following day, Saturday, we engaged four more colored man from an agency in New Berlin City, paid the agency $3 per man, paid their carriage, housed them and fed them Thursday night, all day Sunday, gave them their breakfast Monday morning and packed them each a hotel with dinner. These men left working home but never reported. After this experience we have come to the conclusion that the colored man is not dependable and in an expensive proposition under any circumstance. The four man end of the first set are still working for us, but the work produced in far below of the ordinary white man. We would, therefore, ask that you do not read any of their kind of help to so, unless you are quite sure that they are willing to work at least long enough to work out their carriage and board. Because of numerous instances in which men have had their transportation advanced them and then failed to put in appearance after reaching the North, the Urban League and other agencies have discontinued the policy of furnishing railroad fare unless the parties are known to be absolutely reliable. It is said that hundreds of dollars have been lost by northern firms which have provided transportation. Unscrupulous labor agents are said to be victimizing southern Negroes by taking advantage of their ignorance of conditions in the northern states. Men have been met in New York upon arrival and persuaded to desert those with whom they had agreed to work for $2.50 a day, having been promised by these agents, who are looking for a commission, as much as $4 and $5 a day. Upon going to the new positions it is found that the salaries have been grosely misrepresented. In Harlem the attention of the police have been directed to several cases of robbery in which the colored man just coming from the South has been victimized by members of his race. Confidence men are known to have engaged a newcomer in conversation, gained his confidence and then taken him to a flat where he is relieved of all his money and valuables. In order to keep Negroes coming North from falling into the hands of dishonest people, the Urban League has issued the following notice: This notice is of special interest to the many Negro coming North at this time and who have serious intentions. We realize that many come to be with relatives and friends already here, and will be well protected; some come to escape economic oppression in sections of the South where they have lived; many come for the mere pleasure of being "rolling stones" others for the sake of travel or seeking excitement, and they will not be interested in advice offered. There are a large number, however, who have good intentions in coming North, and for those we are giving this word of caution. On account of the cheapness of the rates by the steamship companies in a large number of the people from the Southern Atlantic Seaboard are using the water routes. At the Piera in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore a large number of crooks, thieves, pretenders, and labor agents hang out to greet the colored brother from the South. Hardly a day but what our attention is called to some case where an unsuspecting colored man from the South has been robbed and left absolutely penniless in a strange city without friends. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is an organization that is interested in trying to help the colored people coming into our cities to better adjust themselves. An increasing number of employers for domestic work, for factories, foundries and the various industrial concerns. eM oe eee?

S, Smith, previous to his de- parture last month, came up on second reading in the Legislative Council. In the course ef the discussion it was made to appear that no special animus was aimed_at the African Methodist Episcopal Church, but that the measure was intended as’ a protection against foreign plotttrs. The Attorney General, in explaining the purpose of the bill, of which he is the author, said among other things: It was known, and had been fally proved that it was a feature of Ger- man policy to plot interual disorders in the couniries of enemies or potential enemies, through various channels, and nissonaries were one of the agencies mst used for tins work, The places most strongly atlacked were in the East rather than in the West, but the Ger- man system was so wide spread. that Jamaica may be affected, and the Home authorines had directed ‘the colonies tc protect themselves in some way as. Ja- maica was new doing. He would men- tion ss order to ayoul any misunder- sanding that the Governor did not in- tead to discourage im any manner the seti-sacrifieing work which was being Gone by friendly aliens, but the desire was to guard against, aliens acting as peopaganiists. for Germany under th guise of doing mihsionary work in the Country And this. object would bi achieved under the bill which require that any person, not a British subject must get_a written permission of th Governor before engaging in missionary or educational work in the island, I | was expected that those who were en gaged in legitimate missionary worl would have no trouble in satisfying th | Governor that they were proper partic || to be granted the license, and they woul continue to enjoy the same freedom it their work as they did now.

