Election has shown this to be a question
that will not yield to legislation or
mob regulation, for you only have to
glance at Georgia, Alabama, Texas
and other states south of the Mason
and Dixon line where segregation
brought about by legislation or other
wise, only tends to make matters
worse. The Negro is here whether
by accident or design and here he in
tends to remain; all he asks is that
justice be given him, seeking no spe-
cial favor, asking no special law, but
demands the right to the pursuit Of

Sheadriek B. Turner, serving his Sec
ond term in the legislature, strenuous
ly opposed this bill and was more
than instrumental in conducting a sue
cessful campaign that lead to the de-
feat Of the bill Among the salient
points brought out by Mr.. Turner on
the floor, was this, "there are no COM
missions formed for the Poles, Ser
bians, Croatians, or any of the other
nationalities that dwells beneath the
Stars and Stripes and why therefore
should there be one for the Negro,
when even handed justice and fair
play is the one and only solution for
the racial troubles of our country"
Mr.. Turner'S record on race matters
has always been four square and had
this bill any merit whatsoever, l am
sure none would have rallied to its
cause any sooner or more earnestly
than the Wizard of the First Dis
trict"; Lee O'Neil Browne, Judge Will
liam H. Dieterich, Lawrence C..
0'Brien and many others Of the lead
ing Democrats and Republicans OPP
posed this measure because they felt
that it was unjust in its application
to the Negro. Some very strong
speeches were made against the bill
by leading men Of both parties whose
terms Of service in the legislature
stretch over a span Of years.
In the Herald Examiner of the first
of August, there appeared an article
headed "Lowden Plans Adjustment Of
Race ISSUE" stating that he would ap-
point these commissioners who would
work out a solution for the race prob
lem. To be more specific allow me to
quote verbatim from that article: 81

Governor, composed of four or five
colored men who have nothing to do

an equal number of white men Of the
same caliber. They would be men
who could through the creation of
public sentiment, create among their
people an understanding that would
soften the feeling between the races.
There would be a tacit understanding
that the colored race should occupy
certain areas for residences, certain
beaches and parks for amusement and
so on. By the same understanding

Bill No. 155 provided for a board Of
Race Commissioners was introduced
in the House, by my colleague, Honor
able Adelbert II. Roberts, referred to
the committee on Efficiency and Econ

House; this bill was afterwards with
drawn from the calendar; while it
was on the calendar, Senator Wheeler
introduced the same bill with a few
minor changes, in the Senate known
as Senate Bill 357, which passed the
Senate, reached the House in due
course, but did not pass, having failed
to receive the required number of
votes. 1t was a common understand

F r E E SIX NEGROES FROM
STOCKADE AT GRANT

CAMP GRANT, ILL.-Half dozen
Of the cOlored soldiers court martialed
recently at Camp Grant upon charges
Of completely in connection with an at
tack upon a Bloomington, Ill, woman
here in May, 1918, have been liberated
from the military stockade, it became
known today.
While camp authorities made no
official announcement that the six
Negro soldiers had been found not
guilty of the charges preferred
against them, it was unoficially ad-
mitted that the men are now attached
to the Negro casual detachment at
51S South, under command Of Lieut..
Charles Dickerson.
Army court martial procedure pro-
vides that following an acquittal, the
accused men shall be restored to duty
with their old organizations. Al
though given their freedom from the
stoekade where they have spent more
than a year, the Negroes will not be
officially returned to duty until an
nOuncement Of the general courts mar
tial findings is made in Washington
by President Wilson.
The Negro soldiers who were de-
PENDANTS in the case and who are
now released from the guard house
are: Privates Elizer Chapman, An
drew Fields, Iron Townsend, James
Reel, Clemmie Johnson, Colonel Jack
son Cheeks.
With the exception of Chapman,
who was brought back from France,
this Spring to face trial all of the
sextette were tried and convicted at
the first general court marital held
at Camp Grant in August, 1918.
Army law provides that conviction
upon either Of the first two crimes
may be punished by DEATH or by such
a penalty as the military court may
provide. Should capital punishment
be inflicted upon any Of the six men
alleged to have been convicted, the
sentence viii be executed here.
A transcript of the record trial is
now in Washington where it is await
ing final review by President Wilson.
If he approves the sentence of the

published there by the Judge advocate

THE RACE COMMISSION
By DR.. NJ. A. Majors.

The Governor has appointed the
race commission. Since we have it
let US see if we can find a use for
it. The unsettled condition of the peo-
pie just coming out of a great war
has been the cause Of much of the
chaos that now exists.
Hundreds Of thousands Of black
men who went to war, went to fight
and die for q cause outside Of their en-
vironment, and for q country that
lynehes, burns, and murders them at
will and for which they are without
redress. They carried the flag, and
then brought it back with honor, but
they met dishonor on their return. In
the battle zones the only humiliation
they suffered was from white Ameri-
can soldiers and officers.
The question Of race prejudice has
been an incubus. A people long
wronged by the tyranny and oppres-
sion and borne brutal useage almost
-ithout complaint viii in the final an
Alysis have an awakening If they pos
sess a spirit and q conscience.
The recent war put all the races on
edge. The oppressed will no longer
be oppressed. What they fought for
they insist that it shall not be denied
them.
The old time darkey is dead and
sleeps his peaceful sleep in the grave.
The new order of world Democracy
tells the black soldier and the black
citizen, that to be respected, he must
respect himself, and to do that his
house must be protected from the mob
and the bomb. This high regard for
self demands that he must die fighting
a mans fight, asking no quarter and
giving none. Peaeeable and just, not
seeking trouble, nor giving other trou-
bic. Industrious, economic and a
proud people, fearing no one bnt de-
mandiHg what belongs to al people.
He should not bedenied of the right
to buy property wherever it looks like
q good bargain, and where he wishes
to bring up his children.
He should not be denied the right
nor blamed fer doing the noblest
thing a man can do for his family,
buying for them a home.
He should be protected in all his
rights as much by a healthy public
opinion as by the law. People that
hold prejudice against race, merely
upon color, cannot very satisfactorily
determine what is best for that people.
We viii not be interested in any
proposition that advocates segregation
either in city or public schools, nor
anything that means Jim Crow law
in the great state of Illinois.
@ We believe the Commission would
90 a wise thing to call some kind of
spublic meeting at which much Of what
is to be discussed pro and con by the
commission, giving the public the OPP
portunity to be heard alo.
