VOLUME 33. NO. 4 TEXAS DEPARTMENT SHELLY Black and Tan Poli Conventions—W Policies a (Special to The Galveston, Tex.—Considerabl among colored Republicans here a a statement given out by Chair Council of Texas, after a meeting held at Fort Worth, recently. Galveston, Tex.—Considerable indignation has been expressed among colored Republicans here and in other parts of the State over a statement given out by Chairman Littlefield of the Republican Council of Texas, after a meeting of the leaders of that organization, held at Fort Worth, recently. The statement read as follows: "Texas is a white man's country and government must rest exclusively in the hands of the Caucasian race. The council is composed of white republicans and they will dictate the policies of the party without consulting the members of any other race. We invite all law abiding citizens who accept the above principles of government to vote the ticket and that the policies of the Republican party of Texas are now in the hands of white men and are going to remain there. The Republican party has in times past been prostituted by Negroes being allowed to attend conventions as pawns of white politicians who were seeking office or power within the party. For the past thirty years the progress of the party has been retarded and its development dwarfed by black and tan politicians participating in and attempting to dominate its affairs. FATAL CLASH IN OHIO STEEL STRIKE (Special to Tann New Year Ann) Youngstown, Q.—One Negro is dead, another is in the hospital in a critical condition and several others were injured in a clash between Negroes and foreign born workers at Hubbard last week. Trouble started when the Negroes, who have been working at the Hubbard plant of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company, left the plant. About fifty of them were confronted by a crowd of Roumanians. Which one fired the first shot has not been determined. Shots were fired by both sides, although no foreigners were reported injured. Local police officers, unable to handle the situation, summoned the Trunbull Sheriff's force, and several arrests followed. It is claimed that the Negroes had been permitted to carry weapons "This country must be governed by white Americans who are in sympathy with American traditions and institutions." "The Negro Republicans here unite in condemning this action as a wrong and injustice committed against the whole race and regard it as showing a desire to deprive it of all rights. "These men are Democrats at heart," said one promising Negro Republican, "and they want to drive the colored Republican voters from the party. But this false move will not be approved by the national chairman, Mr. W. H. Hays." I. W. W. PROP FUTILE IN I. W. W. PROPAGANDA FUTILE IN PITTSBURG (Special to Tux New York Adn) Pittsburgh, Pa.—A striking feature of the industrial situation here, precipitated by the steel strike, is the fruitless effort of the Industrial Workers of the World to induce the Negro workmen to side with the strikers by the use of artfully contrived propaganda on the race question. The remarkable part of this effort is that so few of the colored workers have been fooled by it, as the literature circulated is based on facts that would appeal to the race, and it required some level-headed thinking to controvert the arguments used to perceive the dangers involved in the proposition.

The remarkable pa the colored workers have been fo lated is based on facts that would some level-headed thinking to cont receive the dangers involved in the pr Luckily the majority of the Negroes believe firmly in the maintenance of law and order, and have looked to the law and not to mere force for relief from the injustices practiced upon them. Hence this propaganda to induce them to join issues with such organized violence as that urged by the I. W. W., has so far been fruitless of any sub stantial results. Pittsburgh alone has a black population of 26,000, while the district hereabouts have many Negroes, brought from the South in the stress of war work. Agitation has been going on here among the colored residents for months, according to reports to the police, and some fears are expressed that trouble may come to a head in the municipal elections in the city. In the crowded Fifth ward there is a hot three-cornered contest for Alderman among a Negro and two white men. The Negroes for the most part have remained at work where they are employed in the steel mills. Most of them came here as common laborers. They arrived to face crowded housing conditions, which have added to their troubles. One I. W. W. pamphlet bears a picture of the burned body of a Negro boy presented in a fashion as sensational as that in which the steel strikers put out their picture of the crushed head of Mrs. Snellins, the steel striker, martyr I. W. W. and is entitled: "Justice for the Negro; how he can get it." It retains that two lynchings a week have been recorded for years and that even during the war when colored soldiers were "fighting for democracy" ninety-one of their race were lynched at home.

Mc—Superintendent of Schools Charles J. Koch has sent a written retraction to the A. M. E. Ministerial Meeting, declaring that the statement he made to Carl J. Murphy, managing editor of the Afro-American that colored people should seek jobs as great cleaners, rather than as a member of the school board, was "extraneous and irrelevant." The ministers had passed a resolution introduced by Bishop Hurst that a written retraction must be made.

