SPRINGFIELD RIOT.

Springfield, ILL.,, is a calamity.
An exhibition of barbaric frenzy
never before equaled in the history
of this nation. Murder, arson, and
riot bidding defiance to the nd-
tional, state and municipal govern
mentS. Four thousand soldiers in
capable of preserving order and
protecting life. Oh! piteous spec
tacle. 1t is passing strange that
on the eve of one of the most mo
mentuous political struggles that
there should be such exceptional ae-
tivity among the lynchers, white
cappers and criminal assaults. No
one condones crime, be it the per-
petrator of the unspeakable offense
and the equally guilty rioter who
would presume to take the law in
his own hands. And what a trav-
esty on justice. The great body of
American people have come to re-
gard the crime of rape as matter
of course; one of the many social
evils, we must meet and conquer.
The Colorado Negroes takes a
very serious view of the awful
spectacle at Springfield and other
places. The frequency of the riot
and lynching, and the growing
boldness Of the mob, strikes us as
menace to good government. These
crimes seem to be the work of the
idle and the vicious. Men who
work have no time to assault help
less women and innocent children.
The better class of white and blacks
owe it to themselves and the com
munity to keep the bum element
of both races busy or on the move
If they will not work, they must
go. This is the remedy. 1t was
the idle and vicious elements that
has made Springfield a synonym
for beastly ferocity The good citi-
zens of Illinois have a duty to per-
form. 1t is up to them to wipe out
the awful stigma of Springfield.
Let the Negro ravisher be arrested
and go before the court and no one
will say he will escape punishment.

be the only man of color to hold
down a seat at the opening of the

as no one man in the State of Ok

A vicious editorial of your issue
of September "a, 1904, opens with
the headlines in large type,
"Don't Need the Negroes .
"Lily- White Republican Bosses
Raise Bar Against Negroes, etc,
In your open 4etter of same date to
the presidential electors and state
officers of the Republican ticket
you brand the party as Lilly
White -
In your editorial of September
IA, 1906, under the caption, 1.-The
County Machine Wants No Ne
groes," after most bitter assault
on the local Republican machine
for not granting j. w. Jackson a
place on the legislative ticket, you
continue: Here at home the de-
cline of the black man in politics
has been rapid and sure. We could
not have been more certain OF the
regard in which we are held if we
had been told we are not wanted. y
Your virtuous wrath found express
sion in the most vituperative out
burst. You accused the party of
! nomin ating a man who you said
deliberately whitewashed muir
der case in which a black man was
the victim and a white man the ag-
gressor. And you concluded this
hot editorial with the suggestive
warning in separate line in great
bic type that, Something must be
done to offset this ill-treatment." "
Yes, dear colored citizens, and it
was done. He was placed on the
advisory board" and got his. y
Since then he has been as gentle as
cooling dove and as dumb as a
clam so far as the rights of the race
are concerned.
1t was an open secret known to
the white politicians in 1904 that
his fight was not sincere, that all
he wanted was little money. They
asked him his price. He told them.
They laughed at him because they
knew he couldn't do any harm.
And so he was permitted to shoot
blank cartridges from an old
blunderbus at an invulnerable OBJ
ject far beyond range, to his heart S
content. The spectacle was pitt
full one, and he realized it. But he
had learned his first lesson in prac-
teal politics. He had learned that
white politicians are very wise III
their generation and will not be
held up; that they generally size up
a man for what he is worth and
deal with him accordingly. With
this precious knowledge locked Sc
curely in his mind he made bluff
at the commencement of the cam
paign of 1906 of making war or
the party on account OF the same
shortcomings, now emphasized by
repetition. Oh, but he speedily quits
and gets himself appointed on tho
advisory committee. His de
mand was not very big this time
He had not forgotten the lesson hi
had learned in political adversely

At the closing recital of the Yale
School of Music in New Haven,
Conn, held in the great Woolsley
Hall, where nearly 5000 people
had assembled, the Lockwood
scholarship for singing was award
ed to Miss Efie Ella Grant, the
accomplished daughter of Ole OF
Connecticut's most progressive
colored citizens. Miss Grant is a
young woman of modest demeanor,
who has won her way to the front
by hard and conscientious work,
and she has made herself favor
ite among the best circles of Yale
dom by her superior culture, which
color could not obscure. 1t is un-
derstood that she will prepare her
self for a career as a teacher OF
classic music, Tor which she has a
pronounced taste. Whether it is
singing, teaching, spelling, talking
fighting, dancing, running, cycling
acting wrestling or writing, a Ne,
gro is invariably found in the
front row.

Chicago, August 16.-Five hun
dred members of the congregation
of Quinn chapel, one of the lead
ing Negro churches in this city,
were told by their pastor, Rev. ID.
P. Roberts, today to arm them
selves and be prepared to defend
their homes in the event Of an
outbreak here similar to that at
Springfield. "Arm yourselves and
be men," he said. IF a raging
mob surrounds your homes pro-
tect your household; and when the
man who would ruin your family
and destroy your property steps
across the threshold let him step
across the body of dead man."
He declared that America is cow
ardly nation, which, with power to
defy the world, refuses to grant
protection to innocent and defense
less people 40 years removed from
slavery because of the color.
Talks with the congregation indi-
Gated that the Negroes fear an out
break in Chicago and are prepar-
ing for it. The chief of police,
however. declare that the chance
of a race war here is remote.
