THE HAITI ATT SCAN

II L is an ugly chapter in the hither-
\ to unpublished records of the ma
= tional administration which comes
to light with the printing of Major
General Barnett's report to Secretary
Daniels on the American occupation of
the Island of Haiti.
In five and half years $3.50 natives
have been killed as result of So
called skirmishes between the island
ers and American forces. In the same
period the American forces have lost
thirteen men.
The report of Major General Bar
nett spares nothing of the discreditable
phases of this campaign. He says the
evidence shows that practically indis-
criminate killing of the natives has
gone on for some time" Indiscrimi-
nate killing can be defined in one
word 1t is shocking to consider that
murder, and wholesale murder at that,
has been engaged in under the au-
thority of the United States govern
ment
Long before the revolving conditions
in Haiti became a matter for political
discussion, Major General Barnett,

CHICAGO DAILY BARS COLOR
PREJUDICE

Chicago, Oct. lin a recent gath
ering of the civics committee of the
Appomattox Club of Chicago, together
with the editors and publishers of the
daily newspapers and our newspapers,
one of the strong points emphasized
was the injustice of labelling every
criminal story in which a Negro is i'm
plicated with the badge of color
Evidence was produced which showed
that great harm is done and that con-
stant reference to race in such mat
ters served to increase race feeling
and prejudice.
1t was shown that in many cases
such stories were written with NAL
ice afterthought" by prejudiced re
porters, and frequently without the
knowledge and against the policy OF
the owners of the newspapers.
Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor in
chief of The Associated Negro Press,
in his address dwelt at length on these
facts, and gave concrete examples of
two of the greatest dailies in the coun-
try that have adopted the policy with
beneficial results. The two newspa-
pers are The Cleveland Plain Dealer
and The Cleveland Press, of Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Asa result of this conference, at
least one of the great dailies of Chi
cago has adopted this policy. The
Chicago American, which is one of the
largest evening newspapers in the
country, is the paper. In the recent
account of the attempt to lynch three
of our men because of the killing of
a street car conductor, where columns
of first page news were made, the Chi
cago American did not at any time
refer to race in the stories it carried

BLACK MEN IN PORTO RICO
BARRED FROM U. S. ARMY

San Juan. Porto Rico-Circulars
have been received from military head
quarters indicating that from 800 to
1000 men are to be recruited on this
island for the Forty-second Infantry,
which we understand is afterward to
be designated for duty in Panama.
The SiXtyfifth (ex-P. R) Regiment is
to be drawn upon for the non-commis-
stoned personnel of the new regiment,
but the bulk of the enlisted men will
be recruited throughout the island.
According to the schedule of recruit
ing places and dates contained in the
circular received, the work of recruit
ing will commence on October 3-next
Sunday.

CHICAGO TO HAVE FIRST
coLoRED NATIONAL BANK.

Chicago, October.-Strong indica-
tions point to the fact that the first
great national bank of countrywide
importance will probably be estab-
lished in Chicago. A number of emf
nent financiers of the South, some of
the bankers whose investments run in
to the millions, have recently been in
conference with Chicago capitalists,
with the object in view of establishing
national bank with paid in capital
of $1,000,000.
1t is argued that a number of the
Negro banks in the South are required
to keep in deposit in New York and
Chicago, thousands of dollars in or
der to meet their clearings in those
cities, and if the race had national
bank "a member of the Federal Re
serve system, this money could be kept
there. Moreover several hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of business
is transacted annually by Southern
buyers, through Northern banks where
not a single Negro clerk is employed
and all this business would be turned
over to the great national family
bank"

THE AMERICAN CONSCIENCE
YIELDS A "MANDATE" ONLY TO
THE LORD AND SAVIOUR
BY Jonathan Cover.


The thoughtful citizen, whether
white or black, has doubtless asked
himself many times lately what is
the world coming to, and whittier are
we drifting?"
The answer has been satisfactory or
discouraging optimistic or the reverse,
according to the education, tempera-
ment or environment of the individ
ual.
1t should be remembered, however,
that on account of the peculiar status
of the group of 100000 Americans
known as Negro, a status that is most
cruelty and unjustly imposed, the
viewpoint is very likely one-sided and
personal, rather than general and all
inclusive.
Accustomed as he is to the jarring
antagonisms engendered through the
bitterness of tradition; the studied de-
fense and promotion of racial preju-
dice, and fast shut up in the lion jaw
of caste prescription, it is but natural
that this should be so.
He has been seeking the best way
out for more than a half century and
much as a trapped and wing-tired bird,
has repeatedly dashed himself with
the same result against the unyielding
bars of his relentless prison house.
The greater world at large with its
multitude of conflicting interests; the
wearing away of imperial privilege
and authority; the untiring struggle of
laboring men for greater leisure and
an increasing share in the products of
their toll; the bitter and aggressive
rivalries of nations in commerce and
diplomacy, found expression in the
greatest war of the ages.
Greatest, because most destructive
as well as most constructive. Most de-
structive of physical as well as mate
rial wealth and most constructice, be-
cause out of that crucible of force and
passion there were released the psy-
chic elements of universal equality and
manhood, which, entering the soul of
the submerged millions of the world,
have made self-determination prin-
ciple for which it is sweet to live and
without which it is vain to die.
1t is therefore increasingly evident
that however much the self-apponted
custodians of world affairs feel them
selves designated to lead the way into
some imaginary Canaan, the people
themselves have made it plain and will
make it still palmer one of these days
not far distant, that they have not re-
linuuished control of their minds and
,consciences and that they bluntly re-
fuse to grant Mandate" to any NOR
tai, be he King or Prince, except to
our Lord and Saviour, whose rightful
supremacy none will question.

WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS

The General Baptist Association
that convened here with the Second
Baptists, Oct. 18th to 10th, will long
be remembered by those present. Mon
day night a grand reception was given
in honor of the delegates. A splen-
did program was rendered, which was
composed of addresses of welcome,
music by the choir, vocal and instru-
mental solos. The church was beau
tifully decorated with flowers of vari-
Gus kinds, and over the arch back of
the rostrum hung U. S. flag, twelve
by thirty-six feet After the program
was over, all marched out into the
social hall next door to the church,
where the committees, Mrs. Jennie Ell
ligan, Mrs William Keith and Miss A.
Widener, served delicious refresh
mentS.
Tuesday, Oct. 5th, at 8 80 a. M, the
Twenty-first Annual General Baptist
Association opened with Moderator
Rev. II. NJ. Davis of Fresno, Cal, pre-
siding. Prof. L. ]. Williams of Vale
jo, Cal, is the secretary. DR.. Davis,
the moderator, delivered his annual ad-
dress, which was replete with the ac-
complishments of the denomination
during the last year
Rev. DR.. S. w. Hawkins of Oakland,
Cal, preached the Introductory ser
mon, which stirred the entire associa-
tion. Everything moved smoothly
throughout the entire session. The as
sociation meeting lasted from Oct. 4th
to 10th, when it adjourned, all declar-
ing that it was the best association
meeting that had been held for many
years in northern California.
There were seventy-four registered
as delegates and twenty-three out-of-
town visitors. Sunday there were
about thirty visitors from Oakland
and Sacramento, Cal, who were not
registered on account of it being the
last day of the association and the
church did not have to provide homes
for them.

the Second Baptist Church, this city,

ing elected state president of the

this island for the U. S. Army, that is,
not until the Porto Rico Regiment was
absorbed and became the Sixty-fifth
Infantry. Recently, recruiting has been
going on in the Sixty-fifth, but at a
low rate, it is said, because there are
so many reflections of candidates. The
examinations for army service have
become very much more severe since
the war, so that only picked men seem
to have a chance for the army. So it
would appear that Porto Rico is in the
future to be placed within the terri
tory of recruiting sergeants. They
should find some good men here, for
the war developed some excellent sol
diers among the 1900 island men who
were called to the colors by the draft
and who had several months of train
ing in Camp Las.
The requirements for the service
are that men shall be white, five feet
four inches or over in height and ply
sically sound.

CANNOT GIVE WHITE MAN
RIGHT THAT IS DENIED
TO THE COLORED MAN
Senator Harding Tells Oklahomans He Believes
Equality Before the Law Consti-
tutional Guarantee.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Men and
women by the thousands, from all
parts of Oklahoma, and from Texas as
well, came with enthusiasm into q raj
iy of red fire and torchlights OH Sat
urday night to greet Senator Warren
G. Harding, Republican candidate for
President This is a Democratic state,
city and community, without single
Republican newspaper, AMI yet Sena-
ter Harding received the most enthu-
siastic greeting of any given on the
Western trip which he has just con-
cluded.
And here also he ran up against
what was intended as troublesome
and embarrassing question: ques-
ton submitted by the Daily Oklahoma
referring to the dangerous race prob
lem. But with no hesitation the Re-
publican candidate met the situation
and gave his answer fairly and square
ly. The Oklahoma asked:
"Do you or do you not favor race
segregation? Do you or do you not
favor separate cars for the white and
black races; separate schools, restan-
rants, amusement places, etc.?"
There was but one reason for the
asking of this question, and that was
to create an embarrassing situation for
the candidate; it was the evident idea
that an evasion would displease the
colored Republicans while a direct af-
firmative would ALLEVIATE possible
Democratic supporters and Southern
white Republicans. Senator Harding
met the issue without equivocation. He
replied:
Il have not come from older Ohio to
tell you how to solve your peculiar
problems of the South. Somebody
asked what 1 would do about the ra-
cial question. 1 cannot come and ans
wer that for you. That is too serious
a problem for some of us to solve who
do not know it as you do in your daily
lives.
But l would not be fitted to be
President of the United States if did
not tell you in the South precisely the
same thing would say in the North
1 want you to know that I believe in
equality before the law. That is one
of the guarantees of the American Con-
stitution. YOU CANNOT GIVE ONE
RIGHT TO A WHITE MAN AND De
NY THE SAME RIGHT TO A BLACK
MAN; but while stand for that par
ticular principle, I want you in Okla
homa to know that that does not mean,
and 1 do not ever intend that it mean,
that the white man and the black man
must be made to experience the enjoy
ment of their rights In each others
company"

formerly commandant of the marine
corps, acting upon information which
had reached his ears, ordered Col.
John II. Russell, then in command or
the marines in Haiti, to conduct an in
vestigation and make a repora. The
investigation was held and the report
was put in the hands of Secretary
Daniels on March 20 of this year.
1t is, of course, understood that the
conditions revealed by the report have
been remedied; but the fact remains
that for more than four years this
criminal abuse of power obtained in
the island "Indiscriminate killing"
was carried on while the administra-
tion remained oblivious and the Amer
lean people ignorant.
Some excuse may be found in the
fact that our attention was much en-
gagged by the European situation, but
the excuse is insufficient. However
busy Secretary Daniels may have been
after April, 1917, there is no evidence
to show that he was too much in
volved in large affairs prior to that
time to be able to give some attention
to what was being done under his au-
thority in Haiti.
There is a bitter irony in the thought
that while we were protesting in notes
and later by arms against militarlsm
in Europe, we were conducting a Hun
nish little enterprise of our own in a
neighboring island.-Rocky Mountain
