The only great white American, a

raising the question at such a time
and place" After oil 1t was nothing
but Negro blood and why make such
fuss about It?
We Jews can only feel the Negro's
pain. for we ourselves for generations
nave long endured what the Negro is
now enduring. The Negroes trouble
makes us thing about our own cnndi
ton. 1t shows us that liberty on pa
per has no worth if it is II OF from n
full heart. The Jews liberty in Eng
land and America Is such a thing that
man has suspicion Of what has been
brought out by practical l!fo. The
liberty Of the Jews in Romalia has
remained on paper because tile peo
pie have never consented. The Jows
III Russia have neevr enjoyed full
liberty.

DON'T SEGIsEGATE YOURSELVES
AND THEN KICK.

Richmond. Va, April g. 191S.-No
American Citizen wants to be scgre-
gated because the Constitution Of this
Government guarantees each citizen
equal rights, But in spite Of this we
are jim Crowed and segregated in
other ways by tho States and private
parties. If we would stop to think we
would real!Zc that we are helping to
Segregate ourselves.
Wherein VIC purchase goods at store
that forhidS us from being served at
the soda fountain or in the cafeteria
are we not encouraging them to Jim
Crow us? We are also encouraging
the same thing when we patronige tho
Theatres and Movies run by them.
We could name other instances
where we are helping to segrcgatc our
selves. 1t is not necessary to putro--
n:zc these places and be Jim Crowed
for il the stores Of our Race cannot
furnish our wants the stores that
do not segregato us can.
But We have to ride on street cars
and have our rights enfringed upon
so let us resolve to be segregated
where we cannot help ourselves only
ANA then we can fight that segrega
ton letter for the enemy will not
have any defense.
In other words let us Boycott
places that bar us from all Of its ser
vices. If this is done the bars will
hc moved.

BLACK MAN"
thS .sr..,.s ES~

(From Jewish Gazette, July, 1910
! without musicl without wordsa
without force. and without resolu.
tons. on Saturday they marched
through Fifth Ave. The procession
was quiet protest from the Negro
against the unrightcousness that is
practiccd against them. A protest
against Jim-Crow cars. against segre
CATION. lynching and whole sale muir
dering OF their people, such as occurr
cd in Waco, Memphis and East st.
Louis. The procession made q great
impression because it was quiet
protest. 1t touched all fntcilegent
people at the heart, even more than
all speeches and resolutions could
have done.
That was protest of the whole
race against ualrightuousness and
prosecutions, which the race has cn
durcl. without a murmur and without
sin committed against any ono. Every
white man who saw tho procession
turned red In. tho face and let his
countcnance fall because no lives in
such times ard such prosecutions. And
every Jewish heart jumped moro
than others. as his eyes flushed upon
the banners passing by him, for he
was thinking OF the unrightcousnes
that Is done this race. For who other
than Jow knows moro the taste Of
prosecutions: who other than Jews
know more c,out court trials with
no justice.
