some people who act as clogs in the
wheels Of progress; it does not take
long for cog to become a clog.
Theer IS a big bunch of human
clogs about and tbs twice as hard
to go with them. refer to this
bunch that thinks that anything
white is better than everything black
If they buy a pair Of shoes from a
man once, that man becomes the in
innate friend of theirs for life; if the
undertaken buried their grandmother
thirty years ago, and no one has
died SINCE. he is the family under
taker, and thus it goes n down the
line. The business smile of the white
man becomes a purely personal one
with them, if he says, "How do you
do today?" He shows great special
interest in their health. They will
walk all night to help some white
fellow who once took drink with
them and would not go block to
save a Negro from being evicted un-
less there was a dollar tax with the
information. They will stand on the
corner an hour explaining why he
cannot spend ten cents at the colored
store and break his neck to buy
something from a white man that he
/ does not know what to do with.
Every doctor he gets is a specialist
and never sends him a bill; every
lawyer he chases to death and has
the cash for has a special pull with
the judge and jury and by some
means a Negro lawyer cannot under
stand the peculiar case in law. And
thus it goes on, anything white is
better than everything black.
The wheels of progress are made
to move slowly and usually this type
of man or woman is the one that is
very important in the church or
lodge; they fawn and praise the very
men whose economic life they are
trying to sti1e.
To praise a man and then take
ten dollars from him, especially when
you are not going to spend the mon
ey, is little worse than hitting him
over the head with a brick. AS a
general thing the man that talks
most about race pride is talking
most about himself and keeps all he
can to himself, fearing evidently that
someone else would get something
to really equal him.
The man who spends his money
with the colored drug store, with the
colored grocery, with the colored law
years and doctors is doing more thar
the fellow who makes speech anc
takes his money some other place
1t is an unfortunate condition tina
the best people are apt to go frs
and leave the grafters and wire pull
ers.
Boys are going to school first tt
learn to read and write and maxi
good citizens; secondly to make a liv
ing. If there are no business enter
prises among their o&n people the.
stand poor chances Of getting wha
they deserve. This race pride is les
matter of sentiment than it is o
dollars and cents.
