be much greater than if there never

deeper into the minds of all people.

Last Sunday afternoon largely at
tended citizens meeting was held in
the parlors of the Appomattox Club
and the following resolution, intro
duced by Julius F. Taylor, was adopted
by unanimous rising vote:
"Be it resolved by the citizens
meeting herein assembled in the parlors
of the Appomattox Club that it should
take some immediate action and con-
denim and rebuke DR.. Charles P. Cald-
well, president of the board of directors
of the Municipal tuberculosis Santa
rum, for his recent outrageous, shame
less and reprehensible treatment award
ed to DR.. Roscoe C. Giles and DR.. Leo
English.
"Be it further resolved by this citi-
zens' meeting that it is an act of gross
injustice to compel the Colored people
of Cook county to pay several hundred
thousands dollars each year in taxes
helping to maintain the various public
charitable institutions in this county
and then permit the charity patients,
many of them representing the off
spring of the scum of the European
countries, some of them being utterly
unable to speak one word of the Eng
lish language correctly, to draw the
color line thereby insulting the law
abiding, intelligent and progressive
Colored people and reminding them
that not one of their most highly edu-
Gated physicians should be permitted
to administer to the wants of charity
patients who are a public charge upon
all the people, both White and Colored
alike residing in Cook county"
For it has been wisely said that
White men have never objected to Col
ored women, fguratively speaking they
have ever welcomed them with open
arms. But when it came to a question
of their brothers, husbands, sweet
hearts, there was another song to sing,
another tale to tell, for the doors of
opportunity were generally closed,
locked and the key thrown away, all
on account of "color!'' OF course the
fimsiness of this silly pretext is appar-
ent to all intelligent people. Whether
in the prize ring, or any other lines of
human endeavor, however debased or
however elevated, people only bar from
competition those they fear. No man
ever hesitates to fight or compete with
another, regardless of race, religion or
complexion, when he knows that he
can win. Can it be possible that
jealousy, "the old green-eyed mon
ster,' is the father of those products
of modern Christianity. Grace Preju-
dice,'' Grace Problems and "the
Color line"2
The Colored citizens of Chicago
should march in mass to the city hall
and request Mayor William Hale
Thompson to remove DR.. Charles c.
Caldwell from his present position, for
he is chuck full of bitter race prejudice
and he has not the slightest conception
of fair play and justice. He is there
for n rank enemy to society, law and
order and a stumbling block in the way
of progress and civilization.

it is a profound truth, that no road

chosen real estate No man of ordin-
airy income should neglect to invest a

young man who makes payment on

payments, will not throw his money
away feelishly. A liability of that