CATHOLICS WORKING FOR RACE SEPARATION (Special to THE New York Act) Baltimore, Md.-Rumor has it that the Josephite Order, with headquarters a Baltimore, will seek to extend its work to colored Catholics of the North Separate colored churches for Boston and Buffalo are said to be in contemplation. Should this be so, some resentment may arise among the colored Catholics of those cities. At the recent meeting of the Catholic bishops in Washington the question of lack of growth of Catholic mission work among the colored people of the South was discussed, after which the matter was referred to a committee for final report. Certain Colored Catholies in Baltimore have exposed alleged prejudicial conditions in th Josephite Order against the education of colored men for the priesthood. This followed what some regard as the forced leaving of William E. Floyd from St. Mary's Seminary. He is now studying for the priesthood at St. Paul, Minn., where he is said to have made a fine impression. This matter of alleged discriminations against colored Catholics have been agitated for years. When the colored Catholic Congress held its last session in Baltimore 25 years ago strong re-resolutions were adopted complaining about alleged discrimination in churches, schools and convents. The resolutions were forwarded to the hierarchy, then in session in Philadelphia. The late Robert N. Wood, who became head of the United Colored Democracy of New York was chairman of the committee on grievances. The late Dr. W. S. Loftin of Washington was then the president and the late Frederick L. McGhee of St. Paul secretary.

The campaign will last one week.

These victims, two of whom were charged with assaults upon women, had been in the custody of the authorities for over ninety days and had been sent from one place to another to evade the mob. Their names were Retious Phifer, Robert Cross and Will Temple. The last named was dying when the mob took him from the hospital. One of the nurses stated that there were some four or five white men who came into the infirmary after the prisoner had been brought there by the police officers to be treated for the wounds inflicted by the officer killed by him (Temple) and declared their purpose of taking the patient's life. The nurse in charge pleaded that he be not killed in the ward where he was confined along with other patients. The murderers acceded that much to the wishes of the nurse, and thereupon hustled their victim out into the back yard of the premises and into one of the wards for Open Air Patients. It was in that little building the murderers shot the defenseless man to death. The policeman who was supposed to stand on guard to protect the prisoner patient offered no resistance to those intruders. The thing happened about 11.30 at night. This was all done on the same night after the lynchings at Hewen Ferry, near Montgomery. An eye witness said that he died the following evening. Three policemen were guarding him. They claimed they were disarmed at 2.30 p. m. One man ran around the house and first five times, after that seventeen more men appeared and dispersed in an orderly manner. Two women were confined in the hospital in labor, the physicians losing one of the children. One woman died of fright. No police nor militia was called and from 2.30 until daylight colored people were terrorized. One innocent man was shot going from his work. Up to date, everything was hanging in the balance and another lynching of an innocent boy was monochromally expected. No one knows whether the murdered man were guilty of the charges made against them, as they had not been tried, in the custody of the law. Many of the colored citizens of Montgomery fuel that they have not had the protection of the law and are MOTON SPEAKS OUT IN HEART OF SOUTH (Special to The New York Acc) TUSKEGEE, ALA.—Accompanied by a party of educators, government agents and business men, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has just completed a tour of the Tennessee Valley in the interests of education for Negroes and the promotion of better relations between white and colored people throughout the state of Alabama. Beginning on Wednesday morning, October 1st, the trip lasted through Saturday, October 4th, and covered a distance of approximately five hundred miles, the most of which was made in automobiles. This method of travel kept the party continuously on the road except for the brief stops for speaking engagements, for meals and for a little sleep.

Fields, of Sheffield, successful undertaker and business man, who donated his private car to the party for the entire trip. The tour began at Huntsville, Ala., and ended at Florence of the same State with addressees by Dr. Moton at thirteen different points in three days. Meetings were held in school houses, churches and the court houses of the four counties visited and in every case the seating capacity was taxed with the crowds of both white and colored people who came to hear the new principal of Truskeeger Institute, and in more than one instance the whites were present in numbers equal to the colored.

