OUR NEED OF JUxrAPOSITIoN

That we much rather be, and asso

Colored Americans that has become
almost trite. That is a mistake; it

tween two races, it has increased
race hatred AMI antagonism in leaps
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach-
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that it only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
for us to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably follow.
We have followed this advice" fat:i::
fully and have been rewarded In
terms OF residence segregation, street
segregation, confscation and loss of
property, anti-intermarriage-which is
all OF the blacklist pieces of legis-
latton, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy of white
brutes - separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from mon
resistance" and rather be by our
selves" That with the same degree
OF effontry and terrible legislation
with which our property is taken and
confscated, with this same effontry
and legislation will our political and
manhood rights be taken from us.

Americans than by being lectured or
instructed. It would bring men to-
gether in common movement.
II do not really favor the holding of
meetings in which the difference be-
tween American born citizens and nat
uralized citizens is emphasized. In
fact, feel that we ought to get rid
of the hyphen in America at once and
for all time. Any meeting in which it
is part of the program calls atten-
ton to it. do not really favor any
reference to the term Swedish-Ameri-
can. I think every man who came
from Sweden ought to forget the n.y.
phen. 1t is true that those who come
from Sweden have many tender recol-
lections of the old country and also
that they are among the quickest to
adopt American ways fully and COM
pletely. For the latter reason should
like to see the Swedish part of the
term dropped. I think it would be
dropped quickly, too, were it not for
some men who try to make political
capital out of it by playing to the
so-called 'hyphenated' vote.
"Foreigners in America should be
quietly made Americans through edu-
cational method, by patriotic concerts
in the parks and patriotic meetings on
occasions of national moment. The
group meetings should be discour-
aged"
Mr.. Anderson is right. People who
come here and become citizens ought
to drop the hyphen and become Ameri-
cans in fact. And if this is true how
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.

AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE,

There is always rejoicing in hell
when the South succeeds. ~
The regions of the damned were the
scene of great hilarity when the word
was passed around that the Southern
plan of reuniting the Methodist church
north and the Methodist church south
had been unanimously approved, with
a display of emotion without parallel
in many general conferences" !,
The plan favors the segregation of
the colored membership in special
conferences" and as the vote was &C.
cording to the press dispatches, unani-
nous, it seems that not one of the
many colored delegates had the man
hood to make a protest against the
unholy, ungodly plan.
Thus seventy-one years after the
Methodist Episcopal church split on
the slavery question, the hypocritical
northern branch welcomes back the
church south over the PROSTATE body
of it's colored membership. If that is
Christianity the writer prefers to be
damned
The Methodist church fought slav-
cry with zeal in 1874, the general con-
ferences by resolution ordered a
bishop who held slaves to refrain from
exercising his episcopal function until
he had washed his hands of slavery.
The Southerners were so Infatuated
by this action that the Methodist Epis-
copal church south was organized in
Louisville, KY, in 1916.
In agreeing to draw the color line
on it's colored membership the Metho.
dist church is following the lead of
other so-called Christian bodies in the
United States. The alleged Chris
tians are defying God, but He is not
Knocked.
The probable eventual solution of
the color line in religion will be the
Introduction of Northumberland into

God and the Brotherhood of Man" and
welcomes all men to it's folds. And
of the Methodist bishops, Bishop Hart
zell has declared that the NOLAN.
medan negroes in Africa are superior
in every way to those who have EN-.
braced Christianity and this in the
face of the fact that he was laboring
zealously to propagate Christianity.

No one can be said to know any
class OF people who has not been in

the best as well as the worst of the
class. We compare many persons
who live in the South, and think they
know the colored race, with others
who have had no such contact, but
who have come into intimate and SYM
pathetic relations with large numbers
OF that race whom their Southern
friends have never known; and of the
two sets of people we should say that
the second knew the colored people

Hates the Term "Neqro."

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
dlsfranchising him; and it is an ex-
cuse for lynching him. Only one
tenth 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
