I. W. W. MAKING PROPOSALS TO COLORED PEOPLE Full Associated Negro Press Service. We get the news first. VOLUME II. NO. 21 I. W. TOPEKA WELCOMES BUFFALO DIVISION IN FITTING MANNER (By Associated Negro Press) TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. 19.—More than five thousand Topeka Negroes gave the soldiers of the Ninety-second division a royal home-coming celebration at Garfield Park Tuesday afternoon. The celebration started with a parade in the afternoon from the auditorium to the state house grounds where Governor Allen extended the official welcome of the state to the Negro fighting men. From the state house the soldiers paraded to the south end of the Melan bridge, where they boarded street car specials for Garfield Park. ```markdown ``` At the park the two hundred Shawnee county Negro soldiers were decorated with the Shawnee county medal of honor by the ladies of the Red Cross Auxiliary. The speaker of the evening was Col. Charles Young, the only Negro graduate of West Point to attain the high rank of colonel in the army of the United States. Col. Young spoke on the attitude of the Negro population of America in the support of the war and characterized the warriors of his race as being among the finest fighting men in the world today. Col. Young appealed to the best instincts of the Negroes of Topeka to refrain from any rioting or race hatred such as is rife in the eastern cities today. He pointed out that the riots are mostly caused by dissatisfaction and a mob spirit among the floating population of the big cities and showed how much activity is almost impossible here in the west where the Negroes are for the most part home and property owners. At the conclusion of Col. Young's talk the soldiers were served with a real picnic dinner. U. S. GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING THE RECENT OUTBREAKS (Special to the Tribune) WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The widespread race riots in various parts of the United States are under investigation by the United States government. Trusted agents of the Department of Justice and other governmental organizations are endeavoring to determine exactly what is behind the spread of assault and murder throughout the northern states. The situation admittedly is very serious. Starting here in Washington, there have been race clashes in a dozen other localities, culminating in the recent rioting in Chicago. Scope of Inquiry The inquiry now under foot is designed to determine these facts: First: Whether there actually exists a regularly organized body whose object is to stir up racial hatred in order to emphasize apparent unrest in the United States. Second: Whether there is any connection between the present series of race riots and the pro-German propaganda that immediately preceded the entrance of the United States in the war. Third: Whether there is any actual connection between the present race disturbance and the activities of the I. W. W., a score of whose leaders now are under severe prison sentences. Naturally, the officers concerned in the investigation are not talking for publication. Privately, they declare the less said about their work the easier it will be. However, it is generally accepted that steps are being taken to combat further spread of the disturbances. In this connection it is known that the authorities have secured possession of much important information as the result of the arrest of leaders of the recent rioting here in Washington. RACIAL EQUALITY AT HOME America will be a house divided against itself unless every individual is assured of equal justice. Colored Men Not Wanted in Navy (By Associated Negro Press) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 19.—No more Negroes will be accepted for service in the navy, according to instructions received at the local navy recruiting station yesterday. Experienced Negro cooks will continue to be enlisted to handle the cooking, but even Negro mess attendants will not be accepted after this date. The campaign for recruits being waged by the recruiting officers in Alabama is meeting with much success, according to Lieut. Commander J. E. Meredith and a large number of applications are being received daily. BISHOP PHILLIPS ADVISES THE NEGRO TO WAIT PATIENTLY CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 8.