A curious feature of the recruiting to fill the ranks of the regular army has been the overwhelming proportion of colored men enlisted in the South. For instance at Norfolk, Va., over seventy-five per cent of the recruits obtained through the local recruiting office were stated to be colored. So, notice was received from the War Department that no more colored applicants could be accepted, as the four Negro regiments have been recruited up to war strength. At Louisville, Ky., an army officer, head of the local recruiting office, is quoted as saying that if white men enlisted proportionately as fast as colored men, the desired number of men would be quickly gotten. At Oklahoma City, Okla., the enlistment of Negroes was ordered discontinued for the same reason as assigned at Norfolk. From Galveston, Tex., a correspondent writes that "the Negroes of this place have put all other races to shame when their loyalty was put to the test at the recruiting office. When this office closed its doors finally to colored recruits, the proportion stood sixty-six to six in the colored man's favor." And this in the town where the Texas National Guard murdered two unarmed Negroes! But the worst showing was reported from Charleston, S. C. where but six recruits were reported for the army out of the 178 required. For the navy, according to the Charleston American, seven husky specimens of manhood who offered their services to their country were refused "because they fell afoul of the "Jim Crow Law." But no other applicants appeared that day save these black men. And they were turned away on account of their race, although meeting all other requirements, as stated by the recruiting officers. The foregoing recital gives ample evidence of the manner in which the race has responded to the call of the country. The response has been unfaltering and limited only by the extent to which existing laws and regulations restrict the use of their services. If the country desires to avail itself further of this material for its defence, it is up to the Administration and the Congress to open wide the doors of opportunity for such service. Provide for new regiments among the regulars and remove the bars that restrict service to the capacity of stewards and waiters in the Navy. The race has proved its patriotism. Let Congress do its full duty in the matter by forbidding discrimination on account of race or color REMEDIES FOR MIGRA TION. The Atlanta Constitution recently made use of a bulletin issued by the New York Health Department to discourage the departure of Negroes to the North, by showing the "appalling death rate among Negroes as compared with that among the white inhabitants." The Constitution argues that "if the Negroes generally could be made to realize how well off they are at home and what awaits them in the North, the exodus from the South would die out in short order." Evidently the Constitution does not realize the causes that are at the bottom of this movement of race toward the North. If it would investigate the conditions with an open mind and endeavor to get the viewpoint of the people concerned, it might find cause to modify its assumption as to "how well off they are at home." It might find some reforms that might be adopted in the South that would redound to the betterment of both races. In scanning the columns of the Negro papers published in various sections of the South, one will find many different reasons assigned for this migration movement. A review of them is not only full of interest, but also of instruction to those really interested in the welfare of both races and all sections of the country. In South Carolina, for instance, wage increase and fairer treatment are defined as the means for stopping the migration; also protection of person and property. In Georgia, better treatment is demanded, specifically the franchise and protection under the law. Alabama laborers want wages raised, more schools and better teachers. In North Carolina the plea is for employment in factories, better sanitation and housing conditions and a relief of the congestion obtaining. Will the Constitution consider the quest for these conditions too presumptuous for a race but half a century removed from bondage? It must remember that this race has been trained in the school of American democracy (with both the large and small Ds) and such training produces full-fledged Americans. They are animated by the same spirit that actuated the pioneer settlers of the Republic, the love of Liberty and the full exercise of manhood rights. In the pursuit of these they have suffered much, but are still striving to the end. That there are white men in the South acute enough to perceive the true facts of the situation and point out the remedy, is indicated by an editorial in the Independent, published at Elizabeth City, N. C., entitled "Why Labor Leaves the South." The gist of this editorial is indicated by the warning given to employers that "Southern labor must be better cared for." The editor continues: "But that isn't all; Southern labor must not only be better paid, but it must have better working conditions and better protection." The Richmond Times also urges that the grievances of the Negro be investigated. Let the campaign of education started to convince the Negro that he is better off at home in the South embrace an inquiry into some of the conditions indicated above. Then the appropriate remedy will be found to stop migration at its source Whether the charges made against the Government meat inspector arrested in Philadelphia are true or not, there is a lesson in the incident for those who are inclined to talk too much with their mouths and rail against the Government. The charge of treason against the accused man was based on the statement of a witness that he had Since the entry of the United States into the war, considerable pressure has been brought to bear to have this Government make demands upon England to settle the Irish question in accordance with the desires of the majority of the Irish people in this country. The attempt has