Negro History
Negro Soldiers in the
Standardization War

Negro soldiers took a more con-
spichous part in the Spanish-Ameri-
can War than in any previous war
waged by the United States. At the
first battle in Cuba, Las Guasimas,
the Tenth Calvary distinguished it.
self by coming to the support of Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt and the
Rough Riders. The Twenty-fourth
Infantry took prominent part in the
Battle of FL Caney. The Ninth and
Tenth Cavalry and Twenty-fourth
Infantry rendered heroic service in
the famous battle of San Juan Hill.
No one of the Negro volunteer regi-'
ments reached the front in time to
take part in battle. The Eighth
Illinois formed part of the Army of
Occupation and distinguished itself
in policing and cleaning up SANTA
go. After the close of the Spanish
American War, two colored regi-
ments, the Forty-eighth and Forty
ninth United States Infantry were
enlisted and served in the Philippine
War. Captains and lieutenants col
ored. Other officers white. In 1917
the white cavalry detachment on
duty at the Military Academy at
West Point was replaced by Negro
Cavalry detachment. 1t is called the
United States Military Cavalry De-
tachment and is used in teaching the
cadets cavalry tactics.

Justice and not sentiment has mo-
tivated Clarence barrow, the great
est criminal lawyer the world has
ever known, to assume the stand
that he has taken in regard to the
Negro. Te him materialism, and not
spiritualism, is most direly needed at
the present time by the Negro
masses. The acquisition of property
and education is the paramount need
of those struggling people to whom
he is lending the benefit of his years
Of study of the human race and of
his invaluable prestige.
Whether we agree with Mr.. Oar
rows theory about religion or not ev-
cry sound thinking person must adj
NIT that Clarence barrow, the mate
rialist, approaches in a larger, bigger
and finer way those noble attributes
of humility and brotherly love than
most of his race who pose as follow
ers of Christ. The ideals of justice,
equality and common decency are
not empty symbols to barrow; they
are exhibited in the every day action
of the man in larger measure than
most preachers who parade under
the banner of the Lowly Nazarene.

No, Mr.. Negro, you have not voted

gone to another land to acquire your

WOMEN WORKERS
ARE POORLY PAID
in TENNESSEE

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 26.-(Spe-
ciaD earnings of colored wo-
men workers in Tennessee, the find
ings of the women's bureau show,
fell very much below those of white
women. While half of the white
women earned as much as $11.10 a
week, half of the colored women
earned less than $6.95. all of the
latter receiving less than $22 and
only about one-seventh of them as
much as $40.
In laundries where the largest
group of Race women were employ
ed. the medium earnings were 1856,
while the figure for white women
was $S.95. In the manufacture o
tobacco products other than cigars.
the industry employing the second
largest number of Race women, the
medium earnings were $3.50. For
white women in this industry the
medium figure was 1920.
The number of hours of work
which brought the highest earnings
was greater for the colored women
than for the white, the highest med
that of women who had worked 81
hours. One-half of these earned as
much as 1925.
More than one-half of the women
were under rs years of age, three
in 10 of them being not yet 20. Half
of all the women were single and
one-fifth were widows, separated or
divorced Approximately four-fifths
lived at home and nearly one-eighth
lived independently.

EDITORIALS

Strange il is how this matter of
race enters into so many things of
American life. In countries where
there is no color problem a colored
person as factor in everyday
events is a rare thing. But, take the
Snyder-Gray trial-an American
chapter in sordidness. In the first
place, both Ruth Snyder and Judd
Gray had planned to place the blame
for their crime upon a colored man.
If they had been in the South this
undoubtedly would have caused some
poor, innocent victim to have been
lynched. Being in the North there
would have been a ready identified
ton" in which event some unfortu-
nate man would have paid the pen
atty for his color in the electric chair.
Thus you have the strange spectre
of the nationwide color problem en-
tering at the very inception of the
murderous conspiracy of the So
called "Ruthless Ruth and Clubbing
Judd" Only the accidental finding
of an Italian newspaper on the way
to the scene of the crime swerved
them from their original intention
and caused them to yell foreign
ers." But the "color complex" was
there-there in the forefront of the
most gruesome tale spun before the
eyes of an eager and sordid public.

