eral Wood as the champion of the
Square Deal to all men. What is
the matter with the one hundred and
two? the facts. the past records,
and the present utteranceS, and plat

open to all alike. Are we to for

Negro in Atlanta Ga.-But now the
Negro press as a whole has risen
To tone and pitch that commands
he ear Of the Enemies of the Race.
But the greatest compliment, ever
paid the growing consciousness of
the Race, is the fact that the enemy
is now beginning to worry over the
kind of Leaders which the Negro
race is appointing for itself. 1t
Iced not be asserted and cannot be
denied, that in the South the white
people have generally appointed"
such Negro leaders as they saw fit
They did ii indirectly; they would
only listen TO such and such a
'lcvel-headed" Negro-and when
Colored people wanted to confer
with white people, this Negro must
hc the medium thru which. how
ever the Colorcd people might de
spise and diStruSl this very Negro.
And, behold the other day a white
Congressman shouted out words to
the effect that white people had bet
lcc begin to pay more attention to
the leaders which they ordain for
the Negro, lest the leaders which
the Negro is appointing for himself
set the better of the matter. He
points out in plain words that the
Supcr-impoSed leaders are beginning
to be discarded by the Colored race,
ana asks that the white people VIII.
want their Negroes" to stay on the
job, had better begin to give extra
attention TO them and help to build
them up in the regard of Colored
p, ople. The Congressman's idea is
the old one; that whenever these
favored leaders, ask for anything "for
the Race the whites must seem TO
give ear to ii and hear ii favorably
so that the race will fall in line be
hind these uSuable leaders.
To be brief and to the point, it is
jus like bear hunting; we SET trap
ard leave piece of beef for the
bear.-But in order that we might
eat the whole bear later.
1t is up to the Negro race to open
its eyes and consider in all such
cases whether it wants a temporary
or a permanent advantage 1t is a
plain isSue.-Wm. Pickens.

MORROW FIRED SHOT

Mobbism To End When People of U.

"a. y. L. SerNlCe.)
NEW YORK, Mar. 12.-Speaking
before mass meeting called by the
National Association for the Advan-
cement of Colored People, in the Me-
lropolitan Baptist Church of New
York, John h. Shillady, declared
that with more state governors like
Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, lynch
ing and burning at stake could be
ended in the United States.
"MobbiSm in the United States can
be ended whenever the people of
the United States want ii ended,
said Mr.. Shillady Whenever the
people make up their minds that the
mob must be put down, its COVER
people of their communities toler-
will act accordingly.
I'm the main governors and Sher-
ifs allow Negroes to be lynched and
burned and lortued, because The
people of their communities tolor-
ate such outrageS.
with more governors like Ed

worst blot on American civilization
can be eNpunged. When a lynch

Now and then somebody pays an
Indirect and unintended compli-
ment to the growing power and

orleans. Recently the enemies of
the Negro race have paid atten-
ton" to the Negro press. They
have even "cussed" out the Colored
papers in congress and wanted to
lcgiSlale them out of existence in
that Graham Bill. That is the great
est recommendation ever given the
Negro press. When they meant no
thing and stood for nothing and
had no sort of backbone about any
thing, nobody worried about them.

IT, about fifty years after the Civil
War period was it possible to create
an organization like the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored people.
What appeals to some people as
ground for criticism against the n. A.
\. C.. p, is in fact its greatest vir-
tue and best security for success;
that ii consists of both white and
Colorcd working together for the
adjustment of matters between the
races.
THE Race question is really the
problem of both races, altho we call
i, The Negro Problem" That does
not mean that it is the Negroes
question. There are two races con-
ccrned, and the matter cannot be
settled with one race absent. Even
the white race, which is the strong
est race, could not settle the matter
alone.

White Ovington called together

Among the 15,000,000 Negroes in the

policy of slavery to keep the en-

To the amazement of all profess
sional circles, one must make the OBJ
servaton that, in the last few months,
the Vienna anti-Semitic newspapers,
irrespective Of their type or charac-
ter, usually not boasting a large num-
Der of subscribers, like the clerical
"Reichpost" or the Christian Social
list "Deutsche Volksblatt," or even
the organ of the Pan-German party,
"Deutsche Tageszeitung," or even
the almost forgotten anti-Semitic
sheet "Neuigkeits Welt-Blatt," which
has no readers, have suffered but lit
tie from the daily rise in the cost of
books and newsprint or from the cost
of labor, which makes the whole
newspaper world in Austria groan in
despair. On the contrary, these news
papers have enlarged their contents;
they publish evening editions, and, on
the whole, act as though their funds
were almost unlimited. In addition
to these newspapers, a number Of
small papers have recently arrived on
the market, which, while small in
their content, contain peppered po-
grom appeals worthy Of Czarist Rus
STA or present-day Poland.
Where do all these publications de-
rive their funds-the thousands Of
Kronen which it costs nowadays to
start even the smallest publication in
Austria? Nobody could answer the
question for long time, but the mat
ter has now been solved. 1t was
solved through another circumstance
just as amazing as the lavish expen-
dtures Of Vienna's anti-Semitic press.
Since the beginning of the present
election campaign for the national as
sembly, these newspapers would pub
lish few times week terrific arti-
cles against their political enemes,
the Social Democratic party and its
leaders, against the Jews in partic-
ulth, and, to remain true to tradition,
against the Eastern Jews. These
articles take the form of advertise
ments, sometimes occupying a num-
Der Of pages, and are signed by an
Association Of many thousand equal.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-11-12

ly minded German Austrians." Who
are those many thousand equally
minded German Austrians?" Who
pays for these so-called advertise
ments of many columns appearing
many times week, another expendi-
ture Of thousands of Kronen? In ad-
dition, some Of these article adver-
tisements are reprinted in pamphlet
form and distributed broadcast
through Vienna and the country at
large. How are these many news
papers which have no subscribers able
to get the editorial and journalistic
talent and labor to keep them NOV
ing?
The Social Democratic party of
Austria undertook to go to the bot
tom Of this mystery and finally sue
ceeded in taking a hold Of some in
eliminating documents from the press
bureau Of the Hungarian legation in
Vienna, which prove beyond the shad-
ow Of doubt that these many adver-
tisements and publications for the
protection" of the German-Austrian
fatherland against the menace Of the
Jew, or the Eastern" Jew, are backed
by Hungary's government of Admiral
Horthy.
1t seems that Horthy's government
is not satisfied with its great work Of
prosecutions and massacres among
Jews and non-Jews in Hungary, but
that it attempts to transplant its Won
derful system, which it so falsely de-
scribes as a christian" government,
into the neighboring Austrian repub-
lie.
The organ of the Social Democrat
ic party in Austria, "Arbeiter-Zei-
tung,' publishes a confidential report
made by the chief of the Hungarian,
press burea at its legation in Vienna
to his superior, the chief Of the press
bureau in the Budapest foreign Of
flee, on Aug. 2, last. The following
passages in it are Of most interest:
"The pamphlets fol The Associa-
ton Of Thousands Equally Minded
German Austrians' ere already in
print and we have made arrange
ments for their proper distribution.
| shall despatch any required num-
Der Of these publications by special
messenger to Budapest.
81 suggest that the title Of the AS
ISOLATION remain unchanged. The
name seems to be popular, has no po-
litieal appearance and will easily coa-
ceal our aims. The name is also
liked by the Christian Socialist party
here, and this is the principal thing.
81 am sure the issuance Of these
publications and their distribution at
this time are highly opportune. The
Peoples Storm will start new Of
