lor, and Vice-president NJ A: N. Shaw,
D. D. We laid before Mr.: Harding
those national wrongs of lynching,
disfranchisement, jim Grow cars and
federal segregation. In fact we pre-
sented the case as determined at the
national race conference held by the
League in Chicago last April.
Mr.. Harding was frank to say that
he would not cheat US in the race by
rash or false promises, that he would
search a practicable way for relief in
the matters where Congress had ju-
risdiction. But he came out positive
ly against the segregation of its own
employees by the federal government.
In short, in the election of Senator
Harding we have clear promise of a
cessation of that form of race dis
elimination which now is practiced
by the federal government itself,
which is the logical point at which
to begin reform and relief.

THE RAPE OF HAITI,

Evidence is accommodating that the
conquest of Haiti by the armed forces
of the United States under the Wilson
administration was one of the great.
est atrocities of modern times.
The latest from Washington is that
summary investigation of alleged
practically indiscriminate killing" OF
Haitian natives by United States
marines was ordered more than year
ago by Maj. Gen. Barnett, then com
mandant of the marine corps, has
been made by the publication by Gen
Barnett on operations in Haiti during
American occupation. The report
shows that United-- States marines
slew more than 1880 Haitians in five
years.
The navy department made public
October report prepared by Gen.
Lejeune, now commandant of the
corps, on the work of the marines in
Haiti. 1t declared that ''peace and
tranquility" prevailed in the island
and that the marines had won the
gratitude of all law-abiding natives.
It is very evident that "peace and
tranquility" prevail among the $3.50
Haitians murdered by the marines.

SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
(From the Boston Guardian.)

Maryland is a Border, rather than
a Southern state, at least it is not one
Of the worst sort of Southern states.
The practice which forbodes a per-
petuatiOn of color segregation in this
Republic is that Of a separation Of
white and cOlOred in childhood in &C
tually public institutions, where for
all the foreigners the lesson is taught
of equality among the children. Sep
arate schools are in vogue even in
some Northern states where cOlored
people prefer jobs to equality and
democracy for the children.
But let no false picture be painted

tional conditions for the colored chill

where even for teachers the new pro-
pOSal gives LIST grade white teachers
$3.50, and colored $500; End grade,
whites $500, and colored $500; 3rd
grade, whites $3.50, and colored 1920
For children it is
1. "Colored children attend school
irregularly"
2. "A large number of cOlOred
teachers are just keeping school and
making a poor job Of it at that"

The Question Of Segregation.
(FrOm the Richmond PlanetO

Editor John @. Adams endorses the
action of Editor William Monroe
Trotter in opposing the erection of a
Y. M. G. A. for the colored people
Logically and under the sunlight of
divine justice, both Mr. Adams and
Mr.. Trotter are right There is not
the shadow of excuse for separate
building in a locality like Boston,
Mass, where all citizens are pre-
sumed to enjoy and are accorded
their civil and political rights.
The three great leaders now stand
ing forth in this attitude and main
tanning this position are William
Monroe Trotter Of Boston, John @.
Adams of st. Paul, Mimi, and Hon.
H. G. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio. We
can not say otherwise that under the
American flag with the full glare of
American citizenship shining in their
faces, they occupy high ground, and
it will be the future that will accord
to them the full recognition they de-
serve.

OF the fact that the Christ was a. Jew,
Now if the Jews with all of their
wealth and consequent power find it
necessary to fight to prevent the
lapse of public opinion into state of
unfriendliness to the Jew" how much
more important for the colored people
who have already lost many civil
rights, which are freely accorded to
the Jews, to- make a determined effort
, to regain them.
One sad thing about the Jewish
question is the readiness with which
the Jews join with the oppressors of
the colored people. Not all of them,
of course, but too many, when one
considers the sufferings of the Jewish
people through the ages. Some rich
Jews, alleging philanthropy, have
given millions to aid in the lowering
of the social status of the colored
people because it pleased Caucasian
American Christians and brought
profits to their bullying pockets.

Carrying the Color Line.
(FrOm the New York Age.)

There is tendency among the mem
bers of the race to be over sensitive on
the subject of color. This tendency is
Of course excusable to a certain ex-
tent; because of the fact that the mat
ter of color is so frequently thrust
upon them. But it would be the part
OF wisdom and good policy to forget
the fact of color when possible and to
regard themselves merely as Ameri-
cans and good citizens.
Such an attitude maintained with
modesty and dignity would of time
disarm the outcropping of prejudice
based solely upon color, and would in
sure the individual the same treat
ment accorded people of other races.
CARRYING the color line as a chip on
the shoulder is a sure way of provok-
ing resentment on the part of the
other fellow, while a calm and I'M
concerned demeanor, with proper in
sistence on the same sort of treatment
and accommodations furnished the
public in general is more likely to win
acceptance and secure proper recogni-
ton.
Colored people should endeavor to
forget their color in public places and
regard themselves solely as an in
tegral part of the body polite, with
the same rights and privileges and the
same duties and responsibilities as
any other class of citizens. New York

Oklahoma recently, the Daily Okla.

One query addressed to him had to
do with his attitude on the race ques.

ABOLISH SEGREGATION
THE SLOGAN OF THE NATIONAL
EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE,
Meeting at Baltimore, Md, Octobe"
2c-21-22,

Fellow Leaguers:-
By virtue of the power vested in
me as president Of the league, l here
in issue this call for the 18th Annual
Meeting of the Equal Rights League
of the United States of America. The
said meeting will be held in the city
Of Baltimore, Maryland, October 20,
Il and p, 1920, at the Trinity Bap-
fist Church., Rev. J. R. L. Diggs,
Pastor.
The Board meeting, Saturday, Oct.
~, preaching on Democracy in Amer
lea, in local churches Sunday, Oct. a.
The paramount issue will be the ma
tionalizing. of the rights of social
democracy. Our Convention Slogan
is: Abolish Federal Race Segregation
and Remove the Segregation Party
From Power. We call upon every
Branch Of the League to assemble for
the renewal of the organization, to
send delegates; upon every member,
wherever there is no branch of the
League to form one for that purpose,
and that every League member in
each community take the initiative in
organizing our people, men and wom-
en-, to elect and send delegates to
Baltimore.
Over the top we must go! Come
and get the spirit of real social
democracy; come, let US reason to-
gether and get mutual and spiritual
understanding of our unstable social
condition in this political and socio-
logical unrest. Out of an understand
ing will come the unanimous commit
tai Of economical justice; and in such
efficient justice lives that social JUS
tice which is the supreme and essen
tial element in all and to all human
happiness. Your Christian civilian
ton edmands your higher stand, in
the DECENTRALIZATION among races and
nations.
There is no retreat nor reaction;
but a forward movement is the in
evitable slogan of this Twentieth
Century. This crisis, this moral re-
adjustment Of things decent. The
National Equal Rights League calls
the serious attention of the colored
man in America to the inglorious
fact, that we are not represented in
this representative government at
Washington. We must reconstruct
our racial conceptive consciousness
and our racial program, if we wish
to survive this onslaught of pluto
cratic, undemocratic ,autocratic, im-
perialistic and unpolitical regime
