Cayton's Weekly SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1919 --- PRICE FIVE CENTS CAYTON'S WEEKLY Published every Saturday at Seattle, Washington. U. S. A. Subscription $2 per year in advance. 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 BUT TWELVE RIGHTEOUS. When Divine wrath was visited upon the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Lord promised Abraham to spare them from destruction if but ten righteous could be found within their limits. Needless to say, the saving ramnant could not be found and the Scripture tells us that these ancient cities were destroyed in a shower of brimstone and fire. The Republican majority in the House of Reperesentatives made a slightly better score on the side of righteousness at the session just closed, as twelve votes were cast in favor of eliminating the abominable "Jim Crow" car from the railroads of the country. Whether the twelve righteous will serve to save the party from the visitation of deserved retribution, human as well as divine, remains to be seen. The injustice and degradation enforced upon travelers of the Negro race by the exaction of first-class fare and the rendering service and accommodations of the vilest description were forcibly presented by reputable witnesses at the hearings on the Madden Amendment held before the Railroad Committee. What moved the Republicans to ignore this presentation of glaring injustice and perpetuate the infamy of the "Jim Crow" car is a mystery. Some light on the subject may be gained from the following letter, written to Representative Homer P. Synder by Miss Mary White Ovington: The Chicago Tribune of Sunday, November 166, quotes you as saying "Jim Crow" laws of Southern states, by which Negroes are prevented from traveling in passenger coaches occupied by whites, is not fought for by the Negroes. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States, hopes you have been incorrectly juoted. In the event that the Chicago Tribune correctly represented your remarks, I beg to refer you to the colored voters of New York City for an opinion on the accuracy of your statement. Not only the colored voters of New York City, but the colored traveling public in all sections of the country have been recorded as expressing abhorrence and resentment of the conditions forced upon them by the "Jim Crow" car. Recent protests against this system were presented from an army officer traveling on official business, an Ohio college president, a resident of a small North Carolina town and others, too numerous to mention. The idea that the Negroes of the South are not opposed to the "Jim Crow" car is a part of the propaganda of absurdities advanced by Southern whites, both in and out of Congress. No intelligent man of either race is fooled by such patent fabrications. The fight for equal and adequate railroad accommodations will continue, strengthened by the revelation that there are twelve righteous men in Congress, who voted against the "Jim Crow" car. It would be well for members of the race in all sections of the country who are familiar with the hardships of the sytsem to keep such members as Mr. Synder posted as to the conditions and as to the radical sentiment regarding them. There should be no excuse for any Congressman to claim that the iniquity is not fought by the Negroes. In the meantime the name of the twelve righteous should be inscribed on a roll of honor.—New York Age. AN INCONSISTENCY. The fellow with the money is the one you should honey, and give him some more, so he won't get poor, and live on the husks and the burnt bread crusts, like the man with none, that lives on the run, to give you the wealth while he has the health. Why buy from the poor, who sleep on the floor, when three blocks away, you can always pay, the money that's yours, to the fellow with the "chores?" When you buy from the king, it puts you in the ring, where the money goes round then hides in the ground. The man thats poor, don't have to get sore, for not being rich with golden pitch, for he's always been in the fix he's in. So let him remain in a struggling strain, that the rich may live on the things he gives. A man told me, "I'd much rather be a rich man's slave than a poor man's knave, for then I can work, and sometimes shirk, and yet be found, though fed on the ground. When the man that's poor pulls open the door, where the money's in piles and he gets the "tiles." he always overlooks his old time pets, which makes me feel like grabbing a weal and careking his head that's all full of "lead." The rich gets richer if the poor is the pitcher; now who is to blame for such a crooked game? Let's patronize men though they are thin that the world be tilled and the bins be filled, of what the gods provide for men to divide, then the poor will vanish and the rich won't famish. In other words do, unto others as you would have others do, to you and the crew. The man with the money shouldn't get funny because the poor has none and lives on a bon, but give them a chance to make an advance and then wil the world, round the turbulent whirl, pass to the right and avoid a fight. Inconvenient it is to have no "liz," but to hell you go, if you have the dough, is what was said in the book we read, when Lazus of old by Dives was told, no food he had for the poor old lad. So, let the rich and the poor, stand together on the floor and receive from the room the Grand Bridegroom. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS In Russia where choas prevails Emma Goldman, who has just been deported from this country, will be but one among all and her spasmodic as well as sporadic upheavels will attract no wide spread attention. Miss Em has had a long run for her money, but she finally got hers and so promote it be. Pounding arithmetic into his ten year old boy's head with an iron poker is both a new and noved daw l u rah sshtr ar mathecians and novel way of making a mathematician out of young hopeful, when he seems unusually backward in grasping such on sight, was the method adopted by a Seattle policeman. Evidently the cop did not want his VOL. IV., No. 26 son to be as big an ignoramus as himself and resorted to a such violent method to save his son from his father's fate. Inspite of the fact the Business Chronicle, the spokesman of the moneyed interest of Seattle, has lots of high class advertisings and gets $6 per year for a subscription, yet it is making an editorial appeal for individual contributions from those interested to help it pull through. We know it takes money to spread propaganda and Cayton's Weekly would like to make a similar appeal and would verily do so, but its editor would be branded a grafter if he did and it therefore is just going to ask you to send it two bucks. And Chicago continues as the convention city the Republican National Committee deciding to hold the next National Republican Convention there June 8th, 1920. Now that the coal miners have decided to accept the 14 per cent raise the coal barrons have concluded to have a bit of fun themselves by refusing to accept the decision. Its time for another injunction. As long as all of the persons with a surplus dollar array themselves on one side of the ditch and all the persons who toil for their daily bread array themselves on the other side and then soak rocks at each other, just so long will there be contention and strife between capital and labor. Get down in the ditch together. If those white men in Alabama, who have organized "to keep the white race pure" are successful in keeping the white race pure, before they can make much headway they will have to persuade Divine Providence to cast out a great deal of the "impurity" that has already crept in among them. If Billy Collier of Northern Bank and Trust Company failure fame, saved the amount he stole from the bank he doubtless has no regrets for the three years imprisonment he put in. Persons, who are money mad, have no scrupules as to how they get the money nor what sacrifice it costs them. It showed a fastidiousness that was more or less ludicrous when that Snoqualmie rancher thoroughly honed and stropped his razor and then cut his throat with it. Evidently he did not want to leave the impression that he was a butcher instead of a barber. Of course the administration is going to back down from breaking with Mexico, and its going to back down from any thing else that requires backbone to back up. Just how this country can live through this administration is a connundrum. You have never seen colder weather on Puget Sound in December than that which has prevailed over the Puget Sound basin for the past two weeks and we fear the end is not yet in sight. Being arrested has become so common to the editors of the Union Record of Seattle that the day is considered without important events unless some kind of a legal document is served upon them. ```markdown ``` THE PASSING THRONG "Selling out below cost. Landlord rented to a Chinaman, "says a sign on the front of a store in Seattle. After reading the sign I thought for a minute and then wondered to myself, what next would the money mad white man of the United States commercialize, for the greed of gain? I am told that a number of colored men not long since waited upon the Seattle Daily Times with the view of having it modify its methods of dishing up its race riot reports, and they were informed by some one in authority that to handle the story as did the Times meant the sale of hundreds and perhaps thousands of copies of the paper. In other words, the damage that it did counted for nought in comparison to the money that came in from the human outrage it committed and we yet wonder why Bolshevism thrives in this land of the free and home of the brave. * * * It has been many months since a colored person has had an opportunity to get a front page space in the daily press of Seattle, but that drouth was broken last Saturday morning, when one Van Duzen got in the lime light, by attempting to hold up a grocery store, and rightfully got his hide badly punctured with hot lead. The criminal acts of a colored man are always nuts for the daily press to crack and not having had an opportunity to dish up so tempting