—Bishop or Charles Henry Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., who presides over Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, California and all the Pacific slope, and who is regarded as one of the foremost leaders of the Negro race, has just received the following message from the New York World to his Nashville address, which was forwarded to this city: "New York, July 30. "Bishop C. H. Phillips, Nashville, Tenn. "The World, which has always opposed injustice to and upheld the rights of the Colored race in America, thinks the time has now come when the members of that race should be warned by their own leaders against counsels of Bolshevism and violence which are being both openly and privately circulated. We invite you to telegraph, at our expense, for publication, any message of advice or admonition you may think useful. The World." Bishop Phillips, who is here managing the opening of the new church at the corner of Forty-sixth street and Cedar avenue, which the Colored Methodist Episcopal church has just purchased from the First Church of Christ, Scientist, under his management, sent the following reply: "Editor New York World: "Dear Sir:—In reply to your telegram I wish to say that I personally regret these race riots, these race antagonisms which have disturbed the industrial and social conditions at Washington, D. C., and Chicago. They argue nothing for the peace and harmony of the races, but rather increase the tension, stir up race hatred and more seriously affect the industrial and general welfare of the Negro than they do the white man. Born and reared in the South, I feel that these uprisings, so far as the Negro is concerned, do not result from any desire of his for social, political or industrial equality. As a laborer he enjoys opportunities he never had before. Though often denied the elective franchise, who has ever heard of him fighting to cast his vote. And as for social equality, that disturbs the white man far more than it does the Negro. The former too often imagines that social equality is about all the Negro wants, while the latter desires, and only desires, all those common rights which other men enjoy. He wants to live and move and vote like the white man. He wants a square deal; he wants justice when on trial in the courts, and desires to be regarded "a man' among men. "Somehow, I cannot believe that the Negro was influenced by Bolshevist agents in the part he took in the Chicago and Washington riots. It is not like him to be a traitor or a revolutionist, who would destroy the institutions of the government or a Bolshevist who despises law and order. But the reign of mob law to which he has so long lived in terror, the injustices to which he has had to submit, the denial of his civil rights for which he has so long prayed, have made him sensitive and impatient. On the other hand, the white man has, here and there, nourished race hatred which showed itself in many forms. Under these conditions we had all the divergent elements necessary to bring on that dangerous clashing of the races in Washington and Chicago, for only to a revenge long suppressed or fan smoldering embers of wrongs long endured into a flame. These race col- ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PERSONAL SERVANT CAUSED A PECK OF TROUBLE TO MASTERS PERSONAL SERVANT CAUSED A PECK OF TROUBLE TO MASTERS (By Associated Negro Press) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 19.—Minneapolis never had a race war, but it did have a near riot with a Colored person as its cause before the Civil war. But it was for the benefit of the slave. In those days, many southerners came up the river to spend the summer here. Their favorite stopping place was the old Winslow house, a huge hotel which was torn down in 1888 to make way for the Exposition building. The trouble came in connection with a Colored woman who was brought here as a slave by a St. Louis doctor and his family as their personal servant on their vacation. Slavery was then a very live issue. When the slave woman desired to claim freedom because she was in a free state, her owner objected, but her claim attracted instant and general support from the Minneapolis of that day. She was taken away from her master and solicitously cared for by the women, while the men turned out en masse prepared to nullify any forcible attempt to return her to servitude. The whole town was ready to fight her battle for her. This was before the final Dred Scott decision. The woman did not gain her freedom, but the incident made southerners chary about bringing slaves into Minnesota. DEPRAVED CUSSEDNESS. (Scranton, Pa., Times). The race riot is gross and infamous anarchy. The idea that it has to be at times is preposterous, a weak, in decent and disgusting plea in extenuation of an exhibition of human ugliness and cussness of the most depraved character. EVERYBODY'S PROBLEM (Atlanta, G., Constitution) The Constitution has for many years contended that this question is not ours to any greater extent than it is that of the whole country, as shown in the Ohio riots, those at East St. Louis, Illinois, and in other Northern states. PROTECT ALL ALIKE. Perhaps it is a crime wave such as appears in parts of every country after a war, but it is none