PAYS RANSOM FOR BODIES OF LYNCHED SONS WHITES FORM ORGANIZATION TO PRESERVE "PURITY" OF THE RACE White Men Who Bridge the Race Line Are Terned "Traitors to the White Race." Most of Race Agitation Charged to Them. FROM THE TULSA (OKLA.) STAR. HELENA, Ark., Oct. 17.—The report that the four Johnston brothers who were outrageously murdered near Alpine, Arkansas, met灭 in a riot at the latter place is not true. The four brothers, one of whom, Dr. L. H. Johnson of Coweta, Okla., who was there visiting his other brothers, had been hunting and were peacefully retreated when they were intercepted by a white man supposed to be a friend to the Johnston boys, and told that a race riot was in progress in Alpine and advised them not to go in that direction, but to return to a point below Alpine, leave their guns to avoid suspicion, and take the train for Helena. After considerable persuasion on the part of their supposed white friend the Johnstons followed his advice, trying to avoid trouble that they knew nothing to avoid. When the train on which they were riding on route to Helena rescheduled Alpine their good white "friend" a mob aboard the Jim Crow coach and with guns drawn commanded the Johnstons to throw up their hands according to eye witnesses, and in a few seconds had handcuffed three of the boys, evidently not recognizing Dr. L. H. Johnston one of the brothers' sons out of the men, when Mr. Johnston spoke to the men, sayin' they alltened, these men are my brothers, and I want to know why you are taking them from this train. In reply one of the men said: "If you are their brother you'd better come along with them." To this Dr. Johnston retorted, "Well, I will My Associated Negro Press: BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 22—At last it is here! An organization has been formed in the South to preserve the "purity of the white race and to restrain the traitors." SOME ORGANIZATIONS have been accused with its purpose will question the fact that it has a job on its hand. One of the leading spirits in the organization is one Henry P. White, of Marlon, which would be that he has a fitting name for the ultimate purpose. The Birmingham News (daily) quotes at length on the organization and says in part: "All of these race riots have been caused by the attempts of Negro men to override the race line and to make white women the victims of their lustful passions. Unquestionably the notable outbreaks in all directions this year are due to the bad education of Negro soldiers in France and to the determination of some of them to persist in enjoying the privileges they were permitted by a low class of French women, who were more greedy of easy money than of regard for any high considration of ang sort. "But now comes a white leader from the Black Belt, where the proportion of Negro population is so great to protest against another feature of race relationship that has not originated in France, or with 'agro soldiers. He takes up boldly, but politely, the question of the violation of race lines by white men, a custom which all know has always been too general in the South. He speaks of this violation as familiar to every neighborhood. 'No! Lesser what may be all the raises of this common evil, this great New York, Oct. 11. A plea for motherhood cut out of wedlock was made at the international conference of women physicians yesterday by Dr. Ance Mouet of France. "In a country the population of which in decreasing," she said, "it is unhappy to face the rate of birth by every means, to die away with all obstacles in the protection of all children indiscriminately. "Motherhood outside of marriage must no longer be held as a disgrace are held to the girl mother must be lifted; the prejudice which makes her an object of general caution must be combat; and if irregular birth is no longer a disgrace to the child, mother must it be a dishouzer to the mother. She must find in society for herself and for her child the support which in the past was refused her." Desperting what France has done in this matter, Dr. Mouet said: "The law has assured the protection of the child born out of wedlock. First, in creating a bond of right between him and his parents when that is possible; then in assisting the mother when she is alone and without resources, and finally in taking full responsibilities for rearing the child." "THE MIRACLE MAN" Coming to the Cornet Theatre The St. Louis Argus certainly go, where upon he was also handcuffed and the four force at the points of guns to get in a waiting auto and hurriedly driven off. That night about 11 o'clock the bodies of the four brothers, riddled with bullets and mutilated with knives or other sharp instruments, were found by the roadside. They had been murdered in cold blood. The perpetrators of this growsome crime then issued a statement to the authorities