In the United States the Jew receives the same civil and political consideration as any other member of the white race, but even that does not satisfy him and he is ever endeavoring to entangle the United States government with the affairs of the various European governments, in which the Jews do not get the same public consideration as other classes of their citizenry. But even for this we have no quarrel with the Jew, because, in our opinion, it's blessed for the fellow on top to remember the fellow at the bottom, but the great mass of Jews of this country are full and overflowing with selfishness. In spite of the fact that the European Jews, for the most part, are treated almost as cruel as are the colored people of the United States, yet, with but one or two notable exceptions, they have no word of protest against the treatment meeting out to the colored citizens, yea, not only have no word of protest, but in the Southern States are just as insistent on keeping the Negro down as is Marse Henry. Of course, the Jew thinks he is a white man; he wants to convince the actual white man that he is a white man and in the United States the most convincing proof that he is a white man is to help "lynch a nigger." In Seattle last Wednesday evening was held a mighty mass meeting to protest against the massacre and mistreatment of Jews in Roumania, and to its proceedings we stood across the street and in our sympathetic heart said, "Amen." We stood across the street, we repeat, advisedly, because even the Jews would have roundly protested, if we had have gone in the meeting and added our amen. At the above mass meeting there was an array of vice-presidents from among Seattle's leading and most influential white citizens, both Jew and Gentile, which showed that the public is thoroughly aroused on the subject and is ready and willing to back any move that may mean justice for the Jews. Lest ye, dear reader, be not fully impressed with the important attitude this movement assumed, the vice-presidents are herewith named: Judge Thomas Burke, Judge King Dykeman, Judge Thomas R. Lyon, Judge John S. Jurey, Judge C. S. Hall, Judge Everett Smith, Judge Otis W. Brinker, Judge George Donworth, Judge William Hickman Moore, Dr. Arthur E. Burns, Bishop E. J. O'Dea, Rev. J. G. Stafford, Rev. M. J. Bywater, Rev. Sidney H. Morgan, Rev. W. H. Bliss, Rev. H. H. Gowen, James A. Wood, Erastus Brainerd, Josiah Collins, J. W. Spangler, H. C. Henry, Daniel Kelleher, Edgar Battle, Samuel H. Piles, Albert J. Rhodes, Frederic Struve, Charles A. Reynolds, Harry W. Carroll, E. B. Burwell, Claude C. Ramsay, J. B. Howe, Major George R. Drever, Louis Friedlander, J. M. Jackson, Eben S. Osborne, Marc Lees, George Simmons, A. Rosenthal, Samuel I. Schwabacher, Elkan Morganstern, G. C. Corbaley, M. Goodglick, Julius Shafer, Edmund Bowden, Loren Grinstead, A. Shamenski, R. J. Reekie, W. A. Gaines, Arthur G. Cohen, Lawrence Booth, J. P. Gleason, Otto S. Graunbaum, Louis Nash, George H. Walker, J. Metzger, Dr. F. M. Carroll, John E. Drummey, J. T. Hardeman, Charles Osner, Henry A. Munroe, Louis Rubenstein, Robert B. Hesketh, M. Monheimer, Laurence J. Colman, Leopold M. Stern, A. W. Leonard, Reuben W. Jones, Frank W. Hull, J. J. Sullivan, J. Berkman, Herbert A. Schoenfeld, James A. Kerr, Carl Reiter, D. Lipman, M. Nieder, John E. Carroll, Monte Carter, Dr. J. B. Eagleson, Harold Preston, E. Rosenberg, Samuel Ostrow and Abe Hurwitz. And the chief speakers of the occasion were Governor Louis F. Hart, Judge Jeremiah Neterer. Mayor Ole Hanson, Judge Stephen N. Chadwick, Bishop Keater, Rev. W. A. Major, D.D., Rabi Samuel Koch and Rabbi Simon Glazer. Note if you will the character quality and quantity of the men interested in this Jewish question and you will conclude with us that results are bound to follow. With men of such local and national importance as are many of the men in the list above thoroughly aroused on this or any other subject, there will always be things doing. Recently James Weldon Johnson lectured in Seattle in the main on the wholesale lynching of colored folks in the South, and despite the fact the meeting was widely advertised in the daily papers and personal appeals were made to many of the citizens on the above list of vice presidents, as well as to others of like importance, yet not one was present to listen to Johnson, and if in any way any of them were interested they kept it to themselves, which reminds us of the fellow who could see the mote in his brother's eye but could not see the beam in his own eye. In other words, Europe's treatment of the Jew is inhuman and unChristianlike, but the United States' treatment of the Negro is our own affair and it pleases us well to treat him as we damn please." Now, do not understand us to lay such a charge as stated above at the doors of the vice-presidents of the above meeting, for many of them have personally expressed themselves to the writer as bitterly opposed to the treatment accorded the colored man in this country, but when it comes to publicly expressing themselves on the subject they are as silent as the dead. Recently a high school boy (white) read in Cayton's Weekly an article taken from the May number of the Crisis depicting the lynching of two young colored girls yet in their 'teens and two boys, but a few months out of their 'teens, and by the time he had finished reading the article the big tears stood in his eyes and he said, "If the P-L VOL. IV. NO. 3 and Times would publish that article and the other dailies of the country do likewise, an army of occupation from the North would soon be quartered in the South." Bless his young and sympathetic heart, what a pity that spirit of human justice could not remain with him, but for business reasons he will be taught that the least he has to say about such atrocities and against the colored folks the more money he will make, and in all human probability he will agree. However, our sympathies are in full accord with the recent mass meeting and we hope similar mass meetings will be held all over the United States and we further hope that the protest will be made so strong that the European governments will