the less disgraceful. Representatives Emerson of Ohio correctly characterizes the race rioting in a resolution declaring the situation is a national scandal and calling for protection of citizens irrespective of color. Washington should promptly take measures necessary to insure the protection to all citizens alike. lisions are serious and all right-minded citizens must labor to avert them. "I would advise the Negro to be patient, tolerant and law-abiding, abstain from all revengeful methods, remember that lawlessness begets lawlessness; that reforms are not accomplished in a day; that neither the North nor the South can be changed into a paradise in a year after the war; and that he must come into the dawn of a new day and into equal rights and privileges with the white. "I am unalterably opposed to violence and bloodshed and advise my race against any propaganda that would attempt to procure our rights through these methods. We can accomplish more by moral suasion, by appealing to friendly newspapers like the World and to our white friends North and South to help us in our struggle for our manhood rights, than by violence and bloodshed. The road to liberty has often been through the sword, but the Negro should not seek it by that weapon. "I see far more to encourage than to discourage. I am looking for no general collisions in the South among the races. The great daily papers of Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, Montgomery and other cities are pleading for justice to the Negro and for the continued harmony of the races. Let the Negro look hopefully to the future. "For he who sees the future sure The laffelling present can endure." PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUGUST 23, 1919. TROTTER HAILED "PLUMED KNIGHT" BY HIS ADMIRERS (By Associated Negro Press) CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 19.—William Monroe Trotter appeared at Massachusetts Avenue Baptist church last Thursday. A large and appreciative audience listened to his experiences of his endeavor to reach France to petition the Peace Conference for justice for the Race. The pastor, Rev. George Washington, referred to Mr. Trotter's sacrifice as creditable as of those who shouldered the guns in going across to the battlefield. Mr. William Brigham, white, likened the speaker of the evening to the "plumed knight", Henry of Neyarre, whose persistence overcame obstacles. When alluding to its refusal to give passports to Colored delegates, Mr. Trotter characterized the administration as "contemptible and tyrannical." "While allowing such privileges to the Irish, Jewish and woman suffrage representatives, they denied us, the only element in this country really in need of democracy, the right to go and ask for it," said the speaker. Mrs. Ambrozine Smith of Huachucu is spending the week with Mrs. R. J. Walker of this city. Mrs. Ida Deware, who has been visiting in Los Angeles the past month, returned home last week. Mrs. J. H. Bryant is spending the summer in Los Angeles. Mrs. Ida Chance left last week for Amarilla, Texas, where she will spend the summer visiting relatives. Mr. Eddie Williams of Los Angeles is a new arrival in the city. He will spend several weeks visiting and sightseeing. Misses Myrtle Threat and Ambrozine Smith motored to Huachuca last Friday and remained for the big affair there the following Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Owens motored over to the Fort for the same purpose. All returned Sunday. Messrs. Benjamin Owens and Lowell of this city, who have spent the past year in France with the A. E. F., returned home last week. Among the Bisbee visitors to Fort Huachuca last Saturday were Mesdames 'M. C. Hoe, A. R. Ross, L. Victor, J. M. Gordon, C. Elam, E. L. Hearne, Thomassina Sumter and Miss Lillian Grice. Sergeant Ford paid a visit to his wife in this city last week. (By Rev. S. E. Newell) Ministers of the Paradise Baptist association, Rev. J. B. Bell, moderator; Rev. S. E. Newell, vice-moderator; Rev. Edward Jones, recording secretary; Rev. William Young, corresponding secretary; Rev. J. H. Humphrey and Rev. C. A. Gilmore, met Wednesday, August 13, at Mt. Calvary Baptist church. After carefully considering the above named association, its actual worth and value, it was unanimously agreed to drop the name, Paradise Association, and we proceeded to organize what is to be known as the Paradise Baptist State Convention. Rev. William Young of Globe was elected president, Rev. J. M. Robinson of Mesa, vice-president; Rev. Edward Jones of Douglas, recording secretary; Rev. C. A. Gilmore of Phoenix, corresponding secretary; Rev. J. Humphrey of Bisbee, treasurer; Rev. J. B. Bell of Phoenix, state missionary; Revs. L. B. Bentley of Mesa and Lewis of Flagstaff and Brother B. M. Williams of Tucson, members of the board. The home mission work, Sunday school and B. V. P. U. were organized and officers elected for each auxiliary. Our first board meeting will be held with the Second Baptist church at Phoenix on the Wednesday before the fifth Lord's day in November. (Kansas City, Mo., Journal) It seems strange that in the national capital, directly under the eyes of those in supreme authority, such a situation would have been allowed to develop. I. W. W. IS SPREADING SEDITIOUS LITERATURE AMONG BLACK PEOPLE (By Associated Negro Press) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 19.