W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, the Negro 1
‘mislender.M who is editor of the!
“Crisis.” the official organ of the Nat-1
ional Association for the Advancement!
of “certain” Colored People, situated
at 70 Fifth Avenue. New York City,
has again appeared in print. This time
he appears as author of an article in
the February “Century” Magazine un
der the caption, “Back to Africa.”’ in
which he makes the effort to criticize
Marcus Garvey, the Universal Negro
Improvement Association and the
Black Star Line. This “unfortunate
mu'atto.” who bewails every day the
drop of Negro blood in his veins,, be
ing sorry that ho Is not Dutch or
French has taken upon himself the
responsibility of criticizing and con
demning other people while holding
himself up as the social “unapproacb
able” and the great “I AM” of the Ne
gro ra«*e. Bu we will sec who Mr Du
Bois, is in thal he invites his own
characterization. So we will therefore
let him see himself as others see him.
“FAT, BLACK. UGLY MAN.”
In describing Marcus Garvey in the !
article before mentioned, he referred •
to him as a “little, fat. black man: I
ugly but with intelligent eyes and a
big head.” Nov, what does Du Bois I
mean by ugly? This so-called professor ,
of Harvard and Berlin ought to know (
by now that the standard of beauty
within a race is not arrived at by com j
parison with another race; as for in j
stance .if we were to desire to find out j
the standard of beauty among the j
’ Japanese people we would not judge
them from the Anglo-Saxon viewpMn*.
but. from the Japanese. How he arriv
es at his conclusion that Marcus Ga
vey is ugly, being a Negro, is impossi
ble to determine, in that if there is
any ugliness in the Negro race it would
be reflected more through Du Bois
than Marcus Garvey, in that he him
self tells us that he is a little Dutch, a
little French, and a dozen other things.
Why, In fact, the man is a monstros
ity. So. if there is any ugliness it is on
the part of Du Bois and not on the part
of the "little fat, black man with the
big head,” because an this description
is typical of the African. But this only
goes to show how much hate Du Bois
has for the black blood in his veins.
Anything that is black, to him, is ugiy
is hideous, Is monstrous, and this is
why in 1917 he had hut the lightest of
colored people In his office, when one
could hardly tell whether it was a
white show or a colored vaudeville ne
was running at Fifth avenue. It was
only after the Universal Negro Im-1
provement Association started to i
pounce upon him and his National A3
sociatlon for the Advancement of Col- ;
ored People that they admitted that !
colored element into the association •
that could he distinguished as Negro
and it was during that period of time
that Weldon Johnson and Pickens got
a look-in. But even Pickens must havt !
been “ugly" for Du Bois, for they
made it so warm for him up to a few I
months ago that he had to go a-hunt
ing for another job, the time when
Marcus Garvey was willing to wel
come him into the Universal Negro Im
provement Association.
DU BOIS AND WHITE COMPANY.
It Is no wonder that Du Bois seeks
the company of white people, because
he hates blacks as being ugly. That is
why he likes to dance with white pe>
pie and dine with them and sometimes
sleep with them, because from his way
of seeing th ngs all that is black is
ugly and all that is white Is beautiful.
Yet this professor, who sees ugliness
in being black, essays to be a leader
of the Negro people and has been try 1
ing for over fourteen years to deceive
them through his connection with the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People Now what does
he mean by advancing colored people
if he hates hlack so much? In what
direction must we expect his advance
ment? We can conclude in no other
wav than that it. Is in the direction of
losing our black identity and becom
ing. ns nearly as possible, the lowest
whites by assimilation and miscegena
tion.
, Tbi? probnblv is accountable for th<»
bleaching process and the hair strnignt
enlng escapades of some of the people
who are identified with the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People in their mad desire of
approach to the white race, in which
they see beauty as advocated by the
professor from Harvard and Benin.
It is no wonder some of these Individ
uals use the lip-stick, and it is no won

MINISTERS TELL WHY
NEGROES QUIT SOUTH.
