CUTTING
OUT NEGRO
PAT-
RON AGE.
The announcement comes from
North CaroHna that Collier's Weekly,
through one of its agents, has given
specific order that no business shall
be taken from Negroes. Likewise, the
announcement is heralded broadcast
from New York that the Metropolitan
Insurance Company has notified its
agents to accept no uew business irom
Negroes. The report of the actions of
Collier's agents is surprising if true,
more so than that of the insurance
company. The refusal by cither con
cern, though, to accept business of
Negroes will not hurt our race.
There are thousands of publishers
who want , our money, and there are
some insurance companies so anxious
for our patronage that they will not
inflict upon us the bumptious white
agents. But what is more important,
the refusal to accept our patronage by
white business concerns raakesit bet
ter for our own business men. '
A HASTY DENIAL.
It would seem from recent develop
ment sthat the War Department has
contracted a case of acute sensitive
ness or that it is endeavoring to exem
plify the old adage, "A guilty con
science needs no accuser." Last Sun
day the press dispatches contained the
news that the department had ordered
all the colored soldiers to the Philip
pine Islands for service. In the same
article was a ong interview with a
member of the general staff of the
army denying that the order was prej
udicial to the colored troops or that
It had been inspired by the Browns
ville affair.
The Department's explanation and
denial as voiced by the officer briefly
stated is this: All the white troops
. have seen foreign service, but only
one regiment of the colored troops has
been detailed for such service, the
Twenty-fifth Infantry, which Is at.
the Philippine Islands at present It
was formerly thought that the colored
troops were not fitted for duty in the
colonies, but the Twenty-fourth is
making such an exemplary record the
general staff advised that the colored
regiments be treated as the whites
have been; that they he required to ac
cept foreign service. The action was
not influenced by the Brownsville af
fair nor by the reports being circu
lated as to the conduct of the soldiers
at other posts. It is really a promo
tion for the men, as they will receive
an increase of 20 per cent In wages
and one year will count as two years
In their service record.
It seems strange that this explana
tion was necessary on the very day
that the order was issued. There
ihvii!e
t
could be no objections cArnoment
to assigning tho colored t?ops to
any post or duty where tso whites
had been assigned prtvicusly. But
It appears from the action taken at
this particular time that the criticism
being showered upon the commander:
In-chief of the army has caused the
troops, to be withdrawn under fire.
Then, again, this order , has recalled
and given added importance to an or
der recently sent that enlisting officers
should use every effort to enlist
"white" men. It looks as if the de
partment is trying to promote the col
ored troops out of the army.
LYNCHING STATISTICS.
According to statistics gathered by
one of the' daily papers of the North,
during the year 1906, 73 persons were
lynched in the United States, This is
an Increase of eight victims over 1905.
One hundred and thirty-five were
lynched in 1901 96 in 1902, 104 in
1903, 87 in 1904. Mississippi lead? all
the states in the number of victims,
13 having met death at the hands of
tho mob. This, however, is 7 less for
the state than in 1905. Louisiana had
9; Georgia, 9; Texas,' 6; Florida, '6;
Alabama, 5; South Carolina, 5; North
Carolina, 5; Arkansas, 4; Kentucky, 3;
Missouri, 3; Tennessee, 2; Indian Ter
ritory, 1; Maryland, 1; Colorado, 1.
Of the number killed three were white
and 70 colored, one of the latter being
a woman.
The most interesting part of the sta
tistics is that which ' relates , to the
crimes punished by the mob. The
following are the crimes apportioned:
Quintuple murder, dual murder, mur
der and robbery, assault and mur
trlple criminal assault, miscegenation,
improper proposals, petty robbery,
carrying a loaded pistol; theft of a
yearling calf, disorderly conduct, one
victim each; quadruple murder, 4;
attempted murder, 11; murder, 15;
criminal assault 13; attempted crimi
nal assault, 19. It is to be noted that
persons that were kileld In riots like
that of Atlanta are not included in
the list.
