* Our Job Rooms are Prepared to Care for Anything You Have to Print---Give us a Trial Order REV. S. E. J. WATSON SPEAKS BEFORE WHITE MINISTERS UOION On December 11th the Rev S K J. Watson appeared before the Ministers Union (white) of Topeka in response to an invitation, and told that body some things that made them set up and take notice. Itv Watson is one of the ablest men of the country, and the Baptist denomination would show wisdom and progress if they would make him president of the National Convention. He is big enough, bold enough and brave enough to not only elevate that body but push the whole race forward. The address follows ```markdown ``` Your program committee has manifested a deep interest in the people of my race by asking you to listen to me discuss, in a feeble way. The Present Unrest. I believe that there is no better place to discuss such questions than in meetings such as we have today. For these questions will never be settled in the right way until the better people of both races agree as to the settlement and work together. J. N.Y. S. E. J. WATSON, Leader and Able Divine Who Should Be Made President of the National Baptist Convention. There are no people on earth that have in them what it takes to succeed in the world, who are willing to be governed by another people without their consent and participation. The Irish were not willing to be governed by the English nor the Fins by the Italians, nor the Belgians by the Germans, nor the Congo by the Belgians. Women are not willing to be so governed by the men. And the American Negro is not willing to be governed by the American white man without his consent and cooperation. Just as long as the Negro is taxed without representation and is not allowed to participate in the government of the nation—just so long will he be the victim of cruelty and outrage at the hand of the citizen who has the lordship over him. The nation could not exist half slave and half free under Abraham Lincoln and it cannot exist half law abiding and half under Woodrow Wilson. Ha la Merely Human Shall the American Negro be this only one that will lose the thing for which he fought. The French fought for Alsace Lorraine and they got it. The English fought for democracy and they got that. The Italians fought to rid their golden borders of the bread of barbarians and back to the mountains the Austrians were driven. The American white man fought for glory and he has been crowned with it. The American Negro went into no man's land and fought that he might make for him self a place in some man's land where he could be a citizen invested with all of its rights. He fought for the protection of the French women from the invading foe, but he was fighting at the same time for the protection of the women of his own race in Dixie. With a steady hand he pulled the trigger and helped reduce the German army, but at the same time he was fighting that he might use that same steady hand to mark the X on his ballot and have it counted. The Negro is neither angelic nor diabolical, but merely human, and should be dealt with as such. This situation is not one that can be dealt with by simply branding the Negro with inferiority. It is a humilitarian problem, and no one is prepared to help the people of my race who cannot think from the view point from which my people are forced to look. A rich man once lost a fine horse for which he offered a liberal reward. Man had searched the country over and had failed to find the horse. A half-witted boy] in the community, found the horse after all others had given up the search. When he was asked how did he find the horse he replied. I just insisted that I was a horse and then went to where I would have gone had I been a horse and there I found the horse." No one really sympathizes with us in the hardships that we have to endure unless he can think himself in our place. Overworked, underfed, poorly clothed, wretchedly housed and often cruelly mistreated the Negro's body has often grown distorted and mis-shaped to match the burdens that he has had to bear. Mexican Has Privileges Mexican Has Privileges I was born and reared in the South and truly know the viewpoint from which the people of my race look down in Dixie. If you should leave here today and go back to my old home, as I cross the state line into Oklahoma I am told that of all the people in America I am the most unworthy. That I must go down into a dirty and unsanitary end of the car which seems flit for only beasts sometimes. As I go to this place I pass the Mexican who has shaken the red flag in the face of the United States is comfortably seated in his chair with the white towel under his head. I ask is this good for him My answer is NO, for he has taken the oath of citizenship and the Constitution, the flag, and the American honor give it to him I pass on and ally him well. I pass foreigners of every type, many are not citizens, but have only expressed a desire to be. Some of these cling to their luggage as if it is already loaded with bombs. I ask is this too good for these. My answer is firm. But why should I, a true and tried friend of this country and its people, be so branded in the eyes of all Children will ask Why do these have to leave now? What will the answer be? My child will ask why did we have to leave the comforts in here and be crowded into this place? What should my answer be? When we went to war with Great Britain, France sent some of its best soldiers and helped us to win in the great struggle, so when the recent war broke out we gladly mingled the stars and stripes with her tri-colors to help overthrow the earth's most insolent empire. England has bowed to the spirit of arbitration and settled, without bloodshed some