After a mob of leading Memphians

dancing like wild Indians around the

AN INsULrTo PATRIOTS

The registration for the selective
draft is over. 1t passed without any
serious disturbances anywhere in the
United States, although many arrests
were made Of people who were guilty
of aiding the anti-registration propo-
ganda. So far as the dispatches show,
not a. single colored citizen of the
United States was delinquent in any
way whatever -.
And the colored people constitute
the only group of which this can be
said.
Now that the registration is over, it
must not be forgotten, the colored
citizens were subjected to an Infamous
insult and one which was not offered
to any other class of citizens. The
insult consisted of the inscription in
the lower left hand corner of the
registration card. IF person is of
African descent tear off this corner"
1t was an insulting classification,
separation and segregation to which
no other group was subjected, not
even German aliens and spies or
naturalized German-American thou
sands of whom are at heart traitors
to their chosen country and many of
whom would not hesitate to strike and
will not hesitate to strike for the
Kaiser, if the opportunity comes.
1t is said that the United States
has gone into war to fight for democ-
cracy. If this is true the undemocratic
conditions at home should be eliminat-
ed before the soldiers go abroad to
fight for democracy. H.

HARRIET eEEcHER STOWE

Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of
Uncle Toms Cabin" was born in
Litchfield, Conn.,, June IA, 1911, one
hundred and six years ago, and died
In Hartford, July II, 1896.
Mrs. Stowe was the wife of Prof.
Calvin Stowe and the daughter of Ly.
man Beecher.
J. F. Rhodes in his History of the
United States From 1860" says of
Uncle Toms Cabin:
THE author felt deeply that the
fugitive slave law was unjust and that
there was cruelty in it's execution: this
inspired her to pour out her soul in
protest against slavery. She thought
that If she could only make the world
see slavery as she saw it her object
would be accomplished; she would
then have induced people to think
right on the subject"
When Mrs. Stowe prepared the plan
of the work that was to become IA.
nous and profitable beyond her fond.
est dream, she was approaching her
fortieth year. Her husbands small
income hardly suflced to meet the
frugal needs of a large household. She
was worn out with the care of many
young children and the burden Of the
literary work she was doing to exc
out the salary of Prof. Stowe. There
was nothing but the prospect of bit
ter struggle for bare living when the
inspiration of a lifetime came to her
and she wrote her Uncle Toms
Cabin" When the story was first pub.
lished serially In the National Era, an
anti-slavery paper in Washington, it
obtained little notice. When, however,
it was put on the market in book form
it had the most extraordinary success.
Longfellow thought that while it
was one of the greatest triumphs Of
literary history. 1t contained an even
higher moral triumph.

" y. ~
David R. Francis, American ambas-
sador at Petrograd, has wisely issued
a statement, in which he explains to
the people of Russia the aims of the
mission headed by ex-senator Root
There is no person, says Mr.. Francis,
on the commission who desires to in
fluence Russian internal affairs. This
is intended to dispose of charges and
insinuations that have been made in
ultra-radical Petrograd organs. The
mission has only two functions, the
ambassador declares. One is further
to elucidate the motives and objects
of the United States in entering the
war, and the other to TRY to reduce
the burdens and privations of the Rus.
sian people,"
While so much is being done to aid
the Russian people, would it not be
we'll to "try to reduce the burdens and
privations" of certain classes of Amer
lean people, who are in many respects
greater sufferers than the Russians
are.

DEMOCRACY WILL GAIN.

