The Negro in Society.

Gertrude M. Elan, in The w. U. Uplift.)
There is not a more interesting
nor more difficult problem con-
fronting the people, than is the
one of to-day. "The position of
the Negro in Society,"" is being
discussed widely by men and
women interested in the welfare
of all beings.
First. what position does the
Negro hold in society? The an
swer would be not any. Is it be-
canse he is not educated orrehned
or is it simply because he is a Ne
gro? Negroes are like all others
in heart and brain although they
have to surmount more obstacles.
Take for instance the Negro girl,
the daughter of misfortune, she
has to endure more hardships and
suffer more insults than any other
girl.
Why is it? Because of prejn-
dice. The men of her own race.
knowing that the elevation Of the
race can come only through the
elevation of its women, take part
in saying that all Negro girls are
alike. Of course we were all created
equal, but the character of one
girl may be as different from that
of another as day is from night.
Hence, character is the most inn
portant part after all. So when
you see girl of good character,
consider her a precious jewel in
the uplifting of the race.
Why was it that Alice Roose-
welt, the Presidents daughter, had

so much prominence given to her
in her marriage to Nicholas Long
worth, so much that she has been
the recipient of showers of gifts
of the greatest governments! 1t
was her charaCter-her pure lite,
her sweet disposition. Her lady
like dignity and graceful indePen-
dence won over in kindest friend
ship the Empress of China, a
thing never before heard of. What
did it? Wealth nor beauty, nor
color did it. Education alone nor
fine clothes did it. But the Char
acter of a remarkable daughter of
a remarkable father was the secret.
Do you think that Rockefeller's
or Carnegie's daughter backed up
bv their vast wealth could win the
esteem of the American people
and the tokens of friendship from
the royalty of other nations as
did this ordinary looking young
lady? No, thousand times, no!
The colored girl has a great oP-
portunity in this nation. Just as
Alice Roosevelt has captured the
hearts of nations by means of her
character and inward noble accom-
plishments, in a like manner the
ideal of the American Negro girl
should be to win the hearts of the
world; not by wealth or beauty,
The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1906-05-11

not by color or fine clothes. nor a
high-headed, naughty education,
but by true womanhood, pure life,
prudence, modesty and adapting
herself to all conditions and SER
vice, in the hospital, in the home,
in the Office, in the school-room,
at the church, in the lodge, where
ever she may be-always and
everywhere a true lady, a minister
ing angel of love and usefulness.
She will find the world bowing on
the footstool at her shrine and all
men will rise up to call her
blessed.
Young girls, do not think be-
cause one girl performs on the
piano, another manipulates on the
type writer or dresses finer than
you, that she is above you, for all
these things without character are
of no value to her. Even though
you toll in the laundry or cook in
the kitchen the former girl should
not be encouraged any more than
the latter. Say that economy and
character and honest labor are the
three main stones in the uplifting
of the race.
Young men, when you see a
young girl possessed cfthese three
necessary things for success inlife,
throw around her that chivalry of
honor and protection which shall
cause the recognition and respect |
Of all the world.
Young men and women be true,
upright and honest, not only with |
yourselves but with every one else,
and in doing SO be protected from

The only objedtion the colored
Christian may have to the Catholic
church is a restaiction that the
church may place upon his shout
ing proclivities. The colored Pro-
testant Christian likes to shout. If
he enters the Catholic church this
privilege will be taken from him.
If, however; the church offers pro-
lection to his body, it would seem
that he would be willing to let
shouting alone and pray in silence
and conform TO the rules govern
ING that church. What the color
ed man wants today is not only
religious freedom and protection,
but civil and political freedom~and
protection. The white Baptists, the
white Alethodists and the white
Presbyterians don't care to asso-
ciate with their religiour sisters and
and brothers. Just what kind of
religion this is, The Bee is unable
to state, 1t is not so much Of asso-
citation as it is to allow the colored
brother to sing and pray with them.
The white Baptist doesn't care
to pray with his colorcd brother
and sister and so it is with the
white Methodist and Presbyterian.
The white Catholics are very chari
table toward their colored Catholics
and they treat them as human be
ings and not as cattle. There should
be 10 discrimination in religious
worship. Why should there be?
The colored churchman should
think for himself He should wor-
ship with those who are Christians
in deed and in fact.-BEE.