(Preston News Service)
Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 28.—A com
mittee of Negro ministers represent
ing the International Ministers’ Alli
ance here filed a lengthy memoran- '
j dum with the chairman of the Wel
fare Department of the Chamber of
Commerce of Memphis last Tuesday
morning. i
Among the most important thing.' 1
cited ns to why Negroes are leaving
the South and Memphis in particular
for other sections is police oppression
This is given as the principal cause of
Negro migration which is seriously
( affecting labor supply.
The officials of tire Chamber of Com
| merce immediately took up the mas
ter with the police department and
i city authorities. The ministers cited
two recent killings of Negroes on
Scott street as unwarranted. It is
claimed that officers unlawfully searcu
Negro homes. Pointed out that on on.
occasion a Negro told thie officers that
they had no right to enter his home
without a warrant He is said to have
i told them that he would protect his
home against invasion. The police
paid no attention to his statement and
! forced their way into his house. One
officer was killed and another wounded
A riot, call was sent in and this Negro
: was kill'd. Following this several
I homes were entered by the officers.
I evidently for the purpose of striking
i terror into the hearts and minds of
I Negroes. Two other killings occurred
i that same night. These unfortunate
I outrages were followed by an exodus
of several hundred Negro fami."ies.
The ministers told the officer* or
the Chamber of Commerce that they
wo-e having a hard time in the far
of such affairs to convince Negroes
that they ihould remain here in Mem
p’Ps. One minister said. "I believ.
that I voice the sentiment of everv
* -11 mennl.*g Negro In the So • h
when I say t’w.t Negroes naturally
love the South, l»nt the-y are liumai ,
cannot and will not tol-rate police op
press!on ku khrxism and lynching. H
businessmen, city and state officials,
employers and white people of every
walk in life will begin to treat the Ne
gro according to the golden rule labor
shortage, shlPilessness and Towdyism
will decrease considerably. Things
will be better for all.”

TELLS WHY MISS H. Q.
BROWN WAS REMOVED.
(I'ltnlou Nin» icr)
Cleveland, Ohio. Feb. 28.—“Tho
effort of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, former
Wilberforee teacher, to retard the on
ward march of Wilberforee University
through the publication of unwarrant
ed attacks, reminds one forcibly of
the ‘Fly’—of Aesop f-. me that aligln- i
ing upon the wheel of a moving chari
ot exclaimed: ‘see the dust I am rain
ing ’’ declared Ormond A. Forter secre
tary of the Combined Normal anu in
dustrial Board of Trustees of Wilber
force University, last Friday after
noon .
Continuing Mr. Forte said, “Miss
Brown was recently removed from
the faculty of the Combined Normal
and Industrial Dei artnjent. Wilber
force because of in comp*. l*m y. The
action was taken by the Board of Trus
tee-; of the Department after the State
Inspector of Normal Schools had re
ported to the Board that Miss Brown
bad not the slightest conception of tho
subjects she was assigned to teach.
“And now the veteran teacher grad
uated fifty years ago from WTilherfor?o
turns against her alma mater anu
seeks to see her discomfited. It would
have been wise if the veteran teacher
had not sought to prove lierseif a
martyr to tbe cause of square-dealing,
but on the contrary, she has sought
to make the public believe that she wa3
let out because of influence Bishop
Joshua H. Jones is supposed to have
in the affairs of the school. Miss
Brown might have done this with
some degree of succes. if she hud been
removed from the College or Academy
faculty, but it was no so.
“‘The whole painful truth is that
Miss Brown tried to fill a position in
the Normal Department Tor which
she was entirely unfitted by training
and experience. The man. wbo msho
now attempts to discredit, was the in
dividual who, by reason of his ei«*
quent and impassioned plea to the
Board of Trustees, secured the posi
tion for Miss Brown. But he was power
less to save her scalp when it became
imperative—for the sake of scholastic
standing of the Normal Department—
to remove Miss Brown.
"Previous to 1921 Mi»s Brown taught
English in the Academy, and so far as
can be learned l»er work was satisfac
tory. But when the position of Teoch
er of the History of Education and
Normal English became vacant, with
n larger snlary, she sought the posi
tion, unmindful of her lack of qualifi
cations. It is needless to enter into
a discussion as to why Miss Brown |
was unfitted for the post. Let it suf- ,
fiee to say that since her graduation
from the College Department of Wil
brrforce fifty years ago. sire has not
taken any training preparatory to
teaching in the Normal School and
consequently could not be expected to
understand ‘Methods’ such as are da
manded of modern teachers.
