In the Face of Discrimination and Other Hardships, the Negro is Proving Himself One Hundred Per Cent Pure HOW THE NEGRO STANDS WITH THE POWERS AT WASHINGTON Twentieth Year. No. 36. Colored Nurses for the Army and Other Stories are all Bosh—A Personal Talk With Sec. Baker and Mr. Tumulty. We have just returned from a trip to Washington, D. C. En route we stopped at Chicago, Gary, Ind., Detroit, Niagara Falls, Albany, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and a few hours at Harrisburg, Pa. We will be for sometime dwelling upon our trip and what we saw and heard and what the race is doing, the good as well as the bad. Our mission was to see the colored newspaper mee in the different cities we visited and solicit their aid in helping us in strengthening the Kansas Defense Society for the Court Martialled Soldiers of the Twenty-fourth which organization will also take up other matters pertaining to the race from time to time. We were in a rush and therefore did not have time to visit all of the colored journals. 。 At Chicago we visited at the office The Defender, of which, Hon. R. S. Abbott, former member of the Plaindower staff is editor and owner; The National Defender and Sun, G. Dury, our friend, Hon. J. D. Cook, editor; The Detroit Leader, Hon. W. K. Pemp, editor; The Amsterdam News, E. A. Warren, editor; New York Age, Fred R. Moore, editor; The Christian Recorder at Philadelphia, R. R. Wright, editor and also manager of the publishing house; The Afro-American at Baltimore, Col. Murphy, editor and the office of The Daily (Baltimore) Herald, the only colored daily newspaper in the United States; and the office of The Eagle at Washington, Finley Wilson, editor. We were courteously received and assured by these editors that we were on the right track and they would give us their support and make the Kansas Defense Society an organization to be supported by the colored newspapers of the country. We think the time has come when organizations of this character should be managed and conducted by colored people. We are taking the case of the thirty-nine court martialled soldiers as our initiative step and have secured attorneys who will bring proceedings in a few days to test the question as to whether or not these soldiers were fairly treated and are being legally held as we claim they were not. One of our main objects at the National Capital was to visit some of our congressmen and senators and the President, Secretary of War and Hon. William G. McAdoo, director general of railroads. We are under many obligations to Senator Curtis for making the proper arrangements for us at the White House and also at the War Department and Department of Justice. Arrangements were being made for us to meet Secretary McAdoo but as that gentleman was sick, we had preparations for a conference with him discontinued. A Talk With Mr. Tumulty On our arrival at the White House we were ushered into the private room of the private secretary to the president, Mr. Tumulty and after a few minutes he came in and asked our wishes and when we told him that we desired to see President Wilson, we informed that he was at golf so we took up our matter with Mr. Tumulty with the understanding that he was to submit it to the President for consideration. In a typewritten letter we complained to the President about the treatment of our colored soldiers on Pullmans and that they were not allowed to eat in the dining rooms of railroad trains; the discrimination against colored commissioned officers and the need of colored officers with all of our regiments for the reason that white officers do not understand colored men as they do themselves and as long as we have colored soldiers it is no more than right that they should be officered by colored men. It more colored men were commissioned and promoted there would be a better feeling among the members of the race and better fighting by our soldiers as the recognition of their merit would serve to encourage them. We also told him that we were reliably informed that of all the draft boards in the United States not a single colored man was permitted to serve as a member, and that the colloid people of the country were asked that they be given colored nurses to care for our soldiers. We called his attention to the fact that colored pursuers are being complained and not being called and that our young men were barred from the marine and may departments and never given proper consideration. We expressed our thanks for what he said to the American people in his appeal to them to stop lynching but we hoped that he would go further and ask Congress to enact a law that will make lynching a crime punishable by fine and imprisonment and providing for an indemnity to be paid to the relatives of the unfortunate person. We personally called the attention of Mr. Tumulty to the outrages perpetrated upon a commissioned colored officer en route from New York to Camp Donlphan, Okla., under orders from the War Department who was arrested and taken from a Pullman at Chickasha and fined $24 which he paid. We asked him to have this town refund the money to the officer because this soldier was on a mission for the Government and the Government also had control of the railroads