Wisconsin Race Convention At Madison June 17-18-19 Dr.E.J.Scott Flays Dr.W.E.B.DuBois IF YOU ARE A BOOSTER FOR MADISON GET IN LINE TO ENTERTAIN THE RACE CONVENTION JUNE. 17-18-19. Makes Red-hot Reply to Editor of "The Crisis"—Challenges Dubois to Print "Bill of Particulars." The Wisconsin Dr. E. Makes Red-hot Re "The Crisis"—Ch to Print "Bill o WASHINGTON, D. C.—In the May issue of The Crisis magazine, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Editor, attempts to "quit" Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, regarding certain conditions said to exist among Negro troops in France and, in the course of public addresses, recently delivered by Dr. DuBois in Washington, D. C., and Richmond, Va., made veiled insinuations concerning the way and manner in which he claims Dr. Scott has been looking after the welfare of Negro soldiers overseas. When the matter was mentioned to Dr. Scott, he said: "Yes, I have read Dr. DuBois' questions as propounded and sent around to the colored newspapers through his advance sheets. Apparently he seeks to discredit one who, according to his own testimony, has been laboring in the War Department "under very difficult circumstances" and who has never failed during the war to take a firm stand for the rights of Negro soldiers at home and overseas. In the first place I do not recognize the usurped right of Dr. DuBois to "call me to account of my stewardship. I am willing to leave to that loyal, unbiased, and sane jury of twelve million colored Americans, whose interests I have endeavored to represent in the War Department, the verdict as to whether or not I have done my full duty. I am now preparing an account of my stewardship which will be presented to that jury at the right time and in the proper way. In the representative capacity I have been serving during the war I necessarily welcomed the "loyal and unselfish cooperation" of all colored Americans, whether of the radical or conservative type, but again quoting the words of Dr. DuBois, my association with him during the war has been "AT THE COST OF SUSPICION AND CRITICISM," for I have been repeatedly warned that he is neither unselfish nor sincere. It is rather amusing, however, to read on pages 7 and 8 of the same issue of THE CRISIS, wherein Dr. DuBois assumes the self-appointed task of iniminating my alleged neglect or failure to do certain things or "everything" in the article headed "MY MISSION" he says: "I went to Paris. * * * What did I do when I got there? First, THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS THAT I DID NOT DO. * * * But it did not follow that because I COULD NOT DO EVERYTHING I COULD DO NOTHING." How Complaints Were Handled Now, it was precisely the same when I came to Washington and began to labor "under very difficult circumstances" (as Dr. DuBois states it) in the War Department. "There were certain things that I did not do" and I soon found that "I COULD NOT DO EVERYTHING," but there were a number of important things I could do and did do for the benefit of Negro soldiers in camps at home as well as overseas. Of course, no same person would ask or expect a man holding a confidential position in a great Department of the Government to reveal in public print official and confidential information, but as proof of the fact that complaints concerning Negro soldiers overseas reported to me by Negro officers, Negro Chaplains, and Negro and other American civilians, did receive prompt action at my hands, I submit at this time just a few of the many letters which I have received from Negro officers who actually served overseas and from other men who brought specific complaints and grievances of Negro soldiers overseas to my office for attention. These letters express appreciation of the satisfactory and, in most cases, the effective way in which I have taken up and handled all such complaints. Be it remembered that American white officers and soldiers had their hardships, troubles and grievances, as well as the Negro troops belonging to the American Expeditionary forces—some of which they had to endure and all of which it was not possible for even the War Department in Washington altogether to remove or remedy— IF YOU ARE Patronize Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper--They Appreciate Your Trade and yet I offer no apologies for these conditions or hardships! In order that the exact facts might be secured regarding colored soldiers overseas it will be recalled that it was upon the recommendation of the Negro Editors' Conference, held in Washington, D. C., June, 1918, which recommendation was pressed by me, Mr. Ralph W. Tyler was designated by the Committee on Public Information to render this service. Mr. Tyler constantly called to the attention of the War Department, through me, certain conditions; and in each and every case these complaints were brought to the attention of the proper officials of the War Department. My files evidence the fact that Dr. DuBois wrote me repeatedly calling to my attention complaint after complaint concerning wrongs, grievances, discriminations, etc., alleged to exist among Negro soldiers in various camps here in America. He was informed time after time with reference to the investigations which followed as a result of those complaints, and expressed in writing his satisfaction with the action taken in following up such complaints. Having gone on his "Mission" to France December 1, 1918, why did he wait five months until the May, 1919, issue of "The Crisis," to mention to me any overseas complaints? I fear that the