HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON..Editor and Publisher Entred as second class matter, August 18, 1916, at the post office at Seattle, Wash., under the Act of March 3rd, 1916. TELEPHONE: BEACON 1910 Office 303 22nd Ave. South EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Life is full and overflowing with human contradictions as may be seen in those whom you love best loving you less. "Who is a quitter" seemed to hit the bull's eye, when propounded, but "how I wish I had never asked the question." If President Wilson would but add another hour to his daylight-saving he might save the day for his European peace pact. That Villia is a bad actor is plain to be seen, but as bad as he is the southern white man has him skinned forty ways for lection. Rubbing it in on the rent hog seems to have little or no effect on his conscience as he goes on collecting high rent just the same. If there be any labor organization about Seattle that has not struck it must be because the walking delegate is still on his vacation. If President Wilson donned his fighting clothes when he was leaving Washington City he showed his good sense for once—because he never needed them worse. One would hardly think that two as vulgar roughnecks could come from the same state as are Vardeman and John Sharp Williams and yet they did. If reports be true the whiskey stored at the police headquarters were destroyed long before the chief ordered it dstroyed, but the boys did the next thing to it—destroyed the bottles. In future to keep the niggers down in this country is gonig to be tended with more or less trouble and anxiety of heart, which may be seen from the recent riots in Washington City, Chicago and Knoxville. It is reported that the car load of watermellons sent to the colored sailors, failed to run the gauntlet of white sailors and after all the colored men did not enjoy the luscious fruit. It's the old, old story, the colored man bears the blame and the white man gets the game. From the crowds Hyram Johnson is drawing in the Middle West it begins to look as if the people are so sure that he will be the next president of the United States that they have already begun to honor him as such. Never before in the history of the country did a U. S. senator draw larger crowds than did the president, but just think, who is president. Rumor has it that every shipyard in and about Seattle wil permanently close before the first day of next April, which is causing some slight agitation in real estate circles. Confound it, Seattle grew and prospered before those ship yards were ever dreamed of and she can and will do it again and we therefore see nothing to get red in the face about. In view of the fact Seattle has had so much fun for the few days with the sailor boys and listen with such keen interest to the shrieking dogs of war in her harbor she came very near overlooking the carpenters, the printers and the gas works strike and we therefore move you that all of them be declared off and the strikers sneak back to work and say nothing more about the darn mess. Two Mexicans were lynched over in Colorado last Saturday, which may mean Uncle Sam has adopted this more or less gruesome method of bringing about a war of conquest between himself and Caraanza. Mexico all alone would not put up much of a scrap against the United States, but dollars to doughnuts, if the two would get into a mixup the Japanese government would come to Mexico's rescue and thereby give this country the tussle of its life. Under no circumstances should the minority rule in this country and thats exactly our kick against Woodrow Wilson, for in him the minority in this country is ruling an overwehlming majority. One vote in the South is equal to 100 votes in the North and had Wilson not have gotten the Solid South he would have had no more show of being president than the proverbial snow ball has of flying through hades. Christian men make better fighters, so said Secretary Daniels to the Methodist preachers in conference. If the above be true it must be because they fight more wreckless, owing to the fact they have made their peace with the Master and have their passports in their pockets for heaven and immortal glory, in case the other fellow does him while he is endeavoring to do the other fellow. Thanks to the presence of the fleet for the magnificent greeting given to President Wilson. His press agents gave Seattle the praise for the most elaborate welcome received by the president on his present detour of the country. Of course the crowd and the decorations that greeted the president in Seattle were all intended for him and the presence of the fleet at the time was only an incident in the triumphal march of Woodrow Wilson into Seattle, the Queen City of the Northwest. What fools we mortals be." The motion to dismiss the gubernatorial aspirations of Louis F. Hart, which was made by the Methodist brethren at the Spokane conference, was denied by Gov Hart and now the case will go to the jury on its merits for a verdict of guilt or innocence. The gubernatorial fight will continue between Hartley, Hart, Savage, Lamping, Coman and the field. As said some time ago the candidate receiving twenty-five per cent of the vote cast will doubtless be the