been made to have the United States make its assistance to the Allies contingent upon the granting of home rule to Ireland by Great Britain. The attitude of the British Government toward such a proposition need not be discussed, and with it we are not concerned. What did strike our attention was a statement made in "The Morning Post" of London by Frederic Harrison, the famous English historian and publicist. We quote from a despatch to the New York "Times": Englishnien welcome with enthusiasm the entrance of the great republic into this tremendous war, not merely because we are now tightening side by side, but rather because it manifests that the common cause is that of civilization, humanity and peace. But does this glorious comradeship in arms quite justify American politicians, however eminent and friendly, thrusting themselves into our municipal politics at a moment of intense crisis? What would Americans do if we intervened in one of their dilemmas say, if our ex-Ministers, doctors and preachers were to summon them with a passionate appeal to raise up their 12,000,000 of colored citizens to equal human dignity, to wipe out the national stigma on the commonwealth that every man or woman born with a dark skin is born into the shame of exclusion and the life of a pariah race? A few weeks ago we published a similar statement made in the German Reichstag by Dr. Ludwig Haas, who made most sarcastic references to lynchings and the common outrages against colored American citizens. When we read the question which Mr. Harrison asks, we, too, found ourselves wondering what Americans would do. Of course, there is the case of Rustem Bey; but that case does not cover the conditions of Mr. Harrison's question, for Rustem Bey was the solitary representative of a benighted land. Do Age readers remember the incident? Let me recall it. Just two years and a half ago this country was saying some bitter things about Turkey. There was wholesale condemnation of and righteous indignation against some outrages then being committed by the Turks. Rustem Bey was at the time the Turkish Ambassador to the United States. He stood what he considered to be a lot of hypocritical cant about as long as he could, then came out in a statement to the newspapers in which he expressed himself about American democracy and American civilization with far more strength and far less regard for tender feelings than either Mr. Harrison or Dr. Haas. As a result, Mr. Bey was very quickly excused from his international duties at Washington and given to understand that the climate of his native land would be more healthful. The incident was one that moved us to "poetry," and on Rustem Bey's departure we wrote the following lines: Rustem Bey, Rustem Bey, A day ago you sailed away, Before you left you had your say— They seemed to think you quite too perky. But, Rustem Bey, you had them wincing. When in your manner so convincing. You stated what you thought of lynching Compared to what they do in Turkey. aid, Rustem Bey was the solitary represser, so he could easily be gotten rid of the issue were raised by the "ex-Minister of all England. We cannot definitely answer, but we are certain that the Americans had more stirred up and embarrassed than remarks of the heathen Turkish Ambassadee more bitter than the question asked by her for the accusation made by Dr. Haas of Germany by Rustem Bey of Turkey. That the cemetery and barbarous land could justly flout the great democracy of the West is my approaches that might be made by citizens of Christian nations. It is only too true that in question the United States does suffer not be fitting then for this country, whether the great conflict in the cause of death begin by clearing its own conscience, conflict in sincerity and not in hypocrisy? America, while she is preparing to fight something to remove the stain from democracy, her arm will be stronger and her swine through the battle. As we said, Rustem Bey was the solitary representative of a beighted land, so he could easily be gotten rid of; it would be different if the issue were raised by the "ex-Ministers, doctors and preachers" of all England. We cannot definitely answer Mr. Harrison's question, but we are certain that the American people would be a good deal more stirred up and embarrassed than they were by the caustic remarks of the heathen Turkslsh Ambassador. And yet, more bitter than the question asked by Mr. Harrison of England or the accusation made by Dr. Haas of Germany were the slurs cast by Rustem Bey of Turkey. That the representative of that infidel and barbarous land could justly flout the holier than thou claims of the great democracy of the West is more significant than any reproaches that might be made by citizens of the great civilized and Christian nations. It is only too true that on the particular point in question the United States does suffer by comparison with Turkey. Would it not be fitting then for this country, while it is preparing to enter the great conflict in the cause of democracy and humanity, to begin by clearing its own conscience, so that it can enter that conflict in sincerity and not in hypocrisy? Cannot America, while she is preparing to fight for democracy abroad, do something to remove the stain from democracy within her own borders? If she does, her arm will be stronger and her sword will flash brighter all through the battle. A PROPHET. the most frequent claims made by an inn that of having been a prophet: The "l get at every turn. Their presence is g one of the burdens of life. Whittier felt One of the most frequent claims made by an innumerable host of people is that of having been a prophet. The "I told you so" people are met at every turn. Their presence is generally to be accepted as one of the burdens of life. Whittier felt that no words said "the United States was no good and wished that Germany would hek us." It is only fair to add that the inspector denied the charge, but a little more discretion and silence might have kept him out of his unpleasant predicament. The rapid mobilization effected by the