“It was felt by the Board of Trus
tees that Miss Brown would gracefully
announce that she had resigned from
the faculty, and consequently no an
nouncement was made. Hence it was
a comparatively easy matter to at
tempt to fasten the burden upon Bish
op Jonesl, who of course. Is one of tiro
moving spirits at Wilberforce and no
doubt better known as an official ot
the School. However, the Board of
Trustees assumes the full responsibil
ity of removing Miss Brown from the
faculty and it regrets that unpleasant
publicity should have been resorted
to by the able Club leader,
"The National Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs ought to get the facts and
not permit Itself to be used in the mat
ter, unless sure of its ground.
‘"The ne#>d for Wilberforce Is far
more compelling than the unholding
of the whims and fancies of a well
meaning hut antiquated teacher, who
has served her day and now refuses
lo he shelved to make room- lor the
newer and mert competent element
“Surely there is enough examp’es In
(he retlremen- of such able an i re.
nowned educators ns Charles W. Eli
ott. of Harvard; Henry C King of
0b« rlln and Charles F. Thwing of
Western Reserve to give Miss HalHo

ld,eness from a position for which she
was entirely unfitted.”

HOLD MASS SERVICES.
February 24.—A mass meeting ol
tbe citizens of Petersburg was held on
Tuesday night at Gillficld Baptist
church under the auspice® of the Hen
ry Williams and Stephene-Jordan
Bible classes. The church was well fill
ed with interested listeners, all ot'
whom were desirous to help to bring
about complete amicable relations be
tween the races.
Dr. J. M. Gandy President of the Vir
ginia Normal and Industriitl Institute
was the principal speaker. Dr. Gandy
sp ke enthusiastically on the subject.
Ills sane and thoughtful utterances
were based on scientific facts concern
ing tiro inter racial conditions, past
and present, which have and do exist
in the south.
A need for organized efforts in the
city of Petersburg, to bring about bet
ter feeling between the races was bas
ed by the speaker upon tbe facts that
such efforts are being made in other
local communities: that the Southern
Sociological Congres* the University
Race Commission, and the Phelps
Stokes Fellowship* all of which take
In tbe entire South, and are sponsored
and enrried on by the leading white
citizens of the South and North, are
studying scientifically the race ques
tion and working to bring about peace
ful and sane method of dealing with
the race relations.
A«* second point Dr. Gandy showed
what has been accomplished through
the efforts of those organized bodies.
He showed that the state of Georgia
has taken a decided change In its meth
od of dealing with those who lynch.
From 188S to 1922 there were 427
lynebings in that state and only ovn
indictment: in 1922 there were eight
lynchings. 22 indictments and fou
convictions.
A third idea emphasized was the
faet that the Negro must do his
part in helping on this era of "rood
wlii. and it Is only by the exoreMng
of the Christian principles that anv
permanent good ran he accomplished.
An e.vo'nttenacv rather fh-*• ~ rpvo'n

UNITED SMS SUPREME COURT
SETS ASIDE THE CONVICTION OF
ARKANSAS PEONS IN RIOT CASES
N. A. A, C, P, VICTORIOUS ON BRIEF ARGUED BY THE
HON MOORFIELD STOREY IN FAMOUS RIOT
CASES, THE OUTGROWTH OF PEONAGE.
* * ._
f
The five Arkansas peons, condemn-^
eil to deuth by Arkansas courts in *
connection with the riots of 1910 !
whoso oases the National Association 1
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-1
pie has fought through five courts in !
’ eluding the Arkansas Supreme Court I
will not he executed, according to a de!
! cision rendered by the highest tribun i
! al of the land on February 19. setting
1 aside the conviction of these men. The
Supreme Court’s decision takes the
cases of the condemned colored farm
ers out of the jurisdiction of the State
' of Arkansas and requires the United
| States District Court to examine into
the attempt to railroad these men te
death.
