But teach high thought and amiable words
And courtliness and the desire of fame,
And love of truth, and all that makes a

Is it not a terrible thing that be-
cause President Roosevelt believes in
fair play, and stands ready to back
up an officer of this government albeit
she is an Afro-American, he should be
condemned? Is it not a terrible thing
to think of, that Mrs. Minnie Cox was
compelled to resign her position of
postmistress at Indianola, Miss, be-
cause she is an Afro-American?
These prejudiced people would not OBJ
ject to her sticking her hands in some
dough and handing them out some
biscuits, but to stick her hands into
a mail bag and hand them out some
letters is quite another thing.
President Roosevelt is all right in

that the old rebel spirit still lives