Speaking in plain, simple, direct terms he discussed the present situation between the races and proposed to each race what it could do at this time to help to better their relations. Talking directly to the colored people he urged them first of all to be proud of their race; just as proud of their own race, he said, as any white man is of his race. He then called attention to the things in their own race of which the colored people might well be proud. He also stressed the importance of efficiency and reliability, whether in work for white people or for colored people; that a job should be so well done that the employer must say that it could not be better done by any one else. In this way, he said, the race will make itself indis- penisable to any city or any section where it might be found. Referring to the movement of colored people out of the South he said: "I do not advise you to go North; I do not advise you to stay in the South; each man here is of age; you must decide that for yourself; but I do say that for the large majority of my people their best opportunity for progress and development will lie right here in the South, where land can be bought cheaply, where ready employment can be found, and where large fields of undeveloped business opportunity await the man with energy, thrift and foresight." After speaking at length to the colored people he then addressed his remarks directly to the whites present, telling them how they could help to quiet the present unrest and to make the situation better for everybody concerned. In the first place, he said: "If you have any friends among colored people, if you trust them, if you believe in them, let them know it; tell them on." Such a course, he urged, would go a long way to restore confidence among many who law (Continued on Stamped Page) COTTON PRICES AT BOTTOM OF TROUBLE IN STATE OF ARKANSAS Tenants Objected to Unfair Prices Offered—Press Propaganda as to Uprising Termed Ridiculous Reliable advices from the scene of the race troubles in Arkansas show that cotton prices and not any attempt at uprising or insurrection on the part of the Negroes, were at the bottom of the conflict reported last week. The Age took occasion to question whether the news dispatches gave the real facts of the case, and its caution appears to be warranted by a letter given out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. According to this the whole trouble grew out of the same old game so often played by the white planters of the South, in trying to cheat the tenant farmers out of their share of the cotton crop. The correspondent, whose standing is vouchered for by the Association, writes: "The whole trouble, as I understand it started because a Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Ark., was employed by sixty or seventy colored families to go to Elaine and represent them in a dispute with the white planters relative to the sale price of cotton. The rumor is that the planters had organized to settle with the tenants for their cotton on a twenty-five cent basis, when in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Bratton to represent them. A full statement by Mr. Bratton appears in some of the clippings I have sent. "This Federated Union of America is campuflage. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters. The propaganda published in the press about 'Negrodes being armed to kill all white people and take their farms away from them' is too ridiculous to be given any thought." The clipping referred to is from the Themes, Penn, Commercial Appeal, of Friday morning, October 3. According to U. S. Bratton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Negroes, therein quoted, his clients "claimed that it had been impossible for them to obtain itemized statements of accounts or in fact to obtain statements at all, and that the manager was preparing to ship their cotton, they being share croppers and having a half interest therein, off without settling with them or allowing them to sell their half of the crop and pay up their accounts. As we were informed, there were some 65 or 70 of these share croppers who desired us to represent them. If it's a crime to represent people in an effort to make honest settlements, then he has committed a crime. If this is a crime in a country where we have been spending our money, and the lives of our boys to make the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means." CRIME AMONG WHITES IN NORTH CAROLINA CRIME AMONG WHITES IN NORTH CAROLINA Winston-Salem, N. C.-In the Superior Court the jury in the case of J. E. Cline, charged with criminal assault upon a young woman a few weeks ago, was declared guilty in accordance with the bill of indictment, which means that the defendant will be sentenced to electrocution. His counsel, however, has given notice that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. Cline did not go on the stand. The plaintiff's story was to the effect that she resided with her parents near the home of the defendant; that on the morning of the day the assault was made he invited her to ride with him down street, she going to her work; that after leaving in Cline's car he proceeded to go out via Walkertown and on to Madison, regardless of her protest. She charged that she was assaulted twice. Despite the fact that the white man claims that the Negro race is one composed of rapists, there have been noted recently in this State not less than five cases of assault of this character in which white men were charged with the crime, within a period of four weeks.

