We have never known two injus-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with white man
when question arises between him
and one of our color;' still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne.
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.