women of New York, in response to the call for aid to the Fifteenth Regiment, issued through the Women's Loyal Union and kindred organizations, was a gratifying proof of their readiness to take their part in all good works and especially in sustaining those who have enlisted to fight for home and country. There were many details to be attended to in getting the regiment in position for active service, that could best be accomplished through the instrumentality of the women of the race. And it is to their credit that they entered upon the duties assigned them with alacrity. It also carried inspiration and encouragement to the soldiers to feel that the race at large, through these women, felt an interest in their welfare and comfort. are sadder than "It might have been." In our opinion, no words are more exasperating than "I told you so." The claim of having been a prophet is an easy one to make, because it is generally made after the event has taken place. The only true prophets are those who stand out before the whole world and boldly declare what is going to happen and when it is going to happen. And the "when" is the most important thing in prophecy, because almost anything that might be prophesied will surely happen at some time or another. In the very short list of true prophets the country must include Theodore Roosevelt. He does not have to repeat the hateful "I told you so," for every word of what he has been prophesying for the past two years is of record, and it has all come to pass. Now, it seems only reasonable that after a prophet has proved beyond all doubt that he is a true prophet, his words should be heeded. There may have been excuses for not heeding Colonel Roosevelt before the verification of his prophecies, but there are certainly none now. And so it looks like unwisdom not to pay immediate attention to his plea to send an American force to the French battle front as quickly as possible. Just why Colonel Roosevelt's plan is opposed is not entirely clear. Various reasons have been given out. A recent despatch from Washington says that the opposition rests upon the facts that the Roosevelt expedition would drain the regular army of some of its best officers; that it would take equipment and uniforms needed for the regular army, the National Guard and for the new conscript army; that it would involve a vast expense at a time when all the money will be needed in financing the new army; that it would be a set back to the selective conscription plan that Congress is considering. Of course, no plain citizen can know just what the reasons are that influence a government in times like the present, but the opinion of The Globe seems quite plausible when it says, editorially, "the impression strengthens that the reason why the administration and our somewhat bureaucratic war machine do not want Colonel Roosevelt to go is because they do not want him to go." In the same article The Globe adds: "It is an amazing thing to have the Government discourage in every possible way the 180,000 who are offering their services. Such a thing never before happened in war. THE LOUISVILLE SEGREGATION CASE. The brief filed by Mr. Moorfield Storey in the Louisville Segregation case that was reargued several days ago before the United States Supreme Court makes it difficult to see how the Court can do anything else but render a favorable decision. It meets and knocks out every plea made in favor of segregation. The old argument was made that such an ordinance is fair because it applies equally to both races. In reply to this argument the brief reads as follows: In the present case it is contended that the difficulty is met by the provision that white persons shall not occupy buildings in "colored blocks". As well argue that an ordinance which prevented a denizen of Five Points from moving into Fifth Avenue could be sustained because it forbade the dweller on Fifth Avenue to move into Five Points. Anatole France has commented upon the absolute justice of the laws which prevent rich and poor alike from sleeping under the arches of the bridges which cross the Seine and from begging in the public streets. A law which forbids a Negro to rise is not made just because it forbids a white man to fall. The last sentence of the above paragraph is a classic. Never before has that favorite old fallacy about the law applying equally to both races been knocked out with fewer words. We should like to reproduce here the greater part of this brief. However, we must quote the paragraph in which Mr. Storey answers the contention that segregation tends to avoid, fricish, disorder and riots. The brief reads: At Palm Beach in Florida Negroes act as chauffeurs, if they appear in Miami they are mobbed and the result is a breach of the public peace. In some places they are attacked if they engage in certain employments which the whites wish to monopolize, and violence may be used in the effort to prevent them. Would the police power justify a law forbidding them to act as chauffeurs in Miami, or to engage in any lawful employment anywhere, because they might be attacked if they did so? If so, they have no rights. If not, this ordinance cannot be sustained, for it is defended on the ground that one body of citizens may take from another body their clear rights in order to prevent lawless attacks upon the latter by the former. The only policeman who ever fancied that such a police power existed was the wolf in his dealings with the lamb If this case is not won for the race, it will not be because the case was not ably presented.