LISTER IS RESPONSIBLE In the last legislature of Washington a bill was introduced by the Hon. R. A. Hutchinson, which passed both branches thereof, and had it not been vetoed by Governor Lister it would now be possible for the authorities to strike at the tap root of I. W. Wism now spreading so rapidly in the industrial centers of the state. The bill as passed was as follows: AN ACT defining the crime of criminal syndicalism and prescribing punishment therefor. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Washington: Section 1. Criminal syndicalism is the doctrine which advocates crime, sabotage, violence or other unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform. The advocacy of such doctrine, whether by word of mouth or writing, is a felony punishable as in this act otherwise provided. Sec. 2. Any person who: (1) By word of mouth or writing, advocates or teaches the duty, necessity or propriety of crime, sabotage, violence or other unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform; or (2) Prints, publishes, edits, issues or knowingly circulates, sells, distributes or publicly displays any book, paper, document or written matter in any form, containing or advocating, advising or teaching the doctrine that industrial or political reform should be brought about by crime, sabotage, violence or other unlawful methods of terrorism; or (3) Openly, wilfully and deliberately justifies, by word of mouth or writing, the commission or the attempt to commit crime, sabotage, violence or other unlawful methods of terrorism with intent to exemplify, spread or advocate the propriety of the doctrines of criminal syndicalism; or (4) Organizes or helps to organize, or becomes a member of or voluntarily assembles with any society, group or assemblage of persons formed to teach or advocate the doctrines of criminal syndicalism, Is guilty of a felony and punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than ten (10) years or by a fine of not more than five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars or both. Sec. 3. Wherever two or more persons assemble for the purpose of advocating or teaching the doctrines of criminal syndicalism as defined in this act, such an assemblage is unlawful and every person voluntarily participating therein by his presence, aid or instigation is guilty of a felony and punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than ten (10) years or by a fine of not more than five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars or both. Sec. 4. The owner, agent, superintendent, janitor, caretaker or occupant of any place, building or rooms, who wilfully and knowingly permits therein any assemblage of persons prohibited by the provisions of section 3 of this act, or who, after notification by sheriff or police that the premises are so used, permits such use to be continued, is guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than five hundred ($500.) dollars or both. Governor Ernest Lister, Olympia, Washington. Dear Sir: The papers are full of accounts of anarchists throughout the state, who are said to be plotting the destruction of property. The last legislature passed a bill, a copy of which I enclose. Had you permitted this bill to become a law, it would have tended to prevent and would have punished men advocating the crimes, of which our papers have so much to say at this time. But you vetoed this bill. In whose interests did you veto it, and why did you veto it? Please tell the people of Washington, for I know many of them would like to know your reasons. Respectfully yours, R. A. HUTCHINSON, Senator 4th District." Governor Lister has failed to answer that letter, but the anarchists are as active, in fact more active, than ever before, for they openly advocate, on the streets of Spokane, according to the Spokane Chronicle of July 25th, the destruction of our crops. I am sending you this letter in hopes you will publish the bill vetoed by the Governor, so the people may know whom Governor Lister serves. Respectfully yours, R. A. HUTCHINSON, Senator Fourth District. DIVIDING THE SWAG It is reported that the average householder in Seattle only pays $5 per ton for the cheaper grades of coal and from $7.50 to $8.00 per ton for the higher grades of coal, which costs $2.00 and $2.54 on the coal fields of King County. If D. C. Botting makes this statement to Congress as an argument against the government fixing the price of coal at $3.00 per ton to the consumer, then he will grossly deceive the members of Congress. The Newcastle lump, the cheapest coal mined in King County, sells for $7.50 per ton and the Black Diamond lump for $9.00 and going up almost every day. How much it costs to mine this coal, deponent doth not know, but if the representative is as far off in his cost of mining as he is in his cost of selling, then he is simply in Washington City for the express purpose of more firmly fixing a coal burden on the consumers. Organized labor is said to be in full sympathy with the operators' fight to keep prices of coal up. To be sure, it is because organized capital a few days ago raised the wages of the miners and the next day raised the price of coal to the consumers. God bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more. In other words, capital and labor get together and the consumer pays the freight. All coals have gone up $1.50 per ton and to our mind, this increase is divided he- VOL. 2, No. 8 tween the coal operator and the coal cooperator. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS France loves our Teddies and even when they are black and tan. It hardly follows that because a Bone is at the editorial head of the P.-I. that that paper is a "bone head" publication. There is a kodak krazy at our house and if the editor hereof is not charged with fratricide before soon it will be because the family goes out camping. Six o'clock closing is to be observed in Seattle through the month of August and the observation might just as well be continued for all time to come. While the summer heat is doing a lot of killing of human beings in the East, the summer-winter weather near Spokane has been freezing them to death. A Portland lawyer was kidnapped one day last week. If kidnapping lawyers is those fellows' game, they could have done excellent work in Seattle last week. In spite of President Wilson and the plutocratic press, Theodore Roosevelt is the most popular man in all America. Willing or unwilling, he will be our next president. After all, Seattle has not been greatly inconvenienced by the street car strike and it might be better for all concerned if the street car system was completely eliminated. What if the Allies should sweep forward and capture Berlin and the Teutons sweep forward and capture Russia? It would be a case of "I move to Jack's shop and Jack moves to mine." Whatever else that may be said of the late General Otis, editor and manager of the Los Angeles Times, he had his own way about his own things, organized labor to the contrary notwithstanding. And now the movements of our troops in Europe are to be kept completely from the public by the censor. In other words, we are to never know how many lose their lives in battle. The shame of it! It is fortunate for the state of Washington that Dr. Oozzallo of the University of Washington was discovered and brought out here or the whole state might have gone to the damnation bow-wows for the lack of a directing genius. If one Charles Hyram Gill arrests every one he threatens to he would have to canvass the city hall park and make a jail of it. His tongue must be tied in the middle and claps at both ends. He simply talks all over his bread trap and yet says nothing, and is Seattle's worst nuisance. From the number of conscriptors, who are wiggling out on first one pretext or another among the whites, it begins to look as if it will be impossible for the state of Washington to furnish its full quota of soldiers without taking the most of the colored conscriptors, who, so it is reported, ```markdown ``` ‘eure. ey! a ie al a ae ae a Me oa Pye ay L he fey \ Bi | q Do You Need Bills, Letter Heads, Cards, Posters : or any kind of Job Work If so let us figure with you.

CAYTON’S WEEKLY 513 Pacific Block Telephone Main 24 Residence, Beacon 1910 President Wilson has ordered the examin- ers to not enlist in the U. S. military serv- ice. No, the $3 per day soldier would need no pension and shouldn’t get any, but sickly sentiment would give it to him just the same. An ex-Union soldier once drew an enormous pension for total mental and phy- sical disability and was subsequently elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket. Of course the Negro student officers at Fort Des Moines, Iowa are ‘‘making good.’’ If these 1200 young colored men do not make good it will be the first instance where they were put to a test that they did not make good. But all of this is not eonvineing to a Democratic administration —it is simply made up of damphools. Whenever there is a clash between black and white folks the Associate Press always gives the readers thereof to understand that the blacks got all the worst of the clash and that may be a fact, but the same As- sociae Press also tells how from 100 to 10,000 whites quickly come together to dis- pose of one black. If the blacks are such cowards why is it necessary for so many whites to assemble to get rid of just one unruly black? A brave man will not ask others to help him fight his battles, but will punish his opponent if he ean or get punished in the attempt. An I. W. W. was lynched one day this week in Butte City, Montana. According to the dispatches the man, Frank Little, went out of his way to abuse everybody and everything that had the stamp of the United States on it and branded the U. S. soldiers as Uncle Sam’s scabs in uniform, to which, so goes the story, the citizens took offense and meeted out