Chicago, Ill., Jan. 10, 1919. With a sign of deep emotion used by the occasion, Rev. Hen-Allen Boyd, the secretary of Sunday School Congress, and corresponding secretary of the national Negro Press Association, avered an able address in the national Republican Committee today, which was in session be Congress Hotel.

His favorite hymn—How Firm a Foundation was sung by the choir after which Attorney Geo H. DeReef, principal speaker of the occasion, held the audience almost spell-bound as he, in speaking of Mr. Roosevelt's Life and Works, told how race men had been appointed to offices, not as negroes, but to fill positions for which they were qualified, though criticized by those averted to the advancement of the Negro race that whatsoever he did was done, and in the end it proved both the justice and wisdom of the president. Some of the men he named ATTY. J. G. THURMAN were Terril as judge, Lynch as Pay Master of the Army, Lewis as Asst. Attorney General of U. S. Crum as Internal Revenue Collector. Mr. De Reef also related an instance when a race woman was appointed postmistress at Minneola, Miss., and being informed by the whites that they would not receive their mail from her, Mr. Roosevelt closed the office. Rev. Woods and Russell spoke a few words about the Christian side of Mr. Roosevelt's life, calling attention to the fact that his success was due to his great belief in the words of his favorite hymn: How Firm a Foundation Ye Saints of The Lord. Solos were sung by Miss Sarah Woods, Mrs. C. Scott and Mr. Revels. Just before the meeting was closed a motion was carried that the chairman appoint a committee of five to draw up a set of resolutions of condolence and sympathy to be sent to Mrs. Roosevelt. Mr. R.

He did not discriminate against race, color or previous condition of servitude. To us he was one of the noblest Romans of them all. He was one of the brightest stars in the horizon, notwithstanding it has gone down beyond the Golden West, it is only for a time. We believe his work will live and that the Republican Party will take on new life and inspiration by the examples set. He was a man, as we knew him, who did not want the door of hope closed in the face of any American citizen. The Negro Press Association of the United States, which I also represent, wishes to pay its respect. Our 1,607,000 weekly circulation has already told the story of the fallen hero." MR. LEE C.

MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY JAN. 23. 1919 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR SOLVING PROBLEMS, SAYS SECRETARY WILSON Washington, D. C.—The report of the Secretary of Labor to Congress is of great interest to Negroes. It shows that the U. S. Government, through the Department of Labor, is really solving some of the great problems seriously affecting the economic condition of the Negro wage-earner. In referring to the establishment of the Division of Negro Economics, the Secretary of Labor says: "In the previous fiscal year the attention of the Department of Labor had been repeatedly called to specific problems involving race relations. During 1916 and 1918 perplexing questions had arisen and investigations had been made with regard to Negroes. With the greater industrial efficiency demanded by the war, it became apparent that a more harmonious adjustment of the labor relations between whites and Negroes was imperative, especially in view of the fact that the latter race makes up over one-tenth of our total population and includes about one-sixth of the working population. It has long been the policy of the Department to avail itself of the best expert knowledge obtainable in the administration of such problems as have arisen." "The function of the Director of Negro Economies," says the Secretary, "is to advice the secretary on matters affecting the Negro wage-earners and to outline and direct plans toward greater productions in agriculture and other industries. The work of this Division since its establishment has amply justified its creation and my policy has been to refer to it for advice concerning administration of all problems peculiar to Negroes as wage-earners." Congress is also informed that a very extensive report on the migration of the Negro has been made by the Department of Labor under the supervision of Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, President of the Jeanes and Slater Funds for Negro education in the South. The investigation was begun prior to the appointment of a Director of Negro Economies. However, the report was submitted to the Director of Negro Economies for final preparation and revision. This report is now in press and will be available for distribution in the near future. "Among the circumstances disclosed by Dr. Dillard's investigation," says the Secretary. "was the fact that the exodus of Negro workers had been the largest where lynchings and other forms of race friction had been the greatest." Later reports from the field indicate that such evils are retarding the efforts of the Department of Labor to allay labor unrest and to distribute properly the labor supply throughout the South. While the functions of the Department do not extend to recommendation of specific means for dealing with this menace, and while its correction lies wholly with the several states, it seems proper to point out that it is a constant cause of unrest and that it is making harder the work of the Department of Labor to increase the efficiency of Negro wage-earners by improving their conditions. It is a duty to point out the effects of such evils and to state that only its total abolition will serve to replace unrest with contentment. In the fulfillment of this duty the Department urges universal assistance in promoting co-operation between the races for the harmonizing of their relations and for the vigorous and unfailing enforcement of the law." TO CUT SOUTHERN REP. RESENTATION Republicans to Enforce 14th Amendment Washington. The practice long in vogue in the South of parceling out Congress districts on the basis of population and then permitting only white men to vote is to be attacked by the Republicans the minute they assume control of the next Congress. A measure will be introduced apportioning the number of representatives in each state on the basis of the vote cast and not by population. That the bill can be put through there is no doubt, but whether it will ever become law depends on the attitude the President takes. The fact that the Negroes of the South were called upon without question to do their part in the war in the draft army and otherwise will be pressed by the Republicans as evidence of the feeling that they should receive the rights of citizens if they are to be called upon to perform the duties of citizens. It is certain that Southern members of Congress will make a bitter fight against the innovation. It would mean that instead of the big delegation now in Congress from the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Virginia and Tennessee there would be probably one-quarter as many. COLORED LAD DUE FOR D. S M. OR DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE- WHICH? Camp M'Chellan, Anniston, Ala.—Wearing a service bar on his left sleeve, an overseas cap and a Sam Brown belt with make-believe pistol, Gussie Lewis Gray, thirteen-year-old Negro boy, has returned to Anniston after several months foreign service with the 521st Regiment of Engineers facing dishonorable discharge for fraudulent enlistment. The record shows he swore he was 18 yrs old. Gussie stoutly maintains that he "got a German" and describes trench life, guard duty and the endless work of the American soldier in an extremely interesting and intelligent way. Gray was slightly wounded in the knee by a German bullet and is probably the youngest regular enlisted soldier to cross the sea to fight the Germans. MR. JOHN M. BLAIR, Wilmington, Del.

