phrase: "A republic can not endure

DISCRIMINATION, THE

1t takes great deal OF argument

lions 10 convince the average man of
color that he has been taking himself
too seriously in the matter of his cit

such. He does not stop to think that
the limited privileges which he now
enjoys-and they are only privileges
were granted to him by white men
who dominate everything and every.

Negro has not been able. since he be-
came a free man, TO compel through
organization the enactment OF sin.

benefit. and yet he has sufficient politi.

Mason and Dixon line TO accomplish
anything he wanted to. II he knew
how.
There is nothing that white men in
power so much fear as systematic or.
ganization and there seems to be moth.
Ing that Negroes themselves are so
much afraid OF as systematic organi.
zaiion. The white man is afraid of 1t
because he is constantly seeing the
effects OF II In business and In politics.
The Negroes are afraid OF 1t because
OF local. state. and national jealousies
and rivalries for leadership among

purpose. and realizing the effect upon
his own organizations of keeping the
Negroes divided politically gathers
strength and power thereby and is
aided by Negro factions to acquire

by white leaders for them. He bears
their stamp OF approval and goes forth

Insects like neither salt nor alum,
so sprinkle either on the carpet to keep
them away.
Burning oil is spread by water. To
extinguish it throw down -four, sand
or earth The idea is to prevent the
oil spreading.
Starch should he mixed with soapy
water. for thus the linen will have a
more glossy appearance and be less
likely to sticy to the iron.
Clotheslines and pegs will last much
longer If they are boiled for ten min
utes when new. II is a good plan TO
repeat the boiling occasionally
If there is a baby in the family save
