To Montana Plaindealer:
Negro rights in the north, pre-

north, is just as intense as that
in the south, only the north
plays the hyprocrite to the con-
trary. | wonder how long the
north is going to play the hypo-
crite and the moral coward on
this question. The north knows
they lie when they say they are
the Negroes friends, the north
erner will come TO the south
with a long face and black heart
and tell the Negro thar up north
is the only place for him and
the only place where he can
have equal rights as that Of lie
white man and that there is no
prejudice against him in he
north. and. he Is only know by
his principle and nor by c.'ar.
But the northern states e&.ait

money to support not only re-

ronage alone we would soon
have rich merchants and capital
lists carrying on large business
enterprises in every section of
the country, that would demand
the respect and recognition of
the world and then prejudices
against the colored race would
cease and every unjust law
would be wiped out. | know it
is said that colored men will
not pay proper respect to their
patrons nor will they stick to
their business closely, if this is
true there is no reason why it
should be in the future better
things are both expected and de
manded. For us the dark clouds
of ignorance and race ratred
which hung over us at the time
of liberation from bondage have
been rent in twain and they are
vanishing before education and
intelligence.
Why not? We live in the
most progressive age of the

NOW all that is singularly
beautiful, as everything is that
comes from the pen and soul
of Professor Dubois.
He is a poet, a man OF a
beautiful sensitive nature, who
loves the men of his color and
of his race.
His book, The Souls OF
Black Folk ranks among the
hnest products OF an oppressed
people.
And that is saying a good deal
when we consider that much Of
the Old Testament was the work
OF slaves and the work OF
Aesop was the work of a slave
And it is interesting to OBJ
serve that Professor Dubois does
not stae as his first plea, pro
lection from peonage and wage
slavery.
There is something tragic in
the plea of race for the right
to public courtesy and for the
right TO be respected in ones
color and individuality.
Rights, however, are not won
by pleading nor guaranteed
when written into constitution.
They are won by strength
and prowess, by character and
force, and independence and
manhood.
The poet, the artist, the
dreamer, may plead for rights
as a matter of justice, but the
world grants those rights only
when they are won.
Wage slavery will be abolish
ed when the workers know their
power and intelligently use their
power.
Negroes will have the right
to courtesy, to their individual
ity, to peace and truth when
they know their power and in
telligence and use their power.
And it it impossible for the
white or black poor to obtain
those rights under capitalism, as
it is impossible for poor men to
obtain these rights under czar-
ism.
And so we come back again
to the aim and end of all our
struggles which is industrial,
political and social democracy,
that can only be won by the
strength, character, intelligence
and independence of the masses.

ness, with Uncle Sam it is if you

FIVE NEW RIGHTS
WHITE AND BLACK

Prot. W. Z. 2. Dubois, the
Races Highest Educated Citi-
zen, Defines the Five New
Rights Which All Men, White
and Black, Should Eniov-
Commented On BY Robert
hunter in the Printer and
Decorator Magazine.
The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1911-03-24

Some time ago Professor w.
+. B. Dubois, OF Atlanta Uni
versity, spoke in New York.
He spoke Of the FIVE rights
which all men, white or black,
should enjoy.
The first was, he said, "The
right to individuality, and I
mean by this, the right to his
own color, and his own way of
thinking, and to his own pre-
judices, so far as these things
do not interfere with other peo-
pies rights to the same thing,
"Second-Tkc right to public
courtesy, This world, from now
on, is going to be a world of
contact of races. 1t is going
TO be utterly impossible to sep
arate and isolate men. In the
past, contact meant war, caste
and slavery, but today it must
not and cannot mean these, fOi
these will cost too much to be
INDUCED in. If, then, this to be
a world of contact, each being in
it has the right of public cour-
tesy; to visit public places
without insul and to travel in
public conveyance unmolested
and to be entertained in public
hostelries.
"Third-A citizen OF the world
should have the right Of oppor-
tunity. We used to say the right
Of education, but this demand
should be broadened to the right.
of opportunity; the right to be
educated in his childhood and
then to have the doors of econo-
mic and political development
thrown open to him, according
TO his ability. Herein lies the
answer of that great search tor
ability which human culture
must make. Hitherto, we have
said. not that we must have men
OF ability. but that we must be
English, or that they must be-
long to the first families. Now
the Lord. in his great wisdom,

auire wisdom to any one class

IN Va ID SOAAS' -AAN II as oiAN
will say ought, they say, "Oh,
well, the Negro is all right in
his place" The northern white
imam thinks it is a disgrace to
be seen talking to a Negro in
public places only when he is
compelled to. And yet, he will
come to the south with that long
lace and black heart of his and
pray this prayer: Almighty,
lis the Author and Finisher of all
things, who is able to destroy
and who is able to defend and
say we grant Almighty Father
that You deliver the etheopians
out of the hands OF their enemies
and send them to a land where
they will find equal rights as
the rights of his whie brother.
.Oh we pray thee, O Lord that
the day will soon come when
the ethiopian can stretch forth
his hand and shake hands with
the caucasian and when the lion
and the lamb can lie down to-
.gether and the eagle can stretch
forth her wings.
And now, when it comes to
the real truth, the northern
white man never did want the
Negro on equal rights with him
and he knows he is playing the
'hypocratic all the time.
The northern white man never
did want the lion and lamb to
lie down together and | must
say they prayed the wrong pray
er and the Lord answered and
now if you do not want the Lord
to answer your prayers you
must not ask as when he once
answers he never takes back.
And now the worst of it all is
the lion does not care to lie
down with lambs, but the lambs
will hug the lione up and try
to compel him to lie down
while the eagle will stretch forth
his wings to make all nations
on equal right. And right here
the northern white man is the
first to holler and as God raised
up the children OF Israel so will
he raise up the Negro of Ameri-
ca. And you talk about the
Negro solving his own problems,
he has already solved it with
faith and prayer and is only
waiting on the Lord. When he
children and inherit the land
prepared Tor you to enter there
in. So my dear northern brother
please do not put on a long
face and pray for something
that you do not want. For if
you do you will be like Sambo
who when he thought that his
master had his burden a little
too hard he too prayed for some
thing he did not want. For
when the Lord sent his young
master to break a small rock
on his head he looked up and
said, Lord can't you take Joke.
The northern white man will
say that up north oyu are not
known by your color. But just
Ilet a real nice, intelligent colorcd
man or woman run a first class
business you will hear the north
ern white brother say, Oh it is
too bad that he or she is colored
they ought to have been Jew
Eo my dear brother drop the
Negro problem and let the Neg
70 fight his own problem. Just
give him what is due him and
he and his God vii solve his
own problems. So | want to
say to my Negro brothers do
not look at the white mans
faults but ever look to God that
made you have courage and
faith, though our future may be
rough and the clouds dark and
ctor,,,v the thunder may roar
