FRIENDS.

The writer recently overheard
black man, just from the South, say:
Il think the Southern whites are the
best friends of my people" He was
dirty, ignorant and degraded and ut
terly unable to appreciate the differ
ence between the North and the
South, but there are men, living in
the South who make some pretences
to education who have said the same.
OF course they were looking for the
good niger pat" -
There are few white people, very
few, living in the South, who are
Christians and who. are willing to ac
cord to colored people all the rights
of citizenship, but the great majority
are not friends in any sense of the
word, unless jimcrow laws and Gus
toms are evidences of friendship. And
again some. of the most pronounced
enemies of the cobored people are
black and yellow men who are con-
tinually saying things which make
the whites hold the whole colored

REPRESENTATION REDUCED.

Representation in the has been re-
duced, not in the Congress as it
should have been, but in the Repub-
lican national convention. The scheme
was adopted by vote of SO to IL,
but not without portest.
Henry Lincoln johnson, Georgia
member, described the report as an
attempt by the Republicans Ito pc
nalize we people of the South whose
only crime has been voting for such
men as Mckinley, Roosevelt and Har-
ding" The committee had refused 70
demand that it's party in congress
enact laws carrying out the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution which would give
the party additional votes in the
South, Johnson said:
"You are about to pronounce SEN
tence on u.s. johnson shouted. y"Why
do you put through this thing, jam it
down our Threats, instead of making
your majority perform in congress?''
Committeeman Remmel of Arkansas
also voiced strong protest against
being disfranchised.

WORK ENOUGH HERE.

Without questioning the sincerity of
the pan-African propagandists we do
not believe such work is feasible at
this time. To use a strong express
sion the colored people of the United
States are, Gin a hell of a fix just
now.
And again, the colored people of
the United States are Americans and
not Africans. Their duty is at home,
and God knows there is work enough
here to employ all the brains and
money the race can command for an
hundred years to come
What have we to offer the South
and Central Americans and West In
dies which is superior to what they
now have? There is little chance to
do anything in Africa. Why fritter
away time chasing a jack O. lantern
Would it not be better to clean our
own house before we attempt to
clean up the world? When the Unit
ed States has been redeemed it will
be time enough to start to clean up
other lands.

FILIPINOS DESIRE FREEDOM.

The dispatches say the Igorrotes
told the Wood-Forbes mission, now
in the Philippines, that they did not
care for freedom, but preferred u.
S. rule. The Igorrotes are dog-eaters
and a doggone dirty ignorant lot.
The intelligent Filipinos desire the
freedom and independence which the
United States promised them. Here
in the U. S. there is a class of color
ed men who eat chicken instead of
dog, but are lower than the dog
eaters because they cringe and fawn
and say they do not wish their rights.
And now comes the Philippine
mission at Washington and says that
the dog-eaters were inspired by
American Christian missionaries. And
further the Filipinos state in their
bulletin that the manila business
men" who voiced opposition to in
dependence are not Filipinos at all,
but white Americans Can you beat
it?

SATURDAY, JUNE II, 1921.
COMPELLED TO HONOR GRADY.


Recently Atlanta, Georgia, had a
great demonstration in honor of Hen
ry Grady, probably the most bitter
enemy the colored people ever had
and more dangerous because his en-
nifty was masked under protestations
Of friendship, which is usual in the
South.
Grady was the father of segrega-
ton and the enactment of jimcrow
car laws and other schemes of segre-
cation may be largely ascribed to his
preachments and influence
One of the features of the recent
parade was a number of colored chill
dren who were placed at the tail-end
of the procession and thus compelled
to publicly honor the man whose life
was spent in devising methods to de-
grade the race. 1t was an atrocious
thing to do, but livery southern" If
a parallel event had occurred in Ire
land, the Irish mothers would have
given their child something to pro-
duce sickness so that the children
would not have been compelled to
honor their enemies. One may not
always be able to prevent being kick
ed, but it is not necessary to thank
the one who administers the kick.

THE TULSA POGROM,

The riot at Tulsa, Oklahoma. rapid
ly became pogronn. Pogrom is thu
Russian word applied to massacres Of
Jews in Russia and Poland. The af
fair was as truly pogrom as. were
the famous events at Bialystok anc
Kishinef.
Saddest of all is the fact that the
whole horrible affair was caused b,
the misuse of the word assault. ,
which was probably done with mali!
cious intent. A colored bootblack
stepped into an elevator and on the
foot Of the white elevator conductor
She slapped the boy and he caught
her by the wrist. She screamed and
the boy was seized by white man
and turned over to the police with
the statement that he had assault
ed" a white girl. The mob under
stood that to mean that he had raped
her. This is not the first time that
colored men who were possibly guilty
of assault and battery were lynched
for rape.
In a speech before the National
Business League, colored organiza-
tion, which met in Oklahoma in 1913,
Booker Washington told the colored
people Of Oklahoma, not to worry

group in contempt, because no man
can really respect another man who
believes himself to be inferior and
makes public announcement of this
belief.
Some colored people denounce all
white people. That is unjust and
wrong. Garrison, Lovejoy, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Phillips and thousands
of others were who practically gave
their lives to prove their friendship.
And today John Haynes Holmes and
thousands of others are better friends
to the colored group, than some who,
black in heart as we'll as in face,
"cringe and bend the supple hinges of
the knee that thrift may follow
fawning."

A colored woman in Cincinnati was

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.

Representative L. C. Dyer, Repub.
lican of Missouri, has introduced a
bill in Congress providing that per-
sons accused of lynching shall be
tried in Federal instead of State
courts, and that those found guilty
of participating in lynchings shall
suffer the death penalty: Every one
ought to get behind this bill and
push it's passage. It is infinitely bet.
ter than the Mccormick bill which
authorizes commission to "study'
lynching. No study is necessary; the
facts are patent. Minnesota has done
her part by enacting an anti-lynch-
ing law. Now give US a national law.

about being segregated but to build
up the sections which had been as
signed to them and they would make
friends and be respected by the
whites.
The one great lesson to be learned
from the horrible affair at Tulsa is
that segregation and herding togeth-
er are dangerous. The Jews have
found it so in Europe, because it
makes the work of the mobs easier.
The fate of Tulsa colored people
wipes out the theories of Washington
Motion & Company.
