Dispute Over Price Of Cotton Between Tenants and Planters. Two Views Of "Federated Union." NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, makes public the following letter concerning the actions of the current riot of Atlanta, showing cotton prices, not Negro insurrection, as the cause of the trouble. The correspondent, whose standing the association vouches for, writes: "The whole trouble, as I understand it, started because a Mr. Bruton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, sampled by sixty or seventy colored samples from the white planters relative to the male price of cotton. The ruler is that the planters had organized to settle twenty-five cents basis, when in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Bruton to reappear them. A full statement of the charges appears in some of the Christian I have sent. "This Federated Union of America is camouflaged. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters. The propaganda published in the press about, Negroes being armed to kill all white people and take their farms from them, was a misdirection to be given a new thought." The clipping referred to is from the Memphis, Teen, Commercial Appeal, of Friday morning, October 3. According to U. S. Bratton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Nervous, therein" quitted, his clients accused of "inciting" them, for them to obtain itemized statements or accounts or in fact to obtain statements at all, and that the manager was preparing to ship their option, they being share croppers and having a half interest therein, off with them to sell their half of the crop, pay up their accounts. As we were informed, there were some 68 or 70 of these share croppers who desired to represent them. If it's a crime to represent people in an effort to make honest settlement there, then he has come a country where we have been spending our money and the lives of our hosts to make the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means. (By Annotated Nerio Press) ELAIN; Ark, Oct. 15—This little town is breathing easier than at any time since race disturbances of a serious nature began without warning. The relieved feeling was due largely to the fact that all reports from districts where Federal soldiers and civilian troops have been indicted of a reassuring nature. Generally the people here believed the worst of the trouble was over. However, officials were emphatic in their assertions that there would be no relaxation of emergency measures, so that soldiers can indicate that the Camp Pike would be withdrawn soon. The authorities' expected to obtain additional information regarding the alleged banding of Negroes in this locality through further questioning to day of Ed Hickes, said to have been one of the leaders of the organization known as "The Progressive Farmers" and Household Union of America, the Negro Business League. Hickes, who is under arrest, is said to have admitted he was president of the organization. Other Negroes in custody are said to have declared that Ed Baker, another Negro under arrest, was involved. Through this organization, officials say, the Negroes in this locality were banded together for, an uprising. Among the careers brooklyn in his patrols is a printed copy of what pursuits to be "The United States Constitution and By-Laws of the Progressive Farmers" (the Nrao Business League). The object of the "union" was stated in the pamphlet, he shall be to advance the interests of the Negro intellectually, and to make him a better citizen and a better farmer. The constitution authorizes "pass words, dew words, scrips and signs," which he changed every day, and proclaimed the laws and regulations for disclosing the secrets. Any excluded member was not to be allowed to rejoin "with ninety-six years." The Negro in custody, who was asked by officers as to the extent of the organization's membership, said he was there there was 2500 and probably 5000. Army officers estimated today that the number of Negroes that had massed through their hands exceeded 600, about 150 still being in custody, the evidence of good character. Among those detained are four women. Army officers planned to resume their search for hidden fire arms, of which a large quantity has been collected. Many homes have been search. The number of Negroes known to have been killed by soldiers and sometimes stood at fourteen, but off- side believe the total number of dead down are five dead and six wounded.

Says Only Aim Is To Organize Negroes With Political Party That Will Give Him A Square Deal Protecting his influence of any wounded soldier, Says Only Aim Is To Organize Negroes With Political Party That Will Give Him A Square Deal Protecting his influence of any wounded soldier, Says Only Aim Is To Organize Negroes With Political Party That Will Give Him A Square Deal He stated that it was his goal to help the Negro in this crisis is why he left New York, as a tour to organize with a political party that would give him a political opportunity "Organization on the part of the Negro," said Whitman, "is the logical solution of the Race problem as we have in this country. Race riots are caused by economic conditions. If the Negro was organized with the rest of the world, the world, he would be one of them, such, their cause would be his cause. "I am for harmony between the races. My politics is the socialist. The Socialist Party is the nearest to my mind that stands for the brotherhood of man. In New York, many young Colored men belong to the Socialist Party. The Negro is for the Black insularism. The Socialist last Fall. Dr. Frazier Miller ran for Congress on the ticket." When asked if he was a member of the I. W. W. Whitman stated that he was a "passive" member, in that he onedermy to learn of their work. He decided that he was in the employ of the local government and said he was pleased to be a member of the party, his expenses being paid by the local organization in cities or other places where he was engaged. The Argus reporter questioned him closely about his activities during the past few months. In answer, Whitrun said, "I left New York in August, or my