HUNDREDS FLEE ALABAMA
AFTER LYNCHlNGS.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 1st.-The
weekly reports in the labor market in
this city show that hundreds of our
people are leaving this town for points
north on account of the existing condi-
tions concerning the maintenance of
law and order Following the lynch
ing of three men here within week $
time, a general unrest was created and
every attempt to halt the exodus aris-
ing therefrOm has been without sue
cess. Additional TO the well-formed
idea TO desert this city came the infor-
nation that committee known as
the "Vigilante" has warned three OF
the most wealthy residents of Mont
gomery to leave town overnight. The
three men left without II second invi-
tation.
1t Is reported last week over fifty
men left for Rockford, ILL.,, where they
have been employed by large manufac-
turing interests.

BUSINESS TRAINING FOR
NEGROES.

Without sufficient number of we'll
trained Negro men and women it is i'm
possible for the business enterprises
now owned and operated by progress
sively efficient Negroes, to meet keen
competition and at the same time to
make substantial advancement. 1t is
easier to get capital than it is to get
efficient employees. Wherever a Negro
is doing a good standard business, we
should patronize him. We should not,
however, patronize an enterprise mere
ly because it is owned and operated
by Negro, but the high standard of
the business should invite and warrant
our patronage.
When we patronize Negro business
enterprises we not only supply our
selves with the necessaries, the imme
diate wants in life; but we help to
encourage and build up enterprises
that are providing lucrative employ
ment of high grade for an immense
army of Negro men and women for
whom it would be impossible to secure
a similar grade Of employment else
where. Such patronage increases faith
in and respect for ourselves, and
causes us to believe in the work we
are doing-Southern Workman.

A FORWARD MOVEMENT IN
DELEWARE.

A schoOl-building program of ST.
100000 for period of five years has
been entered upon by the new State
Board of Education. Toward this fund
Mr.. Pierre S. DUPONT has given 81
100000, of which 100000 goes to
ii modern and well-equipped school
building to every Negro community in
Delaware. No such building order has
ever been put in by any other state
A significant feature of the present
movement in Delaware is the private
endowment of public education. Here
tofOre in America two separate sys-
tens of educational support have pre-
vailed: first, schools maintained by
individuals and denominations through
private endowment; and. secondly,
public schools maintained by taxation.
These two systems have heretofore
stood over against one another as
rivals. Now, however far-sighted citi-
zens are throwing the weight of their
wealth and beneficence to reinforce
community schools, which are but
tressed by taxation and state control.
This fact dOubly intrenches public
education and gives an impetus to
community schools that will gather
momentum throughout the decades
The membership of the new State
Board of Education, as appointed by
Governor Townsend, is composed of
the leading busines men of the State.
In this way business sagacity is yoked
up in social service. The impact of the
of these men on the edu-
cational situation in Delaware has
been already transforming-Sout

USE OF COURT HOUSE REFUSED
CITIZENS.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 5.-The

permission to hold the Negro civic

loved this privilege before, but TINS

The Colorado statesman., 1919-11-15

-HE Negro did not run in Chicago
nor in Washington, and in my
l. Judgment he is not going to run
anywhere. And the reason is that he
has found himself. He knows now
that he is n man. That makes the
difference. He knows that he mas,
under the constitution of the Uhlteu
States. certain rights declared to be
inalienable. and that these rights are
denied to him. He knows that mere
iy because of the color of his SKIN ne
is nut at n disadvantage with his fair
skinned brother, and he knows th'it
the discrimination is an indefensible
wrong He knows that no matter what
NAV he his character, his attainmehts'
industry, skill or worth, every avenue
of advancement is closed to MIN De-
cause of his color. He knows that
bacouse of his color he is debarred
from making his livelihood by any
except the most menial occupations.
He knows that he and his children
are branded by that one mark of color
and consigned by it to the pit of
caste from which there is no escape,
and he feels in his heart and knows
in his mind that all this is contrary
TO elemental justice, to the American
tradition and to the law of God.
He sees elaborate preparations be-
gun to enforce the eighteenth amend
ment to the constitution, although that
amendment is but fanatics dream
and he knows that nobody intends to
enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the same constitution
although these embody his sacred
rights.
He has looked upon all these things
until the iron has entered his soul.
He will not run away again. He Will
stand and fight He has reached that
pojnt where man would as lieve die
as continue to live under what ne
deems intoerable condition OF MUS
tice. and when any men reach that
state of mind it is but wisdom to heed
their protests.
IT will be said in some quarters that
this stalwart state of mind in the
Negroes is the result of agitation
among them by pestilent trouble
makers; that if the Negro had been
left alone as he was at the close OF
the Civil war he would still be servile
and submissive; that foolish agitation
has put into his head notions OF equal
ity and Justice This is puerile non
sense and gross ignorance. The truth
is the Negro has been left quite alone.
Hardly one white person in miilloh
has ever manifested the slightest IN
terest in his welfare or wrongs. Inc
whole of his marvellous and unexan-
pled progress in the last fifty years
he has achieved himself. not only un-
aided but in the face of the Ditterest
prejudice and often an active oppo-
sition. Among people so avoid OF
education and so indOmitably bent
upon improving their condition some
form of revolt was inevitable.
From 1900 to 1910 the Negroes OF
this country, by their own efforts. re-
duced the percentage of illiteracy
among their people from 40 to 30, and
that in the face of the fact that South
ern states. where most of the Negroes
and most of the illiteracy exist, are
frankly organized to prevent Negro
education And it is from this source
and none other that the new spirit
comes,

