WHITE PEOPLE ARE STRANGE
HUMAN BEINGS.

We cannot hope to settle all our diff

just by finding faults with the white
people whose resident district has been
invaded so recently by hundreds of
our race who have children TO raise,
and who wish nice homes and agree

deed strange human beings. They will
tolerate a white saloon neighbOr and
almost respect his family. They will
even allow prostitutes to flock all over
their residential district, gambling
clubs, eabarets, even the hold up man.
the porch climber, the auto thieves,
anything and everything it seems if
their face is white.
OF course they do not know that the
average eolOred man and woman or
eolored family is superior TO them in
education, refinement and incidentally
the last word in culture, occasionally
very wealthy. They do not know our
boys and girls are sent to the very
best colleges and universities and that
some go to Europe for the study of
music, art, and medicine. They have
that low contemplate idea of eolored
people because they see only the crude
individuals of the race, and do not
come into social relation with our

deed il is for them to think Us all
alike. We do not think they are all
alike. This is what makes a situation

A WORD FOR THE DEAD.
BY Dr.. n. A Majors.

Chicago has recently been shocked
by the death of Hon. Geo. W. Ellis,
who was Asst. Corporation Counsel Of
the present administration, and Mr..
Beaureguard MOseley an attorney and
politician, more recently the owner Of
Idlewild Hotel, and frequently spoken
of as Mayor of Idlewild, Michigan,
where he had considerable property.
Mr.. Ellis was a writer and author Of
two or three books, and a member Of
the Worlds Geographical Society and
noted as a traveller and for being one
of the very few Negroes written up in
'.who is whoi"
The two lawyers died less than
a week a part. The writer has heard
the two men speak from the same
platform on the same occasion.
Both of these leaders were ambitious
along separate lines. Mr.. Ellis was
distinguished for elOquenee and sehol-
arship. He loved history and strange
peoples and IT was his delight to study
them in their native haunts. Mr..
Moseley was a business spirit. He
was frugal, earnest and aequisitive.
Had he lived no doubt he would have
become a rich man for he was aiming
in that direction.
