WALLER AGAINST NEGRO"
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says II Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam NeWs.)

Mental and Physical Segregation.
F'rom Amsterdam News.)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on a recent editorial discour-
aging the use OF the word Negro"
There Is no greater delight enjoyed by
tho white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
lie that It is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both physical and mental
aggregation of the people Of color. It's
use is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
Do Bois and Washington feel that its
repetition, ad nauseam, Is necessary to
retain the good will of the masses The
term Negro" is not only absurdly in
accurate as applied to millions of COL
ored people, but it is also alarminly
Injurious, for the following reasons:
q. 1t has never stood historically or
IN the present, anywhere in the world
for anything noble or uplifting. Most
high-grade Africans repudiate it.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam.
bians only: .>
c. It's derivatives, "Negroism," "Ne.
grofy," and its compounds, Negro-head.
Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are all clear
ly, In their associations, degrading.
d.. It's feminine form, "Negress," is
Justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart, II you favor the use Of the mas
cul1ne term. -. --
Q. 1t has been the word used by the
Southern whites for two centuries,
when formally speaking or writing
about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman of the race For when he
speaks OF the worthy he invariably
says "colored."
t. It Is not differentiated in the mind
and thought of the whites from their
favorite and generally used (among
themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nig:
GER"
&: AS stated by an eminent Japanese
diplomat 1t has an unquestioned In
nueQce In cutting us off from the
thought, sympathy and cooperation
OF the millions of colored Africans. Asi.

DEAF Man IN BATTLE

Silent Death Rescuing

London.-Some day the stretcher

throughout the big attack ought to
have monument all to themselves
They have already earned it by their
magnificent courage under terrific fire
One officer Of Manchester "Pals"
regiment which fought at Mametz and
elsewhere is now in a London hospital,
his life saved by the courage Of the
men who dashed through a curtain of
fire to his rescue when he fell help-
lessly wounded. "
He says that all the time the stretch
or bearers were doing things which
deserved the distinguished conduct
medal, and he told of at least one man
who he thinks has Won it. This is q
man so deaf that he was unfit for work
In the trenches. He was a cheerful
sort, and the men liked the queer
things that happened when he failed
to hear an order. '
Every one but the deaf man stood to-
He took no notice.
During the big battle he was ordered
to the clearing station just behind the
lines. but he spent the whole day un.
der the murderous fire Of the machine
guns and the artillery between the
first line trenches and shorter trench
far advanced in the most exposed part
OF the ground, picking up the wounded,
twisting them on to his broad back
and staggering back with them under
fire until he reached a place Of com
parative safety.
Then he went back into the thick of
1t again. He was the one man in that
to1ling, devoted company who did not
hear the awful clamor of the shells.
but calmly faced silent death. The
Pals whom he has so often amused
are now hoping that he will get the
medal he deserves. E.

Hates the Term "Nearo."

Il hate the term Negro because it
is being used in terms of hatred. It
is the cause of the segregation of the
Negro; it is being used in contempt
in public places; it is an excuse for
d1sfranchising him; and it is an ex-
cuse for lynching him. Only one,
tentn OF one per cent of the colored
people in America can. trace their
descent to Africa, and there is no
more right to call all colored people
Negroes than to call all white people
Turks or Armenians. ."-Ex-Assistan

since she found out why she hated

over her dislike OF this particular