questions of very great magnitude, so in this recent war we also entwined England's lion with these colors. Gratitude seems to call forth kindness for kindness for all, but for the people of my face. We have by our faithfulness purchased our rights of citizenship in this the land of the free, and yet we have injustice upon injustice begged on us. Better Rules for Cattle Texas will pass a law, for a little train and will demand that cattle be stopped within so many hours and watered and fed. But a woman may race with six children is forced to ride all the way from Texas to El Paso, the distance of about 800 miles, crowded into a small compartment into which the conductor and brakeman have put all their drink with no place for the little ones to sleep, no place to eat, and not allowed to eat in a single eating house along the road. The Negro has witnessed more than 200,000 foreigners resolve these privileges that are denied him just for crossing the Atlantic and having declared their intention of becoming American citizens. He has stood by and has not complained as he has seen the key to every American institution from the coal mine to the White House turned over to these foreigners while the Negro himself has remained a foreigner here in the land of his birth. I say an alien because the Negro has never received the full rights of American citizenship. The Bill of Lading was delivered to him in the 14th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution but the package has never come. My people stand today without a peer as the most unprotected class of people in America. Through all these days he has been simply waiting until his taking comes, comes, but is now beginning to sing. "Watchman How Long" Judge Lynch Holds Court These 29,000 non-tongliers have been responsible for much of the trouble that we have had in our fair land for long time. Had the American Negro receive the same treatment that these others have had he would not have proven the ungrateful fellow that so many of these have shown themselves to be. Judge Lynch has held open court in this country and under his swa many crimes too horrible to mention have been committed against our people. When we have made a protest against lynching the cry has come back to us "Move the cause and it will cease to be" in the 20 years down to 1914 there have been 1955 people of my race lynched in the United States. Of this number only 275 of them were accused of race In the past thirty years there have been fifty women of my race lynched. And in the past twelve months five women have been lynched. In the last five years to 1918 there have been 264 lynched and only twenty-eight accused of rape. This will show that this one cause being removed will stop the evil. Georgia led the states with 17 lynchings, Mississippi followed with 10, Alabama and Louisiana dividing the honor of third place with 8 lynchings each. The tabulations follow!

But is it just for us to compare records on this matter? If so when the Congressional Committee on Immigration in 1911 made a study of crime in the United States, in the New York Court of General Session there were 2,282 cases and the Negro showed a lower percentage for the crime of rape than either the foreign born whiten or the native born. The record showed foreign born whiten 1.8 per cent, the native born .8 and the Negro .5. In many cases the Negro is unfairly branded and then made to suffer because of his brand. There are many towns in the Southland that are noted for their mulatto people, and since it is fully known that the Negro man is not responsible for their being in the world, we have wondered why some reform has not been begun that will cause this double standard of living to cause. Many of these men have bought homes for women of my race and are rearing two families and will find come reason to have any man of my race lynched who will tell what his eyes see. It is my opinion that this question has been dealt with largely from the wrong points of the triangle. The triangle of cooperation has been set in the wrong way. Thus fat, in a large degree, the point of the triangle has been turned down and the bad people of both races have been too close together, while the best people of both races have been too far apart. This triangl must be turned up the other way so that the bid of both races will be put apart and the best of both races will be brought close together for these conditions must be settled and worked out along lines that are satisfactors to both races. Little Spent on Education Little Spent on Education It is the hope of the people of my pace that those who are interested in us will visit our churches and in every way study the real condition of our people. If we study the states of the Union we will find that we have done best where we have had the best chances (Where little is spent on us by the Government we have made little advancement. In Louisiana $49.00 is spent on each white child and $2 on each colored child.) We need not ask why so much is heard about the hard times among our people there, and that 444 out of every 1000 are illiterate. In Alabama it is $20 for each white child and $2 for each colored child and 401 illiterate to the 1000. In Mississippi they spend only $8 for each white child and $1 for each colored child and we can get almost any kind of person from there white or colored For the last fifty years we have been breaking up The Grand United Order of Workers and today we have slay four banks, 100 insurance companies, four publishing houses, 27,000 preachers, 31,000 teachers, 20,000 in business, 50,000 in profes- Plaindealer slons, 300,000 following skilled trades. 5,000,000 church members with 2,555,453 Negro Baptists at the last count.

