kee Journal.
To the Editor of The Journal
We most heartily commend your
editorial under the caption Be
white" to Them. Our regret is
that The Journal is little late
in this announcing its champion
ship of our black citizens. Dur
ing the long half century since
the black mans emancipation
from the auction block as a mere
chattel, he has been under social
and political ban shockingly out
rageous to him as man and bru-
tally unworthy of us as demo-
cratic nation. A hundred and
fifty thousand black soldier boys
are on the firing line in France,
stopping the German bullets with
their bodies, to save America s
cause. What a return those black
boys are making to this nation
in view of East st. Louis and
Houston and the death of 5000
of their race besides, victims of
fire and bullets at the hands of
lawless and unpunished mobs
How can we preach equal justice
and democracy, making it the ba-
sis and keynote of our share in
the world war, while still tolerat-
ing these awful crimes under the
miserable Subterfuge that the ma
tional government is powerless to
protect the lives of citizens in the
several states? Keep up the out
cry against this dreadful condi-
ton until all men shall hear.
though it trouble this nation of
Lincoln and Washington, as the
land of Israel was troubled by
the cries of Elijah, or until this
hideous crime of mob murder of
a subject race, unhindered by To-
cal law or public sentiment, shall
cease.
