Phoenix Protective League And Local Branch N. A. A. C. P. Consolidate $500,000 Corporation Formed By Colored Men PHOENIX VOLUME II. NO.19 PROTECTIVE LEAGUE ABSORBED BY LOCAL BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. Monday night the members of the Phoenix Protective League met at Douglas school and voted to disband the League and join the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Both organizations were working for one and the same purpose, i.e., the advancement of the race, and it was argued that one strong organization could do more good than two or three small ones. Furthermore, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has the support of the main association, which represents a total membership of more than 70,000. This merger brings together all law-abiding colored citizens of this community and is considered one of the wisest movements ever made by the citizens of Phoenix. Representative business men head the organization and it bids fair to become a strong factor for good in this section. It starts out with a large member ship and a fat treasury—two things that mean success to any organization if properly conducted. We are pleased to see our people come together and trust that much good will result from this combination of forces. In union there is strength. Let each of us strive to make the Phoenix branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an organization of which we may feel justly proud and one that will reflect credit upon the race both, here and elsewhere. The meetings of the Association will be held the first Tuesday in each month at the Douglas school building. The Phoenix Protective League, the defunct organization, was started only a few months ago and has done much to advance the interests of our people and bring about a, more friendly relation between the two races. Upon recommendation of the League, several worthy members of the race have been placed in responsible positions and a number of important measures were pending action before the body. This work will be taken up by the Association and pushed to a successful conclusion. Even greater things than those accomplished by the League will be expected of this strong organization. Excelsior is the watchword of the Association and by co-operation, push, zeal, enthusiasm and down-right hard work, it will strive to lift the race to a higher plane. This Lady Adopted A Little Colored Child By Mistake (By Associated Negro Press) ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 4.—Mrs. Marion Blake, who said she lived in Albany, adopted a two weeks' orphan laby in New York yesterday. At the same time she left in the office of Dr. Mary Halton at 17 East Thirty-eighth street a five months' old Negro baby which she said she had legally adopted when it was but a few days old. At the time she did not know the child had Negro blood in its veins and she was heartbroken when she learned the real fact and knew that she would have to part with the little one, to whom she had become greatly attached. The story reads more fiction-like than real facts. Dr. Halton advertised Tuesday in a New York paper that a home was wanted for an infant girl, two weeks old. The parents died of pneumonia a few days after the child's birth. There were no relatives. Dr. Halton made herself responsible for the little orphan. When the doctor arrived at her office, a woman who said she was Mrs. Marion Blake, was waiting. She appeared to be troubled. In her arms she carried a baby whose skin was dark. "I am a widow of comfortable means," she said, "and live with my mother in Altany. For years I had one servant girl. A year ago she married a soldier, but came back to us when he sailed for France. "A few days before she gave birth to a child, she received word her husband died in a French hospital. Liberty And Equality For Caucasians Only Says Eminent Journalist (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 4.—The editor of the Messenger Magazine held up by Postmaster General Burleson, held a meeting of protest in this city at which Rev. Norman Thomas, editor of the World Tomorrow, told the gathering that he spoke to them out of a sense of shame for his country and race. He said that the underlying hypocrisy which has lamentably characterized this 'democracy' might be traced to its attitude through two centuries toward the Negro. "We got away to a bad start," said Thomas. "We whispered in asides that the doctrines of 'liberty and equality' went only for white foils." Thomas said it was part of the capitalist program continually to fan the fires of race hatred. This, he said, has made possible the exploitation of "poor whites" in the cotton mills of the South. Lieut. M. Coulson, member of the Messenger staff, who returned recently from France with the Bison Division, apologized for appearing before the meeting in "the uniform of that strong arm of capitalism—the army." There are, he said, 15,000 "disillusioned Negro soldiers who went abroad to fight for the perpetuation of democracy and returned to find that it had disappeared completely from their home." A REPRESENTATIVE MEETING TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 4.—Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Jews, Caucasians and Negroes were represented at the meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held at the First Congregational church at Division avenue and South J street. William Pickens, dean of Morgan College of Baltimore, the principal speaker, and County Prosecuting Attorney W. D. Askren presided at the meeting. The shock killed her. She died as the child was born. For years I had wanted to adopt a child and I took her baby. 