The Seattle Republican., 1900-10-19

markably well, and the only regret
three times as many more Of them
! there than there are. It was pay
day last Saturday and everybody and
his brother got a handful Of money.
Many Of us read with much pleasure
every week The Seattle Republican,
because it tells Of things Just as they
are
Il Am Race Man" may be rather
a sentimental idea on which to hood
wink the unsuspecting body polite
Of race, but no man is a race
man unless he is doing something
to elevate the race to which he be-
longs, besides standing around on
other mems street corners proclaim
ing that fact If you are race man
you will get out and open for yourself
some kind Of business or go to the
country and get you a farm and
then farm it. Men who depend on
some one else making a job for them
to earn their daily bread are darned
poor men for any race or nationality
from progressive standpoint.

The Baptist missionaries sent to
this city from the East to look after
the spiritual welfare Of the Afro
Americans in the community seem
to soon forget their calling and drift
off into politics, Democratical at
that. Democratic politics of course
pays better than preaching, but
there certainly cannot be much re-
ligion in the soul Of preacher that
will quit preaching and go to doing
Slum politics.
