The Negro journal and periodical

people to agitate, agitate; fight,
fight, fight. without looking far
enough ahead to see what the con-
sequences will be. when the chal-
lenge is met, like Silas Lynch,
they call the masses together and
say, My people fill these halls;
they protest against your method
of lighting back at us" But the
only rejoinder which bears the Ne
gro up in these emergencies comes
from the National Negro Business
League. Its existence of fifteen
years tells history of the intelli-
gent use Of Negro opportunity
the industry, thrift, and progress
of race, the most marvellous in
the history of the world under like
conditions and in so short a time.
1t is dotting pictures all over the
United States, a fac-simile of the
one in this issue in contradition of
the Birth of a Nation, 1t is agi-
t ting the race problem. 1t is pro-
ducing the argument that means
something and registering the real
protest against the wrongs we suf-
fer from race prejudice in the
South. In truth, it is the organi-
zation for the advancement of Col

any communication through regu-
lar channels would bring down up
on the men the vengeance of the
race prejudice martinez who is in
command of the detachment.
This action of the detachment
commander is looked upon is u
gratu.tous insult and humiliation.
as tie Negro soldiers have been
stationed here since the organizing
of the detachment and not q COM
plant of any sort has ever been
registered against them. 1t is a
matter of common report that the
Negro soldiers are on the lest
terms with the white soldiers of
the post and with ihe civilians OF
the city. The soldiers feel that
they are being treated even worse
than their comrades were at Brown
vile. since the authorities in that
case based their action on the plea
thai was necessary disciplinary
measure. That argument, however
caunot obtain in this case.
Similar occurrences repo: ed
from the Philippine stations have
been pronounced without fouGda.
ton. but the most casual iuvesti-
cation will prove that the soldiers
at this station are discouraged and
depressed because of the uncalled
for humiliation which this segre-
cation order has put upon them.
The order was not issued until the
day of the exercises, April L, and
it descended upon the men like a

COLORED LAWYER MADE SPE-
CIAl JUDGE.

Little Rock, Ark. April 17-Hon.
Scipio A. Jones of this city was elect
ed special judge of the municipal
court in this city recently.
On account of the fact that Judge
Fred A. Isgricg had filed suit against
the attorney for the defendant in the
case, he was disqualified and accord
ing to the provisions of the new mu-
nicipal court law special judge had
to be selected by members of the bar
in court and Mr. Jones was unani-
mously chosen.
Considerable comment went the
rounds of the city regarding the Incl
dent, especially among the white peo-
pie and as a result of the numerous
queries as to why white lawyers
should select a Negro, Judge Isgricg
said:
Il suppose all the white lawyers
thought as | did, that for the trial OF
this particular Casa complaint
dllOuS NtSIOtS was pNNNAiAoAA' -
fitted by environment as well as
marked ability as a lawyer, and in rec
ognition of his reputation and stand
ing in the community and in the bar
of Little Rock, he was elected"
Mr.. Jones was admitted to the Cir
cult court of his county in 1889; to
the Supreme court of his state in 1900
and to the Supreme court of the
United States in 1905. He is chief
counsel for the Mosaic Templars Of
America and state counsel for the
Odd Fellows, knights of Pythias and
several other fraternal organizations
and a member of the executive COM
mittee of the National Negro Bust

SEGREGATION IS NOW
IN The j. S. ARMY

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, April
13-The Negro United States SOL
diers stationed at this point are sore
and sick under what they term the
rankest and greatest humiliation
which has been shown Negro sol
diers since the Brownsville affair.
For the first time in the history of
the service segregation found its
way into an army post, when the
detachment commander issued or
ders that all Negro enlisted men
with their families should occupy
a part Of the balcony separate from
the white enlisted men and their
families at the graduating exercise
of the class in equitation held in
the riding hall at Fort Leaven-
worth on April l.
1t has always been the privilege
of the enlisted men to attend army
functions in this hall, aud no dis
elimination has ever been shown
because of cclor until this occasion
The humiliation of the detachment
commander order is accentuated
by the fact that the Negro soldiers
are in charge OF the riding hall, SO
far as its care goes, and the order
also detailed Negro soldiers as ush-
ers to segregate themselves.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