youth, spending in the laureate community of eighth cities. I was engaged every night for a week at Teal-Ohio, Ohio. My audiences were mixed, white and colored. I was engaged to come to St. Louis by the Local Communist Labor Party, with headquarters in the city of New York. The editor of The Molding Pot is the head of his arrest, he went to the hall to hear Hoe N. Baldwin speak, and as for the literature found in his possession, it was taken from The Crisis magazine. It was nothing new, he knew, but as he has been in 14 years, he received his education at Fisk University and at New York City College. NATIONAL BAPTIST MINISTERS AT ST. PAUL BAPT. CHURCH The Young Licensed National Baptist Ministers will hold a convention, the first time in the history of the churches. Mr. Robert Carson, chairman of the concession, has been traveling in the different states in order to make this meeting a great success. We feel that the hour has come so we as young ministers need to put ourselves before the people. Some of us have been to France, have fought and preached on the battlefield, some we preached at the camps in the United States, and seem as if we have been forgiven. We are meeting for the purpose of uplifting fallen humanity. Jesus says, "Love ye one another," and we are trying to stand together in unity, for where there is unity there is strength. We are standing with open hearts and strong hands, extending an invitation to everyone Christian and good man. We are asking you to come. We believe that we must prepare ourselves to stand in the shoes of the old ministers who will pave away some day. They will have none of our young ministers to fulfill the work of the Master. We are meeting in conference with the intention of the churches. We are looking for the minister driven officers of the Sunday schools and B. Y. P. U. We are asking the older pastors in the city and throughout the country to come and take part with us. The parade will begin at 7 o'clock at Carrion and Morrow. We ask the churches to be with us in the parade with their hammers. We are hoping to elect the following named ministers as officers of the convention: Rev. Robert Carlson, chairman; Rev. J. M. Smith, secretary; state of Michigan; Rev. Jones, Arkansas; Rev. Williams, Tennessee; Rev. Long, Texas. Delegates meet at 2874 Morgan Street. Spiritual Christian Union Church The Field of the Fourteenth Anniversary of the Spiritual Christian 1727 Lawton avenue will be held Friday, the 14th of December.

Activities In St. Louis Will End Thursday, Oct. 28 Now that demobilization is complete, the soldier problem diminished, which was so acute during war time, and that the country has returned to peace time conditions in most communities, in one of its recent orders the War Department ruled that the need for these welfare organizations whose purpose is to provide training with hospitality and furnish some entertainment for the soldier on pass in the communities and which have heretofore functioned directly under the War Department for these purposes, no longer exists, and that they should suspend their activities as war agencies not later than October 31st of War Camp Community Service being held in the above order. We shall therefore close our activities with the following programs and entertainments: Thursday, October 16th, 8 to 1 P.M., Pyritian Temple, 3137 Pine street, special entertainment and dance. Admission to all except soldiers will be furnished on application at the W. C. C. S. Center, 3137 Pine street. Tuesday P. M., October 21st, at 8 o'clock at Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church, Garrison and Lucius avenue, Musicale and Banquet. This program will consist of a great variety of instrumental and vocal numbers. A seven-place orchestra and a specially arranged band will form. Admission free. The public cordially invited. Thursday P. M., October 23rd, from 8 to 1 P. M. The closing entertainment and dancee at Louisiana Hall, Vanderventer and W. Belle Place. Admission will be by card except in case cards will be distributed during the musical T.P. M. October 21st, at the Metropolitan Church. WAR CAMP INTRODUC TION IN ST. LOUIS When War Camp Community, Serrie Ice was introduced in St. Louis last July, it contemplated activities only among the women and headquarters sent Dr. Mary P. Waring, of Chicago, July 25th, headquarters became interested in expanding the work to serve the men of this city and appointed Mp. Geo. H. W. Bullock, of Philadelphia, and recently an Army Y. M. C. A. secretary here, as director of colored work, with a view to establishing activities for all the city. He has encountered great difficulty in finding a suitable building in the city, and the Budget is used for that purpose to be held back until this month and in view of the order to close as "War Champ," October 31st, it will be impossible to do very much. The closing of the W. C. S. C. as a war agency does not necessarily close the kind of activities which it has begun or contempled. There has been organized already Community Service organizations which in New York City which will take up W. C. C. S. activities where the latter ends. The difference between the two will be that W. C. C. S. was an adject of the War Department and subject to the orders of that department, whereas the Community Services incorporated will be a strictly community organization whose policy is from which it will of course require its support. A more detailed information on this point may be had through the headquarters at 3127 Pine street. Community Service Incorporated ought to be very much more desirable than W. C. C. S. in that it is something to which the people of any community may point as being their own, and the people of W. C. C. S. would cities throughout the east and south have already begun this work and are succeeding admirably and there is no reason why the people of St. Louis should not have the same work that these cities of the east have. So let us have it by making application for it at once. A. M. E. Annual Conference Here The sixty-fifth edition of the Missouri Annual Conference opened Wednesday, Oct. 16, at St. James A. M. E.

