SLAUGHTER INNOCENT Brutal Regime Charged—Three Thousand Innocents Slaughtered by Mississippi Methods—"Crackers" in Clover—Jobs for Deserving Democrats—American Press Silent—The N. A. A. C. P. Investigates—Read and Shudder. VOL. XLI NO. 15 SLA WHITE HELL IN B U. S. MIL Brutal Regime Charged—Three by Mississippi Methods—"C serving Democrats—American Investigates—Read and Shu Haiti is ruled today by martial law dispensed by Americans. There are nearly three thousand American Marines in Haiti, and American control is maintained by their bayonets. In the five years of American occupation more than three thousand innocent Haitians have been slaughtered. It is a people of Negro blood, who have produced a Christophe and a Dessalines, who have given to the world one of its greatest statesmen, Toussaint L'ouverture, who have behind them a history of which they have every right to be proud, that are now threatened with the loss of their independence; that have now fallen not only under American political domination, but under the domination of American prejudice. There are three grounds on which the attempt is made to justify American intervention and the military occupation of Haiti. The first is that such a state of anarchy and bloodshed had been reached as could no longer be tolerated by the civilized world; the second, that the Haitians have demonstrated absolute unfitness to govern themselves; and the third, that great benefits have been brought to Haiti by American control. Alleged Anarchy. As to the first: The United States Government has wished to make it appear that it was forced on purely humane grounds to intervene in Haiti because of the tragic overthrow and death of President Vilbrun Guillaume, July 27-28, 1915, and that this Government has been compelled to keep a military force in Haiti since that time to pacify the country and maintain order. The fact is that for nearly a year before the coup d'etat which overthrew Guillaume, the United States had been bringing pressure on Haiti to compel that country to submit to American control. Three diplomatic attempts had been made by three different missions. It was in May, 1915, that the third attempt was made. The United States sent to Haiti Mr. Paul Fuller Jr., with the title "Envoy Extraordinary," on a special mission to apprise the Haitian Government that the Guillaume administration would not be recognized by the United States unless Haiti agreed to sign a covenant similar to the one which this country had with Santo Domingo. The two governments were interchanging views on this proposition when the events of July 27-28 took place. On July 27, President Guillaume fled to the French legation. On the same day, political prisoners in the prison at Port-au-Prince were executed. On the next morning Guillaume was killed, and that afternoon an American man-of-war dropped anchor at Port-au-Prince and landed American forces. Immediately after the killing of Guillaume Port-au-Prince was as quiet as though nothing had happened, and it should be borne in mind that through it all the life of not a single American citizen had been taken or jeopardized. The overthrow of Guillaume and its attending consequences did not constitute the cause of American intervention in Haiti; it merely furnished an opportunity for which this Government was waiting. There never have been the grounds for intervention in Haiti that there have been in Mexico. Fitness to Rule. The unfitness of the Haitian people to govern themselves has been the subject of propaganda for the last The Washington Bee century. Books and pamphlets and articles have been written, and lectures have been delivered many times over to prove that the Haitians not only were incapable of advancement, but were steadily retrograding into barbarism. An observation of the city of Port-au-Prince is sufficient to refute this oft-made assertion. Port-au-Prince is a clean, well-paved, well-lighted city. Its newer business buildings are constructed of concrete and brick. The wooden shanties which one so often sees in magazines and books illustrating the business section of the town are relics of the old French regime. The residential section of Port-au-Prince is built on the slopes of the hills that rise back of the city. The homes of the well-to-do people are beautiful villas with well-kept grounds; and there are hundreds of them. This section of Port-au-Prince is superior to the residential section in any of the cities of the Central American republics. In fact, Port-au-Prince is one of the most beautiful of the tropical cities which I have seen. Haiti has been independent for more than a century, and if the people had been steadily retrograding into barbarism all of that time, Port-au-Prince today would be an aggregation of filth and decay instead of the city that it is. In Port-au-Prince one will meet Americans who, in response to the exclamation, "Why, I am surprised to see what a fine city Port-au-Prince is!" will answer, "Yes; but you should have seen it before the Occupation." The implication here is that the American occupation is responsible for making Port-au-Prince a paved and well-kept city. It is true that only one or two of the principal streets of Port-au-Prince were paved at the time of the intervention—five years ago—but the work had already been begun and contracts for paving the whole city had already been let by the Haitian Government. The American occupation did not pave, and has nothing to do with the paving of a single street in Port-au-Prince. The regulations instituted by the American health officer may have something to do with the regularity with which the streets are swept, but my observation showed me that the Haitians have a "sweeping habit," which they must have acquired long years before the American occupation. I made a five-day trip through the interior, traveling day and night in an automobile. I noticed in the early morning hours, as I passed cabin after cabin in the rural districts, the women carefully sweeping the yards until they were as clean as a floor. In fact, nowhere in the rural districts of Haiti did I see the filth and squalor which may be observed in any backwoods town in our own South. The smaller cities of Haiti are replicas of Port-au-Prince. Whatever the Haitians may not be, they are a clean people. Many may be dressed in rags and tatters, but the rags and tatters are periodically washed. A filthy Haitian is a rare exception. On this point, I recall a remark made by a white American who conducts one of the biggest mercantile businesses in Haiti. He was speaking to me about the cleanliness of the Haitians, and he made an observation which struck me quite forcibly. He showed me statistics to prove that Haiti imports more soap per capita than any country in the world. He told me that three of the largest soap manufacturers in the United States maintain headquarters at Port-au-Prince. WASHINGTON., D. C. