Pastor First Congregation al Church. Savannah Georgia.

Then to add the blacklist background
to an already dark picture, this same
state, through an official, opposes the
industrial schools that are trying to fit
us to be intelligent workmen; the
heroic efforts our leaders are making,
sacrificing their time, money and even
life, are not potent enough to stay the
perniciOus narrOwness and prejudice.
am not yet convinced that all the
South has taken this view of the
matter and may and many would de-
sist should they do so. 1t it is really
intended to deny us manhood and life
we should awake to the fact and face
it like men. Awake all the country to
the issues involved.
We are apt to wait, to long and hope
against hope. 'It is natural for man
to indulge in the fond Illusion of Hope
and listen to the song Of that siren till
she transforms him into BEAST We
invoke the conservative South to call
a halt, failing in that, we invoke the
aid of the conservative Senate Our
people IN all the Northern states must
be shown the issues involved-they
must be reminded of their strength at
the polls and directed to use it in their
defense.E
Respectfully.

FASHIONABLE STATIONERY.

The etiquette of invitations and an
nouncements is most important to
those who aim to be correct in social
matters. Among the invitations usual
ly given are those for weddings, re-
ceptlons, breakfasts, luncheons, dinner
parties, and at homes, and there are
also announcements of marriage and
birth, and even notifications of death
The cards used for these purposes must
conform to the latest and most ap-
proved style both as, to form and to
lettering. A display Of fashionable
forms of invitations and announce

ISSUES INVOLVED"
Editor Of Colored American:

Editor OF COlOred American:
Dear Sir:-Kin6Iy allow me space
in your paper to say few words anent
the Crum appointment, at Charleston
BY the Associated Press dispatches I
see that the President wishes the re-
port of the Commerce Committee to the
confirmation of DR.. Crum as Collector
of the Port at Charleston. taken up by
the Senate. This is vitality necessary
because of the issues this affair has
brought into the foreground.
First, the IndianOla incident and the
nomination of Dr. Crum and conse-
Quent discussion thereof, called forth
a timely editorial from the New York
Tribune, in which it stated plainly one
OF the issues at stake, namely the Fed
eral governments right to conduct it's
own affairs in any part of the country
without consent of local authority.
This issue goes at once to the center of
the governments existence. The first
law of nature, self-preSerVation. de-
mands that this be unequivocally set
tied.
Second, the Presidents manly, cour-
a%eOus and christian letter to the gen
tleman of Charleston brought to focus
the second paramount issue in this dis
cussiOn, namely, the Negroes right to
aspire 10 true MANHOOD, TO real Amer
lean citizenship. The door of hope
should not be shut upan any man of
character and ability, be his external
appearance what it may. This issue
involves all in life that's worth strug-
cling or living for. If men are not al
lowed to hone and aspire, if they are
not regarded for their real worth life
Is delusiOn and christianity a hollow
mOckerY
The Mayor of Charleston and a
Senator from South Carolina, in OPP
posing the confirmation of Dr. Crum
strike at our races Palladium, at our
races Vitality. The press of the South
who assist them are engaged in the
same destructive work I'm sure some
OF them would call halt if they view
Ell the situation in this light
Third, it is remarkable that both
these pregnant issues, the Federal gov
ernments right to transact It's affairs
untrammeled. and the Negroes right to
aspire TO real manhood, are being dis
PuJed on South Carolina soil: more
over. another vital issue is in dispute

ously In the advocacy of these issues.
