ASSERTION OF MANHOOD.
(New York CALM

N@Nff'tf Urn ttAAtJ
In the faees of this. black record,
the Times can only see In the. Ne
gro's resentment of his wrongs. the
result of agitation! The Negro would
be less than. human If he. did not
finally assert his manhood and de
fend himself. We. regard his self.as-
sertion as the most hopeful sign in
the whole, dreary record OF eIploita-
tion and class. rule to which he has
submitted. During the Civil war he
faithfully guarded his masters plan
tations and showed no signs of a de-
sire for liberation. That was a dis
NAL feature of the. struggle. His as.
sertion of his humanhood today is the
brightest and most hopeful. factor in
his long story of servitude. If it is
true that the Socialist movement de
serves any credit for the awakening
of the Negro, we rejoice in whatever
mite we have contributed to it. In
that movement the Negro will find
comrades who understand, comrades
who share his longing for the equal
ity of opportunity, the leisure. educa
tion and happiness that can only be
realized when workers Of both races
are members of free world that
knows no race, color or class dis
tinetion.

PROMPT ACTION.

New Orleans, La, Times-PicayuHel
The Washington experience should
teach us the necessity of prompt ac-
tion in all cases of race disturbances
and to act vigorously from the be-
ginning. The first mistakes made at
the national capital and the wise poii.
cies afterward followed should show
us what to do in case the situation

Such outbreaks as this in Chicago
are of national concern. The situa.
ton is far too serious for a spirit to
temporize or be tolerated. If the
riots continue in Chicago and Mayor
Thompson still marks time on de-
.cision to employ the utmost power
at his command, the municipal gov
ernment should be forced to surren-
der its authority for a time. 1t is
right that it should for the Chicago