at the time and no civil officer had the right to interfere with soldiers traveling under orders from the Government. His reply was, "Can this be true?" and he looked astonished. We assured him that it was a fact and he asked that we send him the particulars and he would look the matter up. Now we have already written about this matter to this department and also to the secretary of war but we shall inform Mr. Tumulty again of this henious crime against the Government and a brave colored soldier. We do not know how serious Mr. Tumulty is on outrages of this character nor how far his administration will go toward investigating the game but we shall do our duty and await results. Four Minutes With Secretary Baker. By special arrangement on the part of Senator Curtis we were permitted to have a four-minute interview with Secretary of War Baker. After the usual red tape of a colored messenger taking our letter of introduction to the Secretary of War, we were invited into a room and saked to be seated among a large number of other people who were in waiting for the same purpose. At 12:45 Mr. Baker came into the room and from left to right he begin conversing and receiving the visitors, each of whom had business of some nature with him. Mr. Baker is a man who seems to move on the impulse of the moment, is small in statue, weighing about 140 pounds and about five foot five inches in height. Scott and Tyler Worried as to Our Nielsen With Mr. aker. MISSION WITH MR. BAKER About the time Mr. Baker was to give us an audience, in stepped Mr. Emmett J. Scott, his special assistant and Mr. Ralph Tyler, and for what purpose we do not know, but it seemed to us that they were there to see what we had to say to Mr. Baker, having been tipped by some of the "runners" in the hall that a strange colored man was about to approach the Secretary of War, and the colored contingents could not understand how a colored man announced and alone could have business with Secretary Baker without coming through Scott and Tyler. Mr. Scott made the first visit alone and we met him and assured him that we would call on him after we were through with the Secretary of War. He then left and in a few minutes he returned with Mr. Tyler. Our interview with the Secretary of War was not very pleasant for him as we not only submitted to him complaints as given in our letter to the President, but we asked him personally about the case of the commissioned officer who was arrested and fined at Chickasha, Okla., for riding in a Pullman from New York en route to Camp Donlipan under orders from his department and we would like for him to see to it that this soldier was refunded the fine he was compelled to pay. He said that he had no power to do anything, but this soldier could ask redress in the courts to which we replied that this man was in the service of the Government and his time was not his own and that it was the duty of the Secretary of War to issue a general order against discrimination of any kind against American soldiers. Such an order would put an end to all such outrages. The seemed to pceve Mr. Baker and he asked us if we wished to do all of the talking. Our reply was that we merely wanted to make suggestions to help him if he desired to do the right thing by the colored soldiers. He said that all complaints concerning colored soldiers should be turned over to Mr. Scott (This of course tickled Scott and Tyler). We told Secretary Baker that Mr. Scott could not issue the orders that were necessary but that it was up to the Secretary of War and in answer to this he stepped aside and handed our complaint to Mr. Scott. We made him goodbye and called it Mr. Scott office to await his return in company with Mr. Tyler. On arriving, Mr Scott Joyfull asked if we heard what the Secretary of War said in reference to his authority and we with equally as much joy asked if he heard what we said to the Secretary; and that he, Scott, knew well that these outrages against colored soldiers over the country were NOT being given proper consideration by the War Department and that he could only take these matters up with the Department, but had no power to issue general orders which was the thing needed to put a stop to all outrages. of colored soldiers and such matters should be given to the daily papers of New York and Chicago if the Washington papers fall to give them publicity. There are several camps where soldiers are not given proper athletic exercise and colored officers are not being assigned to duty as fast as commissioned from the schools. In our next issue we shall give a detailed account of the progress of Washing. for the country President mistress this co to have evil it is Christian these for Texas Texas able Scott's Job Carries no Power. If the Secretary of War would give Mr. Scott authority to issue general orders against outrages that are perpetrated upon colored soldiers, then we would think Mr. Scott had a position of some worth, but as it is he is simply a sort of go-between to keep the colored people from laying on Secretary Baker, but instead they are directed to Mr. Scott, who can do no more about correcting an error than the party who makes the complaint. The case of the colored officer being fined