In the article which follows, Mrs. Mag
gle II. Walker, the banker editor of
st. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia,
truly says, when the spirit and pow
er of agitation die among a people,
they are doomed beyond all hope of
resuscitation and redemption"
THE POWER OF AGITATION.
The greatest power on earth for the
Fighting of wrongs, is. the power of
agitation. When the spirit and power
OF agitation die among people, they
are doomed beyond all hope of resus-
citation and redemption. So important
is the power, that it is guaranteed to
the people through the mandates of
the Constitution of the United States.
The cOlored man is not an agltator,
nor has he ever been. It has dinned
into his ears until it has reached his
very soul, that all he has to do toward
righting his wrongs, is to wait until
the Lord himself shall see fit to come
down and right them. The idea OF
peaceably assembling and making in.
telligent and persistent protest against
outrage and wrong seems foreign to
him. Or, should he start an agitation
and is rebuffed at the start, he loses
heart, abandons the effort and gives up
like disappointed child. IL.
1t is the agitation of the waters OF
the sea, which prevents stagnation
and death. 1t is the agitation of the
air which gives pure air to breathe
1t is the agitation of the blood, which
gives us the power of motion and lire
and it is the agitation of thoughts and
ideas which prevents brain stagnation
and mental death. When people lose
that interest in themselves, to thai
extent that they stand supinely by
quietly submitting to wrong, without
protest, they have reached the danger
point in race progress development.

BY REV. QUINCY EWING.

But we are very far from needing
to rely upon any general consideration
in support of the proposition advanced
above. It is supported by evidences
on every hand, waiting only the eye
of recognition. Scarcely day passes
but something is said or done with this
end in view, to emphasize, lest they
forget, the conviction for both white
man and Negro that the latter is and
must remain an inferior. Let me in
stance a few such evidences.
Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legis-
lation in the manner of it's enforce
ment. Such legislation is supposed to
have for its object the separation of
the races in trains, street cars, etc., to
save the white people from occasional
contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell-
ing Negroes, and to prevent personal
encounters between the whites and
blacks. Members of the different
races occupy the same cars, separated
only by absurdly inadequate little
open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and
light that conductor can move them
from one seat to another with the
strength Of his little finger Needless
to add, these screens would serve to
obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell
OF drunken rowdies who sat behind
them! In summer cars, black and
white passengers may be separated
not even by a make-believe screen;
they are simply required, respectively,
to occupy certain seats in the front
or the back end of the cars.
In Birmingham, Alabama, the front
seats are assigned to Negroes in all
closed cars, and the back seats in all
open ones. Why the front seats in the
one case, and the back seats in the
other, it is not easy to understand in
the light of the letter and alleged
spirit of the Jim Grow law! The un-
derlying purpose of the law is clearly
not the separation of the races in
space; for public sentiment does not
insist upon its fulfllment to that end.
The underlying purpose Of it would
seem to be the separation Of the races
in status. The doctrine Of inequality
would be attacked If white and black
rode in public conveyances
On equal terms; therefore the Negro
who rides in a public conveyance
must do SO, not as of undoubted right.
but as with the white mans regula-
ion. This place you may occupy,
hat other you may not, because am
and you are you, lest to you or to me
{ should be obscured that ! am ! and
tou are YOU" Such is the real spirit
i the Jim Crow laws.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1914.
JUST BUNK, PLAIN BUNK.