—I. W. W. pamphlets appealing to "Colored Workingmen and Women" have been posted on walls in at least one Minneapolis district. The Negro is told that he is no better off now than under slavery. Copies of the pamphlet on exhibition on Fifth street near, Sixth avenue N., today were scanned curiously by several colored workingmen, but without any special show of interest. The pamphlet, designated to recruit Colored people into the "one big union," is signed by William D. Haywood, convicted leader of the I. W. W. and has the imprint of the I. W. Publishing Bureau, 1001. W. Madison St., Chicago. A cut shows a man behind bars, labelled, "We're in here for you; you're out there for us." The I. W. W. draws no color line, the pamphlet says, appealing to the desire of racial equality. "If you are a wage worker," it declares, you are welcome in the I. W. W. halls, no matter what your color. In the I. W. W. all wage workers meet on common ground." "To the black man," it says in another paragraph, "who but recently with the assistance of the white men of the northern states, broke their chains of bondage and ended chattel slavery, a prospect of further freedom of real freedom, should be most appealing. For it is a fact that the Negro worker is no better off under the freedom he has gained than under the slavery from which he has escaped." It is the employer, Haywood charges, who has sought to "engender race hatred." "He sets the black worker against the white worker," says the pamphlet, "and the white worker against the black, and keeps both divided. RAY (By Archie Lewis) Box Canyon is becoming quite popular as a picnic resort. Another jolly crowd motored up there last Sunday with their lunch baskets filled to capacity, and spent the day swimming, playing games and kodaking. Miss Sue Davis of Hayden arrived in Ray last week for an indefinite stay. While here she is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harris. Mrs. Archie Lewis received a letter from Mrs. Pat Rivers, who with her husband left here several days ago in their Ford touring car for Alpine, Texas, stating that they arrived safely and found Mr. Rivers' mother improved in health. She states that they expect to return about September 1st. Something broke into Lonnie's chicken house one night last week. Maybe that "something" was trying to solve the h. c. of l. maybe. An effort is being made by Manager Cools of the Ray ball team to bring the 25th Infantry team from Nogales for a game with the local club. The only hitch seems to be the lack of a substantial guarantee demanded by the soldier team. They say it takes 500 "iron men" to close the deal. Mr. B. B. (Beau Brummel) Moore gave the ladies a treat at Mose Davis' wedding reception with his pearl grey suit, Panama hat, white silk shirt, cream-colored pumps and socks. He knocked 'em dead. Another gentleman who "cut a dash" was Mr. Edison Lewis of Los Angeles, who introduced a brand-new dance; and the way he sang "T'll Say He Does" would make Al Johnson turn green with envy. Nearly everybody in Sunny Side is busy building a fence around their premises. "Yours Truly" has plenty to run around his house without building a fence. Had to build one to keep them in, begosh! WHOLE POPULATION TURNS (Charlotte, N. C. Observer) When the Negro gets into trouble in the North he is in trouble bad. The whole population turns on him and the disposition is to "clean him up". If it should develop during the troubles in Washington any man came to the rescue of the Negro, we are going to venture that it was a white man from the South. BISBEE (By Myrtle Threat) TUGSON (By Rev S E Newell) IT SEEMS STRANGE. Snakes Cause Men To Quit Their Jobs (By Associated Negro Press) READING, Pa., Aug. 19.—Nineteen Negroes brought here from distant points recently by contractors on the state highway between Hamburg and Port Clinton, quit their jobs and left for home because of the great number of copper head snakes uncovered on the job. The road flanks the wall of the old Blue Mountain dam, a canal feeder, and part of the wall is being removed by hand or steam shovel. Sometimes the shovel unloads a dozen of the snakes at one time, and the man have had many escapes. PATRIOTIC LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED BY COLORED PEOPLE OF HOUSTON (By Associated Negro Press) HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 19.