NEGRO EQUALITY
UP IN ILLINOIS
Action of White People in
Treating the Negro As a
Social Equal Makes Him
InsOient. Wants to Marry
White Women.

"The race question Is proving to be
thorn in the side of those good but
mistaken citizens of my State, who
have been so earnestly prea ching
social equality said Mr.. Percy
Goodman at Luehrmann' today.
I'm Illinois we not only allow the
negro to attend the same school with
the white children. but we attend the
same church, eat at the same table,
aud in fact. we treat the colored
brother or sister as If he or she were
our equal in every respect.
NOW, it has been my experience
that where the negro is thus treated
he becomes insolent and hard headed
as a bull. He overestimates his i'm
portance IN the community. He thinks
if he should fail to vote the whole
American Union would roll into the
slough of despond at one swoop He
thinks especially if he Is the posses
sor of few hundred dollars, tnat he is
better than poor white trash and
ne acts accordingly.
1.-The lynching of negro in Illinois
last night Is the direct result of PAM
ering the negroes in that State. The
black mans one paramount ambition
is to marry white woman, and ii
he cannot do this he assaults her
when he gets chance. That is the
reason for so many of these outrages
according to my belief. The average
negro knows full we'll that he Will in
all probability be lynched for that I'M
namable crime, but he is willing to
die SO ignobly and horribly it he is
permitted to criminaily assault white
woman.
