BUSINESS MEN'S MISTAKE. The colored business men's league at St. Louis made a great mistake in electing Robert R. Moton as president of their organization. Moton is not a business man, knows nothing whatever of business and very little of anything else. The clicque which maneuvered his election was simply working to impose the sinister power of Tuskegee on colored business men. Moton is not even qualified to be the principal of Tuskegee, because he lacks an important quality which every leader should possess—manhood. When his wife was ejected from a Pullman car a few years ago he practically intimated that it served her right, as he had warned her to "respect the traditions of the South." Imagine a man who will not protect his own wife, as the head of an institution organized "for the training of colored youth!" ONE WAY OUT. It seems that the best means for promoting the welfare of the colored people would be the scattering of colored families all over the country. In communities where there are only a few families there seems to be little or no friction. Trouble seems to be caused by the coming of the masses. An example of this is right here in Minnesota in the town of Bemidji, where there are not more than a dozen colored people. Charles W. Scrutchin a colored man of African ancestry is the leading lawyer, having a good paying practice, his clientele being all white. He has the respect of the entire population and is received everywhere with the same cordial welcome that is given the whitest man in town. There is no race problem in Bemidji. "MISTAKEN FOR NEGROES." During the recent race riots in Chicago, about half a hundred, Mexicans, East Indians, Malays, Cubans, Porto Ricans and other peoples of dusky hue were mistaken for "negroes" and either insulted or badly beaten. There was not such great mistakes after all, Prone in the road he lay. Wounded and sore bestead: Priests, Levites past that way. And turned aside the head. as the majority of these peoples have a percentage of African blood. On the contrary not less than 20.000 colored Americans, often called "negroes," some as fair as illies went unmolested through the streets of Chicago. It was one of the queer incidents of the riots. The white rioters, with murder in their hearts often could not tell a "negro (?)" when they met him. COWARDLY BISHOP REBUKED. We reprint from the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a stalwart and outspoken champion of the colored people, the following rebuke to cowardly colored bishop: BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG There is much in Bishop C. H. Phillips' pacifist interview of last Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Leader, to interest the average reader, there is one statement to which about all of the intelligent members of our race will take issue and that is his statement that "the Afro-American does not desire social, political or industrial equality." That is not true, bishop! In this section of the country we want and, in a limited degree, enjoy all three. In the South, our people are asking the last two. "Social equality" is a myth. It does not exist among any class (race) of Americans. It is a matter for the individual to settle and he alone settles it in all cases. And many white and colored individuals (families) in this section of the country have long ago settled it to their entire satisfaction and are enjoying the so-called "social equality," and will continue to do until "the end of the chapter" regardless of the ranting of the mother if not both and the laws of the political equality, the fundamental law of the land guarantees the latter if not both and the laws of the ones in most cases explicit when it comes to the former. Not only does this race of ours desire them but it demands them and will never rest until they are conceded in every nook and corner of this country of ours. The Afro-American wants and must have everything good every other class (race) enjoys in this country if he is to keep abreast of the times and be able to cope with them in the great struggle of life. In this section of the country, at least, we can stand up and say so—tell the plain unvarnished truth and should do so. That it is not advisable for the good bishop to do so because of his residence in the South and because of the large church interests there he represents, we can understand. However, good bishop, please refrain from giving out such interviews here in the North where they do no good but on the contrary have an effect that retards the progress of those of the race in this section of the country. WOULD BAR FROM ARMY. Colored men would be barred from the army and navy under a bill introduced by Representative Carraway (dem.) Arkansas. The bill also provides for the discharge within sixty days of all colored men now ing the service and prohibits appointment of colored men to the naval and military academies. Representative Carraway knows that this bill can not be passed, but he wishes to stir up race friction and make a hit with the rough necks of Arkansas. NOT A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY. One Beauregard Moseley of Chicago, a colored man of local prominence presumably in order to be patted on the back and called a "good negro," in an address at a colored meeting dur- To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. ing the riots informed his auditors that, "this is a white man's country." He was promptly rebuked and we trust he'll know better next time. No, this is not a "white man's country." It is true that the white man stole it from the Indians, and also stole some colored men who were free in Africa, brought them over here and made them slaves to work the stolen property. Three hundred years of unrequited tills gives the colored man a better title to the land than the white man's. The colored man knows no other land; he speaks the vernacular of the country; he has fought in every war to preserve its integrity; has has all ways been loyal though deprived of "life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness." The colored people of the United States are not aliens; they were all born here. They are Americans and as Americans have their share in our common country. BROKEN HEARTS REPAIRED Broken hearts are being mended in Russia now—not the hearts shattered by unfortunate romances, but the valvular organs pierced by knives. Time mends the first kind, and the skilled surgeon Zeelder, can be depended on to operate successfully on the knife-torn heart. Dr. Zeelder has a little hospital at Obuchow. Thirty-one persons brought to the hospital with hearts pierced and slashed by knife wounds have successfully had their organs repaired and have recovered entirely, to all appearances, from their remarkable experiences. One patient has lived seven years and shows no signs of having been affected by the heart wound and subsequent sewing up. The foregoing statement is going the rounds of the press as something new and remarkable, yet human hearts were repaired more than 20 years ago and it was a colored man, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the famous surgeon of Chicago, who first successfully operated on the human heart. "NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING The following from the Chicago Tribune is a manly protest against the use of a word which is particularly offensive to colored women. OBJECTS TO "NEGRESS." Chicago—(Editor of the Tribune.) In two recent issues you published very fine and highly commendatory ditorials on "Race Progress and Common Sense," yet, notwithstanding that, yesterday you state in glaring headlines the "Death of Mme. Walker, Wealthiest Negress." That word "Negress" is nauseating in the eyesight of all colored women and should be eliminated from the vocabulary, in which it has no rightful place. Above all, your paper should be the leader in this regard, if you really have the welfare of the colored race at heart. SAMUEL Z. C. WESTERFIELD. The colored men who persist in using "negro" as a race designation are largely to blame for the common use of a word which should be avoided. The colored people of the United States are Americans—that's all. The use of "negro" and "negress" is the cause of many discriminations against the colored people. The word "negress" is nauseating, and so is the word "negro" when used as a racial designation for the colored people of the United States. Ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment was defeated in the Georgia senate by a vote of 37 to 12. Not strongen in state which lynches women for the alleged crimes of their relatives. Atty-General's Riot Remedies EXERCISE OF GOOD COMMON SENSE AND IMPARTIAL, PROSECUTIONS ARE THE MAIN POINTS. Segregation Held Impossible Exercise of justice, reason and good sense between both blacks and whites and impartial prosecution of all offenders offer the only preventive against the recurrence of race rioting, said Attorney General, of Illinois, Edward J Brundage in an address before the Chicago Association of Commerce at Hotel La Salle. Segregation of the races, the attorney general said, is impossible under the constitution of the United States as the law prevents restriction between citizens possessing equal political rights. Accuses Police. "I desire to make no criticism of the individual policeman or of any particular commanding officer," Mr. Brundage said. "I do say, however, that it is mighty unfortunate for the future welfare of Chicago that nearly all the persons turned over to the state's attorney for prosecution for the recent riots are those whose skins are colored. It is a reflection upon Chicago that black men could be robbed in broad daylight in the heart of the district without a single member of the police arrested. Calls, Mails, Courts." **WARREN:** "A mob is the most commonly of all brutal aggregations and a few determined police officers could have made it possible for the state's attorney and a jury in the criminal court to have given a wholesome lesson to mob leaders. "A mob shows no discrimination and so innocent colored men were chased by howling mobs through the streets of downtown Chicago—some losing their lives at their hands. "There is nothing new in race prejudice. There has been prejudice between a race and the color of the Negro's skin, like the man an easy mark in these outbreaks. "The war apparently awakened a disregard for civil law and order. Men have become dissatisfied and life is being held cheaply. "There is more than a suspicion in the assertion that white men in Chicago have contributed financially to destroy the homes of colored men." "There must be a realization that the colored man is no longer in a state of slavery. A half century has passed since his serfdom and he now is a factor in our industrial life. He is acquiring both education and property. "He is given, under the constitution of the United States, political rights, and those rights, given him by law, that he is permitted to enjoy. Those who would be them are lawless, and if the law is to be venerated all laws must be honored. In Illinois the Fourteenth Amendment is going to be recognized. "One thing I wish to emphasize and that is the loyalty of the colored man. He has always been true to the Stars and Stripes, and has never joined any organization founded with the intention of destroying our institutions. Segregation Impossible. "Segregation has been advocated as a remedy, but if there is any blood and Tissue, the constitution of the United States there be no lawful restriction between citizens possessing equal political rights. "The final and lasting cure, if there be one, is the exercise of justice, reason and good sense between both colored and white, even though the treatment is prolonged as any procedure dependent upon the individual conscience for fulfilment must necessarily be. "It is only by vigorous and impartial prosecution of all offenders that respect law is established. Society is not made upon the principle that might makes right. Where laws are respected mobs are impossible. FRENCH