'The baby was small and plump, reddish, as new-born infants usually are, and had bright, pretty brown eyes. I adopted her legally and had her christened "Bartara." The loves of both my mother and myself were glorified by the advent of the little orphan. Every day found the tiny mite occupying more and more room in our hearts. "It was when she was three months old that we first noticed that her skin seemed to be growing darker each week. Neither my mother nor myself put our fear into words, however, until the baby was four months old. "Finally, I took her to a hospital for an examination; I had to go home and tell my mother that Barbara was a colored baby. "The last month has been one of agony. She is five months old now, and I realized that sooner or later I must give her up. It would eventually bring unhappiness to all concerned and the most unhappiness of all to herself. "When I read that you had an infant girl for adoption, I thought perhaps if I had another baby near me it would be easier to part with mine." Little Barbara was passed from the arms of her foster-mother to Dr. Halton. Mrs. Blake sobbed as she said: "I can't see her again." She turned her head away to gaze from a window with eyes that could not see. Then into the empty arms of Mrs. Blake the doctor quietly placed the tiny unnamed white child. Long minutes passed before the "mother" looked at the dainty little bundle in her arms. Tears fell silently on the babe's white dress. At last the woman gazed reluctantly upon the wee face, snuggled against her heart, and into the blue eyes of her own race she smiled through her tears. Dr. Halton is concerned today about Barbara. That the drama may end happily for all, little 'Bab,' too, must find a home, Dr. Halton said. "Somewhere in New York there must be good Colored people who want her. I want to find a good home for her with her own people." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY SOUTHERN BLACKS CAN NOW PURCHASE TICKETS FOR NORTH (Special to the Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—For some weeks the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, both through its New York headquarters and through its Cleveland Branch, of which Mr. Harry E. Davis is Chairman of the Legal Committee, has been carrying on correspondence with the United States Railroad Administration in regard to the refusal of their officers to sell prepaid tickets from points south. The matter was first brought to the attention of the Association when the United States railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, refused to sell to the Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church of that city, a ticket from Madison, Ala., to Cleveland, which Mr. Bailey desired to send to his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Beadle. The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket, saying that an order had been issued by the director general against such practice on the ground that it was "encouraging labor to come North." A letter of inquiry was sent from National Headquarters to Director General Hines, and at the same time Mr. Davis, chairman of the Legal Committee of the Cleveland branch, wrote Senator Warren G. Harding and Congressman H. I. Emerson regarding the matter. Through the combined efforts of the national office, the Cleveland branch, Mr. Harding and Mr. Emerson, the rule has been abrogated and beginning August 1 prepaid tickets can be obtained from any ticket office. Following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Davis: July 29, 1919. Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dear Sir: I have just been advised by Senator Harding that the rule regarding the sale of prepaid tickets from points South, which has been in force for some time, has been abrogated by the U. S. Railroad Administration. Effective: August 1st, 1919. very truly, Signed) HARRY E. DAVIS, Chairman, Legal Committee, Cleveland Branch, N. A. A. C. P. A WOMAN'S PLAN TO PUT A STOP TO MOB VIOLENCE A WOMAN'S PLAN TO PUT A STOP TO MOB VIOLENCE (By Associated Negro Press) NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 4.—"Nothing was ever accomplished without blood-shed, and it may be necessary that a few should die to serve the nation." That sentiment, expressed by the Rev. Florence Randolph, Jersey City, president, was given long applause at the opening of the convention of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, at the Mt. Zion Baptist church yesterday. She continued: "If every time a colored man is lynched, several other colored men would learn to die with him, and carry as many white men as possible with him—above or below, whichever place they might go—the white people of the South would step their lynchings. They ought to take company along, whichever way they go. It's going to happen. There's to be bloodshed. The country must be prepared for it. And out of it all we're going to get our civil rights." The discussion started when W. W. Asby, executive secretary of the Newark Urban League, spoke of the Washington riots. He said: "I deplore mob violence. The spirit of vandalism should be changed to other channels, but when one crowd has always been kicked around, I can't help endorsing it. The Negroes have learned that by getting together they can terrify others. So far, I know they came out about even in the thing, anyway." "Conditions have been getting PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUGUST 9, 1919 (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Illinois, July 28.-The scene of riot has shifted from Washington, the nation's capital, to Chicago, America's greatest cosmopolitan city, and regarded everywhere as the world's greatest center of race progress. Sunday afternoon, a colored lad was bathing in Lake Michigan, near the beach at East 29th street. The day was hot and tens of thousands of Chicago's population were seeking relief from the heat in the cooling waters of Lake Michigan. This lad was on a raft and a white ruffian through a stone and knocked him into the water, where he drowned before being rescued. The attention of white policemen was immediately called to the ruffian, but the policeman refused to arrest the man, whereupon the crowd became angered and in a short time began to "clean up" the place. The man accused of the crime is Augusta Strauber. Finally he was arrested by two Colored detectives, Middleton and Scott. The news of the crime scattered like wildfire. Hundreds rushed from the beath in their bathing costumes, hurrying to places of shelter, while others hurried to their nearby homes for revolvers and rifles. And in less than an hour, there was a general battle, in which more than one hundred whites were injured by weapons of various kinds. The news of the strife spread to every section of the Southside and at several points such as 31st and