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 As good a politician as is Senator Wesley L. Jones we suggest to him to watch his step. Better that Wilson break down than the country break down, which it will do, if Wilson has his way. When you realize that you have outlived your day of usefulness then cheerfully go way back and sit down. Within the past eighteen months Seattle has seen a good many strikes and walkouts but none of them has amounted to a tinker's damn. The printers' strike forced us to take a vacation, but we have not enjoyed it, for the reason that, we soon realized, that no paper no pay. No, the League of Nations episode is not a partisan issue, but we observe that the Republicans are on one side and the Democrats on the other. If baseball is the game it is cracked up to be then that diamond stunt that the Seattle team is going through is not baseball, but funny ball. Just imagine what would have happened to Major Deavers had he been colored instead of white—makes a world of difference whose ox is being gored. There may have been Septembers that were the saddest of the year, but the September which has just closed in the Puget Sound country has been the none such. Highly educated persons, it is claimed, are not money makers, which must explain why so many editors and writers are forced to go over the hill to the poor house. Luckily Senator Reed could not be taken as a colored man or he would have been hot leaded instead of rotten egged when he attempted to speak at Ardmore, Oklahoma. We have dollars to douhnuts that the local Alhambra baseball aggregation would make Brewster's Colts look like sick kittens if they will play the Alhambras a post season game. In going into a "race war" in the South the colored man must keep in mind that the white man always has a supply of arms and ammunition laid away for just such picnic occasions. White men, who are "gentlemen" in Georgia would be looked upon as bowery toughs in any other section of the United States. Southern chivalry has a rather odd way in proving its prowess. In view of the fact that the job printers of Seattle have failed to get something for nothing, we suspect that the daily paper printers had better take time by the forelock and let well enough alone. It seems that the officials of the Seattle Lighting Company can hypnotize the Republican Public Service Commission just as easily as it did the Demoratic Commission, but, come to think, money hollers. Cayton's Weekly has been preaching home buying and you have done so, now its going to preach home paying. Do not let the gras grow under your feet in paying for your home. If possible pay twice and thrice more than you promised to do. Some editors say so many nice things about their readers and their readers so frequently reply in kind that we sometimes think the editors and their readers have organized an Admiration Society for mutual protection. All magazines in New York are to be suspended pending the outcome of the allied printers' strike. It seems to us that the printers are already getting the worst of this strike business and sooner or later they will be wishing "I had my dollar back." For a long time more colored persons will be killed in the periodical race riots than white persons are killed, but contrary to the past, some white persons are killed, which shows pronounced progress on the part of some of the colored citizens of this country. We are still trying to figure out, how a man, though black enough to spit ink for the government, could hold a gun on a man and at the same time outrage his escort, but the man who did the dirty work is dead and we presume that we will never see the explanation forthcoming. Not much provocation is required for a southern white man to kill "a niggah" and yet he touts himself to believe that he is the Negro's best friend. Hell is full and overflowing with such damnable friendship as is his, and from which may the good God deliver us. What are your plans for the future? has been asked the thousand and one high school graduates in the state of Washington by Mrs. Josephine Corlis Preston, state superintendent of public education, the answers to which, we have our suspicions, would make exceedingly interesting reading matter for the public. In your opinion, when a man is sixty past, should he give up trying to prepare for the future on earth or should he be satisfied with the goods the gods provide and take life easy? We know everybody and his brother have an answer for this question and a thousand replies will come pouring in on us before another week passes. President Wilson evidently worried himself sick because the people would not see the peace pact as does he. For one man to do the thinking for the masses used to be the caper, but it don't go now Any time the Associated Press in reporting a race riot admits that a certain number of white persons were killed, you are safe in betting that twice the number bit the dust. The A. P. correrpondents always lie in reporting the actual facts of such unfortunate outbreaks. Though formerly a teacher in the public schools of Seattle and subsequently a prosperous practitioner at the bar of this VOL. IV., NO. 17 county and state he is now a longshoreman and earns upwards of $300 per month. "And believe me, I am far more happy than when I was pleading cases," said he one day last week. No, this man well up in years is not laying the foundation for a future fortune, but he is building a bulwark to keep the wolf from the door when age bends his body and weakens his walk. If Hulet M. Wells' health is broken and he is a physical wreck, owing to the more or less brutal treatment he has received at the hands of the prison officials at McNeil's Island, then he has himself to blame for all of his troubles. Wells was sent to prison for kicking aganist the pricks and once in prison he was even more set in his cussedness than before going, all of which was nuts for a Democratic official to crack, who in all probability would rather brutalize an unfortunate than to brace him up with human kindness. But, we suspect, in Wells and the warden it was a true case of Greek meeting Greek. 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 politic of this country to name one of them on that conference board. Capital has always been more or less antagonistic to labor and though it has frequently favored colored labor over white labor yet it did so because it could use colored labor to the detriment of white labor. Capital is selfish and it endeavors to take advantage of al leclasses of labor, hence it can not consistently represent colored labor at the conference. Organized white labor has always been a unit against colored 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 laboring 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 colored man and he never loses an opportunity to throw impediments in his pathway. Judging from the reports in the Associated 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 Pacific Coast to appeal to Americans—men and women who think and act on their initiative and not at the behest 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, "I 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 because it is ruled by murderers, either before or after the fact." --- THE NEGRO: SOLDIER CITIZEN He has come back from over land and sea. With a larger vision looming in his eye: A citizen with a marked philosophy— A new-type man whose spirit will defy Whatever tends to stay his onward stride. And in his voice there wreaks the stern demand For that which has to him e'er been denied— A citizen's rights in his own native land. Think not ye that he'll stagger 'neath the load, Nor