DEMAND RACE EQUALITY Protest on American Soldiers' Acts to Colored Men. Paris, August—The government was interpelled in the chamber of deputies a few days ago on the rough treatment French colored soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by M. Boiseuf and M. Lagrosilliere, colored deputies, respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: The chamber, faithful to the imperial principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste, or race, firmly affirms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or color, and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted." Expects an Apology Jules Pams, minister of the interior, replying to the colored deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to insist upon a discussion of "the very regrettable incidents, as France does not forget the services rendered by her colored sons." The mayor of the interior added that the American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. "High Diplomacy" Problem Diplomacy. Problem. M. Pams asked Deputy Boisneuf for reasons of high diplacy" to drop the subject. The authority said he would not speak of questions it involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French military authorities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." "And it is America that wants a society of nations," interjected Charles Bernard, a deputy from the Seine. "The circular wasn't signed by Wilson," shouted Deputy Mayeras (Socialist from the Seine) in reply to M. Bernard. (From The Nation, New York.) To the Editor of The Nation: Sir: On Tuesday night, when so many in Ledroit Park feared a mob and a general massacre, and when most white men believed that a white woman who ventured into that section would be literally devoured, I took it into my head to go there, and go I did. I went for several reasons. One was to prove that a white woman would it; another, because I knew what had been done by the authorities and thought it was an assurance from a lone and harmless woman might go a good way, for I guessed probable psychological state in that section. Besides, I wanted to know at first hand what the colored people were doing and thinking. I found out. If I talked to one colored man, I talked to a hundred and fifty. Occasionally I would stop to speak to one I knew; oftener I would accost a group of unknown men and ask them for their views. Always and everywhere I met courtesy and attention. As we talked, men would appear from the shadows, seemingly from the night itself—until they perhaps twenty of us, who once did their colleague, who at glanced us asianly said nothing and passed slowly on. And when we had finished our talk, the group would melt into nothingness and I would proceed on my quest. I saw no women at all. And the men—why, those men were not out to "start something." They were armed, most of them, and were quite frank about it, but they did not want a fight. They said they were out to see if a mob were coming, and, if there were, they were going home to barricade themselves; then, if the mob got to get in, there was trouble ahead. As done before, "A man would be less than a man if he tried for his family and his home." The mind was not primarily fight. It was fear, a perfect hysteria of dread lest, as more than one expressed it, "a new East St. Louis" was at hand. And, as with all hysteria, a small occurrence would have set them off in a frenzy. Dynamite! They were TNT. Again and again! I was asked: "Is a mob gathering on Pennsylvania Avenue? As they come up and burn us out? Is they cordoned?" For they did not dare go downward far enough to see if the trooper was in danger. Over and over, I heard the pathetic question: "Do the white folks care? Does anyone care? Are they really doing anything?" I told them that the best of the whites did care, but that we were helpless. I told them also that measures had really been taken that afternoon and what they were—that there really was military, as well as police, protection. One queer old man remarked: "Well, I reckon someone care, or a white lady wouldn't come to raid it." A one-handed soldier said: "I listed; I gave the country my hand; and I was ready to give more. When I was in France, I was a man and a soldier, but when I get back here, I'm not a citizen; I'm not a man, even—just a big, black brute." It was not bitterly; it went deeper than bitterness. He spoke like a man with a broken heart. Another said: "They this is to protect the white women. My wife was in charge of a whole women during the Civil War. They weren't afraid to leave the white women with us then, and colored men are no different now." Many of them expressed a liking for, and confidence in, the captain of the precinct, and, when a man of one race speaks well of a man of another, during a race riot, that means something. But they spoke of the lack of colored police, and of the fact that colored men were being dropped from the force and that none had been appointed since 1910. "You know," they said, "that we could talk better to colored people; they would reason with the people and not just knock them 'round. They know the people are and what is going on, and they stop a lot of trouble without arrests, they don't want to give us a chance." I saw but one noisy Negro, a half-witted and dishevelled-looking fellow, talking loudly and belligently. Him two colored men seized and thoroughly shook, telling him that if he did not "shut up and get home," he would certainly find things happening to him, and those colored boy came flying on a bicycle from the white mob had formed inside the cordon and was on its way. "Let's go meet them," said one young hothead. This was at once negatived. "We'll watch and see if they are coming, and if they are, we will go home and lock the doors. That's what Captain Doyle said, and he knows what's what." So, he cense moments, we stood peering into the room, not knowing what might all be about to come. But all was quiet, and we silently drifted on our ways. And thus it went