BERT WILLIAMS CAN'T UNDERSTAND RACE
 PREJUDICE

Bert Williams, the famous colored comedian has written article for the January American Maga- zine in which he says:
 People sometimes ask if I would not give anything to be white. 1 answer, in the words of the song, most emphatcally, "No!" How do I know what might be if l a white man? I might be a sand-h -hog burrowing away and losing my health for eight dollars day. I might be @ street-car conductor at twelve fifteen dollars week. There is many white man less fortunate and less equipped than I In truth have never been able to dis that there anything disgraceful in being venent-in America
 How many times have hotel keepers said to me, T know you, Williams, and like you and I would like nothing better than to have you stay here but you have southern gentlemen in the house and they would object"
 Frankly can't understand what it is all about.
 breathe like other people, eat like them-f you put at dinner table you be reasonably sure that I won't the ice cream fork for my salad; I think like other people. guess the whole trouble must be that don't look like them They say it is a matter of prejudice. But if it prejudice a baby would have it, and you will find it in a baby It has to be inculcated on people. For thing I noticed that this race prejudice' is not to be found in people who enough of their position be able to defy it. For example the kindest most courteous, most democratic I ever met was the king of England, the late King Edward VII