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11,1920 Another point in the propaganda which has been so long circulated to prove the unfitness of the Haitians is the statement that the people are congenitally and habitually lazy. Not long ago I saw a magazine article on Haiti, and one of the illustrations was a picture of a Haitian man lying asleep in the sun, and under it was the title, "The Favorite Attitude of Haiti's Citizens." I would wager that the photographer either had to pay or persuade his subject to pose especially for him, because in all of my six weeks in Port-au-Prince, I never saw anybody lying around in the sun asleep. On the contrary, the Haitians are quite a thrifty people. What deceives some observers is the fact that their methods are primitive. The mistake is often made of confounding primitive methods with indolence. Anyone who travels the roads of Haiti will be struck by the sight of scores and hundreds and even thousands of women, boys and girls filing along, mile after mile, with the produce of their farms and gardens on their heads, or loaded on the backs of animals, to dispose of them in the markets of the towns. I do not see how anyone could accuse such people of being lazy. Of course, they might market their stuff more efficiently if they had automobile trucks, but they are willing to walk. For a woman to walk eight or ten miles with a bundle of produce, on her head which may barely realize her a dollar is, undoubtedly, a wasteful expenditure of energy, but it is not a sign of laziness. The Haitian people have also been accused of being ignorant and degraded. They are not degraded. I had ample opportunity to study the people of the cities and the people of the country districts, and I found them uniformly kind, courteous and hospitable, living in a simple and wholesome manner. The absence of crime in Haiti is remarkable, and the morality of the people is strikingly high. Port-au-Prince is a city of more than 100,000, but there is no sign of the prostitution that is so flagrant in many Latin-American cities. I was there for six weeks, and in all that time not a single case of a man being accosted by a woman on the street came to my attention. I heard even from the lips of American Marines tributes to the chastity of the Haitian women. The charge that the Haitians are ignorant is only partly true. They are naturally quick witted and have lively imaginations. The truth, however, is that the great mass of the Haitian people are illiterate. They are perhaps more illiterate than the people of any Latin-American country, but there is a specific reason for this. I had the opportunity of being received into the, homes of the cultured and wealthy people of Port-au-Prince, to attend several of their social affairs and to visit the clubs. Even the most prejudiced writers of Haiti have had to make an exception of this class of Haitians, for they compel it. The majority have been educated in France. They have money. They live in beautiful houses. They are brilliant in conversation and know how to conduct themselves socially. The women dress in fine taste, many of them importing their gowns directly from Paris. Refined people from no part of the world would feel themselves out of place in the best Haitian society. Many of these women are beautiful, and all of them vivacious and chic. I was deeply impressed with the women of Haiti, not only the society women, but the peasant women. I should like to give my impressions, but space will not allow. American "Benefits." The third ground offered as justification is that great benefits have been brought to Haiti by American control., I made an honest effort to find out what things the Americans have done for the benefit of Haiti during the five years of occupation, I found that only three things could be advanced, and they were: The improvement of the public hospital at Port-au-Prince; enforcement of rules of modern sanitation, and the building of the great road from Port-au-Prince to Cape Haitien. The improvement in the hospital is a worthy piece of work, but cannot be made to justify military occupation. The enforcement of certain rules of sanitation is not quite so important as it sounds, for the reason that Haiti, under native rule, has always been a healthy country and never subject to the epidemics which used to sweep the countries circling the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The building of the road from Port-au-Prince to Cape Haitien is a monumental piece of work, but it is doubtful whether the occupation had in mind the building of a great highway for the benefit of Haiti, or the construction of a military road which would facilitate the transportation of troops and supplies from one end of the island to the other. At any rate, the manner of building this road was one of the most brutal blunders made by the American occupation in Haiti. It was built by forced labor. Haitian men were seized on the country roads and taken off their farms and put to work. They were kept in compounds at night and not allowed to go home. They were maltreated, beaten and terrorized. In fact, they were in the same category with the convicts in the Negro chain gangs that are used to build roads in many of our Southern States. It was largely out of the methods of building this road that there arose the need for "pacification." The Haitians