for two hours. I met them—not savages, not red-handed murderers, but citizens, hunted and terrified, looking more or less hopelessly to their Government for aid; human beings craving the hand of brotherhood, and cut to the very heart. I thought of Belgium. I remembered that my country stands abroad for liberty, justice, and the rights of men, though she has them not at home. How blind we are, we Anglo-Saxons, who talk of Freedom and have not yet freed our souls. But still I hope and dimly see a dawn—red. it is true, but still a far-off dawn A white man once said to me: "You talk like a Negro. You seem at times to identify yourself with them. Have you lost your race consciousness?" I replied: "I hope I think enough like them to show you how they feel. I hope I always lose race consciousness it stands in the way of my consciousness in a common humanity. Then he said a queer thing: "I do not know whether you are mad or inspired." I had been thinking of going to Serbia, but I believe my duty is here. I believe that our country needs all of us who are standing along the color line. I am ready to do anything possible, to whatever limit. If you to whom I look as a leader in this situation, should ever need my services, I would not be afraid, not with the glare of the destroying torch, but with the steady, incandescent glow which cannot be extinguished.

URGES FULL CO-OPERATION Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois has announced the appointment of a commission of twelve professional and business men to make a study of race relationships and report on the recent race riots in Chicago. Members of Commission. The members of the commission are: Edgar A. Bancroft, Julius Roseenwald, Victor F. Lawson, Edward Osgood Brown, Harry Eugene Kelly, William Scott Bond, Dr. Geo. C. Hall Edward H. Morris, Robert S. Abbott Adelbert H. Roberts, George H. Jackson, Rev. L. K. Williams. The six last named are colored men. Mr. Bancroft is chairman of the commission, which will begin its investigations as soon as some of the members return from their vacations, probably within a week or two. Acts on Requests. In making public the names of his appointees, the governor issued the following statement: "I have been requested by many citizens and by many civic organizations in Chicago to appoint a commission to study and report upon the recent race riots in Chicago, and upon the broad question of the relations between the two races. "Those riots were the work of the worst element of both races. They did not represent the great overwhelming majority of either race. The two races are here and will remain here. The great majority of each realizes the necessity of their living upon terms of cordial good-will and respect, each for the other. That condition must be brought about. Must Solve Problem. "To say that we can not solve this problem is to confess the failure of self-government. I offer no solution of the problem. I do know, however, that the question can not be answered by mob violence. I do know that every time that men, white or colored, take the law into their own hands, instead of helping they only postpone the settlement of the question. When we admit the existence of a problem and courageously face it, we have gone halfway toward its solution. I have with the utmost care, in response to the requests above set forth, appointed a commission to undertake this great work. I have sought only the most representative men of the two races. I have not even asked them whether they had views as to how the question could be met. Urges Spirit of Fairness: "I have asked them only to approach the difficult subject with an open mind and in a spirit of fairness and justice to all. This is a tribunal that has been constituted to get the facts and interpret them and to find a way out. I believe that great good can come out of the work of this commission. "I ask that our people, white and colored, give their fullest co-operation to the commission. I ask, too, as I have a right to ask, that both races exercise that patience and self-reliance, and be indispensable to self-government while we are working out this problem." The Organization That Got a Delegate to Paris in Spite of Government Ban, to Meet at Washington, D. C., for Three Days. Washington, D. C., August, 1919. Following the meeting of the local branch in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church which heard the details of the remarkable exploit of Delegate William Trotter of the League in outwitting the State Department by carrying the cause of the race to the Peace Conference, Executive Officers of this organization, headed by Rev. Byron Gunner of New York as Chairman, held a two days' session. The result was the decision to hold the 12th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League at Washington, September 23rd to 25th, 1919. One of the features will be the Colored Race and the Peace Conference, in connection with a full report by delegate Trotter. "Full Democracy Now" is the slogan. Every existing branch league, every branch formed prior to Sept. 25 is eligible to send delegates, also all bodies which sent delegates to the World Democracy Congress conducted by the League. NEWS FROM OVER THERE Paris, France, Aug. 7, 1919.—After sixteen months from my home and family and one year in Europe, it is expected that by August 25 my discharge will be given to me in New York City. The last appointment given to a colored secretary by the Paris office was given to me yesterday. The last party of twenty colored secretaries was placed in my charge; it is the most signal recognition I have received to be placed in charge of such a learned, strong and big minded group of Christian men and women. Among them are: A. W. Schockley, J. H. Scroggins, Wm. Stevenson, C. H. Williamson, R. M. Atwell, Mrs. Mary Talbert, Mrs. Helen Curtis, Mrs. Florence C. Williams, Miss Katherine Johnson, Miss Aletha Rochen, Mrs. Madeline Childs, Miss N. F. Brown, Mrs. Addie W. Hunton. The hope is that we will sail from Bolongue Saturday.

