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 WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD? "Bread Lines in Madrid, Italys' coal supply practically exhausted, Jugo-Slavs threatening war, Germans in Baltic in desperate plight, retreating before Lettish troops shooting into trainloads of refugees! Such are a few headlines. The world is far from the happiness that peace was to bring and is far from peace." These words were taken from Brisbane's editorial in the New York Journal on Thanksgiving Day, and Brisbane might have added, "The coal miners are on a strike 400,000 strong, and the lynching spirit in Arkansas and the Sunny South was never more verile and more active." The quotations which we have made in this issue of The Negro World from New York newspapers and from the New Republic shows that the spirit of unrest is universal and world-wide. But no writer has more aptly summed up the cause of the disquiet and dissatisfaction than Ernest Bentham in The West Indian of Grenada when he said: "The present spirit of universal disquietude is but the outcom of wrongly applied economic measures, which, with the present awakening of a true democratic consciousness, will always result in passive or violent protest against any injustiie or inhumanity in whomsoever or wheresoever found. What is lost sight of is that the spirit of co-operation has taken deep root the world over, and just as there is cooperation and combinations among capitalists, so in like manner oppressed labor refuses to make a commodity of itself." This is a powerful statement and it's true- Let us consider the wrongs of the world and then the awakened consciousness of men. Civilization has improved considerably since the days of the Caesers. Then slavery was a universal institution. The rights of women and children were not respected. And worst of all, men fought to kill each other and fought like wild beasts merely to amuse a crowd in the Coliseum on a Roman holiday. But still conditions are far from ideal. As a matter of fact, men have never wholly accepted the teachings of Christ's Sermon on the Mount. They have never en masse answered the question "Am I my brother's keeper?" in the affirmative. They have never reached the point where they could love their neighbors as themselves. Until 1846 a man could be a good Christian in the British Empire and still maintain slave plantations in the West Indies. Until 1863 a man could be a good Christian in the South and traffic in human flesh and blood. Then when slavery was abolished the Anglo-Saxon thought that it was his divine mission to dominate the darker races, exploiting them in the meanwhile. And the German only advanced a little further when he conceived the idea of dominating the entire world, exploiting it on the side. In the Northern and Western states prior to the European war the colored man's status was not so bad. Those Negroes who showed ability, ambition and energy were aided in getting an education and were sometimes helped to lucrative positions. The Negro was permitted to vote and enjoy some civil privileges and considerable freedom of speech. He had more freedom in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois than in any other sections. Then the religious denominations like the A. M.A., the Freedman's Aid and Southern Education Society, the Baptists, the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians spent hundred of thousands liberally for the education and religious training of Southern Negroes. The Unitarians contributed liberally to the industrial propaganda, and a few philanthropists gave a haif a million dollars in a lump sum. The Negroes' main drawback in the North was that he was barred from the labor unions. But they have now begun to let down their bars. But in the Southland, the Negro is barred from holding political office, is disfranchised, jim-crowed and lynched. If Milton's Satan should conceive the idea of setting up a terrestrial Hell, he could conceive nothing better than the state of affairs in some sections of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texs. Over in the West Indies, between the British taxes and regulations and the United Fruit Company's high rates, the blacks were reduced to poverty. Before the European war, all of Africa, except Liberna and Abyssinia was partitioned out between England, France, Germany, Portugal Belgium and the Boers. The exploitation of Africa was a byword. France gave her blacks a chance to rise in the Army and Navy and to set in the Chamber of Deputies, and England made some educational improvements in Sierra, Leone and Cape Town. But while the missionary was present, the main purpose of the colonization of Africa was the gathering of the gold, ivory, diamonds, cocoa, rubber, ebony, mahogany and other products. And this could best be achieved by keeping the African in a state of political subjugation. The Belgians and Boers were the hardest taskmasters. France's quarrel with Germany a few years ago, which nearly precipitated war, was over Africa. And the desire to harvest the wealth of Africa was one of Germany's purposes in the last war. But Thanksgiving Day, with the Negro all over the world discontented, the white and yellow man was also dissatisfied everywhere. China did not desire to give Shantung to Japan! Korea was protesting against Japanese domination: Persia did not desire England to establish protectorate over her: Ireland, India and Egypt complained of the heavy hand of Great Britain: the Italians and Jugo-Slavs were on the eve of war! the Jews resented being massacred by the Poles; the British workmen were dissatisfied. Despite the revenues from the colonies, the maintenance of a landed aristocracy, with palatial mansions and vast estates, who toil not, spin not, neither do they reap, and the war reduced England to a state of poverty and brought her to the verge of bankruptcy. And in America 400,000 striking coal miners were in a state of defiance. Such was the condition of affairs on Thanksgiving Day. What was the trouble? What was wrong with the world? The Darwinian hypothesis, the revelations of modern science and the higher criticism weakened the