The secret Of nearly all our hatred
and indifference toward our neigh
bors is because We. don't know them.
We are all slaves to names and
titles; we hate to face realities. We
are getting morally color blind to the
inner shades of right and wrong. Often
we are afraid to be alone with our
real selves for fear we should get
acquainted with them"

much more important is it that people
who are born in the United States
should reject any proposals to set
them apart in groups for any reason
or purpose whatsoever.
The colored people are citizens for
titled by ten generations of residence
and they should shun any schemes
which segregate them in any way.
Such plans, no matter how alluring,
they may seem are un-American,
dangerous and damnable.

HERALD HAS ONE EYE ON STATE.
STREET ALL THE TIME
With one eye opened toward cirCU-
latiOn and the other watching State
street department stores awaiting a
possible kick from them, Jim Kelley,
editor of the Herald, has pulled a new
stunt this week. He has played
the doings of a bunch Of North Side
local merchants.
When the North Clark Street Bus
mess Mems assn decided to give a
spring festival in the district along
Clark between Wellington av. and
Addison st. they appealed to the trust
press for publicity.
They got a surprise when the Her
aid took them up and agreed to give |
their proposition space. This is con-
trary to all the rules of trust press !
behavior.
The secret of Keeley's stunt is cir
culation. The North and Northwest |
Sides sell fewer propOrtiOnaIly of the |
trust press papers than any other dis
trict in the city.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-05-06

playing for this circulation by giving
news items from the northern part Of
the city more space than those of
other districts.
At least one paper put a special
feature man on the Northwest Side
in an effort to get stories which
would cause comment among the
North Siders and sell papers.
But the Herald is going a long way
out of the straight and narrow path"
of loop papers to print big stories
about the dOings of local merchants.
What State street will think of this
is a question. The big department
stores are usually set against giving
publicity to local business mems as
sOciatiOns because these men are
their only rivals for the city's bust
ness. The newspapers are not sup
posed to help the little fellow by max
ing their celebration a success.
But State street is also keen for
circulation in this district The lit
tie business men have conered al
most all of the trade and the loop
stores are anxious to reach the peo-
pie.
So they may stand for the boost
the little fellow get, in order to reach
their customers later through the
bigger circulation of the Herald.