a morsel for many months, the reporters just feasted on what their eyes beheld. I have always wondered why, the bad things the colored man does moved the writers of the daily press to feature them over and above the good things that he does, but such is the fact, and I can't tell you why. *** Last Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. John Franklin Cragwill tendered the Rev. and Mrs. Eugene A. Johnson a farewell reception, on the eve of their departure for California, to take up their permanent abode in that land of sunshine, flowers and fruit. Some fifty or more persons were present to assist the host and hostest in impressing upon the honored guest that their years of stay in this community were years of usefulness, as well as helpfulness, and was highly appreciated at least by those present. Rev. Johnson has practically retired from the ministry, having served his probation in active service, which, under the rules of his church, permits him to retire on a pension. Even on earth I trust that the most of us would like to hear our neighbors say, "well done, good and faithful servent. * * * Last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Efficiency Club of Seattle and the leadership of Dr. Arthur Williams, a Sunday Forum was organized in the old Afro-American Hall, with the view of giving the public an opportunity of discussing questions of the hour. I, with others, remember when a similar institution was in operation in Seattle, and, the greater part of its existence in that self same hall, at each meeting of which the house was full and overflowing, and an abiding interest was taken in the same, which so continued until selfishness brought about its downfall. But Dr. Wiliams is young and vigorous and likewise full of pep and he doubtless will put the newly organized forum on an even sounder footing than it ever was before. Here is success to you Doc, in your commendable undertaking. * * * My Christmas remembrance reached me a little ahead of time, said B. F. Tutt, but, all the same it is just as appreciative. I have been recently designated Grand Traveling Deputy of the Elks for Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, which, gives me the power to set up new lodges and settle complications that may arise in this jurisdiction. "Once on a time the Elks flourished in the Northwest, but when the trouble between the white and colored elks arose the most of the lodges surrendered their charters. Mr. Tutt has already opened correspondence with former members of the leading cities in his jurisdiction and he is quite confident that early in next year he will have set up lodges in Tacoma, Portland, Spokane, Everett and many other places in his jurisdiction. *** I should have gone to Yakima last night, said I at my breakfast table last Monday morning, "so that I could have attended the Republican pow-wow that is to be pulled off there to night. All of the gubernatorial aspirants wil be there and I am anxious to get in touch with some of them. I noticed a smile hanging about the countenances of my wife and daughter, when the former, as a rejoinder to my remark said: "In other words, you want to touch some of the gubernatorial aspirants." I made no objection to her rendition of my desire to be in Yakima, and left for the city, and without exaggeration at least a dozen old timers during the day hailed me with: "Why are you not in Yakima today?" Because I am not, I began to snap out in reply. I may be a political grafter alright, but I object to everybody telling me that I am even though they do so in a polite way. * * * In five days more, the rich and the poor, will all be the same as its the end of the lane. On Wednesday next, says the prophet's text, the world will bend and come to an end; and God knows where, it will light in the air. But the hope of dodging our board and lodging, and feeling the debt is forever set, are such good news that we want no booze to brace us up for the flying cup. If the world stops still, that will settle our bill, and the fellow with the note will be in a boat and can't come again for the money or the "cain" without having to face a fall into space, or lighting on the moon, where the big buffoon has been burning of the bush where the wild winds rush, since the world was made on a down hill grade. If we all have to go, to the judgment row, what a jolly good ride with the Earth and his bride. How lonesome, for to travel alone in the gravel, but I have a hunch that a mighty big bunch will ride through the air and pay no fare, if the world takes a bend and comes to an end. Yet I have a fear, that another new year will force us to meet the bill for the beets that we used last year for the sugar and the beer. * * * I met Representative John F. Miller on the street the other day, who is absent from Congress until after the Christmas Holidays, and while in Seattle he will consult with his constituents concerning national legislation. Since he is to be here some time it occurred to me that the colored citizens should take advantage of the opportunity and invite him to talk to