State, 35th and State, 39th and State, thousands of people gathered and talked in low tones over the situation. Between sunset Sunday night and early Monday morning, there were more than a dozen lights in which more than two hundred were injured, some fatally, the majority of them being white, and a score of the policemen. Hundreds of police reserves and four hundred mounted police were called out Sunday night to quell the disturbance. Chief of Police Garrieet, his assistant, Alcock, Mayor Thompson and leading organizations of people of both races are doing all possible to restore peace. Much damage has been done by both races to street cars; colored men and women beating up white people on cars running through the Southside district, while whites have been furious in their treatment of Colored people on street cars running through Wentworth avenue, and Halsted street, and on cross lines. Mayor Thompson declared conditions are very serious and must be carefully studied to get the cause of the trouble and the means of correcting it at once. It is claimed by some that more than two thousand Springfield rifles with considerable ammunition are in the hands of the colored people on the Southside. This statement is denied by Alderman R. R. Jackson, colored, and others. However, it is well known that the majority of the people are strongly armed. worse," the president commented. "We thought that after the war, they might get better, but they didn't. Why, they lynched three men in one Southern town as a celebration for the signing of the armistice." The Rev. Harvey Onque said, "If bloody lynchings do not stop, the United States is gone, and gone forever." Mrs. M. E Lawton, president of the New York Colored Women's Clubs, said: "The federal government regulated our food and could even go in and take our sons out to fight without leave or license. For what? Democracy? No, hypocrisy. That would be nearer it. "Our own country was the most barbarous of all the civilized countries. What did the Germans have on us? They did things on a larger scale, that's all. The handwriting on the wall can be seen now. "I am thankful to say that our Colored boys all came back to marry our own Colored girls. A good many thought they would fall over themselves to get the French girls. Well, they can get anything in their own race from alaktaster to ebony. They don't have to go outside for their wives." "The white people think we want social equality. We don't. We're content with our own society. We don't want white people to invite us into tehir homes, because we're not going to invite them into ours." TRIBUNE GEORGIA RACE MEN LAUNCH $500,000 BUSINESS CONCERN SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 4.—A Negro business corporation capitalized at half a million dollars, has just been organized by men prominent in the affairs of the Wage Earners Savings Bank and allied interests of Savannah, Ga. A merger will be effected at once by which the big corporation will absorb the holdings of smaller institutions at interest. The new corporation will erect a modern hotel, theatre and department store in a single great structure, which with the present splendid bank building, will occupy the entire block on West Broad street opposite the Union Station, between Alice and Wayne streets. With the acquisition this week of the remaining portion of the block containing five stores at a cost of $75,000.00, to the total present valuation of the property of the Wage Earners interests approximates $250,000.00. The modern fire-proof hotel of one hundred rooms, with its dining rooms, parlor and public service appointments, together with the department store building, which will adjoin it immediately south, will cost approximately $200,000.00 The new Theatre · Auditorium, which will stand at the most commanding point of the big property at the southeast corner of West Broad and Wayne streets, will eclipse all former projects of its kind in quality, architectural design and equipment. It is expected to embody the very latest ideas in every feature of its construction and design and its furnishings and dramatic conveniences will make it the peer of playhouses south of Washington. The building and its appointments will cost about $100,000.00. The promoters are already associated and interested in the big Theatrical Syndicate recently launched by Brown and Stevens, bankers of Philadelphia, and the Savannah playhouse will be put upon the Syndicate's circuit and will feature all prominent Negro stage stars of the country, including the famous Lafayette Players and noted vaudeville actors. The Department Store, which will be one of the principals in the big group, will embrace several lines of the mercantile business, including dry goods, fancy groceries, shoes and furniture departments, besides a drug store and soda fountain. As the property stands today, there are eight stores embracing two laundries, a grocery store, a restaurant, a jewelry store, a fruit store and real estate office and apartments, used as a hotel, besides the new bank building erected six years ago. The new buildings will be started as soon as present pending leases expire. It is planned to have the completed structure conform in architectural design to the present beautiful bank building of buff brick and stone, and the entire structure will present a single symmetrical unit in plan and purpose. It is stated by President L. E. Williams, of the Wage Earners Savings Bank, and promoter, that money for financing the big deal represents capital of Savannah Negroes and is already in sight. Several prominent Negroes have subscribed for blocks of stock in $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 lots. The Wage Earners' Savings Bank, with assets of a million dollars, is the largest Negro banking institution in the world. It began twenty years ago with a capital of $102.00, and has paid an annual dividend of 12 per cent for the past fifteen years. At public outtery several weeks ago the stock of this bank, with a par value of $10.00 per share, brought $26.00 per share, representing a premium of 160 per cent. Its officers and directors are of that splendid line of self-made Negro business men who are doing the pioneer service of Negro business in the South. It has