Colored folks, practice self-respect
and you will find that it will cause
other people to respect you.
Leaders who lead right have a hard
time of it now.. Leaders who lead
wrong will have hard time of it
hereafter.
Quarrelsome folks are an abomi-
nation, and yet, many other colored
folks delight apparently in making
quarrelsome colored folks quarrel
The hoodlum white elements are
now after the colored people who are
higher up, and the better class of
white people are having the time Of
their lives in protecting this class of
colored people.
Colored folks should be careful of
their conduct. We are usually judged
by the conduct of the lower elements
rather than by the achievements of
the higher elements amongst us. This
should not be SO, but we should rec
ognize existing tendencies and con
ditions and act accordingly
Colored youngsters and colored
girls, who are Overlooking on the
streets of the city, should learn the
rules of propriety to the extent of
staying at home.
Respect the respectable people in
your community, both white and col
ored, and the respectable people in
your community, both white and col
ored, will respect you.

FOR GODS SAKE STOP
WHINING.

The Negro above all other races and
nationalities appreciates every effort
that is put forward in his behalf,
and feels doubly thankful when some
thing is done to help better his condi-
ton, and he is glad when one Of his
race is in a position TO do something
for him. But the Negro should not
forget while fighting for "his rights
and Justice" and making great de-
mands that he is a part and parcel
of the body polite and is not race
part from it. AS soon as the Negro
stops whining, as soon as the Negro
learns that he is but a working force
that must climb as others have climb
ed. and fight in the same way others
have fought by thoroughly building up
within the ranks Of his own first, by
owning homes, getting education, etc,
the better it will be for the race. Or
course we want every right the Con-
stitution Of these United States guar
antees to us, and some day we Will
have them, but we cannot hope Tor
them or get them by always whining
ar bickering on social issues, stirring
up strife. and accusing the othe. fell
low of crimes we simetimes commit
ourselves in proportion to our own
inter-racial fitness for the society OF
each other. Let the Negro 20 ahead
along the line on which he is not ham
pered. Let him increase his wealth,
his knowledge, and his worth. Let
him rely more upon himself and de-
velop more within himself. We are a
patient, tolerant people and time Is
proving that we are not without IN
herent capabilities which must some
day. somewhere, lead US to the full
endowment of freeman's right. Let
us arm ourselves with greater cour-
age, nobIer endeavors and more de-
termined zeal for the accomplishment
Of these results.
1t is to be hoped that America will
make itself so respectable and COM
handing as to open the door to this
down-trodden, despised and rejected
race. Where sovereigns are clothed
with Justice and humanity and the
innocent and oppressed shall be
heard and find friends to defend
their cause, a land unbinds the
shackled limbs and a law that knows
only the deeds of men regardless OF
their color and previous condition.
Let it be remembered that behind 1t
all is an unseen commander. He who
said Righteousness exalted Nation
but sin is the reproach of any people.
Out of the wilderness, out of the
night
Has the black man crawled to the
dawn of light.
He has come through the valley OF
great despair
He has borne what no white man ever
can bear.
He has come through sorrow and
pain and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know
to know

kins. The team will be pleased TO
have anyone interested come and see
the excellent progress.
Dramatics are we'll advanced and
several good plays Will be presented
to the people of Montpelier. Each
play presented will be worthy of the
peoples patronage.
Debating commences the first
week in November. Each class will
have strong teams and there is at
present possibility OF a debating
league being formed, composed OF
teams from Montpelier, Paris. Alton
and Kemmerer.
