TELEPHONE: BEACON 1910 Office 303 22nd Ave. South Our Industrial Unrest What of the future may be seriously asked as multiplied thousands of industrial workers throughout the United States lay down their tools because forsooth they do not get bigger pay and shorter hours of labor. And suppose they get what they demand, then who is going to pay it? Capitalists, it is claimed own or direct the financial affairs of the government which is doubtless true, but does it make things any better by forcing the trust thieves to divy up with the labor looters. Owing to the outrageous profiteering in the necessities of life a dollar bill at present is worth only forty cents and now burden that self same dollar with labor lootings and it will only be worth twenty-five cents. This seems to be the age of public hold ups and every fellow and his brother are trying to get theirs while the getting is good, and yet what they get does them no more actual good than did seventy per cent less five years ago. The capitalists and the laborers are all Americans, a part and parcel of this government, and unless both of them head in they will find themselves much in the same position as the Kil-Keny cat that ate itself up instead of grubb. What we are proud to boast of at present as the United States government can not long remain any kind of government unless the trust thieves and labor looters give up trying to rob each other. A socialistic form of government seems eminent, if this country can survive the present ordeal with any form of government. Life's Other Side. At the annual Conference of Governors held in Denver, race problems were brought before the body by a committee from the Southern Sociological Congress. The Committee consisted of Bishop Bratton, Episcopal bishop of Mississippi and president of the Congress; J. E. McCullough, its secretary, and Dr. J. H. Dillard, chairman of the section on race relations. The Congress, in its recent appeal to the Federal government to control mob violence, took the ground that race problems are of national rather than sectional concern; and it was felt if a policy could be formulated which could be endorsed by the governors of all the states a starting point would be secured from which the whole problem might be worked out along common lines. The committee stated its belief that "no enduring basis of goodwill between white and colored peoples in this country could be developed except on the fundamental principles of justice, co-operation, and race integrity":: and that we owe it to posterity "to preserve the purity of our democratic ideals expressed in the American constitution, as well as the purity of the blood of both races." The three items of the program are: The preventing of mob violence; safeguarding the Negro's rights of citizenship; promoting closer co-operation between the races. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 The specific suggestions under the first head appear very inadequate, as nothing is said of punishing mob leaders; but an honest carrying out of the rest of the program will do away with mobs by changing public opinion. This includes, under the second head, proper traveling accommodations, better housing, and adequate school and recreational facilities. The real strength of the program is in the promotion of co-operation. If the best men and women of the two races can be brought to know one another, the bogey of "social equality" will vanish and mutual trust and respect be established. Local white and colored committees are to be formed to consider matters of common interest—a policy already in successful operation in a number of communities in every Southern state. The employment of colored physicians, nurses and policemen for public health and law-enforcement among Negroes is recommended; co-operation with all constructive agencies of both races; and the appointment by each governor of a standing commission to study the race situation and to recommend means to prevent friction and to promote good will. This program was adopted in whole, and with hearty recommendation, by all the governors present. Act Well Your Part. That the readers hereof may not get the idea that the inhabitants of the South as a whole are not roughnecks and vulgar black-guards of the order of the editor of the Dublin paper quoted herein, the above excerpt is taken from the New York Age and it speaks for itself. But as liberal minded as seems to be Bishop McCullough, yet he knows that the seat of all the trouble between the whites and the blacks is due to the whites not wanting to give the colored man a square deal, yea not even the right of free speech. Its the white man's prerogative to say and do as he likes with the colored man and to brook no opposition from the colored man. Colored women are the legitimate prey of immoral white men, but colored men are brutally lynched if they accept the invitations of much-neglected white women to cohabit with them. We are surprised that more colored men do not rape innocent women than are reported, especially in the light of six million mixed bloods—Caucasian and Negro—in this country, ninety-nine per cent of which is due to white fathers and black mothers. Let the white man first act well his part and there is no doubt in our mind the black man will follow in his wake. Success of Curiosity. President Wilson's swing around the circle was a howling success, so far as seeing the various parts of the West and being entertained go, but his success was simply "success of curiosity." In other words the people turned out to meet him because they were curious to see a real president of th United States. Many years ago we had a friend, who showed us a cigar, which he kept in a glas case, which cigar was handed him by President Lincoln, and though a poor man he would not have taken $500 for it. An office cleaner spied it one day and appropriated it. Later on he was questioned about the aroma of the weed and replied, it was not worth a penny, and STATE LIBRARY, CLYMPIA, WASH. weekly EMBER 27. 