over 15,000 depositors. The bank has made large investments in modern residence and business real estate in New York, Wash- Great Opportunity For Young Men And Women Of The Race Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, has issued an appeal in a recent number of his publication, asking for four or five young men or women to join the staff of the Recorder, to learn the newspaper business. This leads us to venture the suggestion that there is a very wide and undeveloped field among our people, not only for supporting papers which are already established and making them stronger, but also opportunities for enterprising and ambitions young men and women of the race to get on the staffs of these papers, begin humbly and learn the business from the bottom up. Certainly, a very permanent good can come from such a move as has been started by Dr. Wright, if it should be extended to other papers. It would be a privilege for any young man or woman to work with Dr. Wright or such men as Dr. Robert E. Jones, Messrs. Abbott and Anderson, of the Defender; Mr. B. J. Davis of the Independent; Mr. Young, of the Journal and Guide; Messrs. Lester Walton and James W. Johnson of the New York Age, and many other capable and efficient editors of successful Negro weeklies. Unless there is some well directed effort to replace the ranks of the present Negro editors with promising and intelligent material, we shall have a very depressing outlook for the future. Within the past few years schools of journalism for young white men and women have sprung up all over the country. They are turning out each year an army of trained young people who have prepared themselves to assume the responsibilities leading up to the place of the present editors as well as helping the present organizations extend their influence and usefulness. Nothing definite, however, is being done to prepare the Negro boy for the same responsibilities on his papers. It is unfortunate, of course, that the colored papers are unable to offer very inviting salaries to such young men and women, but to those who are sincerely ambitious to attain success as newspaper writers they should be willing to secure other work and do their studying and writing in the evenings and at ciff-hours. Certainly wherever there is a real ambition to achieve success in this line, some way will be found to seize whatever opportunities may be given them to work side by side with successful editors. Another fact which would seem to encourage this movement: It appears to us that we, as a race, are undoubtedly achieving more real progress than is being recorded in the daily, weekly and monthly papers, and the loss which we sustain by not having the individual achievements of the race recorded can hardly be estimated. Something can be done in a very definite and positive way to preserve these achievements of our race and to give them to the world. This fact alone should increase the number of young men and women each year who associate themselves with successful Negro papers. Of course, we understand that every individual is not blessed with an "ear for news," but training, contact, and careful observation of methods employed by successful newspaper men will certainly help many of our young people to develop into writers of promise.

Mitchell Palmer, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the governors of seven states, including Governor A. H. Roberts of Tennessee, every living ex-attorney general of the United States, the heads of California, Illinois, Princeton, Western Reserve, Fisk and Vanderbilt universities, Charles W. Eliot, Elihu Root, Charles Evans Hughes, J. R. Bingham of Mississippi, and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. The address to the nation is an outcome of the National Conference on Lynching which was held in New York city May 5 and 6 last. "The people of the United States suffer justly under the grievous charge that they continue to tolerate mob murder," says the address. "In the year 1918 no less than 67 persons were done to death without trial or any process of law, having been denied the right to a day in court accorded by the federal and state constitutions to all citizens. "It is well known that the innocent with the guilty suffer the cruel inflictions of mob violence. Mobs have even invaded court rooms and prisons to seize and murder prisoners whose punishment had already been fixed. Early in 1919, a hospital was invaded by a mob, and the attack resulted in death from shock of a patient that day operated upon. "Patriotic citizens throughout the country feel the shame which lynchings cast upon the nation, but they have assumed partial responsibility for this shame by their silence and their acquiescence. The time has now come when citizens of the United States can no longer contemplate without protest the setting at nought of the fundamental principles upon which their citizenship is based. "The undersigned, therefore, as citizens of the United States, without sectional or party bias, with the interest only of the Republic at heart, urge all public-spirited men and women to oppose with all their power the recurrence of the crime and the shame of mob murder; they urge the governors of the several states to do all that is possible to prevent and punish lynching; they pledge their support to the officers of the law who, in the face of mob excitement, discharge their duties; and they urge upon the Congress of the United States nation-wide investigation of lynching and mob murder to the end that means may be found to end this scourge." Among the southern signers of the address are Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland, former attorney general of the United States; George M. Bailey, editor of the Houston Post; William M. Hunley of Lexington, Va., secretary Southern Race Commission; William S. Sutton, dean of department of education of the University of Texas. Among the signers from New York are the editors of the Evening Post, the Independent, the Public, the New York Age, the New Republic, the Nation, the Survey, the Crisis, the publisher of the New York Times, and the presidents of the Bar and Merchants' associations. Thomas E. Campbell, governor of Arizona, is one of the western signers of the address.

