tons of civility before becoming the victor,
such as knocking at the door and saying,
good morning, and then follow up with
"Chrstmas gift," yet it was often very
perplexing to decide, which one had actu
ally won, but a few minutes good time was
the result, it mattered not which was the
victor and the older heads served good
things to eat to all in Difference of the oc-
casion, which consisted of cake, home made
wine and frequently a glass of eggnog.
TO the southerner, who lives in the North,
Christmas comes and Christmas goes, and
yet no Christmas has come. The quiet
Christmas is all right and is the true spirit
of keeping the day, they fully realize but
he occasionally longs for Christmas such
as the South used to have But even in
the South the spirit of celebrating Christ
man day has undergone a most radical
change and the commercial spirit instead of
the spirit Of good cheer seems to prevail
It was last Christmas when one of the lead
ing magazines of the country, with some
thing like million subscribers, spoke of
the great change that had come over the
people Of the South. as to their method of
celebrating Christmas day. The colored folk
of the South, it declared, instead Of shout
ing "Christmas gift" to their neghbors,
were exchanging valuable presents and
visiting each others homes in high class
touring cars and limousines. Many of the
more thrifty were accused of making their
families presents Of three thousand dollar
cars for Christmas gift
The present world wide war has to an
extent loosened that spirit of extravaganza
but it is suspected that in the South many
valuable Christmas presents will be ex-
changed next Tuesday by persons, whose
parents gave but slice of cake and a
stick of candy to the one who caught his

THAT BUTCHERS STRIKE

The butchers strike in Seattle. like the
longshoremen's has proved a Godsend for
the colored citizens of this citv. as great
numbers OF them are now employed at the
slaughter houses at good wages It is re-
ported that something like twenty-five col
ored women are already at work at the
slaughter houses drawing salaries of not less
than twelve dollars per week and twice that
many men are employed at salaries ranging
from three to five dollars per day. It's an
i'll wind that blows no one good. and that
what organized labor casts away inorganic
ed black folks are making a good thing of
It. Seattle has been the scene of good
many different kinds Of strikes among union
labor workers during the year now about
closing, and only few of them have been
settled without the black man profftine
thereby: Organized labor will some dav
realize It's mistake in drawing the color line
on the Negro of the United States and it will
be glad to invite him into their councils.
The black man, however, even then had
better make haste slowly in entering the
councils OF war with organized labor for.
on the whole, it's treacherous bunch. when
1t comes to dealing squarely with the black
man. and the least the black man has to do
with the organization the better for him at
least as it is now run.

CHRISTMAS-DAY OF DAYS

Next Tuesday is Christmas day and, in
the minds Of a great majority of the
peoples of this world, their religious be-
liefs to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
the greatest day of the year. The Jew and
the Gentile the Turk and the Hindu, one
and all alike, felicitate that day. In
short it is world holiday, and the only
one that is looked forward to by all ma
tionalities and most religionists. Of course
those who do not accept the doctrines of
Jesus Christ have no religious sympathies
for the day but they have commercialized
it, and in order to increase their sales,
they, to an extent, enter into the spirit of
the occasion and find themselves as eagerly
looking forward to the day as the most
jealous Christian.
Fifty odd years ago the writer was
kiddie living in the state of Mississippi
where Christmas embodied the patriotism Of
the community as well as it's Christianity
and while the young bloods let off their
long pent up patriotic ardor with roaring
guns and footing horns the older heads
either gathered at the church houses for
worship or spent the most of the day in
prayer and thanksgiving. While it was
wicked to- work on Sundays, yet it was, in
the eyes Of a great majority Of the people
living thereabouts, an objectionable sin to
do any labor on Christmas day, and only
; the worst of sinners" participated in
dances on that night.
Yes, the most Of the folks exchanged
Christmas gifts such as they were, but the
gifts were without value and for the most
part consisted in the cunningness of each
to be the first to shout, "Christmas gift!''
to the other fellow. The one that got caught
had nothing to give, save a hearty laugh
and Christmas t1lssle but that to the most
of them was worth more than valuable
present bought from store. On the plan
tation, where we lived, there were about
twenty-five families and it is safe to say
that ten dollars would have covered the
cost of every thing they had extra for
Christmas. aside from the food they had
prepared for the occasion. 1t was the spirit
of the day that furnished the presents for
each and every one and the gifts of ex-
change were drawn from the fountains of
good cheer
The men, women and children all slept
Christmas eve night with one eye open and
both ears close to the ground, in order to
be on the alert for the "Christmas gift
catchers" who began to steal up to the
doors of their neighbors while the morning
-Ars were yet shining and while the one on
