Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps
the children Of the men who are agi-
tating this matter will curse them in
the days to come and they will be
justified in doing so.
Any man who at any time justifies
and fights for the segregation Of his
people from other American citizens
is not only an enemy of his race but
he is also an enemy of the Republic.
Caste begets caste. If the Afro-Ameri.
can people are segregated why not the
Jews next? Then perhaps some
numerically weak class of citizens OF
foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich
and the poor will be separated in the
schools. Who knows?

the Jews did it.
Years ago A. T. Stewart the first
great drygoods merchant prince of
America, angered the Jews by refus-
ing to receive them as guests at the
Grand Hotel at Saratoga, of which he
was the owner. Jewish merchants all
over the country combined and in a
few years forced him to the wall.
The Chaflin Company is really the
reorganized Stewart business. For
years Jewish merchants have been
withdrawing their trade and when the
pinch came Jewish bankers, remem-
bering the insult to their people in
the past, refused to furnish the money
to enable the firm to tide over the
trouble.
The Jews never forget an injury
and who wrongs the race must pay
the price.
