One OF the loveliest Of Biblical
names is Rachel, meaning eve. The
first Rachel was the daughter-in-law
OF Rebekah The asplrate IN the mid
die Of her name Is more softly marked
where. in the prophet jeremiah. her
descendants. the Benjsm.te women,
who dwelt around her early grave at
Bethlehem are spoken OF as Rachel
weeping for her children because they
are not" and are assured that they
shall come again TO their own border.
But she is Rachel again where Saint
Matthew shows the mothers Of Beth
lehem weeping over their lambs. Banle
made rantica Rachele with her beauti-
ful eyes, the type OF heavenly con-
temptation ever gazing at the mirror
that reflected heavenly glory, but her
name was not popular although the
Manx princess Africa was thus trans
lated upon her marriage with SOmerled,
Lord Of the Isles, somewhere about
the fifth century.
But Puritan days loved the sound Of
the word and that sweet saint who
sat by Rachels SIDE" has given It a
place in Eng ish families. Rachel was
the name borne by the lady who be-
came the wife Of Varuhagen Won Ense.
With the exception Of the two differ
ent forms OF spelling. Rachel Is with
out dminuiive or contraction. Il is
one Of the few names that maintains
It's sweetness and dignity throughout
It's history The name has been a ia
vorite with painters and many a saint
ly type OF pure transcendent beauty
has been so named.
Rachels gem is the amethyst. Its
soft violet color has a SOLDERING effect

| know, for | have talked to them.
And there is therefore no. justice In
the Negro denouncing the white race
as Il whole, nor rising against them
as whole, because of those indi-
viduals who refuse to consider the
Negro worthy of human rights.
After all, what are "rights.2 As
! see them, they are the privileges
necessary in order to sustain life,
provide for the fature, and obtain ul-
innate eonteniment. To go and come
where one merely wishes, is luxury:
to 20 and come where one must in
order to live, is right. And might
does not make right. Only worthi-
mess makes right. We pen Up a Grim
inal; we put to death murderer;
they are not worthy to live among us.
And he who feels that. simply because
he is a human being, he has right to
a place Of velvet in this human exis-
tence. regardless of his worth, Is a
criminal in that he would steal what
| is not his by worth, and he is d mur-
dered in that he would kin culture
and morality and everything that is
good and clean and strong and pure.
Might does not make right; fight
does not make right; worth, indiyid-
ual worth, makes right and also
achieves it. If it were not so, then
Christ lived in vain, and the church
labors i'll vain, and we educate iii
vain, and should today take sword
and cut bloody pathway in our quest
for our daily needs.
And so, dear brethren. make not
yourselves targets for more insults;
| but patiently, persistently, plan and
achieve the ultimate production of a
perfect race of men who will be proud
Of the color Of their skin; and you
won't have to beg for admission into
picture shows, stores, ssstc., but you
will have these things for yourselves
in such degree as to be the envy Of

Will Our Rights Be Given
Us If We Are Worthy ?

white friend points to the negative
as to the worth and efficiency of our
race to demand the rights due US by
nature and nativity. Then Ii we are
not worthy, the conclusion would be
that the denial of our rights is just.
III the denial of rights. and the
treatment of the Negro in America is
right, the Declaration Of Independence
and the war for the same, We're uri-
just. II these denials are right, the
Proclamation Emancipation is wrong.
If these denials are right, the declara-
tion OF war against the great Teutbnie
race is wrong. But the Declaration Of
independence, the Emancipation Proc
lamation lthe greatest documents in
the worlds history are right and
should be loved by every American
citizen. The great world war, wal
for humanity il right. and impeded
Teutonic intrigues.
We are pleased to Inform our waite
friend that we here hold and persist
! that erudition, tact, and talent, incit-
| ing demand for our rights as citi.
zens of country, with freedom Of
speech, freedom Of the press, pulpit
and platform, to 20 when and where
we please, 50 long as we do not tres
pass upon the rights Of our fellow
man, is the greatest lesson of the age
to be learned by every nation under
the vaulted skies of oppression.

Being linotype operator, it hap
pens that am in position that /
am able to read Mr.. Curtis letter
before it reaches the public, and /
can give my answer aloag with the
publication Of his letter.
Mr. Curtis. the Negro ii no worse
7 off than other people; nor are they
any more worthy than other people;
nor have they done more in the war
than other people. They are simply
folks like the rest of Us, and they feel
the hand of oppression lis not the
| hand of the white man against the
black man, that is striking; it is the
everlasting race of individuals for
what they want, that is bringing mis-
cry into the world.
Let me ask you, Is the colored
race the only oppressed race? God
forbid, no! | am one of those who
feel as If some terrible force of op-
preston was striving every minute of
every day to rob me of my bit OF
| happiness | am one of those who
can be considered poorfinincially.
And yet I know that my state of
| human existence is a paradise COM
pared to that Of millions of white peo-
pie, let alone Negroes. The money
master IS the slave driver Of the world
and we all, white and black, are his
servants. [ am no better off than you
| people when it comes TO oppression.
| The white people have their thoughts,
their actions, their speech dictated to
them by press and pulpit and teacher
and employer and disobedience
means exile from social intercourse.
III, too, have felt the hand of the op-
pressor, and have wondered how to
escape |, too, felt that must strike,
land strike hard |, too, felt that the
world must be forced, at point Of
sword if need be, to render to the man
|underfoot his due.
So the method that | proposed last
week was not one partial to the Negro
but was equally applicable to any in
ldividual, community, or race; nor did
/ propose it with any intention Of
Imeaning that the Negro race, as il
stands, and as a whole, was unworthy
of it's rights. But | do believe that
| the Negro, like every other people
must rise to a height within itself
Of such degree and magnitude that II
will not have to depend upon any
other people either for rights or de-
sires. This condition is possible--not
today, not tomorrow, but in the years
and centuries to come; and not be,
|cause Of the sword of steel or of pol.
| itics, but because of the power oil

i The Negro race is not perfect, any
more than the white race is perfect
