Por mas que la raz6n con dura calma,

y al VERNE jdnto a t, ne siento tuya......
Bahada Dor la luz de tus pupilas.
miro briliar mi dicha en- lontananza.
las horas pasan para mi tranquiias.
por ser tn amor la luz de mi esperanto.
En- tus ojos obscuros Sc rehejan
delicias que mis- ensuenos,
fruiciones voluptuosas que me dejan
embriagada con extasis ~risuenos.
Y al escuchar tn acento enamorado.
mi pecho con delicia Sc dilata,
mi coraz6n 10 siento subyugado,
tn fuego de placer a mi me mata. ...
En- tn voz hay la dicha que corona
mi coraz6n con nimbos de ventura.
que mi espirltu estrecha Y aprisiona
con ondas invisibles de ternura.
jPor que me fnges pasional ternura.
81 ALA en- tn coraz6n solo hay desvfo?
jpor que en- tus ojos ell amor fulgura
81 esta tn pecho indiferente Y frfo?
Mlsterlos son que surgeon en- mi mente.
y me hacen vacilar, desfallecida,
Ell amor me aconseja, goza, %siente...
Mas luego la raz6n me dice: iolvidal
Mas. mol. perdona mi febril reclamo:
mi anhelo de mujer me pone loca.
y aunque con TODD ell coraz6n tie amo,

sin ilusiones, sin amor, sin calma.

AMERlCANS-THAT'S ALL.

For many yearS it has been the
custom to treat colored people as
aliens, although they are more than
ninety-nine per cent of American
birth; and there is a growing ten
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This is
being encouraged by class of lead
ers who call themselves Negroes"
and yell about "Negro Kultur' al
though they have not more than half
and often less than one-eighth Of
Negro blood Such men ought to
stop the Negro" propaganda and be
Americans and demand justice be-
cause they are Americans and not by
the false assertion that they are
Negroes"
They should not have any rights as
Negroes" but every right Of an
American citizen should be and will
be accorded them, if they fight for
their rights as American citizens by
right of birth.

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.

For many years the South has op,
posed higher education and is not gen
orally in favor q any kind of educa-
ton for the masses, and to suggest
that a colored person ought to receive
classical education is sufficient to
throw Southerner into Mysteries.
There's a reason.
Rev. George H. Atkinson, president
of the Albemarle Norman and Indus
trial Institute, Albemarle, N. c., is
now in the North raising funds" as
SO many other Southern beggars of
various colors have done, prior to Rev.
Atkinson's arrival. In a recent speech,
the reverend gentleman said:
we believe if you educate man
in the South he will become dissatis-
fed and move to the North, where OPP
portunities seem to be more numer-
GUS. His education, therefore, does
not help the South.

From Los Angeles comes the news
that the authorities there are con-
sidering what to do in relation to three

seems to be suspicion that the little

JIM.CROWING THEMSELVES.


Some misguided colored men in
and about Washington are getting
signers to a petition to President
Wilson to have a jim-crow military
annex to Howard university because
colored men are barred by prejudice
from West Point and Annapolis.
The men who are engineering this
scheme are really asking that they
be set apart from other Americans.
They do not seem to realize that
they are advocating the most danger
Gus form of segregation, because
they are endeavoring to have the
government stand sponsor for plan
which strikes at the very roots of
citizenship.
The military school at West Point
is not closed officially and legally to
colored youth, and even if it were
the colored people ought to force it
open. The president can appoint
cadets and members of congress can
also name them: The proper thing
to do is to make an effort to have
colored cadets appointed and not
ask to be segregated. That would
be an injury from which the race
would never recover. There are
colored men living who have grad
uated from West Point; why not try
to get some new cadets admitted?

that exhibited by Mrs. Martha Wash
lngton, a former slave, now residing
IN Cincinnati, Ohio. Though y years
OF age she has enrolled in the West
night high school. She has been at
tending the evening classes from the
hrst year they were organized, is
years ago, and she says she will not
quit until she has been awarded a

says one will be given to her for per

lots OF young people we know who
could emulate her example with great
benefit.

AN EAST INDIANS IDEA.

DR.. Krishna of the dethroned dy-
nasty of India, scholar, literateur, and
intimate friend of Pierre Lott, Anatole
France and other European brilliants
is in the United States, and his por-
trait of an American is nothing like
the reflection the delighted gentleman
draws from his own mirror.
In a recent interview DR.. Krishna
said:
"The American lacks spirituality
He is material. He gives his wife
Of 40 $4,000. Now, you take a go
to hell for what I care he tells her.
I must have little bird around that I
can datter and be fattered by And
he gets his divorce"
To this cavalier treatment of the
lady of 40, the American adds a fawn-
ing for anything British, and an anus
ing ingenuity in twisting scriptures to
condone whatever he wants to do, said
the distinguished East Indian.
DR.. Krishna, dark, polished, and of
excellent diction, spoke with contempt
of Americas degeneration to a. mere
colony of England, gladly restoring the
yoke that Washington and other
heroes had cast off at great cost of
blood.
ENGLAND says, 7 must control the
SEAS and America says, yes, it is
right that you should, and America
supports her. And yet, in 1912, your
country fought England for just the
reverse principle. There was a man,
by name George Washington, and you
call him the father of this country be-
cause he demanded and, somehow,
won a free home for his people.
"Send us no more missionaries of
Christ. 1 find that not a nation that
proclaims Christ has not robbed
another nation of it's home. And you
thank God and Christ for each con-
quest that brings the light to heather
peoples.
"Who has made this war? It is the
Christian nations. Is that the light
that you would have us brought by
Christianity?
In India the English have brought
a heel of iron. There are thousands of
our people starving, and yet we must
support English bishops with hand
some rings, carriages, automobiles,
and heavy crosses of gold. If Christ
was crucified on the cross these gold
ones typify, then his followers are
nothing aback in crycifying their
weaker brethren on their little
replicas." ... g..
DR.. Krishna is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Bombay, the University of
Japan, and of Oxford. He is presi-
dent of the Franco-Indian society of
Paris and Bombay, is literary critic
and philosopher.

men from other countries are per-
mitted to attend West Point, so why
should Americans be excluded? And
the colored people are Americans,
not aliens. AS citizens they should
have ALL of the rights of citizen
ship, and one of the rights is to have
their sons attend West Point. That
right has never yet been denied to
them by law. Those who wish to
enter should make their entrance
through the proper channels.
Every true American ought to
frown upon all such efforts as the
jim-crowists are making to segregate
American citizens.

mainly one of health and strength,

a "bad niger" was harder to sell
than one who would make no trouble.

the rest. During the war, with the
splendid record of black men as SOL

by the white man shifted, though only
slightly. After the war, and after the
Fifteenth Amendment began to oper-

his expectation of what the black

The subtler problem, and more
vital to the colored people, is regard

the various arts of civilization. And
his most serious obstacle is-not the
injustice Of his white neighbors, evil
dent and regrettable as that is, but
the danger he continuously incurs OF
holding up low standards of attain.

pete with the white man in business
manufactures, arts, scholarship, ana
other pursuits, he must hold himself
up to as high a standard of excellence
as does the white man. AS a rule,
colored people do not quite come up