in Oklahoma was handed to Mr. Scott before his visit to Camp Funston which was some three months ago, and he was going to turn things upside down in that case, but investigation shows that the matter is dead—forgotten by the men through whom Mr. Scott was to obtain redress for the humiliated army officer. Special assistant to the Secretary of War sounds big and that's all. Colored Nurses for Army Service In a Honx. All of this stuff that has been sent out through the colored newspapers about the desire for colored nurses is all bush. We want to give facts. We met the lady who is at the head of this department and we questioned her in reference to colored nurses and she referred us to another officer, Col. Baldwin, in the Surgeon General's department and he informed us that the Government was organizing a trained nurse department for the instruction of white women but no colored would be admitted. He said that there was now being erected small buildings at Funston, Dodge, Grant, Dix, Taylor and Sherman for colored nurses and after these were completed the Red Cross would recommend nurses to be appointed to these places and they would probably number from seven to ten at each place making a total of fifty or sixty. He volunteered the information that a cablegram was sent to General Perishing asking if he could use colored nurses and he replied that he could not and the reason the department gives for such an answer is that there are so few colored soldiers in the different units in the French hospitals that it was unnecessary to have colored nurses, but we said it was because the French had no prejudice and treated all soldiers in their hospitals alike. The Case of Colored Doctors. We called upon Lieut. J. S. Coulter in the Surgeon General's department and inquired as to the reason our colored medical officers are not being assigned to duty after being commissioned. He replied that they were only assigned after the orders came from the adjutant general. Since the adjutant general has only assigned white men, our medical officers who have been commissioned cannot expect much encumbragement. The following report was given to us in regard to colored officers in the medical department: Medical officers commissioned 356. Medical officers service 95. Sanitary Corps Officers commissioned 1, recommended by authorities in France and at present serving abroad. Our advice to the colored people is to write letters to their congressmen and senators and ask that an investigation be held concerning the treatment of our soldiers, including the stewedover regiment at New Port News, Va. We think the War Department should be asked to submit all complaints they have regard to outrages against colored soldiers to a military committee from the Senate and House for investigation. It is done in the instance of the mistreatment of white soldiers in the hospitals by white officers who were dismissed from the service and the conditions thoroughly changed so that there are no complaints at this time but colored soldiers are complaining about indignities heaped upon them especially by Southern officers and there should be a united effort on the part of the race and the best white people to see that colored soldiers are not discriminated against and that colored commissioned officers be placed over colored soldiers and that they be promoted as they merit it. Leaders Send Out False Statements There is also something wrong with our leading colored men in Washington. There have been too many lies sent out from the seat of government concerning the advancement of nurses and soldiers which are misleading and damaging to the coated people as a whole. There are several hundred young colored girls filling out applications and making efforts to get into the trained nurse department when at the same time they are barred. We do not know who is responsible for these false statements but they should be reported. Companies from Over the Country Mr. Scott showed us commun- cations from different parts of the country concerning the mistreatment Plaindealer of colored soldiers and such matters should be given to the daily papers of New York and Chicago if the Washington papers fall to give them publicity. There are several camps where soldiers are not given proper athletic exercise and colored officers are not being assigned to duty as fast as commissioned from the schools. In our next issue we shall give a detailed account of the progress of the race in Chicago and Washington. MORE SOLDIERS TO DIE FOR TEXAS RIOTS Did Emmett J. Scott Hasten Matters? Death Penalty Approved a Few Days After Letter to Fred Moore Was Sent to Mr. Scott. We note with deep sorrow that President Wilson has approved of the findings of the court martial] by which six brave colored soldiers are to be hanged for participation in the Houston riots in August, 1917. Death sentence of ten others were commuted to life imprisonment. It will be remembered that these soldiers were acting in self defense from the fact that they had been mistreated and assaulted by the police of Houston and it had been reported to them that a mob of white men had threatened to sweep down upon their camp and drive them out. Acting on this information the soldiers prepared