—The Negroes of Houston have organized and tendered their services to the Harris County Patriotic League, and peace officers to assist in maintaining harmony here between the two races, and also to assist in locating and prosecuting any persons found guilty of spreading propaganda for the purpose of stirring up racial hatred. At a meeting Thursday fifty Negroes, representing every avenue of life among the Negroes of the city, were appointed on a committee to co-operate with the Patriotic League. Members of the Patriotic League expressed themselves as pleased with this spirit among the Negroes and are glad to have their co-operation. While none of them contemplate any disorders, they are aware of the fact that there are persons among both races who would like to see trouble. There seems to be unmistakable information in the hands of the authorities at Washington that radicals, who seek the destruction of organized society, are backing a nation wide movement to promote racial troubles, just as they are labor troubles and all other kinds of trouble that will bring on disorder in this country. It is this propaganda that will be closely guarded against and the Negro organization will be of great service in quelling such propaganda among the Negroes. MIGHT TRY THIS IN PHOENIX. (By Associated Negro Press) ANNISTON, Ala., Aug. 19.—The plan for a general clean-up in every part of the city by the progressive Negro citizens of Anniston is creating the greatest amount of interest on the part of the Colored people. Prizes for the best kept yards and alleys, for the greatest number of tin cans assembled by the children, and for many other feature efforts, to improve local sanitary conditions are to be offered during the week of August 11 and already plans for conducting a thorough sanitary campaign are being laid out by the promoters of the scheme. The clean-up campaign is to be conducted under the auspices of W. T. Radford, assistant secretary of the Red Circle Club No. 3, and the week will be an important one in the lives of the Negro citizens of this city. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 19.—America's treatment of the Negro was severely criticized last evening by Rev. C. Edwin S. Cox, white, pastor of the United Congregational church of Newport, who gave the first of a series of sermons on "Race Riots in the United States, and Their International Aspects." He declared that unless this country puts a stop to racial discrimination and assertion of white superiority, it may be forced to defend its alleged superiority against the entire Colored population of the world. NORTHERN PREJUDICE. (Buffalo, N. Y. Enquirer) Northern tolerance does not appear able to survive the appearance of many Negroes. With very little provocation Northern prejudice displays itself in violence so much so as to raise doubt, as to whether the North would get along with the Negroes as well as the South does if it had as many. Largest Circulation of any Race Journal in the Southwest. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year OPLE ST. LOUIS BLACKS TO MAINTAIN BIG DEPARTMENT STORE (Special to the Tribune) ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19—The Colored citizens of St. Louis have subscribed $15,000 for the organization of a general department store to be maintained by and in the interest of the Colored population. The store is to have a threefold nature. It is to be a business owned, operated and controlled by Negroes; is to furnish employment for Negroes and operated on a co-operative basis, furnishing staple commodities on advantageous terms. Homer G. Phillips, a lawyer with offices at 2335 Market street, said the formation of an exclusively Negro enterprise was in line with an industrial movement which had put forty-three Negro workers into positions formerly occupied by white employees in drug, dry goods and grocery stores. Through the action of the St. Louis Doosters' association, Phillips said three stores on Lacede avenue, Market and Pine streets and Lawton avenue, which depend entirely on Colored customers, have replaced their white employees with Colored. "An industrial awakening is taking place among the Negroes," said Phillips. "They want merely what they are entitled to." Phillips said the 80,000 Negroes in St. Louis had to spend on an average of a dollar a day for living expenses. "It is felt that this money, earned by the Negroes, should be spent and circulated among their own people as a help to their economic life," he explained. THIS HAPPENED IN MISSISSIPPI, SENATOR VARDAMAN'S HOME MERIDIAN, Miss., Aug. 19.