1919 VOL. IV., NO. 15 yet it was almost reverenced because a president of this country once handled it. Those who fell all over themselves to meet the President and his wife did so out of sheer curiosity and today they are as much opposed to the political policies of the President as they were before they shouted themselves hoarse when he was talking to them and as much opposed to praising him as was the man who smoked the presidential cigar. The head of every institution attracts general attention and President Woodrow Wilson is no exception to the rule, his obnoxious Peace Pact Policies to the contrary notwithstanding. The Bullitt Testimony. Mr. Bullitt's testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate has caused a sensation on two continents. He quoted Secretary of State Lansing in a conversation with him (Bullitt) in Paris as saying: "I consider that the League of Nations at present is entirely useless. The great Powers have simply gone ahead and arannged the world to suit themselves. England and France in particular have gotten out of the treaty everything that they wanted, and the League of Nations can do nothing to alter any of the unjust clauses of the treaty except by unanimous consent of the members of the League, and the great Powers will never give their consent to changes in the interests of weaker peoples. "I believe that if the Senate could only understand what this treaty means and if the American people could really understand it would unquestionably be defeated, but I wonder if they ever will understand what it lets them in for." In answer to an inquiry addressed to his summer home at Watertown, New York, Secretary Lansing issued the very brief statement, "I have no comment to make." In diplomatic circles the statement, "I have no comment to make" is equivalent to saying "I do not deny what has been said." However, since this first statement, Secretary Lansing has issued another in which he says he will not dignify Mr. Bullitt's charge with a reply, but will allow the people to form their own judgment as they may see fit. This course of action seems to be a little risky. In Paris, Colonel House also refuses to make a statement. The whole affair is rather puzzling. It is hard just yet to tell what effect the Bullitt testimony will have: but if it is left entirely uncontradicted it will carry weight with a good many people. It seems that the Administration will follow a policy of ignoring what Mr. Bullitt said. It remains to be seen whether that policy will have the desired effect or not. Such a policy may result in causing the people to think that the Administration dare not contradict what Mr. Bullitt said. New York Age. Make Your Selection. "Send me the name of your prosperous colored family," wrote some one from Cleveland, Ohio, to the Post-Intelligencer of this city of recent date, which in turn was handed over to the editor hereof for answer. To name 'your prosperous colored family" after all was not so easily done as ```markdown ``` phe a ky ee MiMi ee coe oe A PT ee ORE RR Oe en ae 1 rrr ee immagined and we were puzzled as to which one of the many to name. Seattle’s colored families are all prosperous and the family that does not own its home and the same well furnished with all the modern conveniences is the exception and not the rule. Off handed the following families ane named as quite prosperous, yes so pros- perous that their respective realty holdings range all the way from $10,000 to $100,000: Z. lu. Woodson, E. R. James, C. H. Chand- ler, S. HH. Stone, John F. Cragwell, Dr. David T. Cardwell, B. F. Tutt, Ira F, Nor- ris, Sr., Ira F. Norris, Jr., S. A. Watts and others. There are more than 1000 colored families in and about Seattle each owning on an average a $3,000 home. There are no col- ored millionaires here, but the colored folks are stepping right along. The Irish Race. Whose voices are raised for the rights of mankind? Who fain would enlighten the bigoted blind? Who strive base autocracy’s rule to efface? The Irish, God bless them! success to their race! Who battle the forces of tyrants unjust? Whose love for America none should dis- trust? Who never the flag of our land will dis- grace? The Irish, God bless them! suecess to their race! When despots to princes would force them to kneel, And fain would false motives discreetly conceal, Who tears off the mask from hypocrisy’s face? The Irish, God bless them! suecess to their race! Who fought for our liberty long, lang ago? Who always will battle Democracy’s foe? Who yet independent shall hold a proud place? The Irish, God bless them! success to their race! All races united forever shall be Americans all in our land of the free, But none clearer title to freedom may trace, Than sons of old Erin, suecess to their race. —Wn. D. Totten. Note:—Inspired while reading speeches made by the committee who represented Ire- land’s cause before the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee. Our Northern Meddlers. With the imprudence of an organization with no other purpose in the world than to cause unrest among the Negroes of the South, the National Association for the Ad- vanecement of Colored People has deemed it advisable to send to the highest official of the United States a request that a rigid probe be made of the lynching of Ely Cooper, black, by ‘silent riders of the night’? on early Thursday morning in Dodge county. Backed by a statement, which is a black lie in itself, that the lives of ‘‘citizens of the United States’? are not being protected, the trouble-making association also brings the Shillady ease