The Twenty-First Year. No 42. RALPH TYLER DEFENDS SOLDIERS AGAINST B Able War Correspo Lie to Harvey's No 42. --- Columbus Ohio Nov 8--Ralph W Tyler has sent the editor of Hare veys Weekly the following letter, condemning his brutal attack on Col- ored soldiers Editor Harvey's Weekly. New York N. Y. Sir In the November 1st number of your pamphlet, which you dignify with the name of "Harvey's Weekly," you print one of the most brutal and unsupported editorial attacks ever made on the colored soldier and the colored race, under the caption, "The Negro Soldier." I am in doubt as to whether you wrote the editorial or whether Col. Allen J. Green late chief of staff for the 92d (colored) Division, wrote it. If you did write it, then Col. Greer must have furnished the alleged information for on applying "the deadly parallel." I find that throughout your editorial you use, verbatim, of ceramium, the contents of that letter Col. Greer wrote Senator McKeller, under date of Dec. 6, 1919. But Col. Greer, lacking consistency, which is even an admirable trait in a soldier as well as an editor or pamphleteer, had previously issued numerous general orders and memorandum extolling in the highest terms the colored soldiers of the 92d Division for efficiency, department and bravery; had issued orders to confer the D. S. C on scores of colored officers and men for "exceptional" bravery in the face of the enemy, signing these orders and memorandum with his full name and affixing his military title I hereto to attest to their genuineners. Col. Greer's letter to Senator McKeller, under date of Dec. 6, 1914, and to which your, or his editorial suggests the deadly parallel, was written to discourage the use of colored men in the army, either as officers or men, and it would appear from your editorial referred to that between you and Col. Greer there exists a gentleman's (2) agreement to assassinate the colored soldier even those who fell on Flanders field to establish something they had never enjoyed democracy. I can understand the promoting for Col. Griever's antagonism to the colored soldier and colored race. If a report that was generally circulated throughout the 92d Division is correct, alleging that a colored officer thrashed him—his superior for directing abusive, profane words, to him when they both met at the home of a certain French woman, the colonel and chief of staff being camouflaged in a lieutenant's uniform, as the report allowed the colored officer was allowed to sign. I must, if this report is correct, I can understand the prompting for such antagonism for the colored race, or if I cannot understand his insensitivity in first extolling the colored soldiers of his division in his general orders, and then asking them after the armies had been signed, but I am at a loss to understand your antagonism, unless you have been hypnotized by Col. Green, who evidently wrote your editorial or implied the lying information. I was with the 23rd Infantry for six weeks us war correspondent, and I know every statement you and Col Greer make is brutally false, a damnable injustice to the hundreds of armed soldiers whose blood died and whose bones are now fertilizing the soil of France to help "make the world safe for democracy." The records in the War Department even copies of Col Greer's orders of commation brand your editorial and blatant letter of Dec. 6 as false. The general orders of Gen Sherburn commanding the 1677th Artillery Brigade (the artilliers of the 93d Division), brand your editorial and its supporting Col Greer's letter is false. The testimonies of Gen Burnum commanding the 183d Brigade, 92d Division, brands it as false. The final general order of Gen Ballouis, commanding the 92d Division, gives the use to your editorial, the cabled information to the War Department from Gen Pershing in August, 1914, brands it as false. The fact that of the only three American regiments whose colors were decorated with the Croix de Guerre were colored regiments, 169th, 179th and 271st brands your editorial and Col Greer's supporting letter is false. Unfortunately, for you, only a few days after your pamphlet, stitched "Harvey's Weekly," was issued, the War Department gave out a report of an investigating board examining the 89th Regiment of the 92nd Division of alleged cowardice which you, with your Greerouchaff information, assumed to be an unethical fact. The 92nd Division colored the first to sail for France, fought splendidly, endured horribly, and those who fell to the no more dreaded violence in different to fate where they were dying in their country. The 92nd Division's brilliant valorous stand in The Kansas del that Inferno Bois Frehaut, the woods which neither the French nor fighting Senegalese could hold, but which the 22d did hold, is sufficient to give it a place in history as a fighting unit, and to bring remain green in memory after Harvey's Weekly and its assigned about contributing editor, Col. Greer have been forgotten. The public will prefer to accept the testimony of war correspondents who were at the front, and of commanding officers who, unlike Col. Greer, have no particular reason to demean brave black soldiers—those living and maimed and those dead than to accept the testimony of Col. Greer and the editor of Harvey's Weekly, who was more than three thousand miles from the secee of conflict If I should permit your false charge to go unchallenged, the spirit forms of the black soldiers who bravely, horribly fell in this Argonne, at Champaign in No Man's Land, in Poles Frehaut and other bloody fields on which they bravely fought and horribly fell, would rise up and pointing their skeleton fingers of storm at me, call me traitor—just what they and the living are calling you today. An editor ought to be advised before he lies on the brave. RALPH W TYLER --- ASK PRESIDENT FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IN ARKANSAS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, on Nov. 14th made public a telegram to President Wilson asking an immediate Federal Investigation of conditions in Phillips County, Arkansas, scene of recent race riots, where it is alleged Negroes are being railroadded to death and state prison.

