MEAN LITTLE THRUsTs STING

Words Which Were Merely
Spoken "in Fun."

What good do you get out Of Civ
ing people mean ME thrusts? II
this is the sort of thing you enjoy,
there is something wrong in your
makeup. There is a spot in your
heart which is morally decayed.
Its badness may not cause YOU to
become positively dangerous, but
you have within you some of the
same quality of cruelty which makes
the heather hang men up by the
thumbs, because hey enjoy the suf.
fering of their victims.
The hurts you indict are mental.
The barbarian fortunes are physical.
Mental anguish is more painful than
physical hurt. It cuts deeper and
lasts longer.
You may think that the one who
is the butt Of your remarks does not
feel them deeply; but you know how
sensitive You IRE to similar thrusts.

Philadelphia, Pa.,- More
than 5000 Negroes from
Georgia and other Southern
states have been brought to
this city within the past few
weeks by the Pennsylvania
railroad officials in an effort
to solve the labor problem.
Two thousand men arrived
last week and, are being sub
jeeted to the physical exam
ination required by the rules
of the road. Most of them
will be put to work on the
Pennsylvania grain elevator
at Girard point.
Agents Of the railroad have
been at work in various south
ern cities more than a month
and all have had trouble with
the authorities. most of which
is cleared up, according TO Of
icials of the road here.
These agents have been hir-
ing Negroes ranging in age
from sixteen to sixty years
for unskilled work. offering
from so to 81 day.
The railroad has discover
ed that it will not end labor
shortage merely to import
enough men for the immedi- :
ate esed -4a-she-6ese-baee
brought from the South about
a month ago. 200 or 900 men
secured through southern EN-.

and that they will stay on
the job instead of quitting
as soon as they get a little
money ahead.

features were the devotionals
led by our energetic L. c.
Bassett, of Colorado Springs,
who simply carried Denver
away by his musical activity.
Miss Alpha A. Bratton of Chi

musical impression that the
latch string of Denver always
is on the outside for her re-
turn. Miss Bratton has a
wonderfully sweet. penetrat-

uses it with perfect ease ex-

WILSON'S BALM OF
G|LEAD.

or all the blows and blum
ders with which Woodrow
Wilson has. beaten the plod :
ding progressive colored cit
liens of this country, his lat
est is undoubtedly his great
est. He has at last done the
"hne big thing" in his recog-
milton Of the race which he
promised at the outset Of his
administration. At the elev-
enth hour before the election
he placates an entire people
by rising in the majesty of his
presidential power and sus-
pending the civil service laws
appoints the wife of the lead
ing colored Democrat of the
nation and a bishop OF the
African Methodist Church to
a hundred dollar. a month
position. Oh, what unspeak-
able shame must cover and
confuse the bishop. broken in
health and disgraced by the
disastrous blows which his
party's leader has dealt his
trusting race! Oh. in what
low esteem the prejudiced
President must hold the in
telligence and dignity of the
black race! OF all the odori-
ferrous sap that the Bourbon
In TIE WhSte House has given
the American people to cum
ningly cover his crimes against
them, this is the foulest and
most foolish. We cannot be-
lieve that the great Zion
Church will see one of its bis
hops so humiliate himself and
his position. We cannot be-
lieve that drawing the salary
that he does that he can or
will plead poverty as a pre-
text for permitting his better
half to so debase her race by
accepting such a crumb
thrown to her race in scora
and contempt. The Presi-. :.
dents action is past under
standing. Surely this cannot
be the measure of the race
which any intelligent Ameri-
can school could have of the
progress Of the race. The
White House has sought to
give wide publicity to this last
generous act Of the admins
tration toward the race. The
colored people can wish moth
ing better than that the world
should see to what depths the
Woodrow Wilson Southern
regime is seeking to degrade
colored citizens. The wife a
bishop, the helpmeet of the
national leader of colored
Democrats is given a hundred
dollar a month job two
months before election to
soothe and secure a race which |
his party, as far as it has been
possible. has segregated, dis
franchised :and prosecuted.
This is Woodrow Wilson's
balm of Gilead. Its nauseous
strength fumes rises to high
heaven. forcing black men
everywhere. without regard
to party, to- defeat.
