WHY?

Go where you may, North, South, East,
West and prejudice keeps the Negro to
great extent out of the mechanical trades.
Why? It is a prejudice born Of the white
man, who is ever reluctant to own that he is
his brothers. keeper; ever reluctant to sub
scribe to the twin doctrine of the Father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man,
if that brother is clothed in black and of
African Descent even in past. Brought here,
against his will, as slave, the Negro has
gradually been assimilated into American
civilization customs and habits until today
he he potent factor in the very makeup
of our civilization. His bringing to America
is cOntemporaneOus with the first permanent
English settlement. His tradehood and
sturdy nature-God- given qualities added
much to the cleaning up of the primeval for
ests Of the Appalachian slopes In times Of
war he has rallied always around the coun-
try's flag whether that flag was unfured
in the cannon mouth at Bunker Hill, New
Orleans, Chapultepec, AppomattoX or San
Juan Hill and yet the right and privilege
for him to earn an honest livelihood by the
sweat of his brow, in the mechanical trades
is denied him by his brother in white.
The Indian who has never been assimil-
ated into our civilization, aborignee though
he be, is given more consideration than the
Negro. The scum of the Latin races of Eu-
rope are better treated on American soil
than the faithful uncomplaining Negro The
'yellow peril" of the Orient, when once in
America is Of more consideration than the
Negro
The country has once been solemnly warn
ed by the injustice done the Negro. The
day may come when men who recognize Ne
gro worth, may rise in their might against
this persecution and demand the why !-Ex-
change

Rev. F. L. Whaton's suggestion for pub

the public ear that the suggestion ripened
into public meeting last Monday which de-

Monday at high noon. How public sentiment
has changed Had similar suggestion been
made two years ago the suggestion would
have been ridiculed to such an extent that
he would have felt ashamed of it. The Re

were elected see no reason why they cannot
stand up and be counted as we'll as be brand

Hettx Green's the Limit.

Hetty Green, the worlds richest
woman, is a homeless wandered. She
dare not take up her abode anywhere
for fear of the tax collector Hunted
by the man with the tax list, she left
her home in the metropolis and took
up her residence in Hoboken, N. j.
There her quiet and frugal mode Of
living was interrupted by the local tax
office bloodhounds. who again got on
her track, and she fed to the rural
peace of Bellows Falls, Vt. In that
place all went happily until the tax
officers recently raised the valuation
on her place from $4,000 to $4,000.
This Mrs. Green viewed with horror,
and again it is announced that she has
given up her home and fed. This is
another instance of the fact that the
life of the frugal New York million
aire is not all beer and skittles No
matter to what rural wilderness he
withdraws himself the Shylocks of the
tax Office find him. And they seem to
insist upon treating him like any or
binary mortal subject Of taxation and
