We trust any honest person for Dia-

house, lot, or anything that aocumulates
value for them, We treat our customers
right make the terms easy and give
them good value for their money. Under
these circumstances it is perfectly safe

Spirit of the Press
Tie Ostracism of the Negro at tie
North.
Norfolk Pilot Virginian

MOI IOlh ii'il-
The incident Of the playing of the
negro Matthews in the game of foot
ball between Yale and Harvard on
Yale field last Saturday may seem
trivial. but it is very far from trivial
1t involves an issue that in the next
decade or so vii. of necessity engage
the attention of the American people
as no other issue mas since 1860.
That issue is this: Shall the line be
definitely and finally drawn between
the negro and the white MAJ in this
country; shall the people of the North
come around to the way of thinking
to which the South has been forced
by the unyielding barriers of circum-
stances.
The incident at Yale clearly indi-
Gates that the North is coming around
to the South's way of thinking as re-
CARDS the race question. Coach
Wrightington, in the face of protest
from the head coach of Yale, Walter
Camp, insisted upon putting the ne
gro into the Harvard line against
Yale's protest. The result was that
every man on the Yale team felt that
he had been insulted and after a few
minutes play the negro was more a
mass of bruised and pummeled flesh
than he was a football player. In
short, the gentlemen who composed
the Yale team refused first in words
and then in deeds TO be pitted against
a negro. and it will be recalled that
the same thing happened when Dart
mouth played Princeton. In that case
Dartmouth's negro was put out of
business with promptitude and pre-
cision.
The summing up of this whole bust
ness is that the young white men of
the North who believe in the code of
the gentleman, who do not care to
associate with their Interiors who
look upon things with level eyes, and
from horizons where the worn out
prejudices no longer linger, have made
up their minds that the negro is not
their equal. that the things that are
for them are not for him and that
they viii. not sand for the pseudo
sympathy in their elders that has at
tempted TO make the negro their
equal.
This is distinctly a comforting phase
of the situation. The young men in
the colleges of today are young men
in the affairs of tomorrow. and say
what you will, the young men in the
colleges of today, North and South
are the young men who will tomorrow
dictate the country's policy and shape
its destiny. And there could be no
better indication that those destinies
will be such that all of us may be
proud fthem, when that one leading
University of the country should have
drawn the line definitely and finally
upon the negro. And the parents who
nave sons tC educate should not forget
tnat Yale stands for the white man
and Harvard stands for the negro. A
distinction that needs not to De en-
iarged upon.