sumary punishment to him. The American people seem to be seriously troubled with the mania to mob a human being. We do not believe a per- son ean become vile enough against either the country or the citizens herein to justify a number of them in resorting to lynch law. If Little was as vile as he is reported to have been he should have been tried, con- victed and sent to prison for life and then the majesty of the law would have been upheld. Its always cowardly for a mob of men to steal up on one man and kill him without giving him a chance for his life. This civilization of ours runs in queer streaks, Ten years from today and there will be a wonderful change in the manner of handl- ing passengers in the larger cities of the country. For twelve days Seattle was with- out street car service and few, if any, per- sons suffered any great inconvenience in getting to and from their places of business and that #00, when the jitney service, which hadled the multiplied thousands, was poorly organized. In the beginning of the strike we were of the opinion that the city would make money by taking over the entire street car system, but at the close of the strike we are convinced that the city would soon have a white elephant on its hands in ease she did take it over. A jitney system will, in the near future, be perfected that will completely drive the street cars out. The city may have to impose a heavy tax SHORT FLIGGHTS (R. W. Thompson) It’s a ‘‘raw’’ swindler who will bunco his friends, “The Birth of a Nation’? has died a na- tural death. We do not like to see our friends too closely identified with our enemies. The garbage pail is becoming a super- fluity—a badge of the rich and opulent. Fakirs thrive because honest men eriti- cise instead of doing constructive work. Where there is competition there is bound to be friction. The right to work is the first of rights. It is the root of existence. Dr. James E. Shepard’s ‘‘Address to the American People’’ struck the keynote of advanced national sentiment. A woman easily forgives a man for try- ing to flirt with her—that is, if he is good- looking and gallant about it. There is no excuse for lynching. The law is ample to avenge the wrong of society. Let the law take its course. Conserve the health of the race. Physi- eal fitness is one of humanity’s biggest as- sets. Sickness is our largest liability. History will record Bishop Alexander Walters as one of the grandest figures in the battle for the uplift of the Negro race. If a naturally good fellow wishes to make enemies at a lightning-like pace, all he has to do is to serve on some kind of a com- mittee. “‘Society’’ is an institution that compels men and women to smile at one another when they feel like pulling hair or cutting a throat. Major R. R. Moton rose to the demands of the desperate situation in his ringing message to the country on the East St. Louis horror. The black man who would escape slavery, even a half-century after the civil war, must stand up straight for 100 per cent. Americanism. Jack Johnson will not be forgiven in cer- tain quarters because he is prospering in Barcelona, Spain, where there is no color line in sport or matrimony. Don’t be discouraged by poor beginnings in the battle of life. More sharply-con- tested ball games have been won in the ninth inning than in the first. Those of us who have reached or passed the half-century age mark need not be re- minded of the necessity for ‘‘speeding up,”’ if life’s goal is to be achieved. Dr. W. H. Goler, who has just retired from the headship of Livingston College, has been made president emeritus of that institution for life. A merited honor. The officers’ training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, has a Y. M. C. A. depart- ment, under the guidance of Robert De- Frantz, an experienced Christian leader. It is prospering. Eat those bread crusts—if you have good teeth. They are as nutritious as beef, so says a good dietetic authority. Don’t leave acrumb. This is a day for food conserva- tion. Old High Cost of Living isn’t battling a record against matrimony these days. There is more marrying and giving in marriage now than ever before. It simply verifies the supremacy of the ‘‘Natural Law.’’ The board of bishops and connectional council of the A. M. E. Zion Church will be held at the Walters Metropolitan Church Chicago, Ill., August 8th. At every public function some idiot can be depended upon to make an _assinine speech and some cub reporter is certain to give out a story that will stand as the one discordant note in a national chorus of ac- claim. “Democracy vs. Autocracy’’ is a slogan that suits the colored American to a ‘“T’’. Universal liberty—all men up and no man down—is a goal for which all races may strive without friction or question as to precedence. Tuskegee Institute is there with both feet. The report for the current year shows the largest measure of progress for the given period in its history. Major Moton and Emmett J. Scott are worthy successors to the ‘‘Wizard.”’ J. G. Waters, who is employed in the war department at Washington City has been made an expert freight accountant.