TEXAS WOMEN URGED TO PAY POLL TAX Houston, Tex.—Mr. E. B. Jackson-Hard, Secretary of the Republican Women Voters' League of Texas, which was organized in Houston, Texas, August, 1918, and who enjoys the distinction of having been the first woman of her race to have been appointed Notary Public by a Governor of Texas, has issued the following statement in support of the payment of the poll tax by both women and men. The Legislature of Texas has wisely given to women a right of franchise—a right to vote. A district judge in Waco, Texas, has recently refused to disturb this Legislative act. There is much that can be said in favor of Women's Suffrage and against Woman's Suffrage. Personally, I believe the greater weight of argument to be in favor of Woman Suffrage. Whatever may be said, it is a fact that the plain law of Texas is that women shall have the right to vote in all primary elections and conventions alike and equal to men. Keeping a law is the best way to have a law enforced. The law requires each woman and man to appear before the State and County Tax Collector and pay for a poll tax receipt or secure an exemption certificate. This must be done between the dates of Oct. 1, 1919 and Jan. 31, 1920, if one would vote in the primaries and conventions and elections during the year 1920. "It is needless for me to emphasize the interest which a presidential campaign greatest as a stimulus for poll tax payment. I prefer to invite the attention of my readers to the educational side of the payment of the poll tax. Many representatices are daily being made as to crowded school conditions, scarcity of teachers, poorly paid teachers, inadquate school facilities and many other phases of our public school system, the lack of which retard and impede the greatest progress and educational development of the voting citizens of tomorrow. When it is considered that one dollar out of the payment of every poll tax goes to the cause of public education, this in itself is sufficient to invite a willing compliance with the law on this subject." McLENDON AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR COUNCIL (Special to The New York Age) New Rochelle, N. Y.—At an enthusiastic meeting of the Negro Welfare League held Tuesday evening Oct. 7th, at League Hall, with Jas. Bulloch presiding it was decided to nominate Dr. P. M. Lendon as an independent candidate for city councilman from the Third Ward. One Hundred and Fifteen Dollars in cash and as much more in subscriptions formed the nucleus for the campaign fund. Speech of endorsement were made by the Rev. J.B. Boddie, the Rev. W. H. Stager and the Rev. C.C. Alleyne. The half was crowded to its capacity. DOINGS OF THE Y.W.C.A.

A. work among colored women. The center in Nashville, though comparatively new, reports over four hundred members. The two block parties held in the interest of the Nashville center reached about three thousand persons. The proceeds from an exhibition of class work held in Bethlehem House, Nashville, were used for the purpose of paying membership fees in the center of fourteen girls who were unable to pay. In the Little Rock, Ark., center, there are thirty-two clubs with an enrollment of 50 girls. During the six weeks of camp life in St. Louis, 552 girls were reached. In Orange, N.

(Countywide from First Page) been made very uneasy by the violence and hindrance from which so many colored people have suffered in these recent days. Another way in which they could help was to see to it that lawbinding, responsible, God-fearing colored people should not be terrorized and made to suffer, for the crimes of a few individuals in the race. To do so was both unjust and unfair, to the white race, and to the black race that could be done protect innocent colored people should be done and would go a long way to hold colored people to the South. And then in language remarkable for its plainness and frankness, he described the abuses to which colored people are subjected to travel in "Jim Crow clerks" from which they have no means of protecting themselves. He said: "When colored people protest against these cars, it is not that they want to associate with white people—as a matter of fact, they very often have a stronger prejudice against associating with white people, in which colored people have more interest with them, and people, but what they do want, its equal accommodations for equal pay. They protest because segregation means almost always inferior service." The trip was notable for the response that came from both races. In the remarks by white people that followed the address of Dr. Moton he was thanked for his visit and commended for his words. Often the regret was expressed that all the white people and all the colored people of the county were not present to hear what he had to say. In other instances he was asked to come back again to speak to larger audiences. After the trip was noted a great success by every member of the party, having as much in mind the cordial hospitality of the places visited as well as the general impression created by the addresses.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is gently twist and twist with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but not any kind of slight motion; not anything else will kink more after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it in its work, that it can be worn on its own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I offer a reward of $100.00 for hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten.