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: In reply to Raleigh correspondent's discussion in the issue of April 26, permit me to say as a business man of experience, the following: 'The correspondent asks and answers a set of questions, in some instances unfairly, and in others untruthfully. In fact, I sincerely doubt his whole-hearted interest in TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 11TH THRU JULY 20, 1917 EXTENSIVE COURSES. SPLENDID FACULTY the Negro race. Such things as he suggests are only petty, and are overlooked by other races in patronizing their own people For instance, take Question No. 1—"Why do you fail to go to a colored shoe merchant and buy shoes when you go out to buy shoes?" The answer to that should be entirely different from his. I expect though that he is one of those who go to white merchants. When a Negro wants shoes, he usually wants a standard brand, so that he can say that he has on a pair of Fitwell shoes. Or, he wants to say that he or she always buys his or her shoes from so and so's shop, the "classiest place in town" to purchase footwear. Quality and prices in most instances are secondary, or not thought of, especially by those who buy shoes with a fair profit to the retailer. It is a known fact that the Negro merchant can't get certain standard brands because they are contracted for by one man in a town and cannot possibly be handled by any one else, white or black. Now, if a Negro merchant has quality but no well known name, we haven't confidence enough in him to chance his word, so we go to Blank's and buy Fitwell shoes. Negro merchants will allow goods to spoil before reducing prices, but many other merchants reduce price on spoiled or deteriorated which is worse. The Negro merchant usually throws away entirely such goods. After each season a white merchant does sell his poor sellers at cut prices because they will not go into another season. The Negro merchant is usually compelled to buy only standards which are not cut. White merchants do not cut low quarter shoes of certain shapes in the summer time, and the writer has never recalled a really standard all-year article being cut, for instance. Black and blue serges, white phases, blisters, nodules, certain phases shapes. Question No. 2—"Why is it that a white foreigner can open a restaurant for the accommodation of Negroes next door, and draw Negro trade?" The gentleman from Raleigh says the "foreigner buys the best." Who ever heard of a Greek or Italian buying the best for Negro trade? Is it not a known fact that his many concoctions, stews, etc., are refuse from his and clean meals? His place may be clean because he can get competent help. Can a Negro get such help? Most of the results Negro restaurants offer are useful to credit meals, something the other never do, trying to collect where he has tried to accommodate a customer and in trying to keep order in his place. The foreigner does not differentiate in his service. "All niggers look alike in him. Why then should a Negro restaurant differentiate?" Question No. 3, relative to Negro undertakers—The first part of the course spondent's answer is true, the second absurd. Undertaking is a business, as such must be cared for like any other business. I am of the opinion that gentleman from North Carolina in the many Negroes, who will do business a businesslike way with whites, be when businesslike methods are pursued by one of his own race, that one must be condemned. When a man contends to pay at a certain time, modern business demands that he do so, in order that the creditor can meet his bills, have always found undertakers to be able to supply anything on short terms as most of them, white or black, carry samples of the higher grades up on a larger source of supply. In conclusion, let me state that the greatest drawbacks to our business enterprises are members of our race to entertain similar views, as the North Carolians. A Negro will, with few exceptions, pay a white man more for the article, or service, than he will a Negro so will any other race but the Negro if a Negro merchant tells you he is a pair of shoes at $5 as good as Bac & Co's you will not believe him. You say "No, I want Blank & Co's, I be using them for some time." I am a business man and study the things and find, that if the writer advise the race to lay aside the prejudices and give the Negro merits a chance, he will be found superior the foreigner and equal to the Gee American white man, the ideal of the Negroes as the -writer of last article. I expect, if it were not some selfish motive or interest in paper, he would have gone still further and attacked the Negro press, on grounds that such as he usually namely: It only comes once a day. All the news is stale, it costs too much. Negro business welcomes and constructive criticism, but it does need the ignorant, prejudiced kind fered by the Raleigh correspondent. A Reason MENACE IN THE NEGRO EXOD (From Richmond (Va.) Evening Journal) Attention is directed to the face and earnest letter to the editor of *Evening Journal*, which appears in adjoining column on this page. It well written, thoughtful and, from Negro's viewpoint, convincing state of the underlying reasons that is the more skillful and thriller workmen to migrate northward. At writer points out, city ordinances prevent the more shiftless and light members of the black race from ing, but unless the true remedy is applied the South will presently find self minus the most desirable work and saddled with only the poorer city of Negro labor. There is a functional truth in what our context emphasizes and it is folly to blank facts. If the flitting continues house dustries are bound to suffer just says. It were unwise to disregard great a menace. Let us probe deep the situation and see where the lies. All who stop to think must take the proposed city ordinance, place prohibitive tax upon labor agencies seek to move Negroes out of the is effective, in that it fails to core of the matter. The Negro does move north because he is of a disposition. He would prefer to in his old home if he could do to wage basis more equitable to him. In the North there is no difference made in the wage scale on the skin color. Here, asserts our correspondent the most invidious difference per and he cites instances that tend to port his argument. If all he is true—and it is easily proof or otherwise—the reason why the self-respecting workman, albeit reluctant, is and the opportunity offered in to sole product—labor to the better Of course, the merriment is mistaken in supposing he will segregated