YOUNG MAN WHO CONFESSED ROBBERY AQUITTED BY JURY SAYES HE MADE CONFESSION BE CAUSE HE WAS MISTREATED BY OFFICERS AND FEARED BODILY HARM. A jury in Judan Caresche's Court sentenced Charles Clay of a charge of harrassing officers after 45 minutes deliberation. Thunderous raging of last week. Clay was charged with stealing a watch and chain belonging to Whitney Adams, of 4233-a N. Market street, on the 24th day of May. It appeared from the testimony that Clay's father and voluntarily carried himself and brother to the police because that the boy might be questioned, questioned again, and that the police had turned them loose, after four hours of investigation, having found nothing on which to hold them. Two days later, Special Officers Rodgers and Demisy arrested Clay and his brother at their place of employment and carried them to the police because the officers claimed to have gotten from Clay to the fact that he had taken in the watch and had thrown it in a toilet at his home on Labadie avenue. Clay charges that 'the officers mistreated him and that he was afraid they would do him bodily harm and made the admission to keep them from beating him with his mother and a large number of wounded officers who took him to his home and forced him to strip off his clothing and go into the vault and dip out three tabs full of fecal matter therein and groove in the rest of it with his hands in effort to find the watch. They charge that the officers kept him in the vault and that he was down there as minister and that he both dipped up the matter and fell in it with his hands. The watch was never found, although Clay's father cleaned it out and washed it with water, fading nothing but smallumps of coal and a tin can. The jury evidently believed Clay's story of the matter and disregarding the confession acquitted him of the crime. Clay is a young boy under 18 years of age and the jury was unwilling to place the stigma of crime on him on such dummy testimony he was represented by Attorney Gee L. Vaughn. R. F. WILLIAMS GETS RED CROSS MEDA R. E. Williams 424 W.

CURTIS DIAMONDS ARE RETURNED MYSTERIOUSLY Jewels Hunn On Detective's Door-Knob, Sunday Night Dr. Hancock And Frank Mann Make Statements Refuting Confession In Auto Case The diamond ring and stud which were taken from Dr. W. P. Curtis, at midnight July 23, were mysteriously returned in romantic fashion last Sunday night. The jewels were found in the box with a note, tied to the door knob of Detective Ira Cooper, about 10 p. m. The note read: "Mr. Cooper—bought these articles in good faith Now I find others are being accused and suffering, so I will send them to you. Your friend. The thing up the door Dr. Curtis lost a watch and his besides the ring and pin. The watch was located by Cooper in a pawnshop and he was tracing the thieves. One of the diamonds had been removed from the pin and was loose in a piece of paper. Dr. Curtis was notified and the diamonds were turned over to him Monday morning. Dr. Curtis' automobile was stolen from in front of his home Monday at 1 p.m. but was found four hours later implicated in the stealing of any car, as charged in the confession of Cy Williams. Mann, also states he had nothing to do with the sale of the car to Dr. C. Hancock. He states he purchased a Jacket in 1917 from a friend of his. Mann, also states he the latter proved to be a stolen car. In the statement Mann says, "I never saw Dr. Curtis' diamonds and know nothing about them. The only charge against me is failure to notify the Secretary of State within six days after I bought Food. This has only went into effect August 3, and I was not aware of it." Hancock Shaw's Bill of Sale for 8750 Bald for Bald. Dr. Clifford A. Hancock, who was charged in the Williams' confessor with paying $50 for a stolen Buck showed the reporter a bill of sale for $250 for the car, purchased from a white man named Thos. J. Adkita, who was named the driver, and a nurse. The address was later found to be that of a driver. The purchase was made May 29, with (V. J. Gates, notary, and Dr. W. T. Tyler, witness). He says he purchased the car in good faith and was not aware of any crookness. As to the robbery of Dr. Curtis, he was not involved, and was only questioned regarding his possession of diamonds. This was not considered an arrest. Mann and Hancock cars are being held by the police authorities.

CASES AGAINST COLORED MEN EXAGGERATED Investigation Shows Only Four Cases Out Of Daily Press Reports Of Thirty-Four Colored Men Involved It will be interesting to our readers to note, that the reports in the daily papers regarding the recent plot in Omaha charged that the cause of the poisoning was due to the report that 24 cases assault upon some of that city had been charged to the Negroes. The article below is taken from The Omaha Monitor edited by Rev J. A. Williams pastor of St. Philips Episcopal Church and shows that most of the crimes were committed by white men. From The Omaha Monitor OMAHA, Neb. - County Attorney Shewald gave out a statement Saturday reviewing the present status of every alleged case of assault upon women in angus county against the police of which complaints have been filed. Four Negroes and thirteen white men are now awaiting trial in district court on such charges. Seven are held in jail awaiting trial on a charge of attempted assault. Those are Joseph O'Hara, Thomas Sandy Fox, Loren Lee Johnson, Jaguar Jenkins, Hilda Brown, all white and badger King Negro. Three have been released on bonds ranging from $2,000 up, pending trial for attempted assault. They are Amos Gorman, Harry Boyd and Joe Naunti, all white. William Livingstone, white, Frank Negro, Negro; Robert Winter, white, and Jerry Bonds were in jail, awaiting trial for assault. Joe Baskove, white, charged with assault, is out on bond. Alfred Timmery, white, was found not guilty by a jury, and Jerry Bonds was sentenced from two to fifteen years in the penitentiary. There are all of the assault cases against with Mr. Scottson but no complaints. All pending cases were to have been pressed for trial in the opening term of district court his fall. FIRST HAND VERSION OF THE CAUSE OMAHA BIOTING Nebraska is a business man of at least 60 years, gives the real reason and only living causes of the Omaha co. a few days ago in a letter to the chair man of the Executive Committee of the local Board of Trustees. She charges that the new owners led by the Omaha Bros. brought about the riot setting in concert with a political fact in that city. "The Jewell charges that the forces now controlling the city government are in favor of a closed town and better moral conditions and that they are opposed by the faction which has been voted out by the citizens of Omaha which more than mere moral conditions. She accuses that the Negro has downsized the scouts in the matter and that the only one has made