OUR NEED OF .JUxfAPosiTioN.
(From the Boston Guardian

Ihat we much rather be, and asso.
clate among ourselves, is a saying by
Colored Americans that has become
almost trite. That is a mistake: II
Is q feeling OF avowed cowardice and
innate inferiority. It is an utter i'm.
possibilitay for the two races to sub
scribe to common government. and
at the same time, each race work Out
It's own salvation. The theory" has
been tried and resulted into CHASTITY
failure; instead of making for har.
mony and cordial good feeling be.
tween two races, it has increased
race hatred AMI antagonism in leaps
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach-
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that it only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
Tor US to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably follow.
We have followed this advice" faitl-
FULLY and have been rewarded in
terms of residence segregation, street
segregation, confiscation and loss of
property, Observation-Disclosures is
all of the blacklist pieces of legls-
latlon, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy of white
brutes = separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from non
resistance" and rather be by our
selves" That with the same degree
OF effontry and terrible legislation
with which our property is taken and
confiscated, with this same effontry
and legislation will our political and
manhood rights be taken from us.
That is fact. Every congress of.
fers legislation degrading and mimi.
cal to our we'll being. Race preju.
dice, therefore, can only be worn down
by attrition. We must send our
children, and 60 ourselves. to mixed
institutions and other places where
we can mix with the other races and
consequently become accustomed to
one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS
WE MUST WELCOME AND PRAC-
TICE JUXTAPOSITION.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was GOV.
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only $1,000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev.
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con-
d1tlons in the United States and the
West Indies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS of missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths Of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human.
ltarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian.
Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but I am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
Il do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man as we'll
as the black"

TINsEL cHlvALRY.

The Southern Caucasians are con.
tinually yelling about their chivalrous
regard for women and their determin-
alton to protect females from assaults
ETC., but In view of many happenings
in the Southland it is evident, that
that their chivalry is of the tinsel
variety.
Last year a Caucasian went into the
home Of respectable colored woman
In Wagner, Okla, and attempted to
assault her, but was shot by the
woman before he succeeded. When
the chivalrous Oklahomans heard of
the happening, the colored woman
who killed the white man in protect
ing her virtue was lynched by an
orderly mob Of the best citizens"
In another Southern state recently,
colored man was walking along the
street with his sweetheart when
white man made an insulting remark
about her. The colored man promptly
killed the white man and few hours
later he was lynched by mob of
Heading citizens
The chivalrous men Of Georgia have
allowed a law fixing the age Of consent
for girls 10 years, to stand upon the
statute boks, and in nearly every
Southern state It is lower than it
ought to be.
The Southern boast about defending
the honor Of women Is q LIE. South
ern chiyalry Is tinsel.

aliens. although they are more than
ninety-n1ne per cent Of American
birth; and there is a growing ten
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This is
being encouraged by q class of lead
ers Who call themselves Negroes"
and yell about NEGRO Kultur" al.
though they have not more than half
and often less than one-eighth of
Negro blood Such men ought to
stop the NEGRO" propaganda and be
Americans and demand justice be-
cause they are Americans and not by
the false assertion that they are
Negroes"
They should not have any rights as
Negroes" but every right of an
American citizen should be and will
be accorded them, if they fight for
their rights as American citizens by
right Of birth.

Embitters All but DociIe Negro.
(Elr0nn tho Co,xoaaL

In many of the Southern States,
years ago, colored troops were allowed
and maintained. One by one these
states disbanded the colored troops.
Georgia was better orgonized than any
OF the other states, and was the last
to disband the colored trops. In event
OF war, especially of any duration, the
colored man will be badly needed, but
has he been trained or has he been
encouraged to take up arms to fight
in defense of his country? He has
been prescribed and debarred of manv
privileges that are justly his and which
would embitter any other race but the
docile Negro.

THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN

Oswald Garrison Wizards recent
speech against hyphenated American.
ism was telling one.
Mr.: Willard was himself born on
German soil and of German father.
yet he is amazed at the divided citi-
zenship of some Americans Of German
ancestry.
He referred to Carl Schurz, and his
true Americanism and said "wha,
would amaze him more than to find
unnumbered Germans who, like him
self, come to this country to escape
the very militaristic autocracy thew
now uphold, today, denouncing the
nation that adopted and sheltered
and fed and clothed Them
Other races have shown strong
tendencies to form distinct bodies.
Mr.. Willard said, but the German
propaganda is, so far, the most ex-
tensive.
He then asked if it were true, as
contended, that the German Kultur
and political system were superior to
the scheme of life and government
In America, why the hordes who have
Hooked here did not 60 to Germany
instead.
Mr.. Willard said, that to allow ma.
tionalistic groups to develop in this
country such as they have in Austria
Hungary would be most disastrous.
He said, such proposal was "un-
thinkable to a true minded American. !"
For many years it has been the
custom to treat colored people as

HACKETTSTOWN. Dec. 27.-Steps
are being taken by the United States
government to have William and
Harold Martin, sons of Mr., and Mrs.
Ernest Martin, of Allamuchy, near
here. released from service IN the
English army, upon the grounds that
they are citizens of the United States,
having both been born in the United
States.
William left about six months ago
to join the English army and upon
his arrival was assigned TO driving a
supply automobile at the front. Two
months later his younger brother
Harold ran away from home to join
his brother at the front. He for a
time acted as chauffeur for an OFF,
GERS car.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin lately have
been receiving letters from their sons
stating the many hardships they are
undergoing in the trenches apd their
desire to return home. One of their
letters says: A few days furlough
in London and then back to hell in
the trenches"
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, who were born
in England, came to America many
years ago and located at the Tran
guilty Farms, where Mr.. Martin has
since been employed. The Martins
state that they believe the worst in
the war is yet to come and they de-
sire to have their sons return. The
necessary papers have been for
warded to Washington, D.. c., who
will forward same to England at once.

Mayors Conversion Is Prayer
in Atlantic City Churches


ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 27.-With
daily prayer meetings for the conver-
sion of Mayor William Riddle, thir-
teen Protestant churches and the
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion are cooperating in the prepara-
tions for the Slough evangelistic
campaign, which opens here next
Sunday with the slogan: Atlantic
City for Christ"
The church workers who have en-
gagged in the task of cleaning up and
redeeming the national playground
have concentrated their prayerful ef-
forts on Mayor Riddle, the champion
of the wide-open town.
In taking this position Mayor Riddle
not only assumed an attitude in direct
conflict with Rev. DR.. Henry w.
Slough. the Illinois evangelist. who
has fought the wide-open town idea
in all sections of the country, but also
focused on himself the united atten-
tion of all the evangelistic crusaders
of his own town. These evangelistic
crusaders believe that If they sue
ceed in converting him they will
have taken a big step in regenerating

SILK WEAVERS REFUSE
TOQU|T THEIR UNION
Surrender Jobs Instead of Cards
and Sheriff's Deputies Have
Nothing to Do.

SUMMIT, Dec. 27.-The expected
outbreak today among the silk weav-
ers employed in the night and day
shifts in the mill of the Summit SILK
Company did not materialize. To the
surprise of the mill owners. and the
keen satisfaction of Chief of Police
George w. Brown. the members of tho
police department and Union County
Sheriff George C, Otto and his depu-
ties, not one of the weavers reported
for work at Z o'clock, with the result
that in the vicinity of the silk mill
quiet prevailed.
Chief Brown, with seven patrolmen
and half dozen special officers, ard
Sheriff Otto and his squad of eight
deputies, who came here from Eliza
beth early today, prepared to quell
any disturbance, occupied themselves
in footraces in Morris avenue to keep
warm.
The action of the weavers in not re-
porting for work puzzled the mill
owners. as it was agreed last night
by the silk company and a representa-
tive of the day weavers that most of
the latter would surrender their union
cards and return to work today fol-
lowing the concession of the request
of the representative of the weavers
that fifteen men whom the company
had determined to bar from employ
ment in the mill would be only tenn
porarily suspended.
Yesterday afternoon, however, ennis
saries of the day weavers' organiza-
tion were busy visiting the homes of
the day and night silk workers, and it
is said as a result of these calls it was
arranged that none of the employees
would report for work today. The
weaving department is closed today,
but the company expects the night
force will report this evening.
Sheriff Otto left four of his deputies
on duty at the mill today, and Chief
Brown and his men are also on the
watch for possible trouble. Sheriff
Otto, with the remainder of his depu-
ties, will return here tonight, when
the night weaNers are expected to re-
port, The cases of sixteen of the
twenty-six weavers arrested Friday
for participation in the clash between
the members of the two shifts, some
of which were to have been heard to-
day before Police Justice Arthur w.
Hicks, were postponed until tomorrow,
wednesday and Friday.
Three men were fined S25 each on
Friday, and half dozen others were
released on bail to await the action of
the grand jury.