set up and take notice, and he whole will result in the Jew, the world over, being accorded the same treatment as any other class of citizens. Kicking a person because he is designated by his fellow man a Jew, a Negro, an Oriental or any other name is not Christianlike and is inhuman. It does not necessarily follow that you must receive all manner of men into your social sanctums because you advocate a square deal for all manner of man and who looks with scorn upon his neighbor because his neighbor believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, is an enemy to the twentieth century civilization and a barbarian at heart. GOVERNOR LISTER DEAD Once again the young state of Washington is called upon to mourn the death of a chief executive in the recent demise of Ernest Lister. Eliminating his politics he was an ideal citizen and he gave his life in his endeavor to give to the country an ideal commonwealth—the State of Washington. Had Ernest Lister been less conscientious, months and even years might have been added to his life and at that the public would have appreciated him just as much. In politics he was a Democrat and he was intensely partisan in his appointments, but at that his appointmentees, for the most part, were conservative Democrats, in whose bosoms there ever burned the fires of intense patriotism, and who would a thousand times over prefer right rather than party to prevail. In spite of overwhelming Republican majorities he was twice elected chief executive of the state and had he lived and maintained his health he would have held a strong hand in the senatorial race next year. He was laid to rest last Tuesday surrounded by the leading men of the state and accorded the military honors of a chief executive in times of war. WILL HE DO IT? Will Governor Louis F. Hart attempt to build up a political machine between now and the election next year is the all absorbing question in political circles just now. To not do so would mean that he would have to take his chances of being nominated in the primary election with the other candidates, but to do so would make of him the most formidable candidate to succeed himself. Should he work on the old political theory "to the victor belong the spoils," there would be not less than 5,000 men and women turned out of office and equally as many Hart boosters put into office. Such unexpected changes as this brings us face to face as to the advisability of putting all clerks under civil service. A sweeping Ae f Tot tk eet ee SY eer eS a Mista! gl | si tks 3 Co mI ye i iN, reals : t ays) err Gy, beeee a TA Oe er aE ie es et change at this time would mean a loss of at least six months, which would run into multiplied thousands of dollars before the new clerks would do the work with any decree of sticeess and it does not seem hardly fair to the taxpayers to thus impose upon them and yet it has been the custom of letting Republicans out and putting Democrats in and there will be much pres- sure brought to bear on Governor Tart to follow the custom. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Jim lam Jems is rearoduced in full and the space it takes is not begrudged., . No pub- lisher in the United States in the past has said harder things about the Negro than the publisher of the above iconoclastic periodical, but a great change has come over him, and he reverses himself and de- Inands fair play for a greatly wronged people. Giving the other fellow a square deal will hut no one and the white man of this country is sowing to the winds, which may result in reaping a whirlwind, in not viving the black man an absolute square deal. Writing books on the late war may be a pleasing diversion even if they are not money getters, and so let ‘um come. Making much over the five high school graduates of Seattle seems rather general this vear and it is hoped that the courtesies shown them will be incentives to others in line for final honors to press onward and upward, It’s up to Germany as to which road she will travel in the future, the one leading to Peace or the one to War. Tf she elects to travel the altter the Allies feel that it will require but a word and a blow to convince her that it is the road to Peace that she is hound to travel. “The new skirts are tight. but the women cant kick.’ says an exchange. Are they so tight that they can’t even pull them up high enough to permit them to kick the nose olf of your face, Not if the court knows it- self and it thinks it does. Neither Democrats or Republicans were satisfied with the political appointments made by the late Governor Lister and yet Washington never had a chief executive that had higher ideals of statecraft than had Ernest Lister. Fees for filing court documents in tie county clerk’s office have advaneed a dollar each, which probably means that Grant is in the fight to sueceed Thomas with blood in his eyes and ‘iron boys’? in his hand. Organized labor in part may be favorably inclined to the propaganda of the League of Nations, but President Wilson will not have as smooth sailing even in the West as he has been led to believe. The world having been made safe for deomeracy, Unele Sam no longer needs or desires colored troops for patrol duty on the Rhine. Onee again it becomes a ‘white man’s war’? Unele Sam had causes to chastise Villa one day the past week. just as he has done on other oceasions, but Vila bobs up serenely whenever he wants to “start some- thinge’’ just the same. Criticizing an audience to whom you are supposed to speak words of consolation may be another way of getting even, but the audience always has the last say. “A House’? is wanted by nearly half of the population of Seattle, not for any crime it has committed, but to simply make it comfortable and pleasant for them. There is a marked difference between twin-six and six twins—the former means lots of fun while the latter mean lots of fuss and fume. Tt took a revolution in Russia to put an American Negro in the Bolshevist cabinet and now that government is tottering to its fall. Did you ever see such luck? “Labor Laughs at Ole Hanson,’ says a Unoin Record headline, but it didn’t laugh at Ole Hanson when