—A real interesting story comes from Wayne County, where last week serious race trouble was anrowly averted, according to those who attended the session of the court, which ended last Saturday. It is said that the residents of Beat 5 in that county armed themselves with shot guns and repelled the importation of a large number of Negro laborers into that section by a lumber company. According to authoritative information, Beat 5 has been one of those sections where no Negroes were allowed, particularly some parts of the beat. About thirty years ago a tract of timber was bought by a big lumber concern and on warning they obeyed the request not to send Negroes into the section. Recently another lumber company bought some timber in that section and the residents sent a committee requesting that no Negroes be used except on the trains and on road bed work. This warning, it is said, was disregarded and last week a trainload of Negro workmen was started into that section. The train was met by a large armed body and the frightened Negroes jumped from the cars through the windows and doors, and made their escape. The matter, it is said, was presented to the grand jury but so far as can be learned, no indictments were returned. A HELPLESS MAYOR The tragedy of Chicago is that it is alawless city with a lawless government. What whites and blacks are doing to each other today is what whites have been doing to each other for more than a generation. The apparent helplessness of Mayor Thompson will excite neither astonishment nor criticism among his fellow-citizens. It was with that in view that they elected him. But a greater shame will devolve upon the authorities if they hesitate to suppress the disturbances of race rioting. The mob passion of the moment may be forgotten, but tolerance of outlawry is abhorrent.

The article follows: “Another blot has been cast upon the fair name of American liberty and democracy. Race riots, such as those which occurred in Washington, D. C., have broken out in Chicago. The bitter struggie presents a detail of facts of such brutality, violence and bloodshed as to cause one to shudder at the horrors involved. It is hard to believe that with the end of the war for, democracy, in which, the American Negro played so valiant and exemplary @ part, such ignominious and undemocratic circumstances as race strife should come to life. Yet the bare facts stand before us. We are confronted by a Spectre of race hatred and antagonism that is certain to cause, us grave and vital concern. 7 ; “It is one thing for a nation to prescribe in its constitution and docu- ments of law equal rights and franchises regardless of race, creed and color. lt is another thing for the nation to translate into terms of fact the tonsa: tees written into its constitution. Theoretically, American constitutional | Jaw provides for the political and civil rights of the Negro, but actually the | guarantees have often been treated as a “mere scrap of paper.” Parllel to the rhetoric! flourishes and extravagant verbosity that characterizes our written documents of political and civil equality are written in Negro blood. lynching-bees innumerable and deeds of discrimination and esdless perse- eution, “History records our tacties relative to the once paramount “yellow peril.” Before we effectually barred Oriental cheap labor by legal processes and statutes of law, we were constantly imperiled Vy race warfare in the congested districts. Forcible suppression of Japanese and Chinese activities was not an infrequent occurrence. Actual murders took place. In addition to these the imposition of a social and economic boycott had 2 powerful result in aggravating the racial strife and in bringing it to a quick climax. Are we, then, to adopt a similar policy in regard to the “bick peril”? Are these recent race riots the incipient ripples of a great tidal wave that shall immerse this country in blood and chaos? These questions are not incidental; they are fundamental to our future welfare and progress. “One thing is certain, we cannot deport the millions of Negroes in Amer. ica. The white race is responsible for their presence here. We brought them here and sold them into slavery. Then, expounding principles of moral and political justice, we set them free and set out to Americanize and Christianize them, We used their vast labor powers to build up the great industries and agricultural enterprises of the South. Later we converted their raw labor ellergy into manufacturing power in the North; and they are a source of tre- mendous wealth and production in this country. For these things shall we reward them by uncivilized warfare upon them? We dare not do it. ~* “But to what alternative can we turn? How can we solve the complex problems involved without incurring the danger of violent conflict? The best means of settling any problem, we believe, is by