themselves and receiving orders from non-commissioned officers that the mob was descending, upon them, they begin to fire and at the same time marching upon the town, which action resulted in the death of several persons. They were taken to Fort Sam Houston, disarmed and through the policy of Texas officers investigation was started and some weak minded soldiers from the South who had been in the service only a few months were induced to turn state's evidence on a promise of immunity. From what we have read of the trial it seems that this was a kangaroo court and the men were never fairly tried. There have been three court martials. Sixty-three soldiers were tried in the first which resulted in the hating of thirteen without their cases ever being reviewed by President Wilson. Forty others were sent to the Federal prison for life and the remaining ten were disposed of in various ways, three or four were sent to military prison and a few were given jail sentences. A second court martial resulted in the conviction of sixteen which sentences President Wilson has just approved with the following statement: "I commute the remaining sentences," the president said in a statement attached to the record, "because I believe the lesson of this lawless rio will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and that now directed and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which those soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and services to the country they are citizens of and for the liberations of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle." It is amusing to us to read this comment when we think that President Wilson has just issued an order against mob violence and here approves of the hanging of six brave soldiers and thirteen have already been hanged for the same offense without in our opinion the same as lynching. The President has at this time under consideration the case of five others who were sentenced to be hanged for participation in the riots. This makes a total of twenty-four brave colored soldiers to be executed for participation in the Houston riots. The President says that the reason he commutes the sentences of these ten is because of the loyalty shown by the colored people and the bravery of the boys at the "very front." We fall to understand how the colored soldiers or the colored race are to gain any consolation from this statement when thirteen soldiers have already been put to death and the cases of eleven more are hanging in the balance expecting at any time to be executed. It seems to us that this would strike constarination in the hearts of the brave colored soldiers at the front and those at home like. The evidence shows that this riot at Houston occurred in the night when it was very dark and it was impossible to tell who were taking part. These soldiers were convicted upon chauvinistic evidence given by soldiers forced to testify as they did on account of fear or promise made them for their own safety. As President Wilson has well said, our colored officers and soldiers are loyally doing their part in a patriotic way, and are bravely hearing arms for the defense of democracy in this country and yet at the same time the President has been informed of the mistreatment of colored soldiers in this country, but as yet no steps seem to have been taken to correct this evil It is a shame and disgrace to Christian civilization to have all of those men executed and imprisoned for trying to defend their rights in Texas. The officers who are responsible for starting this trouble have never been punished to any extent. Was it Moore's Unthoughtfulness and Scott's Anxiety to Make Good? We desire to call the attention of the public and especially the colored people as to the why we think this approval of the findings of this court martial by the President was rushed through after laying dormant for several months. Following is a copy of a letter which we sent to Mr. Fred R. Moore of The New York Age. Mr. Moore proceeds to send the letter to Emmet J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, and Mr. Scott in turn presents the letter to Secretary Baker. We are printing below copy of the letter sent to Mr. Moore by Mr. Scott after the letter written by us had been brought to the attention of the Secretary of War: Our Letter to Mr. Moore. Topkea, Kans, July 31, 1918. Mr. Fred R. Moore, Editor The Age. New York, City. New York. My Dear Sir: I am contemplating a trip East, starting about August 20 and would like for you to arrange a meeting for me that I might get before some patriotic people of the race and make a talk with reference to the Kansas Defense Society, an organization which is raising funds to defend those soldiers of the 24th Infantry who were court married for participation in the Houston riots and are now incarcerated in the federal prison at Leuvenworth. For this same offense, as you will remember, thirteen were hanged. This case was never reviewed by President Wilson and we have secured three lawyers who are preparing to bring habeas corpus proceedings in the United States court as we expect to take this case to the high court in the land. If necessary, I will visit New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and