he headed off the sym- pathetie strike. There seems to be no doubt now but that Turkey-in-Europe will be literally Turkey in Europe as soon as the peace pact ‘goes into effect. General Grand Jury seems to have his fighting clothes on this time, which has caused Colonel Criminal to cut for tall timber, Whether a safe and sane Fourth of July he observed in Seattle this year will depend solely on the heft of the pocket books about that time. P However heartless Olympia may have been in days gone by she now has a Hart that goes out to every county of the state. Bootlegging is so profitable in Portland, Oregon, that the boys are just rolling in luxury, but it’s a long lane that has no turn. PROHIBITION A MINORITY LAW To the Editor: The action of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor proves the un- popularity of prohibition and foreshadows an eventual repeal of the law. No drastic law against liberty in the home can ever be enforced in America or any other country without great expense and much publie¢ dis- satisfaction, Democracy is a good thing in its way, but when a minority controls a majority as it does in prohibition it becomes autoeracy and a menace to law and order. It is like Mr. Wilson, the greatest autocrat of all time. shouting to make the world free for demoe- racy. Mr. Wilson did not know where his slogan would lead him and neither do the Prohibitionists. Both are trying experi- ments. The ratification of the constitutional amendment pertaining to the manufacture and sale of aleoholie drinks is undemocratic because the population of the states is un- eonal, The desires of a small majority in a thinly propulated state like Washington con- trol the wishes and comfort of a great state like New York. Nothing need be said about the operation of the licensed saloon, That issue is dead as it deserves to be. When it comes to a ban on manufacture and sale and control of the people’s dinner table the operation of the law is so drastie it will inevitably defeat itself. All nations have used liquor from time immemorial. The appetite is hereditary and no law can be enforced that interferes with the habits of the people in their homes. The scandal at the court house should be proof sufficient. No grand jury ean con- trol the illicit sale of liquor: it can commit for trial of offenses, but the matter does not end there. We may stir up a stench in the community and create another bill of ex- pense for the already overburdened tax- payer. Let us drop an impossible situation and allow prohibition to die the natural death that sooner or later assuredly awaits it. GLOBE TROTTER. If Globe-Trotter in the P.-L. would study statistics more and globe trot less he would discover that, in the prohibition law the minority is not ruling the majority, but the exact reverse is true. For years the whisky minority suceeeded in domineering the politics of almost every state and county in this union of states. Vast sums of money were spent by this political viper in controlling the editorial influence of the metropolitan dailies and likewise the leading weeklies of the country and so potent was this influence that the majority never had a chance. Billions of dollars were expended in corrupt- ing the various legislatures of the country and even Congress and it was like unto putting the camel through the eye of the proverbial cambrie needle to have any anti-liquor laws passed. Even the courts felt the subtle influence of King Booze and its decisions were frequently warped to meet the exigencies of the whisky operators. In this state as in most of the states a great majority of the voters were opposed to the open saloon, but hey never had a chance against the Whisky Bags who pulled the strings. If a majority of the voters wish open saloon the minority will submit, but if a majority wish prohibition then let the booze advocates take their medicine without murmur or complaint. THE HEALTH OF COLORED TROOPS Fhe Negro 1s constitutionally a ‘‘better physiological machine’? than the white man. This is the conclusion drawn by experts from the military examinations and experiences of the past few years as reported by the edi- tor of the *‘Current Comment’? page in The Journal of the American Medical Association (Chicago, May 17). Students of eugenics, he says, point out that certain races have un- consciously varied in their choices of part- ners in such a way as to bring about differ- ing conditions, with respect to resistance to disease, to mental capacity, and to moral quality. Of these, the resistance to disease is susceptible of most accurate estimation be- cause it can be considered on the basis of statistical information. Te goes on: “A peculiarly valuable instance is afforded by the comparison of white men and Ne- groes in the United States Army. The num- hers are sufficiently large to give some sem- blance of validity to the deductions which they permit. The white and colored troop» live under equally good sanitary conditions and are examined with equal diagnostic skill. A study of the sort indicated has recently been reported by Lieutenant-Colonel Love and Major Davenport, who have undertaken an analysis of more than half a million ad- missions to sick report in our Army, includ- ing more than 15,000 for the colored troops. For many maladies the morbidity-rate is the sume in the two races. The army officers have, however, ascertained from the statis- tics that the colored troops are relatively less resistant to diseases of the lungs and pleura as well as to certain general diseases, like tuberculosis and smallpox; they are also much more frequently infected with venereal diseases and suffer wide-spread compliea- tions of these diseases. Love and Davenport point out, on the other hand, that in general the skin not only on the surface of the body, hut also that which is infolded to form the lining of the mouth and nasopharynx, is much more resistant to microorganisms in Negroes than in white men. The white skin seems to be relatively a degenerate skin in this respect. Furthermore, the nervous SYs- tems of the uninfected Negroes show fewer SANDERS & COMPANY LOANS NEGOTIATED 1003-1004 L. C.

