"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. THE JIMCROW ARMY. Even under present conditions, the United States Army, so far as it relates to the colored people, is a jim crow affair. Colored men are compelled to enlist in the four "colored" regiments—two infantry and two cavalry—in the regular army. What this segregation meant was shown during the world war when colored men were rushed through the country in jim crow cars, trained in jim crow camps, all the while being subjected to indignities and insults. This treatment reached its acme when they were in France, even on the firing line. Their·treatment forms one of the blackest pages in the history of that famous conflict to "make the world safe for democracy." It is now said that the War Department intends to further jimcrowize its valiant colored soldiers and humiliate and degrade its citizenry by taking the colored regiments of New York, Illinois, Massachusetts and put them into a separate division of the Federalized National Guard. If this is true, it will be the worst blow ever aimed at the rights of colored citizens, because it takes colored men out of their proper places as citizens of their respective states and forces them into an inferior status which does not apply to other groups of Americans, such as Germans, Irish, Russians, Poles, Greeks, Lithuanians, Serbians, Scotch, Italians, Austrians, French, Spanish, etc. and not even to Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, Filipinos, South Sea Islanders and other colored races. It would be an insult to the loyalty and patriotism of the colored people. The colored people of the United States ought to protest through the N. A. A. C. P., the National Equal Rights League, the National Race Congress and every other organization which stands for justice, and every individual ought to make a protest to the President, the Secretary of War and to his Senator and Congressman, to prevent, if possible, the consummation of this wrong. THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM HOME OF W. J. ALSTON 675 Iglehart Ave., St. Paul. vention now in session at Baton Rouge had a little tussle over a "race purity" ordinance a few days ago. It read: "The legislature shall enact necessary legislation to guard and preserve race purity." The women defeated the proposition by a large vote. The principal reason given by the female opposition was that it would be a bad advertisement for the state and make it appear to non-residents that it was a troublesome question and that it was difficult to prevent white women from marrying black men. There may have been other reasons which the ladies did not care to divulge—perhaps some of them were colored and knew it. Louisiana is a state in which there "aint no sich animal" as race purity. Those who are familiar with the facts says that probably three-fourths of the native born so-called white people have more or less Negro blood in their veins. The mixing has been going on for more than 300 years, and it still continues in spite of laws to prevent it. On the day that the ordinance was considered by the constitutional convention a blood controversy case was being tried in one of the courts in New Orleans, and when the plaintiff demanded a "blood test" the sage judge suggested that it would "be better to submit the matter to the ouija board." CARRAWAYS LITTLE JOKE. One Carraway, a Democratic United States Senator from Arkansas, one of the states in the Southern murder tier, unconsciously perpetrated a little joke when he introduced a bill to prohibit enlistment of colored men in the army or navy. Of course Carraway did not mean to be funny—he put the bill in to please the red necks of "Rackensack" He knows it can not pass. But the joke is there just the same, because colored Americans are already barred from both army nad navy except on a jimcrow basis. Although a resident of one of the states, a colored man can not enter the militia of that state on the same basis as other citizens. He must get into a segregated unit and then into the U. S. army through the jimcrow division of the Federalized National Guard. If he wishes to enter the regular army he must go into a segregated regiment. If a young colored man happens to read one of the lying advertisements published by the navy, calling attention to the enlistment "to travel and see the world," or "honorable advancement," or "chance for a great career," and with loyalty and patriotism in his breast he endeavors to enlist, he is informed by the not invariably polite enlistment officer that his only chance is as a mess attendant, which translated means a servant. This is the way loyal colored citizens are treated by a lying nation which boasts of its democracy, humanity and Christianity. "TEACH 'EM! THOSE GIRLS TAUGHT ME." Mr. Stanley E. Bailey, formerly of San Francisco, whose present address is the Cook county jail, Illinois, is charged with conducting a class in crap-shooting at the exclusive Hotel del Monte, where many of the prominent society leaders spent thousands of dollars in a scientific investigation of the law of averages. It seems that Mr. Bailey, who by the way is a white man taught the women how to shoot craps but not how to shoot them as well as he did. Since Bail ess, so, dhn delie- d-v-e HOME OF C. A. AND H. W. SCHUCK 665 University Ave., St. Paul. --- ey's departure they have attempted in vain to master the wrist technique so essential to medal play with the rolling bones. San Francisco officers will escort Mr. Bailey back to the Golden Gate, where he may be required to explain his tricks of penmanship. Mr. Bailey will be asked also about the disappearance of an $8,000 automobile, property of one of the fashionable and enthusiastic crap-shooters and concerning the failure of certain San Francisco banks to honor sundry checks left to meet hotel bills. Mr. Bailey in his cell scoffed at the suggestion that he had acted as mentor of the society women of California in matters of seven and eleven and