more time in Congress during the past few

hood TO be granted to the four territories
above mentioned, and after careful con

in the discussions OF the question, re-
commend that they bc Immediately ad

bility of making the four territories int
two states has been clearly established.

years, about election time, when for
few days only we are made to feel
how necessary it is for us to be in the
community and how important it is
for us to interfere in politics-better
known as white folks business.
This condition should have rene

quain!ed with our neighbors, there
should be pleasant greetings ex-
changed when we meet; there should
be cultivated broader feeling of
friendship between the races to the
end that we may have better under
standing upon all things which con-
cern the welfare of both races who Of
necessity must dwell here in peace.
This organization should take the ini-
tiative in trying to do something
along this line. 1t might be well TO
occasionly invite some Of the best
thinkers from the white people to Wis
it the Forum and discuss with us or
for us questions which will be eleva-
ting 20 US and which may bring about
closer friendship. This can be done
without fear of transcending the line
into the realm of social equality. 1t
is not social equality for US to reason
together, it is not social equality for
both races to read the same books, to
listen to the same music, to shiver in
the same cold, to warm in the same
sun, to love the same country and de-
fend the same flag The time in our
social lives when we must do some
thing or much to decide many impor-
tant questions which confront us, and