Nov. 24—"Come let us reason together," was in substance the invitation sent out to representative white people and colored people of Arkansas which brought together many of the same citizens of both races today in conference looking forward to better understanding between the races in Arkansas, and if possible in every particular, allay the strained relations, which have been brewing for several months. The conference was called to the Governor's office but it was inadequate to hold the large number who responded, hence it was held in the house of Representative Chamber, which was filled to overflow, even every space in the gallery was occupied. That there will be much good accomplished, there can be no question. The entire audience rose, and led by Bishop James It Winstonchester cited the Lord's prayer, and this was followed by remarks by Governor Brush who stated why he had called the conference, which was for the purpose of discussing the treatment of the relation between the races, which had been strained by reason of rebellion in Phillips County, and the bad without qualification it was an insurrection and a damnably one at that. He had gone to the scene personally, and if he had not gone with the Federal troops, many lives put tooth rates would have been lost. The Governor wanted it understood that the people of Arkansas would settle their own problems and would not call on outsiders to help to do it "When I want advice," he said, "I do not intend to go to New York, Chicago Boston or Topeka, Kansas for it. If I want advice from white people, I will ask the Arkansas white people, and if I want advice from Negroes I will seek it from the Arkansas Negroes. We are going to hear from both alides. We have representative white men and representative colored men, and they are going to talk to you." At this point the governor told of his going to Elaine and of his treatment there, and how he had told Dr E. C. Morris that he expected him to help out in putting down the trouble, and had got on his assurance that everything possible would be done. He then called upon Dr. Morris to make the first address. Dr. E. C. Morris was perfectly at ease and at himself as he pleaded the cause of his race. He realized that much was expected, and he seemingly welged well every word he said. Once he was interrupted by a prominent white man, who desired that the white people who did not know Dr. Morris, should know the man who was speaking to them, thereby making what he said more valuable. For a quarter of a century, the speaker had been president of the National Baptist Convention the largest religious organization in the world and he reminded them, that just a few days ago, Dr. Morris was elected for the thirty-eighth time, president of the state convention and is considered the logical leader of the Negro Baptists of the world. Dr Morris then proceeded to take up the cause of his people. He did not know first handed anything about the Elaine trouble for which he had lived in Phillips County, forty-three years, and all of that time in Helena, he had never been in Elaine, and did not know the men who were convicted. For a few minutes he was on the witness stand so to speak, and many questions were poured in to him by the governor and others. He was calm, deliberate and careful in each answer. When asked concerning the position of the colored people on the Jim Crow Laws in the state, said if he thought the colored people were satisfied, to the question he said he desired to be perfectly frank and speak as he would in Helena where he had spent forty-three years. "We want you to be frank said the governor, "Then" replied Dr Morris, "the Jim Crow law is an insult to the South and a step back ward. My people are not satisfied with it, and we hope the tam will come when it will be re-railed. I from this I want it understood that we would not seeking to sit down by while we would seek to rid with each other, but we do not like prescription. It is a shame that if I were going to New York with the governor on an important mission, that I would have to wait until I got out of the state should I desire to sit down and talk on some important matters with our governor" Dr Morris believed in the South and while he had received threaten letters, and some one said he ought to be chased out of the South he was here and here to stay. He declared he was not afraid of any thing or anybody, and that he was too old to run, moreover did not intend to run, for he was going to obey the law, "I do not carry a gun either." Amos Jarman, treasurer of Phillips County, and who had served as chief deputy under Sheriff Kitchen, was the next speaker. He had been in the Elaine trouble and was supposed to know more about it than anybody else, especially about the conviction of the men. He related the story from the first shot to the conviction of the men, some of whom were awaiting death and others had started on their prison terms. During his six years in the office of the sheriff, he said that he had been fair to Negroes: he had many of them on his plantation, and his people had them and he challenged anyone to stand up and say that he or any of the Jarman family had not treated the Negroes fair, and even since the trouble, not one had left his farm. He told about the killing of the Johnson brothers; told the story only in part. He told how his friend, who was not accustomed to being an officer, had been relieved of his revolver and killed and then the shooting became general and he could not say who killed the Johnson boys, but at this point he broke down and said he could not discuss it. He drew a grewsom picture of the Johnson boys and said that the one who lived in Helena was a bad egg. Bishop J. M. Conner, the leader of the A. M. E. church, and