iron grip of the Bible and weakened the hold religion had on the masses of men. Then men made a religion of Nationalism. And it was the jealousies and rivalries of the various VOL. IV., No. 27 European nations which precipitated the world war. Then, too, the possibility of acquiring large fortunes caused men to make a god of money and to see in their fellow man a thing to be used and not a human being to be developed and uplifted. That was the trouble with the Coal Barons, and that is why the government ordered them to give the miners 14 per cent increase in wages and not to raise the price of coal. Before the income tax the papers say that the Coal Barons reaped enormous porfits—2,000 per cent on the capital invested. And we have been informed that, although two Western packers employed thousands, the total amount of profits distributed among the stockholders greatly exceeded the total wages paid. And working men all over the country feel that they whose brawn and muscle sustained the business ought to receive a bigger percentage of the profits. This is back of all the strikes. But the conditions are not essentially different today from those of six years ago, so why this sudden world-wide protest and dissatisfaction? In the first place, the war put a strain on the nerves and made men more irritable. In the second place, the taxes and high cost of living put a strain on the pocketbooks of the common people. In the third place, the workers began to feel that the manufacturers of war supplies reaped huge profits during the war. In the fourth place, President Wilson's talk about humanity, about making the world safe for democracy, about the self-determination of small nations and about meting out justice to oppressed classes excited false hopes in the masses all over the world. They believed that Woodrow Wilson was a Messiah who was going to usher in the millennum as the result of the war. President Wilson builted wiser than he knew. Unconsciously he was a weapon of destiny, an instrument in the hands of Divine Providence. It is undoubtedly true that there's a divinity that shapes our end, rough hew them as we may." President Wilson's league of nations—called the league of notions—was a utopian dream, the same as Ponce de Leon's attempt to discover the fountain of eternal youth. The world was not ready for President Wilson's league of nations. President Wilson who like Christopher Columbus. The latter started out to discover a new sea route to India; instead he discovered a new continent. America's President attempted to found a league of nations which would make world peace a reality; instead he set the oppressed nations and races and classes—black, brown, yellow and white—to thinking. That is why we call him a weapon of destiny and an instrument in the hands of Divine Providence. Although he could not translate his dreams into reality and although he might not have realized the full import and meaning of his words, he became the articulate expression of the conscience of mankind, the voice of oppressed races, nations and classes. He gave utterance to what the under dogs in the world felt. The humanity, justice, liberty and freedom that he so eloquently and persuasively wrote and talked about was the liberty and freedom that other men wanted to enjoy and the humanity and justice that they wanted meted out to them. Is it any wonder, then, that he gave the world a moral thrill, that his words found a responsive echo even in the heart's of the African and ```markdown ``` his descendants in the Western hemisphere? He was but the spark that kindled the combustible material into the flame of a worldwide revolt against every kind of wrong and injustice. Men were asleep six years ago; they are wide awake now. They kept silent about their wrongs and grievances six years ago; they are speaking out now. That is why the American and British laborer, the American and West Indian Negro, the Irishman, the Jew, the Hindu, the Egyptian, the Chinaman, the Korean and the African are bestirring themselves. The present state of the world inclines us to the belief that the Unitarians and Universalists are wrong regarding the nobility of man and that there is a good deal in the good, old-fashioned Presbyterian doctrine regarding the natural depravity of man. As the old-fashioned theologians said, man must be changed from nature to grace. The strife between the carnal and spiritual man is as intense as it was in St. Paul's day. One little prescription given to the world 1900 years ago by Jesus of Nazareth, called "The Golden Rule," would work wonders in simplifying many modern problems and solving many knotty questions. And while philosophers, psychologists, sociologists and statesmen, confronted by the complexity of modern labyrinth are racking their brains in the vain endeavors to get out of modern difficulties, it is well to remember that just a very simple formula, a very simple recipe, will unravel the tangled skein.—Negro World. WHAT OTHERS DO. While there is nothing in saying, "you are another," yet we are unable to refrain from so doing just now, which prompts us to reproduce the following criminal review from North Carolina. From Mt. Airy, N. C., comes one of the most revolting stories the newspapers have ever had to record. Wesely Newman, a white farmer, with several grown daughters, was convicted of incest. The testimony showed that for three years Newman had compelled three of his daughters to submit to his lustful inclinations, threatening death if they resisted. He was sentenced to from thirty to sixty years in state prison. Another incest case was that of James H. Scott, a white carpenter, aged 54, who had, two years ago when the girl was only twelve years of age, made an attack upon his own daughter. Recently he attempted to commit the same crime against her daughter, and in self-protection she called in the police. From Asheville, N. C., comes the tale of a five-year old white girl who is under treatment by physicians for a venereal disease as the result of an attempted criminal assault by James Gaddy, aged 65, a white man said to be formerly from Greenville, S. C. J. E. Cline, a white man, was