ATTITUDE TO
COL0RED FOLKS.

If the Northern states had
all been sunk in the sea before
our Civil War, the Southern
states would have freed the
Negro sooner or later. A pre-
requisite to the settlement OF
the race problem is that we
shall treat it precisely as If the
Negro had been freed by
Southern legislation. l be-
lieve that we are at bottom
more interested in these weak
er people than we are willing
to admit, and that the time is
coming when our best people
will speak out. l hope to see
the day when our teachers
will prepare our children tor
the right attitude toward the
Negro by telling them all
about his African home, the
conditions which have delay
ed his development there, the
opportunity which his pres
ence in our midst gives US to
raise him, the obligation of
every person of the higher
race to bear with him and to
help him. l believe that such
talks will have real effect on
the lives of these children and
help them to deal with thei,
own problems of right and
wrong, of God and the soul.
Let their maxim be NO
blesse oblige." Is not this
the way to fit our children for
the maintenance of white as
tendency?
We sincerely wish to i'm
prove the Negro-for his good
and for our own, but we do
net stop to consider that self :
respect is as essential to his
improvement as it is to ours.
1t is God S way of pointing
the upward path. The matter
must must be explained to
our people in order that the
white man with whom the
Negro maybe brought in con-
tact shall understand that it is
not many to humiliate him.

CHIEF SANS UTOPIA
NOT FOUND; is RETURN,


Led by Captain Manuel F.
CAeca, who commanded the
Liberia, Chies Sans ship
which carried II2 misguided
Negroes from the United
St3tes to Africa. a party IS,
md dmbers of the crew, reached
New York City on the steam
|er1 orseman from Liverpool
s.lIy last week.
fhief Sam, whose campaign
in this country attracted much
attention, was at the head of
the party which sailed on the
Liberia from Galveston. Tex,
in August, 1914. The vessel
was seized by the British au-
xiliary cruiser Victoria at
Maio, Cape Verde islands,
and a prize crew put aboard.
This crew took the vessel to
free,own, Sierra Leono, AZ
RIGA. An attempt on part of
some Of the party to reach
lChief Sans alleged posses
ksions, "a miles inland, had to
Ebe made on foot. When the
(barty reached the place they
turned around and walked
tmef Sans money gave
ou: and the crew struck for
wages. The British govern
ment then seized the ship on
writ of hef at Anamabos,
and there the vessel is now.
Great Britain then attempted
Ito get the crew back to the
! United States. and the party
OF eighteen which reached
New York last week is the
first consignment. They were
sent to Hull, transferred then
to Liverpool and put aboard
the Norseman for New York.
At the British consulate the
men were paid their wages
and started to their various
destinations. They are all
American citizens. but were
und der British jurisdiction un-
til reaching their original des-
atoms.
In the party we're DR.. P. ].
Dorman, Of Mantee, Okla.
the former ships doctor, and
frederick Zahn. of Roxbury,
NJ ass, wireless operator, and
the only white man who err
barked on the expedition.

sam, the Moses of the expe.
dition, is sick with beri beri

Colored Doctor Appointed


Louisville. Ky.-Dr. w. H.
Pickett, a we'll known colored
physician. was recently ap-
pointed as a member Of the
hospital staff of the City Hor-

when it is known that never
in the history OF this million
dollar hospital has a colored
physician ever been appoint :
ed to fill such a position. DR..
Pickett is to be congratulated
for having secured such a po-
sition. He has been assigned

SEGREGATION
BY CENSUS.

