ing the leading Christian nation
in the world. She boasts of be-
ing the most enlightened nation
on the face of the globe. Is it
not strange that the white man
would seek constant cohabitotion
with Negro women thereby pro-
ducing a mongrel class, which
has increased from the time of
the emancipation from 900, 900 to
something like four millions at
present, and yet stands ready to
kill these very offsprings be-
cause they have the blood of
their mothers in them as though
the children were responsible for
the blood of either of the par

Even Improving in Color

1t took two trials of the lower
court and one of the supreme
court of the state of Louisiana,
with the final decision still under
advisement, to determine Wheth-
er two young women were white
or black girls and it was their
whiteness as we'll as their black
ness that caused the trouble,
they being too white to be black
and too black to be white. Ii
the brunette complexion, which
they possessed. came from the
cohabitation of a white man and
an Indian woman than the
whites with whom the girls had
been associating were spared a
great humiliation, but, if the
brunette complexion was due to
the miscegenation of a white
man and a Negro woman then
the good God forgive us. OW-
ing to the dark complexion of
the girls they were forced by
railroad conductor to ride in a
coach set apart for Negroes.
The girls rebelled and finally left
the train and in attempting to
reach their homes got lost in the
swamps. Their father began
damage actions against the rail-
road company, which resulted
first in a mistrial and secondly
in judgment for the defendant.
The case was taken up to the
supreme court where the girls
were put on exhibition for the
purpose of Identification. There
probably is recorded no bigger
piece of nonsense in the history
of the world. Those white men
are exhausting the legal energy
of the whole state to tear down
their own flesh and blood. There
are multiplied thousands of such
cases all over the South and yet
the United States boasts of be

of the gospel. 1t is estimated
that they have contributed, di-
rectly and indirectly, since eman-
cipation over $7O,OOO,O00 toward
their own education. Difficult
as was the situation in which the
Negro found himself directly af-
ter the emancipation educated
teachers devoted their lives to
improving the condition of their
people.
| venture to repeat that never
in the history of the world have
people in similar stages of civil
zation made such rapid progress
as the Negro people in the Uni
ted States.

The Negro

Let us give to the "black man"
a chance,
He's doing the best that he
can,
Has already made rapid advance,
All early predictions outran.
The good Lord who made us,
made him too,
His soul is akin to our own,
He can be just as faithful and
true,
And differs in color, alone.
He has feelings as tender as ours,
His hopes and his aims are the
same,
Is endowed with the same men
tai powers,
Aspires to both fortune and
fame;
Is as quite law abiding as we,
And seeking a chance to i'm
prove,
While he glories in knowing he's
free,
And trying to higher things
move.
He was manacled, beaten, and
dashed,
The "slave drivers heel" on
his neck,
At the "slave market bid off
and "cashed'
No wonder his mind was a
wreck.
But the sword of fair Justice I'M
sheathed,
Cleaved letters that bound him
in twain;
And the glad air of freedom he
breathed
When Liberty severed hls
chain.
All he asks is to give him a

This is talking from Seattle
stand point, but what is true of
Seattle is true of every other
city in the country.
That you may get some idea of
how far removed the black folk
has gotten from the dingy alley
quarters they so long occupied
the homes of four Negroes in
Seattle all of different walks of
life are herewith presented and
may be taken as fair sample of
what the entire people is doing
in this particular.
Perhaps to quote from DIR.
Booker T. Washington himself
on the subject of Negro pro-
gress might be of interest to the
reader:
In 1918, four years hence, the
Negroes will celebrate-in some
form or another-the fftieth an
niversary of the signing of the
emancipation proclamation in
1863. Great as have been the
changes in the world since that
date, | venture to say that no
portion of the population has
passed through greater changes
or made greater progress than
the Negro.
| can perhaps best suggest the
progress which the Negro has
made if | recall the fact that
there are still living at Mobile,
Ala, remnants of the African
tribe who were brought over on
the last slave ships, and that
among those people and their de-
scendants there are numbers
who still speak the African dia-
lect and retain a vivid memory
of the life in the African bush.
In the meantime the Negro
race has produced a number OF
men who have made a lasting
impression upon the history OF
this country. Among them |
might call the name of Paul
Lawrence Dunbar a Negro poet,
who has gained a prominent
place in American literature;
Henry O. Tanner, whose paint
ings have gained international
fame and placed in the galleries
of the Gutenberg, in Paris,
France.
mention these men because
nv their unexceptional talents
and opportunities they have sue
ceeded in gaining the recognl-
tion of the world. l believe |
could mention hundreds OF 9TH
ers-physicians, lawyers, school
men, writer's - who are less
known to the world but deserve
the equal praise of the world and
of their country.
These unexceptional men and
the people of the African colo
MES at Mobile still cling to the
memories and traditions of their
savage life in Africa, and may
be said to represent the limits,
the boundaries, of Negro pro-
gress during the last half CEN
fury.
What progress has the masses
of the Negro people who may be
said to be between these limits
made? First of all, nearly COL
per cent. of them have learned
to read and write the English
language. More than 30, OO1 OF
them are teachers in the public
schools and colleges of their own
people.
They have become owners, as
nearly as | have been able to es-
innate, of $500, 100000 of prop