minor charges of crime on the part of the Negroes in order to discredit the present administration which was elected by the aid of recent analysis conducted outside the latter show. 2011 St. Omaha Neb. Oct. 6 1919 Dear Mr. Vaughn I received your letter of a few days ago, asking for information regarding the recent horrible happenings here, have always been so tremendously shocking, that this terrible exhibition of our lives as a distinct shock to us. If I did not understand so well the contributing causes leading up to it, I am sure I should be heart broken. Under all of this is a spiritual fight the "outs" advocating an open town with the "Omaha Bee" to the mouth against the "Nevro as the goat" under the "Under the cover" an emailing you some new papers and ephephes, after reading much I am sure you will clearly understand the situation. Our local association now numbering 1000 members has been active in providing alibis for the curious nor trained on race bait, maintaining that these are pure and simple for inclusion last month a Nevro named Williams was positively identified by four different women as their aballant, and yet through our grievance committee we were able to produce pay checks witnesses who pointed to the satisfactory court. Attorney that the man accused of the crime Oedar Rapids, l, on all the day when he was supposed to have committed these crimes and so he was freed of the charge. Nobody believes Agnes Loebach a story of the crime while not authoritatively stated it is rumored that she has made a written account of her relations with the man involved covering a period of several months.

National Race Congress specialist The Arts WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11. The National Race Congress, which has been in session here during the week, closed last night, going on record advocating the unrestricted ballot in the hands of every American citizen, the protection of all under the law, and wiping out of Jim Crowism. There were present representative men and women from 21 states, and much interest was manifested by them. All sessions were held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church of which the Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman is pastor. The opening sermon was preached last Monday night by the Rev. E. A. P. Cheek, of Newark, N. J., National Chaplain and then followed the opening sermon by Dr. W. H. Jernagin, D.

Church, made the opening remarks setting forth the work of the Congress, advocating the abolition of " Jim-Crowism," the use of the ballot, proper treatment of the race, and setting forth the kind of leadership needed. He said that the race would not follow the hand-selected reader, but would take unto itself the right to select the leaders, and would cast aside those selected, because they could be used as a rubber-stamp. He wanted real men, fearless men, who would contend for the rights of the race on all occasions, and would not sell out. He deplored the recent race riots, and declared they were conducted by the lawless element, and that the law abiding element of both races should get together, and that some action be taken by them to ward minimizing such dangers in the future. The feature of the day was the annual address by Dr. W. H. Jenkins of Washington, who touched every phase of the work done and to be outlined a preface to the people.

The first prize was awarded to Miss Emma Mae Edwards, of Summer High School, the second prize to Miss Lillian Johnson, of the Y. W. C. A., whose costume would have done justice to any Parisian Shop.

At this time in the world's history, mob violence is espesialy dangerous and perigrable.

In this crucial hour, it is our duty in common with others to test our courage, patience, self-realism, soberness of thought temperateness, in speech, and considerateness for the rights of all, despite temptation to do otherwise. In matters of reprisal we must always be found on the side of law and order. THE NEGRO PROBLEM (London Morning Post, England) The Negro problem is now unpleasantly to the fore again in the United States. Fifty years ago, when Charles Elliot Norton, the famous Harvard prof fessor, was on a visit to this country, he heard the same question at a London dinner party. "Lord Russell," he relates, "quoted the best saying of Carlyle's which I have ever heard." The difference between the North and the South in relation to the Negro is just this: "The South says to the Negro "God Bless You! and be a slave," and the North says, "God damn you! and be free." WHO WILL POINT THE WAY? (Wilmington, Del., Star) The number of finely educated able and thoroughly admirable Negroes is growing. Whether so much can be said for the white race in view of daily developments, is a question. Yet the Negro like the Indian, is still in this country, after half a century of freedom, an unassimilable element. It is a pity that America has not proved for the black man a land of promise, but if he himself can suggest a way to his own happiness there are thousands of white men and women who will be eager to aid him to take it, just as thousands, both black and white, are today working at places like Hampton and Tuskegee to find that way. President Wilson's illness, very ap- propriately, brought forth a universal plea for prayer for his recovery. This nation was founded by God-fearing mei the silver dollar bears the motto: "In God We Trust;" the House of Representatives and the United States Senate are daily opened by prayer; the Supreme Court accepts the principles of Holy Writ, and the President kisses the Bible in taking his oath of office. In the form of Christianity, our nation is a wonder; in the practice of it, she is "weighed in the balance and found wanting." In the presence of all great calamities, God is called upon. Too often is like the "Fireman's Hymn:" "When there is fire and danger is nigh. "Ged and the freman," is the peo plea cry; When the fire is over, and all things are righted God is forgotten, and the fireman slighted." If there ever was a time when the people of our nation should get down on bended knees, that time is now. The wrath of God is fast approaching, and the only salvation is confession of sins of omission and commission and being placed again on probation. Let us pray, forsooth, let us pray that President Wilson will fully recover; that speak out against the wrongs of humanity at home; That Congress will get the serve to enforce the Constitution or cut rep That national lawmakers will not be permitted to defy the saw in the face of the public and go unchallenged or unpunished; That Railroad administration will not tolerate American citizens riding in cars of delapidation and fifth That universal and compulsory education may drive out the demon of ignorance; That courts of real justice may take the place of the gun, the torch and the