One of the biggest lies ever printed
is going the rounds of the Afro-Ameri-
can press. 1t is to the effect that the
Jews have never fought prejudice, but
have succeeded by allowing them
selves to be kicked and booted about
without protest, being too busy annex
ing the Almighty Dollar to be dis
turbed by prejudice.
In the language of the street, that is
bunk, just bunk.
AS a matter of fact, the Jews are
continually fighting prejudice in every
way possible, quietly and openly. They
have strong organizations and do not
hesitate to use their power against
their enemies. Because A. T. Stewart,
once merchant prince and owner of
the Grand Hotel at Saratoga Springs,
N. Y, refused to accommodate Jews at
his hotel, they ruined his dry goods
business. That was forty years ago.
Not satisfied with that, they visited
their wrath upon his successors. H. B.
Clafin & Co., recently and put the
firm out of business. It required forty
years to complete the job, but they
never allowed the thought, 1--WE can't
do it." to enter their minds. THEY
DID 1T.
Numbers of hotel proprietors have
been financially ruined because they
dared to discriminate against the
Jews. ..a
The Jews also recognize the power
of public opinion so they have formed
a national organization to fight a
single misrepresentation of the
Hebrew people on the stage and it is
their policy to put out of business any,
theater manager who permits actors
to extensively assaii or burlesque the
Jews. sEEa
There are other organizations to |
fight specific abuses. One organiza-
ton looks after the schools and pro-
tests against Shakespeare's Merchant |
of Venice as supplementary reading in
the public schools, on account of the
hideous portrayal of the character Of
shylock, the Jew. Other organiza-
lions look after other abuses.

Bells, was charged with ritual muir

What Segregation Means
Rev. Quincy Ewing Southern Caucasian and Reared in
Mississippi Shows the Policy of South is to Keep
the fro-American in Inferior Status

Why is it that in every Southern
city no Negro is allowed to witness a
dramatic performance, or a baseball
game, from tirst-class seat? In
every large city, there are hundreds of
Negroes who would gladly pay for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were they permitted to.
1t can hardly be that permission is
withheld because theatres and base
ball games are so we'll attended by
half the population that first-class
seats could not be furnished for the
other half. AS a matter of fact, thea
tre-auditoriums and baseball grand.
stands are seldom crowded; the rule
is, not all first-class seats occupied,
but many vacant Surely as simple as
moving from seat to seat makeshift
screen in a street-car, would it be to
set apart certain number of seats
in the dress-circl of every theatre.
and in the grandstand of every base
ball park, for Negro patrons. The rea-
son why this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
average Southern man or woman to
sit through the hours of theatrical
performance or baseball game on
terms of equal accommodation with
Negroes, even with a screen between,
Negroes would look out of place, out
of status, in the dress circle or the
grandstand; their place, signifying
their status, is the peanut-gallery, or
the bleachers.
Consider further that, while no Ne
gro, no matter what his occupation, or
personal refinement, or intellectual
culture, or moral character, is allowed
to trave in a pullman car between
state lines, or to enter as a guest ho-
tel patronized by white people, the
blacklist of Negro nurses and Wallets
are given food and shelter in all first
class hotels, and occasion neither dis.
gust nor surprise in the Pullman cars.
Here again the heart of the race prob
lem is laid bare. The black nurse with
a white baby in her arms, the black
valet looking after the comfort of a
white invalid, have the label Of their
inferiority conspicuousIy upon them;
they understand themselves, and
everybody understand them, to be ser.
wants, enjoying certain privileges for
The sake Of the person served. Almost
anything the Negro may do in the
South, and anywhere he may go, pro-
Vided the manner of his doing and his
going is that Of an inferior. Such is
he premium put upon his inferiority;
such his fnducement to MAINTAIN it.

Idaho has been put on in this state to
prevent the shipment of live stock in
to Idaho from states that have been
or may be in the future quarant1ned
by the federal government.
This quarantine, to hold indefinitely
is on to protect Idaho stock from
the dread foot and mouth disease prev
alent among cloven foot stock, in
cIuding sheep, cattle and hogs in par
ticular. Horses can also be affected
with this contagious disease, which is
spreading over the country and which
if not controlled will cost Idaho and
other states hundreds of thousands Of
dollars in the loss of stock.

County Attorney Nisbet and COrOn-
er McCarter left this evening for
Deary where they were called to hold
an inquest over the death of Pete
Adams who was found with an axe
wound in the head today near the Chas.
Lacy place, one mile from Avon. The
details are meagre. Adams and S. NJ.
landlord were cutting wood on the
Lacy place. The former advised Hand
ford that he was going to Deary and
throwing his dOubIe-edged axe over
his shoulder started out. few mo-
ments later landlord saw Adams
body lying on the ground a short dis
tance away and went to it. finding the
man dead, The theory was that
Adams must have stumbled, the sharp
edge of the axe, which was near his
head, cutting a wound sufficiently
enough to cause death.