in his living quarters North. That is inevitable. But not—as he now complains in the—he compelled to pay relatively rental for what is the present modations and where manager protection is afforded and inferior facilities. To that extent he isably better his lot and that of children. But why should he have to go to get simple justice? Why don't hands that may be hard to come once they are gone? It seems to the subject is too serious, to work with menace to our local industry he dismissed lightly. The charge commerce could do no better work appoint a committee to investigate grievances of the Negro, decide the proper remedy and see that enforced. Unless such a step as and without loss of time there is a dearth of workmen in Richmond will paralyze our industries. "Does money talk?" "Well, it would seem so. W3 I pass a little of it over to my induces her to keep quiet." -Buffa press. Washington Bureau, The New York Ack, 699 F Street N. W. Jeannette Carter, Manager. WASHINGTON, D. C.—In all of the mail scrawl to serve the Government in these war times it is easy to discover the selfish individual who wants to get as much out of it as he can of cash or advertisement, alongside of the other man who wants to serve the Government "in any capacity," but always reaches up after the easiest thing to be done that pays the best, and who brings all of the influence he can muster to enforce his patriotic claim, while the real patriots, the rank and file, fill up the ranks without much personal consideration as they fill up the trenches, dead or alive, when there is any real fighting to be done. After all, patriotism is a peculiar sentiment, and is reflected in no two persons alike. It is coin war times as in those of peace. It is safe to say that most of us are hustling late and early to serve the government in its hours of trial and tribulations, the colored brother along with the other colors; with this difference, however, that the other colors appear to be getting into the service and on the payrolls of the Government, all of the time, while the colored person has only his ceaseless hustle and the phantom of Hope to cheer him in his efforts. He cannot enlist in "any old regiment" as other colors can, or in the navy, he must accept such service as is made and provided for him; and which the other colors do not want, and create, when they can, and "look pleasant, and smile," all of the time, as the photographers and patriotism to a prominent Democrat to visit Tustin, Ariz. bureau recently, and he said: "Oh, I have a letter in my pocket now, from a per- near the "source from which all good things flow," in which it is said that the "President expresses the desire that the colored people be given some consideration." But I did not see the letter, and looked steadfastly at the colored Democrat, questioningly, who only smiled a sickly smile, and produced not the letter. Ever since the President came here a long time ago we have been hearing it said from time to time, for the purpose of keeping Hope alive, I presume, that the President earnestly desires that something should be done for the colored people. I also think that he so desires but the colored people continue to get very little, when the volume of desires is considered. Perhaps we shall soon begin to realize something from the generous flow of honors and dollars Congress has made vast appropriations for prosecuting the war with Germany. In the meantime, let all of us continue to "hustle while we wait" for some share in it all. If we fail to do so let the blame be upon others and not upon us. It is encouraging to notice in all parts of the city that colored men are being employed in all sorts of heavy outdoor work more now than formerly, and the war and withdrawal of foreign labor may be responsible for it. I find this to be so in street railway repairing in building operations, in carting, in excavation work. We are all glad to see it, as we have an enormous colored laboring population that needs all of that kind of work it can get. I was surprised, however, the other day, to see a colored man, very black bossing the repair work of the traction company at Fourteenth and U streets northwest where the cars operate in six directions, going and coming. He seemed to be an expert mechanician. Well as knew how direct the work alone being done at that point and to signal cars when and when not to move. One motorman undertook to show the black boss "a deep joint" by driving ahead down Fourteenth street without the signal. The black boss stood in the middle of the tracks, in front of his car, and said: "Where you going? Did I signal you to move? You hold that car right where it is, till I signal you." The motorman looked daggers and muttered a lot of things I could not hear, but he held his car where he was told the black boss, meanwhile, paying him no more attention, but looking after the other ends of his work. When it was proper to do so, he turned to the motorman, gave him the signal, and said: "Now you can move." The presumption is that the white motorman is still looking daggers and swearing unutterables, in his mind, as they are a vicious and vindictive lot, and these colored people "just naturally" it appears. But the white man will have to come to it; that is, being bossed by colored foremen, as the giant industrial adjusts itself more and more the rule of the best and most competent of the workers without regard to race or color. Everybody who has any ground is entitled in planting a garden, that as the weather gets pleasant an area in that direction will be very warm. The Women Wage Farmers' Association has many garden plots offered with persons are coming with amenities to purchase the hay seed and plants. The Association will do what it can in this direction for the purpose of adding to the supply of food when it may be most needful as an inspiration to others to do likewise. The Association Commence with a mass meeting at Sunday in June for the purpose of a concert in its work, and preparing a Queen Paganity in order to raise the money needed for its work.