animating impulse back of his present inquiries has not as yet been altogether disclosed to the public. An old and familiar saying, "When folks can't use you they then 'knock' you" comes to my mind. Dr. DuBois knows, and his friends know, and the record proves, that as far back as two days before the meeting of the Negro Editors' Conference, which I called here in Washington, June, 1918, he was seeking my personal good offices that he might realize personal aspirations. He knows that I did everything I could to help him secure that much coveted commission in the army, which he so eagerly but vainly sought. He also knows, as the record will show when necessity arises, that there were other occasions also when Dr. DuBois probably felt I might be used for 'pulling chestnuts out of the fire' for him. What the Record Shows My record in the War Department speaks for itself. I am not ashamed of it. I have no excuses or apologies to make. True it is, "I could not do everything." as he confesses for himself, yet I challenge any man to show wherein I have failed to perform my whole duty. While no one expected or could expect that a civilian official in the War Department could altogether control every untoward incident or harsh or unattractive handling of soldiers overseas, it was always expected at least (and I have so interpreted it as my duty) that such an official should go forward in the matter of presenting the complaints and grievances of such men when brought to his attention, and should do all in his power to cause a thorough investigation and bring about, if possible, a prompt and suitable remedy. The following recommendations, among others, have been brought to the attention of the War Department by me and urged as offering an opportunity for better morale among Negro officers and soldiers overseas: 1. That the Negro soldiers of the Labor and Engineer units be given the same opportunity for promotion and advancement as are given the white soldiers. 2. That all Negro laboring units be given Negro non-commissioned officers. 3. That all Negro units be supplied with Negro chaplains. 4. That military police be selected from the Negro soldiers as well as from white soldiers. 5. Also a change in the matter of drilling the men on Sunday without special permission from commanding officers. 6. That trials by summary court martial in the case of these particular units be discontinued. The non-control of social questions outside of camp limits unless requested by the French authorities. This particular order referred to a certain effort which had MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1919. been made to commit the military officials to the solution of social and other questions non-military in nature. 7. That racial discriminations among American soldiers both at home and overseas be in no way countenanced by the War Department. 8. That promotions of colored officers in combat units be made as such promotions be earned, etc. Challenges Dr. DuBOIS to Present "Bill of Particulars" of Presumed Delinquencies and Asks Some Leading Questions. I challenge Dr. DuBOIS to show in any of the numerous memoranda I have written, or among the numerous public addresses I have delivered in all parts of this country—without a penny's charge to any one who came to hear my message—concerning the interests of Negro soldiers and civilians, any line or paragraph that falls short of a firm demand for justice and fair play. And, now, having specifically indicated a few of my efforts and activities in the War Department with reference to overseas complaints, I, too, shall publicly ask a few questions: 1. Inasmuch as Dr. DuBois left for France December 1, 1918, and waited practically five months (May issue of The Crisis) before becoming indignant about the treatment of Negro troops overseas, I want to ask—if he (DuBois) knew of the conditions complained of and manifestly thought I was in a position to have those wrongs corrected, why in the name of Justice and High Heaven did he not bring them directly to my attention? 2. How many of such overseas complaints did he bring to my attention as he easily could have done as a "Correspondent" and as Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, Accredited War Correspondent, actually did? 3. What did he himself do to help the situation overseas and to have the wrongs corrected? Is it not a fact that when the opportunity was offered for him to counsel with colored officers in group that he refused to do so, preferring to be in a position to criticise later rather than to be "a present help in a time of trouble?" If he did not wish to report the grievances of colored soldiers to me personally as being beneath his dignity, did he not have access to every regimental and divisional headquarters in France the same as other "correspondents?" 4. Did he make any effort white in France to have the injustices complained of ameliorated, or did he await his return to America, 3,000 miles away from France, to protest? I challenge him to cite specifically what overseas complaints among Negro troops he ever brought directly to my attention or to the attention of my office, where, according to his own testimony, such complaints should have been brought and pressed for correction. I CALL FOR HIS "BILL OF PARTICULARS." I eagerly await his reply. BATHES IN TUB OF EX-KAISER (Blade News Service) PARIS, May 29. The champion boxers and wrestlers of the American expeditionary force returned to Paris to day to prepare for the inter-allied games after a two weeks' tour of the area of occupation.