rebelled. Many of them made their escape and fled to the hills and armed themselves as best they could for revenge. These refugees make up the greatest part of the "caco" forces, and it has now become the duty and sport of American Marines to hunt these "cacos" with rifles and machine guns. I was seated at table one day in company with an American captain of Marines and I heard him describe a "caco" hunt. He told how they finally came upon a crowd of natives having a cock fight and how they let them have it with machine guns. There was one accomplishment which I did expect to find. I expected to find that the Americans had at least made an attempt to develop and improve the system of public education in Haiti. This, at least, they have done in other countries where they have taken control. But I found that the American occupation has not advanced public education in Haiti a single step: No new school buildings have been erected or new schools established. Not a single Haitian youth has been sent away for training, and not a single American teacher, white or colored, has been sent to Haiti to teach. The United States has abbsolutely failed in Haiti. It has failed to accomplish any results that justify its military occupation of that country, and it has made it impossible for those results ever to be accomplished because of the distrust, bitterness and hatred which it has engendered in the Haitian people. Brutalities and atrocities on the part of American Marines have occurred with sufficient frequency to bring about deep resentment and terror on the part of the Haitian people. There have been needless killings of natives by Marines. I was told that some Marines had cut a notch in the stocks of their rifles for each native killed. Just before I left Port-au-Prince, an American Marine caught a Haitian boy stealing sugar on the wharf, and instead of arresting him, he battered his brains out with the butt of his rifle. I learned from the lips of American Marines themselves of a number of cases of rape on Haitian women by Marines. But perhaps the worst phase of American brutality in Haiti is, after all, not in the individual cases of cruelty, but in the American attitude. This attitude may be illus- THE DUDLEY-MURRAY UNITED THEATRE CORPORATION Industrial Savings Bank, 11th and You, N. W. Until Further Notice trated by a remark made by a Marine officer at another time when I was seated at table with some Americans. We were discussing the Haitian situation when he said, "The trouble with this business is that some of these people with a little money and education think they are as good as we are." The irony of his remark struck me quite forcibly since I had already met a number of cultured Haitians in their homes. The Americans have carried American prejudice to Haiti. Before their advent there was no such thing in social circles as race prejudice. Social affairs were attended on the same footing by natives and white foreigners. The men in the American occupation, when they first went down, also attended Haitian social affairs, but now they have set up their own social circle and established their own club, to which no Haitian is invited, no matter what his social standing is. The Haitians now retaliate by never inviting Americans to their social affairs or their clubs. Of course, there are some semi-social affairs at which Haitians and occupation officials meet, but there is a uniform rule among Haitian ladies not to dance with any American official. A great deal of this prejudice has been brought about because the administration has seen fit to send Southern white men to Haiti. For instance, the man at the head of the customs service is a man who was formerly a parish clerk in Louisiana. The man who is second in charge of the customs service is a man who was formerly Deputy Collector of Customs at Pascagoula, Miss. The man who is Superintendent of Public Instruction was formerly a school teacher in Louisiana. It seems like a practical joke to send a man from Louisiana, where they have not good schools, even for white children, down to Haiti to organize schools for black children. And the mere idea of white Mississippiians going down to civilize Haitians and teach them law and order would be laughable except for the fact that the attempt is actually being made to put the idea into execution. These Southerners have found Haiti to be the veritable promised land of "jobs for deserving Democrats." Many of these men, both military and civilian officials, have moved their families to Haiti. In Port-au-Prince many of them live in fine villas. Many of them who could not keep a hired girl in the United States have a half-dozen servants. All of the civilian heads of departments have automobiles furnished at the expense of the Haitian Government. These automobiles seem to be used chiefly to take the women and children out for an airing each afternoon. It is interesting to see with what disdain, as they ride around, they look down upon the people who pay for the cars. It is also interesting to note that the Haitian officials and even the cabinet officers, who are officially the superiors of these various heads, have no cars. For example, the Louisiana superintendent has a car, but the Haitian Minister of Public Instruction has none. What the Washington administration should have known was that in order to do anything worth while for Haiti, it was necessary to send men there who were able and willing to treat Negroes as men, and not because of their ability to speak poor French, or their knowledge of "handling niggers." The United States has failed in Haiti. It should get out as well and as quickly as it can and restore to the Haitian people their independence and sovereignty. The colored people of the United States should be interested in seeing that this is done, for Haiti, is the one best chance that the Negro has in the world to prove that he is capable of the highest self-government. If Haiti should ultimately lose her independence, that one best chance will be lost.-James Weldon Johnson, in the September Crisis. DELEGATES TO THE B. M. C. By Charles H. Turner. The Twentieth B. M.