rope; That honor and respect be accorded to ALL women, with emphasis on MILITI; That industrial opportunity everywhere be based strictly on merit and worth; That the American Legion may be a legion of true manhood rights; That petty politics and professional political bargaining may be relabeled to the deserved solution; That the Associated Press, and any similar organization or newspapers, will discontinue coloring up their news where our group is affected; That the terms Democracy, Liberty, Freedom, Justice, Opportunity and Manhood Rights will mean what they seem to mean, and have the same meaning in our country as they do abroad. "LET US PRAY." "THE WHITE WOMAN" Senator John Sharp Williams, and his long but slowly decreasing list of benevolent friends, insists that "The White Woman,"...the protection of her purity and honor...is at the bottom of all lynchings(2) Without argument as to the falsity of this statement, let us consider this, much discussed creature of American life. One of the amazing facts concerning "The White Woman" is this: She never publicly speaks of her own fears of the Negro. Her spokesman is nearly always a rabid, shallow, conceived, hyporitical specimen of humanity who yells "Rape" in the day time, but pursues questionable pathways at night All other artificial and perfectly sily means of throwing fear into the people having miserably failed, the last stand is taken with the damnable bugaboo of "Social Equality" and "The White Woman." Like all the others it will soon reach its chinny, and the sensible American people will spurn with indignation the belly of it. It would be interesting, most interesting indeed, to hear "The White Woman" speak for herself. Could she not be trusted to tell the truth about the heater? Would she not admit that the Colored people of America, as a whole are the most faithful, kindhearted, industrious, trustful people on earth? Would "The. White Woman" not tell her that a "black woman" cared and watched for her in early life "as an angel from heaven"; that there were always Negro men servants about the house. "LET US PRAY" and she never had anything to fear from them; that in traveling alone, or otherwise, the Colored railroad men have always treated her with utmost consideration and respect; that in many and divers ways she has come in contact with hundreds and hundreds of Colored people, and she has the first time to see one who has been forward, officious or obnoxious? And then, would she say that there are many times, when she is left at home at night with no one but the children and the Colored servants, there is no fear; but there is that marvelous intuition that her noble, superior companion is endeavoring to meet in a clandestine way someone from that great dark Race that "defiles" and arouses "nighty fear." Would "The White Woman" say these things if she spoke for herself? President Opposed To Suppression Of Radical Newspapers President Opposed To Suppression Of Radical Newspapers By Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8.—According to Hugh W. Roberts, President Wilson has put the soft pedal on the efforts of individual members of Congress to punish or suppress the publishers of radical Negro periodicals in the United States. 'He says: "Sometime ago, as is recalled, Representative Byrnes of South Carolina proceeded in a speech before the House against the Menace and the Messenger. Subsequently he took his complaint to the Attorney General. His argument was to the effect that the publications were radical in the extreme, and were dangerous in their tendency to renew bloody outbreaks between the white and black races. Later, Representative McDuffie of the First Alabama district, incensed by the contents of an issue of the Messenger, interviewed the Postmaster General in an effort to secure the suppression of that periodical. He pointed out a cartoon representing a Negro driving an automobile through masses of fleeing whites, the Negro driving and shooting into the frantic crowds. Men falling were soldiers bearing service stripes. He pointed out editorials in which the editor congratulated the Negroes for their successful opposition to mobs in Washington and Chicago. He also pointed out a paragraph in which it was said that in certain emergencies 'a bullet is far more efficacious than a thousand prayers.' Mr. Burleson agreed with Mr. McDuffie that the publications were inflammatory. Regarding the interview the Alabama member said: "The Postmaster General told me that he had been considering and was still considering the advisability of denying the mails to the Messenger and Menace. He stated that the Attorney General was also giving thought to the subject. He then declared that the President had suggested that no such action be taken at the present time. It is evidently another case of 'watchful waiting'. The Postmaster General was entirely sympathetic. For he feels, of course, just as all other southern men feel. "From the Postmaster General I went to the department of justice, and interviewed Mr. Lamar, who incidentally is an Alabamian. Mr. Lamar stated that the department was giving the Negro periodicals earnest consideration. He stated that were the department to proceed against the publications they would in all probability ground that they were simply fighting against the man every man is opposed to lynching. Mr. Lamar thought that the publishers of the papers could arouse a great deal of sympathy throughout the North." Mr. McDuffie withheld a statement setting forth his opinion as to why the President suggested a postponement of action against the Negro radical; in all probability, however, the President was moved through fear of the "unrest" which prevails everywhere in the United-States. It was probably his opinion that it would be wiser to suffer the danger of such publications precipitating other plots throughout the United States than to force the radical Negro radical to the North into the ranks of rebellion policemen, striking labor, pro-German and satirist, sleepsless W. W. extreme socialists and professional anarchists. Due to the danger of sovietism, boisevism and actual revolution in the United States, the President, as indicated, is moved through desire to compose the discordant elements rather than crush them with an iron hand. There are many members of Congress who believe the President on the proper track. There are others who compare his course in the present emergency to his course in dealing with Mexico, a course apparently characterized by a lack of "punch" and aggressiveness in general. BUSINESS LEAGUE ORGANIZED IN INSPRINGFIELD, ILINOIS SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Oct. 17—Local representative, Colored citizens, organized a branch of the Negro Business Men's League at a meeting held in the Cooperative Educational Center at 12th and Monroe streets.

