PEACEMAKER WILSON

Ii the world from a gentle or even Il
Jewish viewpoint believes the Jews are not
getting an equal chance in Poland, then, l,
Ignace Jan Paderewsky, Polish premier, in
vite President Wilson to name commits
sion to go to Poland and make a thorough
investigation Of conditions there so far as
the Jew is concerned" came over the wires
last Monday morning. It is said that
Paderewsky has lifted all of the former
bans placed upon the Jews in Poland and
they are not only as equal before the law
as any other citizen, but are being given an
equal opportunity in the pursuits Of life and
happiness, all of which is very refreshing in
the light Of the past, when Jew got but
little more consideration than the lower
order of animals
But the idea of President Wilson sending
a commission to Poland to inquire into the
treatment of class of human beings resid-
ing therein is like unto carrying coal to
Newcastle. Cruel as may have been the
treatment Of the Jews in Poland it pales
into infnitisimal insignifcance in comparison
to the treatment the Negro has received and
is daily subjected to in the United States,
especially in that section hereof known as
the Sunny South Two weeks ago this
paper reproduced an article from the May
number Of the "Crisis,' that was so shock
ing and nauseating in brutality that it was
unfit to print and circulate in a Christian
community Think of lynching two girls,
respectively sixteen and eighteen years of
age, each pregnant by the same white brute,
and, at the same time, two twenty -year-old
boys because the quartet was supposed to
have murdered the brute who had seduced
the two girls Think about burning human
beings on the public squares, where the
white men, women and children fight for
souvenirs of the unfortunate. Think about
hanging a woman up by her feet cutting
her stomach open, which contains an unborn
babe, which falls to the ground and is
stamped into mince meat by the fiendish
lynchers. Think about the kicks cuffs, in
suits and public rights denied the colored
citizens Of this country from Maine to
Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
not because they merit such harsh treat
ment, not because they are public parasites,
not because they are prowling pirates, not
because they are pestering piferers for
their daily bread, not because they are
ignorant, dangerous criminals, but because
their skins are black. and the skins of the
dominant class of this land of the free and
home of the brave committing these brutal
outrages are white. Think about all of
these and thousand and one other annoy
ing circumstances that impede the onward
and upward march of the colored man in
the United States and you will conclude
with us as to such a commission, FEConsist
ency, thou art a jewell"

Negroes were murdered, inundated and

have all been president of Mexico by virtue
of the fact that their followers murdered

other words, Wilson's supporters used the
same identical tactics to put their man into
power as did the supporters of the various
Mexican rulers, and we therefore fail to see
in what manner or way President Woodrow
Wilson is any more Of an humanitarian than
was Huerta or is Carranza. The murdered
blood of the Negro Of the United States IS
probably not directly on the hands of
President Wilson, nor has either Huerta or
Carranza ever been charged with actually
committing red-handed murder, but if all Of

American Merchant

Fact, Asserts Hurley

Chicago, April 25.-Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping board, in address
ing the sixth national foreign trade
convention tonight, declared that
with an American merchant marine
established, business men of this
country had no reason to fear the
competition of Great Britain or any
other country in extending their ex-
port trade.
He said that the government al
ready had made adequate plans for
the necessary ships which were the
controlling factor in the develop
ment of foreign trade.
A large export trade, he said,
meant prosperity at home. Wise
legislation and close cooperation
between the government and bust
ness. he said, were necessary in the
development of foreign business.

Cold Wave With Snow
Sweeps Territory On
East Of Mississippi

Washington, April 25.-A general
cold wave, with snow hurries and
freezing, temperatures, prevailed to-
day over nearly all of the territory
east of the Mississippi river.
Although no April records were
broken so far as reports received
here indicated, the cold was unusual
and will not begin to shade off be-
fore tomorrow and Sunday. Nue.!
crop damage was predicted, al
though high winds 1ast night saved
early crops from greater destruction
In looking over his map today the
weather man said it was entirely too
cold for base bali, especially as the
wind still was high, and rather in
clined to show that it was trying to
reach yesterdays mark of 40 or so
miles. Many cities in the south re-
ported that it was more like foot
bali weather.
The cold, however, will not reach
Florida.
