FORD AND ROSENWALD.

Henry Ford and julius Rosenwald
are types of rich men who imagine
that their ability to make dollars
gives them the right force their fool
theories on other Americans.
Ford's attack on the Jews through
his personal organ, The Dearborn In
dependent, is an infamous thing. It
can do no good and it's only effect
will be to arouse latent race preju-
dice against a people that has been
oppressed for thousands Of years, and
yet has made good. The majority of
the Jews in the United States are
good loyal citizens.
Julius Rosenwald, Jew of enor-
nous wealth has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollare to finance i'm
crow Y. M. C. AS. He seems to
forget the intolerance, hatred and
massacres from which the Jews have
suffered through the ages and in or
der to gain the plaudits of preju-
diced Caucasian Christians (?) and
get their orders for his mail order
house, he does not hesitate to use
his dollars to lower the status of
colored people-for that's what seq
regated Y. M. C. AS mean. Isn't it
ridiculous to imagine a Jew interest
ed in Christianity? OF course, it's
good beesness."

The Louisiana constitutional con-

It read: '"The legislature shall en-

"TEACH 'EM! THOSE GIRLS

Mr.. Stanley E. Bailey formerly of
San Francisco, whose present address
is the Cook county Jail, Illinois, is
charged with conducting class in
crap-shooting at the exclusive Hotel
del Monte, where many of the prom
inent society leaders spent thousands
of dollars in a scientific investigation
Of the law of averages. 1t seems
that Mr.. Bailey, who by the way is
a white man taught the women how
to shoot craps but not how to shoot
them as we'll as he did. Since Bail
ey's departure they have attempted
in vain to master the wrist tech
nique SO essential to medal play with
the rolling bones.
San Francisco officers will escort
MIR. Bailey back to the Golden Gate,
where he may be required to explain
his tricks Of penmanship. Mr.. Bailey
will be asked also about the disap.
pearance of an $4,000 automobile
property of one of the fashionable
and enthusiastic crap-shooters and
concerning the failure of certain San
Francisco banks to honor sundry
checks left to meet hotel bills.

THE TULSA POGROM.

The riot at Tulsa, oklahoma, rapid
ly became a pogrom. Pogrom is the
Russian word applied to massacres of
Jews in Russia and Poland. The af-
fair was as truly a pogrom as were
the famous events at Bialystok and
Kishinef.
A colored bootblack was charged
with an assault on white girl. He
had been arrested and was in jail.
The penalty is death, and as the laws
Of Oklahoma are made and adminis-
tered by ,Caucasians, there was no
danger that he would have escaped
punishment, if found guilty.
1t has been suggested that the real
cause for the outbreak was economic
Tulsa is a jimcrow town. The color
ed people had a highly organized
community-a colored city within the
larger white city being jimcrowed
they decided to keep their trade in
their own section. Caucasians built
and stocked stores in the colored Sec
ton, but the colored people would
not patronize them and, it is alleged,
that this made the white merchants
determined to break up the colored
business houses. With these condi-
tions little was needed to start trou-
BILE. The colored people numbered
about one-ffth of the total popula-
ton. AS they were segregated, it
was easy to burn their property with
out endangering the property Of
white people. So the mob fired the
colored section, and many colored
people we're shot as they rushed out
Of their burning homes. About 80
city blocks were reduced to ashes.
Most of the houses were frame struc-
lures, but there were many fine bust
ness blocks, including the plants Of
two newspapers, The Tulsa Star and
The Oklahoma Tribune. The total
loss it estimated at $1,500,0O0 and
falls almost wholly upon the colored
people, as few Caucasian habitations
were destroyed.
In a speech before the National
Business League, a colored organiza-
tion, which met in Oklahoma in 1913,
Booker Washington told the colored
people of Oklahoma, not to worry
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-
err 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.

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 its 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 national law.

1.-THE WHOLE TRUTH AND MOTH
ING BUT THE TRUTH"

Under the above heading the WASH
ington Cd. CO. Tribune prints the
following editorial.
The announcement of the appoint
ment of the Hon. Perry w. Howard
by Attorney General Daugherty last
week, to 'speciaF' assistant-ship to
the Attorney General, to look after
fraudulent claims brought by Colored
people against the government, pro-
vokes this question: Where do we
come in as a race in this appoint
ment? The Tribune is of the opin-
ion that there is more involved in
these appointments of our supposed
race leaders than a mere $4,000 salary.
In fact, The Tribune is not elated
over either of the three appointments
that have been dished out to- our
group. They are nothing more than
mere clerkships. The first one, that
of Lieut.. Flipper, is regarded as the
best of the three. The last two,
of Phil Brown and Perry Howard,
apparently show that the pie hunters
are tired of waiting and are willing
to accept any old thing offered. Of
what service is either of these ap-
pointments to the race?
Neither Of these appointments come
under the category of presidential
appointments" requiring their names
to be sent up to the Senate for con-
firmation. They have no definite
status and may be cut out at any
time. Therefore President Harding
has not made single appointment of
colored man during the II weeks
of his administration.
In a recent public address, Mr.
Brown said that he chad no plans
for his department and in accepting
the position he was not pleased with
the paragraph setting forth the sta
tus of his position. Then why show
the yellow streak and accept a posi-
ton, the status of which does not
meet with ones moral sense of equity
and justice? Yet the information is
sent out that these appointments are
of a great benefit to the race.
Why complain of segregation in the
civil service, then turn around and
accept a Especial clerkship" where
one is placed off in a segregated cor
ner and given insifnifcant, segregat-
