THE WHITES AND BLACKS AND THE
HOUSING PROBLEM

Race riots in Chicago and other northern cities
seem TO have in them suggestion for south Bend
incident TO housing problem. u is really
.'housine problem" say of those who have
studied IT, and with deal Of logic
SAYS an eastern paper: THE influx of eolored
laborers and their families from the south during
the war necessarily gave rise To the question Of
how to house them; and there being not enough
room in the districts irhabited boy their own race.
they naturally took Jp residence in the sections
where the white people living The latter. Of
course resented this. ard for months there have
been hostile feelings between the two races"
tt is well known taat white people and black
people not get along wen as neighbors- Quite
aside from any theoretical question of equality
it j. always better as a practical arrangement to
have them living in separate districts Where the
whites blacks OF amy community are thus sep
arated and where neither ntrudes on the other
except for necessary purposes Of work and bust
ness the: generally get along amicably
Where the two races touch, there is nearly al
ways what msht ae called racial abrasion They
quarrel along the edges And if for reason me
edges shift and break and section crowds into
the Other the quarrelng is likely to spread through
the whole mass That means race riots.
The north invited those negroes during the war.
The communities in;o which they moved expected
to profit by their labor, and did. Those commun-
ties ought as a simple matter Of common sense.
10 have provided the necessary living facilities for
the additional negroes alongside of their race.
ana thus kept them from encroaching on the white
sections If they had done that there would prob
ably have been little trouble.
a sensible building policy might yet solve the
problem.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James ]. Montague
THE PROPHECY.

There was a goody-goody boy
Who learned HE lessons well,
And took vast amount of Joy
In knowing how to spell.
Whenever other boys were slow
With their arithmetic.
He'd raise his hand and say. Il knowI''
And tell the answer. quick.
So good child. in short. was he.
His teacher used to say,
Our little George will surely be
he governor some day.
There was another little boy
Who sat up nights to find
Ingenious methods to destroy
The teachers peace of mind.
He scatter powder on the floor.
To make the children sneeze,
His teacher, whom he should adore,
he called piece of cheese.
And she would frown and look severe,
And shake her head, and say
II Thomas won't be good, | fear
Hell go to jail some day"
Now teachers do not always know
FOR there is no sure rule
OF telling where boy will go
When he departs from school.
Good boys have perpetrated crimes
And fallen to disgrace,
While naughty boys have oftentimes
Been foremost in the race
But that is not the ending for
This truthful little tale
For George became governor
And Thomas went to jail