Soon we will observe the 59th an
niversary of Memorial Day, a day
dedicated to pay homage to the ma
tons soldiers who have passed on.
Let us remember all they have done
and make it worth the price they
have paid. Let US pay homage to
those heroes living, as well as strew
flowers upon the graves of those who
are dead. Let the nations wounds be
healed and may this nation care for
him who has borne the battle, and
his widow and his orphans. Let us
believe, despite doubts and dictums
to the contrary, that these dead shall
not have died in vain.

MIR. Brisbane writes on the lynch
ing of John Carter, half-witted mo-
lester of a southern white woman,
that, there can be no dispute as to
what Carter deserved" There is a
dispute and it emanates from all civ
iKzed Americans. He deserved trial
by a jury of his peers. He deserved
to receive the protection of the law
and not the barbarous rope of the
1yncher. Brisbane probably was
brass checked" into writing such an
article. He has been known to do
such before if Mr. Upton Sinclair is
to be taken as an authority. Bris-
bane certainly is no socialist, even
though he claims that he was nur-
tured on socialism from his mothers
breast. Socialism with all its falIa-
cies and dogmatisms is more civil
lied doctrine than Brisbane pro-
nounces.

Among the heart-touching stories

Among the heart-touehing stories
coming out of the flood region is the
news of the heroism of the little
town of Mound Bayou, Miss. The
1000 inhabitants of that community
are Negroes, except the railroad sta
tionmaster.
Mound Bayou. having escaped
flood waters itself, has been the ha-
ven of more than a thousand refu-
gees-almost as many as the town S
own population. The natives of the
little town have taken care of all the
food sufferers who have come to it
for help. When the only local ply
sicians died, two weeks ago, the Red
Gross sent in two colored physicians.
All other services have been provid-
ed by Mound Bayou citizens at their
own expense.
Heroism and service are not con-
fined to the white race.

"a. a man ,binke,h in his heart, S

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so
is he" If he thinks he is inferior,
he win accept an inferior position.
If he thinks that everything white
is holy, upright and honorable, and
everything black is unholy, impure
and dishonorable, he will have faith
in the things which are white and
despise things which are black.
There are organized forces in AM
erica whose sole objective is to make
the Negro think that he is inferior.
These same forces have constantly
fought to inculcate a superiority
complex in the Anglo-Saxon. They
understand that the only way to
keep a submerged people down is to
make them believe that they are not
quite as good as other folk.
1t is evident that the propaganda
to make the Negro feel inferior has
borne fruit most abundantly. 1t has
made him accept inequalities with
out protest. He receives the crumbs
of political patronage with joy and
thanksgiving. The entire population
gives a banquet and gratefully wor-
ships a political leader who gives a
Negro a mere clerkship in some min
or office. He falls down and wor-
ships the member of the dominant
group who puts him on the shoulder.
The things which other people ac
cept as matter of right, the Negro
accepts as though a special favor has.

A novel feature of the refugee
camps established in the flooded areas
of the lower Mississippi valley is. that
in some places there are three sepa-
rate camps, for white Americans,
colored Americans and Mexicans.
Thus the race problem grows more
complicated. Instead of a two-fold
problem it now is three-fold.
There are fewer Negroes but more
Mexicans. As Negroes have moved
north, Mexicans have poured in and
taken their places in the southwest
and middle south.
There are said to be from l,500,-
900 to 100000 Mexicans of min
gled Spanish and Indian blood-the
latter predominating-now living in
the United States. The line of de-
narration between them and the ma
tive whites is not so clean-cut as be-
tween whites and blacks.

EVENTUALLY

Sooner of later of course, the United States will
have three dlStnct arms for national defense, an
Air Department taking it's place with that Of Army
and Navy. There will be Secretary Of equal
ranking, with place in the Presidents cabnet-and
unless the trend of the times is entirely misleading
the Air Department will rank of first Importance.
Old ideas die slowly. Power gives up its throne
ungraciously, It has always been thus. Great
minds have usually been prosecuted and punished
FOR daring to try to change the order of things
even for distinct advancement of mankind.
Former Colonel William E. Mitchell of the U. S.
Army Air Division dared some two or three years
ago to tell us what we needed in the air to keep
abreast other nations. He advocated an Air De
partment under its own head and detached from
Army and Navy-to the extent that those depart
ments have always been separated. It was not long
until he found himself back in private life
The American Legion in its Paris convention,
just closed, has gone on record for an Air Depart
ment-as new and separate unit of our defense Of
course 1T will not come because Washington does
not operate that way But eventually.
Does the reader of these lines know of a man
etIer qualfed to head the department than William
y. Mitchell? The nation owes it to him.