nominee. Sending delegates to a Chicago conference on the part of the colored citizens to assist in adjusting the troubles in this country between the white and colored folks, is more or les far fetched. "Let down your buckets where you are," if you would permanently adjust all misunderstandings between the whites and the blacks of this country. In other words let the colored man here and everywhere act well his part and much of the friction es- OLYMPIA, WASH. eekly EMBER 20, 1919 VOL. IV., NO. 14 pecially in the North will be overcome. It is preposterous to think a conference in Chicago can resolute friendly relations between the whites and blacks in Seattle or anywhere else. The coming of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the second, to Seattle, so soon after the visit of President Wilson, may mean that Teddy is preparing to give Woodrow a run for the presidency next year. It's almost a foregone conclusion that Wilson will be the next Democratic presidential nominee and there is a strong pro-Roosevelt sentiment for the Republican presidential nomination, which, in case of Roosevelt success would mean a fight between him, who kept us out of war, and him who got us out of war. Practically every other distinct class of voters was represented on the reception committee for President Woodrow Wilson in Seattle except the colored voters, but that was one instance where the colored voters did not holler for recognition. We sat in our fifth story office window and saw the President as he passed, which was plenty, more as plenty, more as we could want, so far as President Woodrow Wilson was concerned. We had nor have no desire to fraternize with the president of our country. Had Hulet M. Wells resigned himself to his fate and played the game bang up he would not have had the trouble that he is reported as having. There is no doubt in our mind, but that once he became refractory the prison officials made much of the opportunity and punished Wells as they would like to have done even before he was candidate for an inmate in that prison. Like most men in authority, they are more brute than human and Wells should have realized that when the strong arm of the law sent him thither and that too in spite of the fact whether he was guilty or innocent. Down in Los Angeles Secretary Daniels assured the citizens thereof that that city is the home of the Pacific fleet and in Seattle he publicly announced that Seattle is the home of the fleet. Over in Tacoma he assured the citizens thereof that Tacoma is as much the home of the fleet as Seattle. In Portland he assured her citizenry that as soon as the sand bar at the mouth of the Columbia river was dredged out that Portland would be the home of the fleet. If the Pacific Coast states do not give their next electoral vote to Woodrow it will be no fault of Daniels. Whoever is Charles D. Davis, chairman of the enlisted men's entertainment, during the stay of the fleet in Seattle, he is either a jackass or a mossback, in thinking nothing so pleasing to the colored sailors as a car load of watermellons. Having segregated the sailors, this entertainer's misfit thus added insult to injury so far as the colored men were concerned. The keys of the city were turned over to the white sailor boys, but a car load of watermellons were the only source of entertainment, so far as the colored sailor boy was concerned. Its just such damphools as this Charley Davis that makes of the colored man the jest of all public assemblages. ```markdown ``` THE INDIAN AND THE NEGRO The following address was delivered before the Borrowed Time Club of Seattle on September the 11th by H. R. Cayton: Whether the Indian or the Negro of this country has been the recipient of a greater number of abuses at the hands of an intolerant white citizenry is a problem, so difficult of answer, as to require the brain of the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer, of whom the most of us, from time to time have heard, to unravel the tangled web. Suffice it, however, both of them have received an undue amount of abuses from a Christian people of culture and refinement, the cornerstone of whose government is, in God We Trust. Both the Indian and the Negro have not only been greatly imposed upon, but, actually killed, in large numbers, and death is but death and that too however circuitous the route thereto may be. While defending his castle, his home and his relations, the Indian has been shot to death in such overwhelming numbers that he has been practically exterminated, though not so many Neyroes have been killed by the nifuriated whites as Indians, yet what they lacked in death numbers, in comparison to the Indian, is doubly made up in barbaric brutality at the hands of the white man, much of which is too shocking and revolting to relate to Christian men and women. In the light of the past and amid the burning human fumes of the present the question arises, What would have transpired, especially to the Negro, if the corner stone of, "this land of the free and home of the brave", had not been lain on so sacred a creed as has been quoted above? For a stronger class to trust in God for still greater strength in order to the more completely humiliate a weaker class, living among the stronger for no greater