"Iconoclast" declares, emphatically,
that in the United States the negro
receives Just treatment, and that he
has similar opportunities for advance
ment as the white man of the same
financial status.
These statements l deny with equal
emphasis, says a writer in a Chicago
paper.
l have been in every state In the
Union, as well as in many foreign
countries, and l have yet to see a
place in English speaking America,
with the exception Of the British West
Indies and British Guiana, where even
the respectable negro is treated, not
as a colored human being, but as a
human being. There is a great differ
ence in the distinction.
Even in these excepted places, as
well as in the remainder of the new
world, the genuine or nearly genuine
negro suffers many disabilities.
To the uninitiated the negro in the
North receives apparently fair play
There is the appearance of his be
ing able to come and go at volition
but such is not the case, and there are
many restrictions.
"Iconoclast," if l rightly Judge, can
base his opinion only on a one sided
experience of the matter. To get
some idea of the other side l would
advise him to color" up himself
just a little will do-and go forth tc
prove his assertions. He need not &C
south, but can remain right here in
Chicago, where the negro is treated
better than anywhere else north of the
Rio Grande.
Surprising him to be a paragon OF
refinement and culture, let him try
to get employment other than mental
or to get a good seat in a theater, OIL
to find a first class restaurant where
he is not frowned upon. In at leasf

1t is true that the negro is indebted
directly or indirectly, for his all to TIL
white man, but has he not overearneC
it by the unrequited toll of centuries

There is a great difference between
the opportunity of the poorer whit
man and that of the negro. The fol
mer, if he has health and the vii
to succeed, can aspire and hope event
ually to reach any position. In n
other country in the world has h
such opportunities. Lincoln, Ca.
negie, Rockefeller and many other
sprang from this class, and ii
chances are better today, because thi
great republic is now at the zenith {
its power.
The negro is susceptible to aes
thetic refinement, or to it's direct OF
posite, and he is today in all parts G
the world just what his environment
makes him.
