The Fighting Chance.
"Cascy's back, spying" announced
Wooster at mess one evening. BY that

been q smudge Of slumbering fires be-

son who returns suddenly into a room,
hushing an active babel Of tongues.
He knew what he would find. ample

CHIPS.

Politics, religion, industry education
and business are the things that inter
est all of mankind. II is not well fOr
any race TO depend upon any one of
these forces. We as eolOred people
must embrace each of them with a
given determination that each of them
will make US a powerful race just as
they have done for the white race.
heretofore we have given attention
only TO education and religion.
The cold wave has struck our city
this year before the holidays and with
the coal restrictions touching the street
car system, and the big department
stores Christmas shopping will be a
hardship to many which we will not
very soon forget.
If sugar gets any higher we will not
waste our sweeting on the desert air.
But the skirts are going higher and
many "a fool will waste his eyes upon
the fair.
Eggs have gone up to a dollar. Per

The Arkansas Governor has been
given an opportunity TO learn that the
Negro is very much the rest of the hu-
manity of the world.
Like Old Ben Tillman he Is cognizant
of few good Negroes, but he did not
know that there were hundreds of thou
sands of intelligent aggressive cdu-
Gated Negroes.
Strange that SambO class has so inn
pressed the Southern white man that /
it is the only kind worthy of his ad |
miration.
We need not worry at the cost of
things we have to eat if wages are
such that we can afford to pay the
