the federal constitution has the close
Of any really great war come III which
our soldiers took part Till now. Also
the war just fought was to establish
the reign Of true democracy. The
Postwar Congress is in session and
a matter is before tho Senate with
which democracy for the race is con
nccted namely, Interstate railroads.
The issue is abolition OF the iniquit
Gus Jim Crow car in interstate travel
by inducing some senator to intro
duced a simple amendment forbidding
the segregation " passengers for col
or III Interstate travel and inducing
other senators to support and push
the amendment to the railroad bill.
The need is for individuals and

Also to lombard Senator Cummins,
Chairman To do or give the race a
hearing. The National Equal Rights

Roll Up Your Sleeves.

When the scoffers scott, and the
Knockers mock,
And the knockers stand at the side
and knock,
Just roll UP your sleeves and buckle in
And stick to your task, and you're
bound to win.
II the things worth while you are
bound to hear
The dolbters doubt and the jeerers
jeer:
For never victor has arisen yet
But somewhere the jibes Of the wise
have met.
So, deaf to the scoffers. just work
along,
And stick to your dream till you
knofI it's wrong
And toss them smile when you hear
folks mock;
It's healthy sign when you hear
folks knock.
