ton of the first, with the Juniors
fighting harder than ever for the vic
tory and the Seniors locating the loop
from all angles. Miss Margaret Cook

Negroes Not Dependent on Favoritism

Negroes Not Dependent on Favoritism.
To the Editor of The Times:
1t seems to be the tendency OF the
American press to attribute every &C.
complainant of the Negro to some
form of favoritism or some other
frivolous excuse In order to constrain
the mind of the public to believe that
the Negro cannot accomplish any
thing tangible and praiseworthy with.
out having some form Of crutch by
which to do It. Thus, everything 10
done to discredit his success and lead
the world into ignorance concerning
his progress. It Is not any more un.
natural for the black man to succeed
than any other man. He needs nc
more supernatural aid than anybody
else.
And, while he has not had the op
portunity to even realize his own
strength and convince the world Of
his powers, he certainly has the same
susceptibiIities and capabilities that
may be found In other men.
While Mr.. Miller seems to be broad
and liberal enough to publish the ex
ceiling success Of Negroes In civil
service examinations, II seems rather
absurd to call upon man like Mr.
Tillman, whom he determines the
most hostile enemy OF the race, to