Tuscumbia, Ala.—A special term of the Colbert county circuit court was convened in this city for the trial of the 14 or more men under arrest charged with first degree murder in connection with lynching two Negroes, Will Bird and George Whitesides, in Shef field, last November. Washington.—Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National committee, is about to tackle the solid south in a serious effort to uphave the Democratic foundations. He will establish southern headquarters at Asheville, N. C.; Knoxville, Tenn., or Atlanta, Ga., and campaign for electoral votes for 1920. Tuskegee, Ark.—According to the records compiled by Monroe N. Work, in charge of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, there were 62 lynchers in 1918. This is 24 more than the number 38, for the year 1917. Of those lynched, 58 were Negroes and 4 were whites. Five of those put to death were women. Sixteen, or a little more than one-fourth of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. Little Rock, Ark.—Herbert Wilson, a member of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, announced that he will file proceedings against the Missouri Pacific for permitting Negroes to ride in Pullman cars with white passengers. Columbus, O.—Announcement is made that Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, has given $25,000 to complete a Y. M. C. A. building for Colored people in this city. Knoxville, Tenn.—A trio of "better halves" is too much of a monopoly for seventeen-year-old youth. Judge T. A. R. Nelson, in criminal court here, thought so anyway, so he gave Edward Freeman, on a charge of bigamy, four years in the State Industrial School at Nashville. New York.—Rev. R. I. Jonas arrived in this city recently and immediately began his work with the darker races, the object being to develop an international league which will include China, Japan, Africa, South America, Mexico, Hayti, Liberia, Egypt, Abyssinia, India, United States, France, Great Britain and Russia.

Washington.—Injunctions restraining the use of the name Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine by an organization of Negroes on the ground that it is an imitation of the name of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine were in effect made permanent today by the Supreme Court, which refused to review proceedings in the Georgia state courts. Richmond, Va.—If plans afoot do not miscarry, Richmond will soon have a Colored daily. A meeting recently held discussed the matter thoroughly and the promoters, men of means, are favorably disposed to the proposition. Washington—Representatives of the Department of Labor Employment Service have found that many thousands of the Negroes who migrated from the southern states to the North and West during the war will not return to their old homes, but remain where they are, for the higher wages they receive and the better conditions they live under. FROM OVERSEAS Mrs. Emma Ingram of Cedar street, Milwaukee, has received a letter from her husband, James W. Ingram, "Jimmie" he is called by those who know him well, of the Fighting 372nd, Milwaukee's Own, in which he indicates an early return. He says in part: "I was sure we would now be on our way home, but we were delayed by some cause not known to me. I do hope it will be soon, for I am lonely for that dear old Milwaukee and the scenes and people dear to me. Now that somebody stopped us in our chance to get Bill Kaiser the excitement is wearing off and it is really tiresome. But it will be alright again when I get back home with you. I don't know where we will land but I will telegraph you. I hope you did not let the moths get in my clothes. Get them out and air them as I want to see how it feels to be a private citizen again. Give my regards to all friends and tell Art to make ready for my coming as I am just dying to find out what made "Milwaukee famous." Don't answer this as I expect to be on my way before an answer can reach me. And then follows a closing such as any red blooded soldier might be expected to write his wife whom he has not seen for a year. Over it we will dew the curtain.