be contented with his erstwhile lot. Full—well he knows—that which he gave he owed, And calmly feels that God has not forgot Those brave black men who gladly paid the price In dying faith which Heaven questions not, And shall reward so great a sacrifice. THORNTON HASKELL KELLEY. However, it may be the intention of Mr. Wilson to proceed in Ireland's behalf under the vague provisions of this article. Indeed, no less a person than ex-Senator Lewis declares that he will do so. Ex-Senator Lewis, up to the time of his recent retirement, was considered the spokesman of the President in the Senate; so his words, perhaps, still carry some authority. Several days after the President answered this list of questions in San Francisco the ex-Senator from Illinois issued a statement in which he said: "Let me state the position of Woodrow Wilson on the Irish question as it will be disclosed in conduct. He treats the league as a tribunal in the form of an international court of justice to peoples who claim relief from any professed wrongs of government. "At the first meeting of the league this autumn in Washington—following the ratification of the peace treaty by the Senate Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, in a peace conference called at Paris by the Allied nations who were at war with the German powers. He is no longer bound by any of the limitations contained in the call or its boundaries of jurisdiction defined by the charter upon which the nations summoned were restricted. "He then is President of the United States. As such he can present to the league of nations as a member of it for the United States the demands of the Irish born or the Irish-American citizenry of the United States in behalf of their mother country, Ireland, in the full form as they urge it." President Wilson's exposition of article 11 of the covenant taken together with the statement of ex-Senator Lewis sheds new light on the eague of NationsL; a light which ought to be welcomed by the colored citizens of the United States. For if President Wilson can go before the League as the spokesman of the Irish-American citizenry in behalf of their brothers in their mother country, Ireland, why cannot the president of Liberia go before the League as the spokesman of American descended Liberians in behalf of their brothers in their mother country, the United States? The cases are analogous and we are speaking seriously. Liberia is a member of the League. Her people, at least, the governing classes are either American born or the descendants of American born Negroes. Therefore, these Liberians would have as good a right to bring to the attention of the League the political and civil treatment given their brothers in the United States as the American born Irish would have to do likewise for their brothers in Ireland. It is natural to jump to the conclusion that although the Liberians might have the same right as the Irish-Americans, their chances of getting a hearing and action would not be so good because Liberia will not have so great an influence in the League which the United States will have. Suppose after the League is --- --- NEW LEAGUE OF NATIONS As President Wilson has proceeded west on his tour his speeches on the Leeague of Nations have become less and less general in their phrasing and more and more specific. This is as it should be. The country had heard enough of why the nation went to war, of how bravely the American boys had fought, and about "humanity" and "democracy" in general; what it wanted to know was how the League was going to work. At San Francisco the President answered a series of questions submitted to him by the Labor Council of that city. The fourth question and its answer are particularly interesting. Interesting because they involve what concerns the great powers, but what concerns those peoples who were led to put their faith in Mr. Wilson's phrase, "self-determination." The fourth question was as follows: The fourth question was as follows: 4. Why was the case of Ireland not heard at the peace conference? And what is your position on the subject of self-determination for Ireland? To this question the President answered: Answer: The case of Ireland was not heard at the peace conference because the peace conference had no jurisdiction over any question of that sort which did not affect territories which belonged to the defeated empires. My position on the subject of self-determination for Ireland is expressed in article 11 of the covenant, in which I may say I was particularly interested, because it seemed to me necessary for the peace and freedom of the forum should be created to which all world that a peoples could bring any matter which was likely to affect the peace and freedom of the world. Here we learn that the Peace Conference did not consider that it had the jurisdiction to right the wrongs of any peoples except those in territories that belonged to the defeated empires. Just why the Peace Conference should have imposed such a limitation on its powers is difficult to understand and impossible to justify. The peoples in the territories belonging to the victorious powers helped to win the war, and it would seem that they would be entitled to the benefits of the war, even in preference to the peoples of the territories of the defeated powers. And one of the most definite promises held out during the war was self-determination. But what does article 11, to which the President refers say? Article 11 reads as follows: "Any war, or threat of war, whether immediately affecting any of the Members of the League or not, is hereby declared a matter of concern to the whole league, and the League shall take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations. In case such an emergency should arise the Secretary-General shall on the request of any member of the league forthwith summon a meeting of the Council. "It is also declared to be the friendly right of each Member of the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or of the Council any circumstance whatever affecting international relations which threatens to disturb international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends." If the hope of Ireland for self-determination rests upon any interpretation of article 11, which takes into account the usual meaning given to English words, that hope is indeed very slim. Undoubtedly the President based his statement on the second part of the article, which says that each member of the League has a right to bring to the attention of the assembly or council any circumstances whatever affecting international relations which threatens to affect international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends. But even the most strained interpretation of that part of the article fails, in our opinion, to offer any remedy which fits the case of Ireland. adopted President Wilson does go forward for the Irish in America under article 11, and does succeed in securing a greater or a full degree of self-determination for the Irish in Ireland; is it not reasonable to suppose that England would lend a willing ear to whatever Liberia might have to whisper about the status of the colored people in the United States? Under such circumstances the strength of Liberia would be the whole strength of England. We hope that President Wilson does believe that article 11 provides for the freeing of Ireland from England; and we further hope that immediately after the adoption of the League he will attempt to carry out those provisions; and we hope still further that he will succeed. If he does there will be something doing all over the world and the United States will be pretty much mixed up in it.