McARTHUR. Dr. and Mrs. G. V. Smith, of 600 Tenth street northwest, entertained at dinner last week their townsman, Mr. J. S. McArthur, of Bermuda, West Indies. Mr. McArthur is one of the most distinguished, and well-known subjects of the British Isles. He was formerly mayor of his town and is at present a member of the legislature. He is a lawyer by profession. While the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Smith much social attention was given him. He was given an auto ride around the city and many points of interest were shown him. He returned to New York last week, preparatory to returning home. Bert Williams, accredited by the largest majority as being "the funniest man in the world," wrote and used to sing a song, the burden of which was the discomfiture of one Sam Johnson, who was out one night in quest of the gay and festive possum. The elusive animal had scaled a tree and tried to conceal itself in the branches. Samuel followed his quarry, but found that the object of his desires had gotten so far out on the limb that close contact would bring about a precipitation in which Samuel himself would participate. Consequently he sent a small boy for a saw, and when he returned, proceeded to cut the limb upon which the opossum had sought asylum. It was a dark night, and Sam did not know that he was sawing loose not only the 'possum's refuge, but the very limb he himself was standing on. He finally dropped, however, and then the denouement. Bert Williams applies this to the Socialistic propaganda now being held out to the colored people of the country. While reaching out for the vagaries that the Socialists, at the behest of the Democrats, are promising to the Negro, those of the race who attempt to saw them into realization are really sawing the "limb they are standing on." the principles of Republicanism. Destroying military associations that had obtained in Massachusetts for fifty years, when Secretary Baker refused to permit, Company L. (colored organization) to rejoin its old regiment, was generally remarked throughout the country, but this disposition to discriminate against the colored soldier is nothing new with the Democratic administration. Studied humiliation, either inspired or condoned by the War Department, was the rule in France, and the discouragement of combatant troops of colored soldiers was generally followed. It is being remembered in Washington that when the administration was having its brushes with Mexico, official cognizance of white valor and black valor varied in remarkable degree. Huerta had refused to salute the flag, and the United States Marines landed in Vera Cruz. Several white boys met their death, and when their bodies were returned to this country, the President very properly journeyed to Brooklyn, to do honor to their memory. His words over those brave boys were classic and fraught with tears. Later, when the brave black boys of the Tenth Cavalry, after performing deeds of heroism striving to save the lives of their white commanders, fell in defense of the same flag, it is said that the Democratic administration treated the incident in a different manner. The colored boys were brought to Washington for interment with the honors of war at Arlington. Friends had assembled to follow them to their graves. It is being told upon good authority that Joseph Tumulty requested the people who had the arrangements in hand to have the funeral procession go out the deserted streets so that the dirge would not disturb the slumbers of the occupant of the White House. DEMOCRATS FOSTERING SOCIALISTIC PROPAGANDA AMONG NEGRO VOTERS A prominent Democratic leader in the Middle West is authority for the assertion that much of the work of propaganda carried on by so-called Socialists among the colored people has the actual financial support of the Democratic party. "Our experience in endeavoring to get the colored people to vote the Democratic ticket has been profitable only to this extent: We have learned that it is no use," said this Democrat. "It is hard to control the elements in our party who are hard-boiled against the Negro. In fact, it can not be done. The managers of the party figure this question upon a simple basis of profit and loss. The South with its solid vote for any Democratic candidate is worth more to us than all the Negroes on earth. Consequently, even those of us who feel kindly toward the Negro, are led to throw him into the discard in order to satisfy that element of the party that is worth 151 electoral votes to us without costing us any effort or money. "Some activities have been inaugurated to interest the Negro in the Socialist party. Well, of course, every time we can get any Negro to vote any ticket aside from the Republican ticket, it is in our favor. In this election, as in all other recent national elections, Socialist votes have always helped the Democrats. With the Socialists out of the contest in 1916, we could not have won the election of Wilson." Here is the brutal frankness that the Democrats hand out to the colored people. There is no room in their party for the Negro, but they are trying to provide a little side-show in the Socialistic party in order that their own chestnuts may be pulled out of the fire and withholding the vote of the colored men from the Republican party. SEGREGATION ELIMINATED BY REPUBLICAN PLANK Complete Reorganization Promised by Plank in Republican Platform to Federal Department Machinery. Colored Employees to Find Conditions Improved in Their Official Work. One of the shortest planks in the Republican platform is one of the most significant and refers to the reorganization of Federal departments and bureaus. Aside from the pledge being marked with the sound business sense that has characterized the Republican idea of administration of public economies, it will reach one of the sources of racial humiliation that the present administration has visited upon its colored employees, the evil of segregation. Reorganization with a view to consolidation, the elimination of "duplication, delays and overlapping of work," means that this humiliation will be forever dispelled. Of course, the Democrats have absolutely no conception of economy. Their party has never done anything in a constructive way. It is essentially a party of penury, and as such depends upon its brief authority to destroy what others have accumulated. Segregation, the detestable practice born of prejudice, that makes a colored clerk or other employee isolated from others engaged in the same work; the provision of separate toilets and other quarters for a man or woman because he happens to be colored, is an extravagance in itself. The Democrats wasted the public money to live up to their tenets that one Government employee should not be treated with the same consideration as others of a different color. Segregation is not only a crime against a faithful race but a crime against economy, and the people of this country, treated to a saturnalia of waste, are insisting that their money be no longer thrown away just for the simple purpose of satisfying the unwholesome race hatred of a crowd of Southern officials who desire to impress upon the country the mannerisms and methods of their section SMITH TALKS ABOUT "OUR SCHOOLS" Accepts Dr. Simon's Invitation to Speak to School Board. At the meeting of the Board of Education recently, when Dr. Simon, president, asked if anyone desired to say anything in the interest of the schools, Mr. George C. Smith, chairman of the Committee on Schools for the Central Northwest Citizens' Association, rose and said in substance that the best interest of the schools demanded the retirement of Roscoe C. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Colored Schools. Dr. Simon quickly informed him that Dr. Balfou had sole charge of the Bruce case and that nothing said by anyone would influence the Board to endeavor to force Dr. Balfou to take up the case of Mr. Bruce until he himself saw fit to do so; that he hoped that we understood each other. Mr. Smith replied that we perfectly understood each other; that he had not risen to make any such request; that he had several times filed charges against Mr. Bruce for his association; that he had at no time dealt in anything concerning the various rumors relating to Mr. Bruce's misconduct; that he had charged his lack of education, his inefficiency, his maladministration of the schools; that these charges had been taken to the Senate committee, where they were used at the same time, he said, another most serious charge was filed with the Senate committee not to be used in the record nor to be given to the public; that he did not wish to give out that which would prevent Mr. Bruce from securing something to do outside of the public schools of Washington; that the information contained in that charge had been given to Dr. Van Schaick and also to Dr. Balfou almost immediately upon his arrival in this city two months ago, and that he expected Dr. Balfou to take up that matter at his earliest opportunity because of the seriousness of the charge and expected to hear something today, being greatly disappointed that Dr. Balfou had nothing to say concerning it.

NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL Many Well-Known Educators Added to Faculty—Dr. Shepard's Progress. Durham, N. C., September 8. With campus, class rooms and dormitories wearing a look of welcome and members of the faculty returning, the National Training School in this city is ready to re-open on Tuesday, September 21. Among the new members of the faculty are Rev. Dr. E. M. Brawley, who has resigned the pastorate of the White Rock Baptist Church of this city to become dean of the theological department; Prof. Palmer, of Wilberforce; R. H. Hampton, of Cornell University, who will head the science department; Prof. D. J. Jordan, formerly of Kittrell College; who will preside over the academic department; Miss Ruth Rowan, a graduate of Fisk University, who heads the music department, and Mrs. Eva Connick, who has been matron at the Lawrenceville (Va.) Industrial School for twelve years, who will enter upon her duties as matron, having resigned from the former institution. Prof. O'Kelley, dean of the National Training School, is a well-known educator and is considered an authority on school curriculum. Dr. James E. Shepard, president of this fast-growing institution, never tires of service to the school or to the race. He was re-elected president of the North Carolina State Teachers' Association at the recent annual meeting and was also selected to deliver the educational address at the Baptist State Sunday School Convention held at High Point, N. C., in August. Dr. Shepard's address is said to have been the most comprehensive yet heard on the subject at High Point. Rural school teachers as well as those teaching the higher grades got a broader vision of their calling and a more adequate knowledge of the history of education and its psychological analysis of the subject. TWO-DAY DRIVE FOR LOW FARE FOR SCHOOL PUPILS To the Washington Public: During Monday and Tuesday, September 6 and 7, the parents and friends of the 60,000 school children of Washington are requested to write to Commissioner Charles W. Kutz, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, urging that the street car companies be directed to grant a lower car fare for school children, the same to be not less than six tickets for 25 cents, and to be put in opera- tion on the opening day of school, September 20. Letters received by the writer from the president of the Board of Education, numerous civic and citizens' associations, and the expressed attitude of the local newspapers which have the welfare of the citizens at heart, are unanimous in their support to obtain relief for the heavily burdened parents of school children. The Capital Traction Company has expressed a sympathetic willingness to consider a lower car-fare rate for school children, if requested by the Utilities Commission. At 7½ cents a trip, it costs 75 cents a week for a child to ride to and from school on the street, cars. At the old rate of six tickets for a quarter, it costs less than 42 cents a week. The difference of 33 cents a week for a school year of thirty-nine weeks is a material item-of expense in the average family, and an indisputable hardship to a very large number of families striving to keep more than one child regularly in school. During the two-day drive all parents and citizens friendly to school children and interested in their education are requested to flood the Utility Commission with letters urging a lower car fare for school children, the same to be not less than six tickets for 25 cents and to become effective at the opening of the school term. THE TASK BEFORE The one task before the colored voters of the country is to help break the solid South. This task was hard enough before women received their right to vote, but now that the Southern women, and this means the Southern white women, are empowered to vote, the task of the colored voter becomes more serious and more difficult. It is a foregone conclusion that the white women of the South will stand solidly with the Democratic party and vote for a solid South. The one hope of the Democrats now is the Southern white women. Everybody knows that the same vicious disfranchisement that has been visited upon the Negro, man of the South will be visited upon the Negro women of the South. Everything that can be done legally and illegally will, be done