reason than that, that weaker class differs from them in complexion, would seem to completely neutralize the teachings of that Book of Books, which says, "of one flesh and one blood all men are created." So cruel has been the abuse of the Negro that it has not only warped his mind, but as you may observe, has completely changed his color. Unlike the Indian, who confronted the forward march of General Civilization and refused to accept its doctrines and died in opposition thereto, the Negro was an unwilling visitor to this land of freedom and sunshine, where, "all men are born equal with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of hapiness," and he is therefore deserving of even more Christian consideration, if such be possible, at the hands of the dominant class, than the wild Indians of the forests and plains. In shipload lots was he stolen from his native heaths and brought to America until the number of black slaves formed a dangerous proportion to the white citizenry. Let us grant, for the sake of argument, that it was a blessing in disguise to bring the heathen blacks to America for the purpose of civilizing them, but any blessing that might have lurked about those naussiating slave pits and subsequent farm huts, in which those people were miserably quartered, faded away like snow in June, when brutality for the slave became the watchword of the slaveholder. But paradoxical as it may seem, the slaves did their work uncomplainingly and resigned themselves to their fate in a Christian white man's country. Doubtless some rather remote blessings did come to the imported slave from having come in contact with the white man's civilization and had, even after his emancipation, humane treatment been accorded him, the same would have been apparent, but, not so, he has been insulted, humiliated and classed more a beast of burden than a human being, because he had been a slave; and Ku-Kluxed, bulldoozed and shot on sight because he endeavored to better his condition by acting like white folks. What think you of the great Metropolitan press of this country, which absolutely refuses to devote space to any Negro, however meritorious his achievements may be, except he be a criminal or an alleged criminal one? Is it not but natural that the minds of real and actual Christian white men and women be poisoned against the black men and women, when the daily press all over this country magnifies his criminal acts, but minimizes his meritorious ones? In your own city papers you have not read of the multiplied thousands of dollars that have been recently put into real estate by your colored citizens, but you have often read therein much about the big black bootlegger, the black burly brute that insulted a white woman or the Negroes imported to take white men's jobs, all of which, whether true or false, when constnatly appearing in the papers, create antipathy, hatred and bitter opposition to the Negro, and, to the Negro, mind you, is said advisedly, as the designation includes the innocent, the peaceful, the law-abiding, the property owner, and even the Christian—one and the same—the old, old story. "All coons look alike to me!" Do you realize how very untenable is such a doctrine? But while the country is a seething, surging mass of opposition against the Negro in general on account of the criminal acts of a few, millions of them are performing their daily duties among you, apparently not disturbed as to what you think of or about them either singly or collectively. Again, unlike the Indian, he is not fading away and dying from having come in contact with civilization, but he is prospering in spite of civilization's protests. You, perhaps, are not aware of the fact that since the issuing of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation four thousand colored men, women and children have been lynched by the white citizens of this country, none of whom was given the remotest semblance of a court trial. In addition to the number of lynched colored human beings multiplied hundreds have been shot down for daring to dispute a white man's word or for other infractions of the regulations of the South, so far as the colored man is concerned, and, be it remembered, there is no record of such white murderers ever having been punished therefor. As intimated earlier in this discourse, many of the punishments meeted out to the accused colored criminals are too horrible in detail to tell to a Christian audience, but that you may fully understand just how barbarous has been some of the punishments inflicted upon accused colored criminals a few instances will be briefly related. While the world was running riot over the shooting of Miss Edith Cavil by the German Huns a mob of Christian white men down in Georgia took a colored woman, who was eight months in pregnancy, and hung her up by her heels, disembowled her, and when the unborn featus fell to the ground, it was stamped into mince meat by the howling mob. The crime, for which this woman met this horrible death, was for protesting against the lynching of her husband, and he was lynched because "the right niggah could not be found." Subsequently, a son of this unfortunate mother and father fought to make the world safe for democracy. For shooting a white man, who while