RACIAL OUTBREAKS The Chicago race riots are over and we trust that there may be pho recurrence of them anywhere in the country. The Chicago trou- ble seems to have been something more than a color riet—not an outbreak between Negroes and white American citizens, but one be- tween Negroes of the lower class and white foreigners of an equally low class. Such a thing could not break out in many cities. It is probable. though, when the lower classes of both races are in juxtaposition as they were in the vicinity of the Chicago stock yards, sueh outbreaks may be expected. We have had inany such race riots in this country hetween white Americans and white foreigners and always it was shown that the original rioters, hoth Americans and foreigners, be- longed to the same social stratum, which was a pretty low one. F Naturally, there should be no confliet between the American white and the Negro. The well ordered of both races tread different paths. They may run parallel, but they should not impinge. The white may, if he chooses, feel a sense of superiority, but he need not offensively assert it. The Negro admits the superiority of the white’s opportunities which have left him at this stage superior. But the Negro has come far and swiftly in a generation and a half from the depths of slavery and ignorance and he Jooks forward with a confi- denee to a time when he will catch up with the white. He knows that that is not a matter of years or even of a generation and he is willing to wait, As long as both white and Negro each knows his place and knows: that his intrusion upon the other will be resented, there will be no trouble between them, and a good way to avoid trouble is for each to refrain from discussion of their racial peculiarities. A good thing not to talk about in mixed companies of Negroes and whites is the race riot and a good thing not to dwell upon is the difference between the two races. A good thing not to do is to “start something.” —Ari- zona Republican, The above editorial from one of Avizona’s leading daily news- papers has aroused favorable comment among some of our leading colored citizens. They seem to think it strikes the nail squarely upon the head. Perhaps it does, but we view the situation in a different light. However, we shall be guided by the advice of the eminent journalist and refrain from further discussion of the matter. We agree with the writer when he says: “The white may, if he chooses, feel a sense of superiority, but he need not offensively assert if,’ Anyone may think whatsoever he chooses, so loug as he does not THINK OUT LOUD. THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE RIOT More important than the action of the authorities in quelling rave riots is the attitude of the individual in preventing them. The country is #nquestionably confronted with a dangerous situation. There is reason to believe that the race riots in Chicago jand Washington are part of the deliberate plan to promote trouble in this country. OF course where rioting does break out, the rioters of what- ever race or color should be handled with impartial severity. The man who takes part in mob activity is a menace to the public safety. whichever side he represents. But much can be done to prevent the spread of racial feelings if individuals will preserve a fair attitude of mind ‘and refrain in their homes and in publie from’ excited or exciting speech’ Racial antipathy can never be swept away, but it need not degenerate into race riots. Ii is possible for a man who himself would abhor rioting or mob rule to precipitate it by expressing violent sentiments in the hearing of dhe man who tends to be a disturber, It is up to the etter class of individuals of all races to hold in check their own lautipathies, to inspire by precept and example those less apt to xercise self-control. A Jight brgeze will fan a small blaze into a consuming fire. A chauce word or reckless act may precipitate a battle in which lives ve lost and property is destroyed.—Arizona Gazette.

The “Song of Hate” was never more biterly rendered on either side, but while the entire community ‘gets the discredit, the singing on both sides has been by the minority and not the majority. And to continue, the whole thing has been a series of racking discords. Many things have been learned, and much should be profited from it, both for Chicago and every other city in the nation. Every record shows the indisputable fact that the whites, both in deaths and wounded, fared somewhat worse than the Colored people. It demon strates beyond question a “do or die” spirit on the part of the blacks, which is by no means pleasant to contem- plate, if subjects of racial friction are ‘not smoothed out. : While the battle raged, it was a {fitty-fifty proposition absolutely, in the districts and the so-called “Black Belt.” No black face had a ghost of a chance in the white district, and by the same token no white face had a chance in the belt. There was no discrimination on either side, in this | respect. | So serious did conditions become, that after the fourth day, the people in the “Black Belt” found themselves without food, Union drivers, white, refused to go beyond the “dead line,” | speaking literally, indeed.

