and prophesies that extremists, anarch-
lists, preachers of sabotage and violence
of every type will find many recruits if
the negroes just grievances are not i'm
mediately put in process of removal"
A little more of such presentation of
the race situation, exclaims William
Marion Reedy in the st. Louis Mirror,
may precipitate what everyone would
avert; but that, he goes on to say, IS
only one side of it. The other side is
that it is folly TO dodge facts, to hide
truth. Mr.. Reedy comments further;
1.-THE problem can only be solved by
facing it Understandings. 1t is not in
soluble, either. 1t can be solved by as
surfing the black man of his rights and
confirming him in them-even as the
way to meet the menace of Bolshevism is
to redress the just grievances of the OPP
pressed and exploited white workingmen.
Lynching will not settle the race ques-
ton, as espionage acts, deportations, sup
preston of public meetings, will not
settle the question of the white workers
right to work under decent conditions.
"There is no question of social
equality of races. If such thing can
ever possibly be, it must be won by the
presently inferior race through activities
other than armed rebellion. 1t can only
can WELD the ballot, and all the 2,000,-
900 workmen of the South so they will

tions of white and colosed races are in
volved. He tells us tina. in casual con-
versations in Mississippi Delta cities the
following stimulants to mob murder were
cited TO him:
81. The nationwide campaign for
equal rights for negroes. This is specif-
cally referred 20 in the editorial of the
vieksburg Weekly Herald of May 16.
=. Induction of negroes into the United
States army, putting them on an
equality with white men, Cheap poll
tieians, of whom Senator Vardaman is
typical, refer to 'French-women-ruined
negro soldiers, using every resource of
this kind to fomept race hatred, which
is their chief stock in trade. 3. Survival
of the fear OF negro domination inherited
from earpet-bagger days. 1. The eco
nomic motive in all its variants, based
upon the determination to deny the
negro his rights, to keep the niger in
his place. 5. The sport in torture:
Page / of the Vicksburg Evening Post,
rec9unting the murder OF Clay, had this
passage: Have you had enough fun,
boysa a leader asked. Yes, cut him
down. g"
Unfortunately, Mr.. seligmann pro-
ceeds, racial animosity is exhibited not
only in lynchings Race riots are cen
stantly threatened.
"Not one negro 20 whom I spoke in
the Delta region but wished to get
come through moral development. But
the nation must in honor assure the
negro other things. Tt must see that he
is given justice in the courts. Denial
of justice must not be continued to help
out the economic exploitation Of the
negro. He must not be tricked out of
his pay for his labor. He should have
the vote, with whatever honestly APP
piled qualifications may be devised. All
that is required is that the negro be
recognized as human being with the
same legal rights as a white human be-
ing and no more. Such treatment sup
plemented, of course, by education, will
eventually generate in the negro that
self-respect which will enable him to
rule himself and thus command the re-
snert of others. If the South IS pc

Growing Friction Between the Races Is
Reported as . Result of the War
(From Current Opinion for August)

"The Habit of Torture'' and "Pro-
tecting Southern Womanhood" are the
titles of recent articles written, re-
spectively, by Prof. Edward Raymond
Turner, of the University of Michigan,
and by Herbert J. Seligmann for the
New York Nation. They raise the en-
tire negro question in its most sensa-
,Ional aspects and indicate that rela-
tions between the races are getting
worse rather than better. Professor
Turner's method is historical. With a
broad sweep and a grasp of detail that
at times is gruesome he traces the
history of torture throughout the ages,
eliminating in our Southern lymchings.
Mr.. Seligmann confines himself TO con
temporary events, which he treats in
spirit of indignation tinged with irony.
He tries to show that passion is aroused
over mob murders not because they are
committed in defense of Southern wo-
manhood, but because the entire rela-
away. Daily life for them is almost in
:olerable. Negroes are subject to every
insul. and abuse, mot to mention Jim
Crowism, and they have had too much
experience of the courts to rely on them.
II is not surprising that they have pur-
chased arms in number of Southern
cities with the intention of defending
their lives and the lives of their fami-
lies if conflict is provoked. A disastrous
race riot was narrowly averted in Mem
phis, Tennessee, on the nights of Fri
day and Saturday, May % and "a. Says
the Commercial Appeal of May 81:
There was powder train all over
Memphis Saturday. That there was no
explosion was due to sheer luck.
Somehow we have drifted into
a tense racial relation. 1t is nobody's
fault and yet it is everyone fault
Open threats of attack had been made
by white men, to avenge the death of
street-car conductor. The mayor and
city officials in conference were in
formed that the negroes of Memphis had
arms and ammunition and proposed to
use them in self-defense. Police and
sheriff 8 deputies were posted, and what
might have become a bloody race con-
flict was averted. With every lynching,
the danger of such conflict increases.
Convince men that they have no stake
in society and the courts, and no refuge
in an enlightened public sentiment; in
suit, injure, and degrade them without
redress and you create the desperation
out of which springs violence"
Many influential Southerners see the
danger that Mr.. Seligmann points out.
Many of the best Southern newspapers
are trying to create strong sentiment
against lynching. Many Southern EN-
ployers have worried over the exodus of
negroes 20 the North. But the Kuklux
have begun TO ride again. On single
morning, recently, they burned in Put
nam County, Georgia, five negro
churches, two schools and lodge hall.

