SEATTLE WASHINGTON SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1920

more than week depicting the Arkansas
Negro uprising and the eminent danger in
which the white population lived from day
to day, without feeling that civilization ad-
vanced many notches when scores of dam
gerous Negroes were shot down and hun
dreds of others dubbed into subordination
by the ever vigiant white men.
Many of the white readers of this paper
took exceptions to the article and openly
declared the facts did not Justify such a
view to be taken But like all things in
which the colored man gets the worst
of it the matter was soon hushed up, so
far as the daily press was concerned, and
the public had quite forgotten it until the
National Association for the Advancement
of Coored People made report on the
cause of the massacre and it was at such
variance with the Associated Press reports
that the Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, Satur-
day. January 3rd inst, published the fol-
lowing editorial, which not only speaks for
itself but verifes the published utterances

THE ARKANSAS RIOTS

The National Association for the Advance
ment of ColOred People has been looking
into the matter of the race riots and kill
ings resulting therefrom in Phillips county,
Arkansas, last October, and it reports
very different condition of affairs from that
Indicated at the time of the occurrences.
IN Justice to the coored brother the fact
that the episode is an old and outworn
item Of news should not prevent a restate-
ment of the October events in the light Of
the facts ascertained by the National Asso-
citation.
Negroes outnumber the whites about four
to one in Phillips county, In this situation,
no doubt. it was easy to induce panic in
the public mind through the report that
Negroes had organized and planned mas
sacre of the whites. The final death roll
showed five whites and twenty-five Negroes
killed.
The investigation disclosed that Negroes
of Phillips county had organized, not for
massacre. but to protect tenant farmers
from exploitation by certain farm owners.
The report of the society goes on to ind-
cate some cause for this in the rapacity
with which ignorant tenants were mucted
of the product of their toll by "smart'
white men. in the same situation, white
tenant farmers WOlllQ nave organized, dHU
no criticism could attach to the Negroes
on that account. The report further shows
that the trouble commenced when Negroes
were gathered in rural church. and a
party of white men driving by took shot
at the crowd. fearing that the meeting was
but the preliminary of the rumored mas
sacre. From that shot arose the riots and
death loss of the next few days.
The daily press of the country that re-
ported the October story should be. and
doubtless is. glad to give publication to
the later facts established NOtwithstand-
ing the stories that come from the South
and elsewhere of Negro brutality followed
by equally culpable white brutality, the
great majority of american Negroes are
patriotic and law-aOiiing. They are
people who have required many years to
EMERGE from a condition of serfdom i'm
posed by the white man. and they have
achieved a distinctly creditab]e advance in
all the arts and uses of civilization. The
white race has been free of it's fetters for
much longer PERIOD and there are still

UNDERWOOD LEFT
UNOPPOSED AS
SENATE LEADER

WASHINGTON, April 24.-As a
result of the withdrawal OF Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, from the
contest for the Democratic leadership
in the senate, it was believed gener-
ally among party leaders today that
the selection of Senator Underwood,
of Alabama, for the post would be
unopposed when the Democratic con-
ference is held Tuesday night. Sem
ators Hitchcock and Underwood were
the only candidates and the race was
so close that a deadlock existed for
several months.
The Nebraska senator announced
his decision to withdraw last night IN
a letter to the members of his party
in the senate.
ST now desire to terminate this
deadlock" wrote Senator Hitchcock,
land hereby withdraw my name from
the contest. This will conduce TO
Democratic harmony and Will accoro
with nv individual plans. which will
not permit me during the remainder
of the year to undertake such con-
tinuous service in the senate as
have had during the past twelve
months.
'The year during which I have
acted as Democratic leader has been
one of responsibility and difficulty.
but one of pleasure also, because or
the consideration shown me by party
colleagues, whether they agreed
with me or not.
81 desire particularly to thank
those who have supported me in this
contest and to say to all that l shah
be glad, in resuming my position as
vice chairman, to cooperate as here

MANY PLEAS ARE
BEFORE CONGRESS
FOR SOLDIERS AID

gress today finds that it is receiv-
ing more appeals for the passage of
soldier aid legislation than for any
other measure pending before it.
Running a fairly close second,
however is nationwide demand
| that the bonus be refused and that
| taxes be reduced and repealed. 1t
is held to be obvious that congress
cannot grant the latter appeal, if it
passes the soldier aid bill.
These two outstanding indications
as to what the American people
want were revealed today by a sum-
mary of the petitions recorded in the
congressional record since April 1.
During that time thirty-eight petit
tons, mostly from soldier organiza-
lions, were filed urging immediate
enactment of legislation to aid the
I>service men: In the same period,
! protests against the soldier bill and
any increase in taxes totaled 27. Of
this number, eight were denuncia-
tlons of the bonus, IA were demands
for general reductions in taxes and
five asked the repeal of the excess
profits levies.
Disapproval of universal military
training ran third in the summary
of petitions, with total of Is,
while the number urging the Wads-
worth bill, which contained such a
program was seven.
amnesty toward political prisoners
and eleven for the freedom of Ire
land or the recognition of a repub-
lie in that country.
The record shows one petition ask
ing for an amendment to the Vol
stead law allowing sale of light beer
and wine.
Protests against the high cost of
living numbers seven. The senti-
ment of the country on other cues

STORM VICTIMS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 2e-
While Red Cross workers were MAX
ing tabulated lists of the dead and
injured and estimating property dam
age wrought by the tornado last
tuesday, plans for relief took def
mite shape today with the formal
launching of drive for the collec-
ton of $4,000.

ing to ]. K. Brockman, chairman of
the Jefferson county chapter of the

Birmingham.
In the meantime reports at the
office of Governor Kilby have been
taken as the basis on which the ap-
peal for funds has been issued.
These reports place the dead at IS
and the injured at 500
+ Information at the Office of Gov
ernor RUSSELL of Mississippi, shows
$50 killed and 200 injured in that
state, according to Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Casteel.
The loss in live stock and property
has grown with the progress of the
investigation and may exceed the 49,
100000 mark.
With the receipt of supplies from
Birmingham, New Orleans and other
cities, emergency relief work is we'll

marriage?
S-A. This is a marriage between a
member of a reigning house, or Of
high nobility in some countries, and a
person of inferior rank. Such mar
rage may not exist simultaneously
with a perfect" marriage, since the
morganatic marriage is considered
valid from an ecclesiastical and to
some extent from a legal point of
view. The roots of the morganatic
marriage go back to early German
law, and it's chief disadvantage is
that the parent of lower rank and
