QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

Our Country msn's Patriotism Must Not
Be Judged by Sectional Sentiment.
In an article by r. K. McWo0dson
which appeared recently in the New
York Sun on the attitude of the north
ern and southern white people toward
the cOlored people as individuals and
as q race and whether the colored man
should fight for his country in case OF
war the writer says:
1t Is true that the black man Is no
more the pet of the north. There was
q time that he was, but 1t seems now
that he Is the pest" Of the south and
the puzzle Of the north. The southern
--ers may not be too nearsighted to see
the black mans future nor the north.
erners too farsighted to see his present
condition. But 1t does seem that nei-
Their north nor south has very much
sight when 1t comes to seeing the
black man in the right light. One is
prejudice blind. and the other Is color
blind.
The white people of the south see
too much Of him. and the white people
of the north see too little of him. and
as rule. the white people Of the north
Judge the black race by the few they
see in the northern cities. They must
60 south to see the black man. We
mean the majority of the progressive
black men and women. There are
many leaders in the north who are a
strong type Of the worth and value Of
the black mans genius.
The white people Of the south are
said to love the individual black man
and hate the black race and the north.
eFners to hate the individual and love
the race. And here We find the black
man again between two extremes. The
southerners see too much Of him and
the northerners see too little Of him.
The flrst blood shed for Americas In
dependence was by Crispus Attacks, a
! black man. In Boston. A question
: comes In my mind now: Should black
man shoulder q gun and 60 to war and
dght for this country, q country which
denies him the rights Of citizenship un
der q dag which offers him no protec-
tion. strips him of bis manhood by en-.
acting laws which keep him from the
ballot box, disfranchised. segregated.
Disseminated against, lynched. burned
at the stake, Jim crowed and disarm.
ed3 II he fights. and fight he must,
: for what does he fight?
Mr.. McWoodson's argument Is quite
logical, but the attitude Of white PEG.
pie north or south, whether favorable
or iunfavorable toward the coloIed
: race, cannot blot out its loyalty to Old
Glory. The Negro will continue to
