Some negroes are now immoral,
many, almost all, were for some
time after they were freed. But
where did it originate? Again the
blame is on the whites. During
slavery the temptation of the white
masters to abuse the power they
held over those who could not and
dared not resent any crime against
them and the gratifying of baser
appetite brought on this terrible i'm
morality among the blacks. Let
the whites allow the negro two hun
dred and fifty years to wear off the
marks of slavery endured for the
same length of time, and at the
same time be as ardent in elevating
him as they were in degrading him
then judge him as to moral good
ness.

The Negro is not merely an imi-
tator, but he has shown that he
possesses inventive genius. There
have been hundreds of things in
vented by him not mere changes in
somebody else s work but his orig
inal work.
He has shown his ability to give
as well as receive knowledge; he
has displayed his ability in the
field of authorship and he has in
every way proved a capacity for
entering every occupation, equal to
that of the white man. Therefore
the Negro is not failure.

The first colored girl to be en-
ployed in the government bureau
of engraving and printing was ap-
pointed under President Harrison
about seventeen years ago. To-
day more than 200 colored girls are
employed in that bureau. The
number of Negroes holding gov
ernment jobs in Washington in
1892 was 1897. In 1907 there
were 2,7S5 of them. That is an
increase of just about 163 per cent
In the same period the increase in
the number of white employees in
Washington was only about 9 per
cent. The number of Negroes
taking the civil service examina-
tions is constantly increasing.
Comparatively well educated Ne
groes are perfectly willing, indeed
glad, to take minor clerkships un.
der the government, places which
do not appeal to white men of abil-
ity for the simple reason that the
white man can do better. The
consequence is that the most cap
able of the Negroes compete with
whites of at best only mediocre
ability. Naturally the colored
man often comes out ahead in the
examination, and when that hap
pens there is nothing to prevent
his getting the appointment. In
Washington one government en-
ploye in every nine is colored, and
the proportion is constantly grow
ing larger

third were Negroes Compared
with the total number of Negro
inhabitants in Washington, this
shows a continued increase in the
death rate in the colored race, and
is very much greater than that of
the white race Now what occas-
ions this large death rate among
Negroes of Washington? Why,
because thousands of them are
poorly housed, poorly fed and
poorly clothed. Thousands of the
race there barely exc out an exis-
tence, and yet they prefer to re-
main in Washington, only to meet
death by consumption and other
diseases that result from improper
living than to leave that city and
go out into the states, out into the
country, and live a simple health
full life surrounded by those COM
forts ard fed on wholesome food
which their own hands can make
and produce. At the rapid rate
Negroes are dying off in Washing
ton because of unwholsome living,
serious problem confronts the
race in that city. The Negro
death rate in Washington, COM
pairing the white and black popu-
lation, is rapidly reaching that
point where it will be so per cent
greater than the white death rate.

but no work; he is told to move on.
"He is a bad white man who will
not help his black neighbor when
that black man shows the spirit to
help himself. No person can hold
another in a ditch without remain
ing there with him" So it is as
advantageous for the white man to
help elevate the Negro as it is his
duty to fellow-citizen. When the
white man helps the negro it is not
a case of "all going out and moth
ing coming in" Surely this coun-
try. for which he has toiled, fought
and died owes him a living if he
desires to make one.
All citizens, if orderly and re
spectacle have right to be served
in all public places and in a cour-
teous manner, and yet there exists
in most all places discrimination in
hotels. soda fountains, restaurants
and such places, on account OF race
and color What reason does the
white man give for such treat
ment? He will say they are dis
orderly Are there no respectable,
law abiding people of the colored
race? Are there no low disorderly
white people. Alas! the entire
Negro race must suffer for crime
or wrong of one of its members.
All colored people are held as be-
longing to the same class crime
one would commit so would all the
rest. Now the whites should show
the Negro that if he respects
himself he will be respected. By
this discrimination the white man
should not make him feel that he
is subject of hatred and strife
and that he is handicapped at ev-
erv effort to rise from the low
depths in which he is plunged. Re-
spect the right, white citizen, that
the black man has as a citizen. The
constitution that gave the white
man his rights granted the same
ones to the Negro. The whites de-
mand that their rights must be re-
spected and they in return should
respect the same of other people.
Everyone knows the important

How many people ever think as

81 ms to be species of monkey, a
degeneration beside the white man.
True. the Negro has faults and
traits that are to be condemned,
but how could he have risen, IN
forty years, from the demorallz-
ing effects of almost two hundred
and fifty years of slavery. You will
doubtless say slavery nevertheless
gave him arts of civilized life. Well
if it did it also denied him the
greatest blessing he might have
had, the product of his labor ;
therefore he had no incentive to
labor at these arts and make the
most of them. Now, my reader,
looking at the depths from which
the Negro has risen to such present
positions as he now holds, let me
show YOU that according to his adj
yancement in every line of art, he
is treated unjustly by the white
man.
How does the Negro fare in the
field of labor? Because of the la
Dor unions skilled laborer can not

pecially true in the north where
Negro population is not dense
enough to support their own peo-
pie. If the same chance to earn
a living as his white neighbor he
would be far more desirable citl

the black man has the same ca