Negroes in the United
States. is the title of a pam
phet gotten out by the United
States Census Bureau. The
title is misleading, for there
are only 473 real Africans in
the United States. according
to the Census, that is Negroes
born in Africa.
1t is wrong, unjust and un
American for the government
to segregate its clerks by
color in the Departments In
Washington. and it is also
wrong. unjust and un- -Ameri
can for the government to is
sue a separate and inaccurate
Census Bullentin as it has
done in the case of the bulle-
tin. Negroes in the United
States"
The United States assumes
that a group of about 10000,
900 people are Negroes and
proceeds to SO classify them.
More than ninety-nine per
cent Of the persons so classi-
fed were born in America OF
American parents and 50 on
back for ten, generations.
Na man whose ancestors
for many generations is not
an American. who is entitled
to the name1 If a white man
can become an American in
two generations. why should
a person Of any other color
BON in this country fail to
"arrive" in the same space of
time?
The name Negro" applied
to a group of citizens in this
country is inaccurate, because
it does not include forty or
fifty million other Americans
who have more or less Negro
blood. The expression pure
race" is a myth SO all great
writer's on racial questions
agree
The mixing Of bloods in this
country has gone SO far that
it is impossible to determine
with any degree of accuracy
who has Negro blood and who
has not. and for the Govern :
ment to select about 10000,
900 people and say that they
are Negroes" and by that
act to aid in making them a
separate treatment in church
and state, is to perpetrate a
great wrong.
1t is an infa mons thing for
the government of this great
republic to draw the color line
in any way. In a republic
every citizen should have
exactly the same status 80 far
as the government is concern
led.
There is no reason why a
Democracy should attempt to
classify its citixens by their
blood. All persons born in
this country should be consisf-
cred Asrericans Without any
pre6xes or sufaixes.

Sept. a6 in the hall at Van

leave the building. giving as
reason:
Il am asoutherner and have

They have several times tried

and said to Mr.. Ford, "Here
is a dollar; you and your wife

refused to accept the dollar

He was told most pointedly
that the hall had been rented
by their organization, that

We Rise To Remark

In an article last week entitled
"Croswell to have day SERVICE" the
Jeffersonian states: "Yale is getting
equipment along the same lines and
expects to make their electrical
plant paying thing for the city" We
have been getting day service for about
two years now and when we say day
service we mean l8 and 10 hours out Of
the twenty. four. The published state
ment last spring showed net gain of
S1928.19 and the year previous Of
S12l8.98 over all running expenses
which also includes bond interest. A
new electrical driven pump is now under
construction and will be installed next
month which will further cut our costs
and this, with new business being taken
on daily, should soon put US out of the
expectation class" Our financial re-
port will be published again about April
first and while we have no way of
knowing at present what it will be, we
will wager our delinquent subscription
list against ton of beet pulp that 1t
beats last year

ATTEND THE
EXPOSITION AT
our EXPENSE

That our contest will be winner is
an assured fact. A number of our
readers have been making inquiries re-
garding same and the contestants are
beginning to line up. There are 10
names already entered and we would
like to increase the list to at least 80.
There is nothing but hard work in a
newspaper contest, and the one who
wins either of our trips will have to
hustle right up to and including the
closing day.
Despite the fact that we have been
hammered" little from certain quar-.
ters we are going right ahead with the
contest as though nothing happened.
This is no charity deal. We charge 81
per year for our paper and it's worth
1t, too. We have a lot of money out
standing on subscription which we
wish to collect In. And besides there
are few people land very few at
that who do not take the paper. We
want to get these names on our list
and get what is owing us on subscrip-
ton, hence the contest.
In asking friend or a prospective
subscriber for a years subscription to
the Expositor you can assure him that
he is not being "worked" but will get
more than full value for his money.

Read This, Then Get Busy

1t has been a number of years since
Yale had real old.fashioned Fourth
/ of July celebration. Why wouldn't II
be a good plan to 60 after one this
year that would make George w.
understand that there sure is lots of
real patriotism in this neck-o'-the-
woods. We do not mean the old kind
of celebration but one of the safe,
sane sort.
The Fourth falls on Sunday this
year and we suggest something our
little city has never had-a two or three
day base ball tournament, starting on
say the afternoon Of the 1st and wind.
ing up on the third.
Yale has the timber for one of the
fastest little ball teams in the Thumb
and the boys are always ready and anx
ious to do their best but during the
past two years have gone behind on
account of lack of interest on the part
of our citizens.
BY giving little support to our
team when ii is organized it will give
the boys lots of encouragement and
make them take more interest in the
games.
We might also suggest horse races
and other amusements during these
two or three days, something that will
bring the largest crowd that our city
has ever entertained. Why not get
busy and start pushing for big three.
