IF THEY ARE HUMAN, WHY NOT
EQUAL?

After the war it is supposed that
there will come many changes that
ought to be very favorable to the con-
dition of our race. There never has
been real honest reason why con-
ditions are not favorable to the Negro.
OF course, being black, or varied in
complexion offers no Just human
reason why rights should be denied,
or privileges Withheld from US. Being
illiterate and helpless it would seem
would offer greater reason for just
ice and sympathy. Being human
should settle every question where
there is abundance of intelligence
and culture.
So we are projecting our thought
waves into the future, after the great
world war, feeling that assurance of
ample and nobler regard and sturdy
humanity among all peoples will re-
suit from the hurricane of hate
echoed and re-echoed by thunderous
shot and shell and raining death until
the world is baptized in its own blood.
The human impulse has slipped cog
in the world machinery of peace.
Jealousy had seen its enemy, avarice,
perched too high upon the throne of
commerce and desire grew great, and
hate grew strong and the Hohenzol-
lerns felt the fury of the hate that
was in their blood, and they thought
it was the greatness of true power
: The greatness of true power is justice
and love, The American Attilla will
find this out some day. We trust it
may not be too late. So the Germans
marched to music, and sang the
"Watch on the Rhine" Well, we
started out to write of what is to be,
not what has been, and is. We had
our mental orbits set like the camera
to focus a picture of the future,
when we got to telling about shots
and jealousy and power.
The picture shows a happier, pro-
gressive Negro, with no grin, a real
intellectual smile, and look of sin
cerity and an earnest determination.
He is erect, his head is thrown perp-
endicular, shoulders straight, chest |

He feels that he has progressed be-
yond the stage of human development
to have to be asking for what he has
won by his blood and life and what
belongs to all free people.
He is not asking for rights and
privileges any more, anywhere. And
with that same spirit to die on the
battle fields of France, he takes his
rights and privileges and is just as
ready to die for the rights of his
people in America as he was to die
for America. America had better

A HUGE sKY-ScRAPER DEPART
MENT STORE CAN BE oPER-
ATED BY OUR PEOPLE.

One hundred thousand Negroes in a
large city where every facility is rife
and available ought to be operating
one colossal department store. A
store of many departments giving
employmentsto at least one or two
hundred people. 1t can be done.
Where so many men of ability, fin
ance, and general business knowledge
is exercised in the operation of banks,
insurance, real estate, lawyers, doc
tors, undertakes, druggists, etc, it
ought to be very clear to any casual
observer that millions of the dollars
our people are turning back into the
channels of trade through small
stores, and in the loop, that a great
store operated by Negroes would
prove to be bonanza.
The day of the saloon is almost
gone. We've got to innaugurate
something higher, and on a broader
scale where we can use our money for
nobler purpose and invest our
wages more proftably. The Negro
merchant must be our next best step
upward and forward.
Our young men and women have
got to be given opportunities to cult
vate the business instinct so that they
will be prepared to hold their own in
the coming time of sharp competition
in every avenue of commercial life.
. 1t is up to our shrewd business men
to make the sacrifice of entering
whole heartedly into the busy activ-
tiles of commerce. A great company
could be formed by the leaders in the
second ward. Fifty thousand dollars |
could be subscribed, a charter OBJ
tanned, stock sold in shares of $1,000 |
each to twenty thousand or more of |
our people, a large lot purchased on
State street, a huge sky-scraper
erected and vast beginning will
have been made. Chicago can do it
and should lead and point out the
way. Thousands of our young men
and women are suffering for lack of
incentive; they go to college and
prepare themselves for any activity
of life and many of them fall by the.
wayside because of the lack of enter
prise among our leaders. All cannot
study medicine and law, few care to
become preachers, and the result is
that many college bred men are conf
PEELED to go on the road and become
Pullman porters or dining car walters.
Hold; now do not think, please, that
this is mentioned as an aspersion, far
from that, the Pullman porters and
walters in large measure represent
the best we are and have in this great
city. We speak of the class of work
because it is always open and acces-
sible to the industrious and capable
men of our race, tempting, because it
pays, and inviting because it gives
Them a chance they might never get
IF seeing the country.
This is our apology as well as ex-
olanation. Now lete US reiterate, let
he men of the race who have the
money form a corporation. They
lave got to be the pilots and guides,
he hackers and the merchants and
cad US who suffer for the need of
ust such leadership.
Let US begin to do things on the
colossal scale. There will not be any
allure and there should not be any