It is not‘ unlike the hundreds of other novelty shops in| Manhattan and Brooklyn, save that the win- dows contain “novelty” pictures “which are an insult to the colored i people of this community. The first picture to meet my gaze ewas that of a black baby in a bath tub, bearing the inscription "HOW INK IS MADE." The next gie- ture to set my blood boiling was labeled “NIGGER MILK," show- ing a little black child nursing from “a bottle of ink, “A NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE” depicting a Negro infant peeping out of a pile of wood was the third artistic con- tribution used to make light of the race that came to my.notice. ? Upon closer inspection I learned that the pictures were copyrighted by the Mars & Bendien Company, New York, but the various local ' directories fail to disclose the pres- _ent whereabouts of the firm. It may be that it has ceased doing “business. Let us hope so. _ Can you imagine how long the show windows of this novelty shop would remain out of harm's way if babies of the Irish race were so maligned and ridiculed? Or if the Jewish or Italian babies were held up to scorn would the people in the novelty shop be permitted to sell . their, wares without becoming in- voluntary principals in some extit- ing and perhaps sanguinary con- _ troversiés ? That shopkeepéFs in New York are brazen-enongh to prominently “display on sale pictures stich as “HOW INK IS MADE,”: NIG- .GER MILK” and “A NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE” is almost inconceivable, but it is being done, “nevertheless, and the novelty shop Tat-1661 Broadway is not the’ only " plice.in Greater New York where these pictures which grossly abuse “gar babyhood may.be seen. gc \'The attention of the Society for Sthe Preveation of Vice, which is ‘active in the suppression of objec- “tionable pictures, is directed to - “HOW INK IS MADE,” “NIG- ‘GER MILK” and “A NIGGER JIN THE WOODPILE.” If the : society fails to see any impropriety in'the vulgar display of these mis- ! ¥epresentations, then drastic meas- ares ought to be taken by ‘the col- “red people of New York to see ‘that they are removed from the ® public's view. THE AFRICAN DODGER BILL. "Concerted effort gets results. This fact has licen clearly demon- strated by the successful fight waged by the colored citizens of New York State against the “Af- rican >a.” Two years ago a "bill wae fntroduced at Albany but failed to win the favorable consid- eration ‘of the lawmakers. At this session of the Legislature the same ‘bill was introduced and passed both branche of the Kegislature. . Readers of Tue Ace will recall , that Senator Gilchrist, of Brooklyn, “ last February,-in declining to cham- pion the measure, informed the dramatic editor of Tae Ace that J iwhile he would’ support it, he would under no circumstances in- ‘ troduce it, as the Negroes had not given him any encouragement two “years igo when he prevailed upon .- his colleagues to pass the measure. ¢ Members of the Legislature, he clared his willingness to stand sponsor for the measure in the lower branch of the Legislature. ‘The race was also fortunate in hav- ing the support of Senate J_eader Elon R. Brown and Speaker Thad- deus C. Sweet. While Tue Ace led in the agi: tation for the passage of the Af- rican Dodger bill, success..was at- tained by members of the rage pull- ing together. Counselor Ruliis "L. Perry, of Hrooklyn, drew up. the measure which was passed just as he wrote it, Organizations and in- dividuals. substantiated the state- ments made in Tur Ace that the Negroes of the State were deeply concerned over the measure becom- ing a law by urging the legislators to vote for it. s At no time was an attempt made to play politics or to "promote selfish ends. And for, once our good white friends were not bothered about lending their support to worthy cause which Negroes shoul have and did bring to a successful conclusion without secking outside aid. ‘The victory achieved in the “Af. rican Dodger” fight furnishes ar object lesson from which muck should be learned. “It is an answer to what the Negro can do wher ae ambitions ‘are buried and all work for a common good.