Denies Troops Are
Responsible for Bisbee Riot
oone Snyden Commander of 10th Cavalry Says That Civil
lians Fired Upon Soldiers Who Were Riding
in Automobile

New York, Aug. s.-A denial hat
troopers of the 10th Cavalry started a
riot in Bisbee, Ariz., on July 3, has been
sent by Lieut. Col. +. s. Snyder, com
manding the regiment. Colonel Snyder
wrote that, after full investigation, he
had concluded that local officials had
planned deliberately 20 aggravate the
troopers so that they would furnish an
excuse police and deputy shefiffs 10
shoot unem down. He charges that mem
bess of the /. W. W. had influence in
this plot.
According 10 Colonel Snyder 3 account
the troopers did take a pistol away
from provost guard of the 10th In
fantry after he had taken pistol away
from o trooper without cause. He says
che troopers were culpable in this in
stance, but in no other. In the con
fusion that followed, the account says,
the civilian officials "then started 20
take pistols away from the eavalrymen
and TO assault and 'shoot-up' the
soldiers as soon rs they disaYmed them. "
The account says that the soldiers gave
up their weapons without firing shot.

How Shall The Black
Mans Burden Be Lifted?

war unnotieed, while the streets have
been befagged and whole cities turned
upside down to greet their white
brothers-in-arms.
At q recent convention of the Ma.
tional Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, held In Cleveland,
Ohio, speaker after speaker arose to tell
of prosecutions and barharism, Of denial
of justice in the courts, of contract sys-
TENS and terms of employment for
negroes, amounting virtually to slavery.
White and black, bishop and commoner,
army officer and minister of the gospel
have contributed to the depressing mass
of testimony, until the impression was
conveyed that, as Bishop John Hurst
said: "Negro slavery was abolished
over fifty years ago and yet today there
is worse than negro slavery in the
South"
At the same conference, a former
officer of the United States Army,
Major j. E. spingarn, assaulted the treat
ment of negroes in the army to which
they were called to die i'm behalf of
democracy and freedom. He had found
that having gone abroad to fight foe
that was accused of having "burned
and robbed and dishonored," he had left
behind him ga foe that commits even
more despicable outrages.
"When you read of ValoSt.s, Ga"
said Major Spingarn, "where a { e,
about to become a mother was rippea
open; when you read of Dyersburg,
Tenn, where a man stood and had burn
ing gimlets gouge out his eyes and his
body; when you say that duty calls
you today to right wrongs, by God, they
call you twice as strongly here"
The moral that this officer drew was
as follows: There are three ways for
negroes in this country to meet the in
tolerable conditions which are forced ON
millions of their race. The first is gun
in hand. But that is always bad argu-
ment. Then there is the ballot. But
the ballot is denied negroes in those
parts of the country where they most
need it. The third answer to terrorism,
despotism and subsection is the eco
nomic strike, "the weapon that all the
oppressed workers have learned to use,
and TO use well ON occasion.''
off you want to accomplish freedom, "
said Major spingarn, "you will never
succeed until first you have marshaled
all the 100000 black men so that they
DIR. W. Z. B. Du Bots writes in the
Crisis that the negroes are coming back
fighting for their rights and that they
will continue TO battle for them. He
and others exult that there are now
100000 black Americans trained TO arms.
The new Kuklux, they say, will not
find the negroes cowed as were the freed
men of 1s65-70; they will find men
ready to die for their liberties. "This
is the counsel of madhess,' says the
Nation; cit leads nowhere but to blood
shed without result Yet the editorial