of the Jocko's house, took a gun from a deputy sheriff and killed him, causing the pose to fire on the four brothers, killing all of them instantly. Mrs. Mercy Johnston, mother of the unfortunate quarite, who lived in Chicago in a home purchased for her by her son's wife, was at the time in Pine Bluff, visiting relatives. She, accompanied by relatives and friends, her heart all but breaking over the sad occurrence, went to claim the bodies of her beloved ones that she might at least pay a mother's last tribute, but rank insult was added to cry when she was compelled to pay a ransom for their dead bodies. She paid the price, however, and followed the remains to their last resting place in Little Rock. One of the boys, Leroy, had seen two years' active service in the war for democracy while serving as bugler for the 16th New York regiment. Dr. Elfhue, the dentist, was a very successful man and owned nearly half of his home town. All of the Johnstons were highly respected wherever they were known. ORGANIZATION TO RITY" OF THE RACE Line Are Termed "Traitors to the Agitation Charged to Them. wrong, it is a matter of tremendous consequence to the white race, because to look at it from no higher standpoint, it reacts fearfully upon the whites in various ways. Unquestionably it angers a large part of the Negroes, which feeling is more or less contributory to the increased tendency to strained race relations. But it reacts directly and materially in providing a large mulatto element out of which comes most of the unhappiness of the Negroes, and much of the race agitation which is injurious to both races. "But enough of the outstanding facts of a situation here in the South. Mr. White takes up the question from a standpoint of the purity of the white race. He speaks of white men, who bridge the race line as traitors to the white race, as chiefly responsible for the mongrel race which is increasing in alarming numbers." "The main purpose of Mr. White's article, however, is not to set forth facts on comments, but to devise a remedy. He puts forward the step, planned by some pioneer spirits for the formation of a 'secret fraternal and benevolent order,' the only purpose of which is to act in a practical way to help keep the white blood pure, to prevent any improper social equality with any of the Colored races. This order has been incorporated by some pioneer spirits malayi of Marion, and their program is to push it as an effective propaganda of race purity. It aims at social ostracism of all white men who recklessly sacrifice race purity. It contemplates legal enforcement of laws against all forms of misegeneration. It would begin with education of young white boys who would be graduated into the older order." COLOREU MISSIONARIES LEAVE FOR LIBERIA PHILADEPHIA, Pa. Oct. 16—A party of colored missionaries from this city will sail from New York on Friday to take up their residence permanently in Liberia. They are Dr. R. M. Sisusa who is accompanied by his wife and children; Miss Principile Bryan, Miss Della K. Killarra, Rev. D. S. Nichols and Miss Ella Hookes. They are being sent to Africa in the Foreign Missionary Board of the Baptist Church and are being accompanied by Rev. I. G. Jordan, secretary of the board, who will return to this country about January 1. The missionaries will establish missions and social centers in different parts of Liberia and conduct an active educational campaign. Dr. Sisusa came here a boy from Liberia, 14 years ago, and is a graduate in medicine. He is returning to his home country to practice medicine, where there is now only one physician among two and one half millions of Negroes. Miss Principile Bryan is a graduate dentist and will be the first of her profession to practice in Liberia. Miss Harris is a graduate of a social service training school and will book after the social center work.

These artistic decorations make Poro College rank among the handsomest institutions in America. Gives Race-Employment.

The oration of the afternoon was delivered by the Rev. W. H. Pock, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church. He said in part, "The Poro Building is one great garden of beauty and refinement. No attempt at the spectacular is made, while richness is everywhere apparent. Yet this is more than surpassed by the subdued color effect of the enchantment. The first panel paneling the Race's beginning as is shown by the caecel clothing, incomplete physical development, the crude spear, and the selfish burden, and is well called the Genesis. But his interest increases; they become "humanitarian, agricultural, and mechanical. Hence this is the Exodus. So much has been accomplished through application and sacrifice that a large panel must be used to imply the height to which the Race has climbed and the three sections of Negro womanhood."