Negroes A
Changed People

The simple fact is that being freed
from slavery the Negro was certain to
learn to read; that learning To read
he was certain to become aware OF
the stupid and baseless injustice prac-
ticed against him; that becoming
aware of this and being a man he
was certain to resent 1t. and some
time or other to turn against the
bullies that solely by virtue of SUI
perior numbers were torturing him.
, Well, that time has arrived, and the
question / want to put to the pro-
Tossing Christians of my country is
what they are going to do, now that
it is here?
What seems to be proposed in some
parts of these free and law-abiding
United States is sufficiently shown in
recent incident at Austin, Texas.
There is small and struggling or
ganization called the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People. 1t has no political or
social aims, but strives merely to up
hold the law and do good. 1t has
branch in Austin. which became in
volved in some legal difficulties owing
to the fact that, acting on eminent
lawyers advice. it had not secured
state charter. The secretary of the
association journeyed from New York
to Austin to adjust the difficulty. AT
Austin the judge of the county court.
the sheriff and another man assaulted
this secretary on the street beat and
mnimed him. and then sent him out
of town with n warning.
Apparently, the mere name of the
association had been sufficient to
arouse their anger.
When the association called this
outrage to the attention of the gov
ernor of Texas, he responded in n
cynical telegram upholding the assault
had sworn to enforce.
If this is the spirit in which we are
to approach this grave and overshad-
owing problem, we may as well under
stand now in plain terms that the con-
sequences will be appalling and of a
nature to cover America before the
eyes of the world with an indelible
shame.
With what effrOntery can we con-
tinue to urge peace, order and the SUI
premacy ofslaw abroad when at home
we trample upon constitution, law and
every consideration of justice and civ
iliZation to wreak our unreasOning
hatred upon our own citizens, whose
only offense is a darker complexion
than the rest of us have?
No people on earth have ever been
able to get away with such hypocrisy
and none ever will be.
The terms of the proposition before |
us are as square as a die and as plain |
as day. There are only two possible
solutions of the race problem in Amer
lea.
One is to give to the Negro citizen
every legal right possessed by the
white, every right of franchise, prop
erty and legal protection, north and
south.
The other is to exterminate him
to go forth upon an errand of whole
sale murder and kill every man, wom-
an and child of a darker complexion
than an established standard.
Which do we want?-Reconstruc-
tion.

constructed HOUSE OF 10 ROOMS.
which originally cost $4,000, at the
very low price of $4,000. The situa-

outlook, and would make an ideal
summer clearinghouse or fine res

could not be built for $4,000. 1t needs
some repairs, but a little money will
make change, in its appearance.

A MODERN MOVEMENT IN GAR
RETT COUNTY IN CHURCHES
Organization Among the Local Minis
tiers Effected at a Recent Meeting

tiers Effected at a Recent Meeting
A thoroughgoing plan of coopera-
ton between all of the evangelical
churches of Garrett county in their
entire educational and missionary pro-
grams at home and abroad-this is the
theme of the movement.
The pastors of Oakland met in ST.
Marks Lutheran church on Thursday,
August %, and began the movement
by selecting the pastor of that denom-
nation, the Rev. S. E. Wicker, as the
leader. A second meeting was held
at the same church on the following
Thursday, September 4th, at which
time a number of pastors from differ
ent sections of the county were pres
ent. much interest was manifested in
the plans and results of the movement.
A survey will be made of all the ev-
angelical churches in the county. This
will be supplemented by a survey of
every community in the county, relig-
iously, industriousally, economically
and socially.
Many allied nations of the world
have cooperated in the war without
losing their individuality or sover-
eighty. Surely the Christian churches
of Garrett county can do as much in
order to strengthen their work for
Christ and His kingdom at home and
abroad. A permanent peace among
the peoples of the world must depend
largely and ultimately upon the ex-
pansion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The coming of school of Missions
within the confines of the county will
mean much to strengthen the cause
of evangelical Christianity. The men,
bers of these evangelical churches
must be alert and enthusiastic in the
movement itself or else it will fall
short of its final purpose and duty.
Only thus can we secure an adequate
enlistment of young men and young
women in the heroic sacrifice of Chris
tian leadership.
Like q. mighty army,
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine
One in charity"
Rev. S. E. WICKER.