According to the Washington Times; numerous complaints have been made to the Post Office Department against various Negro publications. The burden of these complaints is the allegation that these publications are inciting race hatred. It is further reported that officials of the Department pointed out that the department's hands were tied in forbidding the mails to these publications, because of the lack of an adequate law covering the subject. Several bills have been presented to Congress bearing on this subject, and seeking to amend the law so as to cover news matter of a revolutionary character, said these officials, but no final action had been taken in the matter. The whole matter is said to hinge on how far Congress will go in passing laws to regulate the preaching of the doctrine of social revolution. This charge that Negro publications are inciting race hatred by preaching social revolution seems to be rather far tetched, as the great majority of these papers are steadfast in preaching the maintenance of law and order, as a matter of self-protection. There are so few that preach anything resembling social revolution that their number is negligible. The Negro press as a class is one of the strongest supports of good government. However, when the charge of inciting race hatred is considered, there are many papers published by whites which would seem to comb within this indictment. We do not mean only those lesser lights that directly instigate lynch law and mob violence, but the more pharisaical kind that deprecate such outrages on the editorial page, while deliberately inciting to them on the front page by the use of flaring headlines and sensational accounts of alleged crimes that often were never committed. There is a class of publications inciting race hatred, but it is not composed of Negro publications. THE MOTE AND THE BEAM. It is remarkable with what similarity the leading white news- papers of certain Southern States are pointing to the horrible example of Georgia in exceeding the limits in the matter of lynching. Last week it was the leading paper of South Carolina that we would be deprecating lynch law in Georgia. This week we find the Greensboro Daily News, pub- lished in North Carolina, excoriating the ghastly example of her sister State in this fashion: George appears to be deliberately wilming in the mire. Hardly a day passes now without an account of a lynching in that state. Yesterday's story related to the shooting to death of a Negro who had been convicted of attempted murder and had been sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary by a Georgia court. His victim had not been seriously wounded and the court that Georgia white man had put up fixed the penalty at 10 years. Ob- viciously, if any officer was committed, it was by the court, and the court ought to have been jailed, if the mob had the courage of its convictions. Georgia always apparently does not prosecute against those criminals, predominantly because of their political influence. In other words, Georgia is under the domination of the courts of the white race. When a state reaches that low ebb of civilization, it is not a desirable place of residence for either white man or Negroes. It would not be so bad if Georgia alone were affected. But Georgia is holding back all the South, the contiguous area her infestion invades, touches her neighbors, who are really making an effort to get rid of the plague-spot. The constant reiteration of tales of lynchings in Georgia, like the dropping of water on a stone, wears away respect for the law in North Carolina, and unless we are constantly on our guard, we shall presently be following the ghastly example. We are glad to see that the leading dailies of the South continue to speak out in this manner against the reign of lawlessness. Of course the retort of the Georgia press would probably be that the critics should first pluck the mote out of their own eyes before attempting to cast the beam out of their brother's eyes. But that is a minor matter, so long as there is a genuine effort made to pluck out the mote and cast out the beams. If a genuine sentiment can be aroused among the people of North Carolina against lynching in Georgia, there is liable to be less lynching in North Carolina. It now becomes the duty of the white press of Georgia to protest against lynching and lawlessness in North and South Carolina. A physician in Paris claims to have restored youthful energy to a man of eighty by a process of grafting on the patient a gland from a young chimpanzee. So instead of seeking a fountain of perpetual youth, the modern prototype of Ponce de Leon will strive to make a monkey of himself Propaganda is the shibboleth of the hour. We hear of Socialistic and I. W. W. propaganda, Negro propaganda, and the cables even bring news of Japanese propaganda among the Chinese to create a sentiment against the Western nations, if any more was needed. But the most insidious and dangerous propaganda of all is that put forth through the instrumentality of Negro-hating Southerners to poison public sentiment all over the country. One of Theodore Roosevelt's favorite mottoes was: "Don't talk about what you are going to do do it." And when it was a question that concerned the Negro race, he did it, regardless of the opinion of friend or foe. The drive for a suitable memorial to the memory of this intrepid American is now on. Every member of the race should send a contribution to the headquarters of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, 1 Madison Avenue, New York City. MORE ABOUT SILK SHIRTS. To the Editor of THE NEW York Age: Your editorial headed "A Silk Shirt Story" interested me. Whether the story related was true or not, of course I cannot say, but during the month of June I went to a store in Nassau street, New York city, to buy a collar. While there a young colored man entered, and he asked to see some silk shirts. They were shown to him, and to my utter surprise he bought six at $ each. I did not know the colored man nor his business; he was neatly though not flasily dressed. I have thought much of this matter since that time, and your editorial causes me to write this. I do not know whether this is an exceptional occurrence or not. Maybe he could afford it; then maybe he could not. GIVES THE AGE FIRST PLACE.