by the South to prevent the colored women from voting. The colored voters of the North must prepare to meet this new emergency, and register every man and woman and prepare him and her for the ballot, so that the efforts of the solid South will be counteracted by the increased efforts of the colored men and women of the North. To Register, First Duty. Word has gone out from Washington that Woodrow Wilson and Governor Cox are in complete accord. This means that Cox has agreed to underwrite the policy of Woodrow Wilson and his Democratic henchmen, who have kept the solid South in the saddle at Washington and the colored voters of the country disfranchised and completely suppressed politically and economically. The first and plain duty is to register. Too much stress can not be placed upon the importance of registering everybody in every State where everybody enjoys the right to vote. If the Negroes of the Northern States will see to it that they themselves register, the so-called doubtful States of the North can be turned into the Republican ranks with a telling majority. This must be done in order to overcome the solid South, which not only refuses to be broken, but insists upon becoming more solid than ever. That the South intends to put all Negroes in fear is clearly indicated by the organization of the Ku Klux Klan in the Southern States. The following appeared in the Florida Times Union, under date of August 2, 1920: The Ku Klux Klan. "Work of organizing branches of Knights of the Ku Klux Klan throughout Florida already has been started and is progressing rapidly, it was announced yesterday. "Organization work already has begun in Jacksonville, Palm Beach, Hastings, Daytona and several other points, it is said, while inquiries, regarding preliminary organizations have been received from Lakeland, Bartow, Palatka and other points in the State. "Representatives of the Klan are proceeding actively with the formation of the Klan in this State, and it is announced that a branch of the Klan will be organized at an early date in every city and town. "The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which is but a reorganization of the order that ran the carpetbagger and the scalawag from the South in the stirring days of the reconstruction ONE OF OUR LEADING NEGRO ENTERPRISES OF THE WORLD PLANT OF THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER CO., INC. TO BE ERECTED IN BALTIMORE, MD. THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER COMPANY. Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of-$5,000 with stock sold at $10.00 per share, is now a corporation capitalized at $100,000.00 with NO SHARES FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE, yet it is understood that a small number of shares have been donated by some of the larger stockholders for certain Dentists and Druggists whose names have already been listed, and will be called on personally in the near future by the President of the Company. The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were selected by the Directors of the Company because of their progressiveness and the great advertising value that their connection will mean in the distribution of this exceptional dentifrice to the race throughout the United States. The demand for the Welters' Tooth Powder has grown so tremendously during the past six months, since advertising in the Chicago Defender, that their manufacturing facilities are entirely too limited, and has forced the management to make immediate arrangements for their larger plant, to be erected in Baltimore, to properly care for the increased business. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points. period and restored to the white people of the South their rightful place in the nation and the management of their own affairs, was formed in Atlanta in November, 1915. "While conditions today are not the same as they were when the original Klan was organized, the need for an organization of this character is just as pressing now as it ever was, according to its founders. "Its announced purpose is to inculcate the sacred principles and noble ideals of chivalry, the development of character, the protection of home and the chastity of womanhood, the exemplification of a pure patriotism, the preservation of American ideals and the maintenance of white supremacy. "Only native-born American citizens who believe in the tenets of the Christian religion and owe no allegiance of any degree or nature to any foreign government, political institution, sect or people are eligible for membership." Negroes Must Vote. If any Negro who reads the above has any doubt in his mind as to the importance of registering and voting, that doubt should be forever dispelled. The only way to kill the Ku Klux Klan and break up the solid South is for every Negro man and woman to register and vote the Republican ticket and thus kill off the solid South together with its vicious Ku Klux Klan. Talking on the street corners will not elect Harding and Coolidge. Preaching in the pulpit will not elect Harding and Coolidge. Articles in the newspapers will not elect Harding and Coolidge. But a united army of workers dedicated to the registration of every man and woman in every State where they are allowed to vote, will elect Harding and Coolidge, and drive the Democratic party back to Dixie and to death. A Profound Warning. One of the profoundest warnings ever issued to the colored people of this country was issued, by the Democratic convention at San Francisco, where it announced to the world that the Democratic party is not interested in lynching; it is not interested in mob law, and is not interested in the Negro nor his welfare. The Democratic party platform is silent on all of these questions, and Governor Cox, who has subscribed to that platform, is significantly as silent. This means that the Negro is not only not wanted in the Democratic party but that the Democratic party does not intend to grant to the Negro those rights which the Constitution of this country and the laws of the States say he shall have. Just as in the past seven years the Democratic party has ignored, insulted, oppressed and discouraged the Negro; so the Demo- cratic party, if it retains control of this nation, will continue to ignore, insult, oppress and discourage the colored Americans of this country. The colored Americans of this country have won their citizenship by blood and sacrifice. It is now very evident that they must defend that citizenship by the intelligent use of the only logical weapon within their reach—the ballot. Let there be no delay. Get registered! Get registered!! Get registered!!! And having registered, vote for Harding and Coolidge and restore the Republican party to control. JOHN T.