them, addressing himself to the remedy for race riots, and especially in the National Capitol. And while with us also explain why Congress, though largely Republican, fained to pass the anti-Jim Crow Car law which Representative Madden of Illinois offered as an amendment to a railroad bill before Congress, which only received twelve votes. I repeat some of the uplift organizations—National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—should by all means have Mr. Miller to address his colored constituents on those very vital points before he returns to his legislative duties. * * * Go to some church next Sunday. * * * I had a plumber to give me an estimate on some plumbing work and after looking over his figures I said to him, that is nothing short of highway robbery. "I fully agree with you" was his frank rejoinder, but the other fellow robbed me and I have no other alternative but to rob you, if I happen to do business with you. Then he looked at me in a more or less quizzical way and innocently inquired, "Do you do any business with any one? If so then you rob them just as I am robbing you, for every body is doing it. Then I thought what a sad commentary on this Christian Civilization of ours. When I had concluded my thinking, at least on that subject, then it occurred to me, this is a white man's country, and one need not be surprised at anything that happens. * * * Go to some church next Sunday. EDITORIAL As presidential candidates Coolidge and Hanson may succeed in turning our country wrong side out, but if they do, where will they be? With Hart, Hartley, Savage, Lamping and Coman openly seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination, the one that gets it will do so by the skin of his teeth. It seems that the capitalists of this country are worrying more about the army of idle men than are the men themselves, which gives us the idea that, they have a selfish motive for doing so. No, constant reader, Lincoln did not beat McCorkle two to one as was predicted by this paper last Saturday, but he was thousands of votes ahead of him, and that's good news enough. Why worry about the world. Coming to an end since every body will have to go and go in a body and most any old world will beat this in its unsettled condition. It will take the coal miners a long time to cover up their losses from their forty day strike. Who is without coal to burn certainly has cold to burn. Shoes that cost "ninety eight cents a pair to turn out are being sold by the retailers for $15 a pair and that is looked upon as good business by the dealers. Robbing the other fellow is of such common occurrence these days that one is perfectly justified in saying, "every body is doing it." Thying to throw a monkey wrench in the machinery seems to be a weakness of quite a few persons who attend public gatherings. LISTEN DEAR READER. My Dear Subscriber: May perhaps you have forgotten that Cayton's Weekly expects you to be its Santa Claus and put two ($2) dollars in its stocking for Christmas Gift, which will pay for the paper coming to your address the ensuing year. Many of you did this one year ago, which brought good cheer to its editor and a good cheer to those dependent upon him. Now good friends, have a heart and do it again and that will be twice you have done it, and then it will become a quite habit with you. If your pen happens to slip and you make it twenty instead of two dollars you need not worry, I can and will put it to good use. HORACE R. CAYTON, 317 22nd South, Seattle, Wash.

The Mexican census of 1910 reveals the fact: some seven thousand families of Spanish Creole descent own nearly all the fertile soil of Mexico; and since Mexico measures in all some 750,000 square miles, it follows that these feudal estates average over a hundred square miles each. Many of them are immensely greater. The Terrazar estate in Chihuahua contains some 13,000,000 acres, an area as large as Holland and Belgium combined: the Terrazas family owns, not kingdom, but a pair of kingdoms. And there is an estate in Yucatan said to contain 15,000,000 acres.—Charles Johsnston, in the Atlantic Monthly. INTERNAL FREE TRADE AND CHINA WHAT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN? There was Arisitides, who was called "the Just" till it got on the nerves of the Athenians. He couldn't understand it. Now, the trouble wasn't that he was too just, but that he did justice too monotonously. I used to say, "Aristides, I don't mean to suggest, but can't you let your justice break out in a new spot? You have been doing justice to the free-born citizen till they can't stand it any more. Their consciences have reached the saturation point. Why don't you practice justice on a new set who are not used to it? Why not try it on the slaves? It would be a real treat to them. The Athenians wouldn't know what to make of it and would quit calling you the Just." "What would they call me then?" "I'm sure I don't know, but it would be interesting for you to find cut."—Samuel McChord Crothers, quoting Dame Experience, in the Atlantic Monthly. Go to some church next Sunday.
