you, come here!" Or put it this way:
The northerner is a great friend of
the Negro but not of a Negro; the
southerner is great friend of Negro,
but not of the Negro.
Prof. Munsterberg once described
the race as passive at every turn of
fortune" yet within the last year
Negroes by the thousand have actively
undertaken to find place for them
selves. They have come north It
was huge mistake. They escape bar
barous punishment for their occasional
crimes while winning no appreciation
for their habitual virtues. They are
disliked. When their presence be-
comes burden, as at East St. Louis,
!; they are abused. ,s-
1t is on these terms only that they
enjoy the longed for "liberties of the
north'-its social equality" for in
stance. But do they really enjoy that?
Our observation goes to show that the
Negro is happiest whensthe white race
asserts its superiority, provided that
sympathy and understanding accom-
pany the assertion. Not long ago a
Virginian noticed a very gloomy black
porter in a northern hotel, and, learn.
ing that the Negro had come from
Virginia., said, "You - black
fool go back to Virginia!" The reply
revealed much: 20, Cunnel, denis de
fust kind wuds OATS been spoken to
me since All come up noff!"
Southerners insist that "the Niger
must be kept down. They enforce
the color line. Yet they will work side
by side with Negroes, befriend them
in adversely, and overlook their minor
failings. Gradually they are working
toward the results suggested in the
carton on this page. They do not hate
Negroes. In their heart they like
them. Said Dooley: "I'm naugh1
troubled whin the naygur is amon's,
his oppressors, Hinnessy.' What
throubles me is whin he falls into TIL
hands Nv his liberators."
In the same city where the forego
ing vomit was spewed up, Miss So
phronisba Breckenridge, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, Southern woman
and one of the famous Kentucky
family of Breckenridge, said:
1.-THE cry has gone up from large
number of people: What are we goine
to do with these dreadful men and
women who are coming to us from
the South? l say we should be here
to welcome them, to help them, to give
them chance to make Chicago a bet
ter home than they could find in the
South"

Commenting on the editorial in the
Richmond Planet, which is printed in
this issue, objecting to one of the
points in Dir. Frisselrs recent memo
rial, the Guardian says:
"Thus saith in very truth the Planet.
I'VE rise also to deny directly that
the quiet service lives of Booker
Washington or of Russo Motion Sc
cured recognition of rights. The most
striking thing about the race-leader-
ship career of DR.. Washington was
that coincident with it went the great
est period of loss of citizenship and
OF legal debarment from rights ever
known in any race and especially dur
ing the time DR.. Washington preached
most pronouncedly the doctrine of

quietly deserving rights. No further
exposition Of that matter by us is any
longer needed.

vivine the Booker WashingtUn-no-egi-
tation issue. DR.. Washington's own
friends do not relish or desire it"

Commends Protest by Guardian and
P'anet-Race Will Protest Till White
America Accords the Rights Which
Belong to Every American Citizen
Steady Decline of Riqhts Under
6.T. Washington Policy.
(From the Boston Guardian.)
Washington, D. c., May 1, 1917.
Dear Mr.. Trotter:-I have Just read
in the last issue of the Guardian your
editorial, including the editorial of Mr..
John Mitchell of the Planet, in which
ne administers very just and timely
rebuke to DR.. Frissell for some things
Which he says in the last issue of the
Southern Workman.
Rights Declined Under WASHINGTON.
1t is amazing that at this late day,
and after the STEADY DECLINE OF
OUR RIGHTS UNDER MR. WASH
|1NGTON'S POLICY of "quiet, unpre-
tentious service" that DR.. Frissel
should be- attempting to revive that
pern1clous, un-American, unmanIv.
heresay Of quiet. submission to wronu.
What God directed his prophet to do
was: "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up
thy voice like a trumpet, and declare
unto my people their transgression,
and the house of Jacob their SINS
And that is what we have been doing.
ana will continue to do, until White
America needs the message, turns
from it's evil ways and accords to the
colored man the rights which Justly
belongs to him as much as to any
other American citizen.
Let Frisse'I Understand Once and for
All Time.
DIR. Frissell had just as well under.
stand now, once for all, that the policy
Tor which he stands, as regards our
rights, will never be accepted by the
colored man. And the incubation of
such a policy comes with very little
grace from white men who never
think of following it when their own
rights are involved.
Think CoIored Unlike Whites.
? 1t is because, after all, they think
that the Negro is made of little diff
ferent clay. and therefore that it is
alright FOR HIM TO QUIETLY SUR
NIT TO WHAT WHITE MEN
WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO
SUBMIT TO, AND, WOULD NOT
SUBMIT TO WITHOUT THE MOST
PROTEST?
Put Themselves In Our, Place.
If some of our white friends would
put themselves in the place of the
colored man, and realize that there is
no essential difference between the
colored man and themselves, they
would be saved from some of the fool
lsh things which, they recommend at
times
Let the Agitation Go On.
Let the Planet, let the Guardian. let
all the colored newspapers, continue
to speak out, and, in every other legiti-
mate way, LET THE AGITATION GO
ON. 1t is in vain for DR.. Frissell, or
any one else to try to stop it.
Yours for equality of rights for all
regardless of race or condi-
lion.