These reports are devoted to suit the informer and in the Negro life is given the public through the knows that the odds are against the Negro labors and endeavors to become use many handicaps. Therefore, justice is give the Negro the benefit of the statements against him in glaring to the papers. We have watched with a deal of interest the activities of the officials of the United States Government in their effort to suppress a certain wing of the Socialist Party, the I. W. W., and the plotters against the peace and welfare of this nation. We understand that so zealous are these officers in suppressing any movement that tends to undermine this democratic government, that even raids are made on the meeting places where these groups gather. As to whether such actions are right or wrong, we are not discussing, but we do think that governmental authority should extend a little further. We would direct attention to the mob spirit and lynchings that are rife in the land. If there is anything that is a menace to good government, it is the mob-lynch spirit. Why is it that the government can't take a hand in running down THESE murderers and defenders of the law and order? Expose the criminal records of the two classes during the past thirty years; put to the credit of the mob-lynchies over three thousand lives and, to the credit of the Socialist I W. W., whatever may be traced to their door, then draw your conclusion. It does not require a seer to see the growing defiance of mob lynch-law in this country. The recent attack upon Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Austin, Tex.; and it the hanging by a mob of his Hon. Mayor Smith of Chicago, is conclusive evidence that he who runs may read, that mob violence has a strong hold upon this country. Through all this the local authorities have either been unable or indifferent to the enforcement of law and order. Yet, we do not recall a single instance where the United States Government has made any effort whatever, to suppress this form of lawlessness, nor assisted in the prosecution of a single case as an aftermath of such outrages. As an excuse for non interference, governmental officials have dodged behind "State Rights," but their recent activities in hunting down another class of so-called criminals, show that they can take up any case they wish to in any state they choose. We have a feeling that because mob violence has generally been directed against the Negro, is why this government has always found its arms too short to reach the case. We are watching with a deal of interest the present activities on the part of Government officials in suppressing what they term as "dangerous agitation" on the part of certain class of people. When we consider the Big things that have been overlooked or winked at, it looks like a case of "straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel." HE WHO RUNS MAY READ Negroes and Asiatic. If this been given wide publicity that assaults and attempted assault by Negroes upon white women, and girls had so inflamed the public mind that summary cognance was invovable. It is true that these have been many reports in the press of such crimes, some of which which can be easily found to be grumbling or unjustified. The report of George Attorney Shotwell on the status of assault cases which was given to the press last Saturday throws a rather stifling and unsported light upon the situation, which should have a sobering effect upon those who are disposed to believe that Negroes are chief offenders in the commission of this heinous crime. It is a matter of record that there are now awaiting trial in district court seventeen persons held for this crime. Of this number FOI R are Negroes and THURTEEN are WHITE MEN! One, a white man, A Fred J. Ramsey, who was accused of attempted assault upon a sixteen year old colored girl, was found not guilty by a jury, and Derry Dennis, a Negro, is serving a term in the penitentiary for attempted assault upon a young white woman. No Negro accused of this crime has been admitted to bail, and only three white men accused of attempted assault have been released under heavy bonds. From Omaha Monitor. The above editorial, with a statement of this kind based upon the records of the county attorney's office, should change, the minds of some of the editors of the daily newspapers, as well as some of the correspondents of the Associated Press. These two agencies have been charged with being the "Negro's worst enemy." Of course we know that editors and news gatherers are human like the rest of us and as such it is hard for them not to write their prejudices in the news or editorials. Yet, because of their relations to the public and because of the influence of news items upon the public mind, we do feel that a deal more care should be taken in reporting news stories concerning the Negro. As a general rule, editors are well informed, and pretty good judges of human nature. Surely they have learned by this time that reports given the press about the Negro in most cases tell about his connection with some crime. These reports are also exaggerated and colored to suit the informer and in that way only one side of the Negro life is given the public through the daily press. Every editor knows that the odds are against the Negro in this country, and that his laborers and endeavors to become useful citizens is matched with many handjews. Therefore, justice and fairness would suggest to give the Negro the benefit of the doubt before making damaging statements against him in glaring headlines on the front page of the papers. SENTENCED TO THE PEN IN 30 MINUTES CAMDEN, N. J., Oct. 15 - James Whiting, the Negro who attacked Mrs. Mary Mothy while on her way to Merchantville, N. J., was sentenced by Judge John H. Kates in a special session of the criminal court here - to a term of from 20 to 20 years at hard labor in the Stain prison at Trenton. To avoid any possibility of mob action, the court proceedings were rushed through with the greatest speed. Easily thirty minutes from the time Whiting ploughed, not guilty to the charge of criminal assault, sentence was imposed by Judge Kates. A minute labor Whiting was taken in an automobile under guard of Sheriff W. P. Cousin and four deputies and rushed to the prison at Trenton.

