The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-11-04

the above legislation wholly unneces-
sary in This same National Admins
tration makes 1t one stronger and in
PRODUCES a bill to prevent the enlist
ment of Negroes in The Military Ser
vice of The United States. blouse
Resolution 1888, introduced by Mr..
Caraway, July 81, 1850 SHADES OF
LINCOLN, what will they offer next?
Bunker Hill forgotten, New Orleans
ignored, FL Caney and San Juan
Heights thrown to the wind. The
Peace(?) around Carrizal, in Mexico,
where the blood of our boys as well
as Officer Boyd is still crying from
the ground for the higher wisdom in
statecraft, this, too, is all forgotten.
Not content, this DISTINGUISHING and
Discriminating party now in power
goes further: To require all trans
portation companies, firms and per-
sons in the District of Columbia to
! provide separate accommodations for
the White and Negro Races, and to
prescribe punishment and penalties
for violating its provisions. Oh. r. II,
December G., 1850 1t looks as if the
Party has been running a race to see
how little it could make us as a Race
and could make the Nation small and
insignificant in the eyes of the world,
for it cannot mistreat the humblest
citizen of the Nation without shaking
to it's very base the foundation of the
entire Fabric. And now the Greeks
come bearins>gifts in the face of this
record. They bring us a wooden
horse in the shape of %janitor ships; a
wooden horse in the shape of Princi-
palships of State Schools wooden
horse in the shape of a few paltry dol
lars that will not last through this
winter. God forbid that any Ameri-
can citizen should sell his birthright
and especially any Negro citizen of
this Republic. If it makes 10 differ
ence to you, remember your children
and their children, and if it develops
that you are not concerned about your
posterity, then remember that you owe
a debt to m posterity. Shall we nc
. longer have the right of Franchise
Shall we be soldiers no more? Are
we not at least as entitled to the rights
of the constitutional reduced to tina
> as is the Italian, the Indian, the
Pole, the Turk, etc, who will not ever
take out Naturalization papers, anC
even if he does take his Natural
!, ization papers? What will the men
. real men-of big hearts and big brain!
, say on the It'll day of November il
answer to these questions ? You will
not speak to us audibly-and l an
neither asking or expecting it, but OF
: the 7th of November, 1916, when Their
!, is nobody in the booth but you an,
: your Maker put your stamp of disaI
prevail upon all unjust Legislation
whether it be a Negro, a Corporation
or whatever it may be that the men
and persons of this Republic may en-
:. joy such rights as are vouchsafed Il
them by the Constitution of the same
Other National questions l have lief
= untouched in this communication, bu
= would make this observation, namely
All hat glitters is not gold and
casual study of most of the Nationa
policies of the Party now in powe
; will disclose the fact that while Their,
: is much glittering, there is preciou
little gold. Let us hear the conclu
! sion of the whole matter-Give u
Charles Evans Hughes for Presiden
of the United States and a Republican
Congress and the Ship of State i
safe.
