When II comes to talking like
saint and acting like devil. the
average southern white. democrat
simply takes the cake. A year ago,
when German arms were marching
toward Paris and the Western Front
was moving daily toward the setting
sun, democrats Of lie Southern brand
were ringing the church bells for
prayer and making colored men late
IT their work by talking about the
possible defeat of "our country" and
what would happen to "us." II the
Central Powers should win the war.
AS soon as tne armistice was signed.
to hi with tho church bells and
the prayers actually turned to curses
on their lips. AS for the Colored
man, his presence became obnoxious,
the "our country turned to this
Is q white mans country"
All this was followed UP by mobs
and murderous and every other
species OF helllshness, known to the
barbarian and the savage. Midnight
Riding Clubs, Lynching Parties, Rife
Rangers and Ku Klux Khan organi-
cations were born In a night and
the patriotic % south. so recently
marching shoulder to shoulder with
the Afro-American against the Central
powers, had turned tail and stood
ready to do any crime necessary to
put the "Nigger back In his place.
In the face of all this chaos and
confusion the Colored man must keep
his head. He must not allow the
waves OF prejudice as they come over
to prevent the idea obtaining that
he is a citizen Of this country. He
must mott relinguish the right, he has
by birth; but rather, he must sci
himself to the task Of overcoming
evil with good. II never before he
must come to realize that his destiny
is in his own hands and not in the
hands OF his enemies. Let him know
I that resident in himself Is the power
to break his chains This thought
must have his constant care, and
building on this thought he must or
ganize and work as one man to be.
come possessed OF the privileges and
rights guaranteed him by the consti'
tuition and the law. He must come

EXPRESS WANTS PROTECTING
LAW.

At several places in Texas recent
ly, white men have interfered with
the sale and circulation OF The Dallas
Express. Against these acts we en-
ter our most solemn protest. The
Dallas Express is a great religious
weekly, but not sectarlan. II believes
that the Republican party is the
ship, all else is the sea- and further
Il is certain that but for that party,
the Democratic party would have
destroyed the. Union from 1S61-1865,
in order to perpetuate human slay-
cry. 1t stands for law and order.
II demands square deal for all
elements OF the population.
AS a physical property II repre-
sents the humble efforts and savings
OF small body of law abiding Color
ed citizens, who undertake to do a
legitimate publishing business, at the
same time maintaining healthy pub
Tic sentiment, and earning a live
lihood. In these laudable undertake
ings ask protection in the courts Of
the country.

THE PERISCOPE.
(By The Associated Negro Prees).
The Mississippi Governor.

(By The Associated Negro Press).
The Mississippi Governor.
/, The Governor of Mississippi, in his
pigmy sense of justice has stated
a fact. Previous to the lyinching
of another Negro, when appealed to
for assistance, he declared his in
ability to do anything, and said: NO
body can keep. the inevitable from
happening" That, indeed, is a his
torical utterance that will be re-
membered with the great utterances
of all times.
But aside from the fact than this
tiny Governor Of state. where more
than half of the population is Negroes
made this statement regarding the
inevitable" lynching of a dying man,
it must be applied to him, and to
all others and all things South, and
North too, where prejudice, unfair
ness, and discrimination of any kind
to any and all are practiced.
AS surely as the sunshines, or as
the stars twinkle, or as God is just
which he undoubtedly is-the in
evitable is going to happen to all
those countenace or participate IN
any or all forms of crime or OPP
preston. 1t is going 70 happen,
calmly, orderly and lawfully it is
hoped, but God hasten the day.
In the Enemies Lines.
The formation of the Lincoln Lea
que Of America is new departure
The white South wishes it thorough
ly understood and advertised that In
the matter of dealing with the Ne
gro, its ideas shall prevail. Counsel,
cooperation or advise have been con-
sistently and persistently resented,
for the most part.
On the particular subject of voting,
the white South has openly and
boastingly defied not only the Negro,
but the United States government.
Thus far it has gotten away with
| both without any considerable trouble
or worry. The strong possibility OF
Woman's Suffrage being attached to
! the constitution of the United States,
/ has recently caused considerable
worry, and movements of the Lin
coin League kind are calculated to
cause trouble, in the event that To-
! gic and reason are eliminated in the
program-and when 1t comes to deal
! ing with the Negro, those two ele-
ments have never been pinacel, as
! it were.
Nevertheless. and Notwithstanding.
the Lincoln League of America has
set out to perform a necessary task
I in fundamental, progressive, intel
ligent, determined and conclusive
way The League is making no
threats hut the whites have already
done so to number of the southern
members who have declared them
selves. It is to be hoped that the
League will not weaken, and that
southern buffoonery, so long prac-
ticed, will not alarm. The Negro
must be accorded the privilege of
voting in the South, ana the southern
whites-if they are superior as
they claim should be good and win
or lose on merit.