DEAD NEW YORK, Oct. 25—The surviving members of the old Fifteenth New York, Infantry, the New York Regiment, which was organized just when the great war threatened, which went into the federal service as the 30th Infantry, are being canvassed for funds to erect a $20,000 monument in this city to the dead of the regiment. "Commander-Major Majesty S. Marcelli of New York?" is in charge of the campaign. He said that the Memorial committee was informed in missions that the earlier unclaimed land raised from Colored people, members of the regiment, their relatives, friends and admirers. "It would be... comparatively easy" he said, "to get wealthy friends of the officers of the regiment and of the Colored race to make up the amount of the fund. But that isn't what we would like to have our own people let happen." THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 17, 1919 DEATHS of THE WEEK Mr. Winchester Robinson, 2207 Waltham street, died September 27th.

Y., Oct. 15—A demonstration, of laffness in Omaha, Nebraska, was delivered last night by Aaron L. Squiers, Republican candidate for the Supreme Court. Speaking at a series of campaign meetings three on Brooklyn, the Republican Judicial candidate scored the passivity of public officials who he declared, by their own own winked attitude have encouraged the wave of lynching outrage—which kept over the country during the past few months. "These are trying things," said Mr. Squiers, "and now more than ever it is necessary, that we should have in public office men who have the courage of their convictions, who are not afraid to take a stand for what they know to be right and to achieve to it in the face of public charges."

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 17, 1919. RELIGIOUS VIEWS OF RACE TROUBLE COLORED MINISTER SPEAKS TO WHITE METHODOIST CONFERENCE Inscored Negro Past. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 44. There is no hope for the Negro's elevation among the politicians of the country, who have used him for their own ends, and unless the church pays more attention, political corruption among the Negroes will increase, was the pointed message brought to the St. Louis annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in session in St. John's Church, by Prof. J. A. Bray, secretary of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church; Birmingham, Afa. Prof. Bray came as a fraternal delegate to present the greeting of his race to the white church from which the Negroes were separated several years ago. Prof. Bray said the only hope of the Negro is in the Christian Church. He pleaded for the white church to help the Negro lift himself above superstition and ignorance. He said there are 5,000,000 Negroes in the South who cannot read nor write. "The great white church," he said "must cultivate a more sympathetic attitude and sentiment toward the Negro." The visitor told the white preachers and laymen that there is a serious unrest among the Negroes of the South, many of them coming North thinking they can do better here. They complain the South is not giving the Negro a square deal in point of education, Prof. Bray said, and that this is one of the reasons of their migration to other places. An unfortunate sentiment abroad he said, is that the Negro cannot take an education. The church believes he said, that education will uplift the Chinese, the Mexicans and the South Sea Islanders, but that it will unfit the Negro, for life. SAYS SLAVERY WAS A LESSON. SYRACUSE, N. Y., October 14.—Unfortunately for the NEGro Race some time in the dim past, it stressed the wrong ideals and lost both the knowledge of God and the high ideals of man. Hence it sank into barbism and heathenism and in order to regain that which has been lost in order to recover itself it must pass through five processes of rebuilding and development. The declarations were made by Bishop G. L. Blackwell of Philadelphia, head of the Fifth Episcopal District of African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, in an address "Building a Race," delivered before thousands of Colored persons in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. The first process outlined by Bishop Blackwell was industrialism. This is the basic principle upon which restes the material strength of the people and through the Negro21ZddSHRD and through the Negro has had much experience in industry he must continue to study and develop along those lines. he said. No man is completely furnished who has no honest and legitimate way of earning a living. Just so no race can rise without knowing practically how to produce most of the commodities it consumes. Last, but not least, the Negro must be rebuilt by means of religious training. Slavery gave us a knowledge of the Christian religion. Perhaps it was divine providence that permitted us to come to this country and to be enslaved that we might come in contact with the highest type of religion to know the only true and living God. Lead a good consistent life. EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH Associated Negro Press. COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 14.—Development of work among Negroes of the State is regard* as the greatest immediate need of the Episcopal Church in the diocese of Mississippi, according to a statement by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, setting forth the purpose of the nation-wide campaign of the church as they concern Mississippi. "We in this State are trying to maintain our many missions," said Bishop Bratton, "our college for white girls (All Saints at Vicksburg), our industrial trial school for Negro youths at Vicksburg, our primary school for Negroes at Jackson, and other activities—for all of which we need far larger sums than in days gone by. "In addition, this great Mississippi Valley with its millions of $^{f}$ Negroer ought to have a model industrial and agricultural school under church ownership and management to supplement our State schools of like character, which cannot hope to occupy the whole field. Mississippi is the only State in which there is a majority of Negro population; all the more reason it would seem why the church should be alive to her opportunity of service and leadership. Never was there a wider field offered." Associated Negro Press. ATLANTA, Ga., October 14.