Fifty four Negroes have, according to the press, been sentenced to terms of from one to twenty-one years in state prison. No word has come of proceedings against white men although upwards of twenty-five Negroes were killed in the disturbance. A representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People visited the Department of Justice in Washington on Saturday, November 1, and placed by the hands of Mr G. F. Ruech of that Department information giving just grounds for hellor 1-That not only had no "massacres of whites" been planned by Negroes of Phillips County, but 2 That the Negroes in Phillips and collegiate counties have been more clearly exploited under a system simply of manage, and 3 That the Negroes had organized not to "pass away" skilled but to choose legal jobs by peaceful means. If our information is correct to gallized who we murder is being committed in Phillips County May we, through your request an ammy dive into Federal Investigation" JAMES WELDON JOHNSON DONATES TO HOSPITAL.

Nuff said when one graces the table at Mrs Woodard's home THE CAUSE OF RACE RIOTS Views of a Christian Newspaper. THE CAUSE OF RACE RIOTS Views of a Christian Newspaper. Launching is an abominable crime, but in comparison with such outbursts of interracial strife as have branded July, 1919, as a month of shame and a month of menace, the irregular execution of a law breaker in almost a virtue. In Washington and in Chicago for several days, and especially nights, masses of white-specific grievance again each other, and colored persons, who had no were arrayed in arms. In certain sections and at certain times no person of either race, however hoffen give in act or demeanor, could show himself in a "zone" of the other with it risk of being shot down. The causes of these outbreaks, as of some that preceded them—and, it is to be feared, of more to follow Washington there had been a "crime were not simple. It is said that in issue" of cases of violence and robbery by colored men, and that in Chicago a Negro lad had broken an unwritten law by intruding at a public bathing beach and had paid the pennies with his life. These incidents only struck out the spark that set the touchwood ablaze. Back of these occasions lies a long course of racial history, involving economic and social conditions, going back through generations, and leading straight down to and through the European war. The fundamental cause is the insecurities, ancient and indestructible and nowhere apore active and notions than here and now. Recent events only emphasize the error of attributing this attitude of mind exclusively to the Southern States. Next is the burning sense of injustice instigated upon the Southern Negro by depriving him of his voting rights. We must also take into account the weakening influence of the war he held the horizon of the Negro colonies and offered to some of them an experience of freedom such as American democracy had never afforded. Finally here is the pilot war to mandate whether financed from fourmys or Portboard which has automatically preached to this dark case of but ten borrowers the gospel of diet torchlight of the prodocrat Negro editors and orators have been taking their people that their hitherto recognized leaders in the colleges and churches are tools of an exploiting capitalism. lives are some of the reasons which such a little matter as the snatching out of a white woman's purse by a crooked youth, or the burglars of a Negro bather on a white man's beach kindles all the evil elements of a city's life into a fierce flame. The smoldering race feeling ignites, and both races lose their reason and make one war on one another till the dead are numbered by scores. And long after order reigns again the wave of suspicion and hottest spreads in widening circles to break on every shore where men of on blood but of different ship must dwell and work together. It will not do to throw the whole blame of these outbreaks upon the vicious classes. The heaviest share belongs to the unlightened and more classes who have been content to live their own pleasant and sheltered lives, unfateful of conditions that were ripening toward such a crisis if men who profess to believe in freedom and pure democracy with no protest when a race is not called excluded from its legal right they are largely to blame if that race cherishes a sullen sense of justice. If there is one standard of educational privilege for the boy with a dark skin, and another for the with a dark skin, and another for the one race cannot monologue about privileges without embittering the other. These are not points of social equality." they are If on the Christian people in Northern cities the Negro would not an alligation to which he had no directive no one would resist a were a challenge on the one to a strange person that needed him and brotherlines and help which white people with white hearts could provide. We hold them here and endequate execution. mortor officers, and saloon keepers. The enemy of all war is love, whether between races, clauses or nations. So long as we love ourselves we do not fulfill the law of Christ and we cannot come off blameless when the witnesses of our neglect, indifference and injustice mainly indulge in deeds of violence. If the race troubles in Washington and Chicago shall awaken the people to give the colored American a square deal the bloodshed will not have been entirely in vain. Christ an advocate.