investigating the causes to which the difficulties may be charged.. The causes of the race problem are threefold—political, social and educational. Cheap Negro labor has dis- placed cheap white labor and lowered the standard of living. This is the germ of the conflict, which is aggravated by social antagonism, due to widely divergent racial characteristics. Thus, both socially and economically, the Negroes and whites are constantly in a state of suppressed excitement, which is*heightened and intensified by sporadic murers, rapes and crimes by Negro - degenerates—especially so when in various instances white girls are the vic- tiths of the crime. “The most important phase of the problem is the educational phase. Herein lies the dominant cause and cure of the race problem. Illiteracy among the whites and blacks is the greatest single factor tending to produce violence and lawlessness and open conflict. Social and economic clashes are in part due to the widespread existence of a profound anti-Negro prejudice, which is the result of ignorance and miseducation. The Negro problem has never been studied in our schools. By silence it has been ignored. This wall of silence is the beginning of race batred and suspicion. The race riots are a sufficient indictment of its evil effects. On the other hand, we have offered the Negro very little opportunity for self-education and advancement. We have commereialized and industrialized him, but we have not educated him or offered him spiritual satisfaction. “Let us educate the nation to the truth of the race problem, so that we can lay the foundations of @ relationship between the races based on mutual sympathy and respect, rather than hatred and distrust. The truth is there is no “black peril,” other than the peril of a staggering illiteracy and igno- rance which we whites have fostered and nourished by our own indifference and vacillation. The truth is that by social, political and economic discrim- ination and distinetion we bave bred in the hearts’and minds of liberty-lov- ing Negroes a deep resentment and feeling of revolt that grows bolder and bolder as the restrictions draw tighter and tighter. The truth is that we haye based our judgment of the Negro race on the fact that a large portion of negroes constitute the criminal element in this country, more than any other one race of people. But wa must not forget, and I must emphasize this fwet again, that if the Negroes do largely contribute to crime and lawlessnesi, they are not only to blame, but we ourselyes—we who have done little to lift the economie and social and educational restrictions which are the bases ‘of these criminal tendencies. . * “It is plain that we must adopt a policy of justice toward the Negro if, ‘we wish to avert future race wars. We must put an end to lynching. We must change our industrial system so tbat one race sball not by virtue of choap labor and servile service, subsist and produce at the expense of an- other race. We must educate both black and white illiterates, for there is force aud violence most where there is education and reason least. We must give the Negro Tull political justice in the South, where it is denied him. Our school systems must include in their curricula scientific and bis- torical courses dealing with the Negro race and the race problems. Thus only by amepily, amelioration and education, may we hope to urrive ab 4 proper solution of this distressing and complex problem. “In conclusion, we must raise our voices in protest against the real spon- sors of anti-Negro agitation and bloodshed—the profiteers. Theso inbuman Vultures, who liye on the miseries of the buman race, exploit the cheap, ser: vile, ready-supply labor of tbe Negro to the limit of exploitation. They, and the Negroes, displace white labor. They, and not the Negroes, are the jcause of rapes and murders committed by Negto degenerates. These white [skinned profiteers have hearts blacker than the darkest Negro color, aud if We would have peace between the races, we mast eliminate this’ parasite, this exploiter, who is the root of the evil; who, for greed and profits, would set ithe whole world afire.” a lS : ne Oy: NR i OED Just as the Berlin newspapers are Prophesying 4 Negro uprising in America, backéd by Japan and result: ing in a Negro President of the Unit- ed States; just as Trotter, Colored, of Boston, is being cheered for. saying that he delights in the courage of hic fellow-blacks of Washington is resist- ing the whites, and as newspapers like the New York Sun and World are deploring the fact that the down: trodden blacks are compelled to Tight for their lives and rights against the savage Southerners, a race riot breaks out in Chicago, the lovely city whieh elects---with woman suffrage— that emineut disciple of Hun Kulture, ‘Thompson, as mayor.