A more malice spread. It is only a part of the problem against the Negro in this county all of the repressive measures the investigation of the Arkansas riots with warriors were organized for the sole purpose with their landowners for crops to hire a white lawyer, a man named an order to secure such a settlement out in jail. Of evidence worth considering has charge that these men were banded to order. The constitution and by-lawation have been seized and the officer found which before any civilization in the Progressive Farmers and Howeful body. The purpose of the order constitution, was to make "better form" of a page to the "literature" which are arrested by soldiers had in their "Practically every Negro arrested" the soldiers who were called to the scene of the propaganda. Among them is a copy of a song believed by officer of the Union. The song was indicated that it was to be sung to the land." The prints the song in full. There is "generous" of these stanzas runs as follows: "To firmly stand against the wrong. Organize, oh, organize!. Your only hope is union strong. Organize, oh, organize! To break the bonds of slavery. That binds you now from sea to sea. And from oppression to be free. Organize, oh, organize. As good a farmer's song as could be it that could be reasonably construed. The second stanza, which we quote whole song: The propaganda has gone out and the country has taken it for a fact that the riots in Arkansas were brought about through a secret organization formed by colored farmers in that State for the purpose of massacring the white. A more malicious and unfounded lie was never spread. It is only a part of the propaganda which is now being directed against the Negro in this country for the purpose of justifying all of the repressive measures that might be taken against him. An investigation of the Arkansas riots will show that these colored farmers were organized for the sole purpose of obtaining a fair settlement with their landowners for crops and labor. They went so far as to hire a white lawyer, a man named Bratton, to represent them in order to secure such a settlement; and that white lawyer was put in jail. Not a bit of evidence worth considering has been produced to support the charge that these men were banded together to commit wholesale murder. The constitution and by-laws and all the papers of the organization have been seized and the officers arrested, yet nothing has been found which before any civilized court of justice would convict the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of being an unlawful body. The purpose of the organization, as set forth in the constitution, was to make "better farmers and better citizens." The Arkansas Gazette of Little Rock in its issue of October 10 devotes a quarter of a page to the "literature" which members of the Union who were arrested by soldiers had in their possession. The Gazette says, "Practically every Negro arrested by the sheriff's deputies and the soldiers who were called to the scene had among his possessions some of the propaganda. Among the papers found on one Negro was a copy of a song believed by officers to have been the 'rallying song' of the Union. The song was not set to music, but a remark indicated that it was to be sung to the air of 'Maryland, My Maryland.'" The Gazette prints the song in full. There are four stanzas The most "dangerous" of these stanzas runs as follows: The song is as good a farmer's song as could be written. There is not a line in it that could be reasonably construed into anything like a conspiracy. The second stanza, which we quote below, gives the tone of the whole song: If you would come into your own.

