Brazil | ]; WORKS It OUT
Black, Red and White Mix and All
arc Happy

Wllllamstown, Mass. Speaking be-
fore the Institute of Politics at Will
!lams College, DR.. Manuel de Olive
Ira Lima, of Brazil, said that inter
marriage between the colored and
white races is frequent in his coun-
try and that as result there are
no d1scontented races to be found
IN Brazil, as you certainly have in
this country"
There exists prejudice, especially
among distinguished families against
malscegenation," he said, but this is
freely practiced among the people in
general, with the result there is no
race question in Brazil, conflicts or
even controversies over the matter
being so to say, unknown, but that
Negroes are rapidly. disappearing
into the white race. =
A source Of antipathy is conse-
quently set aside, which would cor
respond to an irritation feature of
the social question and no discon-
tented races are to be found in
Brazil, as you certainly have in
this country. This condition repre-
sents an advantage for national life
and is one of, the reasons for the
happiness that Brazil. suggests, al
though things are not perfect and no
serious reason exists for, claiming
that Americus Vespucius was accu-
rate when he, located down there the
earthly paradise -
Since pure races are, according
to .ethnologists, historical error
and consequently Godineau, the apol-
ogist Of the white race Cor more &C.
curately Of the Teutonic race), may
be taken as philosopher given to
admit that the Hispanic-American,
or more precisely, the Brazilian SOL
! ution of the racial problem, of the
colored race at least, is certainly
WISER, more promising and above all
more humane than any solution which
operates through separation or seq
regation. ..ss

NOTION A MENACE
(From the Chicago Whip. }

Robert Russa Motion, President of
Tuskegee Institute, President of the
National Negro Business League and
also holder of many high-sounding
titles, arrogated to himself the right
to speak for the twelve million black
people of America on Memorial Day
in Washington upon the occasion of
the dedication Of the Lincoln Memo
rial. Motion is a man of sparce and
meager training and is very poorly
1ettered in comparison with other
men Of his race. He cannot be ac->
credited with depth of thought or
originality: he has merely followed in
the beaten footsteps Of his predeces-
sor, Booker T. Washington. He has
never raised his voice in belligerent
note to the many insults and crimes
'perpetrated against his race in this
country. He is a man who breaches
submission and docility at any price.
When he had the opportunity on Me-
mortal Day Of expressing himself as
man he afforded nothing more than
the old stereotyped line. Of oratorical
effulgence which has made his race
the target Of worldwide derision and
disrespect. He failed to mention the
fact that Texas had just burned five
men of his own race at the stake. He
could only say that he pledged the
loyalty OF his race'to the flag. Major
Motion was given authority to pledge
nothing and he does not represent the
higher type of black people who real
ly feel that they are men and desire
nothing short Of absolute and un-
qualified liberty. Imagine De Valera,

Hall Masons Of the United States
representing some 10000 Masons, at
their meeting in. Washington, D. c.,
on August 8, passed strong resolu-
tions calling on the United States
senate to pass without delay the

certain abuses and barbarous treat
ment meted out to the citizens of

called upon the Senate to take this
step not only to end the disgrace of
mob violence, but to remove this blot
from the name of America, because
Sin foreign countries the belief is
common the United States govern

doers and we regret that the reports
on lynching will tend to lower the

enjoys"
The resolutions were signed by, e.
H. Holmes, Grand Master of the
State Of Washington; H. T.. Monroe,
Grand Master of Kansas, and A. a..

MOTIONS LOST oPPoRTuNIT TY

Motion had the great opportunity of
his life to strike blow for freedom
When he was on the platform as the
alleged representative Of the colored
people. Had he been a brave and
fearless leader, when he, learned of
the segregation of the colored, people
at the exercises he would have turned
to President Harding and said, .'Mr.
President Of the United States, Mr..
Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before making my set address, 1
; must make protest against the Sc
gregation and humiliation of the COL
ored people at these exercises dedi-

unless the barriers are torn down and
every vestige Of discrimination re-
moved my prepared address will re-
main unspoken and the only words I
shall utter will be the words I have
just voiced. Let that go into the rec

Such a statement would have Gre
ated a sensation. It would have
brought home to the audience the in

CONGRESSMAN
dyer SCORED
NORTHERN COLoRED R
FOLKS FOR APATHY ON
ANT|-LYNCH|NG BILL

Northern ,colored people, feeling
safe from lynchers, are not. doing
their utmost in the fight to secure
passage of the anti-lynching bill
which will put an end to lynching in
this country" declared Congressman
L. 1 C. Dyer of Missouri, father of
the anti lynching bill, according to
a letter from Mr.. Dyer to the Nat
ional Association for the Advance
ment OF Colored People, made public
here today. " -"
''If all the colored people of the
North would throw themselves Wig
orously into the fight, the bill would
be passed and death blow struck
to the barbarism Of mobs. I think it
would be well for you to issue a
special appeal to the colored people
in all the states where they have
votes to get busy and write letters
and kilograms to the Republican
United States senator's urging them
to pass the anti-lynching bill before
this session of the Senate adiourns,"
Mr.. Dyer continued.
James Weldon johnson, in. refer
| ing to Mr. Overs statement, said:
81 want to back up as strongly as I
| can what, Mr.. Dyer says. We have
had much loyal support from col
ored people throughout the country,
but it has not been as great and
united as it should be. We are fac
ing a most critical situation on the
Dyer bill. Having been reported out
by the Senate Judiciary committee,
it is up to us to show the Senate
that the bill must be passed before
this session Of the Senate adjourns.
We must all work to have the anti
]vnchine bill brought to a vote be-
fore the November elections. We
must keen the wires hot until the bill
is passed." -. -

Gil of women of the dark races was

representatives from Africa, Haiti,
West Indies, Ceylon and number of

Need for such am organization as
established was emphasized by the

many handicaps, barriers and embar-
easements from which the women of

tensively along definite lines. ......

atrocious and so subversive of the

EAU REVOIR JAZZBOSS"

1t seems that the colored jazz ar
lists who have become so popular in
Paris will soon have to leave for
home. A recent dispatch from Paris
says: A regiment of colored jazz
artists from the U, S. A. have musi-
cal Paris in the hollow of their hands.
Any jazz band. can anchor at a
French cafe and put the S. R.. o.
sign in front before the end of the
week. It's gift, The terrible con-
sequences, from the French point of
view, is that jazzbos scoop up all
the money in sight, while honor grad
uates from the French academies
can't get look-in on restaurant jobs.
The Frenchman for all his tenn
Nerment, his Struggling of shoulders
and talking with The hands, can't
grab off the knack of making saxo-
phone whine or causing snare drum
to syncopate. Parisians dance to
rag music with abandon but the tai
ent to create it must be imported.
The result is that native borns curl
up and starve, while the colored men
gather big money. .. .....'
For the protection of the French
artists. law was recently passed that
on and after October 1, no orchestra
may contain more than 10 per cent
foreigners. That means eau revoir"
to American jazz and the return of
symphonic dance music to Paris. It
may also mean thumbs down for
many cafes that have rolled up huge
dividends on the strength of jazz.
