the Blade supported, because it
believes that with the increasing
numbers in certain wards Of col

least, they will be a factor to be
reckoned with.

when it comes to Negro opportun-
ity. When we think Of the lynch
ings and determinations we are
inclined even to doubt the human
enesS of many of the white
people. They will not escape
their fate else heaven fails in its
scheme, but at the same time
these great world truths need in
no way hinder our personal eff
forts to more fully enjoy this
grand country which has done so
much to prove that the Negro is
human and susceptible to the
world S culture in the same sense
as that of other men. We must
yet fight if we would win, but
with those weapons that make a
far more lasting impression on
the memories of men than guns
and knives.
Dong our part well and nobly,
we are supported by the same law
that keeps the universe intact -
the eternal adjusting of things
in the interest of harmony-the
music Of the spheres, and which is
not unlike that of man when in
his right relation to nature and
its God.

SCISSORED THOUGHTS

st. Louis Argus
II seems reasonable that the
place where IA race has given its
very life, through two hundred
years Of mrcquited toll, whore it
had made the soil productive, had
fellcd mighty mighty forests and
caused wilderness to blossom
like a rose, it seems reasonable
we say, that this should be the
last place where that race could
not feel safe.