Has anything worse ever been done in darkest Russia or any other part of the world? THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER CRIES "STEADY!" The Montgomery Advertiser in a recent issue makes a lengthy editorial comment on the race situation in the city of Montgomery, Alabama. It opens by saying that there is one word which it would earnestly impress upon every class and color in the city. The word it gives is "steady." We take it that the Advertiser wishes to impress the sense of self-restraint on the community. That is well and good; but the Advertiser reveals that it is afraid to preach its sermon through logically. It finds itself in the position of many other newspapers, both in the North and the South, that recognize what is true and right and just, yet are afraid to state it clearly and without reservations. The Advertiser early in its article neutralizes all that it starts out to say by plainly stating that when a colored man assaults a white woman, white men are justified in lynching him. What is the use of condemning lynching and in the same breath admitting that the lyncher is justified in what he does? It is on this very point that the Negro takes higher ground than does the average, Southern white man. When the Negro protests against lynching he does not do so as a condonation of rape or any other crime. He is as ready as anybody else to see the full extent of the law meted out to the criminal, but he wants to see it done only after a fair trial before the duly constituted courts of law. But the average Southern white man who deplores lynching is at the same time ready to justify it if the victim is a colored man charged with committing an "assault"—it need not be rape—on the person of a white woman. In order for the white man to reach the high ground taken by the Negro on this question he needs to be able to say that the law should be enforced against the lawbreaker who is a lyncher as well as against the lawbreaker who is a criminal. The Advertiser says: All right thinking people solemn truth, with the case there are attempts at on white women there America, when there are of moralizing will not afflict is neither an attack, but it is the statement o All right thinking people deplore lynching, but it is wise to utter, a solemn truth, with the old, old lesson brought home again, as long as there are attempts at rape by black men, red men, or yellow men on white women there will be lynchings. Lynchings will end in America, when there are no longer attempts at assault. A volume of moralizing will not affect this primal, immovable fact. This statement is neither an attack, or an apology of any character for lynching; it is the statement of an elemental, primal fact. The legal or social reformer who would end lynching without consideration of this fact—who would, for instance, consider the violence in Montgomery of Monday, without also dwelling upon the series of incidents that caused, is engaged in futile and fateful work. We want to credit the editor of the Advertiser with being a man of, at least, average intelligence, but it is difficult to do so if we take in earnest his words quoted above. Does he not know that saying, "Lynchings will end in America when there are no longer attempts at assault," is equivalent to saying that lynchings will NEVER end in America? The crime of "assault" is as old as the human race. In fact, THE ARKANSAS MOAX there was a time in the history of man when it took the place of what we now term a proposal for marriage. It is not going to be stamped out absolutely by legal or illegal hanging or even by burning at the stake. The only thing that will reduce this crime is the right kind of education. For as long as there are degenerate men in the world there will be "assaults" on women. Normal men, according to present standards, do not commit this crime. The problem before society is the abolishment of the causes which lead to and breed degeneracy. What we say above applies to all men, white as well as black. Indeed, it applies to white men more strictly than it applies to black; for contrary to the propaganda which is being so widely spread, white men are more addicted to the crime of rape than black men. To substantiate this assertion, we give the following comparison: In the five-year period, 1914-1918, according to available figures, there were 324 Negroes lynched in the United States, exclusive of those killed at East St. Louis, and of this number only 28 were lynched on the charge of rape. On the other hand, in one year (1917) in New York County, which is only a part of New York City, the Grand Jury indicted 230 white men for rape in all degrees, 37 of them for rape in the first degree. That is, in one part of New York City, in one year, 9 more white men were indicted for rape than all the Negroes lynched on that charge in the United States during a period of five years. And it must be remembered that the Grand Jury of New York County requires more evidence to indict a man on the charge of rape than a mob requires to lynch a Negro accused of that crime. Of course the above figures do not take in account the number of Negroes who may have been legally indicted on the charge of rape, but we believe after that is done, if the figures for the white man in all the great cities of the country were added to those of New York the Negro's reputation as a rapist would dwindle into insignificance. Now, the editor of the Montgomery Advertiser knows or ought to know that lynchings are not going to stamp out rape. He knows, or ought to know, when he says, "Lynchings will end in America when there are no longer attempts at assault," that he is simply encouraging mob lawlessness. If he wants to do what is best for Montgomery and Alabama and the whole country, he ought to rise to the level of the colored people and demand that the law be enforced TO THE LIMIT against criminals who are rapists and against criminals who are lynchers.

The appeal is signed by such men as Anatole France, Henri Barbusse and Albert Thomas. The document, which was issued in Paris by the committee of Jewish delegations to the Peace Conference, was sent to America a few days ago. The text, in part, reads as follows: A cry of despair and poignant sorrow comes to us from eastern Europe: Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Galacia, Rumania; an entire people appeals desperately to us for help. The Jews, who have lived in eastern Europe for centuries, have become the innocent and pitiful victims of all the national, political and social strife. Compared with the recent atrocities, the pogroms under the Czar, the massacre at Kishenev, were as the play of children. A whole people is threatened, in its existence in the midst of civilized Europe, and when the dawn of the new era gives to the world a charter of liberty and of justice. Thus do these crimes dishonor not only the people who commit them, but outrage the reason and the conscience of humanity. The undersigned appeal to the people of the world and ask that they lift their voice against the unheard of crimes of which a people under the heavens are victims. That such an appeal should be sent to the United States while the anti-Negro pogroms of Washington, Chicago, Knoxville, Omaha and Arkansas are still fresh news is the quintessence of irony. We wonder if the leading literary and public men of France have not heard that there are people in the United States itself who are engaged in the pogrom business. If they have, it seems that they ought to realize that this country ought to be left to handle its own pogrom problem before taking on any outside responsibilities. But, perhaps, these wise men of France realize that America will be more ready to raise its hands in holy horror and its voice in loud protest at the pogroms going on in Poland and Lithuania and Ukrania and Galacia and Rumania than it will be to do anything about the pogroms going on in its own borders.

Sufferers usually use liniments and plasters sometimes dangerous habit-forming drugs—just to get temporary relief from the pain. Those parts of the body affected are burnt and blistered, but the trouble returns with even greater severity than before. In some cases rest and medicinal baths are advisable, but not always is this mode of treatment possible.

