RACE CLASHES ARE
PUzzL|NG TO OUR
GREATEST LEADER
Especial to the Tribune.) }

TUSKEGEE, Ala, Sept 16.-R r.
Motion, Booker T. Washington's sue
cessor as head of Tuskegee institute,
declared in a statement regarding re.
cent rate riots in north and south that
it is difficult to understand why there
should be so much apparent suspicion
and bitterness on the part of both the
white and Negro races.
Reports Intense Feeling.
81 have never known the Colored
people to have more intense feeling
toward the white people than at pres
ent," Motion said. "and l have never
known a time when there was less
reason. I never knew a time when
the white people of the south. not only
leading white people, but the average
white man, were more anxious than
at present to be absolutely fair and
just to the Negro This is also true
of the north.
There was never time when the
south, and the north, too, saw more
clearly the value Of the Negro as an
economic factor in industrial opera
tions. I never knew a time when
southern white people felt more cha
grined and humiliated at the awful
crime of lynching than they do today,
and | never knew a time when they
were more determined to put down
mob rule, whether aimed at black or
white, than now.
'We, north and south, should make
up our minds that there is room
enough, there is opportunity enough
for Colored and white to work peace
fully and harmoniously here in Ameri-
ca, each living his life unhampered by
any act or any untoward attitude of
the other, and hope that our leaders
in every community, white and black
will get together and smooth out mat
ters that are misunderstood so that
America can teach the world that
black people and white people can
live peacefully and harmoniously in
our great country"

RACE NEWSPAPERS.
(New Orleans. La, Iteml

New Orleans, La, ltem)
Unfortunately there is a more or
less incendiary Negro press in the
North. These papers are sold large
ly because they continually harp on
the alleged wrongs committed against
Negroes, and because they are con-
stantly appealing to race conscious
ness.
They collect the most lurid stories
from every quarter which when they
are read and believed are bound to
stir up bitter animosities and resent
ments among the Negroes. They are
less newspapers than race propa-
ganda sheets.
These papers and leaders, encour-
aged by Northern Negroes, who have
political, social and financial ends to
gain, keep a great element of the Ne
gro race in constant attitude of hos
tility toward their white neighbors.

WHAT A SOCIALIST
THINKS IS PROPER
REMEDY FOR AN EVIL

The Negro is a Republican He has
been a Republican for fifty years. He
is Republican because his father was
a Republican. He is a Republican be-
cause Abraham Lincoln was a Repub
lican. He is a Republican for what
the Republican party once stood for
But awake, old black brother kepub
licans The Republicans have been
rioting on you for several weeks. You
received no protection in Washington,
d. c., even though the District of Co
lumbia is governed by Congress, and
both the senate and the house of rep
resentatives are made up of Repub-
licans.
In Chicago, the only protection you
got came from yourself, and yet Chi
cago is Republican city; it has a
Republican mayor. William Hale
Thompson. The state of Illinois, in
which Chicago is situated, has a Re
publican governor. The city council
of Chicago is Republican. The state
legislature of Illinois is also Repub-
lican. The grand jury. in Chicago,
which indicted "a Negroes before In.
dieting any white man, was a Re-
publican grand jury. The district at
torney who presented these cases
against the 54 Negroes was a Repub
lican district attorney. The police
who arrested Negroes land shut their
eyes when they came to white rioters)
were Republican policemen. The Chi
cago Tribune, the leading mouthpiece
States, has been as bitter in it's at
tacks on the Negroes during the riot
as the Atlanta Constitution. Compared
with the New York World, Demo
cratic mouthpiece, the Tribune sinks
into innocuovs desuetude.
OF course, all these papers, juries,
mayors and governors are farces
when compared with the Socialist
groups There is not Socialist or
Industrial Worker of the World paper
which sanctions riots. There is no in
clination at all to cater to the Ne
Socialist party, and the Industrial
Workers of the World is white. But
they understand the true cause of the
riots. They are not deceived by this
cry of race prejudice. They know
quite well that the whites will suffer
as much as the blacks from what has
happened They understand that the
packing interests and the capitalists
of the country want to keep the white
and black dogs fighting over bone
in order that they (the CAPITALISTS
may get away with the bone The en-
ployers will beat down, mob and
starve white working men and women
Just as readily as they will black men
and women. No talk of patriotism will
deter them from their purpose. Their
flag is not the red, white and blue
Their flag is a yellow flag; it repre-
sents gold Gold is also the flag ol
the Republican party. But Negroes
are workers. They are not capitalists
and. employers. They have nothing in
common with the Republican party
: They must get out of the Republican
party and get into the party which
represents. them-which represent:
the workers. That is the Socialis
party. So get in it!-The Messenger
for September.

NO DISCRIMINATION.
Rochester. N. Y. Heraldl

Rochester, N Y, Herald)
Back of this practical license OF. law
less whites to misuse Negroes of
whatever character and worth, and
underneath this pusillanimous con-
duct of the police, lies the indifference
of supposedly good citizens to the
sanctity of laws and of private rights.
If patriotic and law-loving Americans
of white blood were alert and insist
ent in their demand that there be no
discrimination by the courts and the
officers of the law between white of
tenders and black, there would pres
emily be an end of race riots and race
animosities.

PRESIDENT WILSON
GETS IN BAD WITH
SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS

Following is an extract from Presi-
dent Wilson's speech to a gathering
of Colored people in a southern town
The daily papers of that city severely
criticised the president for his re
marks, claiming that he was putting
the devil in the Negro's head" He
spoke as follows
81 have always known that the
Negro has been unjustly and un-
fairly dealt with; your people
have exhibited a degree of loyalty
and patriotism that should com
mand the admiration of the whole
nation. In the present conflict
your race has rallied to the ma
tions call, and if there has been
any evidence of slackerism mani
tested by Negroes the same has
not reached Washington. r.
Great principles of righteous :
ness are won by hard fighting and
they are attained by slow degrees.
With thousands of your sons in
this conflict you must expect moth
ing less than the enjoyment of full
citizenship rights-the same as
are enjoyed by every other citi-
zen.'