He has met with to which Mr. Randolph has been nominated to which a colored man has been nominated the foundation of our Government. In the case of him there was only one colored delegate the singular honor accorded him is a tribute to city and character. The Socialist party of New York and women of the very highest intellects claim to have a fighting chance to win New York in November. It is in the wind that at the next session of Congress the Congress will consider the proposition to increase the pay of members of the Senate and House from $7,500 to $10,000. We are inclined to favor the proposition. It seems quite reasonable. It is conceded on all sides that the purchasing power of the dollar is less than one-half of what it was five years ago. This means that a Congressman's salary of $7,500 will now buy only what $3,750 would buy five years ago, or much less; or that it requires now $15,000 or more to buy what $7,500 did then. There are many reasons why a member of Congress should receive adequate pay. An obvious reason is that he should be removed from the temptation of official corruption. We say this with all due respect. But we hope that the Congressmen will not act selfishly in this matter. There is a large body of Federal employees who have an equal claim to an increase of wages on the ground of the high cost of living and other grounds. Among these are the school teachers of the District of Columbia. If the Congressmen shall receive $10,000, that will be an increase of 25 per cent. The simplest way will be to make this increase by a blanket general bill increasing all Federal salaries 25 per cent. The Congressmen raised their pay from $5,000 to $7,500 not many years ago; consequently, the proposed increase will amount to a 50 per cent increase on what it was not long ago. The pay of Federal employees generally has not been raised in over half a century, although it is known that the value of the dollar has shrunk enormously in that period. The 25 per cent general increase herein suggested should be deemed to be only temporary or provisional so far as Federal employees generally are concerned. It should not interfere with the plans now under consideration for the reclassification of employees and the readjustment of salaries on a scientific basis. By all means let there be an immediate 25 per cent increase of all Federal salaries. A. PHILIP RANDOLPH HONORED.

The office to which Mr. Randolph has been nominated is the highest office to which a colored man has been nominated in the North since the foundation of our Government.

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA When Henry Lincoln Johnson went to Chicago, he seated himself in an upholstered office chair and looked his satellites in the face and soliloquized, as Gloucester did on his return from Bosworth field to hunt for more subjects. He walked into a private room, as old Gloucester, did when he entered the apartment of Henry the Eighth, and strutted about in such a manner that the old king read his mind to him. Of course, Gloucester in a fit of anger stabbed the king and walked out, looking for more lives to destroy. Old Gloucester had vanquished all who came in contact with him, until he met the Earl of Richmond, and then he met his Waterloo. Henry Lincoln Johnson was all right until Emmett-Scott and Jim Cobb went to New York. Like the Earl of Richmond, he corraled his forces and called in Duke Anderson and all other heavyweights and the last thing that was heard of Link Johnson, he, in company with the magnified circulation editor, J. Finley, received a bump that killed father, and Earl Scott, with his forces, put Jimmig Cobb on the throne. This was a great blow to the circulation four-flusher. My good friend, Charles Anderson, is also on the advisory committee as organizer. This must also have been a blow to Link. Of course, Link thought that he was the king of all hearts. If you remember, Link was taken suddenly ill some tinie ago. It was about the time he received this jolt. It was more than the Georgia Peach could stand. Some people have been laboring under the wrong impression about Emmett J. Scott. Those who think that he will not strike back are mistaken. And when he strikes, it is generally a blow that counts you out of the running. There are some people who are under the impression that an easy talking man will not fight. Those kind of men are the most dangerous to handle. Emmett has a quiet way about doing things; but the one he put over on the circulation editor and the Georgia Peach will not soon be forgotten. The School Board met last Thursday evening, and the president of the board has assumed the big job. He didn't seem to give my good friend Smith any consideration before the board. Well, he got his say in at any rate, and I bet you a box of sardines that George will continue his fight until something is done. Dr. Simon may be carrying out the wishes of someone, but I bet you the day will soon come when the rights of the colored people will be respected. *** I am confident that the attack of Cox will make votes for the Republican party.