Charleston Observer Says, "He Went Too Far. Mobs Trample Dignity Of The Courts Under Feet. Borah Had the Better of the Argument. By Associated Negro Press: CHARLOTTE, N. C., Oct. 22.—Leading newspapers of the South continue to denounce Senator Williams of Mississippi for his recent defense of lynching on the floor of the United States Senate. One of the most recent is the comment from the Charleston, N. C., Observer which says: "However, it must be admitted that Senator Borah, even though he may be a "South hater," had the better of the argument for once, so far as it concerned the question of the right and wrong of lynching. It is to be regretted that Senator Williams weakened and spilled his defense of the South by going too far. The best people the thinkers and the representatives and leading citizens of the South are with the Mississippi Senator when he defends this section against the attacks of those from other sections who would make it appear that the South alone is the land of lynchings, but they cannot endorse his advocacy of lynching. Every time such a leader as the Mississippi Senator publicly advocates lynching he hurts the South more than it is hurt by its enemies. Mobs Trample Dignity of Court. "The great majority of the people of the South stand for law and order. There are courts, of justice, and no matter what crime is charged against a man, whether white or black, he has the constitutional right to be tried in a court of justice, according to law. When the mob takes the law into its own hands it tramples the dignity of the courts and the majesty of the State under its feet. No good can come of such a course, but irreparable harm. . . "Senator Williams, when he stands in the Senate Chamber and approves and advocates lynching, is not voicing the sentiment of the Southern people; he is misrepresenting them. Therefore the South would be better off did he keep his mouth closed when lynching is the subject under discussion. Of course, there are those in the South who will endorse his positions, but there are in the minority. The great majority of the rank and file of the people and of the leaders in the civil and industrial life of the section deplore mob violence, from whatever cause. They agree with Senator Williams, when he said: "Considering the ultimate welfare of the human family, there can be no justification for the lynching of any person, and the man who preaches it is saddened the wind that reaps the walt-wind, no matter how black the skin of the victim may be."

SOLDIERS TRY TO START RIOT IN BLATO My Associated Negro Press: BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 22.—Seven hundred soldiers in uniform with sticks and stones endeavored to start a hot around Eastern Avenue and Spring Street recently, and but for the timely interference of the city and military police, a rampion of recent race riots in other cities, might have occurred. The trouble started late at night when four soldiers menaced a group of Colored people. The Colored people were active in defending themselves and held their own until the arrival of the police. CHICAGO CONTRIBUTES HEAVILY TO BUNDY DEFENSE FUND CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—The case at Dr. Larry N. Bundy of East St. Louis, who has brought the Supreme Court in Norfolk to the Chicago Bundy defense Fund has reached the amount of $11,923.1. Considerable money has been raised elsewhere and yet it is being by his chief counsel, Hustenton Calloway, of Kansas City, Missouri, that many have promised contributions who have not sent them in. It will require about ten thousand dollars to carry the case through the supreme Court. The case of Lovett, Fort-Whiteman, who is being held by the government authorities as an I. W. W., came up before commissioner Atkins, Wednesday, Oct. 22nd. After hearing the testimony of two men of the Department of Justice in support of the charges that Whiteman had said at a meeting the night of his arrest that: "We must organize the negroes under the banner of the I. W. W., if the negro is to be emancipated. We must overthrow capitalism, even though by so doing it becomes necessary for us to overthrow our present form of government, and to establish Soviet control and dictatorship of the proletariat." Commissioner W. E. Atkins bound him over to the Grand Jury on whatever charge that may be made against him, and fixed his bond at $5,000. Whiteman stoutly denied that he made any such statement, at the meeting saying, that he made no speech and had been in the hall only about fifteen minutes before his arrest. Mr. Whiteman told an Argus reporter, that he expected his friends here to arrange a bond for him, as he was quite sure he would be freed of any wrong doings when his case comes up. He was not represented by counsel at his preliminary hearing, but he asked his accusers some pointed questions.