THE FORUM HAS INSTAL OFFICERS AT CAL MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 25.—The Sunday Forum held its regular meeting at Calvary Baptist Church, after its formal opening and reading of the minutes of the previous meeting by Secretary Mrs. Russell, a most interesting program was rendered. Two articles from the Milwaukee papers were read by the Forum's Assistant Journalist, Mr. A. J. Long; both were worthy of note, one was relative to the campaign launched in New York by the Negroes of the United States under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, "to defend the constitutional and legal rights now denied more than four fifths of the Negro race in America." The other article was from the Milwaukee Sentinel regarding an informal gathering of the Knights of Columbus, at their hall where they met to formulate plans to help educate and promote the welfare of Colored People in Milwaukee, by raising funds for a new home for colored children, which will include a nursery and prepara GALE DAY IN MILWAUKEE RAISED $1.5 BISHOP R.

REAL DEMOCRACY IN RICHMOND RICHMOND, Va., May 29.—A white woman, well dressed and apparently about 26 years of age, handcuffed to a colored girl, was carried to the State Penitentiary yesterday afternoon on an open wagon. The party of prisoners, which made its way up Carey street shortly after 4 o'clock, consisted of the two female prisoners and four colored and one white man. The men were manacled and on foot, walking under guard behind the rickety wagon in which the two women were riding. The convicts were brought here from Newport News for confinement. HUMAN LIFE PRECIOUS GEORGIA JUDGE TELLS A TRUTH (Blade News Service) AUGUSTA, Ga., May 29.—Before pronouncing sentence on William Morgan charged with manslaughter, Judge Hammond said: "Human life is too precious to be held in light regard. If there is any criticism I have to make of the Colored race it is that they are too rockless with human life. If they have a pistol, they think they must use it, and they do use it. "The White people, judges and court officials, I think," continued the judge, "take too narrow a view of the colored citizen. They say he is respectful and a good Negro simply because he tips his hat to the white man. He is called a 'white man's Negro,' and they let it go at that." This attitude. In the opinion of Judge Hammond, makes the Negro overbearing to his own people, realizing that he has the backing of white men if he commits crime. RICHARDS TO TEACH AT COLUMBIA RICHARDS TO TEACH AT COLUMBIA WILL CINDUCT COURSE IN CORPORATION IAW DURING SUMMER NEW YORK, May 26—Prof. Harry S. Richards, De.

