Dinner Stories

There had been a quarrel Every
body could see that the minute they
came into the car The woman sat
with rigid Jaw, her hands folded for
biddingly over her stomach The man
scrooched down on his spine and
glowered at the signs across the
aisle. The car wondered. Then there
came dead silence as the car halted
to let off a passenger. Into the ST.
lence came the woman's voice:
IF 1t wasn't for me you'd be the
biggest fool in San Francisco"
Then for the first time the man
grinned. and the others grinned with
him.

a young lawyer Of his acquaintance,

Negro insults write woman, it is that
who must be punished, not any man
of black skin whom a mob takes notion to go
after. And if white men, singly or in groups,
attack or injure Negroes, or undertake to punish
even criminal Negro without due process of law,
then even the federal power itself should be cal
led into play, if need be, to discover those indi-
vidual white offenders and make them legally
amenable. Mass judgments of individual guilt
mob action to discover and punish culprits, are
Jet US say it plainly-too often tolerated with
respect to Negroes when they would stir the
country if, similarly, and with similar persist
ence applied to white men. It is time that such
injustice should be corrected All Negroes are
not bad, all whites not good. It is time for
this great community, the United States, to
recognize this fact, and to bring out and make
use of all that is good and true in each race by
setting itself fairly and fearlessly to discover
and to correct whatever is evil in each The thing
to be remembered, as a basis for thought and
action in this matter, is that the true solution Of
the difficulty lies in the discovery and correction
of evil, no matter where or by whom expressed.

Hyphenism Again?

A few nights ago big gathering of German
Americans in Liederkranz hall, in New York, said
and did things that should make the rest of US
stop and think.
Did those present rejoice in their American
citizenship and in victory in the war with the
forces of cruelty and oppression? Not noticeaby
This is what happened:
A speaker declared that Germans must do
all in their power to bring the German spirit,
kultur and education to America and to the
world Certainly this is no new idea We were
thoroughly fed up with this sort of talk during
the period when England and France were bat
ting desperately while America looked on.
And how did the speaker propose to intro
duce kultur into America? Why, by propaganda,
of course. Doesn't it seem remarkable that the
folly of this silly propaganda scheme hasn't been
recognized before this time by it's old friends?
A judge from Cincinnati, speaking partly in
English and partly in German, said that Germans
in America must do all in their power to support
and strengthen the "dear old Fatherland." He
was warmly applauded.
Most of us have rejoiced in the belief that the
war obliterated hyphenism. We had no better
soldiers than most of our boys of German descent,
many of whom won medals for bravery and
whoehearted effort. Their elders, once we were
in the war, seemed to yield at last in desire to
prove themselves 100 per cent American.
Is hyphenism coming back? Are we to face
the necessity of resisting new infiltration of
kultur? Are we to witness revival of stealthy
propaganda against England and France? Will
hyphenism get into our national politics again to
befoul and besmirch and degrade?
Let us hope that our good Americans of Ger
man descent will answer for us, NO!
We have sampled kultur, and do not like it.
Those who try to introduce it will fail, and get
themselves disliked in the bargain. We're all
going to be Americans now. We can sympathize
with suffering, even in the lands of former enc
mics, but we've got to stick together for An1eri-
can spirit and American institutions.

Negroes and White Responsibility


The Christian Science Monitor editorially dis
cusses race riots, arriving at the following con-
cusion:
White responsibility for just settlement of
the Negro question in the United States is
brought into broad relief by the race riots Of the
last fortnight in the national capital and in Chi
cago. That Washington, city of diplonatists
and world activities the seat of the federal gov

cities have the opportunity of knowing him.
should, nevertheless, prove unable to prevent
race differences from going to such extrenaities
AS have of late been a matter of record there is
an evidence of conditions that call for something
other than superficial treatment with the police
and the military. Armed patrols may keep or
der in the streets, but what is needed is that the
heart of this situation shall be set right.
Back of all the ill-feeing now existing be-
tween Negroes and whites in this country, it is
probably fair to say is the feeling of the Negroes
that they have perfectly well-defined and incon-
troverthie rights under the federal constitution
that are not being recognized for Negroes as
they are for white persons. The franchise right
is involved, but not by long way is it the prin-
cipal right. The principal right, undoubtedly is
the right secured under such assurances as these:

and with counsel to defend him. Cart. vi of Amend
ments)
The right assured by the sections of the con-
stitution here summarized is nothing less than
the right of an individual to justice under popu-
lar government framed, as the preamble to the
constitution expressly declares, to Establish
JUSTICE" as we'll as to Ensure domestic tranquil
lily" and to promote the general welfare" And
justice for Negro, under the American form of
government, can mean nothing less than that, if
he maintains himself as "a decent law-abiding
citizen, he shall have such protection from the
government as will assure him in his right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and
that if he does wrong he shall be punished and
restrained in his wrongdoing by the processes of
law, as provided by the government, under the
constitution. 1t is not merely necessary that the
whites agree to this, as already whites have stat
ed it it is necessary that the whites stand back
of these declarations and see them through.
Thus a high order of citizenship is demanded.
For it is going to be made clear that crime is a
matter of the individual, not of the mass. If an