of Texas to the president’s attention with a hope that something will be done to the men who sent a white-nigger scampering back to the North with his slimy, moss-covered teachings. The Courier-Herald resents the insult cast upon the officials of Georgia by this nigger-lover’s association which had the insolence to say to a white president of the United States that this state, with others of the South, was not protecting the lives of its citizens both white and black. Since the day Oglethorpe set foot on soil afterwards christened Georgia, this good state has had laws and officials fully com- petent to deal with any situation arising within its borders without the air of a nigger racial equality society. It is high time that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in its in- fancy, (and liable to die in this state) should learn that Georgia is the land of white men. The South is a ‘white man’s country,” and the time.will never come when the interfer- ence of a nigger society, breeding discontent with every hour of existence, with the en- forcement of its laws, made by white men, and enforced by white men, will be toler- ated. The best thing the National Asosciation for the Advancement of Colored People with its white-nigger secretary can do for the betterment of the Negroes of the country is to shut its filthy mouthpiece and organs of racial equality and die in a grave filled with hop slops. When the South thinks it advisable to seek the president on ““pro- tecting the lives of citizens of the United States’’ it will do so with the support of white men and if it thinks best, the re- spectable, peace loving Negroes, who have lived with and know the true state of affairs. The nigger-lovers’ asosciation can rest assured that the officials of Georgia will protect the people without its air or advice. The national asosciation with the air of Chicago nigger newspapers, which have even gone so far as to state that the South was responsible for the recent race riots in the North, are indirectly responsible for the recent trouble in Lauarens and Dodge. If the nigger lovers want to make an of- ficial investigation of the affair let them send Shillady or some other representative to this county, and, while we do not be- lieve in lynching or condone the acts of the night riders, we will venture to say that the investigator will reach Hell before his scheduled time. The advancement associa- tion would do wel to keep out of the South and leave the Negro problem to people who know how to deal with it—Dublin (Ga.) Courier-Herald. A Southern Blackguard. An old saw runs, ‘‘One-half of the world does not know what the other half is do- ing’’, and with that in mind we reproduce the excerpt above that the readers hereof may see and read for themselves just how vulgar, uncouth and illiterate are many of the editorial writers of the South, for this is a fair sample of the editorial teachings of the publishers of the South. Such edit- orial billingsgate in any other section of this country save the South, though the subject matter be true, would be considered below the dignity of a gentleman to pub- lish. We note that the editorial roughneck refers to Oglethorpe as being the paternal ancestor of the Georgia outlaws, which doubtless must have caused that venerable old gentleman to turn over in his tomb and exelaim, ‘‘and what great sin did I com- mit that I must stand sponsor for the Georgia murders and border outlaws.’’ The fact of the matter is there is a grevious color problem in the United States that must be settled. If the intemperate hot heads on both sides persist in the sword, the lynch limb and the firebrands it will be a bloody settlement, but if the Christian citizens of this’ country including all colors will but reason together the whole will be peacefully settled. Calling ugly names and writing damphool editorials like unto the above will get us nowhere and if continued, fifty years from today, just as it was fifty years ago, the subject will still be a seeth- ing boil, which will periodically emit venom as vile as vitrol. White preachers in the South oceasionally use similar vulgar lang- uage as has the above editorial blackguard, but thank God such preachers are passing as must such editors. Fair play is a divine law and the country will continue in a state of turmoil until all men under the Stars and Stripes are given an even break in life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. Listen, Senator Jones. As we suspected after having listened to Senator Jones speak while in Seattle a few weeks ago, he is lining up with the Demo- erats on Wilson’s peace pact. We do not mean to criticise him because he voted con- trary to his party, but we do say that un- less he votes differnt than what he has al- ready voted on the peace pact he will stand about as much show of succeednig himself in the Senate as will the proverbial snow ball to fly through hadese. The state of Washington is overwhelmingly against the treaty without modifications and none too favorable of it at all. It was, we believe, Henry Clay who said, ‘‘I wouldw rather be right than president,’’” and may perhaps Senator Jones has reached the conelusion, “I would rather vote for the treaty than be returned to the Senate.’’ No one in our opinion can get the vote of the state of Washington, who is a supporter of the Woodrow Wilson peace pact. Taxation Without Representation. Within the United States there are about thirteen million colored citizens, the great majority of whom do manual labor for their livings and yet President Wilson has seen fit to call a conference between capital and labor, representatives from both sides he himself has named, but he did not deem the colored citizens of sufficient importance with the body politie of this country to name one of them on that conference board. Capital has always been more or less an- tagonistie to labor and though it has fre- quently favored colored labor over white labor yet it did so because it could use colored labor to the detriment of white la- bor. Capital is selfish and it endeavors to take advantage of al lelasses of labor, hence it can not consistently represent colored labor at the conference. Organized white labor has always been a unit against col- ored labor, hence it can not be expected to advocate any measure at the conference that will be for the betterment of colored labor. It will thus be seen that at that la- boring conference the colored labor will be taxed without representation. But in this President Wilson is maintaining his life-long opposition to the uplift of the col- ored man and he never loses an opportunity to throw impediments in his pathway. Mississippi Murderers Object. Judging from the reports in the Associ- ated Press one John Sharp Williams, a Mississippi senatorial roughneck, caught a tarter a few days ago, when he hooked Hi. Johnson from California. It took Johnson just five minutes to set the galleries howling against the administration peace pact and to hissing John Sharp Williams as though he was a border outlaw. The Mississippian was informed by the Californian that he was going to the Pacifie Coast to appeal to Americans—men and women who think and act on their initiative and not at the be- hest of one big chief, who was seeking to give America over to England and France. Hi. Johnson might have gone a step further and said to the Mississippi roughneck, ‘‘T am going to build up my political fences with argument and reason and not with the lynchers limb and the shot gun. California is Republican or Democratic as its voters see fit after the issues have been clearly put before them, but Mississippi on the other hand is Democratic under all conditions be- cause it is ruled by murderers, either before or after the fact.’’ Cayton’s Weekly REGULAR READABLE _~ - RELIABLE REPUBLICAN Will Help You If You Will Help It 803 22nd Ave. So. Beacon 1910 NEGRO EXTERMINATION The week just closing has seen three bloody outbreaks between the white and black citizens of the United States, which, viewed as a whole, forbodes no good for the future. The first of the series occurred in Omaha, Nebraska, which resulted in the lynching of a colored man, accused of having outraged a white girl, which may or may not be true, but at any rate the accused was given no opportunity to prove an alibi. So intolerant did the mob become that it came dangerously close to taking the life of the mayor of the city because he stood for "the law taknig its course," and the mob set fire to the court house, which was more or less destroyed. Moralizing on the Omaha situation for a minute, we do not hesitate to say it was absolutely uncalled for. Had the proper officials been alive to their duties they would have called for the troops, which were already stationed in the city, to quiet the riotous element. Men frenzied can not be reasoned with only with cold steel in the hands of determined men. The time to quell all forms of riot is when it begins and the way to do it is to do it. We have no sympathy for any man that will rape a woman and death is too good as a punishment for such a wretch, but we are unable to figure out how a man could hold a gun on another man and at the same time outrage a woman. The Alabama horror Monday was perhaps the most cold blooded murder that white men of the South have ever committed on colored men, which is saying a great deal. Almost without proof, three colored men were placed under arrest, charged with having attempted to outrage a white woman, and they were taken to an open field and told to run for their lives, when all three of them were shot to death by the mob, but a few yards from the muzzles of their guns. And this was done by Christian White Men in a Christian Land and Country. An alleged Negro Uprising was responsible for the infuriated white citizens of an Arkansas community, to grab their guns and shoot to death a number of colored men and one white man last Wednesday evening. How much truth there is in the story no one knows, but there does not seem to be very much. Just another excuse for the white man to put the fear of God into the black man's heart. What means all this, you ask? Simple enough. It means that the notions that the Negroes got into their heads while in Europe must be shot out. That the growing spirit of freedom in the bosoms of black men must be curbed, whenever and wherever it puts in its appearance. The Negro must be reduced to the same cowardly state of mind that he was in before he went to war. He must be rebaptised in the law that sent Dred Scot back into chains. The spirit of Justice Tarney must live on and on. We know not what others think on this subject, but "for me and mine", like the immortal Patrick Henry, "give me liberty or give me death." We prefer to see every colored person in the United States slaughtered and their bodies fed to the buzzards rather than for them to surrender one iota of the manhood they fell heir to while fighting in France to make the world safe for democracy. If bloody death must be our portion for being a man then, "Oh death where is thy sting? Oh grave where is thy victory"? THE STRIKE CONTINUES Owing to the printers' strike Cayton's Weekly has not been able to meet you and each of you as regularly as has been its custom and it does not promise to be any more regular than it has been for the past month, until some kind of a settlement of the trouble has been brought about. We will do the best we can and angles can do no more. H. R. CAYTON. 4% Compounded semi-annually, Paid on Savings Our Safe Deposit Vaults are the Largest and Safest in the Northwest.
