SEGREGATION.


And now Louisiana comes for
ward with favOritism for the seq
regatiOn idea evolved III the
brains of race-hating Baltimore
ans. In New Orleans it is pro-
posed to introduce segregation
ordinance, segregating cOlOred
people, and TO even segregate
them to certain points removed
from whites during the passing of
the annual Madi Gras parade.
If the whites would only stop to
consider, this segregation idea
may prove a boomerang. Restrict
ing men to a certain prescribed
sphere OF limit has always had
the effect of creating discomfort,
Which found an outlet in rebellion
and crime. 1t is impossible to re-
strict without creating discomfort,
and discomfort breeds contempt,
and contempt of law precedes re
belliOn against laws. The Negro
of to-day is not the Negro of prior
to 1865. He has tasted some of
freedom, for which he fought. He
has a desire to rise and be a MAN.
To thwart his honest, noble aim by
saying to him in enacted statutes,
"thus far and no farther" might
change him from peaceful, law
abiding, industrious citizen to a
hateful, resentful, dangerous cit
izen, which he has no desire to be-
come. The Negro, as a class, is
simply desirous of a mans
chance-nO more, no less. The
years of slavery, when the enforc-
ed ignorance of the slave woman
made her the easy victim of the
immoral and immoral Overseer
and STAKEHOLDER, peOpled the
South with thousands and thou
sands of illegitimate half-breeds,
so that there is hardly a white
family in all Southland but what
has a kinship, by blood, to the
Negro. Now, if the whites segre-
gate the Negro, in hundreds and
thousands cf cases they will be
segregating their own flesh and
blood. White cOuncilmen who will
vote for segregation laws, in many
cases, will be voting to segregate
a brother or sister by the same
father, but by a black mother.
VIII the whites pass iniquitous
laws against their own flesh and
blood? Will they do it?

so SOON?

RumOrs coming from New York
indicate that there is beginning
of the end of the National Negro
Committee, of which Prof. Du
BOis is the titular head. Thus far
the funds for its maintenance, and
for the propagation of Dubois
ideas, have been furnished bywhite
folks, the Tumor alleging that it
costs some eight hundred dollars
a month to maintain the commit
tee, including the professors sal
airy. To offset this expenditure,
the cOlOred allies, wOrshipers and
prOpaganders of Prof. Dubois
have contributed nothing but sim
ply "talk," and talk pays no sal
aries. The lectures of Prof. Du
BOis, it is said, have not proved
financially successful, for the rea-
son that there seemed to be no
great body of cOlOred people inter
ested sufficiently to pay the price
of admission. 1t is also claimed
that the amount, to date, contrib
uted by the Dubois colored con-
tingent for the support of this
committee has not been sufficient
to even pay the cost of one issue
of The Crisis, the organ of the
committee.
The Washington bee., 1911-03-18

If this committee lapses into in
nocuous desuetude,-it is even
now innocuous,-it will appear
that Failure is a bete nOir that
continues to hang upon Prof. Du
Bois's heels, for down to date
every movement inaugurated by
him has been a failure. His Mag
ara Movement is, and has been,
for several years in a worse than
comatose condition; his retreat
from Atlanta left no regret IN its
wake, indicating that he accom-
plished little there, and now comes
the rumOr that, primarily because
of the failure of his cOlored adher-
ents to respond financially, his
newborn baby, which cried so
Justify at birth, is at deaths door.
This, however, might have been,
and was to be expected, for the
reason that the propaganda was
formulated out of jealousy and
selfishness More largely than out
of sincerity. No movement, no
matter how great may be its spon-
sOr, can stand or become an effect
i've instrument for good if it's
primary aim is to retard and de-
feat some other movement moving
along a parallel line to attain the
same end-Advancement. Had
Prof. Dubois marshailed his
forces for a determined assault
upon the forts of prejudice-for
the achievement of rights and
privileges for his race-instead of
marshalling them for an assault
upon DR.. Washington, he might
have succeeded. But pitiable man,
like Don SanchO Panza, he has
been wasting his energies upon a
windmill. And now is his latest
mOvement-that committee-to go
so soon?
