10 The Editor OF The Planet,
Chicago, Ill, Sept. 3.-~licrc In
Chicago there is IL race leader OI
the name Of Bcaurcsard MoSciy. He
would have us "rcmcmhcr that this
is a white mans country thus deny
ing the just claims OF black men OF
other races who, with blood and hraln
and Drawn, helped to make this coun
try u home and Il nation for all OF
its citizens. 1t is dcp.orablc, but not
at all strange that the addic-brancd
twaddlc OF such unmanly llcksplttles
is given prominence III some OF the
leading white publications OF America.
We cannot get rid of these Race Az
noluS, but We can let the world know
that their infamous niouthinSS cX
press the thought OF nobody save
that Of their own scrpentinc selves.
The man who defends his home is
a hero and not Il hoodlum, whatever
his race. We cannot believe that ho
is "A riotcr, whatever else he may be
or such were the back boys who, i'll
Chicago AS in Washington went oui
and met the enemy III the frontier
tlrlng nno. Tho result is history.
Some call it riot but il WIS war;
aud it MAS Of the Well known brand
that Sherman named.
The fact is, we have lost confidence
in the white lawmakers OF this coun
try who pcrsccutc us with their pre-
judicc and lynch us with their laws;
who lcgislatc against our justice and
justify themselves with their lies;
who mock our misericS ands burlcs
l,it his. a
and friends, listen: II We must die,
we intend to die defending our homes
and loved ones. This Is not Il boast;
it is the statement Of Il plain fact.
We are confirmed in the faith that
we are right in this. We are sure
thHt some living conditions are worse
than death. In the event OF that
worse, we choose death but elect to
take with Us plenty al FIRST hand 'cNl
0cucc" when We appear before the
bar CT ST. Peter to account Tor oar
premature arrival there.

that the mob violence against MS III