Its resources amount to more than $61,000,000.00. Its deposits exceed $54,000,000.00. It has gained in deposits during the period July 17, 1918, to July 17, 1919, over $11,000,000.00. Its subscriptions together with those of the Northwestern Trust Company on their own account and for their clients for Liberty Bonds, Victory Notes and United States Certificates of Indebtedness, since the United States entered the war, were over $64,000,000.00.

Adams, a rancher who owns a 180-acre ranch about seven miles out of Miles City, Mont. last Tuesday; and, despite the fact that, he was from the wild and wooly west, he proved himself to be right up to date on the very important subjects that confront all loyal Americans at this time. As all colored men should be, he was much interested in the coming presidential election as he feels that the colored vote will cut a considerable figure in the outcome. He was well posted on the candidates already mentioned for president, but gives it as his humble opinion that in the person of Hon. John J. Ashe, for ten years a representative in Congress from La Crosse, Wis., the can be found a man that will fill the bill viewed from any angle. He said he expected to get into the coming campaign and do his bit if he had to dispose of his ranch to do so. The interview was very refreshing. He was a guest at Hotel Lminn during his stay in the city. Mrs. T. H. Lyles, who each summer season is one of the foremost in entertaining worthy visitors to our city, is still maintaining her reputation in that line. On last Tuesday she entertained the visitors with a splendid auto drive to various points of attraction in and out of our city. The party comprised Mrs. Alice Gooden and daughter of Nome, Alaska, who are the house guests of Mrs. C. E. James, Central avenue; Mrs. Callie McDaniels, of Oakland, Cal., who is visiting Mrs. P. H. Anderson, Marion street; Mrs. C. W. Allen, Sr., of Mobile, Ala., house guest of Mrs. E. J. Johnson, St. Anselm, Iowa; Mrs. C. W. Allen, Jr., of Falls, Ia., the guest of Mrs. N. Walter Golem, Carroll avenue; Mrs. Lucy Harris, Hudson, Kau., guest of Mrs. W. R. Dyer, St. Albans avenue; Mrs. Emery Wilson, Toledo, Ohio, guest of Mrs. W. J. Alston, Iglehart avenue; Mrs. Jennie Sykes, Evanston, and Miss Lizzie Brown, Chicago, guests of Mesdame W. R. Godette and F. D. McCracken, Albemarle street. After the drive the party was taken to the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lyles, 678 St. Anthony avenue, and were enthanced with a grand musicale, in which numbers were rendered by Mrs. O. A. Weir, Belle Salter-Tyler, Prof. W. A. Weir, and Mrs. Lyles. After the musicale jointy refreshments were served. Mrs. T. H. Lyles was assisted by Mesdames W. R. Godette, F. D. McCracken, P. H. Anderson, J. E. Johnson, BLANCH Goins, C. E. James and Miss Lucella James. All enjoyed the occasion hugely and were unanimous in declaring Mrs. Lyles a charming hostess. WHAT KIND OF BEE ARE YOU? By Elbert W. Gilles. I know a bee, "A used to be," A very worthy man is he; But what he's going now to be, Is not apparent yet to me. I know a bee, "A going to be," A very worthy man is he; But what he's going to do or be, Is not apparent yet to me.
