termined to seek his fortune in America
and will make strong protest to the court
against the proposal of the charity organ
izatiOCs to have him deported.
In his own language the lad last evening.
in the Raymond street jail. declared he was
not an alien; that Porto Rico where he was
born, was American. and that he was an
American. too. and could not be deported
like a foreigner. He also declared that he

What Is the attitude Of The white
Long Islanders 10 this projects
Are they happy in the thought that
the colored brother from The South
bas deci'ied ~ migrate 10 Northern
latitudes and establish colony in
the midst OF his white friends?
That ought 10 bee the frame OF mind
of the Long Island people, but,
Judging by the statements OF our
New York contemporary, th.y are
not organizing reception committees
to give the colored brother from
Dixie a cordial welcome. On the
contrary, they are going back on
their oftrepeaied prvlcs.ations of
affection for the bruiLer in black
when he is Mt remote distance and
are protesting vigorously against
his invasion OF Long Island. They
love the eolored man when he Is
several hundred miles away, but
they grow cold and inhospitable as
soon as he decides to- colonize in
sight of their summer residences.
The head of this ambitious pro-
ject OF negro colonization in the
North is Rufus L. Perry, a ne
gro lawyer in Brooklyn. The
Tribune quotes him as saying:
I'VE have procured all OF what is
known as Peconic Park, right on
Peconic Bay, near Riverhead. Sew
eral manufacturers have helped Us
to the extent OF arranging factories
70 be operated entirely by negroes.
OF course there Is objection. but the
people don't delieve In segregation
for the negro or in assimilation.
You may depend upon il that when
the colony is chartered as city the
negroes will have q large say in the
politics of Suffolk county"
It is sad 70 think that the Long
islanders are not enthusiastic over
the conversion of n portion of their
territory into an Afro American
Beulah Land. The frosty reception
which they have accorded the pro
ject viii give great pain TO a race
which expected more friendly treat
ment from its admirers in Northern
latitudes. The promoters of the
scheme should otgrow discouraged,
however. II Long Island objects,
Boston will give the colonists an
affectionate greeting and viii gra-
ciously permit the coiored brother
TO make Beulab Land OF its famous
common. Sam.