such like. "They didn't need any teaching," he declared. The society women there carry dice in their handbags all the time and spend their spare moments shooting craps. "Teach 'em! Those girls taught me." HATE BREEDING HEADLINES. The first edition of the Chicago Sunday Tribune, dated May 15, 1921, which was sold on the streets of that city Saturday night, May 14, and of course had a comparatively limited circulation, contained on its first page an article describing a murder, bearing the headlines: Evidently the alert city editor did not wish to overlook a chance to follow the fixed policy of the Tribune of making colored people odious in the eyes of their fellow citizens, for when the final edition, which is delivered Sunday morning at the homes of the majority of the inhabitants of the city, appeared, the first line had been changed to read: NEGROES KILL If the alleged murders had been committed by Jews, Germans or Irish they would not have stressed the fact or race, nationality or religion in the headlines thus arousing race hatred. CATT'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION. The Rev. Sidney J. Catts, Baptist minister, made governor of Florida in 1916 to "redeem the state," was arrested in Albany, Ga., as a fugitive from justice. He had a "billy" in his pocket which he was reaching for when he was nabbed by the sheriff. The Rev. Mr. Catts was indicted at Pensacola, Fla., recently on charges of bribery and peonage. The Indictment by a Federal grand jury charged that Catts after pardoning two colored convicts forced them to work on one of his farms in West Florida. He had previously been indicted for accepting $700 for a pardon for a prisoner serving a life term for murder. HAITI SPEAKS. Commenting on the Memoir of the Delegates to the United States of the Haitian Patriotic Union, outlining the history of the American Occupation of Haiti, which was presented to the State Department and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently, The Nation, the great national weekly which has shown so much interest in matters pertaining to the colored people, says: "No graver indictment of an American administration has ever been made than is contained in this temperately written memorial. The appended list of atrocities it is difficult for an American to read without shame and horror. Murder of women and children, wholesale killing of prisoners, torture with red-hot irons, the "water cure," arson, robbery, violence of every kind—they constitute abp --- and everlasting stain on American honor. If this report does not arouse the American people then its conscience is indeed dead." HAS THE K,K,K. BACKING OF U. S? HAS THE K.K.R. BACKING OF U.S. The 700 aviators who fought in the world war have organized a fraternal organization to be known as "The Knights of the Air." A petition was sent to Col. William J. Simmons, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan asking him to head the organization. The petition to Col. Simmons was read by Major Simmons was at Atlanta at a closed meeting of the Ku Klux Klan, and he stated that the interest 'government officials have given full indorsement to the plan. The petition contained the names of General Pershing and Maj-Gen. Charles T. Menoher, chief of the air service. Maj. Reed G. Landis, son of Judge K- M. Landis, was unanimously elected vice commander. In explaining the service. Maj. Landis said the organization is to be a means of bringing together the fliers, "with the added lure of the mysticism that might come through dreaming of a white-garbed figure, masked and hooded riding through the clouds to duel, if necessary for chivalry or for the honor and integrity of the nation." The foregoing quotation from Maj. Landis sounds like the bunk giver out by the K. K. K. Is the U. S. government backing the Ku Klux Klan? FORD AND ROSENWALD. Henry Ford and Julius Rosenwald are types of rich men who imagine that their ability to make dollars gives them the right force their fool theories on other Americans. Ford's attack on the Jews through his personal organ, The Dearborn Independent, is an infamous thing. If can do no good and its only effect will be to arouse latent race prejudice against a people that has been oppressed for thousands of years, and yet has made good. The majority of the Jews in the United States are good loyal citizens. Julius Rosenwald, a Jew of enormous wealth has spent hundreds of thousands of dollar to finance jim-crow Y. M. C. A.'s. He seems to forget the intolerance, hatred and massacres from which the Jews have suffered through the ages and in order to gain the plaudits of prejudiced Caucasian Christians (?) and get their orders for his mail order house, he does not hesitate to use his dollars to lower the status of colored people—for that's what segregated Y. M. C. A.'s mean. Isn't it ridiculous to imagine a Jew interested in Christianity? Of course, it's "good beessness." ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican of Missouri, has introduced a bill in Congress providing that persons accused of lynching shall be tried in Federal instead of State courts, and that those found guilty of participating in lynchings shall suffer the death penalty. Every one ought to get behind this bill and push its passage. It is infinitely better than the McCormick bill which authorizes a commission to "study" lynching. No study is necessary; the facts are patent. Minnesota has done her part by enacting an anti-lynching law. Now give us a national law INTER-RACIAL COMITY. THE APPEAL is not particularly enthusiastic about inter-racial councils and believes they are absolutely unnecessary in the North. They may be necessary in the South, but there is the ever present danger that jim-crow colored men will get on the board and surrender the rights of the people. The Crisis-in the May issue gives this good advice in the matter: "Meantime, may we not advise our inter-racial friends,—do not fill your committees with 'pussy-footers' like Robert