some people in Indiana; and shall ask the disposed to donate whatever they feel patriotic colored citizen will do something in this matter. Let me hear from you if you can arrange this meeting or get someone to do so. I shall let you know the exact date that I will be in your city. Scott Replies to Moore. Washington, Aug. 12, 1918. Mr. Fred R. Moore, 247 W. 46th Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Moore: I am returning herewith the letter addressed to you by Mr. Nick Chiles. The Secretary of War thinks it would be most in- advisable to have Mr. Chiles under- take such a speaking tour as he sug- gests. The Secretary says: "I do not know what lawyers he has retained, but I feel perfectly certain that no cases have ever been examined with as much care as the Houston Riot cases are now receiving. I have substantially completed my examination of them, but the record covers thousands of pages, and when the President is called upon to act he will be fully informed of every circumstances which can in any way be made to operate in favor of the convicted men." Under the circumstances it seems to me that it would not be unwise for you to communicate these facts to Mr. Nick Chiles. I am enclosing carbon copy of this letter for that purpose unless you care to send the original. In the first instance Mr. Moore had no business sending the letter to Mr. Scott and Mr. Scott had no business presenting our letter to the Secretary of War. It seems to us that the War Department was sleeping on this matter that the President has just approved and probably intended to leave it until after the war. From the tenor of Mr. Scott's letter it seems that the War Department got busy and rushed this matter through and sent it to the President for approval. No doubt this is the finding of the War Department and the President merely approved what they sent up to him. We are very sorry that Mr. Scott presented this letter to the Secretary of War and it is our opinion that had this letter been kept from the War Department that these soldiers would have had longer to live.

Wallace of Carthage, Missourl, was a pleasant visitor in the city for a day or so. Mra. H. V. Wallace, we regret to learn, is very i at her mother’s home in Mont+ gomery, “You are supporting. the two war amendments, of course 1” “What war amendments?” “Why the amendment to American: ize the ballot in Kansas, and the amendment to make our state schov.s, which are really great wae planta, more «ficient by putting them 07 @ nermanent basis and reparating their funds from other state funds in the same way that the other school funds are kept separate and sacred to edu- cation.” “You bet, I'm for them both.” Thut ts the way cvcrypody tale when he understands the purpose of the tvo amendments to the atate con+ stitution that are to be voted an No« vember 5. The State Council of Defense re- gards the Permanunt Income Amend- ment as of so much importance that it has appointed a commttee on ed- ucational efficiency to bring It to the attention of voters so that no one may inadvertently fail to vote for it thruog lack of understanding. “The war hes ciaced, a new burden on our schools,” declared Ed T, Hach- ney of Wellington, chairman of the committee. “They are training spec- jahsts for this highly techincal war. Their chops, laboratories and class- rooms have hundreds of men wear- ing the khahi under detail from| Uncle Sam, and helping to make the world safe for all of us. “These institutions must be made permanent, and to be permanent they must have a permanent income.” The difference between the old grab-| bag method and the new is, that the Legislature will determine the fixed and regular needs of the state edu- cational institutions and establish a levy to meet these needs and that that levy will continue until the need changes. The Legislature can change the levy at any time. Leading business men have urged for years that the schools are big businese instifutions, and that the beat business methods should be used In supporting them. Members of the Legislature have long appreciated the wastefulness of the old plan. The presiding officers of the two houses, W. Y. Morgan, lieutenant governor, and A. M. Keene, speaker of the house, say: “We are convin- ced that the Permanent Income Amendment would greatly expedite the work of future legislatures, and allow them to provide for the schools more effectively and efficiently.” ‘The official state war body adopted 8 resolution July 11, 1918, in which it says, “The Council of Defense fully endorses both of the amend- ments, and asks the people of Kansas to vote for them as war measures.” Under the new plan the people will know what they are raising mony for, and the funds used for expenses of the state can be more easily scrutin. ized, The schools will be able to save money on salaries, on maintenance. and on construction work, since they can plan for years ahead. along lines lof greatest economy and efficiency. |. The state wil thus enable its Bus. incsa Manager to get the best result: by giving him the same conditions for doing his work that any business manager of a great concer shoulc have, The amendment wil take the state institutions out of politics.