We had four pairs of shoes TO
be repaired the other day and we
took them to a colored shoe shop.
The shoemaker had caught up with
his work and lad nothing to do.
We told him that we wanted a
quick job done, so he inspected
the shoes and declared that they
were not worth fixing; that he
could not fix them; and we thought
what he said was true. But we
happened to pass a white mans
shop and so we asked him if the
shoes were worth mending; he re-
piled yes" and in less two aud II
half hours he had the four pairs
of shoes mended and the amount
of two dollars in his pocket. When
we passed back by the Negro shop
he had locked up and and was
standing out in the sun with his
hands i'll his pockets waiting for
job, as he called it, and declaring
that the times were dull aud that
he could get no work TO do. The
white man had plenty of work to
do, was making money hard over
fist, only two hundred yards away

heart-rendering. passion n-creating.
pathetic appeal from the South to
discredit the Negro and justify the
Southerners in the extreme meas
ures which they mete out to the
Negroes; but it is overdrawn.
1t is one of the best illustrations
that has ever come before the
American public of how the South
ern white man overrates and gross
ly misrepresents the conditions in
the South to the disparagement of
the American Negro,
The courtships of Lynch and
Gus are so in the extreme that no
one could look upon such in real
life. The court room and South
ern legislature scenes are so OBJ
viousl y mockeries that they could
not be viewed in any other light
The white Williams with their Negro
tools arming and exciting the free d
masses of ignorant Negroes, the
street riots and Ku Klux raiders,
lynching and killing regardless of
law and order, are all incidents
which would naturally follow with
the conditions after the civil war
and the assassination of the eman
cipator and the only logical savior
of the South in Abraham Lincoln
1t is impossible for us to conjec.
ture what might have been the re-
suits had Lencoln lived and car
ried out his plan out his plan of
treating the South as if they had
never been away" Since that has
been impossible, it should not be
very difficult matter for us with
our knowlege of industry, arts and
science to look upon a production
of this sort without stretching the
imagination too far and view our
selves at remote period of our
history the tools of the white vii
lian, emulating the white mans
vice, villainy, and treachery. 1t
reflects more uron the whites than
it does upon the blacks.
We admit everything that the
agitators claim to the detriment of
this picture, "The Birth of Ma
tion," but in appealing to the sense
and reason of our race, we suggest
that the period from which it is
drawn is too far removed and the
Negroes of today are such au efful-
gent contrast to the Negroes re-
presented in the "Birth of a Ma
ton" that the picture will have no
damaging effect upon the intelli.
gence of America.
The picture teaches strong les
son to our race. 1t shows us that

Among our race and dating
from the jamestown colony which
was found in Virginia in 1907, we
have the so called Negro aristocra-
cy. who haze paraded the country
advising the Negro to "agitate; !;
fight; fight. for your rights" that
they might have power and revel
in white society with the masses of
our people barred spectators. The
word agitate is somewhat elastic
in description but the way in
which it is presented to us it ap-
pears in its worst forms: making
trouble, keeping up a disturbance,
and exciting friction between two
races which otherwise could live in
peace and harmony The word
flight" is challenge. In these
days man or a group of men can
get all the fight" they want and
more, SO when you make that
challenge you must expect to be
answt yed.
The white man is answering that
challenge, and how? In the South
it is by Jim Crow laws; in the
North it is by "a well. directed sys-
tenn of diplomatic ostracism; on
the stage with such plays as the
"Clansman" and in motion pic
lures such as The Birth of a Ma
tion.' Are we making rejoinder
by simply protesting his method of
meeting the challenge of fight;
fight; fight" in indignation meet
ings with oratory aud insolence.
We boast of our education; we
laud our scholars cf Latin and
Greek; we applaud our students in
music, arts and science, and yet in
MANY instances this education is
SO unb balanced that we failed to ap-
preciate the virtues of such teach
ings.
