SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RECENT
RACE RIOTS.

Many have considered the recent
race riots as an outburst of long
pent up race antipathy; others re-
gard them as the result of those
universal unrests that follow in the
wake of war. Each of these con-
ditions many have some bearing upon
these disturbances They are secon-
Diary, however. The primary cause
OF them seems to us to be the result
Of deliberate attempt to throw dis
credit upon the efficacy of organized
society. There is very considerable
edement in America which seek to un-
dermine Western civilization. This
has been accomplished in Russia and
Is dangerous threatening II other
European countries
1t has been the policy of Bolshe-
vism to attack nation at its most
Vulnerable point In Russia the alb
sOlute form Of government was the
object of attack. Having destroyed
that however. did not stop its ac-
tivity. The new form of government
was attacked with the same asperi-
ty 1t would appear that deliberate
attempt TO- destroy organized society
is their ultimate design. This same
element Is to be found in the con-
sentative British Empire. Here the
object of attack has been the Irish
question and labor problem A peace
full disposal of these questions will
not Danish this element from the
Empire any more than the overthrow
Of monarchy did in Russia. In
America, the Race problem and labor
question We're seized upon as a
point Of vantage to begin operation.
Mobs and inexplacable race riots have
harassed the nation. While strikes
have appeared where little cause of
complaint have been discovered.
There is but one explanation. There
is an effort on foot to undermine
western civilization. If 1t can be
shown that the Negro can not be
protected in the most highly demo-
cratic government in existence, then
that government must be defective.
II the Negro can be placed without
the pole of protection there is no
reason why any class OF persons may
not be similarly placed. Hence in
Western Civilization man is DWELLING
under false security. The settle-
ment Of the race and labor prob
lens will not bring peace to Ameri-
ca as long as that Bolsheyiki fer
ment remains II must be shown
that the Negro can be protected and
that labor can receive Justice. This
must be done in order that faith in
our government and institutions can
be restored. To us these race riots
signify the presence of the Bolshe-
visits in their attempt to sow dis
cord In the social organization. The
same element that demands that the
Negro be kept in his place. is the
same element that will seek to have
the capitalists shown his place and
will not hesitate to place a rope
around the representative Of law
and order II they are not permitted
to carry out their designs There
will be no limit to the liberties this
element viii take with organized
society If II is not curbed while in
It's infancy.

have been killed, many injured. The
soldiery has been called out.
What does this mean?
1t does not mean that we are in
the verge of revolution. that the
foundations of the republic are tot
tering, that !. w. w. Bolshevik g.
Co., are after us or any other such
hysterical nonsense. 1t is an af-
fair of hooduums.
Americans are not of revolu-
tionary folk, neither are their insti-
tutions given to tottering. But they
are quite human folk and conse-
quently explode, slop over and play
the fool with dependable regularity.
Race rioting, lynchings and the
like are merely the outcrOppings Of
about the lowest and most unintelli-
gent known form of cussedness.
1t requires no more brains than
bumblebees to hate Negro. 1t
is an exudation of the oldest and
meanest poison in the human blood,
the poison of class. Whenever you
hate a class or are proud of class
you have descended to the leven of
the mule, the snob and the fiunky.
1t was class, pride and prejudice
that ruled the junkers of Germany,
and thus started the greatest war
of all time; it is the same dirty
spirit that lay at the bottom of the
war of 1861; 1t is the same spirit
that causes all the trouble between
capital and labor that has made all
the religious frictions of history, that
creates a scandal in the army, that
splits churches, embitters politics,
corrupts a society and makes Grim
inal classes male and female snipes.
When the Negroes were imported
here from Africa the label of class
inferiority was fastened on them. II
has costs us infinite blood and trouble
and will cause more. OF course
more. OF course there is no sense
to it. Negroes are people and like
all other people they are good and
bad. They have been horribly wrong
ed by white folks. 1t is only about
two generations since they were con-
sidered as cattle Since their eman-
cipation they have progressed won
derfully.
AS a race they posses many val
liable traits. They are peaceful, law
abiding, gentle, cheerful, industrious,
funny, affectionate and loyal.
There are vicious Negroes, but the
Negro is incapable of the depths of
organized and stubborn deviltry to
which the white man can descend,
The Negro is a human being. AS
such he is entitled to all the rights
of any citizen of this country. II he
commits crime he ought to have
his day in court.
The lynching of Negroes and the
accompanying creed that they are
more bestial than whites constitutes
one of the foulest blots upon our
nation. 1t is on level with Turks
who slaughter Armenians and Rus
SLAMS who massacre Jews.
We have Just finished war and
war is always demoralizing. The
echoes of its violence will be heard
for a long time.
But all this ugliness will pass.
The American people are fair. They
respect and are genuinely fond of
the Negro. He is of course, differ
ent, but civilized people are inter
ested in those who are different and
learn from them. To despise race
because ii is different is one of the
chief marks of ignorant savagery.

THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Oct. o.
DR.. Robert R. Motion, Principal of
Tuskegee Institute, gave out today
letter which he addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson on the subject of lyn-
ching and mob violence in this coun-
try, in which he made the following
statement:
II want especially to call your at
tention to the intense feeling on the
part of the Colored people throughout
the country towards white people,
and the apparent revolutionary at
titude of many Negroes which shows
itself in a desire to have at any cost.
The riots in Washington and Chicago
and near-riots in many other cities
have not surprised me in the least.
l predicted in an address several
months ago, at the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Hampton Institute, on
the second of May-eX-President Taft
and Mr.. George Foster Peabody we're
present at the time-that this would
happen If the matter was not taken
hold of vigorously by the thought
full elements of both races.
81 think the time is at hand. and
| think of nothing that would have a
more salutary effect on the whole
situation now than if you should
in your wise way, as you did a ear
ago, make a statement regarding
mob law; laying special stress on
lynching and every form of injustice
and unfairness. You would lose
nothing by specifically referring to
the lynching record in the past six
months; many of them have been at
tended with unusual horrors, and 1t
would be easy to do it now because
of the two most recent riots in the
North, notably, Washington and
Chicago. The South was never more
ready to listen than at present to
that kind of advice, and 1t would
have tremendously stabilizing eff
ect, as / have said, on the mem
bers of my race.
You very probably saw the &C
count of the lynching in Georgia, Of
an old Colored man seventy years of
age who shot one of two intoxicated
white men in his attempt to protect
two Colored girls who had been COM
manded to come out of their home
in the night by these two men. The
Colored man killed the white man
after he had been shot by one of the
white men because he had simply
protested.
81 am enclosing the lynching rec
ord for the past six months and an
editorial from the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, which strongly denounces mob
violence.
with all kind wishes, and assur-
ing you of no desire to add to your
burdens, but simply to call attention
to what seems to me vital not only
for the interest of the twelve mil
lions of black people, but equally as
important for the welfare of the mil
lions of whites whom they touch,
am,
very sincerely and gratefully,
"R R. NOTION"
In reply to this letter President
Wilson wrote DR.. Motion as follows
my dear DR.. Motion:
THANK you Sincerely for your
letter of August eighth. 1t conves
formation and suggestion, the inn
portance of which / fully realize
and for which am sincerely obliged.
/ will take the suggestions you make
under very serious consideration, be-
cause realize. how critical the situa-
ton has become and how important
1t is to steady affairs in every pos
sible way.
Again thanking you for our pub
lic-spirited cooperation.