The Arkansas eases constitute the
center o? a fight being made to bring
the facts of peonage in the cotton ra<s
in? sections of the U. S. to light and to
bring federal pressure to abolish that
evil. In the legal battle for defense of
these men the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo
! Pie has raised $14 572.42 and nlreadv
; spent $14.115.74. besides thousands ot
j dollars raised and .-pent by the color
; ed people of Arkansas who were vital
| ly interested in the fate of their com
| rades. The victory before the Supreme
! Court is due to the courageous and
untiring labors of Soipio A. Jones a
j colored attorney of Little Rook, and to
Moorfield Storey President of the N
A. A. C. P., who appeared before the
I Supreme Coim in Washington on Jan
, nary 9 1923. to argue the cases.
> The Arkansas Case originated in
flie riot of 1919. when it was asserted
that the colored farmers in and near
j Phillips County. Arkansas, had con
spired to “massacre the whites.” A per
sonal investigation of the riot made
by Walter F. White, who was sent m
Arkansas by the N. A. A. C. P... dis
closed that far from planning a “massa
ere” the colored farmers had been or
gan ized to employ a lawer to compel
settlement from their landlords who
were holding th-eir tenants in a state
of peonage or debt slavery.
During the riots, some 250 innocen*
Negroes, men women and children,
were hunted and shot down in the Ar
kansas cane brakes* posses of white
men coming from Mississippi um.
Tennessee to join in the hunt. The
colored men arrested were beaten and
tortured to make them testify, 67 were
sentenced to long prison terms and
twelve were sentenced to death. The
cases of all the men sentenced to dea'li
binge upon the cases of the five wao-'e
convictions have been reversed by the
United States Supreme Court.
In tbe brief filed before the Supreme
Uourt by Mr. Storey, it is charged
that the courts of Arkansas, includ
ing the Arkansas Supreme Court th"
newspapers. leading white citizens
and clubs, conspired or connived at a
conspiracy to railroad these colored
farmers to death.
The Supreme Court's decision sayb: !
"The ground for tlie petition for tbe 1
writ is that the proceedings in the
State Court although a trial in form,
were only the pressure of a mob witn
out any regard for their rights and
without according to them due process
of law.” Concerning the trial accorded
the colored men tire United States
Supreme Court’s decision says:
"According to the affidavits of two
white men and the colored witnesses
on whose testimony the petitioners
were convicted, produced by the peti
tioners since the last decision of the
Supreme Court hereafter mentioned,
fhe Committee made good their prom
ise by calling colored witnesses and
having them whipped and tortured tin
tM tlrey would say wdiat they wanted,
strong them being the two relied on
to prove the petitioners’ guilt. How
ever that may he. a grand Jury of
white men was organized on October
27th, with one of the Committee cf
Seven, and It Is alleged, with many of
those organized to fight the blacks, up
on it/, and on the morning of the 291b
the indictment was returned. On Nov
ember 3rd the petlt’oners were
1 rought into Court informed that a
certain lawyer was appointed their
counsel and were placed on trial be
'cie white Jury - blacks being syste
matically excluded from both grand
and petit Juries The Court was crowd
cu with a throng that threatened the
•Ttr.i dangerous ccrf-euuences to any
one interfering witb the desired re
sult. The counsel did not venture to de
.mand delay or a change of venue, to
challenge a Jurymtun or to ask for sep
urate trials. He had had no prelimi
nary consultation with the accused
culled no witnesses for the defense al
though they could have been produced
and did not put the defendants on the
stand. The trial lasted about three
quarters of an hour and in less than
five minutes the ju-y brought in a.
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree. According to the allega
tions acquired; no juryman could
have voted for an acquittal and toi.
tinued to live in Phillips County, and
if any prisoner by any chance had
been acquitted by the Jury he cou:d
not have escaped the mob.
“We shall not say more concerning
the corrective process afforded to the
petitioners than that it does not seem
to us sufficient to allow a Judge of the
United States to escape the duty o
examining the facts for himself, wnej,
if true as alleged they make the trial
absolutely void. We have confined th*
statement to the facts admitted by th
demurrer. We will not say that thev
cannot be met, but it appears to tv-,
unavoidable that the District Judge
should find whether the facts alleged
are true and whether they can be ex
plained so far ns to leave the State
proceedings undisturbed.
Order reversed. The case to
Ptand for hearing before the
District Court.”
