PREJUDICE Is BORN OF IG-

The civilized world viii never know
what the ColOred race has to suffer just
because it is colored. The cireum-
stances and conditions over which our
race has no control multiplies the
anomaly of the situation. No other
race could have survived the Rying
ordeals, tyranny and oppression with
which we have been vrung through two
and q half centuries With sore and
bleeding feet and with only minimum
Of faith in the oppressOr, and less en-.
cOursgement to face the future than
any other people on earth, we are burn
ing all our bridges behind us because We
don't wish to ever 60 back over the
pitfalls and ugly ehasms We had to
cross to reach the high ground Of n
noble humanity, Hereafter We don't
intend To-. suffer any such treatment
which has been given rs, and We are
not going to bow low to anybody for
the great things we propose to get, and
we are not going TO gel. them by asking

Scene: On q State street ear between

because said young -cOlored woman
would not bulge an inch, nor give up
the ugly position she was in She be-
came the subject of jeers- from others
who were compelled to stand. Nobody
had the nerve 10 say anything to her
while she sat cross legged in the middle
Of the seat. Ever and anon she tossed
her head, rolled her eyes, and acted a.
II she was mad. She was not sick, not
intoxicated, and we do not believe she
was really mean, but my she must have
been densely signorant--too ignorant,
really, to be nice. Where could she
have come FRONT We have never seen
anything In our lives quite like this.
What is to be saidf What can be saidi
This young Colored woman, or lady,
or something else; is capable Of doing
the entire race lot of harm by such
foolish and daredevil nonsense. I

TRUST GOD.
By Or. N. A. Majors.

When you've shot at the mark and
missed the bull'seye,
OF course you want to hear the gong.
But by shooting right on if you're not
too shy, %,
The bell may ring ERE long.
Don't get in your nut that failure is
due,
And that you have done your best.
You must think of the guys who win
point at you;
Holy Gee, come poke out your chest.
You are not all in till you've closed
your eye;
Til you've turned up your toes for
the sod,
And maybe not then If you're not too
,s shy
To play your last trump: "Trust
-si- God" s'-
You should never admit that quitting
was wise,
That the game was uniueky and
tough,
That you got q cold deal; if the spark Is
in your eye, 49,.
You'll win yet, rTrust Cod" that s
enough.

famous dsviltry, but the good in the
individual win triumph in the end. The
progress of our race abundantly attest
to this fact.
People must surely arrive at this
truth. The great white race high on itu
mission Of civilization can not carry
forward the world work without carry
ing along the Negro rsee. The infany
of It's newspapers, the ugly sings and
seufs at the PROSTATE, helpless Negro
win only arrest temporarily our redemP-
ton. The siekly, maudlin sentiment of
White editors, and writers Of magazines
who misstate facts to build up foolish
faneies, and the lying and misrepre-
sentation of individuals now too num-
erous who delight in the hilarity of the
mistaken ideas and notions concerning
Us win be run over by the Overwhelm-
ing surprises Of our racial status when
the true facts become fully revealed to
them.
So we reiterate, q great many peO-
pie believe all they read, and q great
many people believe all they hear, while
on the contrary there are q great many
people who believe only the very fine
truths and none of the fslsities of
people.

HAVING FALSE IDEAS Built UP
ON EALsE szErnGNr.

A great nany people believe every.
thing they hear. A great many people
believe everything they read. There
are on the contrary, q great many
people who do not believe only the very
fine truths, and more Of the falsities
of people, and then there are q great
many people who are not eager to be-
hsve everything they read, and dis
credit the cheap sentiment and mouth
ings of the gcssiper and the disgruntied.
People do aequaint themselves of our
virtues but they are slow TO extol them
like Anthony over the grave of great
Caesar. There is q mOnkey-wreneh in
the running gear Of the brain of most of
our best friends. It is not jealousy,
not quite envy and it cannot properly
be called selfshness, it is likely that our
language is not quite complete, or else
some one would step forward with the
missing word that is 50 greatly needed
70 use when We fail to register up to
the measurement that just suits our
friends, 50 they need not boast Of our
knowing them so very well, don I you
knowf
Well, it is not good idea to know
too much about our friends, nor know
them 50 very intimately.
The principle has always been q good
one, and to know few people truly well
Is always helpful and inspiring to noble
friendship. It win hardly do for the
present modern day. People regard old
friendships just =ss they do anything
else that may be shopworn. In, this
busy no ron . baby era Of eiviIiza-
ton, when every fellow is after the
things that give him the most pleasure
or profit when the commercial struck

Mr.. Baker was enthusiastic in his
praise of the American troops in
France. He described how he saw
part of the fighting of st. Mihiel
from a hill and told of the terrific
barrage fire and the wonderful dash
of the American soldiers. Later he
saw German prisoners coming in
and remarked that the American
soldiers managed them as if they
had been doing it all their lives.
The spirit and smiles Of the
Americans, even among the wound
ed he said, "is most inspiring. Our
casualties were remarkably light,
being for the most part minor
wounds"
