The question which confronts
the negro more seriously now,
is not securing employment,
but being able to do the work
when employed. The average
colored boy or girl is either too
lazy and unreliable or incompe-
tent, they do not do anything
well, have not the ambition and
patience to learn, and most OF
them are too "bull headed" to
be taught, yet you are forever
worring because your boy or
girl can't get employment.
They don't know anything.
They will not go to school long
enough to get a firm education
and you can't teach them. If
the negro or colored girl does
not improve, negro business and
professional men will be forced
to employ white help. The av-
erage colored girl can't do OF
fee work efficiently, can't cook,
can't keep house; as DR.. H. said,
don't know anything, but we
are not conderning you for not
being accomplished, but you are
not trying to be. You ought
to be good in something besides
imitation, and we are not good
at imitation, because the most
of us don't appear clean and
tidy on the streets. We don't
learn how to sew; we fail to see
what good you girls are. What
do you expect to do7 Do you
expect some good man to go
"daffy" after your If you do
you are deceiving yourself. The
trouble with you girls is, you
give too much time to these
trifling young negro men who
have not got sense enough to
lead mule to water.

In the language of Paul, we

set or community of white
people that any state or city
can boast of, which is great
asset. We appreciate these
good white people and shall be
pleased to help make Peoria a
banner city, which she is destin-
ed to be. But, in order to be
respected and assisted we must
denounce and trample underfoot
the worthless, dishonest negroes
who come into the city and
make things intolerable. We,
as race, must become assets
to the community and not re-

A BETTER PEORIA ON

Yes, we are agreed. What
Peoria needs is a righteous
awakening, a rising up of the
best element, that is, the most
intelligent. the most in tellect-
ual and progressive element,
who stand for moral elevation
and forward marching. Peoria
needs good leader to cope