Mayor Thompson and Gov. Lowden each were on the job constantly, but it is claimed by many that politics entered mto the delay of ordering troops into action before the fourth day of the riot. Governor Lowden saw several Colored men chased through the business district from the windows of his hotel, the Black- stone on Michigan Boulevard. From many sources ft is claimed that the police failed to give the prop- in protection to Colored people, and that they did not arrest whites who were known to be “gun toting” with the same alacrity that they did Ne- groes. Many of the police, however, were courteous and vigilant. ‘The Colored policemen, of which there are about 200 in Chicago, and the Colored detectives, rendered val- jant service, and proved their ability to cope with dangerous and delicate situations in a manner that reflects great credit. | Phere has been no criticism with reference to the conduct of the mil | itia. ‘The daily newspapers ave playwl an important part with reference to ||the quelling of the riot. ‘There are In Chicago six leading English speaking | daily newspapers.

Jackson, the majority of the ministers, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Rev. A. J. Catey, Jesse Binga, and several others demonstrated efforts of prsgars that caused favorable com- ment. Oscar DePreist, former alder- ‘man, seems to have come out of the fray with the greatest amount of cred- it to his name as a fearless leader. In many respects there has been much disappointment with reference to many who have posed as commun- ‘ity leaders. “Inthe hour of trial,” they were weighed in the balance and found wanting and missing. 3 The attorney general, the county Prosecutor, and special grand juries, with hundreds of detectives and sec- ret service men, are at work, running down the guilty hoodlums who are re- sponsible for the orge of blood, mur- der and fire. Mayor Thompson, in a public statement, claimed that the calling out of the troops frustrated an organized atempt to burn the en- tire South Side district. It is claim- ed by eye witnesses that much of the damage by the whites was done by Southerners, who had been sent to Chicago from some mysterious source in order to besmirch Chicago's fair name. At least two of these have al- ready been given heavy fines and jail sentences by Chicago judges, one a certain Richardson, the judge calling him a “typical rioter.” Governor Lowden has arranged to appoint a commission of people from both races to make a careful study of conditions and work out some plan of co-operation. An attempt was made to appoint a commisson last legisla- tive term, but the bill was defeated by our legislators on the ground of “class legislation.” The tremendous influx of people from the South during the last two years has undoubtedly made an acute problem ‘for Chicagq as all other northern cities. While the majority of these are industrious, naturally an idle and shiftless element has al%o come. This element lives on its wits, and there is much bitterness expressed about the gambling that has been go- ing on in the district. A score or more organizations, including the large churches, the Urban League and the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have been working for adjustment, and while they have expended thousands of dol- lars, they could use thousands more in the vitally necessary work. It is believed by all thoughtful peo- ple that a newer and better Chicago will rise out of the ruins of passion and hate, just as was done out of the ruins of the great Chicago fire. Chi- cago has the greatest economic need for the Negro. ‘ ae ee ee NEGRO GIVES UP TO GOVERNOR TOPEKA, Kans.—Dr. D. H. Davis, a Negro sought by authorities of Long: view, Texas, in connection with the re- cent race rioting there, appeared be- fore Governor H. J. Allen today and offered to surrender. He was accom: panied by Nick Childs, Topeka, Negro editor, and president of the American Negro Defense society, and others. Doctor Davis told Governor Allen he shot four white men, members of a party which came to his residence to whip his niece. He said bloodhounds were put on his trail and he evaded them by wading across a river. saa ek LS Ros Did you notice that the first thing that Wilson said when he opened his mouth again after the disgraceful riot in Washington was to talk about the duty the Americans owed to far away France?

E. Du Bois of 70 Fifth avenue, editor of The Crisis, a magazine published in connection with the work of the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, yesterday at. tributed the race riots in Washington to the irritability of all people and the unsettling of many ideas caused by the war, to the influx of a large num- Ver of Southerners into Washington, and to the presence in that city of many of the representatives of the educated, well-dressed class of Ne- groes, which white racial antagonists dislike, “Washington policemen are notori- ously unfriendly to the Colored peo: ple,” he added. “Time and time again they stand by and witness a dispute between a white man and a Negro, and when it is over and the Negro has been beaten they arrest the Negro, and not the white man who caused the trouble in the first place.” ‘The Colored editor pointed out the similarities between the present riots in Washington and the Atlanta riots which occurred about. twelve years ago. In both places, he said, “white hoodiums ‘began rioting and killing Negroes. When the Jatter became aroused and began, to retaliate, the authorities stepped in and the rioting stopped.” Major J. E. Spingarn, acting treas- urer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the soldiers and sailors who have been taking part iny the rioting in Washington resent the new attitude of self-respect the Negro has assumed because of the part he played in the war. “The soldiers,” he said, “instead of fighting the Negroes because the lat- ter think better of themselves for. hav. ing fought in the war, should respect them for having proved themselve; Such good fighters.” Major Spingarn was a staff officer attached “to. the- Sixth” Army Corps One of the divisions of the corps was the 92nd composed entirely of Colored troops.

