THE DEMAND

Ehe Negroes coming North must
eet the issue fairly; many are NOV
ing North because they say wages are
beta. True. Those coming must
prove themselves as proficient as
those who have preceded them. Be
prepared and efficient and meet the
issue squarely by doing well your
part. If you cannot you must go
down as all of those who have not
made thorough preparation to do
their part. The race has made a
splendid beginning, but we could have
done more had we long learned the
lesson of preparedness and efficiency.
Preparedness and efficiency are the
watchwords; and the race or people
that is leading the world today is
the race that is putting into practice
these basic truths. Without this
there is no real progress. Let the Ne
gro prepare and qualify to do the
work as well as anybody else; for
then, and not until then can we hope
to come into our own and receive the
same consideration that those who
are PREPARED and EFFICIENT.
The Negro is fortunate, and now
that the closed doors of opportunity
are swinging open to him he should
enter now without fear and trembling
to show the Americans, that, they
have unjustly denied Americas loyal
citizens the privilege to learn his
bread by the sweat of his BROW and
to enjoy it under his own vine and
fig tree.
FORGET YOUR COLOR. The de-
mand of the age is efficiency. DE-
LIVER THE GOODS! And the Ne
gro will. take leading place in the
rank of labor.

MoNTGoMERY's PREDICTIONS.

Senator Bennett, of Viroqua, Yer
non County, has introduced in the
Legislature, a bill prohibiting the
marriage of white persons and ne
groes under penalty of Imprisonment.
This is the second time within the
past four years that such a measure
has been offered. the former bill hav-
ing been killed in committee. An eff
fort is now being made to arouse the
white and colored people who believe
in personal liberty, to oppose the pass
age of this bill
We prophesy that the Bennett bill
will end like the first representative
from Wood County some years ago.
He represented a similar bill and the
last we heard of him was that he
committed suicide in Marshfield,
Wisconsin. Wood County.
The next representative from Por-
tage County introduced the same bill,
but was fortunate enough to have a
rat bite him on one of his toes and
he died of blood poisoning in the Com
mittee Room, so that ended the bill.
The way of the transgressors are
hard.

Poverty is not an exact state. Many

ers. lacking much that is usually
thought necessary, feel rich that they
have health and family love. They
make the best of every chance good
that comes. When anyone's purse will
not provide sufficient food or cloth
ing, or shelter, we call him poor. He
may be rich in wealth of heart. One
may. indeed, call himself poor if he
has no friends. but this is poverty
for which he himself is probably to
blame. There is poverty of mind
also. but Of this one seldom hears
complaint If an idea loes not come
to one that he suffers such lack,
let him hasten to apply the remedy
that is within his reach. There is
stll 4 worse poverty, poverty of
heart. If one has no sympathy with
those who suffer in need, he is poor,
indeed lacking the richest that brings
the truest joy. When one can close
his eyes, or ears. or heart, to an APP
peal Of real suffering, his is poverty
OF which to be ashamed. When ones
heart never swells with gratitude,
when 1t never goes out to his friends
or neighbors, or his country or his
God, he is poor indeed.

THE BENNETT BILL

The Negroes of this state should
lend their efforts morally and fnan-
cially to help defeat the pernicious
intermarriage bill introduced by one
Senator Bennett of Verona. The pres
ent bill is more drastic than any of
the previous ones, providing punish
ment for any who may marry in an
other state and come to Wisconsin to
live. We are looking up the Senator's
record and hope to report in full on
him in our next issue. Such legisla-
ton as this will lead to the passing
OF laws that will discriminate against
the Negro along all lines. We call
upon the citizens of Milwaukee to
send DeReff and Thurman to join
the Blade in its fight to have this un-
just legislation killed in the commit
tee room. We have many good
friends in both branches of the House
who will aid US in this fight for FAIR
PLAY.

Greatness of Douglass.

Douglass was the great Colored
Abolitionist. An escaped slave, ne

his centenary should be the signal fo
his people to rally to the standard of
our race for rights denied because OF
our race.