he held a gun in one hand, horsewhipped his man with the other, a Tennessee colored man was chained to an iron post and Christian white men gathered about him and poked red hot irons into his eyes, his mouth and other sensitive points of his body and while he yet breathed they saturated his body with kerosene and set it on fire. A young white man, who only loafed on his father's Mississippi plantation, forced an eighteen-year-old colored girl to submit to his brutal passions, and not yet satisfied, he accomplished the ruin of her sixteen-year-old sister. Both were to soon become mothers, but in spite of this two young colored men were willing to marry them, but they were warned to keep hands off. They, however, refused to do so, and a fight followed, in which the white man was killed. For this the two men and the girls were lynched to a bridge and while one woman was strangling to death her baby was born and dropped into the icy waters below, from which it was never recovered. Because a colored man was found cohabitnig with a white woman in Vicksburg, Mississippi, he was bound hard and fast and then a hole was dug in the ground deep enough to bubry him, in a standing position, but leaving his head above the ground, and then the hole was filled by packing the dirt about his body. A vicious bull dog that had been made mad with red pepper, after an iron cage had been placed over the man, was thrown under the cage—and—oh well, you can imagine the rest. Numerous other instances of like attrocities could here be enumerated, but it would serve no good purpose to recount more of them. However, before leaving this phase of this discourse we will read briefly from a magazine, the editor of which has been most decidedly opposed to the equal rights of the Negro in times past. Hear him: GEORGIA'S SHAME "There lies before us as we write a sworn statement which follows. To give our informant's name would be equivalent to signing his death warrant but there is not the slightest doubt about the abhorrent facts. "‘I wish to inform you of an outrageous lynching which occurred at Milan, Georgia, May 24, 1919, Telfair County, John Williams, sheriff. On May 24th, at 1 o'clock at night, John Dandy and Lewis Efans, white, went down into the colored people's section of the town and went to the home of a widow by the name of Emma McCollers, who had two daughters. They knocked, but the occupants refused to open the door, and Dandy shot through the door. The ball went through the organ and the sewing machine. That frightened the girls and they ran out to another old lady's home. Her name was Emma Tisber, and is a widow with two little children. The white men went after these colored girls; the girls ran under the porch and hid. These white men broke down the door and tore up the floor. The old widow got frightened, ran and jumped in the well, and the children screamed for help. "Berry Washington, colored, seventy-two years old, ran out with his shotgun in his hand. When he got near the hall he met both of the white men. John Dandy, twenty-five years old, with a wife and two children, asked the old man what he came for. He said: "To see what was the matter with the women and children;" then John Dandy fired at him and said: "I will kill you, old man." The old man fired and killed him (John Dandy) first. He fell with his pistol in his right hand and a cigarette in the other, and a flask of liquor fell out of his pocket. The other white man ran (Lewis Evans). "Another colored man came out and advised Washington to go uptown and wake the chief of police and give himself up. The policeman's name is Stuckey. He sent Washington to McCrae jail at 2 o'clock on the night of the 24th. He stayed in jail until Saturday night the 25th at 12 o'clock. A mob of seventy-five or one hundred brough him back to Milan. They carried him to the same spot where he shot Dandy and lynched him. He was hanged to a post, his body shot into pieces and left hanging there until 2 o'clock Sunday morning, May 26th. "He was lynched because he protected his own women, in his part of the town. White boys came down there late hours of the night and disturbed the peace and happiness of the colored and white people. They ordered every colored person to leave town Saturday night. Poor old men, women, and children left their homes before dark. Not a colored person spent the night in his home Saturday or Sunday night. Up to May 27th, this had not been published in any of the Georgia papers, it was so disgraceful. Please publish that a white Baptist minister directed the mob. "Yours for justice and the race.' "Absorb the facts. Two young hoodlums—doubtless sizzling with liquor and lust—attack in the dead of night a home occupied by a colored widow and her two daughters. The daughters—as much entitled to protection of their virtue as yours—flee to another home for protection. The lustful beasts pursue them, break down the door and tear up the very floor of the house in their bestial rage at being balked while the two colored girls cower like hunted folk of the forest under the porch. An old colored man, black of skin but white of heart, rushes to their rescue—as would any man with a drop of manhood's blood in his veins. The colored man, as he ought after being fired upon threatened