Corbett Tells About Flatfooted

writer saw him just before he jump

What are you quoting me as say

that serious look and those shaggy
eyebrows Hanging over his lamps like
moss on the edge OF waterfall.

say that no defensive fighter who
is fiat-footed can be a champion.
Don't tell me that Cans was a fiat.

is always backing away TO give his

fellow TO lead, and in backing up
let's the other fellow measure the

that. He backed around sometimes.

Nov. a fiat-footed man would fall
over on his back If he attempted to

Dir. James Samuel Stemons has
seen IT 90 take issue with us relative
20 our views upon the best course TO
pursue in dealing with the embar.
raising conditions which now con-
front certain labOring elements OF
the cOlored race. IL is shown that
they are being supplanted by white
labor in the North. Mr.. Stemons
makes the usual blunder OF all OF
our leaders, who engage in the dis
cuSsiOn OF great questions. They per
NIT their zeal TO outrun their judg-
ment. Conservatism is now the
watch word and men who are too
radical are listened 10 by only those
devotees. who are in a class to them
selves.
We must use diplomacy now and
sound judgment in order 10 win. It
seems to US that we have a right TO
accorded the privilege of expressing
them without being lashed by a
leader who seems to be permeated
by the same motives as ourselves.
We are OF the opinion that IL we
shall turn our outward eyes inward
for a little while and become thor

comings, we shall be in a better posi-
tion 70 meet the waves OF industrial
prejudice now sweeping over us.
We plainly stated that the worth
iessness OF the members of the ris-
ing generation was not confined to
the Negro race, but was applicable
10 the white one as well. Mr.. Stem
Ons does not seem to know that the
Negroes, who are something and who
are doing something, constitute the
minority of the race as a whole.
This is equally true of the white
race and we might say OF all other
races. The larger the percentage of
intelligence and positive effort. the
more glorious is the history of the
race TO which 1t is accredited. There
are numerous pursuits in this sec
ton OF the country which are "go-
ing abegging" from the lack OF
trained competent colored people to
engage in them. Colored men OF
ability who should be carpenters are
dining room servants, colored men
OF skill. who should be mechanics
