there are many white writer's that
we cannot agree with. There

FIELD FOR WOMEN As UNDER
TAKERS.
BY oliver W. Curtis.
New York Oct. Z. 1906.

New York. Oct. Z, 1906.
Believing that there is splendid
opportunity in the ranks Of embalm
ers and that their services will be
appreciated by undertakers, l would
like to suggest to the Industrious
educated young lady to consider this
profession.
In my experience | have realized
that women are needed in this pro-
fession, and have counselled many to
enter it. The work of a lady en-
balmer is mostly confined to embalm-
ing women and children and some
times called. upon to complete de-
tails at the home prior to the funeral
of male person. 1t Is not only the
place of the woman undertaken to
prepare the body for the grave, but
to extend such sympathy as she can
to the AFFLICTED ones.
In an interview with Mrs. Francis
A. Classy. of Brooklyn, N. Y, who
secured the first license to do en-
balming issued by the New York State
spends to calls at all hours of the day
or night and some Of the most i'm
portant funerals in the city have been
under her charge. Not only prepar-
ing the body for the casket but at
tends to every detail pertaining to
the funeral Her daughter also is a
graduate embalmer. Nearly all of
the women who have worked for any
time as embalmers agree that it is
a great field for their sex and there
is little chance Of it being over
crowded. Those who are already in
it complain that they are over
worned Although the remuneration
is good, and that an addition to their
rank would be appreciated.
I believe it is a splendid avenue for
the educated Negro of the female
sex heretofore unemployed.

THE NEGRO AND PUBLIC SENTi.
MENT,

But the first and essential condi.
tion of progress toward a solution
is the recognition that the existing
law must be obeyed by whites no less
than by Che lSacks. The rights,
guaranteed to the negro should be
fully and vigorously protected by the
governments OF the South, the mob
rule and mob Justice" should be
suppressed at any cost. From the
standpoint of law and order this Is
neither white mans nor a black
mans country, but a country in which
every citizen has his legal rights
and duties determined by organic
and statutory law and in which arbi-
tary Determinations based on race
or color are unknown to courts of
justice an executive officials.
The above is part of an editorial
that was published recently in the
Chicago Record-Herald. and we con.
cur in what it expresses. We do not
ask for any special laws all we
want is the present laws enforced in
every state in the union. and let the
court say what the punishment must
be for criminal and not mob that
is led by some infuriated hoodlum
and if every officer would uphold the
oath that he takes when he assumes
his Office. there would not be so much
cruel punishment for our race in
this country.
