THE MOTION INCIDENT,
(From the Cleveland Gazette.)

Major Robert Motion has. recently
been installed as principal of Tuske- !
gee, Ala, N. and I. Institute. He
made a favorable impression while
here in Rochester. Everyone regrets
to know that his wife was subjected
to such brutal treatment as to be
driven out of a Pullman car in Ala
bama. 1t appears according to re-
ports, that the riding in a. Pullman
car by the Motions had been a subject
of discussion before the journey was
begun. Mrs. Motion felt that she was
clearly within her rights to ride in a
Pullman car anywhere it went. The
white passengers complained of her
presence and when everything was
opportune, they depended upon the
usual law-breaking officials of Alabama
to drive a. defenseless woman out of
the car, in which she could travel with
comfort and ease, into "jim.crow"
car, where vermin dwelt. It is very
unfortunate for the white passengers
that their selfish ease and comfort
had made them snobs to the extent
that they objected to the presence of
the wife OF, the principal of Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial 1nstitute-the
school that the country says is "the
colored mans finest educational
asset" Is it possible that any white
woman could be so robbed Of the milk
of kindness and womanly instincts
that she would urge the driving of a
refined mother out of her berth which
she had purchased, which the COM
pany had accepted the money for, in
order that white supremacy might get
another boost? Above all do we re-
greet the reported statement issued by
Major Motion. He did not stand by
his wife in her fight for her rights.
He advised the submission to in.
human oppression. He is quoted as
saying that he "has the highest re-
gard for the traditions of the South,
he having been born there" We
commend him for his consideration
of the South, but we are amazed
however, at his foresaking his wife in
this hour of her humiliation. We also
have respect for the traditions of the
South that are humane and just, but
we denounce and Cpl ose the recent
traditions of the South which
: make them lynch, burn, Cypress and
degrade the colored race under the
disguise of Southern chivalry and
greatness" The officer that elected
Mrs. Motion was q law-breaker anG

2. Individual accumulation of wealth
must gradually and inevitably give
way to methods of social accumula-
ton and equitable distribution.
3. Finally: Cancellation is wise and
proper. But how far shall it go? It
is here that the Crisis confesses to it's
deepest solicitude in your case. It
cannot but remember it's unanswered
query of you in the case of the St.
Louis luncheon It has before it the
heading of a Rochester paper which
gives as your opinion that from
North one gets distorted view of
South" And finally, there is the re-
cent case of the Pullman car and your
family. %
The Crisis will assume in all of
these cases that you have not been
correctly reported; that you did not
voluntarily give up lunching at the
St. Louis City Club; that you did not
assert that the South was maligned
usually at the. North, and above all,
that you did not say that you had no
sympathy with the attempt of mem.
bers of your family to ride on Pull
man cars in the South.
" The Crisis knows only too we'll the
way in which Southern newspapers
put such sentiments into the mouths
of colored leaders; but the point upon
which we insist is this: that such
atrociOus statements cannot be al
ways passed in silence.
! We do not wish the principal OF
Tuskegee to spend his valuable time
in answering calumnies and misstate
ments, but we do believe that wher
so mOnstrOus statement is made, az
in the case of the Pullman car, some
thing besides silence and acquiescenct
is called for.
