NEGROES IN THE NORTH

Northern whites Of a certain sort
are mighty fond Of the negro when
he is far away in the South, where
they imagine he is ground down I'M
der the heel Of oppression and never
allowed a chance; but they can't stand
the negro except at distance. For
the nameless crime against white wo-
men negroes are sometimes lynched
in the South, and then Northern pa
pers print columns and pages Of
lurid stuff by the sob squad. But
an outbreak in the South is always
against the particular negro who has
committed a horrible crime, land new
er against the race. IN the North
it is different. When a Northern
mob goes after the black man it
goes after him collectively, and no
negro is safe. Mobs in East St.
Louis, H., lately have made that an
unsafe place for any man or woman
with a black skin. Negroes have
gone to the North in droves~ during
the past year, drawn by high wages,
and in this Illinois town many OF
them have been killed by mobs that
resent the importation Of negroes to
fill jobs. Mobs started out in that
town Monday to kill and burn and the
Toll of negro lives and Of property
was heavy. White girls even JOIN
ed in the festivities, in some instan-
ces dragging negro women from
street cars and beating them. Ne
groes who imagine they are going to
get on easy street, with high wages
and little work, by going North, are
sure Of rude awakening if they are
not put to sleep for good by some
frenzied mob. The South is the place
for the negro. He gets better treat
ment in the South than anywhere
else on earth.
