PREJUDICE

No people on earth know better than
the colored people of this country do,
what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus
in the New York Times has some idea
of it. He says.
1T is easy to create, it is hard to
destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak OF
wisdom. It's perceptions are false. It
sees in darkness; it is blind in the
light. It nutures lies and rejects truth
Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy.
It rules those who give it life. It is
a conjured F'rankenstein, dominating
millions of men. 1t sits beside the
gates Of life and takes toll of all that
pass. 49,
1T is the conservator of all that rea-
son would destroy, the destroyer of
the works of justice. It is the hand
maiden of error, the nemesis of knowl-
edge. It feeds fear and poisons hope.
It lives by the law of the dead. It
CAAAASO0 uPOAA CAO 1uCcC VI y OSL0Iudy.
It sickens on the sustenance of to-
day.
1T is the anarchist of the heart. It
smothers faith. It gives love to the
torch. It bemeans benevolence and
shuns communion. It stills the sound
of music and palsies the hand of art.
It betrays belief and sets suspicion on
a throne. It rejoices in tears. It's
mirth is in misery.
, 1T is the monster of the mind It
pollutes thought, serves despair, and
ravishes right. It offends against fact
and is a stranger to logic. It's soothing
is in sophistry. It divines the unreal
and walks in the way of phantoms. It
drains the potions brewed by witches
of the brain. It is thing of charms
and amulets.
1T is prejudice!"

A REAL PHlLANTHROPIsr

One of the most pleasing things we
have heard of lately is contained in
the will Of the late Andrew Freed man
of New York, the bachelor who left
an estate valued at 100000, the
bulk of which is to be used even
tually for the establishment of a.
home for, the aged on original lines
which the founder himself had for
mulated. It will be known as the
Andrew Freedman Home. It will re-
celve aged persons in INDECENT cir
cumstances without regard to race,
sex or creed, and especially will it
care for old couples who, in the even
ing Of life might otherwise be forced
to live apart. Mr.. Freedman selected
twenty-four persons, who will be re-
Quested to act as trustees of the
home. They represent various races
and religions and their selection
shows that the testator intended that
the institution should have a repre-
sentative board. Mr.. Freedman, evil
IDENTIFY, belongs in Ben Adhem's class.

Mr.. F. D. McCracken, formerly the

tinguished service during the year in
any field of honorable or elevated en-
deavor. The medal is given by DR..
j. E. Spingarn of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People and it's award may well
be considered the most distinguished
recognition one can receive in this
prejudice cursed, country.
It will be remembered that the first
medal was awarded last year to Dr.
Edward E. Just a professor in Harvard
University Medical School, for dis
tinguished results in biological re-
search.

WILSON UNFIT FOR PRESIDENT
Resolutions Adopted by the National
Equal Rights League at 9th Annual
Meeting in Philadelphia, Dec. ,12-
49, 1915.

Resolved, that we appeal to all
patriotic citizens north and south,
east and west, to realize the malig-
nant design Of plays slandering the
Colored people and misrepresenting
reconstruction, and to oppose produc-
ton OF such on the American stage.
we commend the opposition to such
plays, especially by the colored citi-
zens in Boston and Philadelphia at
the theatre.
Resolved, that by his endorsement
OF the segregation of clerks for color
IN the Treasury and Post Office De-
partments, President Woodrow Will
son broke his prediction pledge to
colored voters, violated the spirit of
the federal constitution, and espoused
the perpetuation of race prejudice.
No such man is worthy to sit in the
seats OF Washington and Lincoln:
That we appreciate the efforts of
all individuals and kindred civic or
CARNATIONS to this League, working
for the same cause. We extend greet
ings to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
the Wendell Phillips Memorial Asso-
citation, the Northeastern Federation
and National Association Of, Colored
Women's Clubs and the Constitution
League. ~
That the decision of the United
States Supreme Court against the
Grandfather Clause is the most not
able event of the half-century year
of freedom. We urge the disfran-
chised colored citizens of the South
to apply for registration to vote and
contest in the federal courts when
denied
That we thank the colored citi-
zens. who carried the Oklahoma jim
Grow Car case and the Oklahoma
and Annapolis, Nd, suffrage cases to

cess and endorse our League dele
cation in it's refusal to accept Presi-
dent Wilson's endorsement of federal
segregation.

DANIELS DOUBTED.

Said Secretary of the Navy Daniels
at Washington recently, at fraternal
night ceremonies: -:
IT pray to God that the day will
come in Methodism when there will
not have to be any fraternal' night,
The Secretary added that he hoped
that the day would come when there
would be no Northern or Southern
Methodist churches, but there will be
but one church. 81.
Of course he did not exactly mean
that. What he meant to say was that
he hoped the time would come when
there will be but one WHITE church
and that the yellow, black, red and
brown Christians be forbidden to
enter.