That is a histor? eal fact, and the spot is miarkea now by the Chi¢ago Historical Society. All the white people who livé in Chicago have followed that’ Coloretf citizen and patriot; and yet. those of his kindred who would continue to ‘better their condition, are told that they are “with: out favor.” ; Throughout the entife world, Chi- cago has always been known as thé “Wonder City of Opportunity. for- All Peoples.” In America, “évery other city has yielded. to Chicago wth refer- ence to the honor of being first in ra- cial development and ¢iyie opportun- ity. From all the corners of the earth have come all shades and degrees of thinkers, leaders, and people with am- bitions for greainess, ease, and com- fort, to enjoy the full méasure of op- portunity... Chicago. is filled up with men and women who have been GREAT in their home town. Many of them are active here, but of course, their influence is not as generally known and noted as in the home town becuse there are so many of them, In the midst of all these facts and conditions: IT HAPPENED IN CHI- CAGO! It happened in Washington, and, also, in the commonwealth of ‘aristoc- racy, Virginia at Norfalk. Therefore, it is plain, even to the blind, that it may happen anywhere—no city is to remote or aristocratic, or large, or cul- tured, or anything whatsoever. New York is boasting, bul that conceited provincial municipality is not immune. It is not a subject of geography, but condition. At the very beginning, the prevail- ing social unrest throughout the world. Added to this condition is the paro- doxical, inconsistent, hypocritical at- titude of the American people, at large, posing one way to the outside world, and acting entirely another way at home, The consciousness of this state of affairs has been driven home to the minds of the most jiterate. per- son, in every section of the country. Phis act has been performed not only by the thinker, leaders, newspapers and the like of our group, but within the last two years, well known think- ers, leaders and newspapers of the white group, in all ‘sections, have pleaded for real justice and larger freedom for us. All of this has had its effect. It has not only encourag- ed our ambitions, but it has created a new determination—a ~ determination io Ineasure up lo the best ideals, and (0 work them out at all hazards and costs. The hazards baye come from the diminishing element of human-haters und radi¢als, whose object it has been 10 throw every possible obstacle in ihe way. It is this small glement that has fanned the fire of hatred in Chi- cago, and every place else. It is noisy and sensational and terrible while it lasts, but it is not representa- ‘ive, nor long lived. On the other hand, oyr own group has three distinctive elements that are to be reckoned with; the ignor- unt hoodlums, the. white man’s par- rots, and the aultra radical.” The firs: are a bane, as well as a pain, in the plan of adjustment, But .their ignor ance and instinets are largely due to that system of deprivation and op- presion which are the blot of our American civilization. The second element in our. group who unhesitat- ingly sell the birth-right of the people for a mess of pottage; they brush principle aside with a wave” ofthe pand, and curry to the favor of the prejudiced white.

We ask punishment, se- Vere and impressive to all evil doers, of all classes, without exception; we ask the splendid Grand Army of right thinking whites to get a better under- standing of the right thinking, indus- trious, sensible and peate-loving peo- ple of our group; we ask that good American common sense; on both sides, and not hatred, on either side, he used as the basis of the program of reconstruction—for that’s the job. Then these upheavals—with those ‘that will follow unless there is etern- al vigilance—will not have been in vain. “BY THIS SIGN WE WILL CONQUER.” HERE'S THE KEYNOTE (Brooklyn (N. Y.) Standard Union) It is not known which race was chiefly responsible for the Chicago riot or which committed most of the acts leading up to the fierce antipathy that found violent expression yester- day. Perhaps this is of no present importance, but it is highly important that th whites and blacks should do their utmost to tolerate the other. The two have to live side by side and there should be no permanent cause for friction. Nor should one race as- sume the’ role of master. These af- fairs disgrace the whole American. people in the eyes of the world and, of course, give pain to all our citizens. EKE EK EK ERIE SELAH ESR ER AAA ASE A SAE IA IEA AAI IAI.