with death, killed one of the lustful brutes who died with his pistol in one hand, his cigarette in the other and his whiskey flask fallen from his pocket. "The usual Georgia sequel followed. Virtue's protector gave himself up to the sheriff, was placed in jail, was torn from jail and lynched and his poor body riddled with bullets. "Georgia newspapers carefully refrained from publishing the facts under the gauzy guise—as old and as threadbare as Georgia lynchings—that the facts were concealed in order to bring the perpetrators to justice. Bunk! Pure Bunk! In all the hundreds of Georgia lynchings have any of the lynchers ever been brought to justice? You know they haven't. Do you suppose that the 'white Baptist minister' directing this gang of thugs will ever feel justice's scorpion lash? You know he won't." "We are no especial champions of the colored race—nor of any other race—but we do believe in law as against thuggery and we do believe in the protection of womanly virtue regardless of the color of the skin which covers it! We do believe that the blood of that poor old colored man—butchered while protecting women's virtue—calls aloud for vengeance. The leaders of that band of thugs are doubbtless as well known to the legal authorities of Milan, Georgia, as are their own faces. The outrage was perpetrated in May and this is September with the perpetrators untroubled of the law while smeared all over with guilt—and notoriously well known. "As to this revolting event—and hundreds like it in recent years—we can not hold our peace. The colored race in this land did not voluntarily come and jump into America's mammoth 'melting pot'—as have over thirty-two millions of immigrants seeking to better their condition. The colored race was originally kidnapped and forcibly thrust into the 'melting pot' of this land. It were better—far, far better for all concerned—had Americans done their own work with their own hands rather than rifled Africa for unpaid toil. But the die has been cast and Americans cast it and Americans must meet the results like men, not like old world thugs! "These revolting lynchings and barbarities and bestialities, perpetrated almost entirely by Southerners—who are tediously and forever pinning medals upon themselves for their much touted 'chivalry'—have grown into a fetid ulcer eating into American civilization. "What's the matter with 'mopping up' some of the putridities in our own land if we are all through purifying foreign lands? What's the matter with injecting a little law and order and justice into this land iffw are all through chiseling or chains of oppression in other lands? What's the matter with protecting virtue in America—even if it be beneath a dusky skin—if we are all through protectnig it overseas? If we can shoot thirty billions—thirty thousand millions—of dollars worth of disinfectants into the suppurating pustules of moral putridities overseas can't we spare a little for moral cleanliness in our own U. S. A.? Think it over." Whenever the Negro protests against lynching nearly all southern newspapers and a great many northern newspapers call upon him to deprecate the crime which leads to lynching. The authentic statistics of lynching prove the falsehood on which this propaganda is based. In the twenty years down to 1903 there were 1,985 Negroes lynched in the Southern states. Of that number rape was assigned as the cause in only 675 cases. In 1,310 cases other causes were assigned. In the past thirty years fifty Negro women have been lynched. In the past twelve months five Negro women have been lynched. In the five year period, 1914-1919, 264 Negroes were lynched in the United States, exclusive of those killed at East St. Louis, and of this number rape was assigned as the cause in only 28 cases. Contrast these records, bad as they may appear, with the records for New York county, which is only a part of New York city, and we find that in this one county, in the single year of 1917, 230 persons were indicted for rape by the grand jury. Of this number 37 were indicted for rape in the first degree. That is, in just a part of New York city, the number of persons indicted for rape in the first degree was nine more than the total number of Negroes lynched on the charge of rpae in the entire United States during the period 1914-1918. Among these 37 persons indicted by the New York county grand jury there was not a single Negro. The evidence required by the grand jury of New York county to indict a person charged with rape must be more conclusive than the evidence required by a mob to lynch a Negro accused of rape. According to the date of Major Pullman, chief of police of Washington, there took place in the District of Columbia, between June 25, 1919, and the outbreak of the riot, one case of rape and three cases of attempted rape. The first case of attempt was on a colored school teacher. In three of these cases the suspect was one man, and he was in jail when the riots broke out. No publicity was given to the fact that five weeks before the riots two white men, a motorman and a conductor on a street car, attempted rape upon two colored girls, who were the only passengers in the car when it reached the end of the line. These two men are now under heavy bail. When the congressional