Beacon 1910 WHAT OF OMAHA'S MAYOR Much has already been said commendatory of the actions of the Mayor of Omaha, who almost suffered the humiliating misfortune of dying an ignominious death—lynched for endeavoring to prevent a colored man from benig lynched—and, perhaps, he is deserving of a much greater amount of favorable comment than he has already gotten, and, while we heartily commend him for what he did in that gruesome affair, yet we do so with a most decided reservation. After havnig carefully studdied over the whole ugly situation we have no hesitancy in taking the stand that, the mayor was a political coward, as was also the sheriff of the county, in not asking for government troops, which were already in the corporate limits, long before the mob reached the frenzied state of mind to attempt the lynching of the chief executive of that city. He was, in our opinion, a political coward and a lynching appologist for not moving against that mob, backed by the strong arm of the law, when it gave evidence of becoming unruly, and not only prevented the lynching of a human being but likewise the wanton destruction of private and public property. Yea, we are not too sure but that a fearless grand jury would indict, not only the mayor, but the sheriff also, for criminal negligence, on the grounds that they did not use due precaution to prevent murder and incendiarism. Trying to cajole an angry mob of human beings, with hell in their hearts and Bolshevism in their brains, to convert it from its determined purpose, is as utterly impossible as it would be to dissuade a pack of howling hyenas from the trail of a flock of innocent lambs by sprinkling sugar on the trail, over which they would distractedly gallop in quest of their victims. No one knew this better than did that Omaha mayor, but he hesitated to take the bull by the horns in its incipiency lest he jeopardize his future political opportunities. However, when it was too late he attempted the impossible and now realizes his mistake. Had the mayor of Omaha been a student of present-day conditions, in every city in the North, where colored folks in large numbers from the Southern states have rendizvoud since the outbreak of the recent world war, he would have observed the strained relations between the white and black citizens of such cities and communities, and he would have called for such help in the very outset as would have enabled him to have stemmed the tide and thereby allowed the law to take its course. That mob did not wreak vengeance on that colored man because the members thereof were so keen to safeguard womanly virtue or to avenge the wrongs suffered by that particular young woman, but it took advantage of the opportunity to administer a rebuke to the colored folks for taking white men's jobs. It was another instance of that evil genius, which left Washington City a few months ago, and has since only hit in high places, getting in another well-directed blow on the black man. In the face of all that has been said to the contrary, the colored man is not a rapist, not only not a rapist, but not a criminally inclined creature, save only in isolated instances, and this is said advisedly, because meeting as many private and public insults as he does from time to time and observing the wholesale bestiality his women are subjected to by the white man, the wonder is, that the whole damn family are not confirmed criminals of the most dangerous type. This reign of terror that is running riot all over this Christian land and country at present is a well directed propaganda with no higher aim and object than to intimidate the colored soldier, returning from "over there", back into his former crouching condition, and while it may result in the murdering of multiplied thousands of them and their friends, yet, be it understood, the remaining ones will continue to lift high their heads and shout aloud, "and yet we are men for a' that. And if the officials of the law refuse to protect us, because we are black, then we will endeavor to protect ourselves as long as we can, and when we fail we will fall with our faces to the enemy and die like men." Color in th human family is but a varigation and by no means a designation and the black man of this country has as many and as varied rights to protect as the white man and in the future he will exhibit a much more decided strength of character in the protection of those rights, than he has as yet ever done. This country is in imminent need of public officials wth the strength of character to checkmate riots in their incipiency, at any cost and do so without an eye single to their political future; officials, who stand for law and order, rather than graft and political ascendency, and such being acquired and installed they will find the hearty co-operation of the great rank and file of this "land of the free and home of the brave.".