BRISTOW, OKLAHOMA. A race war of unusual proportions was narrowly averted here one day this week by the prudence of Mrs. Williams and Wakefield Miss Nancy Taylor, a country girl of refinement and a young white woman of the lynch variety, ran into each other on the streets by accident: "Excuse me?" pleaded Miss Taylor. The white woman brutally called her a black nigger wench and struck her a backhanded blow. The colored girl retaliated with a short upper-cut, and her white antagonist went down, and arising from a pool of her own blood, began yelling for help. Both were arrested and carried to Blatow halls of justice where the blind goddess was outraged by Prussian democracy; the girl of color being tined and the white woman was exonorated by not being taxed anything. Miss Taylor and her party started home but the husband of the quintess white woman secured a warrant for Miss Taylor, who was again arrested and arranged before Justice Livingston. By this time the city halls were being crowded with curious looking white people and Negroes were not allowed to interfere. It was heard from all sides that a necktie party would convene at a designated time of the night because the colored girl could not get bond. Drs. Williams and Wakefield were notified and both at once proceeded towards the city halls and asked why Miss Taylor could not get bond. The Justice said "Wakefield, you and Dr. Williams can go her bond. They both skinned Miss Taylor asked the court if she was through and he said yes until the evening of the gift. She arose and thanked the colored phlephimus for their kindness. Under hems colored guards she and her party departed home. It was evident that a race war was eminent, not like the Arkansas massacre of the whites by the blacks, but like Atlanta of old. It was the nearest to a race conflict that we have ever had in this vicinity. But no more Blatow women will allow white men or women to intrude upon them so long as we have the best blood of the race behind us. We will continue to push our battles to the gates. Our best blood has been sacrificed to the god of battles for the protection of American institutions and under God we will die by them. Dr. Chas. B Wickham, of Tulsa grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was in Bristow Monday in the interest of the order. Editor Nick Chilow was in Bristow on business Thursday.

He told of the wonderful achievements of the N. A. A. C. P. and made a strong appeal to members of the race to get into the association and also induce their white friends to join. He was strong, yes bitter in his denunciation of Jim Crow, segregation the wholesale murder of race men by socalled courts of justice in Arkansas.

NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Notice is hereby given that on the 25th day of October, A. D., 1919, the undersigned was, by the probate court of Shawnee County, Kansas, duly appointed administrator of the estate of Robert W. Wheeler, late of Shawnee County, deceased. All parties interested in said estate will take notice and govern themselves accordingly. W. H. JAMISON. Administrator. GARDEN CITY ,KANS Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor, Toronto, Peddoles. Dear Sir, Please allow me space in your paper for the news of Garden City. I arrived in the city on the 10th day of Oct. 1919 finding a large population of colored people. They are getting song fine, majority owning their homes. I also want to state to you that the members of the church received me with high gratitude. They have a beautiful three room parsonage. I had nothing to do but come in and take charge. Sunday morning at 9:30 had a beautiful Sunday school, 11 a.m. a fair congregation and at 8:30 p.m. a re-inforced congregation, house practically packed. I selected for my text the 3rd chapter of John, 3rd verse; "We know that thou art a teacher that came from God" Subject, "He Is Wonderful." The admonition of the holy spirit reigned supreme. They have some of the finest school buildings I know of anywhere, North, South, or East. As for agriculture it is a fine country. The people raise practically everything they use in the home. Plenty of work to do. Street paying and farming. For farm work they pay 40 cents an hour, for street work 50 cents an hour and cannot get help at that price. Carpenters are wanted far and near. They have sugar and other factories. Last but not least, I am so far west until I had to move my watch back one hour. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Roberts of Coffeyville, Kans, arrived here on the 10th to remain for the winter in benefit of her health. At this writing she is feeling much improved. I remain, yours for the Master's cause. Rev. T. E. Walker, Pastor. St. Paul A. M. E. Church TOPEKA'S FIRST COLORED- LICENSED & MEMBER G. W. Hamilton MARY S.

In the past two years this old order has been successful in holding up F L. T. and took care of the sick, buried the dead, looking after the widows and orphans as well and by so doing the Odd Fellows are bound to go over the top. The only way to make success is for this family to stand on the foundation of truth, with these blessing from God, the ruler of heaven and earth. I will say to the District Grand No., Kansas Jurisdiction stand for F L. T. and hold up the banner which has almost passed through the jaws of death, fighting for truth, which is the light of the world. The people of Kansas have their eyes on this old order. Sometimes we have been down but now we are on the top, and as we have made a good fight to lift up falling humanity by walking the line of F. L. T. This family has held on to the alter of justice Peace, happiness and prosperity are the help mate of this band of men who came to our aid after 18 years of hard labor and still on the battle front willing and ready to help at any time. The membership has gained in the last year greater than ever before, standing at 1,000 in July, 1919. The End, has increased, collecting over $2,000; the G. L. treasure has increased more than ever before and the burial department paid all claims and had a nice balance in treasure. This goes to show that every brother is working and not asleep. It is my duty to say, stand for what is right and justice will come in due time and increase our membership. I am calling on every lodge in this district to put on a campaign for one year so we may go over the top in July at Omaha and say we, the Odd Fellows of Kansas have a membership of 1,500. We have made a good stand and received just what we asked for. We have kept the and I have done what you told to do. We are standing on the promise of F. L. T. Bless be the name of the Lord.
