They are making a great mistake. In
stead of extending jimcrowism they
ought to fight it and have the i'm
crow school abolished as it is contrary
to the laws of the state of New Jersey.
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 80.
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
weak class of citizens of
foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich
and the poor will be separated in the
schools. Who knows?
The jimcrow agitators of Atlantic
City are playing with fire.

THE JEWS DID IT.

The great wholesale drygoods house
of H. B. Claim & Co. has faileu and
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.
Would that the Afr0-American would
lear to punish their enemies.

PUTTING 1T ON GOD.

Old Francis Joseph, Emperor of
Austria-Hungary, in declaring war on
little Servia, stated that he earnestly
desired to avoid hostilities but "Provi-
dence decreed otherwise"
That has a familiar sound. In the
dark days before the war, the alleged
Christians of the United States said
that God had decreed slavery as a
great benefit to the poor benighted
Africans"
At the present time alleged Christ
ians are mountaineering Afro-Ameri-
cans, putting them out of their church
es, segregating them in certain cities,
building jimcrow Y. M. c. AS, forcing
the race into jimcrow schools, jimcrow
cars, jimcrow public libraries, jim
crow public parks. Southern Chris
tan (?) legislators disfranchise the
race and pass all sorts of discriminat.
inng laws. When called to account
for their unchristian actions they bold
ly claim that it was decreed by God
that the races should be separate in
all things The idea that certain
classes wronged other classes by d.
vine right may have been believed in
the Middle Ages but the people do not
swallow such dope nowadays.

HIS LONG SILENCE
SpePe, Indian Of Mystery,

Washington.-Spo-Pe, the Indian man

division Of the Government Hospital

in 1882. His silence was accepted by
the army medical examiners as con-
Vincing symptom Of melancholia.
The crime for which the Indian
was imprisoned was the murder of Il

the white race for the killing of bis

Times without number during his in
generation efforts have been made to
persuade Spo-Pe to talk. Not a syl-
liable, not even grunt, has the aged
warrior volunteered.
But when Mr.. and Mrs. Clark. in
company with James Perrine and
Charles W. Buck, paid a visit to the
insane hospital they explained to the
superintendent that they had under
stood there was an Indian among the
inmates.
Mrs. Clark had Spo-Pe pointed out to
her. With her husband she addressed
him in the stilted but eloquent Indian
tongue. Spo-Pe gave no indication
that he understood. Then Mrs. Clark
said to her friends, "Step back, let me
whisper to him.
She sat down beside the solemn red
man and began a musical form of baby
talk. 1.-The language of little people," as
the Indians call it. She crooned and

because the Afro-Americans in that
city have not been aggressive in their
fight against injustice.
Some years ago proposal was made

Residential segregation came as

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1902 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by reso]ute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was GOV
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
Is a British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison Of con-
dltions in the United States and the
West 1ndies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor

the races in trains, street cars, etc.. to
save the white people from occasional
contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell-

races occupy the same cars, separated
only by absurdly inadequate little

strength of his little finger. Needless

In Birmingham, Alabama, the front

other, it is not easy to understand in
the light of the letter and alleged
spirit of the Jim Crow law! The un.

not the separation of the races in

insist upon its fulflllment to that end.