Black. While away she was attending a sick son, Harry. She is the mother of three sons, and all of them are shining lights in their respective fields of labor. Harry has attained much local fame in Spokane as an electrician; Byron ranks high in the U. S. naval service and Charles S. is now training at Des Moines, Iowa for a U. S. army officer. Mrs. Parker is rightfully proud of her four children. Four hundred colored persons in Seattle subscribe and pay for Cayton's Weekly, and, of course, four times that many more read it. This is rather remarkable for one year's existence and we feel like patting ourselves on the back. This however, does not give us the idea that "we occupy an exclusive field," but we have an idea that in two years more, if we continue to grow as we have, every colored family in and about Seattle will each week read Cayton's Weekly. A. Miles, who has resided in Seattle since 1900, coming here from Chicago, left the city one day this week and is now looking over some Eastern Washington towns with a view of finding a new location. He is a barber by trade and though three score and ten years, in age, yet he is as active as a man thirty years his junior. A. Miles is a man with a history and a history that in places links his life with that of the late James J. Hill. Many years ago he and Mr. Hill began their careers in Duluth at about the same time and both had phenominal success. For a number of years it was nip and tuck, which one of them would accumulate the faster, with the odds in Miles' favor. Hill however, finally outstripped Miles, but they continued fast friends. Reverses came to Mr. Miles later in life after he had accumulated a half million dollars. He took his misfortunes without a whimper and to this day what he had had never passes his lip and to talk with him you would never be the wiser, but that he had been an ordinary barber all of his life. Lets hope that something will happen that will bring rest to him in the sunset of his life that will make his last days his happiest ones. Rev. D. A. Graham will be leaving for the Puget Sound annual conference within a few weeks and a word as to his work in this city for the past twelve months would not be amiss. It was a public secret that the First A. M. E. church of this city was in a most deplorable financial condition, owing to the wrecklessness of his predecessor, when he was assigned to the post, and it took a man of much nerve to follow in the wake of such a spendthrift. In twelve months, however, he has managed to clear up the most of the scattering debts left by the other pastor and made many payments on the main debt and at the same time has taken care of the interest and taxes. It is unfortunate that men of Mr. Graham's ability have to devote so much of their ministerial time to paying off debts, as there are so many other things for them to do. Had not he been handicapped with a lot of nasty debts he could have accomplished a great deal more in the way of uniting the people of this community. Lets hope that he will be returned so that he may continue the work so well begun. Samuel H. Stone has an idea, which, if carreid out as he has it planned, will result in great good for the community. The idea can be carried out, if the colored folks of the city will forget their differences, and rally to its support. Mr. Stone has submitted his idea to a number of leading men and women of the Puget Sound country, and is waiting their decision on the subject before giving it out for publication. It can be said of Mr. Stone that no man that has ever come West has the good of the colored people more generally at heart than he, and he is anxious to pose as the big I in its execution. What he wants most of all is to see something useful done and if you can do it more successfully than he, then he is just as ready to get behind and push as he is to stand in front and say come on. Mr. Stone's "idea" is based on a racial celebration September 22nd. Mrs. D. A. Graham, wife of the pastor of the First A. M. E. church, is to be congratulated for the herculian efforts she is putting forth in helping to raise funds to pay off the indebtedness of the church. At the recent big financial rally Mrs. Graham collected over $250 of the $1,000 raised, if we have been correctly informed, which was almost unprecedented on the part of a pastor's wife in this city. She also has other devices to raise more money for the church, which she is putting into operation from week to week. The First A. M. E. church property in Seattle is the best church property controlled by colored people in the entire Northwest, yea, if not west of the Missouri river, and it is too bad that it is involved. If it were out of debt it could be of great help to the members and friends thereof in a