These statistics put at rest the con
tention of President Roosevelt and
others that the crime of lynching is
most generously provoked by criminal
assault. Less tnan one-fifth of those
to meet death at the hand of the mob
were alleged to be guilty of the "un
mentionable crime," and only about
one-fourth had been accused of at
tempting the crime. The sta
tistics snow tt?at in some com
munities, owing to a
ment of the law, a
lax enforee
Negro may
be lynched for any cause which the
white man may decide is a capital
crime. They further emphasize the
fact that with all the machinery of
justice in his hands, the legislative,
executive and judicial, the southern
whites, and we say southern whites
because lynehlngs are more general In
this section than in others and it is
here that the Negro has the least in
fluence in the shaping of public af
fairs, are afraid to trust their own
men to dispense that even-handed jus
tice to which every man Is entitled.
If any section of the country should
enforce the laws more than another,
that , section is the South.
We have never been very enthusias
tic as a supporter of the various ex
slave pension movements that have
Deen inaugurated wntreby the ex-
slaves were to receive a pension fnn
the general government But, it does
seem that these ex-slaves are as much
entitled to a pension as various com
munities of the South which are asking
for reimbursement with interest for
the damage done by the federal armies
during the late Civil War.
lowa starts mo new year with a
new brand of lynching. A white man
charged with the murder of his wife
and child was taken from the jail and,
T . i ...
after a prayer service, was lynched
The victim, who was about GO years
old, had been demented for a number
of years. A nf-w brand of lynihing
but an old method of "casting out the
devils." First pray and then kill! It
reminds one of the stories about the
Salem witches.
The "Washington Bee has come out
as a strong derender of Booker Wash
ington, having devoted almost a
whole issue to Tuskegee and its work.
Now some of the papers of the coun
try, which have heretofore joined ed
itor Chas in fighting the Wizard of
Tuskegee, want to know how : much
the veteran newspaper mas got If
there is anything in it, doubtless they
want to be put next
Senator Joe Bailey, the great consti
tutional lawyer from Texas, is not
worried about whether Roosevelt vio
lated his constitutional authorities in
dismissing "without honor" the bat
talion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry,
lie is trying to pour oil no not oil,
for the mere mentioning of the word
i3 nauseating to the statesman from
Texas upon the troubled waters.
The report comes from Chattanooga
that Sheriff Shlpp, his deputies and
the other men who are charged with
contempt by the Supreme Court will
soon be arrested. We Jiopo it is true.
The guilty persons should he convicted
and receive the full penalty provided
by the law.
The stories coming through the
newspapers concerning the crimes of
the black regiments show tha the art
ist who was located at Mole St. Nich
olas during the Spanish-American
skirmish has changed his base of op
erations.
The Hon. James K. Vardaman, Gov
ernor of Mississippi, has been accused
of graft by one of the state officials.
The only thing "urprising is that the
charge Is not worse. .
The legislators are trying to drive
whisky out of the state by legislative
enactment. Heretofore they have used
other methods for getting rid of the
fire-water.
Gov. John I. Cox must think he is a
second Theodore Roosevelt, judging by
the length of his message.
The Globe has expanded.
How do
you like the change?
PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The pupils of this school spent the
holidays pleasantly. Nearly all of
them, at one time or another, were
present at some little social affair,
which has already been noted in the
columns of the Globe.
That was a neat and opportune five-
minute talk which Prof. Smith gave
the pupils on the first day of school
in the New Year. According to his
comparison, the New Year was to the
pupils as a fresh block of marble to
the sculptor. As the sculptor saw an
angel in the uncut stone that lay be
fore him, so each pupil ought to see
in the New Year a higher and purer
ideal and ought to entertain fresh
hopes for a better and brighter future.
That as the sculptor would not touch
marble without a definite plan and
idea of what he wished to create, so
the pupils ought not to enter upon the
New Year without meditating upon
what they wished to accomplish this
year. Their aim3 should be higher and
their efforts more strenuous to succeed
than ever before.
Mr. Eugene Taylor, who was ab
sent from school several days on ac
count of the serious illness of his fa
ther, has returned.
Miss Maud Webster, a pupil In the
9th-A grade, was married last week to
Mr. Herbert Voorhies, of the class of
1904.
Mr. Willis Summers and Mr. John
Caldwell have returned from Okla
homa, where they went to spend the
holidays.
Examinations occur next week, and
there is a feeling of nervousness
among the pupils, copeciolly . among
the Seniors.