a purely race man, was the next speaker, and he put in some telling strokes for the race. He is held in high esteem by Governor Brough and all looked forward with interest to the talk of Bishop Conner. He said he was a Negro and was proud of it and there was nothing on earth that could get him to change his identity with his race. He formed a part of the making of history. His future was before him. The way had been made for others and the way for his race had to be made and he was proud to be helping to make it. He said that it had often been said that the white man of the South was the best friend the Negro ever had and he wanted to remind the South that the Negro was the best friend the white man of the South ever had and he was a far better friend than the Germans during the last war and stood ready to die for and by his white brother and not to kill him. He told of the part which had been taken by the Negro in destroying the Hindenburg line, and he was still ready to die for his country. There was an important meeting in the afternoon in which the two races got down to business. There was not so much speech making and display of oratory, but a real heart to heart talk, and putting in slight an understanding, and the mapping out of something tangible to be done. Upon a resolution which was of opered by Dr. E. C. Morris, it was deided to submit to the Supreme Court, the cases of the men con- vinced for murder in Elaine, took races as a unit in the agreement. Then to further get down to racial helpfulness, a special committee was appointed consisting of nine white men and eight colored, which will re- port at a meeting to be held Monday. The following are the members of the committee. Governor Brogus, ex officio chairman, Rev. John Van Lear, John L. Hunter, Dr. J. H. Keynolds, A. B. Hill, Robert E. Walt, John M. Gracie, Louis Altheimer and G. D. Henderson White; D. J. Money, J. M. Cox, J. A Booker, S. L. Green, H. C. Verger, E. C. Morris, Bishop J. M. Conner, Scott Bond, colored. There were many important questions discussed in the executive session of the conference, and the colord people had an opportunity to tell the white men about the short-comings of the state, the failure to provide an agricultural school for Negroes, the failure to have a reform school for Negro youth and many other things which will be looked into. It forecasts a better condition in the state for all the people. The execution of the men convicted has been stayed by order of the governor until acted upon by the State Supreme Court -Hot Springs (Ark) Echo We are not worrying about the governor of Arkansas not seeking or wanting our advice, but we are indeed grateful to him for carrying out our advice. The above program is exactly what we requested of him. It was followed to the better and brighter many matters before the governor and the better class of white people of the state concerning the outages perpetrated upon the colored race. We must compliment Bishop Connors and President Mortis for the dignified and manly way in which they presented the case. Now we do not propose to let us on colored leaders in the South until they do something for the settlement of both races in the South. They must either get up and talk plain or get out. All public man who draw money from the people either by preaching, teaching, holding public positions or publishers, must show their hand. We have a policy whereby we shall let everybody know you are posing as a leader, shall use words that you should use, in short, put words into your mouth for which you will either deny affirm or leave the country. There are thousands of would be leaders in the South setting on the lid holding the race down and playing favorites with the rough element of white man who are trying Price $1.50 Per Year to debauch our women and rob our hard working, honest men out of their earnings This deplorable condition in the South is due to the weakness of our would be leaders. All they want is to act and look big and have a little more special privilege from the roughneck white man than the average honest colored man or woman. We are at a loss to know why President Morris has never been in the Virginia community where thousands of black people live. From statements made Amos Jarmen, county treasurer, and special deputy under Sheriff Kitchen, this Elaine county is where peonage exists in our belief and is the reason President Morris and other big leaders do not go to that place. This man Jarman talks like a man who has not treated colored people fair who have worked on his farm. It looks as if there were many Jarmans who control hundreds of acres of land and who work colored people from the statement of Amos concern the killing of the Johnson brothers it looks as if he knew who committed the crime or has a guilty knowledge. His statement is clear. Now let the governor act. We want President Morris to have warrant sworn out for the arrest of Jarman and other suspects. The sheriff and judge should be suspended from office until their actions in this riot have been thoroughly investigated. We do not know how guilty they are, but from reports concerning their action, the governor would be justified in calling them upon the carpet. We hope the colored men who were tried and convicted will have their cases reviewed by the Supreme Court, and the cases remanded and tried before some judge who will be fair if one can be found in Arkansas. Says The Plaintiff Did the Work Says The Plaindealer Did the Work Hon Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas Dear Sir and Bro: I have noted with satisfaction the sight that you are making in the interest of the race in general and those poor, condemned people of Phillips County in particular. You Will please note