financial way. EAST ST. LOUIS AFTERMATH (Chicago Defender) Wonderful country this, land of the free and home of the brave. Here we find civilization at its height and barbarism at its depth, and in the intermediate steps a corresponding degree of intelligence or ignorance. In no other so-called civilized country in the world can be found such a conglomorate mass of humanity. America is called the melting pot, a misnomer when it comes to a matter of thought, opinion or action. The foreigner who enters our gates and stays long enough does become Americanized to a degree, but there is an unbreakable tie that binds him to his fatherland in spite of himself. This tie, however, seldom militates against his being loyal to his adopted home. Whatever his faults, it cannot be said of him that he is color prejudiced; that he only acquires after close contact with the native-born whites. The riots in East St. Louis were staged by real Americans, the lowest type only from the point of view that they were lawless, and in their lawlessness the step to becoming murderers was but a short one. It is the boast of many southern ediotrs that the "best citizens" took part in a certain lynching bee. If that is true, what can be expected from the rabble? A mob without a leader is as a ship without a rudder. It takes brains and a certain amount of magnetism to lead people, and the weak seem more easily led into doing wrong than they are into doing right. Were it not so pathetic, the reading of the cause of the East St. Louis orgy, as given by the learned editorial writers both north and south, would be highly amusing. Politics, labor unions and prejudice figuring most prominently, with especial emphasis on the latter. From Texas we learn that "Illinois is notoriously a state of Negro politicians," that we go to the same schools as the white children, eat in the same restaurants, ride in the same railway and street cars, that we are called "Mister" and "Miss" and—horrible to think of—are made to believe we are the equal of the white man and actually marry women with white skin. This condition, according to the southern viewpoint, is the underlying cause of the trouble. A Wisconsin editor says, "The horrors at East St. Louis arouses indignant feeling on the part of all who make the smallest claim to a just attittude toward an ooppressed people. The Negroes are flocking north, seeking higher wages and better economic conditions. He is merely exercising a natural right in going as he chooses to contract his labor to earn a living. It is a terrible reflection on northern Americans that they have so illustrated their essential lack of poise in rioting against the influx of Negro workers." A note of warning comes from California, the land of sunshine and flowers: "In two or three southern states there are more blacks than whites, and in all southern states the blacks are treated as outcasts. From pillar to post they are hurried along that livelihoods naturally theirs may be taken by whites, and although the blacks have never seriously asserted themselves, they are none the less conscious of the abuse heaped upon them and inwardly resentful against the whites. Some day a leader of ability and courage, a wicked designing Negro, as capable as the late Booker Washington but more militant, will prepare and secretly arm his people for just such emergencies as the one at East St. Louis. The federal government is so stirred that an investigation is proposed with the view of determining if whether at the bottom of it all may not be found a German conspiracy." My, but we are a wonderful people to cause the "superior (?) people" of this broad land so much concern. It would seem a little more attention to their own affairs and a little less to ours would bring them better results. The main thing we ask and have been asking for is to be let alone that we may work out our own salvation. We want nothing more, nothing less than every other American citizen is entitled to. We object—and our objection should be sustained—to being lynched and shuffled off this earth in other unconventional ways. In a civilized country one expects to be treated in a civilized way. Lord Northcliffe, British commissioner, in a recent speech said, "America and Britain have the same object in view, raising of forces to uphold the ideals which underlie our common civilization. To preserve the rights of mankind, to free Belgium, France and the remains of the great Armenian people—to disarm, by their united efforts, the powers of darkness and despotism that have challenged every tradition and principle which have made us what we are." In passing let us remark, "Wise is he who keeps his own house in order." We want to be as charitable as possible with that gathering of Negroes at Yakima, who gathered there last week under the guise of a Masonic conclave. These Negroes did not represent the best thought of the state as far as the race is concerned, hence their resolutions