Order of CoIored Nuns.

From exchanges it is learned that
New Orleans has the only order of
Catholic nuns among AfrO-Americans
in this country and perhaps in the
world, which order has been in ex-
istence for the past fifty years or more
and has done a world of good among
the cOlored folk o. the state of Louis
ana as well as the adjoining states.
That those sisters, though swarthy in
complexion, have done much good no
one denies, but the Catholic church
is the last place the writer ever ex-
pected to hear of the color line being
drawn, and while this order may have
nevertheless the thought was enter
tanned that the Catholic church would
not permit anything within it's ritual
that would show any signs Of drawing
the color line. Of all of the Christian
churches that have come under the
observation of the writer he has al
ways held the Catholic church in rev.
erent respect because it always held
out a helping hand to the oppressed
Negro while the other churches were
nothing more nor less than a branch
of the political organizations, that
struggled with might and main to keep
the Negro down. The same prejudices
and objections to the rights of the
Negro were to be found in the church
as in their social halls or their po-
litical club rooms, but the Catholic
church has always proved the rock of
refuge for those oppressed people, and
while not so many in. comparison to
the good it has done have taken
advantage of the open door of the
Catholic church and become members
thereof, nevertheless it has done the
work just the same. Let us hope that
in the future no other order of nuns
will be organized among Afro-Ameri-
cans, and yet let us hope that just
as many devOut women of color will
become helping sisters to fallen hui
manity as in the past, and finally let
us hope color prejudice in no form
will ever be found in Catholic churches
and institutions.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Continued from first pape)

by the whites and are deadly
opposed to his joining them, and like
wise to them securing work of any
kind; where theatrical unions form
associations to prevent his theatrical
troops from playing in first-class
houses and likewise prevent them from
joining the white associations, and
where the Negro is barred from every
kind of professional and industrial la
bOrs it is plain to be seen that he
should be slow in abandoning the
farm. To be sure, many of them find
employment in the larger cities as
menials, and the demand is probably
greater than the supply, but in not
supplying the demand the colored peo-
pie act wisely in not abandoning the
farm and taking such positions. When
the colored folk of the various South
ern states will have been taught the
full value of the farm and how to take
charge of it SO as to make it a paying
proposition, instead of one of drudg-
cry, the South will becOme the garden
spot of the United States and the
Negro, who is now hated and despised
will become the real possessor of the
land and the wealth of the entire
Southern states. The South is referred
to in this connection because it is
there that the Negro is found in the
greatest numbers,a nd it is there that
they seem to do best, and with eli
matte conditions favoring them their
success is assured if they but get hold
of the right end of the financial and
agricultural conditions and stick to it.

Fighting Separate Schools.

There is a bitter fight in Topeka,
Kansas, over the maintenance of sep
arate schools for colored children.
The matter is now before the Supreme
Court of that state on appeal from
the decision of the lower court, which
decided against the colored folk. There
is quite a racial history surrounding
this school fight in Topeka, and one
that the colored folk themselves in
OJner sections would do we'll to profit
from. Years ago, after Topeka had
gained a population of ten of fifteen
thousand colored folk they clamored
for colored schools where their young
ladies and young men could be en-
ployed as teachers. The leading
whites in that community prevailed
on them to not make such a false move
for they would live to regret it if they
did. Let your children go as they are
now and the day will come when some
of them will be employed in the
white, but if you form seperate schools
for them then you have opened up a
bHhch that will never be bridged over
again" To this, however, they paid
no heed, but clamored and clamored
for separate schools until they got
them, and now it is the colored folk
themselves that are making the fight
of their lives against the maintenance
of separate schools. The disposition
on the part of the colored folk them
selves to eternally draw the color line,
and then raise the devil if their white
bretnern follow their example, is too
prevalent even in this far Northwest,
and if the colored people would be wise
they would profit from the experiences
of the colored folk of Topeka, and
leave this drawing of the color line
to others and not to themselves.