Age for a list of the Eastern advisory committee members, that was a black eye to Henry Lincoln Johnson, who started out by naming some of the most obsolete and voteless politicians in the United States. Here is the new list which the new leaders named: An advisory committee, made up of colored men, who are to work with the National Republican Committee in getting out colored voters in what is designated as the Eastern District, has been formed. The personnel of the committee follows: Andrew F. Stevens, Pennsylvania, chairman; Robert J. Nelson, Delaware, secretary; Charles W. Anderson, New York, organizer; Fred R. Moore, New York, chairman of publicity committee; Robert L. Vann, Pennsylvania; William H. Lewis and W. C. Matthews, Massachusetts; James A. Cobb and William Houston, District of Columbia; Charles Colbourn, Delaware; Dr. George F. Cannon and Rev. I. W. L. Roundtree, New Jersey; Gilchrist Stewart, New York; Alderman Charles H. Roberts, New York. Dr. Geo. V. Smith kept bachelor's hall last week and the week before. He declared that he could remain home without a housekeeper. His good wife had not been gone a week before he began to lose flesh and saw the need of a good housewife. He missed her all right, and when she returned he was the happiest man in the neighborhood. As a rule he never goes to church, but two Sundays ago he was seen in the "amen corner" and outprayed Parson Maynard, whose parents always made him attend church. TION CURE.

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes "Eat a Plate of Ice Cream Every Day" BUT--Be Sure It's Carry's Delicious Ice Cream Call Lincoln 5900 for special terms to churches, social affairs, etc. THE CARRY ICE CREAM CO. ```markdown ``` Thomas Frazier and Co GRADUATE FUNERAL DIRECTORS AND EMBALMERS 723 Tea Street, Northwest Polite and Efficient Service Reasonable Prices Open Day and Night Lady Attendant Phone North 7796 Residence Phone North 1213 ·THE EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER· YOU CAN SAVE POSTAGE BY BUYING EAST INDIA TOILET GOODS FROM PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES APPOINTED AGENTS FOR WASHINGTON, D.

The Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Mr. Cox, appears to be exercised—he manifests symptoms of indignation—over a moral question. He accuses the Republicans of trying to raise a big, brutal slush fund to carry the presidential election. He implies that to carry the election in this way would be immoral, not to say illegal. Evidently Mr. Cox is a subtle casuist—a sophist. He suppresses a main patent fact having an essential bearing on the moral problem, which is: That the Democratic party occasionally carries presidential and congressional elections—and designs to carry one next November, by the following devices, to wit: 4. Grandfather's clause test in Southern States. This is illegal and immoral, but Mr. Cox does not disavow it. He does not even allude to it. Surely he is not ignorant of it. He hopes to become President by this illegal and immoral aid. The polite Republican managers these days refrain from making any issue of this form of corruption. They once were accustomed to make it an issue, but have quit that. They are now unwilling to do such a disagreeable thing—unwilling to be accused by their white Southern brothers of waiving the "bloody shirt." That would be bad form," forsooth, for "blood is thicker than water." The Republican leaders would rather not win national elections than to demand universal political manhood in all the States. We think there is too much of this ludicrous "My Dear Alphonse and Gaston business"—too damned much politeness! However, the Republicans prefer to depend on fortune and "the sinews of war."

Plainly, they require $5,000,000 for the single object of offsetting the effect of Democratic fraud in the South. Otherwise, they will not enter the race without a serious handicap. Thus, it is as plain as a pikestaff that for the Republicans to enter the race on even terms they will have to be conceded at the start $5,000,000 for individual vote getting in the North. That conceded, it may be fair to assume that each party will require $3,000,000 additional for other "legitimate" expenses. The pecuniary cost to the Democratic party to nullify 800,000 normal Republican votes in the South is small, because with the workers their work of intimidation and fraud is a work of love—they work free of charge. Say, then, that the Democrats require $3,000,000 only. But the Republicans ought, in fairness, to collect and spend $3,000,000 plus $5,000,000, which equals $8,000,000. Or, in any event, the Republicans will be morally entitled to raise and spend $5,000,000 more than the Democrats. Maybe Mr. Cox, when he reads this, will disclaim responsibility for the fraud in the South. That will not alter the case. He must admit that those conditions exist: If he is a square sport, he will let the Republicans put off their unjust handicap, to even up things, and not kick against their raising the money necessary to do this. Maybe some, even more squeamish than Mr. Cox, will exclaim: "Awful; all this is immoral!" They should remember that immorality does not consist in exposing immorality.