convicted of criminally assaulting a young white woman, and sentenced to be electrocuted on December 12. An appeal to the Supreme Court has stayed the execution and Cline has been taken to the state prison. Johnston county people are strongly oppososing the granting of clemency in the case of C. L. Godley. Godley is another white man who has been convicted and is under sentence of death for criminal assault, and his friends are asking Governor Bickett to exercise clemency. If the Johnston county citizens opinion is regarded he will die for the crime which he committed. In Craven county a slightly different element enters into a case in the county court, as Carrie Fields, a white woman, is suing Walter Brinson, a white man, for $25,000 on the charge of robbing her of her honor, declaring that he is the father of her young child. She alleges that about two years ago, he persuaded her to take an auto ride with him, and forced her to submit to his desires. She charges also that he accomplished the same purpose at various other times. The opportunity offered by an auto ride was also taken advantage of by Wm. Burke Roe, a 22 year old white man of Franklinton, who was arrested and lodged in the Louisburg jail charged with having committed rape upon Eva Kearney, a white girl, 14 years old. It is alleged that while auto riding with the girl, Roe committed the asault at the Tar river bridge, and that the girl suffered so greatly from the rough usage to which she had been subjected that it was several days before she was able to make complaint against him. Under the name of "William Buck." this man appeared before Judge O. H. Guion in Raleigh in habeas corpus proceedings instituted by his council. At the hearing the defendant contended that the girl was not assaulted but that immoral relations were had with the girl by her willing consent. The court released the defendant on $3,000 bail. Many other cases in other Southern states have been noted during the same period, but it is not thought probable that any other state has given any more publicity to its white rapists of white women than has North Carolina. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS There seems to be no doubt but that everybody and his relations are making more money now than they have ever made before, but where is all or even a part of it. We make the money alright, but it goes for those $15 shoes that cost the factory ninety eight cents per pair to turn out, which means Mr. Profiteer has practically all of the money. Because you have a small bank balance to your credit and a fairly prosperous business do not get it into your head that you have the world by the tail with a down pull as persons just as prosperous and perhaps more so have subsequently died in the poor house or filled a pauper's grave. A little money like a little education is a dangerous article and in both instances we speak from personal experience. At a public meeting Mrs. A. R. Bonner said she found the colored women indifferent about exercising the right of franchise. Perfectly natural as this voting is a new thing for all women and the colored women see none of them sharing in any of the emoluments of the results of voting, hence their indifference. With such women as Mrs. Bonner on the job they will soon be educated up to the point. In killing the police commissioner's bill another form of municipal graft in Seattle was strangled to death by the attending physician, who had been designated to watch over its birth. Of course the more grafting commissioners we have the longer the politicians can keep themselves in office. Some one has declared that should Uncle Sam conquer Mexico it would ailienate the other Latin races in South America. From what we have understood that has already been done on account of the United States citizens snubbing the South American people on account of their color. Its enough to make the blood of free America buble and boil to realize that eight Americans have been killed in Mexico since July, but come to think about it seventy odd colored Americans have been killed in the South this year. Just as the world is about to come to an end Alfred Hubbard, a nineteen year old Seattle lad, makes a discovery that promises to revolutionize the world, and thus is the poor man always getting it in the neck. Prior to the passing of John Barleycorn it was the men that went home at night lugging a load, but now its the women and the U. S. Supreme Court has continued the modus procedure. Harding of Ohio seems to be willing that the presidency seek him and he has sent his friends out to inform the presidential ghost where he may be found. Another version of the office seeking the man. France says the League of Nations is dead and the peace pact badly wounded. Unless the crossing of the t's and the dotting of the i's are permitted, I'll say the whole dam family is dead. The demand for apartments is not so acute in Seattle as it was and already the "rent hog" is showing signs of wanting to become a hedge hog. Continued friendship with the U. S. A. on the part of the Mexican government means continued opportunities for the Mexican bandits. Half of the miners of this state are still on a strike. Like the caif, they will learn the difference when they go to suck. The end of the world may be practically on us, but whether it is or is not we have little or no faith in these darn prophets A profiteer is a Bolshevist, a Red and an anarchist and deportation should be his or her portion. That police officer may have been trying to trap the other fellow, but in doing so, he got most beautifully traped himself. So long as we have a Democratic Administration in this country just so long will we have trouble with Mexico. Old Booze is dead our president to the contrary notwithstanding. Christmas comes but once a year and the publisher should get his share. JAPANESE SHIPPING The capacity of Japanese shipyards for 1720 is estimated to be 1,300,000 tons. Official investigations indicate a construction demand of 800,000 tons, 100,000 more than this year. Assuming the price of tonnage to be 300 yen, this would require a capital investment of 240,000,000 yen by shipping interests. Only a bright future for Japanese shipping would justify such an investment.Japan Advertiser. 