MILWAUKEE'S SOLDIERS RECEPTION The first of a series of receptions to be tendered Milwankee’s returning soldiers was given at the Auditorium last Saturday night. Mayor Hoan is chairman of the committee having the matter in charge, Because ke presided at the meeting in pro- test of the recent conviction of Victor Berger and his fellow defendants charged with violation of the espionage act many soldiers and others determined to prevent Mr, Hoan from speaking at this recep- tion, Lient. Vol, Harry Bradley, outlining their plans th carry out their purpose, said: ‘*We won’t attempt violence of any kind. That would defeat our pur pose. But we are going to sing The Star Spangled Banner as long as he attempts to speak.”” This reminds us of a certain Milwaukee character who often engages in local city election campaigns. He always has concealed about his person a small US. flag. He proceeds to lambast the Socialists for further orders, and as soon as those in the audience resent his attacks by hisses and cal-calls, he imme- Jiately pulls out his ever ready little flag and wav- ing it before him aveuses his annoyers of insulting the flag. Now the one is about as appropriate as the other. To use the Star Spangled Banner for the purpose of squelching a speaker lawfully engaged in extend- is to do violence to the national song. Those who ing the welcome of a city to its returning soldiers planned it knew that any attempt to stop the singers would invoke the serious charge of disrespect for our national air. It is much like a police officer unjustifiably beating a prisoner and then charging him with resisting an officer, As to the merits of the controversy we believe that ‘Mayor Hoan** blundered in presiding at that protest meeting, whatever might have been proper for citizen Hoan, But two wrongs never did make ight. If the soldiers as a body disapproved of the Mayor’s presence at the reception and desired to resent it in unmistakable terms, they might have ibsented themselves entirely, A reception without the guests would have been like the play of Ham- let without the presence of Hamlet. Nothing could have been a more impressive rebuke. But to come here and attempt to prevent the mayor presiding when he had been lawfully chosen for that purpose, and to do so by singing our National Anthem, was to use the air for an improper purpose. We are surprised that ene who had reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel should have suggested. it COWARDS AND HYPOCRITES “Under the eaption of ‘Three Southern Lynch- ings’ the Columbia State comes out plainly with a severe condemnation of this section for its share in the disgraceful mob murders of this country and particularly those of the past few weeks. Two Ne- gro women against whom evidence of any guilt was very doubtful, were among those lynched by the Mississippi mob, and the State scores the act as the cowardly and brutal outrage which it was, saying: “Had these women been white and ten times guiltier than they were, they would not have been lynched, for the simple reason that white lynehers have not the courage to Iynch white women and rarely lynch white men, however poor or depraved they be. To do that, they know that they would have to fight. “+ We are hypocrites, arch hypocrites, when we say in the south that we are a civilized people, that we are Jess barbarons than the Germans, at the same time allowing our laws to be set aside by ruffians and murderers at their pleasure, ‘Ah!’ someone pleads, but these brutes are not representative of the virtue and decency of the southern people,” which same is trne—as though that would not be the excuse of nine hundred and ninety-nine in a thousand German sol- diers, ineluding the fiends who unleashed their wieked passions in Belgium. “These are hard words, but not unduly so. Hy- pocrisy has been called an Anglo-Saxon vice, and ‘certainly the Anglo-Saxon civilization of which we are Wont to boast cannot without hypoerisy ¢on- demn barbarity in other races while it tolerates such [arinios of muragers end cowardice ia the land where ‘it is supposed to have reached its highest develop- ment It would be a hopeful sign for the south if every paper in the section would speak as plainly and ‘unsparingly in condemnation of the national dis- grace of lynehing and the large share the south has in that criminal record. We have no disposi- tion to excuse ourselveg by pointing to northern and western ocenrrences of like nature and thus try to Bee our own evil doing, Rather should we emphasize the disgrace which such outrages bring upon our own section and try to arouse the popular mind to greater sensitiveness. not to the imputation, ee to the shame itself and our responsibility for its continuance. ‘The Tennessean has a pride in the south, but that pride does not resent criticism and condemnation of these lynchings, but it does resent ‘these cowardly acts of southerners and the shame Jand disgrace they bring upon us all,’*—Nashville | Tennessean. There is no time to lose over the Peace Table; our demands must be made right here where we are in our city councils, in our legislatures and the Congress of the United States.

