THE DOMINANT WHITE

COD gave YOU power to build and help and lift
But you proved prone to prosecute and STAY
And from the high and noble course to drift
Into the darkness from the light of day.
He gave you law and order, strength of will
The lesser peoples of the world to lead;
You chose to break and crush them through LIES MILL
But for your earthly gains to make them bleed:
Recause you've proved unworthy of your trust
God-He shall humble you down to the dust.
You have betrayed the black, maligned the yellow;
But what else could we hope of you who set
The hand ofsyour against his fellow;
To stem the dire tide that threatens yeti
You called upon the of your false god
To lash wounded flesh with knotted cords
And trample into the bloOd-stained sod,
And justified your deeds with speeOus words:
OH you heve proved unworthy of your trust,
And God shall humble you down to the dust.
The pain you gave nothing assuage
Who hybridized proud and virile race
Bequeathed to it bastard heritage
And made the black ashamed to see his face.
You ruined him, put doubt into his heart,
You set a sword between him and his kin,
And preached to him, with simple, lying art
About the higher worth of your white skinl
Oh White Man! - You have trifled with your trust,
And God shall humble you down to the dust
You blinded 60, afraid to see the Truth,
Closing your eyes to and denying Beauty;
You stultify the dreams of visiOned youth
All in the prostituted of Duty
You place your Seers with madmen fools and rogues
Their words distort and twist, despise their creed:
lou choose instead the little demagOgues
That will uphold you in your shameless greed:
Because you've proved unworthy of your trust,
Oh, He shall humble yOu = down to the dust

THE TIDE Is RISING

The spirit of the race is be-
ginning to be aroused. The wide
sweeping migration of the Negro
from the Southern States to the
North and the East is being
watched both by the politician
and the man of the farm and
the store.
The telling blow at the very
vitality of the Southern states
and the well devined biOw of the
long disfranchised citizen of CO.
Tor to move to states that reco-
gnize them as freeman with the
right TO east a virtuous ballot
where it is duly counted is follow
ing the line of least resistance
This Is the only thing to do; the
sane and safe conduct of sensible
people of any race. What is not
the fault of the race may become
the tyrants misfortune. Too long
already has patience with the
tortured helpless Negro ceased
to be yirture. The economic ele-
ment hinges fiereely upon a de-
termined spirit of self help, and
ever ready willingness to earn
ones daily bread where a better
market and a higher price for
labor gloriously bristles for rea-
dy and willing hands.
Everything may be gained and
so very little to lose by the phi
losophic respect for the woeful
conditions that have hedged the
road of race strife.
The tide is rising.