Y., Post Express) Can we wonder if our home-coming Colored soldiers are now, throughout the South, in a mood to demand the protection our laws guarantee to all Peaceable citizens irrespective of col- or? Can we wonder if they now de- mand the legal trial, conviction and punishment of members “of their race accused of offenses? Can we wonder if they refuse to be hunted down and beaten up as a race because some Colored man is guilty of, charged with or suspected of crime? BSE SS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD (Charlotte, N. C., Observer) It is entirely possible that at the ‘time the white people of Washington stirred by the frequency and boldness ‘of the outrages, the better element of the Negro population had made co- operative efforts for the suppression of the lawlessness, or had given pub- fe manifestation of its disproval of conditions—in short, if it had joined witlf the white people in putting a stop to the operations of the vicious minority of its race, there would have been small opportunity for the de- velopment on the riot. In a South. ern community under conditions that existed in Washington, the best of the white people and the more sensible of the Negro leaders would be found junited in effort for the general good of the-Negro population. | 0 | HUMAN NATURE THE SAME ‘“» (Fayetteville, N. C., Observer) Human nature is the same the world over, and like causes will pro- duce like results in Texas and Ohio, in North Carolina and Massachusetts, in Georgia and the District of Colum- bia. Mob law should be condemned and punished, but in condemning mob law, care should be taken lest the crimes of the brutes who provoke to mob law be glossed over. fens ES RULES OF LYNCHING, (Mobile, Ala., Register) In the South where the Negroes are known and-where the fact’ is fully recognized that there are many>xood Negroes and but a few bad ones, there is seldom any showing of acti: al race animoity. Mob action gen- erally confines, itself to the individ: ual criminal. lt is commonly charg: ed by Northern whites at the South that the Negro is lynched because he is a Negro. If such has happened, we do not know of a case. me ee ee THREATENING PHASES. (Union, 8. C., Times) The two direct and threatening phases of the race problem in the South is the demand on (he part of the Negroes for the franchise and for social equality. The Negro soldiers, having gone forth to fight, come back With a demand to be allowed to voto. Having been misled by the apparent social equality accorded him in France, he is also disposed to seek for socinl equality at home, These newly aroused desires are being fan- ned inio a flame by newspapers that are finding a ready wind. eh gai Bas § CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT, Atter a special course in Hairdress- ing, Shampooing, Manicuring-and Mas- saging, I am prepared to beautify your complexion, straighten your hair and apply all remedies that will promote the growth of stubborn and unruly hair.

Passing the office of the Tribune on East Jefferson street, the joy riders nearly yelled themselves hoarse while the office force stood outside to greet them. They were a generous-hearted group, for they gave the reporter extra large dishes of ice cream and all other dainties in proportion. We wonder why?

Delegate Trotter Tells of New Opening for the Race Where It Will Be Appreciated BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 9.—Color segregation and economic competition are the causes of the bloody race riots in Chicago, according to William Monroe Trotter, the Colored Peace Conference petitioner at Paris, and secretary of the National Equal Rights League, who had just returned from the League's eastern headquarters at 2152 Fifth avenue, New York city, which deliberated on the recent race riots. "If the United States does not appreciate the colored laborer enough to let him work for his bread by the sweat of his brow unmolested, I know positively that the Republic of France, which knows no color line, will welcome the black American worker for the restoration of the devastated regions, especially unskilled labor," declared William Monroe Trotter, who says that France is the land of equality of rights. MUST WORK TOGETHER. (Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer) These are dangerous demonstrations, dangerous alike for their immediate effects in loss of life and destruction of property and for their general disturbing influence upon the continued association between the races. The negro and the white man must continue to live and work beside each other whether they prefer to do so or not. They must continue to build together the America that is to be. DOUBLY A PITY. It is doubly a pity and a shame to American civilization that the outbreak in the national capital and in Chicago should have occurred after a period of united national endeavor for the noblest of aims, chief among which is the securing of the right of life and self-determination to all peoples. In that struggle the American Negro, despite the disabilities and the limitations which have encompassed him in some parts of the country in the past, has done his full share to insure the attainment of the national purpose. A city in which the people had been rigidly schooled in respect for the law and in which the police force was known for a long tradition of vigilance and energy would not be the scene of rioting that stretched over a half-week and required thousands of troops to suppress. What it needed in cities like Chicago is not precaution against Bolshevism, but measures for a good municipal clean-up.