Prescription C-2223 is for internal use only. It is absorbed and circulated readily in the blood, and can be directly given to the disease. Contains no opioids, morphine, chloral, atrychnine or mercury. GUARANTEE The manufacturer will refund your money if you are not benefited. Ask or read circular enclosed. Directions on every Bottle Price $1.50 THE C-2223 Laboratory MEMPHIS, TENN. The Great Blood Purifier Recommended for the Treatment of Eruptive Skin Diseases, Chronic Catarrh, Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago and All Conditions Caused by Impure Blood Two of the greatest purifiers in the world are sun and water, and on both depends life. As a purifier of the blood, no preparation stands higher than Plough's Prescription C-2223. For years and years this liquid prescription was used by a successful physician in his private practice. He found that this particular formula gave the best results to those of his patients who were suffering from some constitutional blood disease. In time this doctor made quite a reputation both for himself and the prescription which he used; today a large number of bottles are required by druggists to supply the demands of those in need of this meritorious preparation. In the treatment of Chronic Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula and other similar diseases of the blood, Plough's Prescription C-2223 has given relief to thousands. Despairing, helpless sufferers have secured benefit from this liquid prescription where all other advice and treatment had failed. I.S. & E.U.NO.51-C.A. ing headlines used in one of their editions with reference to the riot. The cause of its great infessor the policy of the Tribune, the chief of newspapers through the country. In a personal reply, Col. R. R. McCormick, one of the editors of The Tribune, endeavors to leave the impression that this newspaper is fair in its dea If you are suffering from a condition caused by bad blood, or you fear that the poisons and accumulations have never been entirely eliminated from your blood, you should begin now and take the Plough's Prescription C-2223 Treatment. This liquid preparation contains no Morphine, Cocaine, Strychnia, Chloral or Mercury; on the other hand, it is composed of certain medicinal ingredients, all of which are well known to medical authorities as being very effective in the treatment of Rheumatic and Blood Troubles. The very best materials and the greatest care are exercised in the preparation of this splendid treatment, so that you can be sure that if you follow the directions given as to its use, you will be greatly benefited if not permanently relieved. In the treatment of Chronic Rheumatism, Catarrh, Lumbago, Gout and Sciatica and any condition due to bad blood, it is important that the liver be active. To stimulate the liver, relieve constipation and keep the bowels in a healthy condition, Plough's C-2223 Liver Pills are especially recommended. They do not lings with Colored people. He says: 'Tribune representatives have been physically out of Southern town because of. The. Tribune's attitude against trudging. The Tribune was the first. If not the only, obligate organ to take up the question of better conditions for the Colored man in Chicago and to advocate the necessity of providing them with places to live if we. effectively brought about, we must produce in the country and in the city a condition where criminals are rapidly apprehended and met out stern justice. I think all ediths should devote considerable energy to the agitation of this essential condition." Nevertheless, it seems that the point of view of The Tribune and that of the Colored people regarding what is "fair are going to bring them here to work. Mob law, whether exercised against Colored or white men, has always followed a failure of the constituted authorities to perform their obligation. The Tribune will continue to be, as it has for many years, the leading journalistic opponent of lynch law. We feel, however, that before this end can nauseate and can be used by those who cannot stand a dose of calomel or other drastic purgatives. Plough's Prescription C-2223 can be supplied you ready prepared by drugrists at $1.50 a bottle; the Pills at 25c, or if you are unable to get the treatment from your home dealer, send $1.75 to the 2223 Laboratory, Memphis, and the package will be mailed you postpaid. You can get a free sample of the Pills and literature by writing. 2223 Laboratory, Memphis, Tenn.

It was nothing more or less than a veiled threat that if the Colored people did not stay in "their place," the white people will put them in "their place" and keep them there.

PROTEST AGAINST NEGRO paper carried a news item a few hoped to be a strong protest from the Negro enrachment on white people. but we inclined to ignore the pro- further attention, yet we feel that should not go by unchallenged. We wil have these protestants to say we live there? If they do not like the try, they can move. a strong protest is the white people a certain piece of church property. trustees of the church sought, the and they accepted and have laid down payment. The Negro has a right here in this country so long as he can. His boundaries are limited only to other group of people. Threats to Americans, but the venerated class will turn a deaf ear to such protest. Many and varied have been the newspaper comments on the great steel strike that is now going on in the large industrial centers of this Nation. Of course, the strike will soon be settled with both sides claiming the victory. We are interested as far as the strike directly affects the Negro from an industrial standpoint. Now and then a press report gives an account of clashes between Negroes and strikers. Then a report is circulated to the effect that Negro strike breakers are being imported into these districts. We do not relish the expression "strike breaker" when referred to the Negro, because we want to be men as other men. We must work with our hands for a livelihood. A larger per centum of us belong to the laboring class than any other group of workers in America. Therefore we can't but appreciate the importance of organization. We have been denied the privilege of joining most of the labor organizations, especially to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. For that reason, our opportunity to work in many of the industries has come when the wheels of these plants have been stopped or threatened with stoppage by reason of strikes. We are not strike breakers, and as such we never give our consent, but we are workers, seeking to earn an honest living by the sweat of our brow. The charge against us that we are strike breakers is very unjust. We have no alternate, we must work when given the opportunity. If that opportunity only comes when the unions are on a strike, necessity forces us to accept work when and where we can get it. Let the workers remove their ban on admitting colored men to their councils, and they will find him true and loyal to every trust. Just as he has always been to every other cause that has been entrusted to his care. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL Just a few days are left as we go to press in which we shall have an opportunity to subscribe to a fund to erect a monument to the memory of the late Theodore Roosevelt. We, as a group of American citizens, will take great pride in subscribing to this fund because Mr. Roosevelt was the ideal American, in that he had a keen conception of the rights and duties of citizens in a Republic like ours. Fearless and zealous were his strong points. He feared not what the howling mob might say when he once made up his mind that his cause was right. He was more zealous for American ideals than any other man in public life in his day. We had great hope of him as the Savior of American principles, so we build a monument to his memory that his life may inspire others to emulate his spirit. Every man, woman and child who has heard of his name should give something. Just a little will help our own lives. STRONG PROTEST AGAINST NEGROES. A local daily paper carried a news stem a few days ago embodying what is alleged to be a strong protest from 'west end citizens' against the Negro enroachment on white people's territory of this city. At first thought we are inclined to ignore the protest as being too absurd to give further attention, yet we feel that such move in a free country should not go by unchallenged. We should like to know what right have these protestants to say who shall live here, or who shall live there? If they do not like their neighbor, this is a free country, they can move. sand dollars as part payments. The Negro has a right to buy and hold property anywhere in this country so long as he conducts himself as a good citizen. His boundaries are limited only by his purse strings, just as any other group of people. Threats and protests do not come from true Americans, but the venerated class. True and patriotic Americans will turn a deaf ear to such protests. "COMMISSION" MAKES FARCIAL REPORT ON CONDITION IN MISS CHICAGO. Oct. 22 - The Farcial commission" that recently went into Miskatli at the instances the Chicago Association of Commerce brought back such glowing reports from that wonderful country as being a land of promise, has fallen flat and those who have been watching the effect, claim that the propagandists of injustices will have to look elsewhere for schemes to get the Colored people to return South. The committee was commissioned by the Chicago Association of Commerce, the federal bureau of labor and organized labor. It has just made its report, relating that it found "exceptional happiness, contempt and prosperity among the Negroes of Mississippi." The report says that "school facilities were found to be good, churches adequate, housing conditions being improved rapidly and race relations good." The industrious Negro is afforded excellent opportunities to become land. No police operations, immigration or law enforcement was found." The committee related that its facts "were secured from the Negroes themselves, and we had the privilege of riding with them and surveying their farms in automobiles they own. This is the surprising report brought back by our researchers from a state company represented as hailing and abusing Negroes it is not worthy that Mississippi business men recently issued an invitation to Negroes who had migrated to the North to return. One suspicion, however, suggests itself. Did this Chicago committee make its report so entrapting to get rid of the Negroes who have moved to Chicago, where they seem to be un- PAGE EIGHT One Year Six Months Three Months Single Copy SHED WEEKLY BY THE US PUBLISHING CO.

At the support of the Urban League the School Based will begin a class next Monday of eight October 27th at Summer High School, at 7:30 p.m. in the study of Industrial Problems. Emphasis will be placed upon problems affecting Negro employees. The work of this class will be most interesting because of the fact that Negroes are now receiving unusual attention in industry. The League is anxious to have a large number enrolled for this work and urges those who have had high school training or its equivalent to take advantage of this unusual opportunity. The League also hopes to select from the attendants those who may be later placed in positions calling for social service training. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12—One of the most active supporters of the Curtis resolution to investigate plots and lynchings is Senator Medill McCormick. Republican, of Illinois, "in a statement to the Associated Negro Press he says: 'Sober men who are interested in assuring the sovereignty of the law, who are determined so to promote public option that the officers of the law may successfully defend life and property, must speak and act with the resolution and the restraint, which will carry weight throughout the country. At the moment as Dr. Morton said in a statement recently given out at Fayetteville, leaders of both races are trying as they never have before, to meet the problem of the relations between the races and yet white men and black men have been guilty of incoherent utterance and of violence, in a degree unequalled for a generation."

