best to contine the sale of "medi-

against sudden accidents that were
likely to take place if some stranger
got a prescription filled, and we
might be compelled to govern our

we wanted, and we told him he had
to fall in; he did so gladly. We

CURSE TO THE RACE,

Attention is called to a special tc
The Bee to the effect that the BoarC
of Education of Wyoming, a vii
lage in Ohio just outside of Cincin-
natl, proposes to establish a sepa-
rate school for the less than forty
colored children of the village. Il
is pointed out that the laws ot
Ohio prohibit separate schools in
that State. If the colored citizens
of Wyoming favor, or permit
through Indifference, the establish
ment of a separate school for col
ored children then they do not de-
serve the privileges and rights of
citizenship. Such an establish
ment would be a step backward, a
grievous step backward, and 'for-
ward, not backward" should be the
slogan of the colored people of
Ohio. What a terrible rebuke it
would be to the aggressive and pro-
gressive colored men and women
of that State who years ago con-
tended for, and had it written into
the laws that there should be no
schools in Ohio. If the
colored people of Ohio permit their
children to be jim-crowed in sepa-
rate schools when the law of the
State emphatically defines against
it, then it will not be very long
until the whites, with the colored
peoples approval or indifference to
will repeal the law prohib-
iting separate schools. Every van
tage ground lost simply shoves the
race farther back into conditions
which prevailed before the issuance
of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Negroes who will permit of the es-
tablishment of separate schools in
States whose laws prohibit same
are nothing less than a curse to the
race, and it would be a welcomed
act of divine providence if all such
were returned to their Maker in
Even a suggestion of a
return to separate schools in Ohio
is reflection upon the intelligence
of the colored people of that State.