Moton or 'white-folks' niggers' like Isaac Fisher. Get more real men who dare to look you in the eye and speak the truth and who refuse to favor and lie. An ounce of truth outweighs a ton of impudence. Do not seek to mislead or lull by ancient platitudes and generalities. Let your 'black mammy' sleep and show your 'best friendship' by deeds, not words. Do not dodge or duck. Face the fundamental problems: the Vote, the 'Jim-Crow' car, Peonage and Mob-law." A QUESTION OF STATUS. The Monitor of Omaha, prints under the above heading, an editorial which is so logical and conclusive that we publish it in full: "Well meaning people cannot understand why the American of color objects to being set apart by himself. They seem to think that he is not satisfied with his own people and is therefore trying to force himself into places and among people who do not want him. This is to miss the whole point. It is simply a question of status. He objects to being singled out and set apart and denied privileges inherent in American citizenship because he knows that such procedure gives him a status of inferiority, which no self-respecting American citizen can accept. He is either an American citizen or he is not. The Constitution of the United States considers him an American citizen, American practice in the denial of civil rights denies him this status. Which is right, the Constitution which guarantees full rights of citizenship, or custom which denies them?" JAZZ. Jazz music is popular with many people, because they have not been trained to appreciate music of the better kind. Those who ought to know say, that jazz music is detrimental to both morals and health. Shakespeare said that "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast." Well, jazz was tried on the animals of the New York zoo the other day and the monkey registered emotion, but of a rather savage kind. Then the latest jazz was banged into the ears of lions and their mates. All hopped to their feet, with fur bristling. The hippopotamus wrecked the experiment by diving into her tank and shutting out the racket. The elephants seemed to tremble with rage. Now comes Dr. Robertson, Health Commissioner of Chicago, who says the pace that kills is the kind set to the jazz band. And the man or woman who is charmed by the indigo toots of the saxophone will fill a dancer's grave. "Get back to rhythm," counsels the doctor. "If you must dance and it is great exercise—waltz. Nothing is more beautiful or beneficial." "There are a few things the human frame is not equipped to do; one of them is the shivering, quivering, razzle-dazzle, nerve-racking and current form of amusement obtained by keeping time to the screams and whistles of modern jazz orchestras. Consider the cat. Tabby has more endurance than any other animal. Why? Because she is the most rhythmical animal in the world. Even its purr is rhythical. If a cat tried to shimmy every night or to toddle and do the lame giraffe it would die in no time. Music is one of the best preventives of nervous disorders, I know. It's a home necessity. But jazz music isn't. If you hear enough of it, it will set you crazy." A religious paper published in London "deplores the visit of Crown Prince Hirohito of Japan, because of its harmful effects on U. S. opinion and because of the Japanese hatred of our religion." Can you beat that? eCrainly there is no reason why the Japanese should love Christianity. The colored people of the U. S. have accepted Christianity, but Caucasian Christianity has done far more to degrade them to uplift the race. So-called Christians in the U. S. enacted the exclusion and land laws. The Japs are no fools. The dispatches say the Igorrotes told the Wood-Forbes mission, now in the Philippines, that they did not care for freedom, but preferred U. S. rule. The Igorrotes are dog-eaters and a doggone dirty ignorant lot. The intelligent Filipinos desire the freedom and independence which the United States promised them. Here in the U. S. there is a class of colored men who eat chicken instead of dog, but are lower than the dog-eaters because they cringe and fawn and say they do not wish their rights. The Japs are the people. They are a colored race, but they do not allow other people to put anything over them without a grand kick. They will renew at an early date their protets against the laws of California and other states prohibiting them from owning land. Now, why should not colored citizens of the United States protest against laws which deny or abride their rights? "Ameriac is looked to for the moral leadership of the world more than to any other country in the world," says the Rev. Mr. Atkinson, secretary of the World Church Alliance, who has just returned from Europe. The European people have another think coming. If the U. S. is to assume the moral leadership, God help the world. "Most all the modern theories of democracy and social reorganization are fond in Plato," says Horace J. Bridges, professor in Chicago University. We think Mr. Bridges is mistaken as we can not recall that Plato advocated the jimcrow system now in vogue in this alleged democracy. A correspondent writing from the Philippines says that the Filipinos have made great progress in playing baseball and are therefore fit for self-government. There are thousands of good baseball players in the South but in many places they are prevented from voting if they happen to be colored. The U. S. through Secretary of State Hughes asks equity it grants in oil rights of the world. An open field and favors to is Hughes' stand. That would be a good principle to apply to ALL the citizens of the country. Education in Georgia is about a 20 to 1 shot for the colored child — that is the per capita for colored is $1 while the white child has $20 expended on his education in the public schools of the state. Census reports show that Kentucky has lost about 10 per cent of its colored population. Well, Kentucky is a good state to leave. We were born in Kentucky and know.