In remembrance of my dear daughter, Giadys, who departed this life October 22. 1918. Our hearts in deep sorrow return to the day Our memories recall how death bore you away And left us in tears and grief and woe. When we stood by your bed one year ago. One year ago, with all its change, Since death strangely bade us part, But my child, all these changes Cannot take you from our hearts. Gone in the best of your days. Blighted in womanhood's bloom. Gone from hearts that loved you. To sleep in the silent tomb. Sadly missed by mother, Josephine Tyler, and brother, Earl C. Tyler. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my wife, Maud, who departed this life year ago October 19, 1918. She is sadly missed October 19, 1918. She is sadly missed. It was our Master's will. Your passing leaves a vacant place in my home that cannot be filled. Sleep on, Maud, as I carry a heavy heart for you. Yet, may my heart be light- ened some day when I meet you in the Great Beyond. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our dear son and husband, Ahart S. Palmer, who departed this life one year ago, October 28, 1918. One year has passed. Sad and broken-hearted was the call: I little thought that on that day. My dear son should pass away. In his lonely grave he's sleeping. As the shadows onward fall; And now our hearts, are weeping. No more his presence we can call. Do not ask us if we miss him, Oh, there's such a vacant place; Oft we think we hear his footsteps, Or we see his smiling face. Day by day we sadly miss him. Friends may think the wound is healed; But they little know the grief That's within our heart concealed. He shall never be forgotten. Never from our memory fade; Loving hearts shall always diner Around the grave where he is laid. Sadly missed by Mother, Wife and Grandmother. In loving remembrance of F. D. Alston, who departed this life October 22, 1917. Sweet are the memories we have of thee. When in our home you used to be So good, kind, loving and true. Ever mindful of all around you. Sadly missed by wife, Mrs. F. D. Alston; Ruth Green, step-daughter. In loving memory of William H Gates, who departed this life two years ago. A precious one from us has gone, His voice we loved it still. His voice we loved is still, His place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Sadly missed by parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Gates, and other relatives. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear mother, Basilvin Thomas, who died Oct. 28, 1918, one year ago. Gone but not forgotten, you will ever linger in our memory. Twas the Lord who called you home. To live with Him forever, around His bright and happy throne. Thou has gone dear mother. Our hearts are filled with pain. But on that bright and happy shore, We will see you again; That sweet face will greet us, As in days of yore; When we reach our Heavenly home, There to part no more. Sadly missed by Eliza Willis, daughter, Morrison, William A. and J. Clinton Thomas, sons; Joseph R. and Arthur W. Thomas, grandchildren; Nancy Anderson, niece; Dalay, Marie and Frances Thomas, daughters-in- IN MEMORIAM. In loving remembrance of our dear wife and mother, Katie Bruce, who departed this life one year ago, Oct. 20, 1918. Just one year has passed away. Since our dear one left us: Oh, how we miss you, your place is vacant in our home. But in our hearts you are long remembered. Sadly missed by Jas. Bruce, husband; Joseph Bruce, son. IN MEMORIAM. In memory of our loving mother, Mrs. L. Hughes, who departed this life in 1945. Days of rainy stills will come. Though she left, four years ago. No friend on earth like her we find. God called her home it was His will; But in our hearts she sings still. For all of us she did her best; God grant her stareal rest. Sadly missed by son and daughters Marshall Hughes, Lottie Ellis and Mary E. Rounds. ANNOUNCEMENT. Dr. W. S.

SUPERIOR TO COPAIBA & INJECWONS SANTAL CA-SULES MYDY RELIEVES 1,124 HOURS "We Are After Social Equity, Social Sameness. We Want to Walk in Jerusalem Just Like John," Says Col. Charles Young By Associated Negro Press. PROVIDENCE, R. L., Oct. 25—Col. Charles Young, U. S. A., the highest ranking officer of his race in this country, who was retired during the world war, but reassigned to activa duty, and had charge of Camp Grant, with 8000 men and 192 officers, in interestingly talked to 600 Colored people recently in Trinity Church auditorium. Broad street, counselling pa- tience, moderation, co-operation and race unity. The colonel, who is a graduate of West Point, has represented his country at home and abroad, spent four years in Africa and absorbed much information, at first hand, about the Negroes of the world. He declared that the Negro has a glorious history, and is not a child race, but was civilized before coming to America in slave ships 300 years ago. He made no direct reference to the Omaha rioting, nor any other racial troubles in this country in his address at the auditorium but did say that law has been laid low and decency is dead in some places in this country, and that it beboxes every American citizen, however well he may know how to throw bombs, train cannon, pull triggers to exhaust every possible peaceful expedient before resorting to violence. He told his audience, especially the reutned service men of whom, there were more-than a score present, that they had the American Legion through which to fight their battle for fair play and justice, and ought to join it, even in separate posts, which he preferred, as while "white people know many things Colored people don't know, Colored people know some things white people will never know, there being among them an odd-fellowship, a free-masonry the white will-never learn." "We are not hunting social equality," he declaimed. "We are after social equity, social