John w; amaker is another: Robert Ogden
is another. This traitor to the white race,
Ogden, not only eats with the negroes him
self, but he compels his white clerks, male and
female, to eat with his negro clerks when the
luncheon hour is reached.
Now, when such cranlzs as these make a
speciality of pampering and petting and brag
ging on the negro, race prejudice is intensified
and, of course, the consequence of this is bad
for the negro. He is here on suferance: he is
in our power, and if such men as Carnegie,
Wanamaker and Ogden would let us alone,
we could get along with him all right. He is
an inferior human being: is not any more
our brother than the apes are, and we don't
intend that he shall ever live on footing of
equality with us. That might as we'll be I'M
derstood. The Brotherhood of God" does not
put every created being on the same racial
level.
These Northern cranks don't understand
the Southern situation; and the more they
NEEDLE a0ith 1t, the eoorse 1t Is for the negro.

The Fool Friends of the Negro DO
Him Enormous Injury

When multi-millonaire like Andrew
Carnegie gives to the world a statement to the
effect that the negroes of today are more civ
ilized than were his own ancestors of two
hundred years ago, his purpose is no doubt, to
encourage the Afro Americans and to give
the white people a kindlier feeling for them
Ii Mr.. Carnegie had any real knowledge of
human nature, and any real information con-
corning the condition of his Scottish ancestry
two hundred years ago, he would realize that
his statement concerning the American negro
is not only an absurd falsehood, but that it is
harmful to the negroes themselves.
In the Jefers0miam Magazine for February,
it is my intention to describe the social, in
dustrial and political condition of Scotland
four hundred years ago; and to establish by
unquestionable evidence the ridiculous un-
truthfuzness of the Carnegie statement.
My immediate purpose is to call attention
to the fact that whenever the niger lovers
slop over as Andrew did in this instance, the
logical and inevitable result is an increase in
the dislike of the white people for the blacks
Such batteries of the negroes not only put the
devil into their own heads, but rouse the pas
sions of hell in the breasts of the whites
When the average white man sees multi
millionaire whose fortune is the result of gov
ernmental favors and of systematic frauds,
catering to the negroes in that offensive way,
his resentment extends to the uppity negro.
Carnegie is one of those men who invite
Booker Washington to eat dinner with him:
