The Lid on colored Prooress'

ITO the Editor OF The Times;-l
would much rather the 'niggers
would organize separate association
by themselves" Is the exact remark
made by one Of the high-up officials OF
the Detroit Young Mems Christian as
sociation To white friend OF colored
people short time ago.
This spirit OF opposition. OF segre-
CATION. OF repression. of meanness and
antiassimilation which is expressed
In the sentence quoted from an officer
OF what Is supposed to be the city's
most liberal organization, and who Is
also gentleman holding high and
enviable position as citizen and bus
mess man. gives strong emphasis TO
the unseemly antagonism to colored
Americans which Is becoming more
and more manifest throughout the ma.
ton, with very few possible excep-
tions.
What does IL all mean, And where
will IL end?
Detroit has been, heretofore. one OF
the most liberal communities In its
treatment Of coiored Americans I'm
the country, but since Tillman lectur-
ed here few years ago. change
seems 10 have overtaken It's erstwhile
liberal citizens.
Prejudiced white southerners, who
have not accepted the results of the
civil war in good faith. have moved
here in large numbers andrh have spread
the poison OF race hatred with amaz-
ing rapidity and the best educated and
most cultivated white folk seem as
susceptible TO the baneful influence as
the most ignorant and debased.
The fight started on the colored
walters when they lost the Pontchar-
train hotel. and several places have
been closed TO them since. And now
a determined fight against the colored
musicians has been inaugurated. with
| the result that the colored men lost
their employment at the Penobscot
| Inn this week. And now II Is said that
white men will displace colored at the
f! Cadillac hotel.
II cannot be said that II Is the VIC
ious or criminal Negro who has
| brought about this change for. while
| Detroit has a sufficient number of
these, the large mass OF colored peo-
pie have made great progress In both
material, as we'll as mental develop
ment. AS matter of fact. the prog.
ress of the colored people seems 70
have excited greater hostility on the
part OF the white people. Never be-
fore were SO many splendid homes
owned by colored people. some of them
in aristocratic neighborhoods. Detroit
has a dozen successful colored law
yers. a half dozen successful colored
physicians. several successful colored
real estate men and dozens Of success
full business men, inventors. high
| class clerks and accountants. In fact
they have made good all along the
line of human endeavor and II was a
| fact commented upon that goodly
number OF colored people figured as
creditors In the big failure OF Gamer
on Currie & Co., stock dealers.
But why oppose colored people fol
being successful In life? Do the
white people OF Detroit and the coun

Now. dear editor. ] feel In my heart

try to say few words In regards to
the American flag and the red flag.
There Is no question about II that

Country. 'Tis OF Thee" My fathers
birthplace is in Russia and he only
came here six years ago. When he
came home last January with his
citizen papers. he was very proud to
become a citizen OF the United States.
So that is a sign he is proud OF our
American flag.
Now In regard to the red flag. I
can tell you this much: My father
told me that the red flag meant soil
darity and brotherhood and righteous
ness for the world There Ia no differ
ence between color and race or ma
tionality That every human being
has the right to enjoy what the world
produces. But II is not so In the pres

work can enjoy these things. But the
people that produce the things haven't
| the privilege to enjoy them.
And father also told me that the
red flag meant to do away with war
and bloodshed. So. according to my
opinion. can see no harm In the red