sameness. We want to walk in Jerusalem just like John," as the old Colored man said years ago. Emphasizing the value of organization and co-operation he told of everything turning aside in Africa when the little ant starts out on his forays, millions strong, people deserting their homes and the kings of animaldom getting out of the way. "Use your votes as battering raams against the walls of prejudice," he said, "practice moderation, mediation, conciliation and arbitration before you attempt rioting in this country of ours," he counseled. "I believe in my country's flag and the institutions under that flag. I believe in the black man standing with the black man and with the good white people, shoulder to shoulder, and I believe that if wars break out again, you follow in the gallery and in the pit are going again, as your people always have gone in defense of their country. "I believe a majority of the decent people of this country North and South, are with us. I believe in my own black self and my own black Race, and that God had a great purpose in placing us here. He has made my race the most spiritual in the world, with stronger bodies than any other Race." A LITTLE HISTORY ON AMERICANISM REVERBLY, Mass., Oct. 15.—There was a large attendance at the Pleasant Sunday evening service at the 1st Baptist Church. The Hospital Unit Quartet—sang "Swing-low sweet chariot" "Old Black Joe," and "Old Kentucky Home," and the congregation sang "Swance River" and other Negro metodies. The subject of the sermon of the pastor, Rev. C. W. Chamberlin was "The Negro in America." Next year New England and the centre country will celebrate the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims, sold Mr. Chamberlin. The present year is a similar anniversary of the coming of another, group who have since become a large factor in our national life: the husband of Pocahontas wrote in the journal of the Virginia colony in 1619. "About the last of August came a Dutch man of war that said 'us 20 Negroes.'" These were the first of what - now constitutes nearly twelve million of our population. Thus it is seen that the Negroes as well as the Pilgrims have the distinction of being 100 per cent Americans. The first company of twenty was subsequently augmented by many more barges from the West Coast of Africa, some New England men being among those who profited by the unholy trade. In the history of the Negro in America, the first chapter is 250 years of chattel slavery when they were held and treated as property the same as cattle and hogs. There were kind masters and there were brutal ones. The first mitigated the cells of slavery but no man is good enough to own his brother. After much agitation by anti-slavery leaders the climax came in the Civil War. EDITOR JONES ON INTERNATIONAL COM MITTEE OF Y. M; C. A. Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK, Oct. 15 — Dr. Robert, R.

Ditchatch) Mr. Wilson's party, of which he is the accredited leader, is largely responsible for this spread of racial tolerance. All over the south, which is nothing, if not arrogantly Democratic, the Negro has no rights, civil or political, that white man is bound to respect. He is treated as an inferior and th underlying and only tolerated to the limit he is, because he is needed and wanted to do the hard and dirty work. The Democratic party of the north has defended this attitude on the part of their autocratic associates of the south, so well and so long that the same spirit of intolerance toward the Negro race is infecting the north, also. And Woodrow Wilson, the latter-day apostle of democracy (grafted into autocratic stock), is the leader of this party-that would pose as a world emancipator for all white people, but would place the black race in a position of servitude, almost serfdom, in our own Christian nation. "The rights of Armenians of Asia are sacred, but the rights of the Negroes of America are subject to "reservation." A special grany lury at Montgomery, Ala., "investigating" the lynching of three Negroes there last Monday, has been unable to obtain any information as to the identity of any member of either mob. This sort of tragic farce is what makes imperative the demand for federal attention to lynch law Unquestionably, the very worst foes of the Negro are those who delude into reliance on the use of weapons and set him to dreaming of possible achievements of a civil war. To such a war there could be but one end, as the inciting agents know perfectly well, but they are indifferent to that, and think only of the help for their own plans which they, hardly less decluded, than their black dupes, expect to derive from starting a futile revolt. An appeal by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America in behalf of justice to the Negro ought to receive the consideration of every good citizen. This is not asking for social equality or any special privilege for a race which is here against its own will, but bespeaks only a recognition of the right of the Negro under the law. Nothing could be more in accord with Christian doctrine, which has basic belief that "God hath made of all men one nation to swell on the earth." "The trouble with the Negro in this country—so far as trouble exist—is not that he lacks law, but its enforcement; not that he lacks academic sympathy, but ordinary help; not that he demands unnecessary things, but receives too little of that to which he is entitled. It is a matter of common knowledge that many who profess loudly their Christianity are not above teviling "the nigger" as if he had no right in this country. Are white men who make the laws and administer them afraid to trust themselfs? Have we reached a point where we must insist on summary vengeance, even if we have to murder the officers sworn to uphold the laws we make; even if we have to