RACE RIOTS

Chickens come home to roost, even in the nations capital,
and the dragons teeth sown by foolish or vicious social equality
advocates have grown up into armed men. For long Wash
lngton has been the Mecca of the coored man. Here, if he was
fortunate enough to obtain a clerical position in any of the
departments, he enjoyed some degree of social equality. The
government made no distinction, and ~busybodieS from the East
were continually urging the colored people to assert their
nights. AT first these rights" amounted to walking up to a bar
and drinking whisky by the side of white men, and often as the
guests or hosts of white men. Later rights meant sitting at
the same table with white men and women in restaurants and
hotel dining rooms, theaters and all places of public amusement.
Sensible negroes are not demanding social equality. Ali they
want is fair treatment and equal money for equal service. All
attempts at social equality have proven abortive, because the
negro will not have it. He is going to be either above or below
the white man. 1t irks him to be on an even plane. The races
are better off when kept separate, and Washington is finding
out that departing from this rule brings disorder and r~etribution.
The negro knows that the white man who seeks social equality
with him is beneath him and an unfit associate.
Strangely enough the soldiers and sailors who had social
equality forced on them while in the service are the ones who
are creating most of the trouble. This trouble will continue
and grow just as long as white women are assaulted by colored
men. Service abroad has put a good many wrong ideas into
the colored mans head which he had better get rid of at home.
They will not work peacefully. White women in Paris made
much Of the coored sailor and soldier, but. these were the demi-
monde and are no criterion.
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, has introduced, a bill pro-
viding for Jim Crow rule on street cars. 1t will not pass. The
Republicans are in power, and let them deal with their wards
as they choose The white men who are arrayed against the
negroes in Washington are not hot-headed Southerners They
come from all, sections of the country. The hostility is not
geographical nor sectional, but purely racial. 1t is in the blood
and bone. There should be no rows or riots, and the govern
ment by putting soldiers on police duty seems fully determined
on keeping the peace.
In the South the races get along amicably together. Here
the white man is the negros best friend, and leaders of the col
ored race realize the fact. Those who stir up strife among the
races are the friends of neither, but the worst enemies of both.
In the aations capital surely order can be maintained and peace
preserved.