PREDICTS WAR ON RACE PREJUDICE Jap Minister Discusses Color Question Tokio, Jan. 6 (Correspondence of the Associated Press) —Belief pie the next war will be the out- ‘come of race prejudices is express- ‘ed by Yukio Ozaki, formerly Min- ‘ister of Justice, and a leading member of the Constitutional par- ty. Mr, Ozaki said that, in his opinion, the colored races which ‘steadily. were developing their civilization would demand finally the same treatment as the white races, and that the result would be an armed collision. Mr. Ozaki recommended that at the peace conference Japan, act- ing on behalf of all the Asiatic ‘races, should introduce the racial and population questions for con- sideration, and if possible, secure a solution, In a country like Japan, where the population is increasing with alarming rapidity, he said, it was but natural that the surplus popu- lation should try to obtain an ovt- let even by resorting to arms. From Japan's standpoint, said Mr, Ozaki, the racial or popula- tion questions were more impor- tant than President Wilson's “fourteen points’? as laid down for a basis of Germany's surren- der. ‘These racial questions, he said, concerned the future of mill- ions of souls in Asia, Mr. Ozaki warned the Japanese not to develop the German system of state organization, which in the present war had proved to be a mere machine for destroying civ- ilization and for trampling under foot the rights of other nations and peoples. On the question of Japan's oe- cupation of the German South Sea Islands, Mr. Ozaki declared that the United States should disman- tle her forts in the Philippines and Hawaii, and that this would be more important for Japan. than the taking over of the South Sea Islands. j a | ea , ee & | & | | Sea rw "* | 3 | peg | te ca foe Aes | Saas | Py. ‘ e | a | A.W.

LETTER FILE Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 19, 1919. Editor of Madison Blade: Please settle this question for us. My friends says that a red stripe on a soldier's sleeve means that he has been in France. I say that it means he was wounded, and the gold stripe that he was in France. Which is right? Yours truly, C. Carter. (You are both wrong though you are partly right. The red chevron indicates the honorable discharge of the soldier. The gold chevron on the left sleeve near the wrist indicates that the soldier has served six months overseas. For the benefit of you and our other readers we subjoin the following.—Editors.) Chevrons are of four kinds: Rank, wound, service and discharge. All are V-shaped. Rank chevrons have been worn by noncommissioned officers in the army from time immemorial. Wound, service and discharge chevrons are new. Rank chevrons are worn above the elbow on the left sleeve with the point up. A lance corporal has one bar, a corporal two bars, and a sergeant three bars. The wound chevron is of gold, worn, point down, on the right sleeve between the wrist and the elbow. One chevron is worn for each wound received, but if the bearer has been wounded more than once at the same time, he is allowed but one chevron. Service chevrons are all worn on the left sleeve between the wrist and the elbow, with the points down. A gold chevron indicates the wearer has served six months at the front. An additional chevron is worn for each additional six months. A sky-blue chevron indicates the wearer has served less than six months at the front. A silver chevron indicates the wearer has served six months outside the theater of operations. An additional chevron is worn for each additional six months of service. Both officers and enlisted men wear service chevrons. Discharge chevrons are worn by enlisted men to show that they have been honorably discharged from the service. The discharge chevron is red, worm, point up, midway between the elbow and the shoulder of the left sleeve. ANOTHER LYNCHING Texas Again Distinguishes Itself By Burning a Human Being. Safe for Mobocracy Hillsboro, Tex.—The peaceful quiet of this place was marred yesterday by the inexecutable killing of Bragg Williams, a colored man, by a mob of prominent (?) citizens. Williams was recently convicted of the murder of Mrs. George Wills and was under sentence to hang Feb. 21. The mob appeared at the jail and after a short parley with the officers was admitted. Seizing the helpless man they hurried him to the public square and securely tying him with chains applied the torch. And as he writhed in his death agonies the mob rent the air with their shouts of glee. METROPOLITAN BURNS MORTGAGE Washington, D. C.—Metropolitan A. M. E. Church of this city, has at last cancelled its debt of $15,000 after a campaign which lasted but seven and a half months. In May 1918 Dr. C. M. Tanner, pastor, organized the people for a "drive" for $15,000. Keeping unceasingly at it since May has enabled the Church to clear itself of debt. At the same time over three hundred members have been added to the roll of the Church. Eibhteen months ago Dr. Tanner came as pastor, from Big Bethel Church, Atlanta, Ga., and during his brief stay the Church has taken on new life. The following improvements have been made to the Church i. e., electric light installed by the Church Aid Circle, the interior of the Church has been renovated, the walls frescoed, the Church has been carpeted at a cost of one thousand dollars, and the mortgage debt of $15,000 has been paid.