Now pause right here and put yourself in their places. Only barely fifty years re- moved from the blight of slavery at home; freed in name, but in fact always the vietims of a venomous race hatred at home; enrolled as American soldiers to fight for freedom overseas, With their white brethren in arms from the same land constantly jeering and disparaging and insulting them; forced to rebut and repel German propaganda so true that it burned like fire: compelled to main- tain their courage and their morale and their bravery against foes within and against enticing propaganda without—we say that these American colored troops wrote high their names on the seroll of fame! We say that from Crispus Attucks, the first vietim of freedom in the Revolu- tionary War, to the last dusky hero who laid down his life in battle charge in France, ail down the line of American history, the American Negroes have proven with their hearts’ blood, their courage, their valor, their patriotism and their love for a land— which has ill requited their devotion. Now observe further. Look right down into the black vecord—blacker than the duskiest skin. Truth harms none but the guilty. In the thirty years last past up- wards of three thousand American Negroes vitizens of this land—have been brutally mutilated, tortured, butchered, unsexed, bined and lynched. Only reeently a Negro woman was disemboweled and her unborn babe torn from her quivering flesh Almost within sight of the White House, at Alexandria. Virginia, a Negro was most brutally Iynehed. At Springfield, Tllinois, where vest the ashes of Abraham Lincoln, and almost within sight of his tomb, a Negro was burned. Last year at East St. Louis, Hlinois, over forty Negroes were bar- barously slaughtered. And, in addition, in the past year thirty-one Negro men and one Negro woman were barbarically lynched. Nevroes have been burned at the stake even in John Brown's old State of Kansas. And mark this: In just two places in this world has the smoke from living human. torches ascended heavenwards—at Rome under Nero and in the United States of America under the Star Spangled Banner! Look further. The United States—with the aid of the American Negro, too—pro- tested with all its might, with all its bil- lions, with millions of its men, on sea, on land and in the air, against the awful atrocities, mutilations, defilements, buteher- ies and outrages perpetrated overseas. America’s strong arms—upheld by Amer- ivan Negroes, too— spanned the seas and throttled to its death harbarie atricities abroad. Arent burnings at the stake. mutilations, tortures, unsexment, hangings, disembowel- ments, erucifixions and human tortures just as atrocious in America as they are over- seas? Why visit barbarities with fire and sword overseas and tolerate them in our own land? America idealizes. enshrines and worships justice—justice to all abroad and at home. Is her arm long enough to span an ocean but too short to throttle her own satvrs of bestiality? Most American Negroes are poor: but who stole their toil for generations and still pays them but a pittance? Many American Negroes are ignorant; but who kept them so for generations and still doles out educa- tion with niggardly hands? Many Amer- ican Negroes are lustful: but are they the only ones, and if so. whence come all the millions of mulattos? , There are ten million American Negroes in this Inad—their ancestors brought here eidnanind: FA wuintekes be Aken a Phone 2647 1034 Jackson Tailors and Cleaners.

Blood gushing from dusky skins has hallowed every American battle ground and ought not that blood—ever freely shed for this land—to be protected in this land? Should we cleanse Europe’s pits of infamy with the aid of the American Negro and leave in our own land as deep pits for dusky feet to press? : Ought the American Negroes, having battled—against fearful odds within and without their ranks—heroically abroad for freedom, to return home to battle against a resurrected Klu Klux Klan?