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 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. --- quired fifty-five minutes from the time we left Everett for him to draw up in front of my home in Seattle, and, barring wear and tear of the car, the trip had cost me no more than if I had gone alone by train. I smiled at him as I crawled out of the car and that night he worked me for an extra dollar and I did not scold. Of course "that boy of yours" is just as cute as "that boy of mine," but yours is yours and mine is mine and yours is cute to you and mine to me, and in this I have said a whole mouthful. * * * The prophecied ending of the world the ensuing week may have prompted me to go to church last Sunday evening, that I might be counted among that unnumbered host that John saw in a vision, but be that as it will or may, I found myself sitting in the first A. M. E. Church fifteen minutes before the services began. I hardly expected the pastor to preach on the prophecied ending of the world, and he verily did not, but he came so close to it that it made me feel very uncomfortable and yet I did not nor do I yet take any stock in this end of the world talk, the Bible to the contrary notwithstanding. As the pastor told of the visions of John and what a frowning God has in store for this old world some day, I said to myself, the God that the Rev. Graham has so eloquently depicted in his sermon is by no means the God that I had pictured in mind, and it seemed to me that the God that John saw in the vision was a God of war rather than a God of love and as a God of war he was preparing to meet the men and women of this world on the field of battle rather than with open arms. No, it is not my intention to drift into any controversy with John, the revelator, with the teachings of the Bible nor with the theologians, but I do not accept this God of destruction theory that I frequently hear from, often eloquent and learned, divines in the pulpit. * * * I was at a public meeting last Tuesday evening, which was not se well attended, but so many of those present came by me and shoved two dollars into my hand, for their next year's subscription, that it made me feel so good that night that I came down town the next day all puffed up and was almost tempted to publish in this issue of Cayton's Weekly. "I've got the world by the tail." To feel that your efforts in the behalf of one or many are appreciated gives you an inspiration beyond human conception. The two dollars one pays for a publication to be sent to his or her address for one year hardly covers the cost of the white paper on which it is printed. A class publication of the nature of Cayton's Weekly makes no headway in the commercial world, hence at best it is hardly a bread and butter proposition, yet they must be published. Then the only wholesome reward arising from them is the appreciation from those in whose interest they are published. *** At the rededicatory services at Grace Presbyterion Church the afternoon program was one of helpful uplift and I am surely glad I was there and heard it all. The history of Grace Church by Dr. Forbes was so interesting that I regretted that he did not prolong it, then the sermon of Rev. Van der Las was a perfect gem. I had often heard about "much in little" and in his sermon I realized what I had often heard about. If the Rev. Barber arranged that program then he is to be congratulated because he aranged it with an eye single to talent and tactfulness but of this program I have one criticism and that is, there was no colored speaker. Not long since I had occasion to criticise a public political meeting for a like short coming, but subsequently learned that the mistake was not intentional, but an unavoidable circumstance, and the same may be true of Rev. Barber's program. The musical numbers were high class in the ex- treme and addd much to the pleasantness of the occasion. *** "Well I know of no paper that I more thoroughly read than Cayton's Weekly, and I always enjoy it, but some times you get lazy and fail to put the work on it that you for the most part do, and then its not so good, "said Judge Wilson R. Gay one day this week, whom I met on the street. He was feeling good and and stopped and talked with me for a few minutes of by-gone days. No, not lazy, old man, but hungry, is the cause of the Weekly occasionally failing below the standard. Instead of working to turn out readable stuff I am rustling for hog and hominy for seven dependents and I am so tired at night that instead ow writing good stuff I resort to my editorial shears. Writing under adverse circumstances is not the easiest thing that I have done in my long and more or less eventful life. But before Bill Gay left me he told me a story at which I laughed heartily, because he is a good story teller, but it did not reach my funny ball. In other words I was dense. That evening on my way home in a street car I got to thinking of Gay's story and what it meant and it all came to me and I suddenly roared out loud with laughter, so much so that a nervous lady, who sat by me, screamed and got away from me in double quick time. I am inclined to think, that those present adjudged me insane, but I laughed on and was unable to restrain myself. *** This thing of attending Church last sunday was quite a revelation to me and some day I mean to go again. I enjoyed almost beyond description a number of songs my father loved to sing when he was in his prime, and, believe me, that has been a long time ago. Those songs may not have the class to them as do the songs that are sung in the churches today, but what they like in class they make up in melody. Here was an opportunity for me to join in the song service and my tennor sounded so good to me that at the conclusion of the hymn I imagined that I had sung a tennor solo for the edification of the audience. But I am going to suggest to Rev. Graham that he put his song service on before preaching services and it will be the means of getting his audience into the pewes before he begins his services.
