is not merely a sectional product Some
Northern cities have tried to create this
impression, and they still harp on
Southern lynchngs as a proof that the
South is the nursery Of race antagon-
ism. But other outbreaks in Northern
cities and sections long ago made their
theory ridiculous.
1t IS clear to the unprejudced OBJ
server that race feeling is far deeper
and more intense north of Mason and
Dlxon's line than south of it. When
this feeling is aroused in Northern or
Western cities, it assumes the character
Of ferocious and murderous animosity.
What the South asserts in it's lynch
ings is the determination to maintain
white integrity and separateness. 1t is
not inspired by race hate, but by the
instinct of race preservation. The
Southern people have no unknd feeling
for the colored race as such. On the
contrary. they like the negro, they un-
derstand him, and are ready TO help
him."
A frank threat that segregations,
Southern style, must come unless
the present frictions can be avoided
is found in "The Chicago Tribune"
This is one of the few practical
suggestions for a solution of the
underlying difficulties mentioned
bV anV paDer.
"The issue is beginning to be sharply
drawn. The colored people do not
seem disposed to recede from what
they consider a just position in the
community, and the whites seem de
termlned not tc give way, as they
conceive it, before penetration of
colored people into neghborhoods
which heretofore have been restricted
to white population.
''The colored people insist upon lust
and equal advantages White people
take the position that the 'encroach-
ment' Of negroes is not just to them,
because depreciation of propert..- values
always follows.

last two evenings to pale into insig-
nificance.

this assemblage and its intent will

Contrasted to this one may find
on the front page of "The New
York Age" one day last week the
two items adjoining.
But it is the contention of this
article that the Washington riot
was more than a local disturbance
that it really symbolized a situa-
ton that lies dormant the country
over, namely, that because of the
war new elements have been in
jected into the problem of racial
friction between whites and ne
groes in this country.
The death of Policeman Harry
Wilson in the Washington riots
dramatizes this point by bringing
to the attention Of the police one
example of the propaganda now be-
ing carried on in the negro papers
of this country.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-03
Segregation Suggested

IF the whites and coored cannot
refrain from riots and bloodshed and
interminable violence on the bathing
beaches, how long will it be before
this question is asked: Shall there be
separate bathing beaches for the
whites and colored?
"lt the races cannot get along in
certain neighborhoods without fights
and brawls and police interference,
how long Will it be before segregation
will be the only means of preventing
daily murders and perhaps recur-
renee, on a scale vastly enlarged, Of
the East ST. Louis disaster?
'lf colored person cannot enter a
streetcar without this being the signal
for shooting and furore, how long will
it be before public policy and the pro-
lection of life and property makes nee
essary another system of transporta-
tion ,"
There is a general agreement in
Northern papers that the present
outbreaks are serious and forebode
wider trouble. That they bear a
significant relation to the worlds
troubles and have a moral for all
Americans is the view of THE
Bridgeport Standard Telegram"
The general opinion is that the
Chicago and Washington riots are
symptoms of a general unrest and
the direct result of the war.

against carrying concealed weapons
have been lightly construed for
months.
Seren Men Killed
Seven men--four colored, three
white, including policeman, ma
rine and a white boy-were killed
Over one hundred persons, including
one white and several negro women,
were injured.
There was some liquor. If there
had been wide open saloons there
would have been scores of deaths,
every competent official declares.
Evidence that both sides were at
fault is disclosed by the fact that
Congress is being asked for more
and better paid police, that the sale
of firearms is to be restricted and
put under license, that penalties for
carrying concealed weapons are to be
enforced, and that conferences are
to be held at intervals between lead
ing white and negro citizens in an
effort to control both races. Lead
ing negroes do not deny that white
women were assaulted. Fhey only
question the exact number of at
tacks.
From this point the situation be-
comes less clear and enters the de-
batable stage. The negroes assert
that there should be more negro po-
licemen. With more than $4,000
negroes in Washington, they point
out the fact that in years not a
single negro policeman has been
added to the police force.
They also say that unnecessary in
suits have been offered the negro
race by recent bills introduced in
Congress to provide "Jim Grow"
streetcars and prohibit intermar-
riage of the two races.
The Crarest Charge
If there had not been war; if
there had not been riot in Chi
cago week after that in Washing
ton; if radical negro agitators had
not circulated among the Washing
ton negroes; if negro bodies in New
York City, Boston and elsewhere
were counselling peace and not vio-
lence; if negro papers were them
selves reasonably free from race

met.
The following night free-for-all

Monday, July 21, guns appeared.