did not represent the better thinking men of the race, when they said, "We are willing to do anything the president desires of us in this crisis." etc. NEGROES MISREPRESENTED (Tacoma Forum) The twentieth century Negro ceased resoluting several years ago, and only those who wish to bask in their own reflected glory are spending any car fare to assemble to vote for a jumble of words that sound empty and meaningless. "The Richmond Planet," edited in the South where Negroes are supposed to be servile in their manners, hit the nail squarily on the head and the article is apropos at this time. It would be really interesting to know how many of the Negroes of Tappahannock who are numerous and prosperous, "were there assembled, to renew allegiance to the country.....; it would be really interesting to find out "whar is Tappahannock any how," and why is it necessary for the Negroes of Tappahannock or anywhere else to get together and pledge their "loyalty" to the country. It is not necessary for a man who has a lamp that is lighted to continually be crying out, "here is my light," for it is only needed that the lamp keep on shining. True loyalty does not express itself in so much lip, "but by their fruits ye shall know them." This loyalty business on the part of the Negro is in danger of being over done. It is coming very near to being a profession, it is getting so that when ever a certain class of Negroes have a note in the bank that is nearly due, and do not see how it is to be paid, they get together a select few and meet in some store or shop, and "pledge" their loyalty to the country and the next --- ee eee ere er ee aE day call on the bank for an extension of time and no more is heard of the loyal Negroes till another loan is needed, or an extension required and then there is another “Be it Resolved, That we reaffirm our loy- alty to our country.’’ The truly loyal Negroes of this country are not assembling in mass meetings, and passing high sounding resolutions, and re- affirming their loyalty to the country for that loyalty has never been qupestioned, but they are studying plans, and devising means, just like the other citizens of this country, to do whatever is best to bring this great war to a triumphant close, and in such a way that he, the Negro might get some of the glory and honor thereof. The Negro is clamoring to get in the navy, the marines, on the torpedo boats, the destroy- ers, the submarines, in the artillery, and in every other branch of the service where duty may be performed. If the Negro were given the chance for which he has been begging, and which will be given him before this war ends, every regiment would be filled, every ship fully manned, and a well equipped host of fight- ing Americans, undivided in their alleg- iance would now be on the firing line, do- ing, enduring, dying, but winning, never letting Old Glory touch the ground. The kind of meeting that I desire to see the Negro hold is one in which he will not talk so much about his loyalty but pass some resolutions which shall bring home to this government the fact that it cannot win in this war with one of its hands tied now, any more than it could so subdue the brave and dauntless South more than fifty years ago. It is time that some of this humbug and hypocricy were stopped, and the truth told: the Negro is loyal but he is not satis- fied, and cannot be, so long as he is ex- pected to be content to eat crumbs while others, many of them aliens and enemies to this country, walk off with the choicest slices of the nation’s bounty. The Negro is not telling the truth when he says that ‘‘We willingly give ourselves to be used by our country in whatever ca- pacity our President shall determine.’’ Every Negro in this country is willing to give himself to the country, to be used in whatever manner the President shall de- termine to use him as a free born Ameri- ean, entitled to all the privileges as such; to this he is entitled, and if he say that he is content with less, then the truth and he has had a serious disagreement. Professor G. W. Hayes, used to say that if a man could not tell-the truth about the race’s aspirations and desires, it were bet- ter that he kept still and those Negroes who are holding these little shoe shop mass meetings, and voting for resolutions that nine-tenths of them know not the meaning of, are doing the race a great deal of harm for they lead other people to think that the Negro is satisfied with anything when in fact he is not, and will not be, till merit and not color shall be the bounds that limit his privilege, when that time comes then the following will mean everything to him: “Your flag and my flag! And Oh how much it holds— Your land and my land— Secure within its folds! Your heart and my heart Beat quicker at the sight; Red and blue and white, Sun-kissed and wind tossed— The one flag—the great flag—the flag for me and you—Glorified all else beside—the red and white and blue.’’ John W.
