acy." 1 have always heard of Mr..
Page as man possessed of the true in
stincts of a gentleman. And while it
can in no way affect the general no
ton of him in this respect, it would
give me exceeding great pain to be
moved to regard him in any other
light. If Mr.. Page, or any other white
man, is my superior, it is because they
measure closer to the requirements
which make for the true gentleman
than l do. Fudge on color! Suppose,
for a moment, 1 should find Mr.. Page
suffering from the pangs of hunger
and thirst and should succor him from
my store, does any one imagine that
before he would consent to partake
of it he would consult his notes on
lynchings or any triple-hammer dis
QUESTION on the evils of social equal
ity? l guess not. 1t makes all the
difference in the world what section
of the patch the melon is found. Mr..
Page is a splendid writer of a certain
sort of fiction, but as an adjustor of
differences, Instructive or otherwise,
between men and colors of men he is
a. monumental failure.
Every day it becomes more and more
apparent that the intelligence of the
race must take it's seat in the front
pews of our affairs. There is no help
for it. Oratory must give way to
sense. When 1 speak of oratory in
this connection 1 refer to the heart
burning impulse which moves men
and women to lay their lives on the
altar of race sacrifice by word of mouth
rather than by strength of mind. In
these times when it is the prevailing
fashion to belittle our every effort
to attain the full measure of the best
citizenship there is no way out Of the
trouble but by the exercise Of our best
common sense and ability. 1t very
often happens that the average" ora
tor posses neither. His mission is sim
ply to talk. His soul is usually con-
sumed with the fire that keep him
out of harms way and from under
the burden of solid responsi bilities
It is out of this kind of timber we
have produced our Charlotte Cordays
and our Oliver Cromwells. Martyrs
who have always put safe distances be-
tween themselves and the smell of
powder and the sight of blood but who
clamored wildly for both. l insist that
in the campaign of this year only the
best equipped speakers of the race be
used in the big centers of influence.
In this relation I am reminded of an
utterance made by the late ex-Presi-
dent Rutherford B. Hayes in the
course of an address delivered to the
students of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, some years ago. He declared
at the time that the trustees of the
Slater Fund were very anxious to find
young co1ored men who could be sent
abroad for two or three years to get
the benefit of study in some one of the
great European universities, but that
tbev had ONLY been able to find orators

In some sections of the country the

They have a peculiar way of doing
things up in Des Moines, Ia. In
musical contest recently held in that
city, open to certain grade of school
children, the prize was won by Mar
garet Fields, 13-year-old colored girl.
When the committee learned that Miss
Fields had won the first prize, it de-
cided that the contest was not open to
,olored people, ruled Miss Fields out
and gave the prize to one of lighter
hue Great work for the solons of
Iowa.
The meanest man is the ungrateful
man; the man who is helped when he
needs help and turns traitor at the
frst oportunity. A certain man who
held position in the departments for
many years in this city, was dropped
because of neglect of duty and went al
most to the cutters The writer OF this
article gave him employment and put
him on his feet again, as it were,
when he fell back to his old habits
and could no longer be used. This
;ame man is now contributing to the
columns of local newspapers in Mass,
w. Va, and Indiana and never loses
an opportunity to sting his benefac-
or Ingratitude is indeed the basest
If all sins.

The Thing IN Mind

Social equality be hangedi Recent
ly my attention was called to an in
cident that occurred in a large west
ern city which demonstrates that col
ored people are not seeking and do
not desire social equality with whites
colOred family are next door neigh
bors. A child of the white family
was stricken with a serious illness.
The white neighbors in dread of con-
tagion, held themselves in fearing
aloofness from the afflicted home. Not
so with the colored neighbor. The
colored woman responded to the first
call of the white mother and it was
afterward declared by the physician
in charge of the case, that it was
through the sensible Offices of the col
ored woman that the child's life was
saved. But the most interesting point
in question is the efforts which were
put forth by the white woman-either
in a spirit of gratefulness or otherwise,
it doesn't matter which-to establish
social relations between her family
and the colored neighbors. She met
with signal failure for the very curl
Gus reason that the colored woman did
not regard the white woman's social
relations of good enough character TO
Justify the intercourse. The colored
woman's action in responding to the
call for help in the hour Of affiiction
was prompted by the humane and not
the social impulse She is reported
to have said: L would throw any
hungry dog bone and why shouldn't
[ respond to the sad cry of mother
in the hour of sickness. be she black or
white? But when it comes to meeting
people on terms of social intimacy l
always draw the line. I have my own
notions of who is who and don't care
what their color is.'

It is our work to minimize the effect
of the color line programme of Senator
Gorman-he of the African cast of
face. President Roosevelt must not
be made to stand, in any degree, for
the social equality bugbear. 1t is not
fair to make him responsible for an
attitude he does not assume and on
which he put no particular value. Our
role in this social equality drama must
be made to stand out clearly defined.
We don't want social equality because
it is not worth all they would have
us think it is worth. A great many
eolored people have the good sense to
see this, few, perhaps, do not. Those
who do not get it for the asking and
make the best of good, bad and in
different bargain. But the white peo-
pie of the country must be appraised
Of the fact, if they do not already
know it, that we are building UP
splendid social conditions among our
selves where the motive of good liv-
ing is the dominant impulse, and
where the beauty, love and strength of
faith are the dominant notes. Social
equality be hanged!
"The Judge"
The colored American., 1904-02-06

In other words this sensible colored
woman does not believe that white
person is any better than any other
color of person simply because they
are white And yet that is the ch1ef
reason why Senator German, he of
the African cast of face, would take
away the high privilege of voting from
the colored man who has the fortune
good and bad, to live in the sovereign
state of Maryland. Loyalty to the
flag, the Willingness to sacr1hce lie
on the altar of the country's perlls
has no value in the eyes Of this scion
of splendid origin and untarnlshed
fame.

And now it is Thomas Nelson Page
who is lending his brilliant talents to
the color-prejudice crusade. In the
current number of the North American
Review he is at special pains to de-
clare that rape is the chief crime for
which Negroes are lynched in the
South. The odd feature about the arti-
Gle is that he quotes figures to estab-
lish his contention which belle his
statements. Nearly two hundred
cases of 1ynching are reported by his