PHILADELPHIA FURLE IN MITTSURG (Continued from First Page) New York city average $20 a week less than those of white men in similar tasks. "Throughout this land of liberty, so-called," says the pamphlet, "the Negro worker is treated as an inferior; he is underpaid in his work and overcharged in his rent; he is poked about, cursed and spat upon; in short, he is treated, not as a human being, but as an animal, a beast, of burden for the ruling class. When he tries to improve his condition he is shoved back into the arms of degradation and poverty and told to 'keep his place.' "He has, however, one weapon the master class fears—the power to hold his arms and refuse to work for the community until he is guaranteed fair treatment. Remember how alarmed the South became over the emigration of colored workers two years ago and what desperate means were used to try to keep them from leaving the mills and cotton fields? "The only power of the Negro in his power is a worker; his one weapon is the strike. Only by organizing and refusing to work for those who abuse him can he put an end to the injustice and oppression he now endures. "Most labor organizations, however, shut their doors to the colored people. The American Federation of Labor includes him from an end of its values as an inferior. In those to which he is admitted he is treated as an inferior. The Negro has no chance in the old line trade unions. They do not want them. They admit him only under conditions and treat him with contempt. Their officials who discourage strikes for higher wages or shorter hours are always ready, as in the case of the switchmen's union, to permit a strike to prevent the employment of colored men." "This narrow minded policy of excluding the Negro from the trade unions of the country forces him to become a strike breaker against his will by closing legitimate occupations to him. The consequence is racial conflicts such as the frightful tragedy in East St. Louis in 1917. "There is one international labor organization in this country that admits the colored worker on a footing of absolute equality with the whites—the Industrial Workers of the World." The pamphlet then offers the Negro absolute equality in the ranks of the I. W. W. and pleads that the organization aims for more than a mere "less work and more pay." 10 Prescott St, Jersey City, N.

There is no denying the fact that “flello, 1919,” made a we with Harlemsheatregoers from the start, and from all indications it is bound to make many friends during its two weeks’ sojoprn at the-Lafay- ette. The personnel of the company reminds old. Lafayette Theatre pa- trons of the Darktown Follies, for in the cast and chorus are young! women and men who contributed largely to the success of J. Leubrie Hill's musical production of a few years ago. There are Evon Rob- inson, Will Brown, Alice Ramsey, Ethel Williams, Tiny Ray and oth- _£s.who.seem to improve, like wine, | with age. Added to this galaxy of erstwhile Dafktown* Follies entertainers are Frank Montgorhery, Florence Mc- Chain, Will Gulfport, Dyke Thom- as, Ethel Waters and the best look- ing bunch of chorus girls seen in Harlem for some time, which makes a combination that is a winner. Frank Montgomery appears on the program as writer of ‘book, lyrics and music, besides staging the production, and in the last réle he covers himself with glory. He shows both originality and’versatil- ity in the putting on of songs and ~dances, and there is an abundance of pep and dash in “Hello, 1919,” from start-to finish, In the finale of the first act the entire company leaves the stage in “Shimmie and Jazz” and walks down the aisles of the orchestra. In the last act sev- eral of the chorus girls are sent again: on a similar mission with musical accompaniment, which is} overdoing it a bit. Will Gulfport, Dyke Thomas and Frank Montgomery furnish most of the comedy in trousers, but they have a rival in skirts in the person of Ethel Waters, who makes a fa- vorable impression as a comedi- enne. She also knows how to ren- der a song effectively. ‘When a comedian can come out % few minutes before the end of the last act and single handed take sev- en encores he is some entertainer, and that is what Gulfport did Mon- day evening. He also contributed largely to the fun-making’ in spots throughout the show as did Dyke Thomas, whose clever dancing is well known to many Harlemites. There is not a more attractive young colored woman in the show business than Florence McClain, whose physical ‘charms in “Hello, 1919,” are more pronounced than ever. Miss McClain has plenty of| work to do—singing and talking— all of which she docs in a very creditable’ manner, Will Brown is one of the best straight men.of the race, but there are times that he is not accorded the’ distinetion which :he so justly nicrits.- In “Hello, 1919." he is at his best and whether in dialog |} or song pleases, His best work is with Alice Ramsey and Ethel Waters. © * Alice Ramsey has one of the big], musical hits of the show in "Bay Boy,” and Evon Robinson, looking |. just as comely as ever, and in good |' voice, is the center of attraction in one of the prettiest picture num-|; ders.

The colored women of America owe Mrs. Curtis and her co-workers a debt of gratitude for their part in the recent war.
