WATCH AND PRAY

Our people have more real cause
to do actual watching and praying
than any other race, for it does
seem that all nations on earth are
combined against the Afro Ameri-
cans. Why this should be so, none
save the God of Heaven knows.
The white press of the country,
with few exceptions, invariably
holds the entire Negro race respon-
sible for the shortcomings and
evil deeos done by the thriftness
and thoughtless element of the
race; when to tell the truth, the
Negro who does the devilment is
one who doesn't read, in many
cases totally illiterate; in short, we
cannot reach him either by the
press nor the pulpit. This is a
problem to be solved. We trust
that some method may be put in
force, by which this class of our
people can be reached. If they
will not be induced by persuasion
to places of enlightment, to read
instructions of the best Negro
Journals, then some method by
force, ought to be put into opera.

A TRIBUTE
TO NEGROES
From the Pen of Mr.. Merritt Moore, who Believes in JUS
tice and Fair Play to all. Says the Social Equal
y Problem will Take Care of ITSELF

In high tribute to Negroes of
Denver Mr.. Merritt Moore had the
following to say in recent issue
of the Rocky Mountain News:
am glad to believe that every
Il ne American citizen believes
down deep in his heart in justice
and fair play This applies to all
classes of citizens. and to every
nationality
During the past two months L
have been in close touch with the
colored people of Dever have met
them in their homes and on the
street, have attended several of
their churches, have met them in
conference where questions OF So
cial, civic, state and national in
teres were involved: have met sew
eral of their professional men, law
yers, doctors, poets and lecturers,
graduates of colleges, writer's of
ability and the like-and l can
honestly say they have acquitted
themselves in the main as we'll as
any like number of white people
would have done.
That they are handicapped be-
cause of the cruel and senseless
prejudice against color goes with
out saying, and yet, in spite of
this drawback, their achievements
are really remarkable. With
scarcely a dollar to begin with
forty years ago, they are credited
with having accumulated not less
than s3OO,OOO,OOO worth Of prop

their credit. not one was arrested

sympathetic acquaintance between
the races is not only just and right,
but that it is in every way desir-

sane standard by which we can
discriminate between the worthy
and the unworthy. The color of
the skin does not determine the
character, and therefore is not a
safe guide to follow. A sober, in

best to earn an honest living, and
is trying to add to his store oi

encouragement, and the man who