—Never in the history of the country has a United States Senator been given such a severe drubbing at the hands of a Southern white citizen as. Senator John Sharpe Williams received from the Rev. C, B. Wilmer, rector of the St. Luke's Episcopal Church, this city. Rev. Wilmer fondoubtedly shows, not only great intelligence but great courage in his statement to the Associated Negro Press, which says! The whole world seems to be like a volcano which may erupt at any moment and bring universal destruction. It there ever was a time in the history of the human race when only words of truth and soberness should be spoken that moment is now. If ever there was a time when we needed to know what forces are really effective to stamp out rebellion and crime, it is now. It is no time for funniture to be abroad. One must thereu fore deplore the reported utterances of Senator William of Mississippi, to the effect that the 'protection of women transcends all law, human and divine.' It is within bounds to say that that is as wild and incoherent a statement as ever proceeded from a madhouse. To assume that the 'understrained orgy of revenge and passion is going to protect anybody or anything is crazy; to assume that we can protect anybody that ought to be protected by transcending 'divine law is blasphems. "One of the minor aspects of this debate in the senate, reported in this morning's paper, if debate it can be called, is the humiliation, every right-minded-southerner must feel over the fact that a southern man, one we are all proud of, who has been doing valient service for the League of Nations, which represents an effort to bring law and order, righteousness and peace out of the world's welter of war and slaughter, should expose himself to the deserved rebuke administered by Senator Borah. The senator from Idaho may be wrong-headed on the League of Nations, but he told the exact truth when he said that the advocacy of lynch law was sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind; that it could only end in the disintegration of the republic. This is the practical and serious aspect of the matter. So far as our situation in the South is concerned I cannot conceive of a more pernicious doctrine to spread abroad than that we can protect our women by the course recommended. Nothing so fires the southern heart as the appeal to chivalry. Nothing, accordingly, is so dangerous if misdirected. There can be no greater appeal to our sympathies than is presented by the victim of brutal crime. If it were true that we could stamp out crime by the fury of violence, that blazes the way of our redaption. But it is not true, and most awful is the appeal to all that is best in us to work the worst. Satan is disguised as an angel of light. "I challenge the statement of the senator from Mississippi, and I appeal to him as a citizen of a great republic whose mission it must be to lead the world between the extremes of autocracy and anarchy; as a member of the law-making department of government: as a man with a brilliant and trained mind, capable of tracing effects to their cause; above all as a Christian and a churchman. I submit to him and to all others the opposite proposition, viz.: That there is no protection of our women save in the maintenance of law and order and in the bringing to bear in all our problems the spirit of true religion. I say to him in all solemnity—and if he will open his mind to the truth he will be bound to believe it—that every such occurrence as that at Omaha actually imperils the safety of our homes throughout the length and breadth of the land. Every participant in a mob and every apologist for mobs is joining hands with criminals to bring about the unchecked reign of anarchy. There is no use in disguising the issue. 'If Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him.' If lawlessness, if revenge, if hatred, be our God, then follow them. Let the United States Congress adjourn and the senator from Mississippi retire to his cotton plantation. Let the Atlanta council instead of wrangling over the necessary taxes to keep our public schools going, disband, having first abolished the public schools altogether; and let the church of the Living God evaporate in smoke. Let us then all get together on the only proposition which is likely to command universal consent, viz.: That Satan, he is the God; Satan, he is the God. On the other hand, if the true Delyt ' righteousness, justice and love! if normal and spiritual forces must ultimately prevail: if St. Paul was not crazy, but on the contrary, was inspired of God, when he wrote that 'the powers that be are ordained of God,' and that he who opposes the state in its divinely authorized character of wielder of the sword of divine justice, is withstanding the ordinance of God and destined to bring the divine judgment upon himself (Roman 13)—if these things be true, then is Jehovah our God. How long halt we between two opinions? There is no compromise possible. "If ever He whom some of us worship as 'God, manifest in the flesh,' and all knowledge as the world's supreme teacher, spake truth of the most practical character it was when He said, 'We cannot cast out demons through Beelkebub the Chief, of Demons.' Not 'ye ought not,' but 'ye can not.' It will not work. There is a fanaticism in human nature. Retaliation is not limited to the breasts of mobs. It has abundant place and play in thousands of others. The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.' Evil begets evil. We must overcome evil with good. There is no other way. We of the white South have the choice today of lining up with one or the other of two movements. Either we cast God and good salute, or we make up our minds to apply seriously and intelligently all the intellectual and moral and spiritual forces to which in due whatever to progress the world has ever made, and we go back swiftly into barbarism and undo in a decade the achievements of thousands of years. We can mobilize the existing character and good will of innumerable Negro leaders in a sympathetic combination to work with us for the coming of the kingdom; or we 'au tie their hands and render them impotent, while the ignorant masses are turned over to radicals and extremists."
