THE SPIRIT OF SEGREGATION.

In order to keep in harmony with
South, there should be introduced in
the South, and then in the West, la"
compelling the packages sent by Ne
groes through Uncle Sans mail (paT'
eel posD to be labeled Sent by Ne
sroes," which in turn ought to be nan
died on separate cars, on separate
trains. all run, operated and owned by
Negroes. The mail should arrive at
a Negro depot, carried to end fro by
Negroes TO Uncle Sans Negro post
office, there distributed and delivered
bV Negroes to Negroes. This is the
logic of segregation. If it is unlawful
for white teachers in New Orleans ana
South Carolina to teach and instruct
Negro children, then it certainly IS,
and will later be so declared, unlaw-
full for Negro and white children, men
and women TO breathe the same ar
eat the same brand of flour, drink the
same kind of water or walk upon tne
same street or streets at the same
time.
While all this hinders, hurts and
bumiliates the Negro, yet by this Jim
Crowism" thousands of dollars have
been withdrawn from the use OF white
men and benefited Negro clerks in
banks and mercantile and professional
pursuits. When the South Jim
Crowed" the Negro, they insulted him
and his manly self-respect has put it
a new dignifed existence out of the
intended humiliation.

discrimination and Colorphobia in
Denver. Champa street had been in
vaded, Curtis street was then inOcu-
lated and Larimer street had shown
sporadic symptoms of prejudice dis

passed by in the most silent and alb
ject contempt by the Negroes and one
by one the discriminating signs have
either been taken down or covered up
or destroyed. You remember the Mig
ser-head bullet" coal company and it's
disgusting sign, and how you con
temptuously ignored it. Well. it's
Colonial theatre has been taken down,
the Paris has covered their sign over
tonly) and the Eighteenth street peo-
pie and Larimer street Greeks who
had "Colored Trade Not Wanted"
have both gone out of business. The
Belmont restaurant, where this sign
once waved, under new management
serves everybody. The only sign up
but temporarily covered is the Paris
theatre, and we are praying, working
and encouraging the United States
theatre to cause the For Rent sign
to hang in the lobby of the Paris. One
step has been accomplished. The big
broad-hearted Western American be
lieves in a square deal to everybody in
public business.
You cannot put into and success
fully mix prejudice and public bust

troll the business or the business con
troll the prejudice. If the latter OBJ

former, sooner or later death and stag

against races or individuals in bust
ness) that shall he also reap. A true
law of compensation. II never fails.