PRICE FIVE CENTS—NO.52 (Blade News Service) FREEPORT, May 29.—A $5,000 damage suit was filed today in court naming the Freeport Bulletin Publishing company as the defendant. The suit was brought by David Moseley, colored. The bill charges the publishing company with malicious, false, scandalous and defamatory libel. Moseley bases his suit on an article which was printed in the Freeport Bulletin on March 17, following his arrest and trial in police court on a charge of selling whiskey. Moseley claims that as a direct result of the publishing of the story he has been shunned and avoided by divers people. The bill further avers that the publishing company printed the article contriving and maliciously intending to injure and destroy Moseley's good name and reputation, and to bring him into public scandal and disgrace. Moseley has secured the services of J. G. Fillmore as his attorney. The case will be tried at the June term of the circuit court in this city. NO COLOR LINE IN THIS 5,000,000 AMERICANS ARE IGNORANT LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 29.—Illiteracy among both races in the United States is a constant invitation to Bolshevism, according to Dean L. B. Moore, of Howard University, Washington, D.C., in an address before the Negro Educational Association of Kentucky. "There are 5,000,000 adults of both races in the United States that can neither read nor write," said Dr. Moore, "ignorance like this is the cause of sectional and racial feeling and constant lawbreaking. No one can understand a law who cannot read it." COLORED COP AP POINTED IN OKLA HOMA CITY (Blade News Service) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May 29. A great step in "political preferment" was made here when the city commissioners confirmed the appointment of W.D. Fuller, as a member of the police force. He is the first ever appointed in this city. His appointment came after a spirited protest from one commissioner. REVERSE JUDGMENT IN FARE CASE REVERSE JUDGMENT IN FARE CASE SUPREME COURT DECISION SAYS MILWAUKEE ORDER REA-SONABLE WHEN MADE The state supreme court today recordered the judgment of Dane county circuit court in the case of the Milwaukee Railway & Light Co., against the Railway Commission and city of Milwaukee, brought in September 1912, to set aside an order of the commission, Aug. 23, requiring the company to sell 13 railway tickets for 50 cents, instead of six for 20 as thereforefore. The action is remanded, with directive affirm the order of the Railroad commission with costs in favor of the city to be taxed against the street car company. Chief Justice Winslow wrote the opinion and says: "The evidence does not make it clear that the order of Aug. 23, 1912, was in any respect unreasonable when made. The conditions then existing appear to be unreasonable, making of the order. The factors which claimed to have made the rate of fare then fixed unreasonablen are changed conditions, which came in after the making of that order, principally during the year 1913 and 1914. Whatever may have been the effect of the changed conditions on the position of the present reasonableness of the order, the court ruled that was unreasonable when made."

If you stand for racial progress. If you stand for racial efficiency. W. S. WILLIAN, President All Washington mourned with the family of the late Lieutenant James Reese Europe, whose funeral was held in the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. His body lay in state at this church where it was viewed by thousands who thus came to pay their last sad tribute of respect to America's foremost musician. The services were simple and impressive and consisted of a prayer by the Rev. D. F. Rivers, pastor of the Berean Baptist Church, a solo by Mr. Harry Nugent, the reading of an original poem by Mr. Sam Wallace; a tribute by the Rev. Sterling N. Brown, and remarks by other prominent men. The floral tributes were large and expensive, the most noticeable being a huge floral harp. Taps were sounded for Lieut. Europe, whose remains were laid to rest in the Arlington National Cemetery. "Was there ever such a night as this?" is what the folks are saying about the concert by the 368th Infantry Band, who played to a capacity house in the Central Coliseum here. The same is true of the 376th Infantry (Old 8th Illinois) Band, which band gave several recitals in the city, one of which was held at War Camp Community Service Club No. 8. Madam Anita Patti Brown was in fine voice, and Lieut. S. S. Gordon covered himself with glory as a "talker." Thanksgiving services under the auspices of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows were held in several of the leading churches of the city, crowds attending each service. Pupils of the Miner Normal School assisted in an entertainment given at St. Luke's P. E. Church, for the bonded debt. The affair was under the direct charge of Mrs. Celestine Stainton. The Bethel Literary had an excellent attendance at its meeting, when Mr. A. G. Dill, Business Manager of "The Crisis," held his audience in rapt attention while he told them "why the 'RISIS was held up by the New York Post Office.'" The annual contest for the Sunday school banner was held, the Sunday School of the Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church winning the banner. Miss Janice Brown daughter of Mr. James A. Brown, of the Post Office Department, won the German helmet of fered by the Treasury Department as a prize for the best four minute speech on the Victory loan. Miss Brown is a pupil in the Miner Normal School. Mr. Henry Neale, for forty five years messenger at the door of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been assured that he will be retained on the same job when Speaker-elect Gillett moves into the Speaker's office on Thursday.