AND NOW IT IS CHICAGO! (New York Mail) Just as the good news came that law and order had triumphed in the national capital to the extent that 2,- 000 regular troops brought there to keep the peace between whites and blacks could be withdrawn, Chicago proceeded to distinguish herself with a race riot of her own. It is a very serious question whether this outbreak of race rioting in cities wide apart is altogether a matter of chance. It is just possible that be- hind it is some clever propaganda which finds in the appeal to race prej- udice—as mean an appeal as exists— the instrument for causing industrial PAGE THREE revolution. If that is so, the problem should Le eapable of quick solution by an intelligent ‘secret service, If not, the prospects are more ominous. ear fs THE WAR OF RACES (By Cardinal Gibbons) “We are now afflicted with a war of races in the national capital where minch blood; nas: giready been shed and lives sacrificed.

Va., Aug. 4.—Geo. J. Austin, for thirteen years military commander of the Tuskekee Instita- tion, is now a worker for the War Camp Community Service as assistant to W. I.

The ball teams of each organization followed in the parade. The 10th Cavalry won the baseball game Saturday from the First Cavalry. Score, 2 to 1. White pitched, a good game of ball.

THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 4.—Residents of the downtown sections and in the Colored districts in North Philadelphia are claiming that the sale of pistols and other weapons to Negroes are increasing in an alarming manner. This has not been denied by pawnbrokers and hardware dealers, who maintain that there is also an appreciable increase in the sale to whites as well. It is known that the police and the military authorities in and around the city are watching the situation closely, fearing an outbreak in this city as an aftermath of the race war now in progress at Washington. Duplication of the news from the capital has caused much talk, particularly in those sections where the Negroes and whites mixed closely. With remembrance of serious outbreaks here during the war, the authorities are doing all in their power to prevent a recurrence. Owing to the report that the naval capital at Washington had been attacked by a band of armed Negroes in automobiles, and that wounded sailors and marines had been fired upon, has caused feelings to run high at the navy yard here. So open has been the talk against Negroes that the liberties have been cut to the minimum, and the same precaution will be observed as long as the naval officials feel that there is any danger. Extra patrolmen have been put out in some of the districts where racial outbreaks may be expected to occur and it is expected that regulations prohibiting the sale of firearms for the time being at least, soon will be issued. Such a precaution has been taken in Baltimore, both to prevent outbreaks in that city and to stop the transport of weapons from that city to Washington. TO GO TO LIBERIA (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Pleas for interest in the upholding of Liberia were made by Dr. N. H. B. Cassell, president of Liberian College, Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore and others at the celebration of the 62nd anniversary of Liberian independence. The American and Liberian flags hung together, and the anthems of both countries were played by the orchestra. Dr. Cassell, who is in this country in the interest of Liberia College, outlined the needs of his country and urged interest here in its welfare. Dr. Lyon made a plea for young men and women of ability, who had some financial resources to emigrate to Liberia and add in its upholding. He praised the interest of the American government in the little West African republic and said that the granting of a $5,000,000 credit to Liberia by the United States did not mean an impairment of the independence of the former country. LET US HOPE NOT BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 4.—If the reports of the race riots in Washington are as highly colored when they reach Europe as are most stories of events in the United States, the impression is likely to be spread that this country is in the throes of a civil war, which will bar it from further interest in world affairs for a time. This is particularly unfortunate, for it may become a spur to the restless elements in European nations. "If the United States has started, it is tie for us," may be the cry. The difficulties of the various governments are, therefore, likely to be considerably increased for a few days. It is hard to believe that there was any need for allowing this wretched affair to develop to the proportions which it has attained if the authorities had shown any reasonable foresight and efficiency when the troubles, began on Saturday night. Will we not hear proposals from members of the league of nations that the United States at once adopted the same laws for the protection of racial minorities that it is requiring in Poland, Australia and Roumania to enact? WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4.—Race riots in the country as a sequel to the disturbances here were predicted by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Johnson is in Washington investigating the riots here and endeavoring to aid the authorities as far as possible. "I am afraid we will have riots elsewhere as a result of those here," he said. "When they come they will be serious. The Colored men will not run away from it and hide as they have done on previous occasions of that kind. The experience here has demonstrated clearly that the Colored man will no longer submit to being beaten without cause. "Throughout the South we will find that the Negroes are in a state in which they have never been before. In previous race riots they have run away and have been beaten without resistance, but now they will protect themselves. "The federal authorities must take a hand if the local or state authorities are unable to successfully cope with the situation. It is certain that the thing which should be done is to conduct a sweeping federal investigation into riots in national capital. Tribune CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rate: 1 1/2 cents per word per issue.