At noon negroes in a motor car

Race rioting gripped Washington
that night. Guns and blackjacks,
knives, stones, clubs and fists were
used without provocation. The
police and the hospitals were
swamped.
That night showed that the Wash

While war had swelled the city's
population, the police force had been
cut down. Salaries were too low TO

The glaring fact also confronted
the city that it had no law against

WASHINGTON, August 2.
"HE bitter. unSarnished truth
needs to be told about the
recent race riots in Wash
ington.
1t needs to be told for the benefit
of the entire country, particularly
in view of a similar and more seri-
Gus outbreak in Chicago within a
week, actually started there as in
Washington. by whites.
It needs to be told because the
old formula for race rioting has
been changed by the war, the devel-
opment of propaganda and the rise
of Bolshevism.
The truth indicts both whites and
negroes equally.
Race rioting, rs defined by fla
grant scenes of disorder last week
in the nations capital meant:
1. Attacks, real and reported,
on women by negroes.
2. Hoodlumism by men in the
uniform Of the United States.
3. insufficient police protection
for The national capital.
4. Lack of restrictions upon
the sale of firearms, and lax en-
forcement of the laws against
carrying deadly weapons.
S. Incendiary press reports in
both white and colored papers.
6. The spread among the negro
population of this country of
dangerous race propaganda grow
ing out Of The war and most COM
monty based upon the negro SOL
der's reception in France, the
Irish question, Bolshevism and
the eentury-old cry that the white

Both Sides to Blame
The truth about the Washington
ace riots is so unfavorable to both
Gegroes and whites that one can
hardly be blamed more than the
ether.
One June 25 4 negro woman was

From three of these cases charges
Of rape resulted Two negroes

negro fought extradition from

assault.
Between July and July 19, when
the trouble started in Washington,
10 further attacks occurred, al
'Aough Washington was kept on

tacks. Women began to be afraid

THE HUMBLE CORN-COB.

CorncObs develops are good for something besides
pipes fuel Heretofore they have been on of the graf
est waste stuffs in American agriculture Of the billions
of bushels of corn produced every year most of the cobs
have been thrown away.
Now the Department of Agriculture reports that al
most the whole cob be converted into valuable sub
stances More than one third of it can be made into
crystalline glucose, which has many uses one of which
is the manufacture of alcohol By newly discovered
process 10 per cent of the cob can be transformed into
an adhesive" suitable for use in making fiber board
and paper boxes for bill posting labelling and many
other purposes.
The chef objection to this adhesive is its brown color
If it could be made cOOresS might replace the adhesves
now in thereby saving great quantities Of foodstuffs
used in the form of starch dextrine flour PASTE etc. 1t
is said that the reacement Of all other adhesves would
require only per cent of the corncobs produced in the
United States.
This is like finding great new tract of fertile land
inexhaustibe deposit of some precious metal And it
is more proof Of the resourcefulness of modern
science
The human race is using up its visible sources now
adays at rate which alarms many people, But there is
probably little ground for fear 1t has generally been true
in the past that material gave out another appeared
It will doubtless be still more in the future Nature is
rich and we have not found 1.-THE of her
treasures Whatever mankind needs trust human ingen
rity to find way to get.

TRY THEM FOR MURDER.

From London comes the assurance that Wilhelm
Hohenzolern former kaiser of Germany and Il OF his
accompces are to be tried before international tr-
buna but that instead Of being made to face outright the
charge of murder they will be accused of simpler and
minor crimes for which the supreme penalty will be exile
or sole confinement
All very fine and regular but what's the use?
The world needs formal trial to be convinced OF the
guilt of the kaiser and his aides, the Allies least OF all
When they took up arms against Germany the Allies,
France England Italy, United States and score of les
ser powers thereby issued their judgment They condemn
ed the German government as guilty and not only OF IN
discriminate violation of the rules of civilized warfare
but they returned the verdict of murder against Wilhelm
and his underlings
To call upon an international court to fix the respon
sbiy for the war we are but casting doubt in the face
of the declarations made upon entering the war; NO
court on earth could convince of Wihems innocence
The violation of Begium's neutrality is already an es
tabshed fact and court sentence necessary to send
the guilty to st. Helena on that score
II Wilhelm and his gang of archcriminas are to be
tried they should be tried individuals and for murder
Let them justify if they can the ravagng of Belgian and
French women and girls the execution of Edith Cavil
the ruthless slaughter of women and children and other
ron-combatans such lost their lives in the sinking Of
the Lusitania.
Let them justify those atrocities pay in kind To
submerge these crimes under accusations of technical
violations is but to mock justice.
The Fourth of July does not seem to have been as
fatal this year as usual