Mr. Dwight Holmes, now an instructor in the Miner Normal School, has been nominated for the newly created position of registrar of Howard University. Colored men who are prominent in civic affairs in the city took part in the dedication ceremonies of the New Colored Men's Club, cor. 7th and P. Streets, N. W., the principal address being made by Col. William Peart of the Salvation Army, Major Milton T. Dean United States Army, spoke in behalf of the colored people. Music was furnished by the staff band of the Salvation Army. Adjutant James N. Roberts of the Salvation Army is in charge. An agreement has been made between members of Congress and the Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, whereby lands to work for farming purposes will be given to discharged soldiers. These are Western arnold lands and it is hoped that noble soldiers will take advantage of this agreement. Each soldier is to be entitled to an advance from the Government of $1,200 for the erection of a house and other buildings; $800 for a team and other implements, and $500 for other purposes. Current rumor is afloat that Provost Marshal General Crowder, director of the war draft machine, plans to resign from the Army to accept a post of political adviser to Cuba. Officials of the Department of Labor are of the opinion that as the Negroes compose one seventh of the working population, their welfare is important and that if good will and cooperation between white employers, workers and Negroes, the labor problems will be solved. War Camp Community Service Club No. 3 continues to help the soldier to swing back into a better community life. Various entertainments have included a trip to Camp Meade where Miss Elsie Washington gave several dramatic readings and Mr. Alonzo P. Smalls rendered several selections. The young people in this vicinity are practically "wearing themselves away" in looking after the soldiers. Not only do the local citizens do this, but outsiders fall into line as well. This has been noticeably true in the case of Miss Shelby Covington, formerly of New York City, who has appeared on several programs for the entertainment of the soldiers. The needs of the young women are looked after by that capable and thorough-going race woman, Mrs. Julia Moson Layton, who represents THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE Sphinx Safe Deposit Co.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION THEY ASK NO FAVORS BECAUSE THEY ARE NEGROES, BUT ONLY FOR JUSTICE, BECAUSE THEY ARE MEN.— Foraker. THE DOMINANT WHITE God gave you power to build and help and lift; But you proved prone to persecute and slay And from the high and noble course to drift Into the darkness from the light of day. He gave you law and order, strength of will The lesser peoples of the world to lead; You chose to break and crush them through life's mill, But for your earthly gains to make them bleed: Because you've proved unworthy of your trust, God—He shall humble you down to the dust. You have betrayed the black, maligned the yellow; But what else could we hope of you who set The hand even of your own against his fellow; To stem the dire tide that threatens yet? You called upon the name of your false god To lash our wounded flesh with knotted cords And trample us into the blood-stained sod, And justified your deeds with specious words: Oh! you have proved unworthy of your trust, And God shall humble you down to the dust. The pain you gave us nothing can assuage, Who hybridized a proud and virile race, Bequeathed to it a bastard heritage And made the black ashamed to see his face, You ruined him, put doubt into his heart, About the higher worth of your white skin! Oh White Man! You have trifled with your trust, And God shall humble you down to the dust. You blinded go, afraid to see the Truth. Closing your eyes to and denying Beauty; You stultify the dreams of visioned youth All in the prostituted name of Duty. You place your Seers with madmen, fools and rogues. Their words distort and twist, despise their creed. You choose instead the little demagogues That will uphold you in your shameless greed: Because you're proved unworthy of your trust, Oh, He shall humble you!—down to the dust. Claude McKay in Liberator. BLADELETS Don't turn. BLADELETS Don't turn. Stand by your convictions carefully formed. Manhood, even in a black man, is admirable. If a thing is wrong you cannot compromise with it and retain your manhood. Every disorder has its remedy; every poison its antidote. Wrongs do not right themselves, nor do rights come unsought—unearned. The recent murder trial in Fond du Lac merely strengthens our theory that immorality and crime are the peculiar attributes of no particular people or race. The Wisconsin Legislature, always in the forefront of advance legislation, proposes to make legal the marriage of first cousins over fifty years of age. Isn't this a dangerous innovation? Col. Charles Young, U. S. A. before an N. A. A. C. P. meeting Sunday last advised his hearers to love the persons who spitefully used them. Good advice and has Scriptural authority, but who, except a Divinity can love his executioner, the despoiler of his home, the destroyer of all he holds sacred? I, can't be done! LYNCH LAW A report of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People says: "Sixty-three negroes, five of them women, and four white men tell victims of mob ruthlessness during 1918, and in no case was any member of the mob convicted in any court and in