Nine Fairgrounds, where white and

rural shippers that owing to the riots
and labor difficulties the packing

Various Causes Presumed.
Some white sources think German
propaganda, others I. w. w. influence !;
Bolshevism comes in for a little blame
also, but the general opinion from Ne
gro sources is RACE HATE, petty
jealousy over RACE PROGRESS and
another attempt to ignore the practi-
cal workings of the Constitution OF
the United States. Be that as it may,
whatever may be the cause, THE RI
OF Is ON and neither side is willing
to give up their position, therefore a
restoration to things normal must rest
with IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATIONS
which the city, state and federal gov
ernment should Immediately institute,
so as to accurately place the blame
for the origin of this accursed dis
ease that is making America the ridi-
cule of other civilized nations.
The Remedy or Cure for Mob Rule.
The remedy or cure for mob rule
and lawIessness lies with the author

suggest how to rule the lawless and

TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH WILL
RISE AGAIN.

We beg to acknowledge with much
interest a communication that came to
us this week from an eyewitness and
a distinguished character of our race
who was in Washington, ID. c., during
the recent riot. 1t runs thus:
My Dear Rivers:
The white press has flooded the
whole nation with lies about the
WASHINGTON RIOT. No white wom-
an was outraged. There was just one
and only one cause, Race Hatred for
the outbreak.
The greatest crime that the Negro
has committed here or in any other
section of the U. S. is the crime of
PROGRESS.
Yours truly, etc.

Doubling in his abject spirit,

SPEECH OF HON.
LAWRENCE C, PHIPPS
IN The U. S. SENATE
Strongly Advocates Preservation Of
American Institutions in LEAGUE of
Nations-WiII Support Leasus With
Reservations.
KKR. PHIPPS: Mr.. President, l de-
NI sire to say few words on the
AsA subject of Il league of nations.


Assuming that it were possible to form
a league of nations which would
First. Insure to the people of the
world n lasting peace, by the preven-
tion of wars between nations;
Second. Preserve the sovereignty of
the citizens of the United States so
that they would at all times be free to
decide questions affecting their own
nationality and inherent rights, such
as control of immigration and the levy
ing of proper tariff rates; and
Third. Leave exclusively to the de-
cision of the United States govern
ment the policies which it could adopt,
from time to time, for the control of
its foreign affairs and in dealing with
other nations
Such a league would appeal to me as
one to which the United States should
subscribe as n member.
The covenant for league of nations
as in corporated in the treaty of peace
being negotiated with governments of
the central powers and other nations
does not properly provide for any one
of the three conditions above named !;
therefore, in my opinion, it should not
be approved by the Senate of the
United States without first making
certain reservations of notifications
which would cure these defects.
The suggestions for amendment pro-
posed by Hon. Elihu Root appear to
cover what is needed to put the cove
nant in acceptable form, although fur
ther changes may be deemed advisable.
I believe that the thorough discussion
by the Senate of the proposed league
and of the treaty of peace is national
duty, with view to seeking, fairly
and impartially, the most practical
methods to be employed for the main
tenance of lasting peace. While it is

THE WASHINGTON RIOT.

-HE unfortunate happening IN
Washington, ID. c., is to lie de-
plored by all lawabiding citi-
zens. While this is true, it is
equally true that white men are gen
orally the fomentors of such episodes,
and are cowardly enough afterwards
to make colored men the aggressors.
As Il general rule white and colored
folks get along nicely together. In
very many Instances they are real
chumny. But differences between
them are just as liable to spring up
as they often spring up between white
men and white men. The only one
notable difference being if two white
men happen to get into an alteration,
man win. But if white man gets in
to an alteration with colored man,
and the colored man licks him, that
licked white man will run around and
gather up lot of white friends to go
after that one solitary colored man.
This, of course, brings on what Is
termed n race riot Due to the fact
that the colored man has sympathetic
friends, too.
Another element worthy of note is
the determination of the Southern
white hoodlums, dressed as soldiers or
sailors, who have been brought from
their homes by the eNigency OF war;
to do all in their power to create race
friction in any city in which they OBJ
serve that colored people are enjoying
privileges in excess of anything they
their hometown.
The editors of our white newspapers
know this is true, but are afraid to
openly confess it. They would much
rather increase their popularity with
their white readers by placing in pub
lie print all the blame for race riots
upon the colored mans shoulders. He
is the fellow who must be held up to
public contempt He is the fellow VINO
must be kept in cowardly subsection.
Even if Il white woman has to be used
in the drama to incite hatred.
This same spirit of moral cowardice
which is displayed by the editors OF
our dailies, is doubtless hereditary.
That this is true is often proven in
their Doyhood days. If a white and
colored boy have Il disagreement, the
colored boy will make an offer to fight
it out But the white boy will stand
sullenly and wait until a number of
white men gather around. Seeing
them, that white boy muSters up
enough courage to fight. Believing
that if he does not succeed in whip
ping the colored boy, that his sympa-
thetic white friends will jump on that
little colored chap, give him sound
humping and afterwards hand him
over to a policeman. The whole trans
action is cowardly and unfair, but that
is one of the methods adopted by
class which has inherited cOwardice,
and it's legacy may be traced to the
editorial room, the pulpit, the report
er's chair-eyerywhere
Race riots are the offsprings of law
lessness. Lawlessness is engendered
by hatred and hatred is fostered by
the public press.

UNEARTHING THE BOMB PL0T

While it is to be regretted that premature publicity
has aided in the temporary escape Of bomb suspects from
the meshes of the net which was being gathered around
them, some satisfaction can be cleaned from the an
nouncement Of federal authorities that they have arrested
a man who. they we're sure, exploded a bomb in the Chi
cago %postoffice a year ago, that they have discovered the
details OF another diabo1ical plot in time to prevent its
execution. and that they are in possession Of q mass of
information concerning the entire system of bomb out
RACES during the past few months and are in possession
of the plant from which these bombs are said to have
come. ..
Yet, with ali this, there is lacking the chief desider-
alum Of the actual arrest Of the men principally implicat.
ed. and, following that, their speedy trial and punishment.
The more quickly these things can be accomplished, the
more quickly will the whole internal business of the pro4
fessional murderer be stopped. ..-.

no stated reason that has appealed to the public a. war

face Of an urgent appeal from the president Of the United
States. who appealed to the men to delay. such action at

which 1t was called created the belief, and gavo warrant

not on the Improvement of the condition Of the thousands
whom they purported to represent, but to bring about a
strike in any case and thus give a demonstration of the
power Of their leadership. And the whole movement has
been viewed by very general impatience, disgust aud
anger.

tho effect of the failure Of the British railway strike on
the steel strike In this country. It is q fact which must

FLYING RUMORS

has given rise to numerous rumors Of an alarming nature
which, according to all the official information available,
fare ezaggerations. 1t is entirely possible. of course, that,

president has suffered from a cerebral lesion as a result
iof which he must refrain from the transaction of cfaciaa
business for a long time. But IT that is true his physi.
lcians have been pursuing what appears to be a senseless
lcourse. They know what the condition Of their patient is,
acondiuon as that described exists, they know that steps
must be taken to provide for the conduct of the work
sof the executive department of the government in the
manner provided in the constitution. In the face Of this
they have sent out reassuring bulletins which have led
ftae PUBIC to expect the early return of the president to
sh1s duties, and they have stated in one recent bulletin
hat II 1t were necessary he could attend to some urgent
business now.

could anything be gained by such a course. which wou,d