committee on immigration in 1911 made its study of crime in the United States an investigation was made of 2,262 cases in the New York Court of General Sessions, and in that investigation it was found that the percentage for the crime of rape was lower for the Negro than for either the foreign born or native born whites. The actual figures were, for foreign-born whites, 1.8; for native-born whites, .8, and for Negroes, .5. But lest you be misled by evil propaganda against the Negro as a crime committer, listen to a report from John R. Shillady, himself a white man, but who is secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: Would you then under such circumstances blame the black man of the United States, if he refused to fight for the flag? But not so. He has never sulked in his tent in times of war. The first to fall in the Revolutionary War was Crispus Attucks, a colored man. A colored man was in the thickest of the battle under Commodore Perry in the battle on the Great Lakes. The bravest batallion in the battle of New Orleans, so says General Jackson, was made up of colored men. In all the Indian wars the colored troops lead all the rest, so say the army records. A quarter of a million black men fought nobly for the flag in the great Civil War, says history. Theodore Roosevelt tells how the colored troopers lead the fight up San Juan Hill, which resulted in the complete routing of the Spanish forces. On the Mexican border the colored troops distinguished themselves as none other. In the great world war, in spite of the opposition to them among their own white countrymen, the colored soldiers won the applaudits of the world. Now, with such a war record you will agree that the Negro is no slacker, yea not only no slacker, but a patriot through and through. View, if you will, another picture of this ex-slave and downtrodden bunch of black humanity. Within fifty years he has partially overcome a total illiteracy by reducing it to thirty per cent of his twelve million souls. From practically nothing he has accumulated millions of dollars worth of real estate, owning lands in this country greater than the combined lands of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. There are multiplied thousands of lawyers, doctors and other professional men and women, who stand shoulder to shoulder with their white brethren. They own multiplied hundreds of colleges, universities, seminaries and high schools taught by colored men, and women. They sail the seas, soar the skies and roam the deserts in their horseless machines as do the white man. Even here in Seattle they own real estate valued at nearly five million dollars and own an array of benzine buggies verging dangerously close to being worth a million dollars. And now summing it all up, in spite of his handicaps, is not the Negro slowly but surely rising? Fifty-one years ago among the emancipated Negroes there were 900,000 mixed bloods—Caucasian and Negro—out of a population of four million. Today there are six million mixed bloods out of a population of twelve million, which does not include another million so white that they have decided to be white, all of which would seem to indicate that still another class of white men are working overtime to exterminate the Negro in this country, and, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, if the same pace is maintained for another fifty years as the past his aims will be almost accomplished. Not exactly extinct is the American Indian, that once numbered in the millions, but he is a mere remnant of his former self, and that, too, in spite of the fact that the government has expended billions of dollars trying to preserve and protect him. His illiteracy is almost as great as was it in his aboriginal state. His possessions real and personal are such as the government has doled out to him, which, like himself, is diminishing as time passes, all the aftermath of being government wards. He is a charge, a protege and a burden on the body politic of this country, and, if not still a bad Indian, is nevertheless a dependent Indian and giving little or no evidence of ever being any different. On the other hand the Negro stands alone, is self sustaining, is increasing both in numbers and possessions, seeks no pity or patrimony. All he asks is a man's chance—an open field and a fair fight. Like Diogenes, he asks nothing of any man, but to get out his sunlight. It is commendable in the highest for you, of the same kith and kin as those herein condemned, to become interested in the colored people of this country to the extent of allowing one of them to relate to you their trials and tribulations which have been universally proclaimed, a Race Problem, and if the white boys of today, who will be the white men of tomorrow, will follow in your footsteps and seek the true facts about the treatment of the Negro the next fifty years will almost see the end of the white and black race troubles in Uncle Sam's glorious domain. _ AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK & TRUST COMPANY American Bank Building, 2nd at Madison CAPITAL AND SURPLUS, FULLY PAID, $700,000.00 Assets, 4 MILLIONS 47% Compounded semi-annually, Paid on Savings | Our Safe Deposit Vaults are the Largest and Safest in the Northwest.