only two cases was any trial held." The expression lynch law, though common, is of course, not well founded because lynching is the reverse of law. Law is the product of civilization. Lynching is not even anarchistic, for anarchy has a philosophy back of it. Lynching has no processes of reason behind it. It is simply the letting loose of the instinct of revenge. Mob passion, not the passion for justice, prevails in lynching. Men are entitled not to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Due process of law regards the criminal as an offender against itself. Whoever usurps the right to condemn and punish is likewise an offender against due process of law. That one himself when charged with crime expects the law to grant him a fair trial. He cannot, therefore, deny the same right to others, however gross their offenses against order and decency, without convicting himself of hypocrisy. Lynching has been a stain upon our national honor. Because of it other nations have pointed at us the finger of scorn. There is too much disrespect for law in our country. Some people confuse lawlessness and license with freedom. Mob violence of whatever kind, whether it results in kiling or some form of organized persecution, is akin to Lynching. All are alike against law and subversive of law. Law protects as well as punishes and those who undertake private justice in disregard of law break down its protecting strength for themselves and all other individuals. The cure for Lynching is widespread realization that law is the guardian of the liberty of the individual.—Milwaukee Journal. THE NATION'S HOPE The "Own Your Home" privilege to every citizen, regardless of race or station in life, is surely and ideally American. This "system of privilege" eliminates the rich land owner, and the privileged few as they exist in other countries. It is one of the greatest gifts of the nation. It makes for the truest democracy. With the possession of a house there comes a different outlook upon life. It changes everything. It merges the obscure, weak and indifferent citizen into one alive, alert and active. Nothing gives the citizen a better knowledge of and brings him in closer touch or contact with his government than home ownership. For in the acquirement of a home there comes the responsibility of protecting and safeguarding the same. And in so doing, the home owner gets to understand more intimately the machinery of the government, local, state and national, for the three in degrees, bear a relative importance to the home. He also finds his status to his government. So in the light of the knowledge and experience gained thereby, he exercises his privilege and right of franchise more intelligently and independently. Home ownership then tutors into the best citizenship. As a means of rightly molding and shaping child life and character through the lesson it teaches in paternal perserverance, thriftiness and economy: in its reflection in the child the paternal spirit of civic pride, patriotism and loyalty, fostered and sustained through a clean perception of the workings of the government, the value of home ownership is made paramount. Thus, "In the home in the home" lies the nation's hope. It is the "training camp" for the best in citizenship. And listen! The exquisite sense of pleasure, independence, freedom and security that comes in the possession of a home can not be expressed in words. Mrs. R. A. Gant. SCISSORED THOUGHTS We must never forget that the will, british frenzy that causes a white mob to take the life of a Negro accused of crime is in the end a greater injury to the white people than to the black. For so long as the white man's government doesn't protect the life of prisoners within its custody, the white man's civilization is not a civilization invested with many elements of perpetuity. And the white man's government will be far from a kind of government that the world will respect.—Houston (Tex.) Post. The first thing is to give the negro justice in our courts of justice. Let his punishment be meted on the same measure as that given to the white man. As we have remarked in the past, the white man, with his opportunities really deserves the greater degree of punishment. Yet he often escapes on account of nothing but the color of his skin. The day has come when the south must see that the negro is treated in court as a being deserving consideration. — Columbia (S. C.) Record. We don't know how much truth is in the rumor, that now floats over Galveston, to the effect that, certain "good white folks" who are helping to push the 8th liberty drive to success, asking black folks as well as white folks, to buy liberty bonds, pulled off a demonstration show at the opera house this week, and sent the Colored patrons up in the peanut gallery. We are informed, that a host of these nutton head knuebending "yas sar boss" cowardly Negroes were there on time. Oh Lord, how long will thou leave such fools among us, to taunt the decent self respecting Negroes. - Galveston New Idea. What the Negro wants in this country is what Ireland in a larger sense wants of England. Ireland wants to be free to live as she pleases. The Negro wants the opportunity to live as other Americans live under the laws of the land for which the Negro labored and died. The Irish want a chance to live and to develop; the Negro is asking for the same thing in the last analysis. Pittsburgh Courier. THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE CHARLES W.