the following facts. That not a single juror was challenged by council for the state or defense; not a single exception noted by any of the council for the defendants, hence an inten-tional effort to close every opportunity for an appeal to the supreme court. They had what was known as a committee of seven which was in session for about three weeks before the setting of the court and during the session of the court. Every member of that committee of seven except one are planters and that one is a man who works a large number of laborers. It was they who gathered the evidence and dictated the penalties. It is also a well known fact that many of the men who sat on the jury were members of the mob and many of them were from Elaine neighborhood. The judge himself was a member of the mob or the so-called citizen posse. Another well known fact is that men from other counties in this state and various parts of Mississippi poured into Phillips County and joined the fight against the poor, defenseless colored people. You will also note that the papers sent you under separate cover that the two accused white men have been released without being tried because to have tried them meant a lawsuit, and therefore they could not have been convicted. There is an effort being put forth here to compromise this thing with the white people by allowing those who have been sentenced to the penitentiary to serve those sentences and to save those who have been condemned to death from the death sentence. Now Mr. Chiles that will be the greatest injustice done the race. Among those who have been sentenced to a little 15 year old boy, who was given 15 years in the plinthentiary. The whole thing consumed less than six days white at Memphis, Teen, a white man on trial for rape has been before the court for nearly a month and they have been able to secure only three men to serve on the jury. Please note the difference. If we don't receive outside help we are ruined. I dare not sign my name or also my fate will be the same as that of the Johnson brothers. I think your letter to the governor caused him to call a conference of white and colored leaders which conference met Monday of this week in Little Rock. The governor referred to your letter as well as other letters that he had received. Among the many things that he said, one was that he did not intend to be intimated by outside influence, when this teeth is that outside influence is the only influence that has made any impression upon him because the re has been no other kind brought to bear. You make whatever use of this you may see fit. Hoping that you may live long to fight the race's battle, I am. Your friend. P. N.- It has also leaked out that one lawyer for the defense wanted fifty put to death instead of twelve as he felt that would make a greater impression upon the Negroes. 1920 BANK ACCOUNT Save Save Save Save Save Save The Bank of Topeka Christmas Club No need shedding tears when Christmas, 1920, arrives.

The On Business Last Week Mr. Van Turner and Miss Viola Thanksgiving with homefolks returning on Wednesday Gems from St. John Recorder PEACE ON EARTH Let us approach the Christmas season with joy and gladness. The prophetic chant of the angels, "Glory to God in the illight, and on Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men," is being realized. The tremendous struggle to establish a world court, that will preserve peace among the nations of the earth, will succeed in 1920. In the lower animal world the tiger has evolved into a common house cat, the wolf into a watch dog, in fact nearly all animals have been domesticated. They have lain down together and they are being led by the little thus fulfilling the scripture. Who does not believe that these same evolutionary forces are at work in the hearts of men? The Recorder believes that we are nearing the time when our swords shall be beaten into plough shares and that "Man the World 'Oer Shall Brothers Be." THOUS SPIRIT OF GIVING Members of the home circle are asking themselves the question, "what shall we give father, mother, sister, brother or friend? This is a commendable spirit. But is it ALLO of the Christ spirit? How many gifts are given because returns are expected or because Mr. or Mrs. So and So belong to our circle? Let St. John try this time to see and make glad the poor and the un- fortunate. In so doing the church will enjoy the real beginnings of Heaven. Remember, the question is asked, "If we give only to those who love us, what thanks have we?" LESSONS FROM THE GOAL STRIKE The recent strike taught all of the people, including the miners, some lessons that they would have gained in no other way. The people are thinking as never before. They now know that the "flow of reason should govern in the demand of the unions for higher wages; that the increases enter into a higher cost of the necessities of all the people. For who does not know that in the settlement of the coal strike the higher wages will be met by an increase in the price of our food, clothing and shelter? Who does not know, too, that the additional cost of coal will be added to the already high prices of production and that the manufacturer, the jobber and the retailer will all pass this increased cost of coal on to the consumer? The business man has learned that the public can be trained to do its purchasing in fewer hours. The general public has learned conservation, work, recreation, rest and the absolute interdependence of each group upon every other group. The poor miner has learned that he is not superior to his government, that he cannot freeze the public into submission and that in this government of the people, for the people and by the people, no man or group of men will be tolerated, who will not play his part!