burn court houses and jail? Have the American people no more respect for law and order than to do these things? It is time for every American citizen to consider these things? Human life, black or white, will not be safe anywhere unless there is a change for the better. (Pittsburg, Pa. Chronicle) It all comes down to this: which is to rule in this country law or anarchy? America is in need of a tremendous awakening of sentiment supporting the enforcement of the law, without fear of favor. A government which confesses its inability to protect its citizens in their rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is no government at all. Might Try Justice. (New York, N. Y. Globe) It is true that no party of lynchers has ever been brought to justice. That might be tried. Ordinary justice requires that the individual Negro, precisely as the individual white man, should he treated for just what he is, regardless of his race or the color of his skin. If he is honest and law-abiding, he should be treated accordingly, for those are the things he is responsible for—not his race or color. The average, normal Negro, north or south, deserves credit and appreciation for what he has made of himself, in spite of all handicaps; and the worst specimen of his race is not so great a disgrace to civilization as the white mob that hunts him, lynch him and drags his dead body through the street. (Steubenville, Ohio, Gazette) Even the Turk outlaws in Armenia will read the reports from Omaha and Alabama and Arkansas with much satisfaction. They will no doubt ask if this is the same America that is praised in verse and song as the "land of the free and the home of the brave." How's This from Ohio? (Dayton Journal) "The white race has very much of which to be ashamed in its treatment of the Negro, and, as it was the white race that for years held the Negro servile and ignorant it should encourage rather than discourage Negro education and welfare. The entire Negro race must not be condemned because of those brutes who infame sentiment by committing atrocities crimes. These individual Negroes should be given the extreme penalty of the law, after due process, and not by lynchings, but the innocent should not also be made to suffer. The greater portion of the Negro race today is sober, industrious and anxious to further the education and well-being of the race and deserves encouragement and not persecution." Leaderal Who, Which, What? Some one has said that the world's greatest World War failed lamentably in that it produced no great leader who stands out in the field of greatness with Caesar, Napoleon, Gladstone and Lincoln. The world in its present serious state of restlessness needs a mighty personality whose force of character, justice and leadership would arrest the attention of peoples everywhere and bring them to a calm and sensible consideration of all troubles. Who, which, what are the present leaders of the group of Colored Americans? Captain Archibald Roosevelt, a veteran of the War, and son of the late Theodore Roosevelt, a Public Address before the American Loyal in Wendell Phillips High School, Chicago, said this: "The Colored people of America need real leaders who will guide the way to right and justice. THE RACE HAS LOST TWO GREAT LEADERS, ONE OF THEM BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, AND THE OTHER, IF I MAY BE PARDONED, WAS MY FATHER." For many decades, the ministers of the gospel were regarded as the true and rightful leaders of the masses. But today, there is no great character in any of the denominations whose personality is an outstanding factor in our national life. There are many splendid men, but their influence is limited. A group of A. M. E. bishops demonstrated timely leadership in sending a memorial to Congress demanding action on the present conditions. In North Carolina we have the example of "28 educators" assuming the role of leadership on the subject of "Race Adjustment." Group leadership is always effective, and it is believed that their action will result in ultimate good. They are at least demonstrating the necessary element of Vision, which makes them see beyond their own fireside and state line. One of the biggest factors of leadership is: Attention! There may be those who have fine theories; there may be those whose earnestness arouses sincere admiration, but if they do not get the attention of the people—the General Public—the "waste their sweetness on the desert air." By the standard of Attention, the greatest influence in the race today, the influence that is demonstrating, beyond question, aggressive and militant leadership, fright, fair, fearless, faithful—is the NEWSPAPERS! In the light of other days, the influence of our newspapers is amazingly hopeful. Under the banners of Justice and True Americanism, they are leading onward to mighty victories for the people. Their mighty voice of appeal for the things that are fair and right, is getting the ears of the thinking people of all races, in America and the world at large. The tangle of prejudice are being loosened, and the, wild eyed haters of humanity, in all parts of the land, are becoming alarmed beyond measure. Many of their lifelong friends are deserting them, and joining the side of right; the evidence is found in Congress—as last; in the editorial expressions of the daily newspapers, North and South; in the testimony and action of public men who are now during to speak their convictions; in the cooperative endeavors of sensible people of all groups to get together and give serious consideration—a thing which has really never been done before—to the problems of adjustment. In the light of these facts, there is hope ahead. Bondsman 4066 Finney Ave. Leading West End BARBER SHOP PHONE 1 INDELL 5103 Residence, Lindell 1034-R LITTLE SAVOY BARBERSHOP 21 N. CHANNING AVE.