Prof. Charles E. Merriam in an ar
ticle on the "War for Freedom" as
sumes that as result of the present
war both civil liberty and industrial
democracy will be the gamers in every
country in the world and the United
States will be no exception. Here are
some of the things he has to say:
"Since the outbreak of the war
democracy has achieved important sue
cesses, the significance of which may
we'll be carefully weighed.
First in Importance comes the over
throw of the Russian autocracy, and
the substitution of democracy. Even
the most optimistic friends of free
government had not dared to hope for
so swift and sweeping victorysas has
actually been won. .--=s r..
I'm England labor has been recog-
nized in the coalition cabinet, and
upon all great Industrial questions has
been brought into close cooperation
with the government. Home rule for
Ireland is we'll on it's way, and suffrage
for women is apparently about to
achieve it's final success. >--..-
''In Germany and Austria the rumb-
lings of democracy are being heard,
even above the roar of the cannon.
The abolition of the three class system
in Prussia; the Encouragement of the
Reichstag districts, which have been
unchanged since 1869; the grant of
broader suffrage in Austria, are con-
cessions which the ruling class must
make to the people.
ut is not possible to raise the flag
of democracy, and organize a great
crusade against autocracy, without ad-
vancing the line of democracy in every
country in the world, whether on one
side of the contest or the other. If
there are autocrats who hope to use
the name and seal of democracy as
means of obtaining political or eco
nomic privilege, they are doomed to
disappointment. They are Enchanting
democratic forces that cannot be
quieted without full recognition Of
their position in society and the state.
In the long run, both civil liberty and
industrial democracy will be the gain
ers in every country in the world.
America will be no exception"
War is horrible thing viewed from
any angle, but good will come out Of
it and when it is over many of the old
prejudices and distinctions which have
cursed the world will have been
burned away.

Commends Protest by Guardian and
PIanet-Race Will Protest Till White,
America Accords the Rights Which
Belong to Every American Citizen
STEADY Decline Of Rights Under
3. T. Washington Policy.
(From the Boston Guardian)
Washington, D. c., June /, 1917.
Dear Mr.. TrOtter:-I have just read
in the last issue of the Guardian your
editorial, including the editorial of Mr..
John Mitchell of the Planet, in which
he administers very just and timely
rebuke to DR.. Frissell for some things
which he says in the last issue of the
Southern Workman.
Rights Declined Under Washington.
1t is amazing that at this late day,
and after the STEADY DECLINE OF
OUR RIGHTS UNDER MR.. WASH
lNGTON's POLICY of quiet, unpre-
tentious service that DR.. Frissell
should be attempting to revive that
pernicious, un-American, unmanIy,
heresay Of quiet submission to wrong.
What God directed his prophet to do
was: Cry aloud, spare not lift up
thy voice like trumpet, and declare
unto my people their transgression,
and the house of Jacob their SINS"
And that is what we have been doing,
and will continue to do, until White
America needs the message, turns
from it's evil ways and accords to the
colored man the rights which Justly
belongs to him as much as to any
other American citizen.
Let FrisseII Understand Once and for
ALL Time. ~
DR.. Frissell had just as well under
stand now, once for all, that the policy
for which he-stands, as regards our
rights, will never be accepted by the
colored man. And the inculcation of
such a policy comes with very little
grace from white men who never
think of following it when their own
rights are involved.
Think colored Unlike Whites.
1t is because, after all, they think
that the Negro is made of a little diff
ferent clay. and tn erefore that it is
alright FOR HIM TO QUIETLY SUB.
NIT TO WHAT WHITE MEN
WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO
SUBMIT TO, AND, WOULD NOT
SUBMIT TO WITHOUT THE MOST
VIGOROUS PROTEST?
Put Themselves In Our Place.
If some of our white friends would
put themselves in the place of the
colored man, and realize that there ia
no essential difference between the
cOlOred man and themselves, they
would be saved from some of the fool
lsh things which they recommend at
times.
Let the Agitation Go On.
Let the Planet, let the Guardian, let
all the colored newspapers, continue
to speak out, and, in every other legiti-
mate way, LET THE AGITATION GO
ON. 1t is in vain for DR.. Frissell, or
any one else to try to stop it.
Yours for equality of rights for all
citizens. regardless of race or condi-
tion. *

Commenting on the editorial in the

this issue, Directing to one of the
points in DR.. Frissell's recent memo
rial, the Guardian says:
"Thus saith in very truth the Planet.
I'VE rise also to deny directly that
the quiet service lives of Booker
Washington or of Russo Motion Sc
cured recognition of rights. The most
striking thing about the race-leader.
ship career of DR.. Washington was
that coincident with it went the great

of legal debarment from rights ever
known in any race and especially dur
ing the time DR.. Washington preached
most pronouncedly the doctrine of
quietly deserving rights. No further