MARKET CRUMBLEs.

New York, Jan. 4.-The stock mar
ket today after two days of advancing
prices, based on a belief that pros
poets for peace We're waning, crum-
pied on reports that further negotia-
tons would be undertaken at Wash
ington to bring the belligerent powers
into accord The market during the
forenoon was irregular with heavy
tone which seemed to be unexplain-
able and mysterious.
During the noon hour, however,
prices broke from to 6 points and
continued to fall off after the publ
cation of Washington dispatches say
ing that the administration was con-
templating one more step in the peace
negotiations.
United States Steel was the central
feature in the selling movement, de-
clining over points from its high
prices of the first hour. Other indus
trials of the same group were SINH
larly affected.
Apprehension was heightened by
the heaviness of Mexicans, oils, and
American Smelling, which fell to Z
points. Shipping shares also yield
ed sharply and rails were off to 2
points.
Rallies of 1 TO points were scored
in the later dealings when the mar.
ket became relatively dull.

THE MARKETS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Jan. 4.-The cotton
market opened today with an unset
tied tone. Around the first call
prices gained to Z points, cables be-
ing better than due, but Immediately
after offerings increased and values
fell off. At the end of the first half
hour of business the market stood
to 10 points under yesterdays close.
For a while the market was de-
pressed by the rumored private bu-
reau forecast of 100000 bales
ginned to the end of December, but
gradually strength was gained on re-
ports of a better spot demand in
the central and eastern belts. Toward
noon the old crops were at about the
level of yesterdays close to Z points
over.
The one featurc of the afternoon
was the strength of October. The
demand for that position carried the
price 10 points over yesterdays close
in the trading up to 1:30. At that
time other active months were 2
points over.
Spot cotton steady and unchanged.
Middlnig, 17.13. Sales on the spot,
500; to arrive, $40.
Cotton closed steady at an advance

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. 1.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an
advance of S to z points in response
to relatively steady cables with July
selling at 1888 on the call. There
was scattered realizing, however,
while a few selling orders also ap-
peared to be reaching here from
New Orleans, and the market turned
easier after the opening with July
easing o: to TITS, or about points
net lower.
Bul1ish Southern spot advices
steadied the market after the early
setback, and prices rallied to about
last nights closing figures, with July
holding around 1882 at midday.
Trading continued very quiet dur
ing the early afternoon, and there
was little further change in prices,
which ruled within a point or two of
last nights closing figures.

WHEAT REACTED.

Chicago, Jan 4.-Skepticism about
the advisability Of following up r.
cent advance scored within 4s hours
led to a bearish reaction today in
the wheat market here. Even the bull
leaders who had been advocating
price level Of 81 bushel, conceded
that the advance had been too rapid.
Peace possibilities and submarine ac-
tivity tended also to induce profit
taking by holders and to provoke
short selling.
